Hello my stupendous readers! This story takes place two days after the last chapter and during Chapter 14 of The Adventure of Texting if you want to know. Well that is about it.

Sherlock is bold and Molly is underlined


Do you have time for lunch? -SH

Of course. I thought you had a case?

I did but I finished it earlier than expected. The criminal was a moron and he is bound and gagged at the flat. Lestrade is going to pick him up and I do not have patience to wait for him.

Are you worried that he might escape while you are gone?

No and John will be there soon enough.

Okay. Does John know about us?

He believes that we are still fighting. I have not had the chance to tell him.

Well I am going to finish my work so we can have a longer lunch.

I will be there momentarily.


Sherlock and Molly went to a café not far from Bart's and Molly felt a little awkward. They have not talked since the night they kissed. Sherlock felt the awkwardness, but chose to ignore it and hoped it would go away eventually. As they sat down at the table across from each other and Sherlock took out his phone and started to text. It was nothing new with Sherlock, but for once Molly wanted his attention to be on her. Molly ordered her lunch and Sherlock said he ate yesterday. Molly kept imagining kissing Sherlock like it was a dream, but it actually happened. Daydreams were now reality. They did not talk as Molly had no idea what to say. Talk about the kiss? No that would be weird. Nothing was coming to Molly mind as Sherlock kept texting. Sherlock was enjoying the silence and just being near Molly was enough to satisfy him. Molly was brought her food as she caught a glance as Sherlock's phone which had the text:

Since you were so cross with me about this Molly business, I decided to talk to her during her lunch break. She is not too happy with me.

Molly thought it was strange that he was lying to John about their relationship, but Sherlock always has a reason for everything.

"So what is the real reason you have not told John about us?" Molly asked as Sherlock took his eyes off his phone.

"I did not think it was real relevant to tell him yet. His reaction would be very annoying and I really did not want that while I was solving a case," Sherlock explained as he went back to his phone sending another text.

"You will tell him right?" Molly asked.

"Of course," he said as he sent yet another text and then took Molly's hand across the table, "I think the secrecy is more fun." Sherlock smiled briefly. Molly blushed at the idea of a secret romance that she read in her books. Hidden kisses and everyone thinking that nothing has happened between them was very exciting to Molly. She got up from her chair and went right in front of Sherlock. Sherlock looked up from his phone and Molly placed her hand on his upper arm and leaned in close. Their lips were barely touching as their lips were about to collide, but Sherlock got another text. Sherlock looked down at his phone as Molly stood up straight still wanting their official second kiss which was always the hardest of obtain. Sherlock rolled his eyes at the inconvenient message and opened it. He read it twice, but it was complete jargon.

"I do not understand what John is trying to say," Sherlock said as he handed his mobile to Molly who could not read it as well.

"I have no idea, but I think keeping our relationship secret will be fun for a while. Not too long or John would be very cross with you if he found out about us from someone else," Molly said as Sherlock looked up at her and she got goose bumps.

"I will tell John when it is convenient. Now let's go somewhere with less people."


The only place Molly could think of, was a part of Bart's where no one would go; the lab where Sherlock conducts his experiments. They walked into the room as Sherlock took off his coat and scarf and Molly saw he was wearing his purple shirt, which just made her want him more. Making sure no one would be coming; Molly went right up to Sherlock and wrapped her arms around his body. Sherlock looked down at Molly as he never noticed how this woman could make him forget about almost everything. Molly was about to kiss him but his phone went off. He checked his phone and his eyes widen in shock.

"What is wrong?"

"I have to go," Sherlock said in a panic.

"What happened?"

"John has been kidnapped," Sherlock said not in a panicked voice, but it was cool with a hint of uncertainty.

"Oh my God." Molly said still trying to process what Sherlock said. "Just go and find him. I will call Greg," Molly reassured Sherlock as he let go of her and grabbed his coat and scarf off the table.

"No, I will call Lestrade. I do not know why would call this Greg person," said Sherlock as he left the room without another word.


Oh no! Is John okay? And yes I had to make a Greg joke. Anyways you will know the condition of Doctor John Watson in the next chapter. Dun Dun Dun. Which is actually already posted! I also wrote a narrative in The Adventures in Texting so check it out! Thank you for reading.
