A.N: Sorry leaving exams and all. Didn't have much time. Thanks for the favs, follows and reviews.
Enjoy
'Jenna Louise Coleman?' asked Matt as he was granted with a small peak of who may be his future coworker.
It was a little while since Karen announced her leave. He felt sad at first, well still did. Karen and Arthur and him were a team for so long. They were a part of each other's life in a way he doubted he could ever be in any other profession with his coworkers. He was going to miss them terrible and hated the thought of not being with them or talking with them at least once a day.
He shook his head and tried to focus on the resum in front of him.
He wasn't surprised that she was also a potential opinion. The Doctor Who often used the same actors who had already appeared in smaller or episode rolls. Karen was just like that as well.
'The writers are thinking about building up this whole mystery about her since she was Oswin in the early season. They are thinking about connecting it. It would make an interesting plot,' told him Steven who was in the charge of picking up the Doctor's new companion.
He, Matt and Jacob were sitting in the small room talking about the potential girls.
Matt looked at him. Despite that she was already once on the show he hadn't had the pleasure to meet her since they weren't shooting anything together. And somehow they didn't end up in the same room to be introduced in real life.
He took another look at the picture of her in front of him. Brown hair and big brown eyes with a little funny twinkle in them and a bit challenging smile. She was-
'She's not average pretty but I think it makes her interesting that you need to look at her more often to see it.'
Matt raised his brows.
Seriously?
He looked at the photo again. 'I find her stunning.'
'Careful dear,' said Steven with a teasing tone, 'She has a long-term relationship with Richard Madden.'
Matt rolled his eyes and closed the file, 'Whatever. Will you need me for the rehearsals?'
'Maybe in a week. We are planning to see them first without you to see if it's even worth it.'
He wasn't supposed to be there until three o'clock but he thought he was being late and ended up coming early.
He heard her immediately.
He already heard her when he was forced with his mother to watch the episode she appeared in. His mum really loved to watch the show with him adding a few comments of course and often rewatch the episode when there weren't any new. Very often.
His mum was his biggest fan after all.
Matt stood outside as he heard a female voice knowing it must be one of the girls. He didn't immediately recognize the voice despite the fact that he heard her before until she said the 'run you clever boy and remember'.
He took a step back from the door and waited for a while if they were going to open them or anything but he heard Steven say something and then once again her voice.
As slowly as possible he took the small handle and opened the door like a little child that wanted to sneak into the kitchen for a late night cookie.
'Did you make this snowman?'
'No,' replied Jacob.
'Well who did? 'Cause it wasn't here a second ago…
Matt was listening to the words silently watching the petite brunette from behind. And yes shamelessly checking her out too.
Her voice was something that caught his ears immediately. There was this soft tone or point during her talking that caused him to stay completely focus.
She was still turned toward her 'examiners' and although she was given a paper she rarely looked at it clearly wanting to appear good in memorizing and show herself as best as she could.
After she once again finished with those words she used as Oswin Matt as silently as possible walked away to wait until they would call him with a one simple thought in his mind.
Jenna Louise Coleman would be a perfect companion.
When Matt's agent who was Jenna's as well introduced the two he a bit surprised her by a sudden hug. He wasn't sure why. He always was a cheerful person who was a bit too full of life for other people. He has often done crazy things with Arthur and Karen and well with everyone. Still Jenna Louise Coleman was a girl he just met. She was a taken girl he just met and his first instinct was to hug her? Yup, his sister was right he was really messed up.
As he put his hands on her shoulders he gentle pushed her away from him. He noticed the particular smell of her hair and body that he couldn't quite figure out but he liked it anyway.
Matt smiled at the still surprised girl.
'Welcome to the family Jenna Louise Coleman.'
The pretty brunette let out a soft chuckle before she raised her hand. After they shook their hands Matt knew that he and Jenna would be brilliant not just in the show.
And unfortunately, for him at least, he was right.
They were great on the set. Everyone secretly whispered about their chemistry. They were great in private too. Jenna was an amazing person who he immediately adored. When he later met with her boyfriend he also found himself nicely drag to the fella. He seemed good enough for such a sweet girl like Jenna.
But weeks pasted and everything changed.
Four years he had been the Doctor. Four amazing years. It was hard to say what was the reason.
Has he got fed up with the fantastic character? No.
Has he stopped liking the show? No.
Has he stopped liking Moffat's ideas? Well, that was a tricky question but not the reason.
He wasn't sure what the real reason was but all together he knew it was his time to go. To move out of the place, to be replace by someone else. To try something else.
The first person he told was as always his mother.
Lynn Smith was his keeper ever since he was young. She was his one safe heaven he could always return to no matter what. When his dream of becoming a profession football player she was the only one he was able to talk about something like that. About a lost and shattered dream of his.
She was the first one who he told that he was chosen to be the next Doctor. So it was only fitting that she would be the first one he would tell about his leaving.
Matt knew it was going to be fight so he rather asked her to sit down while he told her his already prepared speech. Not that he was getting his hopes up. Not even Socrates himself would make a reasonable talk with his mother about this.
Her first words once he was done and for the first time said that he was leaving out loud were, 'B-but… what about Jenna?'
He let out a chuckle. It wasn't on purpose. It was just some sort of reaction of his body because the fact that his mother said her name as a first thing to react to his leaving was just purely sad. Very true and very sad.
'Mum,' he sighed sitting down on the couch next to her putting his hands on his face.
'It's not because of Jenna.'
Not entirely at least…
Clara once said: The trick is don't fall in love. I do that trick quite a lot, sometimes twice a day.
When he read the line in the script he chuckled again. Always chuckled when it came to moments like that. Because yes. Every time during their time together goofing around, on set or talking about serious things he felt like there was something coming to his mind or stomach about her he immediately pushed it as far as he could. Suppressing, denying anything that would even from far away appear as that toward her.
When he first told Jenna about his leaving he could see that despite that they were just friends he broke her heart a bit which was cruel and selfish because he only done it to spear his own.
'You're leaving me…us? The Doctor?'
Her face was incredibly real. Something no one can play on screen. No one can be that real during an act. Real pain, real sorrow, real sadness.
He had been foolish to believe for that second that she actually had some other feelings for him. Others than great friends or brother and sister would.
With all that was in him he performed the perfect act. No, the act of his life as he put his hands on Jenna's shoulders and with a smile kissed her forehead, 'It's for the best Jenna. I really want this. And I know you will understand and back me up once you will do everything in your powers to try to change my decision.'
Jenna brushed her tears away and with that challenging smile and twinkle in her eyes she said, 'You will be staying as long as I. I will make sure of it.'
But she didn't and he left.
'What are you doing?' asked Jenna as she was naked covered only with the comforter still lying in her bed her eyes closed.
Matt smiled her words breaking his memory line, 'Nothing darling, sleep. I will go home change and hopefully sleep a bit too and then I will come for you so we can go for that dinner with my parents, okay?' he asked as he already dressed moved to the bed.
Jenna opened her eyes, 'Why can't you sleep here?' she got up a bit and immediately kissed him. It was one of those morning kisses with smelly breaths and a bit lack of passion because of the sleep and also a little clumsy yet Matt couldn't care less.
To Matt Smith who had been secretly in love with Jenna Coleman for so long it was a beautiful kiss. Just like every kiss they shared.
She opened her eyes once they broke for a moment apart her finger gently making a line from his forehead to the end of his nose.
'Why don't you stay?'
'Cause we won't have any real done if I stay, Jenna.'
'I always loved that twinkle of yours,' she confessed smiling.
Matt shook his head grinning, 'Not as much as I love yours, darling.'
And with that he kissed her. He could stay a few more moments.
She moaned as his hand softly brushed her breast. Well maybe an hour.
Thoughts?
