Rose was not abandoned

Chapter 16

Once they were in her office, she locked the door and pushed Alec onto the large leather sofa as he pulled her down with him and he unzipped her jeans and kissing her. "Rose, I still love you, more than ever but we shouldn't do this here, let's just have a brilliant snogging session, we can make up for it later. Your dad is a very powerful man Rose and so is your friend Jake, I would never have thought they could get us out of that one. Does he really know the Police Commissioner?" Rose nodded. "Well, I'm impressed but there is one thing my sweet."

Rose wasn't interested in talking, she had been denied her morning snogging session and she wanted to get down to business so Alec had to wait to ask his question as Rose was moaning softly as her secretary was in the outer office so she was having to suppress the urge to make more noise so she nuzzled into Alec's neck and sucked at the skin, making it go red as he moved into her.

They had to make it just a short session but it kept Rose happy until she got him back home, that was if he passed the Jackie challenge which very few men had actually done but she reckoned he was more than a match for her mother. They pulled up their underwear and jeans, Rose getting some tissues just in case and they sat on the sofa kissing for a bit longer then Rose gathered her things out of her desk, she didn't keep much and Alec asked if her poor secretary worked seven days a week. Rose laughed and said they were two of them, one worked four days and the other three days but she didn't work many weekends but needed someone to take her calls if she diverted them. She said all management had two secretaries and after work hours calls were taken by the security team.

Just as Rose was about to leave, her buzzer went and she was told by her secretary that Mickey was wanting to see her. She wondered how he had known she was in her office, Jake wouldn't have told him but her mother might have done, Jackie wasn't known for being subtle. Rose was just glad he'd not got there twenty minutes earlier when they were snogging amongst other things. She said to send him in and to let her step-father know she would join him in reception but may be a bit late.

Mickey clearly was expecting Rose to be alone and the look on his face when he saw Alec sitting on the sofa was priceless. He did a double take and stood for a minute taking Alec in. Then he laughed. "What's he doing here? When did he get here? How?" He had his mouth wide open, gawking as Alec got up and shook his hand.

"You must be Mickey, Rose has told me all about you, I'm Alec."

Mickey found his voice again. "You mean he's not The Doctor? Rose but he looks just like him except maybe the beard but there again, it has been eight years. How can you look like him? Hang on, does he even know?"

"Yes, I know, Rose has told me everything including where you and her mother come from, I'm a Police Detective, I worked most of it out."

Rose was curious because they had been all over the news and the press a few hours ago and Mickey wasn't even bothered.

"Mickey, did you not see or read the news this morning?" Mickey shook his head and said he had a hangover this morning. Rose was relieved but that didn't mean he wouldn't see then or the retraction statement. All she said was "Never mind, you'll see them sooner or later. Alec and I are going out to lunch with my dad and Jake so you'll have to excuse us."

Rose stepped away from her desk and Alec got up to take the box Rose had put on her desk to take with her. Mickey noticed. "You going somewhere? You're leaving aren't you?" Rose nodded and put her arm into Alec's free one.

"Yes, I'm going back to Broadchurch with Alec tomorrow. I know I want to be there now. Come round for Sunday lunch tomorrow before we leave but we'll be coming back to get the rest of my things. We really have to go now. Come on Alec, I've got everything I need to take with me and dad hates to be kept waiting. Bye Mickey."
