Myself and Mr Smith

That Book In The Corner

"For gods sake Shaun I am not pregnant, anyway if I was then who with?" i've this a stern yet sarcastic look.

"Honestly I wouldn't know is it-" I cut him off because he was starting to bore me.

"Shaun we have a very important person coming over"

he gave a very confused look, but that did just remind of his usual facial expressions. but I looked at the mess the flat was in, I walked over to the kitchen( all open plan living, love it!!) and started staring at the piles of dishes and mugs, plates bowles etc.

Shaun started approaching me while holding his knee, he stopped behind the couch and stared at me with all yet confusing to me.

"Who is this visitor? I mean it cant be the queen is it?" he sad it with calm and reassuring voice.

"well it's Matt-" and I was cut of by the sound of the buzzer for someone trying to get in. I turned around and walked to the phone, lifted it up and spoke the words, " hello, who is it that im speaking to?"

the continued to to answer and the a shush came from the phone, I looked at Shaun and shrugged , I didn't know who it was until I was about to hug up the phone and they said"Matt,". I was in disbelief and rang him in pressing the buzzer twice, I shoved past Shaun into my bedroom and quickly took my bag and jacket hat , gloves scarves ect, and placed them onto the bed. I looked up into the mirror added a little gloss and fixed my auburn hair which is hat hair but I made it work.

the door was chapped and Shaun opened the door, then slammed it.

"who was that?" I asked trying to pretend I never knew.

well his face was in disbelief, he preached me and grabbed my arms and whispered, " Matt Smith" and he looked back at the door.

I let myself go and opened the door, with the biggest fake smile I had on, I opened it with much ease and let him in.

"sorry Im a bit early" he looked around, the easel in the corner another thing I haven't yet finished, and I showed my arms to the couch. he sat down crossing his leg on top of the other. I shut the door and walked behind the couch where Shaun was making drastic arm movements behind me.

I grappled Shaun arm and pulled him away into the kitchen area, I put the kettle on and asked, "coffee?" he turned around and smiled with, "black, 2 sugars"

"how are you anyways Miss O'shea?"

"im fine thank you, yourself?"

"very well, I believe we haven't met?" he stood up approached the breakfast bunker and placed his hand out, I nudged Shaun and the shook hands.

" I believe we haven't."

I placed the coffee on the bunker and slid a coaster underneath it, I wasn't staining my table.

" im so sorry, im Matt" still his eyes were gazed at me, his sweet eyes.

"Shaun Lo" and there hands let go.

there both looked at each other and then it was me that caught each of theres eyes, i couldnt help but feel insicure. Did I have something on my face? But then a smile came from both of them. I was still unsure how Matt got here so quickly, i thought he was driving but that doesn't really matter, though it would of gave me time to clean up and everything.

"Petal, I was wondering if you wanted something?" Matt eyes were glimmered in the light, those hazel eyes, just they way the glimmered gave me shivers.

"Uh, erm, yeah sure" I hesitated, i looked over and matt was aproaching the coffee table, there was a bag, a little but theres was something wrapped up tightly in it, Matt came back and passed it to me, i took it and opened it up, it was wrapped in brown wrapping papper with string, it looked very old fashioned. I held up and Matt and Shaun waited for me to open it up, Matt heads gestured that i should open it. I did with as much gracefullness as possible, but it wasn't working and i ruipped it open like a child on christmas day, i felt so good. As I opened it up, it was a book, but what one then. 'To Time and Beyond' appeared, it was a limited edition copy, the art work was amazing, and it looked very nice, then i opened it up and it was author's signed, i mean it read; "To Petal, I am very lucky to here that you enjoy my book ever since you were a little girl, i see you have met your own time lord, As in the words of myself, One never knows how it feels intill they have met a physicist or Time lord themself, Petal you have done that and congradulations on that" W.M Headley. Ps. "My name is Walton. Micheal Headley sshhhh. very few know" I can't believe that i got a author signed copy of my favourite book ever and that he told me his name, this is something i could only imagine, i just pretty jelous that matt met him and i never. I gasped and placed my hand over my mouth, Shaun and Matt looked worried, a tear fell from my eye and I looked down and up, i couldn't believe that this was happing, i honestly can't believe that this has just happeneD.

"Thank you, i can't i just-" I hesitated and looked up to see a smiling Shaun and Matt, i couldn't believe that this has just happened, i may be over emphasiszing it but i did!!!!!

I got a big smile of Matt and Shaun which was reasuring that i know that they aren't worried for my sake, god, honestly if i had a penny fopr evertime someone did that for me, i would have 1 pence.

"I see you like it?" asked Matt aproaching me.

While trying to keep myself together i finally did it and well i opned my mouth and this came out; "Yes, god Yes! I love it" I umped onto Matt and gave him the biggest hug i have ever given someone, i started falling apart in his arms and i just started crying my eyes out.

I could her foot steps from where Shaun was standing, i wasn't sure if he left or not, but my only guess was that he did leave. I let go of Matt and started wiping my eyes, i looked like a panda( I personally loved that look you know?) But i looked up at Matt, His eyes gazed into mines he held my face with his strong hands and leaned in.... When all of a sudden the buzzer went for the phone. We let go, loojking at each other in a very strange way. I walked over to the phone and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Petal it's Aubrey, i hope i can come up?" She seemed a lot more cheerful than this morning.

"Yeah, sure that absolutley fine" i rang her in. I walked over to Matt to try and finish what was going to happen but i was never going to feel the same, How cliched.

A Knock

A second Knock

"I'm coming. give me a minute" I said approaching the door and opening to Aubrey, she didn't even get past the door when i just hugged her tight. Shaun Slowly walked through and stood there. I let go of Aubrey and walked to Matt sipping the coffee i made him, with his back facing the action. I nudged Matt and we left into My room( Nothing was going to happen guys) I didn't shut the door fully i wanted to hear Shaun and Aubrey, i was a nosy creature but awe well.

"Shaun i am so sorry" i slowley walked towards him.

"Aubrey, Please. Let it go" i tried to touch his arm softly and he pushed me away like a animal.

"I'm honestly very sorry Shaun, I feel horrible"

"How was Broadway?" He said avoiding any eye contact act with me.

"It was good, but don't change the subject"

He stood there twiddling his thumbs and I was very nervous, I looked like a train wreck an Shaun wasn't helping. Shaun doesn't know what happened within Broadway and he won't. I feel quite embarrassed that what I have done to get the job I've always wanted.

There was some awkward silence between us but I knew Petal was listening so I kept it short and snappy.

"Shaun you will never know but I'm sorry" I left him, I walked towards the door and stood waiting for a reaction though not looking at him. He did nothing. You could hear a pin drop, I left and shut the door behind me.

I left crying my eyes out he will never know.

"Matt shut up!" I said jokingly; "I want to hear"

"Sorry" he said sarcastically.

We listened carefully nothing but a door slam, had Shaun left? Or was it Aubrey? I looked at Matt and he shrugged at me to say I don't know.

Sometimes I hate living with Shaun because he never happy, it's either Aubrey this or his friend Thomas makes him go out of dates and ends up in one night stands (usually, not always) which doesn't help the situation at all.
