A Different Melody

Hello again! I hope you all are liking the story so far! I should be able to upload one chapter every weekend. (Just FYI.) So... what should I say in these things? Well... Meh, just enjoy the story. DFTBA.

MELODY POV

We walked down the hall way hand in hand. I could feel his strangely quick pulse through his wrist.

"Two hearts right?" I ask.

"Yup."

"Just wanted to make sure you weren't dying of fast heart beat on my watch." I am such a dork! Why am I acting like this? The last time I was acting like this was when that boy from the coffee shop- Then it struck her. She couldn't have a crush the doctor! Her dad would kill her! (As if she could die.) And him! (As if he couldn't regenerate.) He's a 900 year old alien and she's a 17 year old human who can't die! I guess he is kind of cute... She thought. She almost scoffed. He was flat out handsome! His eyes like melted chocolate, and hair that defied gravity. Okay, I do like him.

"Melody, why are you staring at me?" I woke from my thoughts.

"Just thinking about how your hair seems to defy gravity." I wasn't lying, I just wasn't telling the whole truth.

"It does, doesn't it?" The doctor went cross eyed trying to look up at it. I laugh, he begins to laugh too.

"So, how did you come about?" The doctor asks. We continue to stroll.

"Some mad man wanted to use my dad's DNA to help people live forever. We managed to arrest him, but not before he made me." I explain the same story for the 100th time.

"But then you would only be 3 or 4 years old." The doctor cocks his head to the side, and scrunches his eyebrows in way that adorable.

"He also wanted to accelerate age, so that the people he created could 'be a better help to society.' So technically I have the body and mind of a 17 year old, but I'm only 4 years old... WHich is really creepy when you think about it. A four year old, off fighting aliens and saving live." I allow myself to laugh lightly.

"So you can't die?"

"Not easily." We continue to walk. Hand in hand. Suddenly he stops, and turns to face me. He holds up his hands.

"You know how timelords have telepathy, and can look into other peoples' brains, right?"

"Yes."

"I would like to see what kind of DNA passed on for you to not die. Jack would never let me do this to him. So, may I?"

"Sure, I guess."

DOCTOR POV

I gently place my hands on either side of her beautiful face. My pinkies just below her ears, my thumbs at her temples. She closes her eyes. She seems to have inherited some of the power that Rose put into Jack. It's litterally in her DNA. I accidentally cross into her recent thoughts.

"His eyes a melted chocolate brown, and hair that defies gravity. Okay, maybe I do like him." I jump back in surprise.

"What is it?" Melody's golden brown eyes, as beautiful as ever, open wide in concern. "Are you alright? What did you see?"

"The life sustaining-ish-ness was inherited through your DNA from your dad." I say, my voice a bit smaller. She nods, looking at me expectantly.

"Well, what made just back like you've seen a dalek?" I stare at her. She truly was beautiful. And now the knowledge of her feelings and my own were in my hands. (Side note: Cheesy, I know... :P) She was just... So beautiful... Before I knew what was happening my hands were on her waist, and my head was dipped to the side, leaning closer to the girl that couldn't die. When our lips met I felt breatheless. She kissed back! The kiss started out innocent, but quickly escalated into one that made my lips burn with passion. My fingertips stroked her sides, making her moan. Her tounge just began to trace my lips, when we heard a door open, and we sprang apart. Jack stepped through the door.

"Finished giving the doctor a tour?"

"Yup." Melody answers a little bit too quickly.

"Well, c'mon. Team meeting." We follow Jack walking awkardly next to each other. Once Jack was far enough ahead we began to whisper.

"We have to talk about this." Melody whispers glancing between me and Jack. "But don't tell him." I nod, still a little dazed. "Oh, and you have lipstick on your upper lip." She gently wipes it off with her thumb. "C'mon." We quicken our pace to catch up with Jack.

JACK POV

As Melody and the Doctor follow behind me to my office where we meet Ianto.

"Where's the rest of the team?" I ask.

"Went out dinner." He answers. (Side note #2: This is because the only Torchwood characters I really know are Jack and Ianto.) "Who's this?"

"The doctor."

"Nice, to meet you. I've heard great things. You have lipstick on your upper lip." The doctor ducks his head, obviously embarassed, and tries to wipe it off.

"You met a girl, didn't you!"

"Um, well- kind of, I..." The doctor stutters.

"Did you meet a guy?"

"I won't have your cheek!" The doctor says laughing nervously. The discuss Torchwood things for a while. Like how we think the Sycarox might be planning a return attack, etc. I turn to the doctor.

"So are you going to stay over night in Torchwood, or the the TARDIS?" I ask.

"I think I"ll stay in Torchwood, just for the change of scenary." He says after thinking a second.

"Melody, can your show him the guest rooms?" Melody nods. "Doctor, if you need anything Melody's room is right across the hall."

"Alright." The doctor offers Melody his arm and she takes it.

"Jack, do you think..." Ianto trails off.

"Do I think what?"

"Nothing, it was stupid." Ianto begins to gather his papers into his breifcase.

"So, if it's stupid there's no harm in telling me." Ianto take a deep breath, as if delivering bad news.

"Do you think that the lipstick that doctor had smudged on his lip looked similar to Melody's?"

So, I hope you like it! R&R... or you will be EXTERMINATED! P.S. Are the side notes helpful information, or annoying distraction?
