A Desert Rose
Rose looked out over the desert: endless golden sand stretching out to the horizon, glowing in the approaching twin sunset.
A warm breeze teased around her body, causing the loose fitting native robes she was wearing to ripple: and her long loose hair tickle her cheek. Now that the sun was going down she could appreciate the real beauty of this exotic landscape, moving around with ease rather than being forced to hide from the searing heat.
Behind her, a servant lit incense: the perfumed smoke circulating in the air. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, smiling in pleasure as the exotic, spicy sandlewood-like scent blended with the heavy aroma of the approaching desert night.
A cool hand alighted on her shoulder. She knew the touch. Had known it for what seemed like forever. She relaxed into the embrace and turned to see the Doctor, also dressed in native robes, smiling down at her with sparkling eyes.
”Thanks for bringing us here,” she said as she turned in his arms, “it’s beautiful.”
The Doctor let his hand slide to Rose’s waist, his other hand alighting on her opposite hip. “Thought it was about time I did,” he remarked. He nodded back towards the opulent tent that had been set up for them. “The Emperor gave me an open invitation years ago but,” his gaze darkened, “it wouldn’t have been much fun alone.”
Rose’s heart went out to her Timelord friend. Instinctively she leaned into the loose embrace, hugging him tightly; her head resting on his chest. The Doctor dropped his head to rest on hers and they stood in silence, watching the dramatic alien sunset for what seemed to Rose like forever.
Finally, as the colours faded to grey and Rose shifted, starting to feel the coolness of the desert night. The Doctor released her, and looked down, gaze intense. Slowly, seemingly afraid of breaking the spell they had both fallen under on this planet of the Arabian Nights, he lifted his hands to cup Rose’s face.
Slowly.
So slowly.
So inevitably.
Their faces came closer.
And they kissed.
