Description
Standing at the table you write up the order of the guest which sits in front of you. You are working in a coffee shop since mid-last year. After you moved to London you needed a job so you could pay the rent. Actually you are looking for a job as a Cartoonist but it isn’t easy to find one.

Anyway, you had the luck to meet Benedict Cumberbatch last year in November. Ben and
Martin Freeman came into the Café during a break. You treated them respectful and didn’t
want to steal their time with asking for autographs.
Ben seemed to be thankful for that and enjoyed it, so he decided to come again more often.
So when he came into the Café for the third time the shy actor finally tried to start a
conversation with you.
He asked you which dessert you’d recommend and so you started to chat with him.

During your free day you wanted to go shopping and met him by chance in a shop for CD’s.
You still remember what happened.

FLASHBACK
Ben’s P.O.V.:

I was looking for a little present for my mother. I had a day off work and I didn’t want to sit at
home. I usually enjoy being lazy and relaxing, but it’s been like something told me to go out.

And when I was standing in this shop and saw a very familiar face I could feel my heart
starting to race. I was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap so I wouldn’t be recognized by
fans and it really seemed to work because not even (y/n) recognized me.
I took off the glasses and my cap so she could see me. I just couldn’t get myself to go over
there and say ‘hi’. Instead I hoped that she would see me and come and greet me.

I turned my attention down to the CD’s again, biting my lower lip.

“It seems you can’t live a day without seeing me.”

I jumped slightly as I suddenly heard her sweet voice from beside me. Her words made me
both, laugh and a bit shy. I think I actually blushed a little.

“I thought London a little bigger than that.” I replied with a smile. I moved my gaze to her.
Just then she turned from the CD’s to meet my gaze.

“So did I. Maybe it was just meant to happen.” A playful grin spread on her lips at her words.

A soft laugh escaped my throat. “Sometimes it really seems so.” I paused for a moment. “Are
you looking for something in particular?”
I was glad to finally have the chance to start a real conversation with her. She wouldn’t have
to leave during our chat to take care of guests, and she wouldn’t have to take any orders from
me.

She showed me two CD’s; AC/DC and another band which I didn’t know. They were wearing
Masks. ‘Slipknot’… but they seemed very heavy..
I don’t know why she is listening to this kind of music, but to be honest, there has to be a
reason for someone to listen to something like this.

The next thing I remember was that she suddenly seemed shy. It was like her shyness was
contagious, because in the next moment I turned my head to look down at the CD’s in front of
me.

“Would you mind spending a bit of time with me?” she asked me barely over a whisper.
At her words a smile spread on my lips within seconds.
“Not at all, it would be a pleasure.” I answered, too eagerly for my own liking.

TIMESKIP BACK TO THE ACTUAL DAY
3rd Person P.O.V.:

Leaning against the counter you wait for new guests to come in. Ben had to go to America 5
months ago because of a new project. A few days before he left you had another dinner
together. You went out together a few times and at the end of your last ‘date’ you were so
close to kissing him. But you just couldn’t. Not before those five months.
You exchanged e-mail addresses so you could stay in contact.
Instead he kissed your cheek. He was about to turn away, but you couldn’t let him leave like
that.
You wrapped your arms around his neck to embrace him. You had to stand on your tiptoes so
you managed to kiss his cheek in return. At first he seemed surprised, but he returned your
hug happily.

Now these 5 months are over. He told you that today’s the day and he’ll come back. Surely he
is sitting in the plane right now, and you can’t wait to see him again.

As soon as your train of thoughts ended you could feel your phone vibrating in the pocket of
your pants.
Taking out your phone you checked the e-mail you just received.

”Hello (y/n). I just arrived in London. E-mail me back so we can schedule something.”

Eagerly you typed your reply, smiling happily to yourself.
”I’m glad you’re back again. I am free on the evenings this week, so you can decide when we’ll meet.”

“I’m completely free this whole week, well, for now. That might change. What about tonight?”

You could feel your belly flip with excitement. The thought of finally seeing him again for real makes you feel butterflies in your belly, especially because he wants to spend his first day back in London with you instead with his friends or family.
Biting your lip it takes you a moment to manage to type your reply.

”Would be great. Can’t wait to see you again.”

You put your phone away again as the door opens and new customers step in.
The rest of the day went by quickly, so eager you are to see him again.
You left the Café when your shift is over, hailing a cab to get home. Usually you are walking since the Café is close to your flat. But today you don’t want to waist time. Also you want to take as much time as possible to get ready for your dinner with Ben.

Once you arrived at home you took a quick shower and got ready. Today is a warm day, so you decide to put on a short dress. You are about to fix your hair when you hear the doorbell ringing. Quickly you go to open the door, seeing the now brunette actor standing in front of you.
You don’t even give him a moment to speak and immediately pull him into a hug, just wanting to feel him against you again.
He chuckles softly, his arms winding around you until you let go of him.
“Hello, (y/n).” he speaks with his oh, so deep voice. “I’ve missed you.”
“I’ve missed you too. I just need a few more minutes, come in. I need to close the door because of Candy.” You invite him in with a wide smile. A mewl comes from behind you and you look down to see your snow-white cat entering the small hallway. While Ben crouches to greet your beloved cat you go back into the bathroom to fix your hair.
Your hair reach past your breasts already and you love it. It is much work to keep your hair healthy, but it is worth it.
You’ve started to make yourself some locks, so you now finish your work.

You look into the mirror and it seems like you are seeing a completely different woman. You feel so beautiful, so… female.
When you leave the bathroom you see Candy pressing her head against Ben’s hand. She always loves to meet new people…
“I’m ready now.”

Turning his attention to you, Ben gets up again, trying to keep himself from staring at you, but he finds it hard to turn away.
You once again open the door, locking it after you both left your flat. “So, how was your time in America?” you ask him curiously, glad to finally be able to talk to him again.
“Oh, it really was fun to work on this movie. It was very interesting. How have you been?”
“I’ve finally found a job as a Cartoonist!” you tell him eagerly. “I am really excited about this job. I’ll start in two weeks.”
Ben’s eyes grow wide with excitement and joy, happy for you to have finally found the job you always wanted.
You take his hand and he interwines your fingers, as you already did before he left London. It just feels right, for both of you.
“Other than that there happened nothing interesting though. I met some new friends but no one to date.” You say with a soft sigh.
As Ben listens he cant stop a smile from spreading on his lips. He knows, it is quite selfish, but he is glad you are still single. He would have understood if you found someone to date during those five months, but well…
“Is this a good or a bad thing?” he asks somewhat cautiously but also curious, his shyness showing once again
At his question you look up at him, smiling softly.
“I’d say it’s a good thing. I am still sure there is a perfect man waiting for me. And maybe he will ask me out sooner than I am thinking.”

He turns his gaze down to hide his smile from you. He could definitely imagine himself as this man, even though he knows he isn’t perfect. To be honest, he doesn’t want you to date anyone else. He wants to find out to what your relationship can expand.
“I have booked a little restaurant in Greenwich. It is a bit far from here. Do you want to take a cab or do you want to keep walking?”
“I don’t mind walking.” You reply with a smile.
He nods in understanding, leading you through the busy streets of London. You always enjoy a nice walk, the somewhat fresh air against your skin…
You both keep chatting a bit, suggesting to get ice cream as a dessert today. You tell him about some things wich you want to try, like jumping out of a plane with a parachute and such things. What you don’t know though Is something else that comes to Ben’s mind, which is very exciting as well.
“Yeah, maybe we can do that together.” You tell him, of course talking about the jump, though, the thought of before pops up in his mind at your words, erotic pictures invading his mind and he can feel his body heating up.
You arrive in front of the restaurant and being a gentleman, Ben opens the door for you, waiting until you stepped inside, then he follows you. A waiter leads you to the table and you sit down at the chair which the waiter pulled out for you, thanking him with a warm smile.

The dinner went by quickly. You ate together, exchanging your telephone numbers so you wouldn’t have to send e-mails all the time. He also asked you if you already went to the London’s Eye. You shook your head, telling with a grin that you have the feeling you will go there soon. He grinned back at you, saying your intuition is sharp. Your reply “I know. And I am good at other things as well.” Made pictures pop up in both your minds, leaving the two of you blushing at your own thoughts.
You remember something that Ben told you before he had to leave London. You were taking a walk and accidently bumped into him. You excused yourself and Ben said “We have to be more careful or we end up banging against a tree.”
You grin softly to yourself at your comment, this memory in your mind, so you say, “This sounded just as wrong as the ‘banging against a tree’.” You laugh.
His eyes widen a little, a darker blush spreading on his cheeks as he actually imagines the two of you against a tree, until he remembers that these words once came out of his mouth. He lets out a laugh and you join in.

Once you left the restaurant Ben led you to an ice cream parlour.
You check which flavours you can choose and settle on strawberry and green apple, smiling as you finally start licking the sweet dessert.
You start walking again, following a path which is surrounded by green.

The actor glances down at you as you walk, his gaze moving to your lips, and he wonders what they’d taste like. His mind starts wandering now; his train of thoughts makes him wonder what you’d taste like further down.
He clears his throat, sparks of arousal igniting in his belly.
You don’t notice Benedict’s gaze on you, neither do you have an idea what he is thinking about.

“Do you want to taste mine?”
You glance up at him as he speaks, seeing he is holding his ice cream out to you. For a moment his words made you think about something else entirely. Not that wouldn’t want to taste IT as well…

You nod at him, smiling and hoping you aren’t blushing at the thought that invaded your mind. “Yeah, thank you.”
Now you are leaning in, tasting the flavours he had chosen.
The man beside you could feel a shiver running down his spine, his length twitching in his boxers at the sight of your lips wrapped around the top of his ice-cream.

You pull away wish a shy smile, mumbling “It’s delicious.” before you offer him to taste yours as well.
You don’t know why he is giving you this look for a moment, but soon enough he thanks you and leans in to try the strawberry and green apple flavours.
It seems like the time is frozen when his full, perfect shaped lips wrap around you sweet dessert. You can’t turn your gaze away, your own lips parting as you watch him.

Just as he pulls away you can’t resist anymore, his lips seeming so soft, so tempting…
Before he is able to comment the taste of the flavours you have chosen you press your lips on top of his, his lips so cold, but sweet. Even though you enjoy tasting the ice cream on his lips you would prefer to just taste his own flavour.

At first Ben’s eyes widen, this kiss unexpected, but much appreciated. He returns the kiss, but before he is able to deepen it you break away, looking up at him with reddened cheeks.
At first he doesn’t know what to say, and then your ice cream catches his attention, seeing it melting slowly.

“Oh, yours is dripping.” He states.
You turn your attention and see that it indeed is dripping. You let your tongue run over the cold dessert, and then you take it into your other hand so you can clean your fingers from the sticky liquid.
You lick your fingers clean, taking one into your mouth to suck the ice cream off. Ben’s gaze is fixed on your digits, his breathing heavier than before.

“Should we go?” he asks when you are done. Hopefully it will help him to calm down again.
You nod in response, starting to walk again, Benedict right beside you.

Your walk is over sooner than you think and you arrive in front of your flat. You hesitate for a moment before you speak, “There is still time. It would be a shame to end the evening so early… you want to come in for a while?”

There is one thought going through his mind... ”So it is likely going to happen tonight.”
He nods, thanking you for the offer and follows you inside of the building, waiting for you to unlock the door to your flat.

I jumped slightly as I suddenly heard her sweet voice from beside me. Her words made me

“I thought London a little bigger than that.” I replied with a smile. I moved my gaze to her.
Just then she turned from the CD’s to meet my gaze.

“So did I. Maybe it was just meant to happen.” A playful grin spread on her lips at her words.

”Hello (y/n). I just arrived in London. E-mail me back so we can schedule something.”

Eagerly you typed your reply, smiling happily to yourself.

You put your phone away again as the door opens and new customers step in.
The rest of the day went by quickly, so eager you are to see him again.

A mewl comes from behind you and you look down to see your snow-white cat entering the small hallway. While Ben crouches to greet your beloved cat you go back into the bathroom to fix your hair.
Your hair reach past your breasts already and you love it. It is much work to keep your hair healthy, but it is worth it.
You’ve started to make yourself some locks, so you now finish your work.

You look into the mirror and it seems like you are seeing a completely different woman. You feel so beautiful, so… female.

“I’m ready now.”

Turning his attention to you, Ben gets up again, trying to keep himself from staring at you, but he finds it hard to turn away.
You once again open the door, locking it after you both left your flat. “So, how was your time in America?” you ask him curiously, glad to finally be able to talk to him again.
“Oh, it really was fun to work on this movie. It was very interesting. How have you been?”
“I’ve finally found a job as a Cartoonist!” you tell him eagerly. “I am really excited about this job. I’ll start in two weeks.”
Ben’s eyes grow wide with excitement and joy, happy for you to have finally found the job you always wanted.
You take his hand and he interwines your fingers, as you already did before he left London. It just feels right, for both of you.
“Other than that there happened nothing interesting though. I met some new friends but no one to date.” You say with a soft sigh.

You pull away wish a shy smile, mumbling “It’s delicious.” before you offer him to taste yours as well.
