Spilt Coffee: A Benedict Cumberbatch Love Story

Ten

        I sat and waited and 30 minutes later there was a knock on the door. Beth, who had been sitting next to me, quickly got up to answer the door but I stopped her and decided I needed to do it myself. "Norah finally I'v-" *SMACK* he looked at me in shock, "...alright I deserved that but I-" *SMACK* This time I slapped him extra hard across the face.

        "No Ben you don't get to be apart of my life anymore!" I yelled at him,"You don't get to do this, Fuck someone else and then come back acting like you give a shit, YOU DON'T GET TO DO THAT!" I was filled with more rage than sadness this morning. "I MISSED YOU AND SHE WAS THERE AND IT WAS A MISTAKE I'M SORRY!!" He pleaded. "Well.... How do I know that you won't wake up one morning and think I'm a mistake...." I stared at him for the longest time before saying, "Piss off Ben, just go back to her because she's there and I'm not." Saying that I quickly attempted to shut the door.

        Then I felt a force against the door. "I will stay outside the door forever if I have too. Norah let me in." Beth looked at me and said "Norah just let him, what more harm could he do." I looked down for a moment and opened the door.

        "You have ten minutes." I told Benedict as he walked in. I sat down on the couch and told Benedict to start talking "I stop talking to you because, each message was like a dagger to my heart." I started to roll my eyes and muttered "Bullshit." Benedict then looked me in the eyes and said "Norah, you leaving was the worst thing. And I know that part of it was my fault, no it was all my fault, because I told you to go, I told you to go, to have fun. I told you I would wait for you and I didn't." I started crying, I hated him for hurting me so much.

        "Who is the girl. Who is the next victim becoming the love of your life because obviously-"

        "Norie you're the love of my life, and will always be that. I don't care how long I have to take to prove to you that I still love you." At this point I was done with the conversation. "Your time is up." I said coldly without even looking at him. "But Norie-" I looked at him "I said your time is up. Please leave now, I want to be alone." He started to walk away and said "If you change your mind, you know where to find me."
