"No, no, no, no! That not what I mean. Anyway, people have different styles. Don't they? Right? Everyone has different styles? I'm right aren't I? I'm right?"
"Yes!" Rose insisted and giggled at him "But, how are bowties cool?" Rose insisted as they walked down the river Thames, hand in hand.
"They just are! Besides your young, reckless, youthful and energetic. Blimey! I sound old don't I? Do I sound old?"
"No! You don't sound old." Rose laughed and smiled at him and stayed silent for a moment, just enjoying each other's company.
"Good, I'm glad, but they are cool, bow ties are most definitely cool!" he laughed and Rose simply shook her head "And fezzes are!" he added.
"Could you get any stranger?" Rose asked and he simply nodded his head.
"Things could get a lot stranger, there's always something more strange and different out there," he whispered, looking up at the sky at the stars, glistening in the moonlight "always." He whispered.
"Yeah," she agreed "I guess you're right." She smiled and thought back to when she travelled with the Doctor, there was always something to shock and surprise you.
"What you thinking of?" he asked gently and squeezed her hand.
"Nothing." She lied and the two of them continued walking, in silence and Rose's mind drifted to the past, the other universe, again.
She began to remember her wedding, their wedding, happy and smiling, it seemed like a life time ago now. She still had the ring, her wedding ring, not on her finger though, around her neck, close to her heart, just where he was. Rose shuddered as the memories came back and flinched slightly.
"You alright?"
"Yeah, just cold." She lied but her breath was shaky.
"I'll walk you home then." He smiled and Rose nodded and smiled at him. She was happy, she couldn't deny that, there was something about this guy that she loved, he was funny and smart and a bit strange, but to Rose, all of it seemed a bit too familiar, but she just didn't know why it did.

Rose and the Doctor arrived at her flat, which she had bought with Shareen. Rose felt as though she owed something to Shareen, so she thought she would buy them a flat, Rose wasn't quite ready to be living alone, with no distractions, so she offered to buy them a flat, and of course, Shareen accepted. Tonight though, she had gone out with a friend, which left the flat to Rose. As they arrived at her door Rose hesitated.
"Um, do you want a cup of tea?" she asked and watched as he hesitated and sighed, but eventually gave in.
"Um yeah sure. Only if you've got sugar, have you got sugar? I hope you have sugar."
"Yes I have sugar." Rose laughed and unlocked the door, allowing them in "Oh, but before we go in, I have to apologise for the mess." She laughed.
"Don't worry, my place is no better, nicks and nacks everywhere!" he smiled as they entered.

"Ok then, where have you travelled?" Rose asked as they sat down with a hot, steaming cup of tea.
"Oh everywhere." He smiled
"Like?"
"Um, America, Africa, Spain, Barcelona." He smiled, and Rose smiled also, thinking about when she always wanted to go to the planet.
"Sounds like fun." Rose smiled and moved closer to him.
"it is, not as much fun on my own though," he sighed and looked up at Rose, who was now only a couple of inches away from his face "I was thinking, next time I leave, you could come with me?" he suggested "I mean, I don't stay in one place very long, and it'll be fun wont it? Me and you? The two of us? Travelling to wherever we want?" he asked and Rose nodded.
"Yeah," she agreed "it would." She smiled and placed her cup down on the floor and moved even closer to him. Rose hesitated at first as she moved her lips closer to his, but decided to go for it until her lips met his in a soft and tender kiss. At first, she thought she had done something wrong when he pulled away, but after a moment he pulled her back in to another kiss.
As they kissed, all the Doctor could think was how wrong this was, he was getting too close to her, he needed to tell her who he really was, how would she react is she ever found out? Without him telling her? It didn't bear thinking about what she would do. He couldn't just leave though, not now he knew she was here, on his world, on Earth. He wouldn't let her out of his sight not whilst he was with her.
Unfortunately, the two of them were interrupted as someone came in to the room and cleared their throat, interrupting them. Rose looked up and saw and apologetic Shareen standing in the doorway.
"Shareen! Rose yelled and jumped up from the sofa "W-what are you doing back?"
"Sorry, I didn't realise- Um, I can leave." She suggested and the Doctor stood up next to Rose.
"No, no, no, don't worry about it; I had better be off now anyway," he interrupted and looked at Rose "see you soon." He smiled and this time kissed her on the cheek and made a swift exit.
"What do you see in him?" Shareen asked as soon as he had left "He's a bit odd."
"Nothing wrong with being odd, he's different, besides who wants to be normal?" Rose asked and Shareen simply shrugged her shoulders and something was itching her at the back of her mind.
"Um, I'll just be right back," she stuttered and edged away towards the door "Um, Nick from a few doors down owes me a tenner." She yelled as she left the flat and raced to go and trace 'John'. Luckily, he hadn't gotten that far and she followed him to his 'home' and Shareen gasped as she saw a blue box, one she used to see every time Rose would come home with that Doctor of hers. Shareen watched as he got closer to the box, eventually unlocking it. Swiftly, Shareen got out her phone and took a picture of him walking inside.
"Gotcha." She whispered as she caught him ran back to the flat before Rose wondered where she was. "Knew something was odd about him, wait till she sees this. She muttered to herself and walked in to the flat, ready to tell Rose.
Here you go, this took me SO long to write, I didn't know what to write lol
Again, hope eleven isn't too off, sorry if he is. Any tips on how to write him better? And here's a question for you all, how should Rose react? And what should the Doctor's excuse be?
