I woke up the next morning dazed and confused. I looked around the room and at the overflowing hamper of laundry. Rose's room. I was in Rose's room.
Wait, what?, I thought, Why am I in Rose's room? And why am I in her bed?
I looked over at the pick and yellow human. She was draped in covers only her head and shoulders could be seen. There was nothing covering her shoulders.
Then the reality of the night before hit me. I couldn't help the goofy smile that plastered itself onto my face. I reached over and wrapped my arms around Rose.
Her muscles tensed up instantly and her eyes shot open before quickly coming to rest on my face. A look of confusion was splayed across her facial features.
"Umm", she started to say, "Doctor? Is there a reason you are in my bed?"
I looked at her, "Uh, Rose-"
Her eyes suddenly widened and her pupils dilated, "Last night".
"Uh", I pursed my lips, suddenly fearing she was regretting everything, "Yeah".
I let go of her and turned away.
I reached to the floor and grabbed my trousers, my pants no where in sight. I pulled then on under the covers and carefully zipped the zipper before buttoning the button. I carefully removed myself from the covers before walking out the door, not even bothering to get the remainder of my clothing.
How could I have let this happen? Stupid, stupid Doctor. Thick, thick Doctor, I thought as I walked to the console room.
I grabbed my trench coat off of one of the coral strut nearby, before swinging it on.
I busied myself with some useless tinkering under the console, anything to take my mind off of Rose and last night.
About three hours later and no sight of Rose I started to get worried. Even if she was upset she never stayed away this long. Something was off and I could feel it.
I made my way to the door that lead into her room. I stopped for a moment and thought about how nice it felt to pin her to the door last night. He body pressed up against mine.
Stop it, I chided myself, Those kind of thought are exactly what got you into this mess.
I knocked on the door to her room.
No answer.
"Rose", I said quietly.
No answer.
I started to get worried.
"Rose, are you in there?", I received a small hum of affirmation from the TARDIS.
Still there was no reply from the room, although I thought I could hear breathing from the other side of the door.
"Rose", I said my voice barely a whisper, "Can I come in?".
I heard the lock latch.
