Nothing Is Impossible (Benedict Cumberbatch fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Chapter Twenty-Nine

"OH MY FUCKING GOD!!" Quinn yelled so hard I thought she was going to shatter my eardrums.

"Quinn, calm down." I said, reassuringly.

"BUT YOU'RE ENGAGED! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Quinn was definitely shocked.

"Yes, I am, now calm down."

"I'll try. Well I have to go, congrats love birds." Quinn hung up.

I set my phone down and sighed. Ben was in the shower, getting ready for work. I was going to be going with him, but I was nervous. I was nervous of people finding out about Ben and I's engagement. I was worried about what they'd think...

Oh well, it's our lives, not their's.

"Emerald, I've known about Benedict planning on popping the question for a while now, it's no surprise to me." Martin winked.

I blushed. It didn't surprise me that Martin knew about it before I did, after all, he and Ben are best friends.

"Well, after a long day, I think Emi and I should get going." Ben said, grabbing my hand.

"Yea, I should get going too. Bye guys." Martin waved to us as we walked our separate ways.

Ben and I got into a cab and headed back for the flat. The ride was quiet most of the way. Once we got to the flat, we paid the cabbie and got out. We walked up to the flat.

I kicked off my shoes as soon as we got inside. I walked into the bedroom and changed into a camisole and sweats. Ben changed after me and we got into bed and laid down.

I wrapped my arms around Ben's chest. He wrapped his arms around me. We laid in silence for a minute.

Then, Ben broke the comfortable silence, "I love you, Emi."

I looked into his aquamarine eyes, "I love you too, Ben." He smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Do you know why my name is Emerald?" It's something I've never told anyone—well, I've never had anyone to tell it to. My dad named me, and he used to tell me the meaning behind my name all the time.

"No, I don't know, tell me."

"Well, I was born in January, as you know, on a Tuesday, and the birthstone for a Tuesday, is the emerald. My dad's favorite colour was green, so it was fitting. My name was going to be Elizabeth, after my dad's mother, but he decided to make it my middle name after he first saw me. That's why my name is Emerald Elizabeth."

"I love it, your name is beautiful, just like you." As Ben said this, I blushed.
