Nothing Is Impossible (Benedict Cumberbatch fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-Six

Chapter Twenty-Six

"Ben, can I ask you something?" I sat up in bed, we had been having a lazy day of cuddling and watching movies.

"Anything." He said, looking into my eyes.

"Did you mean all those things you said to me when I was in a comma?"

"Every word. Emi, I meant every word. I love you, and can't live without you. Almost losing you made me realize that I needed to say it out loud." He kissed my forehead.

"I love you too, Ben." I kissed him on lips, then laid back down.

Annette was still in town for another day. She wanted to make her experience here as best as possible-after all, she did initially come because I was in a comma. Ben told me about a dance he was invited to and said Annette could come. Ben set her up with Tom Hiddleston, and she didn't protest.

I helped Annette pick out a dress to wear.

"This one and these heels?" She asked.

I glanced at the deep purple, high-low dress she held with silver heels. I nodded. I went back to doing my make-up. I was wearing a black, long sleeved, short (ish), tight(ish) dress and matching heels.

Annette changed and started curling her dark, thick, brown hair. I straightened my hair.

Once we were both ready, Ben came around the corner.

"Ready?" He asked.

Annette and I nodded at the same time.

***

At the dance, Annette couldn't stop smiling. She had every right to, she was having an awesome night with an awesome guy. I admit it, I fangirled a little at first when I saw Tom.

Ben and I were talking while Annette and Tom danced.

"What do you want to do now? I know you don't want to go back to Juilliard, you said that already, but what about your music?" Ben asked me as I sipped some of my drink.

I sighed, because truth be told, I didn't know what I was going to do, "I don't know," I told him, "I guess it just wasn't meant to be. But that's ok, I'll just sing for you, and you only." I winked at him.

Ben laughed, we both had been drinking, and we laughed often, "So I guess you're not too upset about it?"

"Nah, I didn't really like it there. Well, I did, but I missed you too much, I don't think I would have lasted too much longer." I sipped my drink again.

A new song started playing. It was slow, but not too slow. We hadn't danced yet since we got here, and it seemed right to do it now.

"Care to dance?" Ben said, holding out his hand.

I nodded, grabbing his hand. He lifted me from my chair and we walked to the dance floor. We got close to the middle of the dance floor and began to two-step.

After we finished dancing the two-step, a very slow song came on. The lighting was dim, and the moment felt right. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. I inhaled his scent. He wrapped both arms around my waist and held me close to him. I had my arms wrapped around him and we slowly swayed to the song.

We didn't talk or say anything, we just swayed to the song and held each other close. I forgot about everyone around us, I just thought about Ben. My mind didn't worry, it just wandered. At this moment, I felt like every horrible thing that's happened to me, never was. All my troubles disappeared.

Then what seemed too soon, the song ended.

~~A/N: She's going to stay in London :D
