Ch. 03 – I will.

-Clara-

People were saying goodbye to my dad and going home, so I guess that's my cue to go. Amy, Rory and I said bye to him and were ready to leave when I got a text:

Leaving without saying goodbye to me? I'm hurt, impossible girl.

My eyes widened and searched for him with my eyes, found him near the gate. I waved at him and he just winked. I wish I could go to him and smash his lips with mine, but both him and my dad would freak.

Next day morning Amy and Rory were saying their goodbyes to me while I was on my way to school. How I love Mondays... I woke up with an enormous headache and my first class today was hell. There was this girl that I couldn't stand but being a professional I had to be nice enough to her.

Arriving at school I saw Danny, can someone kill me now?

"Clara! Good morning." I rolled my eyes.

"Morning. Excuse me." I grabbed my phone and called The Doctor, I knew it was early but I felt like he was the only person who could help me get through the day. I didn't even know if he was still in London, I called him anyway.

"Hello?" He said with a sleeping voice. "This better be important because I'm on vacations so no saving dying patients today." I laughed.

"It's me, Doctor. I'm not a dying patient but can you save me?" I giggled at my own cliché.

"Clara?" He said sounding more awake.

"Yes, are you still in London?" He chuckled.

"Yes ma'am. But why in hell are you calling me this early?" I blushed even though he couldn't see me.

"Well, Danny was here bothering me, so I decided to call and see if you want to have lunch with me today."

"Are asking me out, Miss Oswald?" That fucker.

"What if I am? Yes or no?" He chuckled again.

"Yes Clara."

It was lunch time and I was so nervous to see The Doctor, I felt like a teenager all over again. I was so doomed to start falling in love with a man 20 years older than me who lives in Glasgow. I knew I would end up with my heart broken but I couldn't stay away. There was a knock on my door, he's here!

"Come in." The Doctor walked in looking everywhere but me.

"I brought fish and chips." He said showing me the package in his hands.

"Thank you! I'm starving. Come here." I put a chair next to mine for him he shyly came and I smiled at him. He was adorable. We started eating and I could see he was so uncomfortable with something, but I had no idea of what. "John?" He finally looked me in the eyes. "Are you alright?" He nodded. "Then why can't you look at me?"

"Clara, I don't know how to explain this to you, but like I told you I'm not good with relationships, and your dad told me how much he hates the fact that you are into older men. Plus I live in Glasgow. We'll never work out." I rolled my eyes.

"Why are you here then?" He looked down. "Look at me John." He did, he looked so worried.

"I like you, but..." I interrupted him.

"I like you too. And please I'm an adult my dad doesn't have a say in who I date or not. How long will you stay here in London?"

"My train leaves tonight." I felt like someone threw cold water in my face.

"Tonight?" I pouted and he came closer without touching me.

"I still have two weeks left of my vacations but..." I interrupted him again.

"You could stay at my flat, Amy and Rory left this morning, so I have an empty guest room for you." He smirked.

"Do you really want me to stay that much?" I nodded without thinking.

"Okay, I can stay at least for another week but then I need to go back home to take care of things, okay?" I hugged him tight. "Clara, not the hugging, I'm not a hugging person." I giggled.

"I'm not sure you get a vote."

-Doctor-

What the hell did I just agreed on? I would fall in love with her and things would end up badly.

It was nighttime and there I was in front of Clara's door with my luggage. She opened up the door with a huge smile on her face.

"Hi Doctor, come in." She showed me the guest room and let me get comfortable. I put my pajamas on and went to find her on the living room so we could have dinner. She was also wearing her nightie. I sat by the table and watched her cooking, she turned to me and smiled. She was gorgeous.

"Clara, I feel like I need to explain to you why I don't feel comfortable with being touched. Well, when I was 25, I was two weeks away from getting married when I caught my fiancée on our bed with my best friend. Ever since I felt so difficult to trust anyone and touching implies open up to another person and I can't do that. I wanna do that, but I can't." I felt my eyes tearing up and Clara came running to me, she touched my hand lightly with a reassuring smile.

"You can and you will, maybe not today, not tomorrow, but someday you will. And I'll be here to help you, okay?" I nodded, I like the way she was being patient with me.

"I know we already did it but do you mind taking things slowly with me?" She nodded.

"Of course I don't!" I smiled and thought a peck wouldn't hurt right? I saw her smiling at me and pecked her lips, she giggled and squeezed my hand. "Dinner's ready, let's go?"

One week, that was the time I spent with Clara in her flat. We barely kissed during those days but I felt so close to her like I knew her my whole life. We were on the station waiting for my train to Glasgow and Clara didn't let go of my hand once. We were both afraid to address the status of our relationship, so I had no idea if she considered herself my girlfriend or not. I'd really like for her to consider myself her boyfriend.

"Call me when you get home, okay?" I nodded. I didn't want to let her go either.

"Of course darling, why don't you come to spend next weekend with me? I know my house's a mess because of the construction but we could spend some time together." She did something with her eyes and suddenly her face was all eyes. 5'1 and crying, I never stood a chance. I held her tight to me and she broke down sobbing. "Shhh, it's okay Clara, we'll be okay." She looked at me when she calmed down and I wiped her eyes. She smiled lightly and I bent down capturing her lips with mine. Our first real kiss since the day we first met. I caressed her lips with mine trying to save everything about her in my memory. When we pulled away she ran her hand on my face memorizing me as well.

"I'll be there next weekend. And don't forget to call me when you're home." She hugged me tight and I picked her up in my arms.

"I will. I really have to go now." She nodded and I walked inside the train. As soon as the train started working the only thing I saw was my petite Clara waving goodbye at me, I couldn't hold myself anymore. I started crying.
