King of lies (moriarty)

Dinner pt.1

   I ended up the next day not seeing Richard for his morning coffee. I couldn't help but feel rejected, but all thoughts were banished away with one text. The only worlds being 'see you tonight -RB'. With that I was elated.
  
   I walk into my flat as I hear gunshots go off. I don't mind them much knowing sherlock he was probably not doing so well on a case. I see a sandy blond head pop out of the door.

   "Ah, yes, Katrina! Come do have some tea with me," My neighbor john says sticking his head back into the room, leaving me no choice but to go in.

   When I go in I am assaulted by the look and smell of Sherlock. 'My lord!' I think to myself giving him a one over. His blue stripped bathrobe was wrinkled with random stains I did not want to know about. His pants also wrinkled with a few stains here and there, his shirt surprisingly clean. His hair was in disarray, curls spattered around his head, it was obvious he hadn't showered.

   John soon comes out looking far better than Sherlock. His usual sweater and shirt along with his jeans made him more approachable. While Sherlock looked like a homeless addict, john looked like a pristine working man. His sandy blonde hair combed. His eyes warm and inviting while Sherlock's was cold and detached. It was easy to say john was far easier to like.

   He hands me a tea cup his fingers calloused and worn. I take it my dainty fingers soft, so different we were, he hard grit and ready, me soft and easy going. I carefully sip from the cup letting the warm earl grey tea sooth my throat.

   "So, Katrina, how was work today?" John asks completely ignoring Sherlock's pouty childish behavior, as he slumps on the couch.

   "Oh it was fine. Not a lot of customers, but it was better than yesterday," I say trying to make okay small talk and keep my eye on the clock.

   "Yes yesterday's rain was hid-" john is suddenly cut off by Sherlock's cold voice.

   "You're expecting someone," He says, not a question, but a statement. John gives Sherlock a withering glare. I look over to him and smile.

   "Ah yeah," I say rubbing the back of my neck out of nervousness. "I hit it off pretty good with a guy from the coffee shop." I say my cheeks gaining a little bit of pink.

   "Well, that's amazing!" Exclaims Watson, looking truly happy for me. "I was waiting for you to find someone! If you can't get someone, then there's no hope for any of us." His tone teasing, making my face flush a little more.

   "Ah yes, I suspect it's around six tonight and it's already four thirty. Best be on your way." Sherlock says 'helping' me up. His stench making it worse for me. He takes me to the door blocking it with his tall and lean frame.

   "Well, I guess we will have tea some other time," Says john giving me an apologetic look. I smile to reassure him that it's okay.

  "Yes, for sure next ti-" This time, I'm cut off by Sherlock by him slamming the door in my face. Part of me wants to bang the door down and hit him with it. I turn around and roll my eyes, and make my way upstairs.

   When I make it to my flat I strip off the black dress I wore to work today. Opting to put on a modest maroon dress with long lace sleeves. The middle hugs my waist and flares out along my hips. The low ride neck line showing cleavage but not enough for me to be damned a slut. I take my long dark hair and curl it, letting it fall where it may. My makeup consisting of the usual with a beautifully swept cat eye; making my eyes more open. My lashes up making my hazel eyes all the more enchanting. I carefully apply a baby pink lipstick, rub my lips together and look into the mirror. During my checking out myself session I hear my door being knocked.

   I slip out of my bathroom, and rush to put on my black lace flats. I open the plain looking door, to see an outstanding view in front of me. Richard looked amazing; his dark hair slicked back perfectly, not a hair moving out of place. His dark eyes glinting it's usual mischief with a hint of what looks to be lust. He's dressed in a black Westwood suit. The fitting showing off his body in all the right ways. His shoes polished and beautiful.

   He takes me in and his eyes grow wide. "Wow," He says, a smirk now blossoming onto his beautiful features. "Well, I'm the lucky one tonight. I'm going to have to beat the men off of you." His Irish accent making me swoon, his words making me blush.

   "Well, I'm going to have to beat all the women off of you," I say gesturing to his immaculate outfit. "You look amazing."

   He puts out his arm, "Shall we, my dear?" I nod and he sweeps me away; closing the door with haste. I giggle and let him lead me down to a shiny black town car.

   "Wow, you don't hold back," In all honesty I've never ridden in one. Part of me, the child part, wanted to dance around. Here I was with this dashing and hot Irish man. I pinched my thigh, hoping this not to be a dream.

   "Never will I hold back when I have such a gorgeous date like you on my arm," He winks at me, and helps me in. He laces his arm with mine, making my stomach do flips. I just look up at him and give him my megawatt smile. His eyes grow darker, and he licks his lips.

   It seems like a second and yet an eternity that we were staring at each other; and didn't even notice we arrived at the restaurant. The door is opened and Richard helps me out of the car. I'm met by a huge building with gorgeous gold lettering. We were eating at the Angler. The beautiful white interior had me looking more at it, and less at my date. He just chuckles and walks up to the hostess.

   "Two for the last name Brooke." Richard says to the blonde. She ogles him, I swear I saw drool escape her mouth. She just shakes her head and walks off, we just follow along. We are seated at a private table overlooking the city. I stare in awe, Richard just stares at me. His hand holds mine, and I look over at him.

   "This is going to be an amazing night," His smile is brighter than the candles lit on the table. My stomach drops like it's on its own personal roller coaster. Oh lord here we go.
