Chapter Two - Pesky Feelings.
Sherlock looked at Molly in pure amusment as she bent down to pick up the papers spread out on the floor, she had immediatly turned red and looked flustered at the sudden appreance of the men in her lab.
''Molly, how wonderful to see you'' Sherlock said with a smile as Molly gathered her things and stood again. She still looked shell shocked at the two near strangers in her lab.
''Hi Molly'' John said politely, Molly turned to John and gave him a soft smile, before placing her things on the nearby desk. She turned to Sherlock.
''I havent seen you two in a while, where have you been?'' Molly's heart was pounding in her chest, trying to control her breathing she went about tidying small things up and looking at samples laid out. Sherlock eyed her constantly. Molly knew he was deducing her.
''Lestrade has been giving us more distant cases, so we have been in a variety of hospitals all in which Sherlock has either been warned or kicked out of.'' John looked at his friend who was glaring at John.
''They should have better qualified staff''
''Ok Sherlock'' John went back to reading the magaziene on his desk and Sherlock returned his attention to Molly who had her back to him.
''I need to see two bodies.'' His voice was low but loud in her ear, Molly jumped and spun around, pressing herself against the counter to avoid being so close to him. Sherlock smiled at her reaction.
''W-W-What Bodies do you need?'' Molly scooted away from Sherlock and grabbed her clipboard.
''Jane Gutter and Lucy Fielding, They where both murdered and sexually assulted at the same club two nights ago''
''Oh yes i have not looked at them yet, just in'' Molly pondered off to collect the bodies.
''You have to stop doing that Sherlock'' John said, not looking up from his reading.
''What?'' Sherlock spun round ready to argue with John.
''You make her feel so insignificant when she is around you, sneaking up on her, making her jump, her stuttering, its all down to you. I have seen her away from you and she is fine. You need to stop taking advantage of her.''
Sherlock looked offended
''Dont you dare tell me you where not worried about you giving her access to the bodies, thats why you stood so close to her and practically whispered it, making her feel tiny around you, you flirt with her''
''No i do not'' Sherlock scoffed, but he knew his friend spoke sense, they had always had this relationship though.
''Im just saying'', John said looking up from his magaziene '' You havent been here 5 minuites and your doing it now, just back off a little''
Sherlock contemplated Johns words and was still in deep thought when Molly came out with Body Number 1.
''Is he alright?'' Molly looked over to Sherlock as John walked past him.
''He is fine, just ignore him'' Sherlocks eyes darted to Johns, only meeting them for a split second to see John was being serious. ''Anyway, you look good Molly, how have you been?''
''Really good actually'' she coughed a little diverting the unwanted attention back to the body. ''This is Jane Gutter tests show no drugs but there is alcahol in her system, there is severe buising to the lower adomen and she has a number of chest and facial wounds, a deep cut in her back as well apprently, though i have not looked at that yet. She was 21 years old. Looks like she was beaten to death by hands no wounds indicating to weapons.''
John sighed and shook his head, ''What is the world coming to these days''
He saw Molly looking over at Sherlock and it was clear he was still in deep thought.
''Listen, i dont mean to sound rude but how much longer are you going to be, i am leaving early today as i have plans, i am clocking off at 3 30.'' John looked at his watch.
''God we have already been here two hours. Sherlock wont take long to look at the body then we will be out of your hair, could we come back tomorrow to look at the other one.''
''Yes'' Molly smiled that would be fine.
Sherlock came over to where the other two where standing and silently assessed the body. Looking at every fine detail on the womans face and neck. John frantically making notes as Sherlock blurted out his observations. Molly watched the two work and realised how much she had missed seeing the partnership in action. She suddenly realised it was 3 10.
''Do you mind if i pop off and get ready, then all i have to do is close up when you have finished''. John smiled softly at her, Sherlock just ignored her.
''Yes Molly'' John said, ''Dont let us keep you waiting.'' Molly smiled and scurried off.
It was 3 25 when Sherlock finished looking at the body, John had pages of notes as a result and he watched Sherlock tentivilly close the body bag up once more.
''You not talking to me now?'' John said in a bored tone
''What makes you say that?''
John sighed but didnt answer.
''Where is Molly?''
''She went to get changed, going out tonight i think''
''hmmm''
John eyed Sherlock, feeling protective of Mollies feelings.
''Your not doing it''
''What?''
''Your not convincing Molly to stay late and help you with another body, its not fair on her Sherlock. We have only been in here for a few hours, you cant just expect her to drop her plans for you''
''Why not?''
''Oh for the love of god'' Johns smacked his hand on his forehead and shook his head, this man had no experience in manners and that would clearly never change.
''All done ?'' Mollies voice turned both men to look at her, Sherlock's eyes scanned over her body taking in every fine detail of Mollies perfect apperance. Molly was wearing a beige dress that finished above her knee, it hugged her curves beautifully and looked very professional along with the clear tights/stockings and black high heels. Molly had also refreshed her makeup and was wearing a light red lipstick outlining her face in the most natural way. Her hair was sitting either side of her shoulders and her perfume wafted its way over, smelling of jasmine. She fixed her watch and walked over to them. Looking alot more at ease then when she first saw the two.
''Yes Molly, thanks very much for your time'' John smiled. '' You look lovely, special evening tonight''
Molly blushed. ''Thanks John, yes im going out with someone tonight. Its a special evening''
''Whats the occasion?''
''Well its my birthday and Jacks taking me out for a dinner in my favorite restarant''
''Happy birthday'' John said, pulling Molly into a hug, she laughed and pulled away.
''Serious this time is it?'' Molly's face fell as Sherlock spoke. John noticed the mood change immediatly.
''Yes actually it is.'' Molly made herself look as confident as possible about the topic.
''How long?''
''4 Months next week, we are very happy together''
''Really'' Sherlock looked at molly over and over again, not seeing any shyness in the topic at all. ''Local''
''Yes 10 minuites from me and he works here at Barts.''
''Well im glad you have found someone to make you happy, you deserve it, and im sure you will have a lovely evening'' John smiled, and watched Sherlocks reactions, silently begging he would not upset the poor girl before her treat. ''I hope you have a lovely Birthday''
''Thanks John'' Molly smiled touching his arm fondly as she went to wheel the body away again. Coming out moments later.
''Right'' she said, leading the way out of the lab. After turning off the lights and locking the doors. She turned to the two awkwardly.
''We shall see you tomorrow'' John said happily before walking off in the exit direction.
Molly watched Sherlock walk down the corridor but also witnessed him turn around and come back towards her, bending down and kissing her cheek. ''Happy Birthday Molly''
Molly felt her face turn red and her stomach leap in excitment as she watched him walk off without a care.
''See you tomorrow'' He called as he walked out the doors.
Molly was left dumbfounded.
