"Olivia?" I asked, confused. I heard Benedict turn around on his heel, trying to be discreet. He obviously doesn't want her to know he's here. But why?

"Hello dear. I don't believe we've met. I'm Olivia Poulet, your boyfriend's ex." Olivia said being a bit too nonchalant.

"Yeah I know who are you. What are you doing here?" I asked, trying my best at keeping my cool. I was scared. How did she know where I lived? Why is she here? All these questions are running through my mind, increasing my level of confusion.

"I can to see you. We need to have a little chat." Olivia said looking behind me to see if anyone was with me. Luckily she adding see Benedict. "Are you alone?"

"Yes." I said, making a hand gesture behinds the door, telling him to hide. "Come in. I apologize for being so underdressed. I was taking a little nap." I said inviting her in. Olivia walked in with a sly smile on her face, one of which made me even more scared. "Take a seat, make yourself at home. Sorry for the mess. Benedict was here, and well, things got a bit steamy, if you catch my drift." I said with an innocent smile on my face. She knew exactly what I meant.

"No problem. I can see you are happy with Benedict. Is the story of you being a fan true?" Olivia asked taking her seat on my couch.

"400% of it. This all still comes as a surprise to me. He makes me so happy." I said smiling as I walked to the kitchen. The kettle started singing, so it gave me some time to talk to Benedict. I bent down, under the kitchen table to find Benedict crouched under, listening attentively.

"Hey, is everything okay?" He asked looking worried.

"Yeah, everything is fine. She's scary, though." I said, getting up to check on her. "She's sitting on the couch. How does she know where I live?"

"She has her people. Go talk to her. Don't be scared, I'm going to be right here listening." Benedict whispered to me giving me a kiss on the cheek, as he gestured me to turn off the kettle. I walked over to Olivia.

"Tea?" I asked.

"Sure. No milk, 2 sugars please." Olivia said as she looked through her phone, not even looking up at me. Rude. I walked over to the kitchen again and I prepared her cup of tea, alongside with one for me. Hmm... Maybe Benedict wants some.

"Ben, would you like some tea?" I whispered, trying to be as quiet as possible, but loud enough for him to hear me.

"Yes please. Milk, and no sugar." he whispered. I started to prepare his cup, and I handed it to him under the table.

"Are you okay under there?" I asked. He did seem a bit uncomfortable.

"Yeah I'm fine. Don't keep her waiting." Benedict warned me. I picked up my cup and Olivia's cup and I walked back to the living area. Olivia was still on her phone.

"Here you go. No milk, 2 sugars." I said nicely.

"Thank you dear. Did you see this?" Olivia said showing me the article of her and Benedict kissing on her phone.

"Yeah I did. Wow. Paparazzi these days. They do anything to get some kind of story." I said.

"That's true. Did you talk to him about this? I'm sure you're not okay with it." Olivia said innocently. I know what she's doing.

"I am. Because I was there. He didn't kiss you. The camera is in an angle that only looks like it." I said innocently. She knows I know what shes doing.

"Really? I didn't see you." Olivia said, looking a bit nervous.

"Yes I was. I was with Martin and Amanda, I'm not sure you know them." I said slyly.

"Of course I know them. I met them before you. I've known them longer." Olivia said. Oh, she's upset now.

"Whatever floats your boat, dear." I said, purposely mocking her. "Now, why are you really here?"

"Well, I'm sure Benedict told you what happened between us. I'm just here to tell you not to get your hopes up. I'm getting him back. I know he still loves me. Everyone does. I'm back, bitch." Olivia said with a sly smile on her face.

"HA! Good luck with that. He moved on, babe. You're just that gold digger that broke his heart, and ran away when he needed you most. Sorry to take your place but, I'm here to stay." I said sitting down on the couch across from her. I liked sassy Salma.

"I understand I made some mistakes. But I want to fix them. I just came by to warn you." Olivia said standing up.

"Thanks for the warning, but I'm not too worried."

"You should be. He's going to kick you on the curb when I tell him."

"Wow, I'm so scared." I said sarcastically. I took a sip of my tea. "What makes you think he wants you back?"

"I can feel it. Then again, I have been with him for 11 years. I am the one that deflowered him." Olivia said laughing. "Oops! I don't think I should have told you that."

"Sorry to burst your bubble honey, but I already knew, and I know a lot more than you think I do, about you and him. Hello? Professional fan girl here!" I said, narrowing my eyes at her.

"That's funny, because no one knows that." Olivia said nervously.

"Yeah well, I do. I know EVERYTHING. I'm everywhere. Its the benefits of being a crazed fan girl. But not only am I a crazed fan girl, I'm a crazed fan girl WHO TOOK. YOUR. BOYFRIEND. Now get the fuck out of my flat." I said, taking the cup of tea out of her hand, as I pushed her towards the door. She stopped and turned around to look around to look at me.

"You're going to regret this." she said.

"Wow I'm so scared. Get out of my face." I said as I opened the door and pushed her out, slamming in it her face. I opened the door again because I had something to say. "By the way, I fucked your boyfriend senseless right before you got here. Just thought you needed to know." I said as I slammed the door in her face again. I was furious, more even. She had the nerve to come to my flat, and tell me she's going to try to take my boyfriend? I don't think so.

"Woah! What was that?" Benedict said coming out from under the table.

"She got me mad! No one takes my boyfriend." I said as I started to clean the house.

"I like feeling protected." Benedict said walking over and hugging me from behind. "This is one of the reasons why I love you. A crazed fan girl you say?"

"Oh yeah. I'm real crazy. But did she really "deflower" you?" I asked turning around to face him.

"Yes, she did." Benedict said, looking quite embarrassed.

"Hey! You don't have to be embarrassed! I've always wondered who the lucky girl was." I said caressing his cheek.

"Is that so?" Benedict asked with a half smile on his face.

"Mhmm." I said giggling as I kiss him softly, then turned around to finish cleaning. "Aren't you going to get in trouble for missing that interview?"

"Who cares? I've had a lot more fun here than I would have had there. I should call my manager." Benedict said looking for his phone.

"You should, and I should clean up this mess before Lily gets here. She'll have a fit when she sees this. She's a lot like Mycroft, OCD and she doesn't even notice." I said picking up everything from off the floor.

"I noticed. It's funny, isn't it?" Benedict said once he found his phone.

"Yeah, but she is a really good person. I don't know what I'd do without her." I said as I walked back to the kitchen and threw everything in the garbage. "She is a wonderful person. The best friend I've ever had."

"That's sweet." Benedict said before he started talking on the phone. I finished cleaning and I jumped onto the couch, marveling on past events. Everything is happening so quickly. I don't know if I can keep up. I don't know what happened back there with Olivia, and I don't think I'm ready for anything else. Maybe I should talk to Benedict. No, there's no need. I like everything that's happening. I've always dreamed for my life to be a bit interesting, and now it is. Don't ruin it for yourself, Salma.

"Anyway, I should go. I'm in a lot of trouble." Benedict said as he strut his way to his trousers, putting his clothes on.

"Ooo, I like bad boys." I said handing up his shirt.

"Hmm, I'm sure you do." He said putting his shirt on. "Can I have my sweater back?"

"No. If you want it, you're just going to have to peel it off me." I said sitting up, watching his eyes darken with lust as he walked slowly over to me. He laid me down onto the couch, playing at the hem of the sweater, riding it up slowly as he caressed my naked body on the way up. He kissed me softly, leaving sweet, delicious little kisses down my neck, causing me to moan in delight. His hands arrived at my breasts, slowly kneading at my hard nipples. I put my arms up, making it easier for him to take off the sweater as I moaned with pleasure. He slid his tongue on the skin of my collarbones, causing a sweet chill go down my back. Once the sweater came off, he stopped the sweet pleasure, leaving me longing for him.

"Sorry, baby. As much as I want to stay, I really have to go." Benedict said leaving a soft, lingering kiss on my lips.

"Stay." I said in protest.

"I really can't. I'll text you." He said putting on his shoes. I walked up to the door, knowing I'm still completely naked, as I opened the door for him. "I know what you're doing, and it's working, but I really, really do have to go."

"Hmm, you're smart. It's okay. I have some things I need to do here anyway." I said walking up to him, putting my arms around his neck, giving him a kiss.

"I love you." Benedict said when I broke the kiss.

"I love you." I responded. I took my arms away and he walked downstairs, and out the door to the apartment. I closed the door and I walked into my room. I put on an over-sized shirt. I was completely spent. It was 9 PM, and I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. I went under my covers, and I fell into a deep slumber.

The next morning, I was awoken by Lily, as she came into my room, bringing me a cup of tea.

"Good morning sleepyhead!" Lily said handing me the cup.

"Hey. Where were you last night?" I asked after I took a sip of tea.

"I slept over Tom's house. We had lots of fun, if you know what I mean." Lily said winking.

"Well, you aren't the only the one who had an eventful night." I said sitting upright on my bed. Lily took a seat next to me.

"I'm sure you did. How did it go with Benedict?" Lily asked. I could tell she was genuinely worried about me.

"It was okay. He explained himself. The picture was taken from a weird angle, so that's what it looked like." I said.

"Oh that's good. I didn't want to have to start hating him. What else happened?" Lily asked smiling.

"We have some really good sex, everywhere. We had Chinese, Olivia came over, Benedict hid under a table, and he left." I said nonchalantly.

"WHAT?" Lily said with excitement in her voice. "Olivia came over? How does she know where you live?"

"I have no idea." I said after taking another sip of tea. It's very soothing.

"And Benedict hid under a table?" Lily said looking confused.

"Yep. He was listening to our conversation. He didn't want her to know he's here." I said.

"What did you guys talk about?" She asked, looking very interested.

"Well, she came by to tell me that she wanted to take Benedict back, and I cursed her out and slammed the door in her face. Twice." I said, with a hint of a smile on my face.

"Woah. Tell me what you said." Lily said with a toothy grin. She was really interested.

"Well, she told me she wanted him back, and that she would do anything for him, and I told her to stop trying because it's not going to happen. She said that I should watch my back, and I told her to watch hers, because I am a crazed fan girl who took her boyfriend and I kicked her out. I slammed the door the first time, and then I opened it again to let her know I fucked her boyfriend before she got here. You should have seen the look on her face!" I said proudly. Lily's jaw dropped to the floor.

"Well then, Ms. Avery. Remind me not to mess with you. I'm sure she was pissed. How's the sex with Benedict?" Lily said, trying to pull details out of me.

"Ooooh, it's magical. He really knows his way around a woman's body." I said with assurance. Remembering the sweet, delicious feeling of sex with Benedict made me giggle.

"Look at you! You're blushing! You're really head over heels for him, girl!" Lily said hugging me.

"What about you? How's your boy toy down there?" I said laughing.

"UGH DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED! He's great, he's more than great, I have never had anyone better than Tom Hiddleston. I've written fan fiction about having sex with him, and trust me, it's better than what goes on in my fanfic." Lily said laying down on my bed. "That man, really knows how to move."

"I'm glad to here that. What time is it?" I asked putting my cup on the bedside table while I got up off my bed and walked to the bathroom.

"It's 8:30. You want me to make me some breakfast?" Lily asked from across the room.

"Yes please! I'm going to shower, and I'll be out to help." I responded as I started to undress myself. I turned on the water, and i stepped into the shower, letting the hot water cascade on me, immediately relaxing me. I quickly washed my hair, and shaved my legs and underarms, and I walked out, put on some jeans and a doctor who t-shirt, and I walked out of my room, and into the kitchen. Lily was by the stove cooking some bacon. I got ready on the eggs, and I started to make an omelet for the both of us. I was just about to start cooking the eggs when the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, there was a tall, muscular man. He looked kind of scary.

"Are you Salma Avery?" The man asked.

"Yes, I am. How can I help you?" I responded nicely.

"Hello, my name is John Williams. I'm Mr. Cumberbatch's bodyguard. He sent me here with a package for you." The man said handing me a long box with floral wrapping paper.

"Oh! Erm, thank you. Would you like to come in for some breakfast?" I asked nicely as I took the box from the man's hand.

"Oh, no, thank you. I must get back to work, ma'am." The man said.

"Okay then. Thank you very much for coming." I said smiling to Benedict's bodyguard.

"My pleasure, Ms. Avery. Have a good day." He said nodding his head goodbye.

"Same to you Mr. Williams." I said as I closed the door. Benedict sent me a package. What could it be?

"Who was that?" Lily asked from the kitchen.

"Ben's bodyguard, he came to give me a package Benedict sent me." I said walking into the kitchen.

"Open it then!" Lily said with excitement in her voice. She seemed to be more excited than I was about this mysterious package. I unwrapped the box, and I opened it to find a dozen white roses with a gold necklace wrapped around it. There's a card. I took out the card and opened it. It was written in beautiful calligraphy. I read it aloud.

Dear Salma,
This is a present from being there for me through my hard times.
I know we haven't known each other long, but you make me a happy man.
The stone on this necklace is a sapphire, a beautiful, and rare stone.
This necklace is perfect for a beautiful woman, who deserves it more than anyone.
I love you.
Ben xx

I picked up the flowers, and took the necklace off of them with care. The necklace was beautiful. The stone on the charm was a beautiful deep blue encased in gold.

"Wow." Lily said with a gaping mouth as she examined the necklace. "This is a beautiful necklace. You are one lucky girl."

"It is." I said, mesmerized by the beauty of it. I quickly snapped to my senses. "I can't accept this. It's too expensive. You know how he is with money, Lily."

Lily pouted and turned back to the bacon. I heard my phone ring under all the sizzling and I went into my room to see who it is. It's Benedict.

"Hi." I said when I answered.

"Good morning. Did you get the package?" Benedict asked anxiously.

"I did. The necklace is beautiful, but I can't accept it. I know how you are with money, and I want you to know that you don't have to spend money on me." I said as I sat on my bed.

"Yes you can. It's a present. It is true that I am strict with money, but once in a while I can treat myself and other people to some things. Especially with the fact that this year is going really well for me, I do have money on the side to spend, and I wanted to spend it on you. Because you deserve it. Please accept it." Benedict said over the phone.

I sighed. "Fine. Thank you, Benedict. It is absolutely gorgeous."

"Just like you, my dear. I picked a sapphire because it is your birthstone. You are more than welcome. Come over for lunch?" Benedict asked sweetly.

"That's interesting, because Sapphire is also my favorite stone. I'd love to come from lunch. What time?" I asked nicely.

"Does 1 o'clock sound good?"

"Yes. Thank you again. I love you, Benedict." I said.

"And I you. You are welcome, baby. See you at one." Benedict said before I hung up.

I went back into the kitchen and I put on the necklace.

"How does it look?" I asked Lily.

"You look beautiful. Who was at the phone?" Lily asked smiling. I put the omelet in the pan, and I let it cook.

"Who do you think? He was making sure the present got here." I said sitting on the kitchen counter.

"That's nice of him." Lily said as she put the bacon on a plate. We ate breakfast in silence, and we put on the TV to watch Doctor Who. Lily was flipping through channels when we noticed Sherlock was on ITV. Ironic, isn't it? Lily and I watched The Name of The Doctor together, and we were both in tears by the end. I got on my computer, and I decided to go on Tumblr for a bit. My dashboard is filled with the beauty that makes Benedict Cumberbatch, and with thing of Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Merlin, and more fandom posts. I scrolled through my dash when I noticed a picture of something Ben said.

Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.

The quote made me laugh, and I decided to send the picture in a text. The text read;

Hmm... interesting. I'll keep this in mind.

I attached the picture and pressed send. I continued scrolling through Tumblr, and I watched a couple YouTube videos to pass the time. When I checked the clock, it was 12:30, and Lily fell asleep on the couch. I got up to start getting ready. I walked to my room, and to my closet. I picked out a beige collared shirt with a pair of blue high waisted shorts, only side with the necklace Benedict gave me, and some high top converse. I brushed through my hair, and I put it in a braid, and I put on some makeup, but not too much. I walked back to the living area to wake up Lily to let her know I was leaving.

"Hey, Lily? I'm going to have lunch with Benedict, okay?" I said as I gently shook her awake.

"Okay. Tom is going to come over later anyway, have fun." Lily said smiling as she fell asleep again. I grabbed my bag and keys and I walked out the door. When I arrived outside, I walked to my car. When I arrived at my car, I called Benedict.

"Hi." Benedict said when he answered the phone.

"Hi, Benedict. I'm going to be a bit late for lunch today." I said over the phone.

"Why? What's wrong?" Benedict asked with concern in his voice.

"Someone trashed my car."
