AN: I'm really glad with the response I'm getting with this story. 46 reviews so far and I'm only on chapter 5. I didn't even get this quick a response with my 'Any Questions?' story which, of course, I have brilliant and faithful reviewers for who are so utterly brilliant in all ways, shapes and other form that I cannot fathomly comprehend in mere words, but people seem to be really liking this story too so hurray! I'm gratdul to all you brillaitn people...yeah for the record, I'm in a random mood today.
Chapter Five
The Doctor slowly closed the door to his bedroom, leaning against it. That had been close. She had almost kissed him...or had he almost kissed her? He paused, trying to replay the scene in his head again, before shaking away the image. She had to have been the one who had almost kissed him. Why would he try and kiss her? It didn't make sense. He wasn't the one who was head over heels in love with him so there would be no reason for him to have been the one leaning forward ever so slightly, inching closer towards her lips...
The Doctor's face scrunched up in concentration as he tried to remember how he had started thinking about Rose's lips.
"You know you were no help." he muttered to the Tardis, "You could have warned me she was coming." The Tardis remained silent, "Oh! You were getting your own back, weren't you? Oh nevermind...I got what I wanted anyway."
He reached into his pocket, retrieving the book and gulped in surprise at the sight of a pair of her pink frilly knickers caught at the side of it. He carefully picked them from the book, holding them up in front of him hesitantly.
What was he going to do with these? It wasn't as if he could head back and say, 'Oh sorry Rose but a pair of your knickers somehow ended up in my pocket.' No, he couldn't do that. Definitely not...maybe he could sneak them back in. Or he could wait until they heard off to the laundromat and he could slip them in her bag of clothes...Yeah. that would work. He's have to remember to do that, but until then he would have to hold on to them.
He quickly slipped them back into his pocket, and held the book in his hands as a feeling of guilt took over him. This was her personal diary. Maybe he shouldn't go near it. Who knows what she could be going on about in there? These are her thoughts, her ambitions, her dreams, he life with him in a book and he was invading it. No, he couldn't do it...
He looked at the book, wishing it to give him the answer. Morally he shouldn't. It would be an invasion of privacy, but Rose had done the same thing to his diary even if she wouldn't be able to read it since he wrote in Gallifreyean, but she had the intent to read it. Wasn't that just as bad?
He passed the book from hand to hand, indecision weighing heavily on him until suddenly it fell, landing on the ground wide open with a soft 'THUD'.
He leaned down. If it was already open then it couldn't be an invasion of privacy. He picked it up, putting on his glasses in the process and promptly began to read.
Day...(Oh who knows?) on the Tardis
It's hard to stop myself from constantly staring at him. I mean he's just so very very hot...
What was she on about? How did temperature have anything to do with him? Maybe it was that time the temperature controls broke. She had ended up practically passing out that day because of the heat, despite the fact she was wearing one of his large shirts and a pair of cut off shorts. He was constantly checking on her that day...Uh, that was probably what she was on about. That day...
He flicked ahead a few pages, finding another short entry.
Dear diary,
He was wearing the sexy specs again today. He puts them on and I can barely stop myself from grabbing him and kissing him senseless. I bet he doesn't even really need them, but I'm so glad he wears them. It makes my day. I swear if he puts them on one more time then I don't care, I'm snogging the life out of him.
He gasped in shock. She was in love with him. And she thought his glasses were sexy. He thought they made him look smart. He took off the glasses he was wearing and held them in his hands. Maybe he should stop wearing them to help Rose of course. He wouldn't want her snogging him senseless everytime he put them on. He sighed, shaking his head. He could get rid of the specs. He loved the specs. Ok sure he didn't really need them, but that wasn't the point. She had survived so far without snogging him senseless and she's have to continue doing so.
He flicked the pages until he found one word popping out at him - Love.
To be more specific, there was a whole two pages dedicated to him. Large hearts of a multi shades of red and pink stood out at him. Each with words along the lines of, 'DOCTOR 4 ROSE' and, 'DOCTOR 4EVER' stood out at him and he suddenly found himself very very scared.
He shut the book, pushing it back into his pocket. He couldn't read anymore. He need to sort Rose's obvious lusting for him out before it really got out of hand, but how was he to do that?
He paused, rubbing the back of his head, willing an idea to come to mind. A few seconds passed in the Time Lord's mind before he grinned, knowing exactly what to do.
He would cook her breakfast and he would take her out on a date. Of course she wouldn't know it was a date, but he would show himself off to be the worst date she could possibly have and she would give up her obvious lust for him. It was so simple. Why hadn't he thought of it sooner?
He sighed, pleased with himself. Now where could he take her?
To be continued...
AN: Review if you enjoyed...
