New chapter! (: sorry about the wait, I have had a lot of work! Its not hugly long either, so sorry, but I just wanted this bit up (: Enjoy and PLEASE REVIEW!
John Smith paced his office, waiting for Rose Tyler to arrive. True, it was only 3 minutes past 8 and they were meant to meet at 8, but he had been counting down the seconds since around 5 (when she had left his office).
Oh lord, I hope she comes. Course she will! Why would she not? He rubbed the back of his head with his hands, making his gravity defying hair even more mad. 4 minutes past now. Oh lord, what do I say to her? Hi Rose, you are perfect...no! Hello, Rose Tyler, I know this sounds mad, but I think we should get married and...no! For the good lord's sake, I need to get a grip. John sat down and dragged his hands through his hair, only to wince when he touched his newly cut head. He reached across to his bedside table and drew out his journal and flicked through the pages until her reached the drawing of Rose. He sighed and touched the page. Ok, this wasn't getting a grip, but if he was completely honest, John Smith didn't think he would ever 'get a grip' ever again.
Rose was the first person he was introduced to when her had started this job around a month ago and had, if he was being honest with himself, loved her since he first laid eyes on her, which was, incidentally dropping a very large bowl of soup. Funny how these things happen.
Suddenly there was a small knock on the door, breaking him from his thoughts and he dropped the journal in surprise, while shouting "Come in, come in!" He scrabbled on the floor to pick it up and heard a small laugh coming from directly above him. "Dropped somethin'?' asked Rose Tyler, and she quickly bent down and picked up the book. She gave him a small smile as she passed it over, causing his stomach to jump as she did. "Sit down,' he said, gesturing at his sofa, and he quickly put the journal on his desk. Maybe, one day, I will show her...show her how she never leaves my dreams...
He smiled at her and seated himself next to her. "Look, John, I just came to say, I just don't think me and you...we shouldn't go to this dance together." "Why not?" "Its 'ard to explain...well, for starts, I 'ardly know ya!" "Well, why don't you accompany me to the village tomorrow? It will give us a chance to speak to one another, you can hardly object to that!" Rose looked at him, her hazel eyes seemed to be trying to tell him something, something that he felt he should know, and yet... "Please Rose." He smiled at her, and gently laid a hand on her cheek, savouring the feeling of her, and the warmth of her skin. She closed her eyes, and sighed deeply, but smiled at him. "Okay." John let out a small laugh. "Is that a yes?" "It's the closest ya gonna get!"
She looked into his eyes, but this time, John didn't see them trying to explain anything to him. Just him and her.
Just as it should be.
"Rose...'he murmured, and he, ever so slowly, leant in to her, his hand moving from her cheek to her shoulder. Rose let out a small sigh again, but leant in as well, closing her eyes. He moved a little closer, their lips now inches apart. Do I dare do it...what if she rejects me? Oh for the good lord's sake, just do it John! Why are you having an argument with yourself when you should be...yes! Right...back to the matter at hand...He moved in once more, breathing in her smell, which was the oddest combination of tea, honey, and the oddest fried smell he couldn't put his finger on. But he liked very much. And suddenly, without anybody seemingly moving or saying anything, they were kissing. Like kissing kissing.
He gasped as their lips met and tongues danced, and time seemed impossible to calculate, for it seemed an age until they drew apart, gasping for air, just looking at each other. Rose had the oddest look on her face, a mix between confusion, shock, happiness and horror. Oh lord...you have really done it now John! Well done...Not!
"I...I am so...I...' spluttered John, looking mortified. But Rose shook her head and smiled. "Shut up,' she murmured, and threw her arms around him, kissing him even harder than before. Well, wasn't that something. She leaned into him, and he wrapped his arms around her, pressing her closer to him, so their shadows looked like Siamese twins.
"Mr Smith!"
"Ahhhh! What on earth?"
"Nurse Redfern!" John leapt apart from Rose, who had a very sheepish expression on her face and was clearly trying not to laugh. Nurse Redfern was grasping the door frame, looking horrified.
"What is going on here?" John closed his eyes. He didn't want to do this, but this was ridiculous.
"Nurse Redfern, surely you have been taught to knock on a door that is not your own before you enter it. Please don't enter my room again without making it clear to me and whoever is in the room with me that you are about to come in." Nurse Redfern seemed to recover from her shock but looked a little surprised to be getting such an abrupt telling off from John. She blinked at him and nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, of course Mr Smith. I just wanted to tell you, Tim Latmier is here. You told him to come to your office?" John silently cursed himself. He had completely forgotten about that. He looked at Rose quickly, who still seemed to be holding in laughter. "Ah, yes, well...Uhhh...um, yes! Yes, send him in will you?" Rose looked up and brushed her thick blonde hair out of her eyes. "I'll just go...see ya later, yeah?" She smiled at him and gently touched his hand. "Yes, of course! I'll speak to you later." She stood up, smiled cheerfully at Nurse Redfern and darted out of the room.
Nurse Redfern quickly walked over to John and sat down next to him. "Uhhh, what about Latimer?"
"I'll send for him in a minute, but Mr Smith, I just want to talk to you. About Miss Tyler" Uh oh...this probably won't be good... "Now, I don't wish to pry, but do you really think it's a good idea? You and her? I mean, it's hardly setting a good example for the boys and..." She stopped and shook her head. "Oh, all I have learnt from these sorts of relationships is that they don't last and I am not trying to stop you or anything of the sort, I am just...advising you against it in the long term." John gave the Matron a small nod and lent against his desk. "Yes, quite, except...this is between me and Rose. Not you. So...yeah..." And he walked out of the room, leaving a very bewildered looking and slightly upset Matron. What was it with him and leaving upset women? But, on the plus side, he had kissed Rose Tyler. A very plus side.
No, I haven't forgotten about Tim Latimer, he will appear later on! :D Please review, please please please! (:
