Chapter Ten - Homecoming.
I got tears in my eyes as the cab pulled up to baker street. The cab stopped and as Sherlock paid the cabbie I caressed the smooth black door.
John smiled at me as I raised my hand to the knocker and knocked.
The door was immediately opened by Mrs. Hudson who promptly pulled me in for a hug.
"Oh Keyland!" She exclaimed as the tears fell down both our faces.
Sherlock's and John were smiling I could feel it. I finally felt safe, I was home.
"Keyland! Oh look at you!" She said pulling back and looking at me.
"You are so thin!" "Come in and I will get you a cuppa and some biscuits!" She exclaimed wiping her tears and dragging me by the arm into her house.
A few minutes later, I was looking at a plate stacked with goodies and Sherlock was calmly talking to Mrs. Hudson about sleeping arrangements.
I watched him just enjoying being in his presence.
"You really like him don't you." John remarked.
"I beg your pardon?" I whispered furtively.
"You like Sherlock." John taunted.
"Of course I do. What's not to like." I said dismissively.
"Severed heads in the fridge." John remarked with a haunted stare.
"What?!" I gasped.
"Yeah, but you know what I mean. You like like him." John says nudging my arm.
"You can't prove that." I deadpan.
John gave me a threatening smile as Sherlock came up behind me.
"So you are going to sleep in Mrs. Hudson's guest room for a while. Alright Keyland?" He says laying a hand awkwardly on my shoulder.
"That sounds great... If I can get to sleep..." I mumble.
"Uh, dinner... I mean for dinner, how does Chinese sound? You must be starving." Sherlock rambles.
"Yeah, sure. That sounds great." I smile.
"I need to feed Rosie anyways." John says.
"Great." Sherlock responded grabbing my hand and pulling out of 221b.
Mrs. Hudson looked from me to John with a shocked face, as Sherlock dragged me out.
John shrugged and went to get Rosie.
