Rose felt like she was flying as she ran but the second they were outside and the cold air hit her so did what just happened.
"I can't believe I did that... I don't even- I just saw you and me... but it wasn't always you, was it? And- And I don't even know you!" She burst out, letting go of his hand and backing away from him.
"Shh, it's okay.I promise. You do know me, well, you will know me, well, you'll know the first me first and then... You know what? Doesn't matter. You'll see it all and you will understand. Everything you saw was real. You and me, hand in hand, like we should be." He reached out as he spoke, holding her by the shoulders and pulling her back towards him.
Rose just stared at him, hyperventilating until his eyes caught hers and everything inside her calmed down again. The feeling of deja vu returned and she saw a swirl of golden light surrounding everything while she kept looking at the Doctor and the only thing she could think was "my Doctor".
He smiled like he could hear it too. "This was always the best and worst part..." He murmured, leaning down close, he put his hands on the sides of her head before kissing her deeply. "Rose Tyler, I love you ." He whispered, as her eyes closed.
Rose woke to the sound of her alarm blaring. She smashed down the snooze button without opening her eyes, fervently wishing she had a sledgehammer when it went off again five minutes later.
She'd had the strangest dream. She'd dreamed that she'd almost married Jimmy, although that bit was true, but his best man had been this tall, handsome stranger with eyes that danced with stars. He had been the one to stop her marriage instead of reality when a drunk Jimmy had blathered on and on about his latest poker game just before throwing up on the judge.
That had been enough for Rose to finally come to her senses and walk out on the creep. He would be fine. She'd seen phone number written in girly, bubble handwriting on the playing card in his pocket.
Rose closed her eyes, flopping back onto her pillows and tried to catch the dream that had almost completely faded. She just wanted to see the best man's eyes again. What was his name? Dr. Something. Rose laughed at herself as she got ready for work. Ha! As if she'd ever get a doctor!
