Angelic Ninja
I'm still feeling the same
I'm still playing the game
I'm still waiting for you
When they whisper your name
All the pleasure and pain
I'm still waiting for you.
Alex Lloyd – Still Waiting
Her life had been so different from his own, it was domestic and stagnant. He had pulled her from that life and watched her blossom into a remarkable young woman. It was her they always noticed, no matter where they were, no matter when. She was unique, special. He let her shine, let them take notice, all the pretty boys she met, knowing that she would be with him come tomorrow. But from where he stood now he watched as one of the more persistent young suiters led her to the side of the hall. Hearing whispers of her name among the crowd, the first girl to draw the attention of the reluctant prince, he smiled even as his hearts stopped momentarily. He watched them flirt, the Prince's eyes flicking from her face to cleavage. Rose stood out amidst the diluted bloodline of the local races. Brown eyes and pink skin standing out amongst blue eyes and purple tinged skin. He stood waiting, knowing. He caught her eyes, and made his way forward. Placing his hand above the prince's he stood and waited once more. "Step away Sir, I was in audience with this fair lady. Business can wait for another time." The prince's hand raised, brushing the Doctor's hand from Rose's back, before attempting to draw her away.
"I do believe Prince Alec, that you have misunderstood my intentions. I come to escort Lady Rose back to her accommodation."
"If she wishes to return, then I will be glad to escort her. A fine father she has in you, I'm sure."
"You know I'm standing right here." The Prince did not acknowledge her, as no woman was to be addressed while in conversation with another man.
"One moment, Rose."
"Do not disgrace me so Sir, or you will find your head on the blocks come sunrise." He turned away from the Doctor who just cleared his throat.
"Wouldn't be a change." the Doctor muttered under his breath before addressing the Prince clearly once more. "I believe you have misunderstood once more, I am not a father to this woman." The Prince looked him over once more before flicking his gaze over Rose.
"She wears no band so I am within my rights, Sir."
The Doctor held out his hand to Rose, who took it without hesitation. "No man has the right to take without first asking, even a Prince." He pulled Rose to his side and she moved freely to rest her arm around his waist.
"Thanks, Doctor." He just smiled at her before returning his attention to the Prince.
"Why choose him over all the lands of my kingdom, you ungrateful wench!" His own laws forgotten as the Prince turned on Rose. "A woman is only as great as the man who will have her, and I can see you are not worth the dirt you walk on!"
The Doctor smiled as Rose stretched to her full height, her mother's temper in her flaring. "A woman is no prize horse, your majesty," she spoke his title with spite. "If I am only worth what the Doctor has given me then it is more than you could ever offer."
"And what has he that is greater than a kingdom?" The Prince looked smug.
"Space and time, the future and the past. Distant planets and suns. The chance to be me! Respect, trust and love, something you are obviously not capable of." She turned on her heal and the Doctor smiled before following the one thing he couldn't resist. He knew he would wait forever for her, because she was all that he needed.
