This is a little introduction to the main story where Molly and John talk about Sherlock Holmes and have a bit of fun while they are at it ;) You will be meeting Sherlock in chapter 2 ;)
(Thu 15:15)
You won't believe the news that I have just received- MH
(Thu 23:46)
What? –JW
(Fri 9:02)
Justgot letter from school about new exchange program –MH
(Fri 10:34)
Ah, good news then? :) –JW
(Fri 13: 16)
Yes! Getting a French exchange student called Sherlock Holmes –MH
(Fri 13: 20)
Sherlock Holmes? -JW
(Fri 13:21)
Posh name if I've ever heard one. -JW
(Fri 13:23)
Yeah he used to live in England apparently but moved over to france when he was 4 and been there ever since. Speaks fluent French, Russian, Farsi, English, Greek, Spanish and Italian. -MH
(Fri 13:24)
His name on the form is William but he prefers to be called Sherlock -MH
(Fri 13:27)
Christ... so it's not just the name that's a mouthful -JW
(Fri 13:28)
He's written to you then? -JW
(Fri 13:30)
HAHA. Yes, there was a letter from him that came with the letter from school. I need you to help me reply to him.- MH
(Fri 16:55)
Me? Really, Molls? -JW
(Fri 20:13)
Yeah. U know about the male kind better than I do ;) -MH
(Fri 23:19)
True, but he sounds... we probably wouldn't have much more in common than you do him -JW
(Fri 23:20)
I guess I could lend a hand, though. Seems interesting enough- JW
(Sat 10:29)
Nah. Remember opposites attract ;) –MH
(Sun 02:44)
... are you trying to matchmake me now?- JW
(Sun 11:34)
Yes, I need to find you someone before the end of school. Thanks really need the help. He will be arriving at Heathrow on the 29th can u give me a lift to the airport? -MH
(Sun 11: 36)
Sure, I can make it and stop trying to get me a girlfriend/boyfriend. I don't need one. Plus you don't need to be wasting your time over the next year and a bit finding me a lover. -JW
(Sun 11:37)
Thanks :) and it wouldn't be a waste of time. -MH
(Sun 11:39)
Appreciate it, Molls. But what makes you think your swotty exchange student from France would like me?- JW
(Sun 11:40)
Bit of a stretch, even you have to admit.- JW
(Sun 11:43)
Well I am bored. I need something to do and you haven't had a girlfriend or boyfriend for ages now. Thought u could do with a little bit of help ;) -MH
(Sun 11:45)
So I'm literally your side project? -JW
(Mon 7:02)
Yes. -MH
(Mon 11:14)
Don't need help, Mol -JW
(Mon 11:15)
Feeling really valued as a friend right now.- JW
(Mon 12:00)
Good. -MH
[a few weeks later]
(Wed 13:56)
Fancy meeting up later? -MH
(Wed 14:00)
We could go to a club? -MH
(Wed 14:34)
Sure- JW
(Wed 14:50)
One that isn't too loud -MH
(Wed 15:00)
And you'll show me the recent letters from Sherlock Holmes? Sure -JW
(Wed 15:04)
Yeah, course -MH
(Wed 15:05)
He seems a little bit... unusual though -MH
(Wed 15:17)
And this is the guy you've chose for me? Truly flattered ;) And you do realise that all clubs are loud. That's the main reason that they exist -JW
(Wed 15:18)
Yes... well... u know I don't like a sensory overload. Well u like everyone... despite their weirdness -MH
(Wed 15:20)
I know. Doesnt have to be a club. You think too highly of me, Molls. Taking it as a compliment.- JW
(Wed 15:22)
But u like going to clubs -MH
(Wed 15:23)
Good because that is exactly how it was meant to be received -MH
(Wed 15:24)
I could do with a quiet night in from time to time. -JW
(Wed 15:24)
: ) -JW
(Wed 15:27)
Film round mine, then? U can stay the night? Pick up posh boy from the airport in the morning? -MH
(Wed 15:28)
Sure. Get the new Hobbit film, won't you? Been dying to see it for ages. -JW
(Wed 15:30)
Yes anything for u, Watson -MH
(Wed 15:31)
That's my girl ;) -JW
(Wed 15:32)
What time do you want me round?- JW
(Wed 15: 34)
6 ok? -MH
(Wed 15:36)
6 is good. - JW
(Wed 15:39)
Could provide the popcorn? - JW
(Wed 15:41)
U like to spoil me, don't u ;) - MH
(Wed 15:45)
Makes this Sherlock your competition then, doesn't it? -JW
(Wed 15:46)
Watch yourself, Hooper :P - JW
(Wed 16:25)
;) Get ur arse round here ASAP then so that I can eat all that yummy popcorn that you have bought for me. -MH
(Wed 16:29)
Oi! You're supposed to leave some for me, u know? ;) -JW
(Wed 16:33)
Any chance there's a free meal involved? ;) - JW
(Wed 16:33)
Well u wanna look good for posh French boy ;) -MH
(Wed 16:35)
Only if ur good. -MH
(Wed 16:37)
U know me. Always good. -JW
(Wed 16:38)
What's the point? I will be overshadowed by the brilliance that is Molly Hooper :) French boy won't even give me a second glance. - JW
(Wed 16:39)
Yeah. When you're not hogging the duvet. - MH
(Wed 16:40)
That's not my fault. The duvet just creeps up to me. It likes me. -JW
(Wed 16:43)
Nah... as much as I would like a romantic adventure don't think this guy is for me (unless he looks like a Greek god or an Abercrombie and Fitch model.) Yeah right like all the girls that follow u around school ;) -MH
(Wed 16:44)
The duvet is welcome. They aren't. Not really - JW
(Wed 16:45)
Haven't you got a pic yet? -JW
(Wed 16:47)
Nope says he doesn't do photos cus they are a waste of his time? -MH
(Wed 16:49)
Shame. But you never know, do you Molls? -JW
(Wed 16:50)
This could be your romantic escapade. - JW
(Wed 16:51)
Yeah... maybe... if ur not interested I might be incline to try and flirt with him ;) -MH
(Wed 16:53)
I'm not... at least I don't think so. You know I've been questioning it. Just hoping for the right girl, I suppose. - JW
(Wed 16:54)
Don't wanna get my hopes up thou. Not after Jimmy -MH
(Wed 16:54)
Yeah she might come along (hopefully before I turn 90) -MH
(Wed 16:55)
Jimmy was a dick... Sherlock sounds... -JW
(Wed 16:55)
Better? - JW
(Wed 16:57)
And how have u been making sure that u aren't gay? You haven't said much about it since the whole Harry situation happened. -MH
(Wed 16:57)
Yeah well I don't have a good track record when it comes to guys -MH
(Wed 16:59)
Shut up -JW
(Wed 17:00)
;) -MH
(Wed 17:04)
I dunno... I think u just know, u know? For now, that is what it will stay... you're the one trying to push French exchange students on my lap -JW
(Wed 17:05)
Mmmm so u want him on ur lap? ;) -MH
(Wed 17:07)
Retracting my offer of popcorn. -JW
(Wed 17:08)
I'll just eat it all myself - JW
(Wed 17:10)
Well if it's that toffee crap then I really don't mind missing out -MH
(Wed 17:11)
:( I like toffee... -JW
(Wed 17:13)
Well I don't -MH
(Wed 17:15)
You have deeply wounded me, Molls. -JW
(Wed 17:15)
Shall never recover. -JW
(Wed 17:15)
On the verge of dying. - JW
(Wed 17:17)
Such ashame... I had bought you a really nice birthday present for you. I will have to give it to Sherlock now as a welcome to England gift because my best friend has gone and died on me -MH
(Wed 17:18)
You stabbed me with a dagger to the heart -JW
(Wed 17:19)
Toffee flavored dagger -JW
(Wed 17:20)
I think I prefer the posh-french-boy-on-your-lap dagger. At least then it would be a happy ending -MH
(Wed 17:22)
Dream on, girl. - JW
(Wed 17:22)
... isnt he english? -JW
(Wed 17:23)
Well he's a french citizen -MH
(Wed 17:25)
If I can get u two together then I will have not only one gay best friend but two. its like a dream come true -MH
(Wed 17:26)
I know what your secret side project is now... Creating an army of gay best friends. - JW
(Wed 17:26)
Keep dreaming, Molls. - JW
(Wed 17:30)
Yeah... I could have a reality TV show, the title being "creating an army of gay best friends" -MH
(Wed 17: 32)
When u take over the world, that is -JW
(Wed 17:33)
I could also write a book and call it "how I created an army of gay best friends" -MH
(Wed 17:34)
Helping mental women all over the world... I can picture your legacy now... - JW
(Wed 17:35)
U would be world famous, U and Sherlock that is ;) -MH
(Wed 17: 35)
We haven't even met the guy yet -JW
(Wed 17:37)
It could be three weeks of rain, sex and post coital bliss for you. -MH
(Wed 17:38)
You mean rain, minus the sex, minus the post coital bliss. - JW
(Wed 17:39)
;) -MH
(Wed 17:40)
I'm not going to jump on his bones as soon as he gets off the plane. - JW
(Wed 17:42)
How do u know that? Turned into a psychic over night? -MH
(Wed 17:43)
Think that would more apply to you - JW
(Wed 17:43)
Hope u wouldn't jump on his bones. That would be painful :p -MH
(Wed 17:50)
Eyes rolling so hard now I think they may be stuck behind my sockets. -JW
(Wed 17:51)
Turn me blind, wont you - JW
(Wed 18:02)
Anyway, I'm almost at the door. - JW
(Wed 18:05)
Good. Hurry up and get ur arse in here -MH
(Wed 18:07)
Eager for some toffee now aren't you -JW
(Wed 18:08)
Do you regret your words then -JW
(Wed 18:10)
Nope. I only need you so that u can help me with my homework later and drive me to the airport in the morning -MH
(Wed 18:11)
Ouch!- JW
(Wed 18:14)
Is that why you won't ANSWER YOUR DOORBELL? -JW
(Wed 18:14)
Nope. Upstairs in my room. It takes a long time to get down all the bloody stairs- MH
(Wed 18:14)
It's cold out for a mortally wounded man - JW
(Wed 18:14)
The toffee won't make it through the night -JW
(Wed 18:15)
Stop harassing me. I only have short legs- MH
(Wed 18:15)
I won't have legs anymore if you don't hurry -JW
(Wed 18:15)

(Wed 18:19)

(Wed 18:19)

"Can u please stop texting me or I will actually kill you by drowning you in a pool filled with toffee popcorn" Molly shouted as she opened the door to her (gay) best mate.
I have to give a big thanks you to my co-author and beta who I met on Omegle and has been an absolute dream to work with! (You know who you are ;))
