The Infernal Doctor

Confessions

          I sat alone in my room; thinking, wondering why we were still here. There was nothing troublesome going on, at least not to my knowledge. Why were we still here? Maybe I should ask the Doctor, but he was so happy I was finally speaking to him again. If there was something truly sinister going on, bringing it up would only dampen his mood. He was so happy, so full of life. I mean, he was always happy, but there was always this sort of darkness behind his eyes. Now, it was gone. I don't know why. Maybe it's this adventure. Nothing stressful going on, no reason for him to be worrying. Maybe that's why we weren't leaving. He was finally truly and utterly happy. Suddenly, there was a knocking at my door. "Come in," I called. The door opened and in came the Doctor. "Hello, Rose," he said cheerfully. "Hello, Doctor. What do you need," I said. "I don't need anything, I just wanted to see you," he said, his face softening. I tried to calm the butterflies in my stomach. I knew he didn't mean it in the way I hoped, and yeah, it still hurt; but I could deal with it. He came and sat on the bed, beside me. I was leaned against the head board, so he turned to the side so he could see my face. He had put his hand on my leg to help him turn, but when he stopped; he didn't move it. I sucked in a sharp breath but kept a smile on my face. He smiled at me sweetly. I could feel my heart thundering in my chest, but why was it thundering? He was just smiling at me, nothing was going on. That was when I noticed the fire in his eyes. They were smoldering, and he had this heated look the refused to let me look away. I could barely breathe, it was taking all my strength to suck in air. "Rose, there's something I need to tell you," he started. "I've been thinking lately, this time period and these people have made me think about what I want. I....haven't been with someone in such a long time, but I remember what it feels like to be in love. I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I have to tell you. I'm sorry that I kissed you, I know you don't feel that way about me, and I shouldn't have done it. I couldn't help myself. You were there and just so beautiful," he said, putting a hand to my cheek as I sat there dumb founded. "But Rose Tyler, I love you. I've loved you from the moment I met you. You're so strong and beautiful, and I can't imagine you not in my life. I.know.you don't feel the same way. After I kissed you, you were so cold towards me. You were so angry-" I cut him off before he could even finish that sentence. "I was angry because you ran away from me after you kissed me. I thought you had regretted it! I was angry because you made.me realize I love you," I shouted. His eyes lit up," You love me?" "Of course I do, you bloody idiot," I smiled. The minute the sentence left my mouth, his lips were on mine. His lips moved against mine fiercely. I kissed him as if it was my only chance, and for all I knew, it was. Eventually, he pulled away, leaving me gasping for breath. My cheeks were flushed, my heart racing. "I love you," he murmured. "I love you, too," I breathed. He smiled a smile of pure delight before placing a quick kiss on my lips. "Why don't we leave, they obviously don't need us here. Let's get back to travelling, saving the universe, and seeing times that have come and gone." "Of course," I murmured as he brought his lips back to mine.
