Sharing a Flat with Benedict.

Grocery Shopping & Ben's homecoming Chapter 7

Sable groaned and opened her eyes. Her mind was in a fog from all the beer and her body is stiff from sleeping up right in a chair.

She hears a slight groan and turns to the couch, there lay Nina sleeping on Tom's chest. He had his arm wrapped around her so she wouldnt fall off the couch, he was awake; just barely.

"Morning" Sable said softly as Tom turned his head towards her. "Morning" he said back.

Sable stood and yawned as she made her way to the bathroom for a shower. " I have some cereal in the panrty, just ask Nina she'll know where its at. Ill be right back"

AFTER THE SHOWER:

Sable walked down the steps to see Tom and Nina kissing, which wouldnt be horrible but when he has wondering hands..." Another person has entered the room" Sable said as both of them jumped from one another.  Sable giggled at Tom's flushed face, " Sorry about that, we got carried away" he said as Nina blushed and turned her eyes to Sable, " We ate and washed the dishes we use last night and this morning" she said as Tom chimed in, " We also cleaned up the living room so Ben wont have a fit."

Sable smiled and hugged them both, " Thanks guys, Im heading out to get some last minute things for Ben's lunch, I really hope the market is not to packed. Last time I went, I was run over by an old lady in a electric cart."

Nina busted out laughing, " I remember that, I was on the other side when she was hit, The woman just kept going like Sable was a speed bump." Sable rolled her eyes and looked at the clock on the kitchen wall. Benedict would be home around noon and right now it was 8:45am, the tube would take to damn long, its only for a few things,her eyes looked at Tom. " Toommmmyyyyyyyyy, your my bestest friend in the world, you know that?" he arched an eyebrow at her, " What do you need Shorty?" he chuckled. "I need a lift to the store for a few items and if its not to much trouble, a lift back?"

"Why dont you take Ben's Jag?" He asked as Sable paled. "Thats his baby and I swore I would never drive it, well I swore to my self I wouldnt. Too expensive to drive for me. I know something would happen if I drove it...PLEASSEE Tom!!"

"Okay, okay , lets get what you need and we will drop you off" He said as he walked towards the door with Nina on his arm. "Your a push over" she said chuckling. He smirked and gave her a quick deep kiss. " Only for family and friends dear"

Sable waved good bye to Tom and Nina as he drove away. She walked back into the house and began getting the items she needed for the Chicken Tikka Masala ready.

( The stuff in awesome by the way!! :) )

With the wonderful smell coming from the kitchen, Sable making sure everything was in place for Ben when he got home. A nice warm fire going in the fire place, his favorite scotch set on the built in bar, and and a pint of  Chocolate Gelato in the freezer. She mentally thanked Tom and Nina for cleaning up while she was in the shower.

Those two aside from Jasper and Matt are the best friends a girl could ask for. Now she just needed to wait on Benedict.

Ben's POV:

I hailed a taxi and placed my suitcase in the boot. The cold winter London air whipped around me and al I could do was smile, Good to be back I thought as I climbed into the Taxi and gave him the directions of where to go. "Quick side trip sir if you dont mind?" I asked as he pulled over to the side where a small flower shop was. " Ill make it quick" I said as I rushed inside. I came back with a small bouque of Spider Lillies, her favorite.

Once in side the cab agian I saw the old taxi driver smirk at me. " My wife loves Spider lillies as well" he said. " How long have you been married" I asked. "He chuckled, "32 years next month" he said with pride. "Been saving tips to take her to a nice dinner, times are tough but she stays by my side through thick and thin." I smiled at him as he continued to drive until I see my drive way.

Once he stopped the cab and I had all of my belonging out, I walked to the drivers side and handed him 1500 pounds. " Have a nice dinner on me sir" I said as the poor cabbie looked like he was going to cry. "Sir you dont have too. I dont want to impose..." " Its no trouble at all, think of it as a large tip."

Tha cabbies smiled at me and thanked my once agian. Once he drove off I made my way into my flat.

I was hit with the most wonderfullest scent ever...Sables cooking My belly growled in hunger and my mouth watered. " I'm home" I called out as she came around the corner and hugged me tight. I smiled down at her and gave her a kiss. My tongue traced her lower lip and she parted her lips. A passion filled kisses later, we were sitting down having lunch. The spiderlillies sat in a vase on the table.

She poured us both a glass of red wine and we spoke about anything and everything. She did seemed to be alittle nervouse about something and I placed my hand over hers

"Everything alright dear?" I ask as she flashed me a brilliant smile. " Nothings wrong Ben." I eyed her for a second and took another bite....

I choked on my bite when she spoke agian.

"Ben, I think I am ready for sex...."
