He started laughing like a mad man. "Oh Christ, my agent's gonna love this!" he exclaimed. "I'm so sorry Ben. I didn't think it would snow all night." "Please do not apologise Lily. No one controls the weather and if this gets me a break from being on set, I welcome it. I just have to tell my agent where I am. The man is probably panicking and phoning me non-stop as we speak." "Do you want to borrow my phone?" I asked him. "I have mine. It's just the battery died and I forgot to ask if you had an iphone charger last night."
I left the room and grabbed my charger from my duffle bag. "Here you are" I said as I walked up to him handing him the charger. He grabbed my shoulders and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "You're a life saver Lily. I don't know what I'd do without you right now." "Aw don't mention it" I replied with a shaky voice. "I'll start breakfast. Feel free to chat in my room." "I will. Thank you" he replied as walked towards my room. "You just touched lips" I said to myself. This was becoming the best vacation and I hadnt even been there 24 hours. I grinned like an insane fangirl and started for the kitchen.
The cupboards and fridge were were all stocked with items I had asked for from the caretaker so I decided on French toast and bacon. I was just about finished and wondered where Benedict had gotten to I began to set the table. I turned around abruptly and ran into a wet, naked chest.
I looked up slowly and found Ben smiling at me. I hadn't heard the shower running over the noise of my cooking. "I called my agent and he said they shut down production for a few days. It's impossible to get anywhere with the ungodly amount of snow that fell last night. It's gonna cost them a lot of money but they'd rather not risk anyone's health or safety. Looks like I'm stuck here for a few days. It smells amazing by the way" he said with grin. I looked down and saw he had his pants on. He noticed the blush on my cheeks. "I'm sorry but my shirt got wet and I left it crying in the bathroom." "Oh no complaints from me. I don't mind staring at your glorious chest. I just don't want you to catch a cold or anything." Oh god had I just said "glorious chest" out loud? I had. "I'll have a look in the back closet and see if I can find something that fits you." I said. "I'd appreciate that and thanks for saying I have a glorious chest." he said with a grin. I felt my face grow red.
"Sit down. I know you're probably famished. I hope you like French toast and bacon. If you dont, I can make something else if you'd like." He was already wolfing down the food by the time I finished my sentence. I felt so bad since I had only offered him tea the night before. "Aren't you going to eat too?" he asked. I hadn't even noticed that I had been staring at him the whole time. "Oh yes of course." I replied. "I haven't had French toast and bacon in years. This is delicious." I laughed "Well it's your turn to cook next then. Let's see how good you are in the kitchen Mr. Cumberbatch." I said with a devious smile. "You're on" he replied.
I got up and started grabbing the dishes and cutlery. He stopped me in the process. "Oh please! Let me help. It's the least I can do. He grabbed the apron from the chair, put it on and headed to the sink. I giggled. "I'll dry, how's that?" I said. "Brilliant. I quite enjoy doing chores. I'm hardly ever at home so this is fun." We chatted as he washed and handed me dishes to dry. Out of nowhere I felt water land on my face. "Was that you?" I asked "What? Who me? Oh no, I'm innocent." he said with a cheeky grin. "Oh really?" I said as I put my hand under the tap and threw water his way. He playfully flicked water at me repeatedly. Neither one of us noticed that water was landing on the floor. Not a thought was given till I turned to place the plates in the cupboard and felt my foot slip on a small puddle of water.
Last thing I remember was hearing Ben scream my name.
