THE LOVE OF THE DOCTOR
POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE
Jackie had invited the Doctor and Rose into the flat, where she instinctively made three cups of tea. Not forgetting the Doctor's four sugars!
The Doctor hadn't exactlly wanted to hang around, but Rose had persuaded him to stay for her. Promising to leave first thing in the morning. He had reluctantly agreed!
"So Doctor, what took you so long?" Asked Jackie, as she brought in the warm drinks.
Capturing his from Jackie's grips, he answered.
"What took me so long?" Rose couldn't help but laugh at the Doctor's stupidness!
"Oh, you meant getting here?, Complete accident, should never have happened!"
Rose stared at him.
"A happy accident though, i promise!" Again Rose laughed at him. "How long has it been for you?"
Rose looked suddenly sollem, almost heartbroken. The Doctor grabbed her hand reassuringly. "Rose?"
"It's been ten years Doctor! Ten long years!" A lone tear travelled down her left cheek, which the Doctor instantly wiped away with his thumb. He gently pulled her into his arms, as she sobbed into his chest! A thought came into his head. Where's his human self? He thought that maybe he should wait before he asked.
