Author's note: Hi, so after the past couple of chapters being kind of sad I thought I do one with some fluff.
Enjoy! :)
When We Fall: Misunderstanding:
David stood outside Rose's window. He was taking a risk by being here, there was a chance he would have to face Pete or even worse, Jackie again but he was the one who screwed up by not showing up for their date. David looked around the yard it was dark and he wasn't sure what time it was, 8:15 P.M, maybe? It didn't matter. What mattered was talking to Rose.
He took a deep breath and threw a pebble at her window. No answer. After throwing another one a light came on and Rose opened the window not looking happy. "Blimey, what do you want?" She scowled leaning out.
"Please Rose, let me explain." He begged. She arched her eyebrow. "You want me to get Tony to throw more cold water on you?" David sighed exasperated. This was not going to be easy, he could tell.
"Please just one chance?" He said with pleading eyes. Rose should've gone back in and left him out there instead she studied him a minute before nodding and going back inside.
A minute later Rose came out, arms folded still wearing her pink t-shirt and blue jeans, her outfit for their date. David swallowed feeling worse than he had before.
"Yes?" She said plainly.
"Rose," He sighed. "I'm sorry, I know I messed up. I was running late." She scoffed. "I waited an hour for you," She pointed accusingly. "You could've called. Where were you, anyway?"
David frowned puzzled by her question. "I told you." Rose shook her head. "No, you didn't." David scoffed a little. "Yes, I did. I left a message on your phone that I got my dates mixed up and my test was today."
"Test?" She said confused. David nodded. "Yeah, for the internship." Rose relaxed her arms, her expression softened. "That was today?" "Yeah, well, I thought it was tomorrow but I got it wrong so…I-I left a message that it was today and that there was a chance I might not make for our date." He shrugged. "I thought you got it or at least somebody would get it."
She suddenly felt silly. "No, I couldn't have. Dad took my phone I-" Her sentence trailed realizing she had messed up. "I'm sorry." She said softly. He smiled slightly. "It's okay, I should've kept an eye on the time but mum and dad insisted on celebrating tonight and I-"
"You mean you passed?" She interjected carefully. He nodded grinning.
"Oh, David!" Rose squealed hugging his neck nearly tipping him backwards. "I knew you could do it, luv." She whispered. He just grinned quickly embracing her back.
Rose pulled back slowly smiling sheepishly. "Sorry about the water thing, that was Tony's idea not mine."
He smirked. "That's okay; it was hot in that building, anyway. I needed to cool off." She bit her lower lip moving her hands under his jacket collar. "You did look good wet, though." He wiggled his eyebrows grinning as he pulled her closer. "Glad you approve." David kissed her nose.
She giggled and rested her cheek on his chest and smiled. "I'm so glad you past your test." David kissed the top of her head. He was glad to have her in his arms, again. "Am I forgiven?" He asked carefully. Rose responded by delicately brushing her lips against his sending pleasant shivers through him. "Guess that's yes.'" He smirked. She smiled biting her lower lip.
David then looked at her questionably. "Just curious why did Pete take away your phone?" She briefly lowered her head embarrassed. "I dropped it in the sink while I was doing dishes." He gave an understanding nod. "Ah, I see."
"Yeah, he's getting a replacement, tomorrow." Rose explained. She glanced up. "I'm sorry I got mad, I should have realized you had a good reason for not showing up." Rose said softly.
David shook his head. "I'm sorry, I upset you," He gently rubbed her cheek with his thumb. "That's the last thing I ever want to do." He said softly before leaning down giving her a tender kiss.
After the kiss Rose smiled up at him touching his lower lip. She was so proud of him for pasting his test. She knew how important it was. "It's alright," She sighed. "I just wish we could celebrate." "Well, maybe we can." He replied. Rose tilted her head curious. "What do you mean?"
"They're still having the party back at the house would like to come with me?" David asked. She grinned. "Give me a second!" Rose ran back inside to ask Jackie before coming back out with her purse and now wearing a yellow t-shirt and her hair done up in a messy ponytail.
He smiled. "Rose Tyler, you look beautiful." David dramatically bowed. "Why, thank you, Doctor David." Rose curtsied making him smirk.
He reached out his hand and she smiled shyly taking it and they walked back to his house for the party.
