"WATSON!"
That sound, that infuriating sound. He knew that she was busy with her own case, and that she didn't want to be interrupted by him. He promised her that he wouldn't do anything to disrupt her thinking and solving her case. Even worse than that shout from upstairs is the loud banging of him coming down the stairs.
"what do you want Sherlock?" he sensed it straight away, the annoyance in her voice when he came down, if only she knew what he was about to say. She would hate him even more.
"I was thinking about how you said we were cut off from the world so… I got myself a date"he sounded proud when he said that.
Well, she was shocked. She dropped her pen and just stared at him. She was also hurt,and a bit jealous, was she not good enough for him? What was wrong with her? Who was he going with? Was she smarter than her? Was it Jenifer? Did they meet up again and decided to try with a relationship? after a minute or two she spoke.
"umm… great I guess, I-I thought you didn't like meeting people or dates or leaving the Brownstone?"
"well usually I don't but I met this girl and now I really want to spend much more time with her doing random couple things instead of normal every day stuff"
"so you have spent time with her before?" Jen, defiantly Jen.
"yes, quite a lot of time actually"
"when did you do that? you spend most of your time with me."
"it's not really important" he's trying to avoid the question, maybe he is just trying to make me feel jealous.
"is she smart?"
"one of the smartest girls I have ever met" ok, now he's smiling.
Joan turned back to her work, trying to look like she didn't care.
"pretty?"
"beautiful, gorgeous, absolutely stunning" ok, now he's moved closer to her, whats he doing.
"whats she like?" careful, you are starting to sound bitter.
"Watson, do I sense jealousy?" damn, girl you just got caught.
"no, I'm just making sure you don't go out with the wrong person" close, too close.
"well, she likes sports and high heels. She is a very good friend and I don't know how I possibly lived without her"
"sounds like she's nice" sounds like she's bitter and jealous again.
"oh she is, and she can put up with anything, I'm telling you she is the one for me. True love I believe is the phrase"
"true love, how long have you even known her?!" ok, now she is going to blow.
"about a year and a half, maybe two. Time fly's with her" he's smitten, wow, I guess he can be in love again.
"so you met her same time, if not before you met me?"
"yep" ok, not Jennifer or any of her friends. Who then?
"I give up, who is it?"
"I'll give you one more clue" he walks up behind her and places a small red heart pendant around her neck,
"she is wearing a really expensive and pretty necklace I gave her, but it's not nearly as beautiful as her" he whispered in her ear.
Ok, now she feels like an idiot.
