Sherlock x OC - The Black Masquerade Mask (Book 1)

One Last Kiss

"Here's how this is going to go...I'm going to sit my ass down here and not leave until you tell me" I sat down on Mycroft's desk putting my feet up and lighting a cigarette. Mycroft took a deep breath and faked a smile "Viola, get down from the table if someone walks in here, they would get the wrong idea!" He scolded me.

"Mycroft, take a hard look at my face right now" I said pointing a finger at my face and he rolled his eyes looking back to me "Whats wrong with your face?" "This look on my face is the I. dont. give. a. FUCK. look. TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED WITH JIM TELL ME!" I finally snapped. "THATS ENOUGH!" Mycroft stood up slamming his fists on the table.

I flinched startled by his sudden anger. "You've gone too far Ema, I have better things to do than listen to your nagging for the past four hours!" "Dont make me hurt you Mycroft" I glowered dangerously at him as he looked me in the eyes not sure how to react.

"You hurt me? Dont make me lock you up" Mycroft said threatening me now. I smirked at him "Before your guards reach it would be too late" "Ema, stop wasting my time. Jim and I did not 'exchange' anything" Mycroft insisted to lie to my face. I nodded.

"Fine, I want to see the recorded tape for the whole time Jim was here" Mycroft forced a smile mocking me "It's not of my reach, unfortunately" Mycroft said looking at his watch "I think you should continue your love affair with Sherlock, Jim has been gone for quiet some time now" I looked at my watch and realized he was right.

"This isn't over Mycroft Asshole Holmes" I snapped at him throwing the cigarette on his clean floor. "I can put you in prison for that violation" Mycroft said glaring at my actions. "Well, you can also go fuck yourself" I said, he sighed in irritation signaling for me to leave, I glared at him as I started walking out of his office. I got up on my motorcycle and drove away to see Sherlock.

Baker Street

I ran upstairs eager to know how it went between Sherlock and Jim. "Sherlock.." I looked around didn't find him. "SHERLOCK!" I yelled out starting to get worried until he tapped me on the shoulder "Oh my god don't sneak up on me like that!" I said sighing in relief. "You're so jumpy today" Sherlock observed. "Sherlock focus! Tell me everything. How did it go with Jim?" He sighed sitting on the chair and I followed.

"He's a brilliant man" Sherlock commented. I arched an eyebrow in surprise "Excuse me? Sherlock don't describe him tell me what did you talk about?" I asked impatiently as he looked up at me. "We had a little chat about a few things...Ema don't concern yourself with him" I gasped dramatically "I cant believe you wont tell me...You and Mycroft are such jerks! I tell you guys everything and you tell me nothing what am I not trustworthy? Or am I-"

Sherlock cut me off, he got up and leaned his face closer to mine which made me go silent completely. "This works better than I expected it to" I gulped nervously at our closeness and scowled at him. "Dont toy with me like that Sherlock!" I snapped at him really pissed off that he's teasing me. And that he wont tell me what Jim said. "Why would you consider this toying with you?" Sherlock asked confused.

"Because I'm trying to be serious here! I need to know what happened am I asking for too much?" Sherlock let go of me turning around and picked up his violin. "Sherlock don't ignore me! Im talking to you" He sighed in irritation and started playing "Fine then, Ill ask Jim myself" I snapped at him and he stopped playing. "If you ask Jim you'll get nowhere don't be stupid Ema, Mycroft has your phone bugged" Sherlock snapped at me his voice cold and he was being his usual self.

"Then why cant you tell me? I don't understand the big deal, what do you think I'm a threat to you Sherlock?" He stayed silent walking away to the bedroom and slamming the door behind him. "You're fucking unbelievable!" I yelled across the hall, picked up my bag and bumped into John downstairs. "Ema, where you going? Whats wrong?" John asked concerned. "I need to calm down Ill be back in a bit don't worry" I said as politely as possible. He nodded "Take care"
