Chapter 4
Tension
Rose curled up in her bed, she was sure that the Doctor would have kissed outside the TARDIS if it hadn't been for Adam, she groaned at the thought of the newcomer, that was a huge mistake, she was not going to invite anyone to join them again and the Doctor better not either, well not without discussing it with her first. She just hoped that she had finally made Adam understand.
The Doctor walked around the console room, his eyes kept glancing towards the direction of Rose's room he wished that she would come out and join him so they could talk and he could annoy her and she would laugh at him. Her laugh was coming as essential as his two hearts and she owned both of them. He couldn't image his life without her, the TARDIS would be so empty, and it would be like a tomb. But he was older then she was, a lot older maybe someone like Adam would be perfect for her. He knew that she thought he was good-looking and he was smart. The Doctor punched the wall of the TARDIS in anger, he suppressed a scream of rage, and he choked it back down. He turned and slammed his back to the wall and slid down it, holding his head in is hands and since the Time War he once again felt truly alone.
Adam lay on his bed looking up at the ceiling he couldn't believe everything that had happened to him, he had been studying in England when he got the job in America, he was a genius and not afraid to tell people he did not see the point in hiding what he was. Handling all the alien items were amazing, he would sit outside and stare at the stars and dream of being among them. Imaging what the aliens looked like that had handled them. Some of the creatures he had an idea because there were heads and hands and well other things that he was glad he personally never had to touch. Then she came, like a light brightening up his little office and she never seemed bother about aliens, in fact, at times she seemed amused and now he knew why all the things that he had dreamt off she had been doing. The first time he saw her, he just knew that there was something special about her that there was going to be something special between them. He couldn't wait to woo her, to show her the true depth of his feelings. He had never believed in love at first sight but now he believed in everything too many things had happened to him for him not to. What was going to be his plan of attack? How was he going to win her over? His mind went over situations and scenarios a smile on his face. Slowly his eyes dropped until he was asleep and dreaming of a sweet Rose in his arms.
Rose just couldn't sleep her mind was on the Doctor, she loved when he smiled at her his eyes glittered with mischief and when he finds out that there could be danger and all he would say would be 'fantastic' but then he would reach out and take her hand. Those were the times she felt safest, that she knew he would do what he had to; usually it was to keep her safe or the entire planet. She had understood why the Doctor had closed the door on her and she was fine with it, but they had not actually talked about it. They hadn't had any time alone everytime she turned around Adam was there. Rose grinned suddenly as she wondered if the door of the TARDIS would open while they were going through time, it might be an interesting experiment she might mention it to the Doctor and see what he thinks.
"Doctor" she whispered softly.
Climbing out of the bed she hoped Adam was asleep and she could spend a little time with her friend. She went to his room first but he wasn't there frowning she started to search the TARDIS. Reaching the console she looked around as she was about to leave she noticed something in the corner of her eye.
"Doctor" she said with a cry and rushed to him. "What's wrong?" her voice full of worry. She noticed him rubbing his hand and saw the bruise coming up on it. "What the hell happened?" She pulled him to his feet and dragged him into the kitchen and grabbed eyes from the freezer and covered his hand.
The Doctor tried to pull away. "I'm fine Rose, I had a little accident. I'm just a little tired." He stood and walked away from her.
Rose stared at his back as he went to his room. Something was going on with him and she was going to find out what it was.
