Sharing a Flat with Benedict.

Finding a flat and meeting Ben. Chapter 2.

 Sipping on a hot cup of tea, muching on a scone I read to ads in the paper. I never knew how hard it was hunting for an apartment...Sorry! Flat. All ths pictures I saw in the paper just didnt seem like home to me. I had called Matt the moment I landed in London. He told me that my parents has gone balistic when they found out I was gone but everyone had played dumb saying they had no idea where I went. I laugh in my head as I turn the page and see a small ad saying looking for a Flatmate. Not much else but a phone number. Something made me like this. I know I know! it sounds bad but somthing in my gut told me to check it out. I pulled out my new Iphone 5s and tapped in the phone number.

It rang for a few second and then a deep british voice answered the phone. "Hello?" I saw stunned for a second, the voice could freaking melt chocolate on a cold winters day. "Um, yes hello. My name is Sable and I was reading in the paper that you are looking for a flat mate? is it still avalible?" I said as I drummed my fingers on the table as I waited for him to respond.

" Oh yes! its still avalible" he said as I smiled " How much would my side of the rent and untilities?" I ask as I heard him chuckle, " 650, dose that sound alright to you ma'am?" I thought for a second, I could get a small part time job to keep money going, even with what I have I still want to work, too boring just to sit and do nothing. " Yes that sounds do able and dont call me Ma'am, I'm 24" I said giggling. He chuckled, " So what I'm I suppose to call you then." " By  My name silly, so what is the address? I'd like to see the flat before I make any big decisions"

Two hours later I was standing out side the flat and I just had to gawk at it. That damn place was huge! I re read the number on the address that Ben had told me over the phone. I found the number and knocked on the door. I heard the shuffling off feet and the lock clicking. The door opened and my eyes went wide. Benedict Cumberbatch was staring back at me. Can you say lucky???

" Sable?" he said. All I could do was nod. He opened the door wider for me to enter the flat. I metally shook my self and entered. " Let me give you a tour and then we will see if this is what your looking for" Ben said as I placed my small bag at the door with my guitar. " Here is the kitchen, we can fix it were you have a shelf and I have a shelf"

He showed me the living room and back yard. He started to go up staris to show me the room I found my self staring at his rear end. Nice and firm...OH GOD! Sable snap out of it! I shouted in my head. "And this will be your room" he said as he opened the door. I gasped loudly at the sheer size of the bedroom. Cream colored walls and soft white carpet.

I walk to the bathroom that has a walk in shower and a nice size bath tub. I notice also I have a small walk in closet. "So, what do you think?" Ben asked as I walked back to him with a big smile on my face. I stuck out my hand  to shake his and said, "Its perfect Mr. Cumberbatch!" he smirked at me and grasped my hand. " Just call me Ben, Mr. Cumberbatch is my father." I smiled bigger and nodded. "So, when can you get your belongings here?" he asked.

I chuckled and scratched the back of head, "When I pick them up at a store. I just got here about 6 hours ago." Ben stared at me in shock. " Are you serious?" I giggled and nodded.

Ben POV:

I just stared in awe, she hasnt jumped me like a fan girl would, she is treating me normal. I have to say I'm a bit shocked. " I can show you a few stores where you can pick up some furniture for your room" I say as she turns and smiles at me.

" That would be great Ben!" her smile is infectious! "Let me go and get my coat and we will go. Have you eaten yet?" I asked as she followed me out. " Just a scone really, I got into finding a flat I forgot to eat" she said chucking. " I know a great place for lunch" I said as we make our way to the garage. " I wouldnt want to apose, ill be fine" she said as I walked to my car.  She got in and I stared the car. " No problem at all, feeling a little peckish myself" I said with a grin and pulled out of the garage and onto the street. Something about her makes me feel warm and fuzzy and I have no idea why.

Sable's POV:

He is super nice and very well mannered I thought. I watched things fly by the window. I'm in shock and awe over everything we pass. I'm here! I'm finally able to have my own life and follwing my dream with out any awful people telling me I will never amount to anything. I smile toward Ben who stopped at a light. " So where are you from?" he asked as we waited for the light to turn freen.

" Texas" he chuckled, " Really?! what made you want to come here?" the light changed and he made a left turn. " I have always wanted to live far away from home. My parents are not the greatest people in the world, My dying grandmother left me a large amount of cash with a note saying follow your dreams so here I am. I have my Les paul and I'm going to become a musician."

He pulled into a furniture shop and placed the car in park. " I'm sorry you had a rotten child hood and I'm sorry about the death of your grandmum but I have a feeling you'll do just fine out here. You already have made a friend." I turned to him and smiled. " Thanks Ben!" We exited out of the car and into the store.
