This is my first fanfic so please tell me if it's good so far or not! Thanks for reading!
So I had been working so hard the past few months at my translating job and definitely deserved a nice vacation. I had three options: Norway, Switzerland and the Netherlands. I picked Switzerland since I had always been fascinated with that country. I reserved myself a small cosy cottage tucked away in a small town there for a week.
The night before I was so excited and had to calm myself down! All packed and ready, I headed to the airport. 8 hours and 17 minutes sitting in a plane made my ass numb but I was finally there! I walked out of the terminal and saw a driver with my name on a sign and walked over to him. We exchanged hellos and headed to his taxi. He was a sweet old man so we began to chat about the country and his life. He suddenly asked me if I knew who Benedict Cumberbatch was. I replied "of course" and told him I was a huge fan of his films and shows. He then told me that Benedict was currently filming in Switzerland! I was in the same country as Benedict Cumberbatch! I hid my excitement and told my inner fan girl to calm down as I told him "what a wonderful coincidence".
20 minutes later, we arrived to the town of Zermatt. All snowy and quaint, I fell in love immediately. He told me my cottage was bit furthur outside the town. Needless to say he exaggerated a bit. The cottage was quite a ways from the town but I had no complaints as we rode up. Tucked away and surrounded by a snow covered stone wall and evergreens, this was my home for a week! I grabbed my bags and thanked him as he drove off.
You can imagine how wonderful the inside was. Fireplace and stove, big king sized bed all for me. Beyond exhausted I started a fire as best I could and made a pot of tea to warm my insides bit. I took out a Sherlock comic book I had bought along with me and started reading.
I awoke to the sound of knocking. I had fallen asleep on the sofa for an hour and a half. I got up quickly almost tripping over the rug. Who in the world would be at my door? It was 11pm at night in Switzerland for christ's sake! Plus I was practically in the middle of nowhere! A little scared, I inched closer to the door and of course silly me thinking there was a peephole when there wasn't! More rapid knocks on the door! I stood up straight, breathed in and out and unlocked the door.
I slowly opened the door. I saw an tall man covered in snow and I couldn't make out his face since the door light was very dim. Boldly I opened the door wider. The figure then stepped into the light, removed his toque and to my utter surprise, it was non other than Benedict Cumberbatch!
