A/N: The next bit of the quote!
"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heart beat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep…wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show off to the world when you're wearing sweatpants, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without make up on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you…The one who turns to his friends and says, 'That's her'."
"Who calls you back when you hang up on him"
Ella's phone rang out. Without looking at the screen, she picked it up from where it was vibrating violently along the kitchen table and answered it.
"No." she said into the mouthpiece before allowing the caller to say a word.
"Oh, Ella!" the Doctor whined on the other end. "You've been ages."
"It's been about an hour."
"That's ages! I've had nothing to do, it's really boring."
"I thought you only didn't like Sundays." Ella commented, hoping to distract him while she reached over to take a biscuit from the pack her friend Jess was holding out to her.
"I've changed my mind. I hate Thursdays too." He paused a moment, considering the problem. "Maybe its something to do with it nearly being the end of the week but not a good day like Friday or Saturday just sort of in between and – hang on, are you eating?"
Ella stopped mid-chew and mumbled through her mouthful of biscuit. "No."
"You are!" he declared triumphantly. "What is it?"
"Um – chocolate finger."
"That's it – I'm coming round! Where are you?"
"Doctor, you are not coming round!" Ella tried to ignore the enthusiastic and encouraging nods Jess and Sophy were sending her.
"But I want to!" he whined.
"Yet you're still not going to." Ella was grinning now, it felt quite nice to be the one with the power.
"Tell me where you are though!"
"Nope. Going now."
And with the words she hung up.
"He could have come round." Jess said. It was her kitchen they were sitting in.
"Um, do you want him to destroy everything?"
"Oh, come on! He's fun." Sophy cried, sending Ella a smile. Ella frowned back.
"You must think so," Jess protested, leaning in to look her in the eye. "You're the one who's stayed with him this long."
"Hmm." Was all Ella said and tried to think of something that would change the subject. Before she could, however, her phone rang again. Despite the fact she was trying to be annoyed with him she couldn't help a small smile flickering on her face. She liked that he called her back.
Ella answered the call.
"Is that you John Wayne?"
"You know, I didn't really like John Wayne that much," the Doctor replied casually. "Clint Eastwood is a much nicer bloke, has better lines as well."
"Yeah me too," Ella agreed, leaning back in her chair. "He was a bit of chauvinist prick – John I mean."
"I think you've been spending too much time with those girly mates of yours," the Doctor commented in an amused tone. "They've turned you all feminist."
"Yeah, next thing you know I'll want to get a job and vote and everything."
"Can't have that – need someone to cook my meals for me."
"So – you coming to get me then?" Despite her earlier protests, Ella was ready to go. Catching up was fun but this wasn't her life anymore and she wanted to get back to it.
"Yup."
"I'm at Jess'."
"I know. I'm outside."
Ella got quickly to her feet and went to look out of the window. Standing on the drive, leaning against that incongruous blue box, stood the Doctor looking incredibly pleased with himself.
"Cheeky bastard." Ella breathed. He grinned back at her and they both hung up.
Ella said goodbye to Jess and Sophy, persuading them that they didn't need to come out to see her off. This was no time to explain the TARDIS and they only wanted to chat with the Doctor anyway. If they were going to leave she didn't want to drag it out.
Skipping lightly down the steps, she joined the Doctor.
"Okey doke?" he asked.
"Yep, off we go."
He opened the door and let her past, following swiftly in her wake. The TARDS's engines sounded and the blue box disappeared.
They were off once more.
