INT. BEDROOM - MORNING
"6AM" as the alarm goes off again.
As usual, he got out of bed, got his suit from the wardrobe and went into the bathroom.
When he got out of the bathroom, he found Charlotte brushing her hair while waiting to use the bathroom.
BENEDICT
You do know that it's not necessary for you to wake up this early right?
Charlotte answers while walking into the bathroom with the outfit she has picked for today.
CHARLOTTE
I've had enough sleep and I'm really hungry right now since I didn't eat much last night.... Couldn't continue sleeping on an empty stomach.
Charlotte got out of the bathroom shortly after she's done with her makeup.
She walk down the stairs and head straight to the kitchen.
Benedict is in the living room, checking if he's got everything he need for today's class when he says,
BENEDICT
(Without looking up from his folders)
I don't know what you need so I had just picked up some eggs, beans, sausages and milk on my way back home yesterday. We can go grocery shopping tonight, if you need something else.
CHARLOTTE
(soft singing)
"Well, I will call you darlin' and everything will be okay
'Cause you know that I am yours and you are mine
Doesn't matter anyway
In the night, we'll take a walk, it's nothing funny
Just to~ talk"
BENEDICT
Is she....singing??
Charlotte?
Benedict walks to the kitchen and finds Charlotte singing with her earphones in while beating the eggs.
Her back is facing Benedict so she is not aware that he's watching her.
CHARLOTTE
"Put your hand in mine
You know that I want to be with you all the time
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
Until I make you mine"
Benedict watch in amusement.
It's safe to say he's pleased with what he sees judging from the smile on his face.
He continued to watch her without comment.
CHARLOTTE
"You need to know
We'll take it slow
I miss you so
We'll take it slow
It's hard to feel you slipping
Through my fingers are so numb
And how was I supposed to know
That you were not the one?"
After she's done with beating the eggs, she turned to get some flour and sugar, only to find out Benedict has been standing by the kitchen entrance watching her.
Charlotte's face is blushing as red as a tomato.
The blush on her face is developing into burning flames.
CHARLOTTE
(Quickly removes her earphones)
How long has he been standing over there?? Did he hear me sing?? I was really soft though, was I?
(She stutters as she speaks)
H-hey.... I thought you left.... I-um... Just making.. um... pancakes....
(She set forth the bowl of mixture)
BENEDICT
(Trying to hold his laugh in)
I was just telling you about the things I bought on my way back yesterday. I see you found them. If you need anything else I can drive you over to Sainsbury's tonight.
CHARLOTTE
(Still embarrassed)
Y-yeah... That would be great!
Are you in a hurry? I'm almost done with the batter...
T-that is if you want to stay for breakfast....
BENEDICT
I'd love to but I think Rachel has already gotten me my breakfast.
Charlotte is a little disappointed again but she'll get used to it.
Just when she's about to continue with her batter,
Benedict turn his back on Charlotte and walks towards the front door when he says,
BENEDICT
(Speaking from the front door)
Maybe I'll join you tomorrow.
I'll have to inform Rachel later.
This answer definitely brightens up her day.
