A/N: Thankyou all for the great feedback! So I've dedicated this chapter to: Hobbit985, AmyAmidala, Megenta, and Raven again, because you are all too kind.

Rose heard it. The Doctor heard it too - the sound of Big Ben chiming midnight and the first of the twenty-four hours of Valentines Day.

Rose stirred and although the Doctor's grip loosened it remained around her and Rose pressed her head against his chest and before long, the steady rhythm of the Doctor's heartbeats and breath had lulled to sleep. However her heart didn't stop hoping and her dreams were filled with flowers and her heart fluttered with joy, as she did nothing but stare into the Doctor's intense blue eyes.

Her hair was like silk and when the Doctor was certain she was asleep he pulled her tighter and he too joined her in wondrous dreams of happiness.

IOIOIOIOI

When Rose awoke she found that the Doctor had gone, but not for long because the place where he'd been lying was still warm. She slipped into her dressing gown and wandered down to where the Doctor was cooking breakfast.

"I thought you didn't do domestic?" Rose teased.

"I don't. I just thought that, well seeing as you like Valentines Day so much, I'd cook you a decent breakfast for once," the Doctor covered.

"Well okay then, I'll just go get ready, unless you need to use the bathroom first?" Rose said quietly and walked out of the room without waiting for an answer.

The Doctor sighed. He'd said too much. Rose was probably laughing at him right now and that hurt him more.

Begin Flashback

"Can I look now?" Rose questioned. The Doctor had blindfolded her and was directing her through a maze of God know what.

"Not quite," he replied and helped her to sit down. Then he un blindfolded her and sat down opposite her.

"Oh wow!" she gasped. The Doctor had taken her to a beautiful restaurant over looking Sydney Harbour. It was just sunset and the perfect markings of a romantic evening.

"Do you like it?" he asked her shyly. The Doctor had put a lot of thought into this and he wanted everything to be perfect.

"Yes, I love it. But, listen I think today was a mistake. I mean, Mickey, I just feel so guilty, I'm sorry, I'll meet you back at the TARDIS," she said running off sobbing.

The Doctor was bewildered, and hurt. Rose valued Ricky the Idiot's friendship more than a lifetime of happiness with him. It was a selfish thought but Rose had hurt him, and hurt him bad.

'Goddammit Rose Tyler! You just blew your one shot at happiness for Mickey, safe sweet Mickey who would bore her to death. Yet still, a good person. As was the Doctor, and it hurt her to hurt him.

End Flashback

Although that had been over two months ago, and their friendship had returned to normal, last night was a vivid flashback of what might've been. Still, the Doctor knew that if Rose was to be his, first she would have to let go of her past.

IOIOIOIOI

"Mickey! Mickey! I need to talk to you!" Rose called out. The Doctor had left her alone for a few minutes to do what she needed to do. And Rose knew he understood she would want her privacy afterwards.

"Rose! Where were you last night? You're mother and I were so worried about you. Are you okay? Did fly boy do something to hurt you?" Mickey said worried.

"I'm fine. Look, I need to talk to you. It's about us."

"What do you mean?" Mickey asked sounding a little angrier "Did your boyfriend say something again?"

"Mickey, how many times do I have to tell you he's not my boyfriend?"

"Friggin' hell Rose! What am I supposed to think? All you do is talk about the Doctor!"

"You know, he actually defended you yesterday. He said what I'm about to do was wrong. But seeing as you're so quick to judge him, and not see him for what he truly is than I don't think he should've!" Rose screamed tears welling up in her eyes. "Mickey, it's over, I can't and I don't wanna see you again. Not like this. Not with these feelings. If you don't hate me than I'd like to be your friend."

"Oh I get it! Play happy families with boring old Mickey and when a better offer comes along dump him and head for the winds. Or in the Doctor's case, the edge of the universe!"

"See, I knew you wouldn't understand." Rose replied surprisingly calmly and ran off back to the TARDIS.

IOIOIOIOI

The Doctor heard Rose come in but she didn't run off to her room. Instead she approached the console where the Doctor was standing and gave him a hug. She then sobbed into his jacket held him close. This surprised the Doctor and he held her back, never wanting to let her go.

"He was such a jerk. He –he, said that I ran off to the ends of the universe. He said I got a better offer," Rose sobbed.

"I'll kill him. The little twerp, he won't get away with this," the Doctor vowed angrily.

"No, you don't get it. It was the truth. I did get a better offer. And, I threw that away once. I'm not going to let that happen again," Rose told him smiling. Pulling the Doctor close, Rose, gently kissed him on the cheek and said, "Happy Valentines Day. My Valentine."

Then she wandered off to bed leaving the Doctor's cheek tingling. Then the Doctor stuck his head into Rose's room and said," Can I still kill Mickey?"

Not finished yet. Updates up within the next week hopefully with more tension. They're not gonna be living happily ever after yet. Review please:-p
