One True Love

Chapter 8

This chapter goes to my friend Alex. She has been there for me through a lot in the past few weeks, and she has had the patience to listen to me moan about stupid stuff. She is a fellow Kinglet, and she ships Yowzah. She also loves my story so far... So, thank you sweetie.

River slowly pushed the front door open, and tip-toed into the house. She put her black bag on the floor in front of the table that stood in the hallway.

She opened the draw quietly, trying not to make a single sound. Her breathing was shallow, short breaths. When she had opened the draw, she pulled out her gun. She hadn't planned on using it any time soon, and she sure didn't want to start shooting people.

River heard feet scuffling, and it was coming from the kitchen. What the hell can someone steal from a kitchen? she thought to herself.

She quietly crept along the hallway, still not making a sound. She leveled her gun, and make sure her arm was straight, when she reached the door that lead to the kitchen, it was slightly open. She lifted her leg and kicked the door open.

"Stop whatever the hell you are doing" River shouted as she kicked the kitchen door open, she pointed the gun right at the person stood in her parents kitchen.

The intruder spun around lifting his hands up, "Riv! River it's me" he said, "Put the damn gun down." 

River took a second look at the intruder and realized that it was he husband. River lowered her arm, "You complete idiot" she grunted, "I could have bleeding shot you" she glared at the Doctor, her hand wrapped tightly around her gun. River took a moment to look at her surroundings. There were flowers and candles every where, and the most amazing smell in the world. River put her gun on the kitchen worktop, "What.. Or who is this all for?" she asked. River was shocked, was all this for her? What had she done now? So many questions ran through her head. 

The Doctor walked over to River, she was stood in the exact same place, she didn't seem to move. He stood in front of her and took a hold of her hands, "Well..." the Doctor started, "This morning when you was saying how you loved looking after me. It made me think" he let go of River hands and pulled her close to him, River was looking deep into his eyes and her hands were placed on his chest, she could feel his hearts beating faster and faster with every second that ticked on the clock, "It made me realize how much I don't do for you, and you deserve better" he said, planting a kiss on her lips.

River smiled mid-kiss, and completely out of context she asked, "Why didn't you tell me about Brooklyn last night?" 

The Doctor smiled at her question, "Wibbley wobbley timey wimey" he replied, not sounding sure of himself. He let go of River and walked over to the kitchen table. It was beautifully set, there was a white tablecloth, two candles slowly burning, and there was a vase of red and white roses.

He pulled out a chair from under the table, he put one arm behind his back, "Please sit madame" he said in his best French accent.

River laughed at him, but she did as she was told, she walked over the chair and sat down.

The Doctor walked back over to the oven where two plates of food had been keeping warm. He took the plates and brought them back over to table and put one plate in fron of River and the other on the place-mat next to her. 

River looked at the plate, there was a chicken and bacon pasta dish, smothered in a creamy white sauce, it looked delicious.

He took the wine bottle out of the wine cooler, he popped the cork as he asked, "Wine Professor Song?" River smiled at him with her million dollar smile as she nodded at his question.
