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

Chapter 5

He grabbed my arm, "What did you guys talk about in there? You were there for a while." 

I zipped my lips and walked away from Chris. I went over to Benedict and wrapped my arms around his waist. I rested my head on his back for a second, then turned around and hugged me. I burried my face into his chest. 

"Would you like to be alone for a while?" He whispered to me. 

I nodded my head and looked up at him. He smiled at me, then he kissed me.  

I took him by his hand and started walking away from everyone. We passed Chris, who was still standing in the same spot. 

"Do not do it until I return." I whispered as I passed him. 

We went to the front room and sat on the couch.  

He pushed some of my hair out of my face. He rested his forehead to mine for a few seconds, then he pressed his warm lips to mine. God this felt good. 

We stopped kissing for a second. He rested his forehead to mine again. 

"I want to ask you something." He whispered. 

My body tensed up. He's going to ask me to be his girlfriend! The excitement grew inside of me. 

"Yeah?" I whispered back. 

"Would you do the honor," he held my hand in his, "Of being my girlfriend?" 

"Yeah." I bit my lip and smiled. 

He smiled too. Then he started kissing me again. We're official! I'm officially Benedict Cumberbatch's girlfriend! I made it past the friend zone!  

Today was perfect. I got the man of my dreams, I made new friends, I'm changing the Hollywood world by setting Zach and Chris up. This couldn't get any better. 

Benedict stopped kissing me, and he looked into my eyes, "You're perfect." He whispered, "And you're all mine." He smiled as he placed his hand on my cheek. 

"And I couldn't be happier." I smiled. 

He kissed me again, but this time he pulled me onto his lap. He laid back and continued to pull me on top of him. I ran my fingers through his hair as we kissed. It was wonderful. Hell, I was already ready to hit a home run with him! If you know what I mean. But, I didn't want him to think of me any different. And I certainly don't want rush things and make it uncomfortable for him. Slow and steady pace. 

Oh who was I kidding! Benedict is perfect!  

No, no, I must resist.  

We were interrupted with the sound of a throat being cleared. 

We looked over and in the doorway stood Zach. 

"Uhh, sorry to interrupt, but we're about to put a movie in.. If you guys wanna join us. Whenever you're ready." 

I smiled, "We'll be in, in a minute." 

Zach returned the smile, then left. 

I looked back at Benedict. 

"We have to leave after the movie.. You can stay at my place for the night." He smiled before kissing me once more. 

We both got off the couch and left the room. We went back into the living room. He sat on the couch and pulled me on top of him.

Ten minutes into the movie, I kept my eyes on Chris. He looked over at me, I could tell he was nervous as hell. But he shouldn't be, everything will be fine. I gave him a comforting smile before returning my attention back to the movie, and watching them out of the corner of my eye.
