I feel like a bad panda. I have neglected you, my lovely reader. I am sorry. I am trying to get better I promise. Now this one goes hand in hand with the new chapter of the dellastreet's story, just to let you know.
Sherlock pondered going straight to Molly's after the horrid day he was having as he walking the streets to clear his head. He needed to talk to someone about his day and John would not be help. So he took the path to Molly's flat.
Sherlock found that John was dating someone new and it was serious this time. John had not even mentioned this Mary Morstan to him and they have been dating for a couple of weeks which is quite long term for the doctor. She had to be important to John, Sherlock thought as he had to know who she was. So he followed her and not calculating that Mary would be intelligent, she figured out that Sherlock was following her and lead him into a lingerie store, which was very uncomfortable.
What made his day worst was not the fact that he had a horrible time in the shop was that Mary was actually suitable for John. Mary was intelligent, beautiful and kind, which means that John would be leaving him for Mary.
Sherlock sighed as he arrived at Molly's flat. He walked up to her door as he knocked once. He heard the patter of her bare feet on the wood floors as the door knob turned and Molly opened the door smiling. Sherlock smiled back at her as her smile made him happy lately, not too sure what that meant.
Molly grabbed his hand and led him to the couch as she felt something was wrong with the detective.
"Something wrong Sherlock?" she asked as they sat down together.
"John has a new girlfriend," Sherlock sighed.
"I thought that would be a good thing? Or is she really stupid?" Molly asked.
"This Martha or Mary or whatever is intelligent, I guess attractive and a caring person," Sherlock frowned.
"She sound great, but apparently you are not happy."
"I am happy that John found a suitable girlfriend, but this also means he will leave the flat and move in with her," Sherlock confessed as Molly squeezed his hand.
"You do not know that, Sherlock," Molly said gently, "It could be a long time before he moves away and if he does, it will not mean your friendship will end."
"We will just have less time together and he will not assist me with cases because he is too busy having children and forgetting me," Sherlock rambled as he started to lose control of his emotions. Molly immediately pulled him into a tight hug. Sherlock wanted to break free at first, but he started to feel safe and comfortable. He relaxed into the hug as he pulled Molly closer to him.
"He is not going to forget you," Molly soothed, "John is your best friend and a girlfriend is not going to change that."
"You are speaking rationally. I don't know why I am feeling this way," Sherlock admitted.
"It is okay to feel this way. It is natural."
"Thank you, Molly. You are invaluable," Sherlock smiled as Molly smiled back at him. For the entire world, Molly wanted to tell Sherlock that she loved him. It was true that she loved him so much, more than she liked to admit, but she knew he was not ready for a declaration of love. Molly swallowed her feelings as she kept a tight hold on him, but Sherlock moved away slightly and took out his phone. Text from John most likely, Molly thought as Sherlock sent a quick text and look to Molly.
"John wants you to meet Mary, well both of us really," Sherlock said, "He said we could meet over dinner."
"Like a double date?" Molly asked as Sherlock frowned.
"No," Sherlock dismissed, "Just an evening out with friends."
"Oh, I see," Molly sighed.
"Well, it might be enjoyable since you will be at my side," Sherlock admitted as Molly blushed.
"Really?" Molly asked as Sherlock leaned close.
"Yes, really," Sherlock whispered as he leaned in and kissed her.
