"So, what do you do for a living?" Rose asked, 'John Smith' as they got some more drinks in and she watched as he paused "I'm sorry, that's a really shit question isn't it?" she asked and started laughing.
"No it's not a stupid question, no question you ask is stupid," he began "I don't really have a job, I sort of travel to places a lot." He explained and Rose froze slightly.
"Sounds fun." She smiled "I used to travel, with a friend of mine, travelled all over, places you couldn't even imagine." She smiled and pain hit her as she remembered him.
"I'm sure I can't." He smiled "So, were you and your friend close?" he asked casually.
"Yeah, best friends. Time of my life." She smiled and took a sip of her drink as more pain inside hit her.
"Then why did it stop?"
"Long story." She sighed and quickly downed her drink.
"What are you doing here Rose?" he asked, for a moment forgetting she didn't know who he was. "I mean, why are you here? In the hotel?" he corrected "You're form London, don't you have a place here?"
"Um, no," Rose stuttered slightly "U-um, I've been out of town for a while," she began to explain "don't have a place here anymore." She finished.
"Oh, right, how long've you been out of town?" he asked, trying to figure out how long she had been gone, hopefully she would give him the actual time.
"Um, a few years, had this bloke, we were happy," she smiled, then it soon disappeared as she remembered, again, she thought coming back was supposed to get rid of all the pain, she was meant to be starting again "and some stuff happened," she sighed "so I came back home."
"What happened?"
"Um," she sighed and laughed slightly, she was shocked at how upfront he was being, and it seemed like he had realised.
"Sorry," he apologised quickly "I don't mean to pry."
"Its fine." Rose gave a slight smile, forcing it on her face "he died." She admitted and 'John's face immediately fell.
"Rose, I'm so sorry." He whispered and placed his hand of top of hers for a moment, then pulled away as he realised what he was doing.
"Why? You didn't even know him."
"U-um, I know but someone as special and amazing as you," he began but stopped himself "I mean, someone who seems to have a bubbling personality and a heart of gold shouldn't havr to go through that." He corrected and realised that might have been worse than what he said the first time.
"How do you know?"
"What?"
"How do you know I've got a heart of gold? You've known me for precisely," she said and looked at her watch "two hours."
"I'm good at analysing people?" he guessed and Rose just laughed.
"Right." Rose whispered and looked around the room, not sure where to look and looked back at him "what about you? You sound like you're from around here somewhere, what you doing in a hotel?" she asked and 'John' hesitated.
"U-um, good question..."
"That's why I asked."
"Well, I just fancied as change," he lied "was down in this area and I thought I'd see what it's like." He lied, and Rose, luckily seemed to believe him.
"Oh, right." Rose whispered then yawned and 'John' laughed."what?" she asked innocently as he laughed at her.
"Nothing, you just reminded of when y-" he began, but stopped as he realised he was reminiscing the past memories of the two of them, back on the TARDIS when she used to wake up from her hours of sleep and yawn like a lion. "Never mind." He whispered and shook his head.
"Do I remind you of someone?" Rose asked. "An ex?" she guessed.
"U-um, yeah, an ex." He lied and watched as Rose yawned again.
"Um, I think better be calling it a night," she said, her eyes worn, with bags underneath, she looked worn out.
"Um, yeah, me too." He said and gave a light smile and Rose got up to return to her hotel room, but turned back.
"Um John?" she called and he turned around.
"Yeah?"
"You don't happen to y'know, have a phone or something do ya?"
"U-um, y-yeah, I do." He said, patting his jacket for the phone that Martha had got him so long ago, he couldn't believe he still had it. "You got a piece of paper?" he asked and walked over to Rose.
"Um, no, just use this." She said and grabbed a napkin and gave him a pen.
"Thanks." He said and wrote the number on the napkin and the two of them stood there for a moment and Rose finally kissed his cheek and said goodnight.
"Night." She whispered and headed off back to her room, and as soon as she was out of sight, he replied.
"Night." He whispered and walked away from the hotel, sighing. If he was honest, this wasn't his best idea or plan he had ever had and definitely the stupidest. She was bound to find out soon who he was, even if he didn't tell her, which he would have to now.

Rose walked up to her hotel room and walked in and spread herself across the king sized bed. She found John nice, sweet, a bit geeky and jittery, but a lot of the decent blokes were those things. But she couldn't help but feel a small inkling at the back of her mind that he reminded her of someone, she couldn't quite figure out who, but he definitely reminded her of someone.
"Never mind." She whispered to herself and quickly got in to her pyjamas and in to bed, seeing what tomorrow would bring.

The Doctor swiftly opened the TARDIS doors and went inside, not really knowing what to do now, he could go to the library and read for a few ideas until the next morning, or he could sit and dwell on what a stupid thing he had just done.
"Library." He whispered and stumbled off towards the library, hoping to find something to occupy his mind as he felt some of the effects of the alcohol, not enough to make him drunk, but enough to feel the effects. Hopefully a good book would put his mind away from Rose. Although, it was highly unlikely, even when she wasn't on this Universe he found it impossible to forget about her, and now she was here, it was even harder "Oh well." He whispered and went in search for a book.
Thank you SO much for all the reviews, it really means a lot to me I've never got so many reviews on a story, so thank you so much! Please review again!
I'd like to apologise for the way Eleven is written, I've not seen series 5, so I don't know what he's like, so sorry if this is WAY off, so if you could help me write him a bit better, I would REALLY appreciate it
Hope you enjoyed it and leave a review to let me know
