Your New Father(A Benedict Cumberbatch Fan Fiction)

Chapter 17

Scarlet POV~

It was 5.30pm and since Ben needed sometime to rest, I decided I would prepare dinner.

"Hey babe! How's it going?" Cecil called.

"Good, Linda and Lind was chased out by Ben."

"Oh good, but Ben's going to have hard time." I put in on to speaker.

"Yea... he's having his time alone now so I'm preparing dinner."

"For you only?" he asked whoch I found was a silly question.

"No of course not. For both Ben and I." he immediately laughed after I said it.

"You? Making dinner? I sure hope Ben survive..."

"Hey I'm much better now! That time was just a mistake! You're such a jerk!"

"Awww babe don't be like that... look I'm sorry just..."

"Just what jerkface?"

"I saw you cooked just, remember the fire must never be too big, don't blow up the kitchen, don't put metal into the microwave, don't burn yourself and..."

"I get it babe I et it, you want me to be careful."

"Right now good luck. I need to get ready before Chris comes back home."

"Chris is coming back?"

"Yea... I'll have a rough night. Got to go babe, I'll see you in school." he hung up. Ben came down at about 7.30pm, just in time for dinner.

"Dinner is serve!!" I said while handing him his food.

"Wow this is good! Really good! Where did you get this!" he was muncing up fast, either it was really good, or he was hungry.

"I made it myself!" I said. He laughed his lungs out immediately which I found a bit insulting.

"Hey..." I said.

"Stop joking Scarlet darling!"

"I'm serious.... Ughh!" I said and continued eating. Suprisingly, it was good.

"Well the kitchen is messy, and you never clean up... so I buy it, you are the one who made this." Ben finally showing his smartness.

"Wonder why Cecil use to warn me about you cooking..." he said.

"What?!" I stood up and yelled.

"Young lady, you better sit back down right now! Wher are your manners?!"

"I'm sorry but what did Cecil said?"

"He said you are highly dangerous, almost as dangerous as radioactive chemicals, in the kitchen. Told me you put a metal fork in the microwave. Lucky you he was there to save you."

"That was before we date! When we were doing an experiment! I like finding out stuff and do experiment and doing all these, we need to take risk!"

"Wow with these personalities, you should feature in the next Sherlock."

"Oh please I'll never be a star like you..."

"Well anything is possible. Why not you go clean up the kitchen after you finnish your food and I'll bring you up to London City for a walk?"

"Sure!" I have lived here for more than 9 months already and we never really had a walk together. I washed the dishes, clean up the kitchen and took a shower. I wore a rose printed black strappy playsuit and a pair of red flats and went out.

"So how's your work going?" I asked, hoping I could cheer him up.

"Good, fun, doing what I enjoy to do. May be a little busy next month but I promise, I'll find time to spend some father daughter time with you..." he said while giving me a hug. To be frank I enjoy hugging him more than hugging Cecil. Ben could give me the warmnest and safetinest because he was tall and when he hugged me, he could cover all of me.

"Thanks Ben, for everyhing and I'm sorry..."

"For what?"

"If I didn't agree to move in with you... None of this would have happen..."

"Are you crazy?! I'm enjoying this crazy life right now!"

"What you're not even a little?! Mad?!"

"No way girl! You helped me find out that, having a crazy life is much better than just going out hiding fron the paparazzies...."

"You're crazy." I said.

"No you are." he said childishly.

"Oh stop it."

"Since when did you sound like a mother?"

"Since you started sounding like a kid. Come on, let's go get a smoothie!"

"Hey it's too late for a smoothie." he said with an adult tone.

"But it's only 9.30!"

"And.... that's not late?"

"No!" that was when my voice caught others attention.

"Great, come on we need to go now before any cameras come!" he pulled me and we ran all the way home. I was dying back home, we ran fast, really fast.

"Wow your stamina is really bad...." he said while I fall down on to the coach.

"Shut.... shut..... up...." I said.

"Okay okay, come on it's late, go to bed now."

"Just.... let..... let me.... lay here...."

"No, go up to your room. You're a lady, you can't just sleep in the living room like that!" he said with his adult tone, again.

"Please...."

"No." he was serious. I ignored him totally which sort off got into his nerves.

"Okay fine but only this time." he carried me bridal style all the way to my room and helped me change into some more comfortable clothes.

"Erm... Scarlet?"

"Wat?"

"You should take your bra out yourself." it was weird having your dad to say that to you but who cares?! It's Benedict Cumberbatch here!

"Ugh..." I took my bra out, I had ways to take my bra out without taking off my shirt, and I tossed it to the other side of the room and fell back off to bed.

"You can't just throw your clothes on the floor like that!"

"Please?"

"Only this time." he put my blanket over me, kissed me on my forehead, off the lights and went out. After living here for so many months, that was the first time he treated me like that. Usually was just him coming home, eat some dinner and we went uo to do our own things. Hopefully I made him feel better after what happened that day.
