Chapter Four- An Overnighter with a Surprise
Molly and Sherlock had now been dating for two years. They were officially a couple. They had just gotten back from a bar. Sherlock and Molly staggered up the stairs of 221B. They started giggling and collapsed on Sherlock's bed holding hands. All of the sudden Sherlock asked "Will you maaaaaarrry meee?" "You're drunk!" replied Molly, "how will you even remember asking me?"
"NOOO! Really! Will you marry me?"
"When you're not drunk!"
"So, in the morning?"
Molly laughed and kissed Sherlock on the cheek. They were both very tired. Molly put her head down on Sherlock's chest. "Well," Molly began "I should get going now before I pass out."
"No! Just stay here, if you don't want to sleep with me and my breath, there's a second bedroom that was John's."
"I'm happy to sleep with you!" laughed Molly "I don't have any pajamas though!"
"Borrow mine, after all, we are girlfriend, boyfriend now aren't we?"
"Okay! I'll shower first."
"I'll be waiting!"
Molly locked the door of the bathroom. What would this night lead to?
Molly arrived in the bedroom wearing Sherlock's shirt that drooped in its size and some checkered pants. Her wet hair was soaking the shirt. She climbed into bed next to Sherlock. What were his plans?
"So, what are we doing tonight?" asked Molly
"Sleeping." He kissed Molly, turned around, and went to sleep. Molly didn't know if this is what she wanted or not. Maybe she wanted moreā¦.Or maybe she was happy that nothing happened.
At 8:00 in the morning Sherlock got out of bed and went to a jeweler's. "I need a wedding ring in one hour." He told the clerk. "Sure, are you looking for anything in particular?"
"A ring"
"Yes, I know that, but what type of ring?"
"A wedding ring!"
The clerk could see this was going nowhere so he brought out a very expensive ring with a huge diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds.
"The diamond in the center is too big and heavy, a smaller one please."
The clerk returned with the perfect ring. Sherlock paid the money and ran back to his flat. He jumped back in bed and Molly woke up. "Mornin' Sherlock, you look happy!" said groggy Molly. "So, I'm not drunk anymore and I still will ask you the same question. I know that this is one year to early based on the answer to my question on our first date" He got on one knee and Molly looked a little confused and delighted. "Will you marry me?"
