Lollipop, by The Chordettes, as requested by Yani Cardaria, because I've given her too much angst in one night.
How she managed to get back to him, he had no clue. He desperately wanted to ask, but he was a bit too busy just holding her at the moment.
"Rose," he breathed, her scent flooding his senses.
"Hello, Doctor," She murmured, somewhere near his collarbone.
After not nearly enough time, he pulled away, looking her over slowly, taking in every part of her. She was still as perfect, as beautiful, as he remembered.
"Like the new face…" Rose offered, looking him over in the same was he was looking at her. She reached up and brushed his bowtie. "'Specially the bow tie."
The Doctor grinned. "Come on, let me get you a cuppa!" He grabbed her hand and went running for the kitchen, pulling her along and grinning at the sound of her laughter.
While Rose sat at the table waiting, the Doctor searched his cupboards. His completely bare cupboards. "Er…" he murmured sheepishly, turning to her. "Seems I've forgotten to do the shopping for a bit…care for a lolli?" He offered, holding up a fistful of the candies. Rose walked over to him to inspect them. "I've got lime, apple, cinnamon, cherry…what's your favorite flavor?"
Rose bit her lip for a moment, as if deciding, then leaned up on her tip toes to press her lips softly to his. "I like this flavor," she murmured.
It would be a very long time before the Doctor remembered to go out and get tea.
Thanks to everyone who followed, favorited, and reviewed!
Until next time!
