"Best Friends." (A Benedict Cumberbatch love story)

Chapter 3

My face got hot. What did he need to talk to me about? Oh god. I'm anxious to know. About three hours later we went inside. Benedict and I went down a hallway that was towards the back of the building. We were all alone.

"So, what's up?" I asked nervously.

He put his hand on the wall, just above my head. He leaned in towards me. I could smell his minty breath as he looked me in the eyes. He then came closer to my face, he closed his eyes and pressed his lips to mine.

This was all just happening unexpecticly. I was shocked, but really happy. He put his arm around my waist, and pulled me towards him as we continued to kiss.

He pulled back and looked at me and smiled, "I have been waiting to do that for a while now."

This just doesn't seem real. More like one of those fan-fictions I've read in the past.

I smiled, "Me too." I started to blush.

He took my hand and we walked to the theater. I passed Chris and Zach who stood in amaze-ment. I turned to them and mouthed, "We kissed."

They both gave me a thumbs up. Then they followed us into the theater.

We sat in the front row. I sat next to Benedict and Zach, Chris was one over from me. I leaned into both of them.

"Give us the details after the movie." Chris whispered.

I smiled, "Will do."

After the movie, Benedict went to go talk to other cast mates. I stood with Zach and Chris.

"So, what happened?" Chris asked excitingly.

"Well, while we were outside, he told me he had to talk to me. So when we came inside, we went down this hallway. And he kissed me."

"How long was the kiss?" Zach asked.

"Tongue or no tongue?" Chris asked.

"Only a few seconds, and no."

"Well, we're glad it finally happened."

"I'm glad it finally happened too." I sighed and smiled.

"Now what?" 

"I don't know."

"Maybe he'll ask you to spend the night." Zach smiled.

I laughed, "I would love that."

Benedict came back over to us with Anton, another guy I wanted to meet today, but I didn't get to earlier.

"You must be Emma, you're more beautiful in person." He smiled as he took my hand.

"Thanks." I smiled back, "I need to get your guy's numbers."

All three of them pulled their phones out. I took each of their phones and put my number down. Once they took their phones back, they both sent me a text.

I laughed, "I want milkshakes." I said as I read Anton's text. I looked at him, "I do too."

"We should go get some then!" Benedict said.

"Alright!" 

We went up to the parking garage and we pilled in Benedict's car, even though it was small. We drove to the nearest McDonald's.

"These might not be milkshakes, but they sure are good." Anton said as he took his McFlurry from Benedict.

"We should all go back to my place." Chris said.

"I'm fine with this." I said, "If you are." I looked at Benedict.

"I'm okay with it." He smiled.

It took us about thirty minutes to drive to Chris' house.

"Holy shit, your house is huge!" I said as we pulled into the driveway.

He chuckled and got out of the car. Benedict and I stayed in the car for a minute.

"What's up?" I asked him.

He smiled at me, "Nothing." He kissed me. 

Then we both got out of the car and we went inside the house. Zach and Anton already started a game of pool, while Chris was in the kitchen, mixing drinks. Benedict and I sat on the couch.

"Shall we put some music on?" Zach asked.

"Sure!" I jumped off the couch, "What kind of stuff does he have?"

Zach and I looked at the big music collection Chris had.

"AC/DC." Zach said as he pointed to the Back in Black album.

"Put that on." I smiled.

Hell's Bells was the first song to come on.

"AC/DC is one of the best bands out there." I said as I sat back down on the couch. I cuddled up into his chest.

He nodded his head, agreeing with me, "Same with Queen."

I laughed, "Of course! Queen is your favorite band."

"You know me so well." He kissed the top of my head.

Chris came out of the kitchen with two drinks in his hands. He handed one to Zach, and one to Anton. He then went back into the kitchen and grabbed two more drinks. He came back into the room and handed one to Benedict, and one to me. He then went and grabbed his drink.

When he came back he said, "I'd like to make a toast. To great actors, great friends, couples." He smiled at Benedict and I, "And to Star Trek. It was really great working with you guys."

"To Star Trek!" We all said as we raised our glasses.
