June 30th
This wasn't any other big deal than the rest. It wasn't like he hadn't seen me before. We had finally found the time to have a Skype date and I was pacing my room, more nervous than I had ever been. Being able to stare at the planes of his chest and his broad shoulders…nope that didn't calm me down any.
We had been talking non-stop recently. The distance had yet to affect us, but had we been together we would have breached intimacy at this point. I'd sent him a picture of Kay and I at the beach; that had set him off. He had cursed me for a few days, telling me that the want was driving him rather insane.
I threw on my white tank and yoga shorts. We didn't want to reveal any parts of ourselves to one another yet, wanting to explore in person. I would endlessly be thanking the Universes for giving me such a chivalrous creature to have care for me.
I lay down to finish my paper and by 6 p.m. it was completed. He always called around 11 p.m. his time. They generally got done filming around 9.30, so it gave him time to finish up a shower and grab a bite before calling. I'd just finished my dinner when he called. He was calling through the Skype phone first, bless.
"Hiya lovely. How are you?" He asked.
"Swell, but do you not want to see my face Smith?" I asked jokingly.
"Ha, I want nothing more. Just making sure you're still all right with it. Should I press the video?"
"If you don't do it now I may just chicken out and only let you hear my voice."
"Oh now we can't have that…Hm…There!" He exclaimed. His face popped up on my computer screen and his hands were thrown up in the air, as if he was proud of himself. Oh, and those glasses…he must be reading a script.
I waved lightly to him. "This is just giving me more of a reason to miss you."
"You know what I miss the most?" He asked pushing his hair from his face.
"What is that?"
"Holding you…Seems as if it has been eons. Doesn't help that Karen and Arthur are gone as well. This whole filming set has been a completely different dynamic. I've had Kingston with me a few times, but it's weird adjusting…" he admitted looking directly into the camera.
I knew he'd been rather torn about his best friends leaving, but he didn't often talk about it. "You should get together with them and have a day out. I'm sure they miss you as well…"
"Kazza has texted me asking about you a few times actually, so we've had a few good talks. Darvill is working with Tennant so I think the three of us may go out one night. He's got to watch it because of Georgia and Olivia though. But enough of that! How was work?" He asked putting his happy face on.
I just shook my head and giggled, always the happy boy. "It was good. We had a kid come in looking for Fifty Shades to give his girlfriend. He looked too young to be reading it honestly. How is the new script?"
"You know me too well," he replied slipping the glasses from his face. I marveled at how green his eyes were. "It's good, yeah. Steven is giving us time off in about five days so I think I'm finally going to see them."
"Ha, Kay's birthday is in five days. That should turn out to be an interesting evening for us both."
"Oh blimey, we're both going to be pissed. That should be…intriguing…"
"You're lucky I know what all your British terms mean Smith. Otherwise I'd think you were jealous of me going out…" I said winking at him.
"Well I am a bit. I mean what if some random bloke whisks you from me? He will live closer than I do." Matt said flipping his fringe from his eyes.
"Oh you're such a child. I'd rather live a million miles from you than with some random guy who I would have to tell all my super nerdy secrets to!" I said leaning back. I pulled the laptop up with me and Matt pretended to fall out of screen.
"Bloody hell woman! Are you trying to kill me? I'd never want to get stuck in a car with you driving if that's any vision to how you drive." He said sitting up. His lips were put together as if he were trying his hardest to not laugh his heart out. It really was a beautiful sight.
"What in the world did I do to deserve you?" I asked smiling into the camera.
"Flash those pretty teeth and walk with those devilish hips. You're a twentieth century fox." He said winking.
We had just most recently discussed our common love for music. I'd figured out his soft spot for Radiohead as he had figured mine for The Doors. He had taken to being able to insert a line from any number of their songs sometimes, endearing really.
"You are impossible." I replied giggling. He clicked his tongue and winked at me. "So Smith, tell me how work was! How's Jenna?"
He rattled on for a bit about their most recent episode and how he had managed to break one of the stabilizers on the TARDIS. Honestly, the man was a liability to the whole scene. Bless his limbs. By the end of the talk he was in full-fledged Doctor mode. I'm allowed to have kinks, right? – I thought as I bit my lip silently, watching him move his arms about as if he were in the filming this moment.
"No, no Clara. Really, that means something completely different in Dellirium than it does with us!" He said in a panicked voice.
I don't know what particularly made it come out of my mouth, but watching him exert passion really just warmed my heart. "I love watching you act." My dreamy voice pointed out.
He looked up to me with a curios gaze, one that revealed how blatantly scared he was of me just using him. He didn't often elaborate too much on his feelings and I vowed to give him the time needed. "Why?" He inquired sitting back against his pillows.
I regarded the question honestly for one minute. Why did I enjoy watching him particularly? I had reveled in watching many brilliant actors pour passion into their roles. Why Matt Smith?
"I'd say it was because you're incredibly sexy and the thoughts you've planted in my head about that bow tie drive me ridiculously insane, but while that's true you wouldn't accept that as an answer would you?" I asked biting my lip.
He cracked a smile and shook his head to me. "No, although that is flattering so thank you darling." He replied as I nodded my head in a thoughtful manner.
"I think it has something to do with the way you act. The amount of passion in your eyes…it ensnares me every time. This may also be an American versus European star ordeal, but you're so humble. It's like you can't really believe this opportunity is yours. I noticed at the convention as well. It's an endearing quality." I said seriously to him.
He tilted his head to the side, seemingly deep in thought. He sort of pushed his hair back at one point and his green eyes flashed brightly. "So it has nothing to do with my endlessly flailing and being clumsy?"
I giggled loudly at him. "I was trying to be completely serious, but fine. I watch you because of the way you flail and the way you speak when you get flustered. It's such an adorable childlike quality!"
"Oi! No room for the sarcasm here. Kingston say's I have such old eyes with a young soul. I can be childlike whenever I please. I am a Time Lord after all." He finished with a wink.
"Do you have any…preferences that are sexual like that?" I asked him shyly.
"Preferences? I do say I prefer to be with a woman and that she be intelligent." He replied cheekily.
"Matt stop, you know what I mean!" I exclaimed playfully.
"As in like Doctor kinks? I do actually, but you'll just have to find out when I can finally see you!"
"Almost less than a month. I'm quite ready for it." I said smiling fondly to him.
He nodded his head and pushed his hair back again. "I am as well, but I do have a question for you. You know him…well from screen…would you mind terribly if I brought a friend along? He's been down and out, needs a pick-me-up. He said he'd book a hotel if you didn't have an aversion to it."
"Oh please! We have a spare bedroom crazy. The big graduation party is here that night so that should bring a smile to his face. Is he a big drinker?" I asked idly wondering who it was. He wouldn't tell me, but that didn't stop me from wondering.
"I don't think he is actually. Darvill and I haven't done much, but play a few times with him. I figured we could serenade a few of you girls."
"I know a few ladies who would definitely approve. I've got a girlfriend who's very single and very into British men…She has a giant celebrity crush on a few of you."
"Oh you'd know all about that wouldn't you?" He asked cheekily.
"Tell me you don't like it Smith. I can turn my affections elsewhere," I said crossing my arms.
We had often come to have playful fights with one another. Honestly, not being in person and having that flirty aura would have killed us. We were both too silly in nature to be able to handle the serious weight all the time. He made me giggle with his nonsense and I made him fight for me by pretending he wasn't my world. In all actuality he had quickly become someone I was easily falling in love with.
"I'd be daft to say I wouldn't be disappointed. Letting someone else kiss you and hold you would be a drawing end for me…" He smiled almost sadly up at me.
"I wouldn't Matt. I can't tell you yet, but I have a feeling that when you get here I won't be able to keep anything from you."
"You don't ever have to keep anything from me silly girl. Whatever it is I'm sure it's wonderful, or at least possible to work through. I have an inkling that if we had been in person for this whole time a lot of things would have come to, all good."
I smiled and we talked for a while about what would happen when he finally managed to get his butt here. I told him we needed to go to Universal and explore the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, to which he laughed loudly at me. Telling me I was just too dorky. We said our goodnights and we once again fell asleep looking at one another through the darkness. By the time I woke he was already out and about and I smiled at the note that he had left so I could see.
Now only about nineteen days until I see you again and I can't wait. Send me something funny today? It'll be a rather sad filming day for me. I'd like to laugh.
