prompt from ImaLateBloomer- fruitcake
Thourouly soaked and ravenously hungry, I stumbled into baker street near knocking Mrs Hudson over in my haste to get inside.
"My apologies Mrs Hudson, I..."
She cut me off. "Doctor, you're soaked to the skin! Go on up and get dry before you catch your death of cold and I'll bring up that fruitcake I promised you earlier."
"That would be wonderful!" I replied looking forward to a nice relaxing evening in my chair by the fire and with my fruitcake.
Mrs Hudson soon brought up the cake and my eyes followed it as it travelled across the room towards me.
I contemplated what part I should eat first and finally after deciding I picked the piece up and brought it closer to my mouth.
It looked so irresistibly delicious and the smell of the fresh bread made my mouth water. I could almost taste its sweet divinity, the succulent fruit so heavenly...
"Watson!"
The door flew open with a bang and I dropped the piece in my hand without even taking one bite.
"Watson, hurry up and come on!"
"Holmes, can't I just finish eating..."
"This is not a time for food or other such nonsense Watson!"
He flung my hat and coat at me and I stood up looking wistfully back at the untouched desert.
"Can't I just have one bite?"
"Watson, do stop complaining!" He said dragging me unwillingly out of the door and away from my beloved my eyes never straying from it until he slammed the door in my face.
"Holmes, I... That was unforgivable!"
"Hm" he wasn't even listening to me!
"How could you do such a thing?!" I cried
"With ease, I assure you"
"That was low Holmes, low! Even for you!"
"Yes, I'm sure it was. Now, will you keep walking and cease your whining! And no, you can't outrun me so don't bother trying."
I sighed in resignation, my plan of escape having failed, and followed.
It seemed that a reunion between the fruitcake and I was destined for another night.
Poor Watson! Will he ever be reunited with his beloved fruitcake?
