Ch. 04 – My Clara

-Doctor-

I arrived home and to my surprise my sister was there with my niece cleaning up the mess the workers left behind. They were miraculously done with their work one week early.

"Susan, you didn't need to come here." I said and she smiled.

"I know, but Jenny and I were super curious, why did you decide to stay in London for a whole week?" I shook my head chuckling.

"I guess I missed it there." Susan and Jenny laughed.

"Liar! You haven't stayed more than 2 days there since River." Susan said and at that moment my phone started ringing. Jenny ran to my bag and grabbed it.

"Ohhh, impossible girl, with a heart beside her name! Uncle John, you are so busted." I blushed and grabbed my phone answering it.

"Hello?" I sounded harsher than I intended to.

"Hello grumpy! Home already?" She giggled and my heart got tight, how I already missed her.

"Yeah, just arrived." She probably noticed I didn't feel like talking.

"Okay, you must be tired, I'll let you rest. Bye bye."

"Bye." I hung up and both Susan and Jenny were looking at me. "Okay, I met someone."

"Why is she impossible?" Jenny asked but Susan slapped her arm.

"Are you guys dating?" Susan asked.

"I'm not really sure. Clara is a tricky woman but I like her so much. She's Dave's daughter." Her eyes widened.

"How old is she?" I chuckled.

"She's 28 and no, Dave doesn't know I'm involved with her." Jenny giggled.

"Just two years older than me. Do you have pictures?" I nodded and gave her my phone, the wallpaper was a picture Clara and I took inside The London Eye. "Awwwwwww! This is adorable! She's beautiful." Jenny smiled big. Susan saw the picture as well and shook her head.

"John she looks like your daughter! You can't date her." Before I could say anything Jenny interfered.

"Mom, look at his face in this pictures, he's happy! And they're even holding hands! I'm 26 and I've never seen uncle John hold anyone's hand. Let him be happy." She said and I smiled, that was the reason Jenny was my favorite person in this world.

"Susan, I'm 50, I think I'm old enough to know what's best for me and Clara is no child, she's a grown woman with a stable life. I like her and I really believe she likes me back, so enough of this."

Three days later I was in front of a jewelry with Jenny. I wanted to ask Clara to be my official girlfriend. Jenny said I didn't need to do that but I was an old fashioned man.

"So, what do you think she'll like?" I had no idea. "A necklace maybe?" I nodded. Jenny was being awesome to me, she knew how clueless I am about all this romantic stuff. "She's a teacher, isn't she? Why don't you buy her a necklace with a book pendant?" That was an awesome idea.

"This is so her." I said looking at a book shaped pendant inside of a heart.

"She'll love it uncle! It's so nice. When will she be here?" That brought a smile to my face.

"Friday night. I know I sound ridiculous but I can't wait to see her again." She giggled.

"You don't sound ridiculous, you sound like a man in love." I widened my eyes. Was I in love with Clara?

-Clara-

I was counting down the minutes till Friday. I couldn't wait to see The Doctor again. And for that same reason the week seemed to be taking forever to be over. Danny was being a pain in the ass as always and Linda probably put some stupid idea on my dad's head because he keeps asking me what did I think of John and told me all his sob stories, he himself had already told me. He was telling me everything he thought was bad about John in a fail attempt to make me dislike him.

Little did he know tomorrow I'd be on my way to Glasgow just to see him.

I was already on the station and I couldn't talk to John for the whole day. He just didn't answer his phone nor replied to my messages. What if he changed his mind? NO! Why would he do that, right? He seemed to genuine like me, he was probably busy with something.

I didn't like to think of the possibility of him wanting to end things with me, it hurt too much. I have no idea what kind of spell I was under but I think I fell completely in love with him in just two weeks. Crazy, I know.

Arriving at the station in Glasgow there was no sign of my doctor, and that got me really worried. Suddenly I saw a girl who looked around my age running to me.

"Clara Oswald?" I nodded. "Good. I'm Jenny Smith..." My mind was running wild. Did he had a daughter? Was he married? I was so confused. She probably saw my lost face and giggled. "Uncle John was trying to change a lamp and ended up falling for the leather he was using, he's at the hospital right now but apparently he just broke his left foot." My eyes widened but I kinda got relieved to know he didn't have a daughter or wife. "You know how clumsy he is right?" I nodded again. "No need to be shy Clara, uncle told me everything about you. Now let's go to his house so you can drop your bag there and go to the hospital, alright?"

"Yes, thank you." I won't lie, I'm kinda shy near Jenny, I mean he told his family about me, that's a big deal.

After dropping my bag on his house, a big house for a lonely man, we when to the hospital. Arriving there I saw John sitting in a chair with a cast on his foot. A woman was sitting beside him, probably Jenny's mom.

"I know I'm fine! I don't need to wait for those stupid exams to know I'm fine. I'm a doctor I know what I'm talking about." I heard him say, my grumpy doctor. He still haven't seen me yet.

"Grumpy, grumpy! If other doctors told you to wait, you should wait." I said and he turned his head to me. Smiling.

"Clara!" He opened his arms to me, I bent down and hugged him tight. I could see the woman's jaw drop. "How was your trip? I'm sorry for this." He said pointing to his foot. I giggled.

"You have nothing to apologize for. It was alright, and you, how are you feeling?" He hid his face on my neck and breathed me in.

"Much better now." I blushed. He let go of me and chuckled. "Clara, this is my sister Susan and her daughter Jenny, you probably know that by now. Susan, this is Clara Oswald, my... Uhn, my Clara." I blushed deeply and offered my hand for Susan to shake but she didn't and turned to the doctor.

"I'm gonna go now, you don't need me anymore." And left. Wow, I guess she doesn't approve of me. Jenny apologized for her mom and sat beside us. Thank God she wouldn't leave me here alone with him injured in a city I don't know.

"Love, don't mind my sister, I think she's just jealous I found someone. Now come here." He held my chin and brought my lips to his. I really wasn't expecting that but how I loved it. His tongue teased my lips but he pulled away before I could open up to him. He was blushing. "I missed you." I smiled.

"I missed you too." At that moment a doctor came with John's results.

John in crutches was the funniest thing ever. He was naturally clumsy, with crutches things got worse. We arrived at his house and I went straight to the shower, I was so tired.

I put on my Mickey jimjams and went to the living room, John was sitting on the couch in his pajamas as well.

"See, I'm not totally useless with crutches!" I giggled and jumped on the couch beside him.

"I never thought you were." I cuddled by his side and pecked his lips. "Linda said something to my dad, he's being a pain in the ass." I pouted and John got uncomfortable. "What?"

"Are you willing to be on your father's bad list to be with me?" I smiled.

"Oh yeah!" He chuckled.

"That said I have something for you." He picked up a box from the table. "For you, my darling." I picked it up and opened it. It was a beautiful necklace, a too much expensive necklace.

"John! It's beautiful, but I can't accept it. It must have cost a fortune." He chuckled.

"You deserve it Clara. And you must accept it because this is my commitment proposal to you. Unless you don't want to be my girlfriend." My jaw dropped. What did I do to deserve such a gentleman?
