So if you read the reviews it looks like i've reviewed my own story...nice one Sammy!! Anyway watcha gonna do, can't choose your family lol.

Anyway please enjoy. x

"That was delightful Rose" Cal muttered as he wiped his forefinger seductively across his lips. Rose giggled slightly, a blush forming across her cheekbones. Rose couldn't help but suddenly feel flustered, her lips tingled slightly from the recent pressure, something she had not felt in a long time. If only the pressure had been given from the Doctor.

"Don't mean to pry, but aren't you engaged?" The Doctor asked rather bitterly as he leant forward as if integrating the man.

"I was yes, but no longer" He replied absentmindedly, his eyes not moving from Rose or her luscious lips, something the Doctor did not miss.

"Can I ask why?" The Doctor was determined not be forgotten, he would not let this man just swoop in and dazzle Rose with his charming and witty behaviour. Cal's eyes finally snapped away from Rose, his gaze cutting deeply through The Doctor.

"She seems to be more infatuated with another, it's disgusting really, he's a peasant" Cal chuckled at the mere thought of it "Besides I have found something much more wondrous" With that he returned his gaze to Rose. "Would you like to dance?" Cal asked before The Doctor could think of another question.

"Erm-" Rose hesitated slightly as she let her eyes drift towards The Doctor.

"I wonder if they do banana dackeries." He mumbled to himself as he looked around eagerly for a waiter.

"I'd love to" Rose remarked, her tone harsher than usual.

"Brilliant" Cal uttered as he lifted himself from his chair and pulled Rose to her feet.

The Doctor watched intently as Rose was led to the dance floor and a smug looking Cal finally placed one hand upon her hip, letting it slip a little lower than he should have.

She's just your friend, Rose. Your friend.

He continued to repeat the statement in his mind as he watched the pair dance, Rose glided around the floor gracefully, whilst Cal's mind was obviously elsewhere and his eye's were where they shouldn't be. The Doctor grinded his teeth together as the rage boiled through him, Rose's laugh echoed through the room as Cal pulled her body closer to his own. He let out a deep breath as he unclenched the fists he hadn't even noticed were clenched.

He just wanted her to be safe, and he truly didn't trust this man, he didn't seem right, he seemed fake. Well that was the excuse he was using for his hatred towards him. It couldn't be anything else, could it?

The Doctor shook his head and rose from the table, winding through the tables and chairs, walking through the doors and corridors until the welcoming, cool, fresh air hit him. He closed his eyes as his mind relaxed a little, his anger slowly dispersing through his long breaths.

"Are you ok?" Her soft voice broke through the silence, his rage evaporating completely at the sweet sound. The best sound in the world if the Doctor was concerned. He turned around as he felt her press a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Yep, I'm always fine me." This, for Rose, clearly said 'no, I'm not at all fine' but Rose wouldn't push the matter; she never would. If there was something he needed to say, he would say it, or so she hoped.

"You sure?" She thought one last probe was in order.

"Yep" He replied, cheerily popping his 'P' "Where's Cal?" He questioned desperate to change the subject.

"Oh I left him in there, he was gettin' a bit touchy feely" She giggled heartily.

"Oh" Was all he could say as he turned his back to her, walking to the rail, making sure to mask the unavoidable anger in his eyes.

"It's beautiful out here" Rose stated as she walked to The Doctors side, her eyes gazing into the darkness of the ocean. The sound of the waves playing peacefully against her ears. Her head swung backwards as she looked towards the glistening stars, each one glowed with an ominous twinkle. She had always loved watcing the stars, but now she had been to some of them they seemed even more exquisite.

The Doctor watched her smile softly as she studied each star intently, she really was the perfect companion and he was incredibly lucky to have her in his life. He frowned slightly a shiver ran through her.

"You're cold, you should go in" He spoke casually as he looked down at her.

"No" She said immediately as she met his gaze. "It's too gorgeous out here," She added softly as looked back into the darkness that seemed awfully inviting. The Doctor said nothing in return but instinctively pulled off his suit jacket and wrapped it around her, she turned round to face him as he pulled the lapels around her neck. He smiled widely as he rubbed his hands up and down her forearms in quick warming motions.

"Thanks" She muttered softly, her eyes falling upon his lips.

"No problem" He murmured in a hoarse whisper as his eyes mirrored hers.

"Rose?" Cal's voice called across the deck as the pair jumped apart. "Rose, there you are, I've been looking all over for you."

"Oh hi." Rose muttered, a hint of resentment in her tone. But she brushed her hair from her face and turned round to face him.

"Care to join me in the dinner hall again?" There was bitterness in his tone that Rose was certain was aimed at The Doctor.

"Erm, Doctor do you mind?" The Doctor snapped his eyes down to meet her, she looked suddenly serious, as if pleading with him to protest, to keep her with him.

"Not at all, go have fun" He retorted happily as he loosened his tie.

"Splendid, come Rose!" Cal held his hand out to Rose as she kept her eyes on The Doctor for a little while longer. She pursed her lips slightly as if trying to decipher something and then she left, leaving only the smell of her perfume. The Doctor shook his head once more as he ran his hands through his hair, when did things get so complicated?
