I do beleive there might be a mistake in this part but I am not
sure..........
I walked out not really caring where I was going. I just needed to think. I walked and walked just quietly cursing myself for what I had done. I didn't look where I was going and suddenly bumped in to someone.
"My dear Miss Gerome you must look where you are going." Mycroft Holmes said to me. As said. on my second day here H had introduced me to his brother at the Diogenes Club. I was supprised that he took me to see his brother but then understood why. H had explained to him who I really was. He had said that Mycroft would understand and so he had.
"Oh I am sorry. I was so busy with my thoughts that I......."
"Have something happend?" He, just as Doc, knew something was wrong by just looking at my face.
"Yes you could say that."
"Why don't we go in and you can tell me about it." He offered me his arm and togheter we went in to his club. Didn't know we were right outside of it.
Once again I found myself seated in the so called, strangers room. At least that's what I think it was called. Anyway, he seated himself in front of me and patently waited as I yet again, told him my story. Yet again, without the intimate deatils.
"I see. I most say I am supprised Sherlock finally subcommed to that kind of pleasure. However, I always knew it would take some special woman to accomplish that."
I smiled a little at his compliment. "Not to mention a weakend mind."
"Ah that. You should not feel bad. I highly doubt Sherlock was that weak since he was able to, well, perform."
I blushed. Rare as it was, I blushed. "Look the fact is I took advantage of him. I should have said no."
"You did not do anything of the sort If Sherlock were here to say something about this I would think he would agree with me and Doctor Watson."
"Indeed I would." A voice came from behind me.
I nearly jumped out of the chair and spun around to see H and Doc. Mycroft got up and walked over to greet them. A few words were exchanged, then Mycroft and Doc made their way out of the room.
"I awoke and you were no where to be found." He said as he seated himself in the chair his brother has recently occupied. "Do sit down." He added softly as he removed his gloves and hat.
I did and just didn't know what to say.
"There is no reason for you to feel that you took advanteged of me because you did nothing of the sort. True I may have not asked what I did if not in that state. At least not so soon. I did however know what I was doing. You probably know well enough of me to know I am not very emotional..." He paused. "At least did not use to be and do not take failure well. If you had rejected me I would have had a good excuse."
"Because had I rejected you, you would have blamed your state."
He smiled. "I would have."
"But I didn't and should have."
He leaned closer to me and took my hands in his. "If so, then I am guilty of the same thing. Now, please beleive me when I say you did nothing wrong. I do not regret what happend between us and hope you don't either." When I didn't say anything he countinued. "You now know of my feelings for you since I know Watson told you about the conversation he and I had about a week ago. From our night togheter I assume you have some sort of feelings for me but will not rush anything. I have honsetly never experienced anything of this sort before and would be lying if I said I did not want to countinue it but it is up to you."
"I...well I...you are right. I do have feelings for you." I wasn't sure of what to say after that and we sat quietly for a moment. He still had my hands in his when I spoke again. "Are you sure about this?"
He nodded. "Very." He then rose up and drew me with him. His hands came to cup my face and he looked at me with such a loving look as he had done the night before. "I will not do anything you do not wish for."
His hands let go of my face but my own hands caught them. I leaned in and gave him a gently kiss on his lips which I felt he returned. It was only meant to be a brief kiss but once again I was lost as the kiss went deeper and I felt his arms around me. My own arms went around him in response. Then we heard a small caugh behind us and let go.
"I see you have resolved the problem?" Mycroft asked.
H looked at me for confirmation. I might have gotten lost but had not yet given him my answer. I placed a hand of mine over his arm. Smiled at him and then turned to Mycroft.. "We have." H returned the smile. I had given him my answer.
About an hour later me and H were once again in the sitting room at Baker Street. Doc was tending to patients of his but not before letting me and H know how happy he was for us. He had even taken me aside and telling me how I had been the first thing H had asked about that morning. I decided to bring this up to him now when we were alone.
"I heard you asked about me this morning?"
He took the pipe out of his mouth and studied me for a moment. "So I had."
"Nice to see that you weren't thinking of other things."
He knew what I meant. "Ah yes, you know I think my bad habit had been replaced by another one. Although I must say a more refreshing habit."
I laughed. "What if I had turned you down?"
"If you are reffering to if that would have driven me to the cocaine I think not."
"I hope not."
We sat in silence again.
Then he spoke. "How would you like to proceed?"
"Oh I don't know. We'll just take things they way they come I guess."
"Sounds sensible. I..." He coughed and cleared his throught as he leaned forward in my direction.. "I would like you to be by my side tonight. Not as last night but I feel....."
He was not used to this I knew so I leaned forward to him. "Just to be close?"
He smiled releived. "Yes. I know it's not customary here but I am, as you have noticed, not like others and you," here he laughed. "most certainly are not. We should make Mrs. Hudson beleive you are still sleeping in your room though."
"I think we can manage."
We did manage. When the time had come to retire I said my goodnight to H and Mrs: Hudson when she was in the room. They both wished me goodnight as I went to my room. I waited for about 30 minutes and then I quietly made my way to H's room. I knocked softly and the door opened.
"What took you so long?" He whispered as I entered and locked the door behind me.
I didn't get a chance to respond before his lips were on mine. Then we parted, he lead me to his bed and we then snuggled closely togheter just being content with that. Soon we both fell asleep.
