I kinda like this one. Hope you like it.
River teleports into the console room as I'm fiddling with the controls. She stands there swaying in her high heels before she spots me. She comes over to me and I snake my arms around her waist pulling her closer. She runs her hands through my grey hair before she moves on to my bowtieless collar "Of all things I never thought I would miss that damned bowtie" I smirk at her, I win. She smiles back and kisses me deeply. I savour it pulling her closer and holding her there. When I eventually let her draw back, I see how tiered she looks. Her eyes are underpinned by dark shadows, the twinkle lacking. Her lips are cracked and dry. Her makeup is not as perfect as usual. "Do you mind if we skip the passionate love making?" she asks.
"Of course" I say running my hands over her cheeks, she relaxes and allows me to guide her to the living room. We collapse on the sofa and she lies against me with my arms wrapped around her. In a few minutes she is asleep, a dreamless sleep which is most unusual for her a woman who spends her nights tormented by nightmares. She must have been so tiered, I wonder what she's been doing? Maybe she escaped from stormcage again, she looks young enough. Or maybe she was off on an adventure with another one of my selves.
I manage to pick her up, she's doesn't weigh much but she's a dead weight at the moment. I carry her to our room and tuck her into her side of our bed. I sit up on my side of the bed and read a book I've been wanting to read for 200 years.
When River wakes up in the morning she rolls over to look at me "Hello Sweetie" she smiles.
"Hiya honey" I smile.
"God I was so tiered" River says yawning.
"What happened?" I ask.
"Younger you" she smiles. Ah, I think I remember it well.
"Good to know" I grin at her.
"To be honest all I want now is to have a cuddle with you" she smiles softly, like a soppy teenage girl with her first boyfriend.
"That's fine we me" she climbs onto my lap and nuzzles into my chest like a kitten. Is it still cheating? If she cheats with myself? At the moment I can't be bothered to think of the mechanics of it so I hold her close and close my eyes.
Please review!
