Chapter 1

Alex gets ready to go out with Matt. He refuses to tell her were they are going or what they are doing but she knows they will probably end up acting like friends while they are out. She puts on a long black skirt that is pretty casual looking and a somewhat dressy top. She refuses to wear the heels even though she knows they would look cute with the outfit. She puts on her Chucks instead. Soon Matt walks into the bedroom telling her they have to leave. She fluffs her curls one more time before he puts his hand around her waist and leads her to the door. They end up going to this nice restaurant and taking a walk in the park after. The park is full of the press today for some reason so no holding hands.

"I got you something." Says Matt as he pulls a square box out of his coat pocket.

"Can I open it later when we aren't being watched? " says Alex looking over at two young looking reporters who keeps staring at them.

"Nope. Open it now. Please!" whines Matt who puts on a sad puppy dog face.

"Are you a love sick puppy now, Darling?"

Matt nods still making the face and Alex laughs.

They walk over to the closest bench and Alex relaxes a bit when she sees the reporters walk away. She takes the box and lifts the lid to find a beautiful charm bracelet. She takes it out and looks at all the charms. Some are custom made. There is a tiny picture of Salome, and picture of Matt and Salome making funny faces at the camera and a heart shaped charm that is a picture of Matt and Alex kissing. There are other small charms of things she likes and she laughs a bit when she sees that one of the biggest charms on the bracelet is a TARDIS.

"Flip over the TARDIS." Says Matt smiling at her.

Engraved on the back of the TARDIS is "Hello, Sweetie." Alex looks up at him, her eyes full of the love she feels for him but is too afraid to fully show him.

"I absolutely love how you say that line."

"Hello, Sweetie." She says with a smirk. Their faces are dangerously close for being out in public. He stares from her eyes to her lips. "We can't, Sweetheart." Whispers Alex as she pulls her face further away from his. He looks down at his shoes.

"I know, Love. I just wish we could."

"One day, maybe. I really do love this, Darling. It's perfect. Just like you." Says Alex with a smile. She gathers up the courage and places her head on his shoulder.

"What's this? Some type of touching in public?! What a magical day this is! I should buy you gifts more often!"

Alex lifts up her head and shoves Matt with her shoulder. "Oh, shut up. Help me put this on will you?"

Matt unclips the bracelet and puts it around Alex's wrist.

"Shall we go back to my place then?" says Matt standing up.

"What are we going to do there?" says Alex smiling as she stands up next to him.

"Spoilers." Says Matt with a big smile. "Race you back to the car."

Before Alex can even say anything Matt is running down the path towards were the car park is. Alex sighs and starts running after him laughing to herself. She figures she won't catch up to him but before she knows it she is running right alongside him. Alex runs out of breath and slows down a bit and Matt speeds off in front of her tapping the car with his hand and jumps up and down in triumph. Alex runs up to him and leans up against the car panting.

"How about we not do that again? Ever again. I'm too old for running."

"Now stop with this 'too old' nonsense! You are only as old as you feel!" says Matt as he grabs Alex and starts to make her dance around the car with him. His right hand holding her left and his left on her waist.

"Matthew you are such a child!" says Alex laughing and letting her head fall onto his shoulder as they still dance around. "And right now I feel about 70 years old! Can you let me catch my breath?!"

Matt pulls away from Alex with a big smile on his face. He walks her to her side of the car and opens the door for her, then he gets in on his side.

Matt starts the car and back out. A little while later their silence is broken.

"Why do you like me?" asks Alex leaning her head back on the headrest and looking out the window.

"What?"

"There are hundreds of beautiful young girls out there you would love to be with you. Why did you pick me?"

"Like you said. They are girls. I wanted a woman." Says Matt with a big smile on his face.

"I'm old enough to be your mother."

"So? Why do you do this? If I cared about our age difference I wouldn't be in this relationship would I? If you are trying to get rid of me I'm terribly sorry to inform you that I'm madly in love with you and you won't be getting rid of me anytime soon, Love."

"You could just as easily fall out of love with me." Says Alex quietly not expecting Matt to hear.

"That won't ever happen. I'm not like your ex's Alex. If anyone here will get dumped it will be me getting dumped by you. Not the other way around." Says Matt a little upset as he pulls into his drive and turns the car off. He turns to Alex and she turns to him.

"I'm sorry Sweetie. You just seem too good to be true."

Suddenly Matt's lips meet hers. She is shocked at first then melts into his touch. She brings her hands up and plays with his hair. He slowly slides his hand down her waist. Alex does a small moan into Matt's mouth as his hand roams. Their tongues meet and wrap around each other over and over again. Matt pulls out of the kiss with a smile on his face.

"How you feeling now?" he asks.

"Pretty damn good." Says Alex with a big smile on her face. "Sometimes you make me feel like a teenager."

"There you go! Anytime you doubt our relationship because of our age difference just think of what you just said! Now come on let's go inside."

The next morning Alex wakes up in Matt's bed. They hadn't done anything like they had in the past. They spent most of the night talking, cuddling and watching the telly. She gets up and walks out into the living room to find Matt frowning down at some magazines that Alex had never seen on the table before.

"Good Morning, Sweetie. What's that face for?" says Alex as she pours herself a cup of tea.

"You're not going to be happy."

"What happened?" says Alex setting her cup on the table and sits next to Matt.

Matt hands her the magazines from the table. The pictures on the front were of her and Matt in the park from the previous day, and had big titles questioning about them being together. Alex puts her hand up to her mouth shocked at all the pictures of them there were inside the magazines. Many of her head on his shoulder and some of them running to the car. Then there is a picture of Alex laughing because Matt had made her dance around the car. Their hands were still in the position for dancing but her head on his shoulder and they were laughing like crazy. Then the biggest picture of them all was them sitting on the bench, their faces so close together and looking into each other's eyes. There was even a picture of Alex's wrist with the bracelet on it with a big title over it questioning why he would buy her a gift if they weren't together. Every picture you could see the love in both of their eyes.

"Shit." Is the only word Alex can get out.

"I know. What are we going to do? We have that party later and you know we will get interviewed."

"We.. uh… We will just deal with it later."

Later at the party the reporters did exactly what Matt and Alex thought they would do. They ask questions about the day before and whether or not they were a 'thing'. They had put together a lie beforehand saying that they hadn't seen each other off set for a while and how they were actually really good friends but hardly got to hang out. Alex managed to break away from the questions to go up to the bar. Karen was standing there so she went up and talked to her.

"Oi! How come I never heard about this romance going on?! I am your mother you know!" says Karen jokingly.

"Oh, shut up. I don't need it from you too. My head is splitting. I can't wait to get home."

Karen orders Alex just water even though she wished she had gotten something stronger. She looks around the room until she finds Matt, who is actually standing close enough to hear the questions he is being asked. The man asking the questions isn't taking no for an answer and Matt looks desperate for an out.

"Why do reporters do this? It's like they really do want to ruin our lives." Thinks Alex to herself. She is getting extremely upset that the man won't leave Matt alone and that reporters are trying to come up to her while she is talking to other people and rudely interrupting what she is saying. Alex keeps listening into Matt's conversation. He is completely out of things to say but the man keeps harassing him.

"I'm done. I can't do this anymore." Says Alex setting down her drink.

"What are you talking about? Can't do what anymore?" asks Karen.

Alex ignores her and walks up to Matt. The man says something but he sounds a thousand miles away. Alex's heart is pounding extremely loud. So loud she swears everyone can hear. She puts her hand on Matt's shoulder and makes him turn to the side. He has a questioning look on his face but she doesn't give him any time to speak. Alex quickly wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him into a kiss. He is shocked at first then just goes along with her. The man freaks out and suddenly other reporters start to gather around them to try to take pictures or get videos of the kiss. Alex pulls away with a smile on her face, and Matt just looks confused and excited all at the same time. People everywhere are yelling out questions but Alex ignores them all. She turns to the man who was harassing Matt earlier. Her eyes dance from him to the camera.

"Did that answer your questions?" says Alex with a smirk.

Alex turns around to look at the bar to see Karen standing there with her mouth hanging open. Alex winks at her and yells "It's not lady like to have your mouth hang open, Sweetie!"

Matt had been trying to talk to one of the reporters but everyone was in an uproar from the kiss. Alex grabs his hand and pulls him away. They fight their way through the crowd and into the car park where their limo had been waiting. Reporters follow them out taking pictures and trying to get them to answer questions. They get into the limo and it drives off leaving them all just standing there with bewildered looks on their faces. Alex starts laughing.

"Their faces! Oh God that was great!"

"Alex? You do realize they all know about us now? I imagined that you wouldn't be laughing if people ever found out. How much have you had to drink?"

"Yes I know that they know now! And I could care less Sweetheart! I was tired of that man harassing you and others interrupting my conversations with Karen and that was the only thing that would have gotten us out. I haven't had one thing to drink that wasn't water."

Matt pulls her into a kiss. He smells and tastes like the drinks he had had earlier. Afterwards she snuggles up next to him.

"I love you." Says Matt playing with Alex's curls.

"Oh I know you do, and I love you too. More than you know."
