DIARY OF A HALF HUMAN TIME LORD

Chapter Nineteen

Pete Tyler was fuming and everyone knew it. The other employees weren't exactly sure why he was so enraged, only that he kept muttering to himself about Rose being irresponsible as he went about his usual duties at Torchwood. Finally, Luke Billingsly, his co-worker and good friend, couldn't hold in his curiosity any longer. He managed to corner him in the large white breakroom where Pete was sitting at a table in the corner sipping tea and staring into space. Pete was startled when Luke sat down was a small styrofoam cup of tea and a cheeseburger.

"Mate, are you alright? You've been techy all mornin'. What's wrong?" he asked.

Pete regarded him silently for a moment. Unlike most of the other employees, Pete was fairly young, mid-twenties with sandy blonde hair that came down to the nape of his neck in back, piercing blue eyes and a thin build that reminded Pete of the Doctor's body. In fact, Pete swore that Luke and the Doctor probably could wear the same clothes. He was dressed in a blue shirt, grey trousers and had on the usual white lab coat with his ID card clipped onto the pocket near his heart. Alot of the other employees stayed away from him because he was young and inexperienced but Pete had taken him under his wing and helped train him and they quickly formed a firm friendship. He suspected the others, knowing that, sent him in to inquire about Rose. Pete took a sip of tea and stared out the window for a moment while he calmed himself down and collected his thoughts.

"My daughter called early this mornin'. Said she was ill and takin' a day off from work," Pete finally said.

"Oh, is she alright?" Luke asked, concerned.

Pete snorted.

"Oh, I'm sure she's perfectly fine," he said flippantly. "I'm sure she's havin' the time of her life right now."

"How'd ya mean, mate?"

Pete rolled his eyes.

"She has a boyfriend."

Luke's eyes widened in understanding.

"Ah, I see, skivving off to have a shag with the boyfriend, eh?" he said, grinning as he nudged him.

"I don't find anything funny about it," Pete said darkly.

"Aw, go easy on her. She's young. I'm sure you did the same thing when you were her age," Luke said.

"No, I didn't because my father impressed upon me the importance of being responsible. The reason I'm so upset is the boyfriend she has is anything but responsible. The man is reckless and a danger to her."

"You mean he might do something to get her arrested?"

"I mean he might do something to get her killed."

Luke stared at him, shocked.

"Blimey, are you sure?"

"Not one hundred percent but this man has a...twin brother and Rose used to date him as well and that man was wild and reckless and irresponsible and she nearly lost her life a couple of times so I'm sure it'll be no different with his...brother," Pete replied.

"Jesus...so what d'ya plan to do about it?"

"I have a couple of ideas, problem is, they involve doing things to this man that aren't very pleasant," Pete said.

"Nah, mate, hold up. I understand your anger, yeah? But you don't need to go around killin' anyone and getting yourself thrown in prison," Luke said, grabbing his arm.

"I don't wanna kill him. I just want to..."

"Want to what?" Luke asked.

Pete shook his head.

"Never mind, just forget about it," he said, taking a sip of his tea.

Jonathon smiled at the smell of cooking bacon and inhaled deeply. He had been up for about an hour and was currently making breakfast while Boots rubbed herself around his legs and mewed at him.

"Mew," Jonathon said, looking down at her.

"Mew," Boots replied.

"Mew," Jonathon said.

"Mew!" Boots said, standing up on two paws and leaning her other two legs against his.

"You want bacon, do ya?" Jonathon said to the mewing kitten. "Slop in the bowl not good enough for ya, eh? Well, maybe if you're good and make me happy, I'll give you a couple of rashers, yeah?"

"Mew!"

Jonathon, his heart light, scooped up Boots and kissed her head.

"Oh, you make me so happy. You and Rose and my friends make me sooooo happy," he said to her.

He heard the door open and strolled into the living room.

"You're up?" Rose said, laying her purse on the chair. "Thought you take advantage of today and sleep until tomorrow."

"Nah! I'm not that lazy!" he said to her.

Rose came over, kissed him and kissed Boots.

"Mmmm, bacon," Rose said seductively.

"Oi, it's mine. It's my breakfast. You had yours already."

"Please?" Rose said in a husky voice. "Please, Mister Half Human Time Lord With The Kitty, can I have some bacon?"

Jonathon stared at her, suddenly turned on by the sound of her voice. Rose gasped and giggled when he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her roughly to his body.

"Baby, you can have aaaaaaaall the bacon ya want just as long as you keep talkin' like that," he said to her.

Rose giggled.

"Okay," she said in the husky voice.

Jonathon raised his eyebrow and looked at Boots.

"I have a funny feeling you're about to be banished to the sofa again, mate," he said.

Rose smiled and rubbed his back as she followed Jonathon back into the kitchen.

After eating and washing up the dishes, they left them in the strainer and left Boots in the kitchen while they stripped their clothes off, closed the door and lay in bed naked.

"Mmm, now this was worth skivving off work," Rose said as she ran her hand down his bare chest.

Jonathon stared at her with love and adoration as he laid his hand against her cheek.

"I wish you didn't have to work there. You're not meant for that place any more than I'm meant to work at the pizza shop," he said to her.

"I know but I have to stay because of the technology. I'm sorry but if we wanna leave planet Earth, they're our best hope," Rose said.

Jonathon sighed angrily.

"Damn the Doctor for..."

Rose quickly put her hand over his mouth.

"No, don't bring the Doctor into this. He did what he thought was right. Perhaps he trusted you to figure out a way to get off Earth on your own and that's why he didn't just hand you a TARDIS."

"What? I have to earn it."

"Yes, you do, Mister Ninth Doctor Temperment," she teased.

He grinned and grabbed her roughly. Rose gasped and chuckled, leaning in and giving him a soft kiss on the lips. They began to kiss and caress each other, readying themselves for sex. Jonathon sighed through his nose as he and Rose snogged each other. The Doctor had never gone this far with Rose, never dared to have sex with her although he fantasized about it often enough. It was because he was half human that both he and Rose felt comfortable enough to take the next step in their relationship. They paused a moment so Jonathon could reach into the drawer of his bedside table and pull out a condom. He had no clue how to use one but he made sure to get a box because the last thing he wanted at the moment was for Rose to be pregnant and have a kid running around their spaceship. Rose opened it for him and helped him get it on, patiently instructing him on how to do it. Jonathon frowned. The latex felt weird but if it meant he and Rose could have sex without the risk of getting pregnant he would put up with it. Once that was done, Jonathon laid the empty condom wrapper on the bedside table and Rose lay on her back while she helped instruct him on what to do. Jonathon was nervous and unsure which endeared him even more to Rose. Once again, she was patient with him and soon they were in the throes of lovemaking. Once he entered her, some human instinct took over and he knew what to do so he trusted this newfound intuition and simply enjoyed the fact that the love of his life was now in complete and utter ecstacy. He took his time at first savoring every pleasant sensation, every groan that passed through Rose's lips, the fact that her hot, sweaty body looked so beautiful to him and he swore that no goddess ever devised by man was more lovelier. As he continued, he found himself mentally thanking the Doctor instead of cursing him. Thanking him for not locking him away and giving him a chance to have a normal life with his true love at his side. At Rose's urging, he sped up and began to kiss and suck on her flesh, delighting in the taste of it. He wanted more than anything to take Rose away from Earth right then and there so he could have her all to himself for the rest of his life. He cursed his half human life, wishing that she and him were a true Time Lord and Lady so he could love her throughout the centuries.

He continued his lovemaking, speeding up once more so he could bring her and possibly himself to climax. But as they did, they suddenly heard a pounding on the door that vibrated all the knicknacks in the house. Rose, who had been lost in the moment, gasped and was nearly scared to death as Jonathon let out a curse under his breath and pulled out. The pounding grew louder and more violent as Jonathon and Rose scrambled to get their clothes on and make themselves look presentable.

"ALRIGHT, WAIT A MOMENT, WE'RE COMING!" Jonathon screamed when the pounding didn't stop.

Both of them finished throwing their clothes on and fixing their hair so they looked halfway decent. Jonathon then threw open the bedroom door, not carrying that it flew back against the bedroom wall with a loud slam and stomped to the front door with Rose in tow. He unlocked the door, flung it open and glared at Pete Tyler. Pete took in their disheveled appearance and folded his arms over his chest as he glared at Rose.

"We need to talk...all of us," he growled.
