Another fanfiction story, yes, yes. I wanted to do something like this in a while but haven't gotten the time to do it.
I have a lot of time on my hands now and will do future chapters in this story.
Rate and review! Wait no you really don't have to rate I honestly just want reviews :P
It was my birthday. Oh great, I hate birthdays.
A few years ago my parents Amy and Rory pond disappeared on my birthday, this is why I now hate birthdays.
I was working at the book store at Baker St. with my co-worker Oswin Oswald. I felt so glum today; the last few birthdays' I've had have been sorrow and hurtful, remembering the sad events.
"Are you feeling alright, you look quite sad today." I looked at Oswin, she was wondering why I looked as clear as raindrops.
"It's my birthday, and I hate birthdays," I exclaimed, quietly.
"Oh…" She carefully nodded and didn't say happy birthday as it wasn't really a happy birthday at all.
I didn't want anybody to think I was sick or not feeling well so I would make sure to put a happy smile every time a customer walks inside the shop. We have a bell at the door, rings when ever somebody enters and leaves the shop.
A young child came in wondering if we had the book Pennies for Hitler, we knew our young customers had a thing for Jackie French books but sadly we didn't have any available at stock.
Suddenly our usual customer came in, his name was The Doctor. He was a usual customer and had an interest at reading basically all sorts of books, excluding children's novels.
"My two favourite people I love seeing!" I put my smile back up, but I was recently thinking of my mother and father's faces, my mother had pale skin and hazel eyes and my father had tanned-shaded skin with green eyes, I took on my mother's pale skin but my father's emerald green eyes.
My smile was starting to fade, The Doctor noticed and came up to the desk.
I made a small grin and looked at him, "Hello sweetie." He looked at me trying to see why I looked upset. The Doctor and I weren't together, but we did often flirt in the bookshop, much to Oswin repeatedly asking why we don't go and grab a drink or something.
"You look upset love, what's wrong?" Gee, did I really look that sad? Well I didn't have a pocket mirror on me.
"It's my birthday today and-" Before I could finish the sentence I was quickly cut off, not fully explaining why I was sad and upset on my birthday.
"It's your birthday? I should've gone and got you a present, but why are you sad dear?" I sighed and took a deep breath.
"Because three years ago on my birthday my parents disappeared and never came back..." My face looked emotionless but I looked to the ground at first, so nobody could see me my face.
"Oh you poor thing." Oswin said, putting a hand to my back and trying to comfort me. "I feel so sorry for you." The Doctor said.
"It's nothing, oh and Doctor, we have some new paradox economics in the history section, just like you were interested in." I pointed at the history section.
"Thanks," He popped the medium-thick book from the shelf and walked up to the desk, knowing he was gonna buy it.
"That will be $16.99." The Doctor payed with cash, never credit.
"I hope you'll feel better by the end of the day, love." The Doctor looked at me, sympathetically.
His hand moved a piece of loose curled hair the back of my right ear. Suddenly Oswin came out of the stock room, she just got a phone call order and was looking for a certain book series.
"Seriously you lot, you were made for each other. Go out together, I'll be fine here." Oswin remarked, half giggling.
"Sure you can manage on your own, Oswin?" I asked, putting a serious tone on.
"Well I'm better off managing on my own rather than you two flirting all day in front of all the customers, and it doesn't have to be now, maybe later?" Oswin laughed, and The Doctor and I looked at the other.
"I know this fancy restaurant place, dinner?" The Doctor looked at me. "It wouldn't be too expensive…?" I asked him.
"Not exactly, but if it was I'd still take you there." The Doctor smirked at me and I gave a flirtatious smile back.
"Pick me up at 7:30pm," I told The Doctor, getting a blank piece of paper and writing down my address. People would think it wouldn't be ok to give people your address if they are just a customer-friend, but I've known him for more than a year and we've had our occasionally flirting and joking.
I gave the note to The Doctor, he looked at me and smiled. "I'll be there at seven thirty, sharp." The loose curly strands of hair fell out again, The Doctor moved it back behind my ear. We both smiled at each other, Oswin noticing everything that's happening between me and The Doctor. As if Oswin was watching an intense soap opera.
The Doctor walked away slowly, than exited the shop.
"You know River, you and him are like a moth to a flame, basically need to be together." Oswin was in a relationship with a man named Jack Harkness, haven't met him though…Yet. Oswin told me she'd introduce me to him one day on break.
Hours past until it was time to leave the shop, Oswin was wearing her handbag on her left arm and holding a cup of coffee on her right.
"See you Tomorrow River!" Oswin said with a smile. I returned that smile, and we both walked separate directions. I went to a near by bakery which was open till six thirty, bought a soufflé then headed to my car at the parking lot and drove back home. It was almost six o'clock when I arrived home.
My day wasn't that bad after all, I scored a date with bow tie man and bought a soufflé for my self, I couldn't resist chocolate soufflés.
The Doctor had my phone number already, if there was anything he wanted me to know he'd just call me or text me.
A beeping sound came from my phone inside my bag, I opened by bag and checked my phone. One new message, from The Doctor.
'I booked us a table by the window, oh and wear your best dress love.' The Doctor and Oswin were the only people who didn't really write with any slang in their texts, they use proper English that is understandable.
My soufflé was in my paper bag, which I put on top of the kitchen counter. I went to get ready for my date tonight.
