Thanks for the reviews. They do make my day.

13th March

She wouldn't admit that it bugged her, but River's words had plagued her thoughts since they fell out of her mouth. Clara couldn't stop thinking about what she meant by them. Did she push them together? Did she make the Doctor go round and see her?

It wouldn't have been fine if she had seen the Doctor to ask him but other than work, they hadn't had a chance to see each other. Missy had taken up his free time to help with the Labour campaign and it was evitable that he was missing her as much as she was missing him.

She smiled to herself as she heard his footsteps come towards the room. Everyone was dead silent as they tried to get their articles finished.

"How is everyone getting on?" He said, sleepily.

Clara looked up at him and saw him drag his hand down his face. She had never seen him look so tired.

"Clara?"

She shook her head, realising she must have zoned out for a moment.

"Are you alright?"

She gave him a sad smile. "Yeah, just a little tired."

"You should try and sleep when you should. It is only going to get busier." He reflected her mood well.

"I know." She gave a series of little nods.

He spun around in the middle of the room, just checking that everyone was okay before sneaking off back to his office.

"He hasn't been himself." Amy noted.

"Before you ask, no I don't know." River said. "I do not know every aspect of his life any more."

"Yes but you must have an idea to why he has been like this all week." Martha commented. "You do know him best."

River sighed and looked up at Clara. "I did hear that he was dating again. You know the Doctor, he gives everything and expects nothing back."

"Maybe he hasn't seen her in a while." Rory suggested with a shrug.

"I remember how you were." Jack said and Rory groaned. "Every time Amy was off sick, you were like a loss puppy. Well that was before you started dating and got married."

The office burst into laughter but Clara only gave a small smile. She would love to have known them all for longer. They seemed like a great group of people and she was glad that she was a part of it now but she just felt like she had missed so much.

"Hey, are you sure you are alright Clara? You haven't been yourself either."

She tired not to tease up at her question. Were they onto them? Did they know?

"I am just tired. I haven't really stopped since Monday."

Clara was glad that nothing more was said and relaxed as she went back to her article.

She tired to type as fast as she could. She knew that she was making loads of mistakes but the sooner she finished the better. The Doctor was driving her crazy by kissing and sucking her neck. He held her as close to his body as he could and was also starting to stroke her sides.

"How much longer are you doing to be?" His lips hadn't left her neck.

"Well it might help if I didn't have someone attached to me." She stopped typing and put her hands on his when he started to draw back from her. "Not that I am minding. I like you in this mood. Though I feel like everyone might be onto us. They have all noticed our change of mood as well."

The Doctor chuckled in her ear. "Well Amy thinks she is onto something now. Once she gets an idea she will not rest until she is proved right."

"So out of everyone, she will be the first to find out?"

"Unless we tell them."

Clara sighed as she returned to her article. She kinda liked the secrecy of their relationship. Obviously not so much when they couldn't see each other outside of work hours but it made this relationship different. It made it more personal.

She used her fingers to try and tame his hair. He had let it grow longer and she liked it. He had already mentioned that he was going to get it cut soon. Maybe she could persuade to not cut it all off. He had his head resting on her stomach and somehow she never wanted this to end.

But then again, she had to spoil the mood.

"Maybe this would be easier if I moved. If we were at different newspapers."

The Doctor slowly lifted his head and looked up at her. "How would it be easier?"

"We … we wouldn't be sneaking around all the time. There would be better boundaries to our work life and our private life."

"Would it though? Think about it Clara. We changed because we hadn't seen each other for a week. I can survive on just seeing you everyday." He brought himself up to be face to face with her. "This is just another perk of it." He bent down and kissed her. "Please never mention moving again." He whispered on her lips.

Clara hadn't really realised how dependant he was on her. Her mind flicked back to what River had said about his obsessions. He was really all or nothing.

"Sorry, it was just something River had said to me that got me thinking that way. She told me that she was probably the reason we got together in the first place. I think I am over analysing it but I don't understand what she meant by them."

He dropped next to her on the mattress. "She … She just knows when I am being an idiot. She has always been able to see through me. She came into my office and said that I was acting strange and you were acting strange. She would have got it out of me eventually. She was the one to tell me to talk to you." The Doctor looked at her. "I wouldn't say that she was the reason we got together but she definitely quicken the process. I was perfectly fine about losing sleep over you. She didn't want it to get to the extent it did last time."

Clara rolled over to look at him. "So I was over analysing it."

He chuckled. "Isn't that what you girls do though? Always over think and complicate things."

She joined him in laughing. "Yeah, I suppose it is."

He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. She placed her forehead against his chest. It was weird about how safe she felt in his arms.
