WOW the price. He went all out. LOL.notantheaDecember 18 2011, 22:33:50 UTC
[ Anthea did indeed feel special. Sherlock never fails to surprise her. Her own smile takes on a new sort of quality, the one of a child receiving a gift prior to Christmas. And, well, she rather did enjoy being spoiled from time to time as well - Lord knows Mycroft treated her well, as far as 'PAs' went. Her brow rose lightly as he spoke, and as he did, she already had an idea of what it might be, but she didn't want to get her hopes up. Unwrapping it quickly, without just ripping the lovely wrapping, she managed to get it open. Inside, of course, was the small box, and of course an idiot would know by now that it held jewelry.
But that still didn't prepare her for what was inside.
Her mouth fell open in a soft gasp as she pulled out one of the pear shaped, diamond earrings. Tiffany's & Co. For a moment, it was quite possible she'd forgotten how to breathe. Earrings like these? Not cheap. She looked back up at him, shaking her head in soft disbelief. ]
Sherlock... they're lovely. Thank you.
[ And then, the usually 'frosty' woman with everyone else was leaning in to embrace him, because if something deserved a hug, it was certainly that. ]
He saved up all his allowance xDdeducing_freakDecember 19 2011, 03:05:54 UTC
[It was a rare thing really, to watch her smile like that. A genuine smile anyway. Much like his own. Not very many people would ever witness such a wonder, so of course he had to be proud of himself for being able to achieve such an award.]
A necklace or a bracelet would have been too obvious. And rings are a bit more personal. So I figured this way, since you usually wear your hair down like this... [Sherlock says that as he reaches a hand up to tuck the hair behind her ear.] ..you could wear them whenever you like, without attracting too much attention.
[He can't help but to smile when those arms come around him, and he's returning the affectionate gesture without giving so much as a second thought.]
[ Oh, Sherlock. You're in trouble. Anthea's expression has softened, her arms tighten around him, and she doesn't immediately let go. Her lips murmur into his ear, cheek pressed lightly against his. ]
You thought of everything, Mr. Holmes.
[ She blames it on him being such a gentleman and spending money on such a thoughtful gift. When a woman works as much as she does, and puts as much of her time and effort into that job, she doesn't have time to have a normal boyfriend. Of course, he's not that, but there's no denying her affectionate feelings for him. Pulling back just slightly, she smiles up at him gently, then leans forward to press her lips against his. Well, the man had bought her diamond earrings, after all. It was the least she could do. ]
...Mycroft gives him allowance <___< loldeducing_freakDecember 19 2011, 07:05:33 UTC
[Expecting a simple form of affection like a hug, he was a little surprised when she lingered there longer. Even more so when that hold of hers tightened the way it did so fondly around him. Not that Sherlock would complain of course. Especially when she feeds into his ego like that.
Why yes, yes he did think of everything. Thank you for noticing, Anthea ...or whatever your name is this week.]
Yes well, that's sort of my job. [He mutters that quietly before her lips come to find his. That's when his arms come around the tapered waist, still holding onto his toy of course, because he's a child and not yet ready to let it sit just yet.]
