Beautiful Distraction - Sherlock X Reader

Chapter 11 - Could It Be... Sentiment?

(Y/n)'s P.O.V.:

"I thought you'll never come!" Greg exclaimed as soon as he saw me. I laughed and hugged him.

"Sorry, I was working on a case whole day." I said unlocking the door and letting him in.

"Make yourself at home." I said taking my coat off and hanging it on the door.

"You don't have to tell me twice."Greg laughed. I turned around and saw him laying on the sofa.

"Okay, maybe not too comfortable!" I laughed as well and sat on the (f/c) armchair next to the sofa. He laughed and sat up.

"Tea? Coffee?" I asked.

"No, I can't stay for long. I just came to see how are you doing. Looks like the most of the furniture is here." He said looking around.  

"Yeah, but most of my books are not here yet. As well as few other things, like my bed." I sighed.

"You still don't have a bed?" Greg asked.

"Yeah, I sleep on the sofa. Or, I would've slept if I wasn't working on a case 24/7! I haven't had a proper sleep since I left America." I said rubbing my eyes.

"Sherlock is constantly on the move, huh?" He chuckled.

"Yes, I - wait. How did you know I was with Sherlock?"

"Dimmock called and said that you left with Sherlock earlier and didn't come back." HE explained and I nodded.

"I like the way he thinks."

"Just like you." I shot him a glare.

"Yes, Dimmock told me me about your deduction back at victim's house. He's impressed."

"Really?" I asked in disbelief. "He looks rather annoyed by Sherlock and me, not impressed."

"Well, he is annoyed by Sherlock,  but pretty impressed by you. He only talked about you when I asked him about the case." Greg smirked.

"Awesome." I said completely uninterested. 

"He sounded like he likes you." Greg wiggled his eyebrows .

"Wow, I'm honored!" I said sarcastically. "Listen, if he says something like that again, you ca tell him I said that I don't want anything with him because: 1) we are partners on this case; 2) I couldn't be less interested in romantic relationships especially with him, and 3) he's an annoying stupid prick that thinks he's the smartest person in the world just because he's in charge for this case, but in reality you could put a rock in his place to solve a murder, and it would've done it better!" I listed and Greg laughed.   

"You passed the test. Exactly, you are partners and you can't be in that kind of relationship, and I told him about you not being interested in that kind of stuff too."

"Good." 

"But he wasn't so sure..."

"What?"

"He said something about... you and Sherlock holding hands?" Greg asked wiggling his eyebrows, that stupid smirk appearing on his face again.

"O-oh... that... It was just, okay listen. He just grabbed my hand so he could drag me out of there. We were not holing hands!"

"Yeah, yeah, sure." Greg nodded, but clearly was not convinced.

"I'm telling the truth!"

"Okay, okay!" Greg raised his hands in defence. "But 'Prick' isn't so sure. He said we should forbid Sherlock to go on our cases."
