Chapter 15 - 'The Early Days...'

Clara's PoV

My father makes out like he had no idea that I had a boyfriend. The Maitland's and him knew, along with most of my family, so if they saw The Doctor they would recognise him.

Which is mainly why I threw him out. They were the only people who did know about him, because aside from them he never really met Nina or Adrien or any of my other friends so they don't really know what or who to look out for.

'Okay, I'm having a mare here. Which dress will look better?' I asked panicking.

I can't believe I had left it to the last minute. 'I dunno, which ever one will make you look just as beautiful' he complemented which was cute, but I really needed an answer.

'Ahh, screw it. Your opinion is biased anyway' I said grunting, trying to pack a suitcase.

We were going in the Tardis, because it makes life easier and we would just tell people we had come up by train, but really and truly I don't think he would have the patience of a train.

We're meeting my dad at the church this afternoon at half 12 for a 1 o clock start, only problem is... I still haven't told him about the Doctor.

Thank goodness though, that George will be there. He hasn't bought Angie and Artie, but he likes the Doctor, so at least two people in the room will like him.

'How do I look?' I asked him as I came out the bathroom. I had (in the end) gone with a blue dress with silver glitter swirls on it, that sits just above my knee.

I had tan coloured tights on and silver high heels. I wrapped my white scarf around my neck and put my leather jacket on.

His mouth dropped. It was rather flattering actually.

'Put your tongue away chin boy' I said smirking and adjusted his bow tie, under his scarf.

'Hey In these heels, it's chin to head, not chest to head' I said excitedly and he laughed.

'Ooh, wait. Lipgloss' I said and ran back in the bathroom. I repositioned my curls on my shoulders, finished my make up, put the raspberry lipgloss on (of which he loves) and sprayed the perfume as I came out the bathroom door.

'Jesus, it smells like a perfume factory exploded in here' he said when he walked out after having sprayed his stuff.

I love the way he smells. I never really considered how he obviously uses sprays and aftershave but I never really got the behind the scenes look before.

I suppose he thought the same for me. 'You look great' he said as I came to the hotel door.

'Thanks' I said blushing and he wrapped his arms around me for a moment. I leant up and he didn't have far to lean down this time because of the heels.

I kissed him and he tasted like he smelt. I could really smell his shampoo this time, as he had just showered I guess.

I leant away after several comfortable minutes and giggled.

'What?' He asked confused. 'You've got lipgloss on now' I said going back to the bathroom to reapply it, seeing as he had more of it on him than me now.

He wiped it away and grimaced at the taste of it. 'You like the way my lipgloss tastes?' I asked confused.

'Yeah, on you. Not on me' he said and we left the hotel eventually. We were running 10 minutes late at this point and actually didn't get to the church until quarter to 1 but at least we were on time.
