Chapter 4
A/N: who wants an Update? You want an Update! Here ya go:
"Oh Doctor!" she cooed, mouth full of paella. "This is...", swallow, "The best thing I've ever eaten!" As she swallowed the last bit remaining in her mouth, she dove in for more.
"I thought you might like it. It's some earth dish with Seafood and rice and vegetables. I like it, sort of." He said, smiling as he watched her and ate his small bowl of the dish.
"Well, I could care less if it's from Mars, it is MARVELOUS!" and with that, she cleaned her plate. It was so clean, you could just reuse it right then.
"Can I have another bowl sweetie? Please?" she pleaded.
"No sweetie, you have to save room for dessert!" He playfully booped her on the nose, and she smiled.
"I'm all yours, sweetie." She placed her palms together, intertwining her fingers, and resting her head on top of one of them. The way she did that, so slowly and with such care, just drove him crazy.
"I've already ordered our dessert, so don't even bother looking at the menu." He winked.
"Well for one, I can't read Spanish, and two; considering you've ordered for us, AND in Spanish, I'm fearing dessert." The Doctor took slight offense to this, but could never get angry at her.
"Oi, are you saying that you trust me with your life, but don't trust me with a simple choice of desserts?"
"Well for all I know, It could be a strange and undesirable delicacy from another planet. But, if it has chocolate, we should be okay." She lowered her eyes to an almost playful glare, and crossed her arms so that he, and anyone behind him, had a pleasing view of her cleavage. The Doctor started lightly sweating. Oh she's asking for it tonight... practically begging. He thought to himself
The waiter dropped off the dessert, which was something called Flan, and it looked delectable! River greedily grabbed her fork, but before she could reach the flan, The Doctor grabbed her wrist.
"Uh-uh River, not so fast." He took the fork from her grip, "Allow me." He cut off a small slice and balanced it on the fork, caramel sauce dripping onto the platter. He cupped his hand underneath and slowly guided it toward her lips. At first River was confused, but she caught on and opened her mouth to receive the tempting dessert. When the Doctor placed it on her tongue, it practically melted. It was like heaven. She let out a pleased noise, to let him know he picked a great choice. He smiled, seemingly like he knew.
"So I guess I am to assume I will have to get a recipe, correct?"
"Mmhm." She loved the fact that he could cook, and edible food at that. She got another bite, except this time, gave it to him. He seemed pleased, just the expression on his face gave it away. While he had his eyes closed, River sneaked another bite and quickly plopped it in her mouth.
"Hey now, don't eat it all up!" He said, picking up his fork. In a couple minutes, There was no flan in sight, and they were happily giggling for no apparent reason. So the Doctor picked up the bill, and tipped the waiter. He pulled River's seat out from the table, and she graciously took his hand. With that, they strolled out of the restaurant, into the night.
It was well into the evening, perhaps 10 o' clock. They spent hours in the restaurant on their surprising date. But Madrid was just waking up. People just finished dinner there and were out partying, and would continue into the wee hours of the morning. Nothing ever closed. Everything was accessible 24/7.
The Doctor spotted a small store. To many, it just looked like an ordinary market. But to the Doctor, anything and everything was classified as an adventure.
"Geronimo! Professor Song!" He shouted as he abruptly took her hand and ran off, dragging her behind him.
"Where in the name of Gallifrey are we going?" She shouted back at him, Strawberry Blonde curls bouncing each time she took a step.
"On an adventure!" He smiled back at her like a child. They finally stopped in front of the doors, only for him to open the door for his wife.
"Oh sweetie, you're spoiling-" She stopped at his side and they both looked at the bounty that laid before them. Fruits, Vegetables, Sweets and Drinks galore! Mangoes, Fresh Olives, Chupa-Chups, and all the ingredients for any gourmet dish in the world.
The Doctor picked up a round, pinkish fruit, and confusingly sniffed the strange object he held in his hand. It smelled sweet and inviting, just like River's perfume.
"Professor Song, what is this?" He said, puzzled.
She smiled warmly, "It's called a Pomegranate, Sweetie."
"Fantastic! I'll take 4!" He flashed a childish grin at his wife.
