-----------------------------------------
Ivy's POV
"Mom, let's do it again!" Emily jumped on the spot and I laughed.
"My gosh, I brought these jelly beans for it to last all day and it has only been about a couple of hours!" Emily giggles and I place my hand on the table.
Pressing my weight down, I get up and groan, touching my hip.
"Mom, you okay?" Emily asks, smiling.
"Yeah, I am..." I simper slightly.
"You sure Mom?" Nodding, I chuckle.
"I am sure this time." I kiss the top of Emily's head and make my way towards my room. "I'll just get some dresses and stuff."
Placing myself onto my bed, I sigh and bury my head into my hands.
I look into the mirror and looked at my pale face.
I was both ill and traumatised- still.
My mind didn't want the thought of Liv and Emily leaving.
And the same sentence rolled in my mind too.
What Benedict said the other night.
Laying back, I touch my forehead and felt so weak.
Then, I find myself shifting back up as my phone began to ring. I didn't look at it, I just swiped.
"Hello?" I croak and clear my throat.
"Wow, you sound really bad."
"Hey Ben, nah, I'm just a teensy bit under the weather." I smirk.
"You sure I should come? Yeah, I'll take a look at that one..." Frowning, I nod.
"Yes, I am sure."
"That's too expensive, can I see something smaller?" My voice jumped to a higher tone.
"Ben, what are you doing?"
"Yeah, I like that, sorry... I'm just out, getting some..." He clears his throat. "Food."
"Takeaway?"
"Yeh, what do you fancy?" I lift an eyebrow.
"I thought... you were getting some?"
"I am, but... what do you... fancy?"
"Um, chinese?" I say, unsure.
"Okay." There was a moment of silence. "I will have some sushi please."
"Sir, we only sell je-" Benedict coughs.
"Yeah, thanks!" I smile.
"When-" I cough. "-When will you be here?"
"I'll be there... thank you." There was a rustle of a bag. "In about an hour, tops."
"Okay, well..." I take a deep breath. "Me and Emily can't wait to see you so..."
"That's nice."
"Yeah, well, see you later Ben."
"Bye Ivy."
Putting the phone down, I groan to my feet.
He was coming.
Benedict was coming- and soon.
Benedict's POV
"God, Tom, that was close." I face towards Tom, who stood on my right, wearing sunglasses.
"That was so funny! Imagine if she finished her sentence!"
"You were supposed to answer for me! Instead that woman did..." Tom chuckled and I felt the box in my pocket.
It made me nervous.
"Can I have some sushi please?" Tom mimics and giggles.
"Shut it!"
"Aw is someone nervous?" I gave him my death glare.
"Please don't." I say, removing my hand from my pocket and we stop. "Alright, this is where we separate." Tom nods.
"Puny human, I'll see you later." I smile and Tom taps my back.
"See ya!"
"Oh and good luck, go get her!" He growls and I roll my eyes as I saw Tom cross the road.
Juggling the takeaway bag in my hand, I whistle for a taxi, which actually comes right away.
Man, this was rare.
Jumping in, within about ten minutes, I had gotten to her flat.
And then again, I feasted my eyes on the stairs.
Holy crap not again.
This was going to send my heart rate through the roof!
After heaving and literally crawling, I reached Ivy's apartment and straightened my tie, before knocking on her door.
I heard a retch followed by a cough and I bit my lip.
The door opened.
"Hey." Ivy peered her head around the door.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Come in." My face covers with worry as I notice Ivy's pale skin.
"You... look like crap." Ivy sniffed and folded her arms.
"Yeah thanks(.)" Ivy grabs a bag and takes out the takeaway.
"I may have something to make you happier-" All of a sudden, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, where the box was and I took it out.
Withheld calling...
I frown.
"One minute..." I say go Ivy. "Hello?"
"Mr Cumberbatch?"
"Bathroom?" I mouth and Ivy points go the corner. Smiling, I make my way there and close the door.
"Is this Mr Cumberbatch?"
"Yes, yes." I sigh and groan, looking in the sink.
Swallowing, I see some... um... sick.
Quickly, I wash it down.
Ivy was really bad.
"We were wondering if you wanted the audition?" I take a deep breath.
"I..." Scratching my head, I place one hand on my hip. "I haven't made my mind yet."
"Mr Cumberbatch, we need to know as you will then fly out to New York." I shake my head. "Please tell-"
"No." I say firmly.
"No?" I nod.
"No... I decline." Sighing, I put the phone down and stuff it into my jacket.
I take a deep breath and step out of the bathroom.
"Ben?"
"Hm."
"Where's the sushi?" I frown.
"What sushi?"
"The one you ordered when we were on the phone." Holy Mother of Holmes.
"Um..." She had an attention to detail didn't she? "They didn't... have any." I rub the back of my neck, hoping she would take it.
"Oh, okay." Ivy opens the box and I touch her shoulder.
"Ivy, I... wanted to ask you something... it..." She stares at me. "... it will change both of our lives-"
"Ben!" Oh my croft.
I feel Emily squeeze her arms around my legs.
Okay, I am never going to get this out of me, that is my night over.
"Hey Emily." I shuffle her hair.
"Mom, you didn't tell me Ben was coming!"
"Well..." Ivy coughed. "Surprise!" Myself, being awkward, I did jazz hands.
"I... brought chinese!" Emily smiles.
"Yay, let's have that and jelly beans!" I frown.
"Jelly beans?"
"Long... story, let's sit down." Ivy and I sit down on the sofa, tucking in with Emily.
Man, I wish I had said it...
