Chapter Three
The Doctor sighed as he walked back towards Olivia. "How could I be so stupid! Why did I leave them alone?" He thought.
"Everything alright?" Olivia asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Well uh" The Doctor said scratching his face "Uh yes! Well not really – no, no everything is not alright." The Doctor said taking a seat next to Olivia and extending his legs on the coffee table in front of them.
"You're English." Olivia stated bluntly looking at the strange Doctor man in her living room.
"No I'm not!" The Doctor said and then he remembered, he remembered that Olivia didn't know. "Wait, yes I am!" He said hitting his forehead, "I'm just being thick!"
"Well, um I'm sorry, 'ya know that everything is not alright. What can I do to help?" Olivia said in a comforting voice, she was trying to help the stranger now, for he was kind. And there was something about him – something that interested her.
"Well I am going to have to stay here on earth for a little while…" The Doctor said as Olivia tried to tell herself that "stay here on earth" was a metaphor "…and I need to find some supplies so I can fix some things. So um – yeah if you could just give me the address of somewhere to stay that would be wonderful." The Doctor finished.
Just then a light bulb went off in Olivia's head. "Well, um – I guess you could stay here" she said.
"I can stay….here?" The Doctor asked looking around the room, for he was unsure of this offer.
"Yes of course you can!" Olivia replied, silently kicking herself for offering a mysterious stranger a ticket into her home. "You can only stay till tomorrow night though, you'll have to be out around five."
"Thank you, that will be superb!" The Doctor said throwing his hands in the air. "Thank you very much!"
"And you said you needed some, um, supplies?"
"Yes, why yes I did!"
"I know just the place!" Olivia said grabbing The Doctors arm and leading him to the door. It was a spur of the moment thing, Olivia wanted to impress the stranger. When she looked at him, she always had the urge to smile. He was strange, funny, and quite adorable, what else was there to like.
