Part 2//Friends
David's P.O.V.

"Alright. Let me go grab some coffee for the both of us." Rose said. While she skipped off to make us some coffee, I watched her work ethic. She hummed as she went from place to place, fixing two cups for the both of us. She had a little spring in her step, obviously happy to be working here. I liked her messy hairstyle, and the way she worked. And her face...

"Here we are then." Rose said, handing me my cup and sitting across from me, startling me out of my thoughts. I jumped slightly and she laughed. "Bit jumpy now, are we Sir Doctor?" She said with a laugh.

"Just... Doctor. Or David is fine too." I said quickly, a pink flush spreading across his cheeks.

"David it is." She said with a smile. It was so gorgeous, with one crooked tooth. She'd sometimes smile with her tongue between them, which made me even more attracted to her than I already am.

"So uh, Rose. Do you live near here?" I asked her, trying to shake off the thought. It just kept creeping back in.

"Yeah, I live about a mile down that way. I like to walk here, I just didn't have much time this morning so I drove." She said, folding her fingers together in front of her. She hadn't yet touched her coffee, and I just realized I hadn't touched mine either.

"And you?" She asked me. I sipped my coffee slowly.

"Nah. I live maybe an hour or two west. It's a bit of a drive." I said, taking another sip. Rose took a sip of hers as well.

"So you must have to wake up real early then." She said with a laugh.

"Yeah, I'm used to it though." I said with a half smile.

"Oh, alright." Rose smiled back, placing both hands on the table in front of her. I looked down at them. No ring on her finger.

"Do you live with your parents?" I asked her.

"Parent. And no." She corrected me, avoiding eye contact.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I replied, reaching across the table to hold her hand. I was worried she would find it weird, but she took it, looking up into my eyes.

"It's alright." She said, looking down at her hand in mine, realizing what she was doing. She withdrew her hand. "Uh, sorry."

I ran my hand through my hair awkwardly. "No, it's quite alright." I replied. "My fault anyways."

I finished off my coffee, embarrassed that I was too focused on flirting with her to drink it. She had finished hers a while back.

"Oh wow, it's already 7. You know, I should get going. See you tomorrow, David." She said, getting up. I got up right after her, not sure if I should hug her or kiss her or what... Instead I just took her hand and shook it.

"Pleasure. Bright and early tomorrow. And hey," I paused, debating whether I should ask her out or just keep it at a friendship level.

I was her boss. I shouldn't even think this way. "Why don't we do this again tomorrow, hm?" I asked her, mentally facepalming myself for being such an awkward dork about it.

To my surprise, she laughed slightly and nodded. "Yeah, that sounds great. Bye David." She said again, and then walked out.

I buried my head in my hands. What had I just done? I mean, I really liked her but it was wrong. I had to stop this.

But I couldn't.

The daily hour long meetings quickly turned to meetings every break that she had. My feelings for her grew more and more every day as we talked and laughed, until they became undeniable. I was completely and utterly in love with Rose Tyler.

I promoted her to working at the counter. The hand holding became a more frequent thing. I would get back every night around midnight and have to wake up a few hours after that, but wouldn't care, because I got to see Rose.

Eventually, during one of our late night meetings when nobody was around, I decided to ask her out. Like, on a real date that wasn't inside the coffee shop where somebody could see us together.

She was cleaning the counters and preparing our cups of coffee when I asked.

"Hey Rose..." I trailed off as she sat across from me and handed me my coffee.

"Yeah David?" Her hand closed around mine as I took the cup from her. I felt blush creep to my cheeks.

"I was wondering," I paused again to wipe the sweat from my free hand on my pants. Her hand was still on top of mine. "If you wanted to like, actually go out sometime." I swallowed, and her eyes went wide.

"What do you say?" I asked nervously.
