[Sherlocks POV]
John had booked a holiday, in a small cottage, located in the middle of no-where, about a week ago. He said it was something like a 'relaxation holiday'. To get away from London for a bit, or something like that, I wasn't really listening.
John flung his suitcase into the back of a cab, as well as a small bag I had packed. Since we were only going for a few days, I didn't think it was nessisary to bring a lot of things.
I then climbed into the cab, followed by a very eager John.
"Ready?" I nodded, making my black, curly hair bounce in my face.
"Right then..." John then told the address to the cabbie, and we were off.
I could help but stare at John, for most of the journey. Today... He looked stunning. But why? I mean he was wearing his usual plain shirt, with a brown cardigan over the top, as well as a black coat, which he had left unbuttoned.
I looked at his shirt, and realised that the first three top buttons were undone... Which was more buttons he normally did.
All this thought, completely took me away from reality, and put me in some sort of trance.
It was only when John placed his hand on my leg, was when I realised where I was. I stared out of the window, of the cab, and saw and old, Victorian, thatched roofed, cottage. The front garden was littered with brightly coloured flowers... It was beautiful.
"Come on Sherlock," "John removed his hand from Sherlocks leg, and got out of the cab. I followed, soon after.
John grabbed our luggage from the boot of the cab. He then paid the cabbie, and he drove off.
John and I walked up the pathway, to the front door if the beautiful cottage. John slid the key, he was sent, by the owner, through the post, into the lock. Slowly, he pushed the door open to reveal a beautifully decorated cottage.
A shandalere hung in the living room, which was painted a dark red. Above a wood burning fire place, was a picture of the cottage, from 1973. Three sofas were littered around a small coffee table, which was is front of the fire place.
John placed the luggage on the floor, in the living room, and looked around.
"Very posh, don't you think.". John folded his arms over his chest. "Right, I'm going to look around... Emm, you can do what you want, really..." John left me to wander around, which gave me some time to think. If John said this was going to be a relaxing couple of days, I want to take advantage of it!
John returned within a few minutes. "I've chosen my bedroom, it's the first room on the right hand side, if you go down the corridor, which leads to the kitchen. Yours is the first room, on the left. Next to that is the bathroom..." I picked up my bag, and went to the destination John had told me to go. First on the left.
The room was small, but big enough to fit a double bed, and a small cupboard.
I began to put all of my belongings in the cupboard, until I heard a knock on the door.
"Sherlock? Do you want a cup of tea?"
"Yes, thanks John."
I heard a scurry of feet, followed by the sound of a kettle boiling.
John returned to my room around ten minutes later, holding a cup and saucer. He handed me my tea, and I took a small sip from it, before placing it on the small cupboard.
"Look... Sherlock, I-I..."
I stared up at John. "John?"
There was a small silence.
"Sherlock, what I was going to say was... Have dinner, with me, tonight.. I'll cook... We'll talk then..." I gave John a tight lipped smile, as he walked out of the room.
~~****~~
It was now six o'clock. John and I were sat round a table, spooning some sort of Greek salads into our mouths.
"What were you say earlier, John?"
"Oh... Well... Sherlock, I was thinking that maybe you and I could... Well, I don't know..."
"John, If your saying what I think your trying to say... I feel the same way..."
"Really?"
"Yes, John... I think- I think I love you..."
John began to flush a light pink.
"Well... Sherlock... I love you... There, I said it! Sherlock Holmes, I love you!"
