Donna awoke a few hours later feeling a bit disorientated, she was in her bed but the double heartbeat she felt on her back was unexpected as was the arm around her waist. Without turning around she knew that it was the Doctor that lay behind her and according to his steady breath he was sleeping. Moving slowly around to face him she studied his face as he slept replaying the previous day’s events in her mind.

She felt shame wash over her as she remembered her actions and thoughts. How could she doubt the Doctor’s friendship and admiration for her, he had told her so many times that she was brilliant, so why was it so hard for her to believe him. Now if she could just remove the feelings of love that were emerging in her heart for the alien that lay next to her.

A croaked voice brought her out of her inner musings, “How are you feeling this morning?”

Smiling down at him she replied, “Much better thanks.”

Rising up to get off the bed Donna felt herself held down by the strong grasp of the Doctor, “Donna we need to talk.”

Not wanting to face her actions or her feelings she brushed him off, “Listen Doctor, I am sorry that I caused you to worry I am fine now. I just need to stay on my medication.”

“What changed Donna?” the Doctor asked ignoring her reply.

“I don’t know what you are talking about spaceman, nothing has changed.” Donna tried to circumvent his questions.

“Donna, don’t lie to me, I think we are beyond lying to each other.” He replied allowing the frustration he was feeling to be heard in his words.

Wrestling out of his grasp, “I don’t want to talk about it.”

Sitting up on the bed he grabbed the pill bottle and held it up to her, “Donna, you said that you stopped taking these when we first started to travel together and you were fine. I demand to know what changed.”

Bristling Donna spat, “You demand, I am not some sort of child that needs looking after.”

“Obviously you are in need of being looked after especially if you feel you need to take these again!” He retorted allowing the anger to hide his hurt because she wouldn’t talk to him.

“Get out of my room!” Donna yelled jumping off the bed, pointing to the door.

“I am not leaving till you tell me what has changed, love!!” the Doctor responded just as loudly as he stood up to face her.

Donna stared at him wondering if she heard right. She whispered, “What did you just say?”

Realizing what he just said, he responded knowing what she was questioning, “I said love.”

“Why did you say that?”

Rubbing his hands through his hair he stammered, “Listen, things have changed between us, I have sensed it… we are different.”

Donna walked up to him and tentatively caressed his cheek, “Yes, things have changed. We are different so what are we going to do about it.”

He brushed her hair off her shoulder. Cupping her neck bringing her face close to his, “I am not sure, but I think we should take it one day at a time.”

Sighing Donna stated sadly as her breath ghosted his lips, “I am not ready for this yet.”

“Then I will wait till you are ready.” he replied kissing her lips very softly.

Moving away from her, he gathered his things while setting the pills back on the side table; resolving to allow Donna the time she needed. Smiling at her he stated “I am going to make some tea.’

Returning his smile Donna replied, “Okay I will be there shortly.”

After he left the room Donna walked up to the pill container, opening the lid she took two pills out then stopped. Placing the white tablets back into the container she closed the lid and placed the bottle in the drawer. 

Walking to the bathroom she smiled, she may not be ready yet but she hoped to be ready soon.

Of course licking parties are always grand.
