Making a Plan

"Anyway" he said feeling a little more awkward but keeping his cool in front of her "Getting back to the topic I need your help"

"You need my help?" she cocked up her eyebrow and has a little smile on her face "why?"

"Because I need you to invite Lestrade over and make sure John and Mrs Hudson are in the room at 7 sharp"

"And why can't you do it?"

"Because I'm supposed to be dead, I can't really go up to them and say 'hey can you come to Baker Street at 7 so I can tell you I'm alive'" He said with irritation and a little sarcasm in his tone as he looked into her eyes and saw the slight bit of amusement in them

As they made an arraignment on how he would get into the house and what they would tell Lestrade as to why she was inviting him over, he couldn't help but stare into her eyes like he was in a trance and she the same. Every now and again she could see his gaze lower to her lips and he'd stare at them for a split second before looking back into her eyes. He had a weird feeling in his stomach when he looked at her, it had happened multiple times when he had seen her. He wasn't even paying attention to what she was saying until she finished and one of her eyebrows raised.

"Oh and 2 things, Mr Holmes" she said in a more serious tone but in a soft voice "Why now after everything that's happened in the last year, that clearly you know about, why now reveal yourself?"

"Because I have finally taken down the last of Moriarty's web and I know for sure now that everyone is safe" he stated in a strong voice but he sounded considerate at the same time with an almost sad look in his eyes before putting the mask, that came naturally around other people but not her, on again.

"Ok and now for question two" She walked a little closer, to close for his comfort, and returning to her flirtatious tone "Will you have dinner with me?"

He rubbed his forehead and sighed, he laughed a little "Miss Adler you have known I'm alive for no more than 5 minutes and you're asking to have dinner?"

"I'm Not hearing a no" she smiled at him and stared into his eyes. Noticing he had not moved back from where he was standing. She leaned in a little closer they're lips just an inch apart as they spoke. There hot breath on each other's faces making it a little more tense

"No" he stated with a slight bit of hesitation in his tone and looked away from her stare. She did a slight giggled and walked off to tell Lestrade to meet her and John for dinner. She looked back to see that he was starting to stare at her, she noticed something in his eyes, just for one split second he had let his mask fall slightly showing her that he didn't want her to leave. But he put his mask back on when he noticed she had turned around and saw him. She smiled at this and just kept walking back onto the streets of London like nothing had happened.
