[Milliways] OOM: James' Flat, London, 2006

[his_sarah_jane]

Even though the icon above shows Sarah Jane sitting, that is in fact not what she is doing right now.

Sarah Jane? Is pacing.

Pacing because, while James has been at work for the last few hours, she's slowly been realising what a rash idea this was. She doesn't belong here; this isn't her world. There's no Metropolitan and certainly no journalist by the name of Sarah Jane Smith and she doesn't have any way of supporting herself here.

She's dependent as long as she's here, and dependent in a way that she isn't when living on the TARDIS because that doesn't involve money and day to day expenses. Less than a day in, and it is already starting to irk her.

Still, there is that gym membership he promised - they were going to deal with that during his lunch hour tomorrow, weren't they? And shopping and maybe a bit of redecorrating (as she refuses to live in a dull flat) and other things, she's sure of that.

It's all a matter of waiting for James to flipping get home soon. She's not going to start preparing dinner until he's there to share the task with her.

Her hand goes on top of his, moving it up and down her leg. "Really?"

He nods. "Really."

"Good," Sarah answers, moving his hand so it now rests on her waist as she tilts her head up to kiss him. "Because if one of us is going to have worries, it's probably a good thing the other has the answers to quench them."

"Probably," he replies, kissing her back. "Now you better start writing or I'll hand you an eviction notice."

Pls b to hearing the undercurrent of j/k lol.

She kisses him again and then shakes her head. "After dinner, maybe."

Another kiss.

"Or after desert."

[callitavesper.livejournal.com]

"Mmmm." Kiss. "At that rate you won't write until I leave for work tomorrow."

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

"And that's--" kiss "--a bad thing?"

[callitavesper.livejournal.com]

"Mmm." Kissy kiss kiss. "Not at all."

No more words need to be spoken as Sarah decides that they have more than enough time until food arrives to test the durability of James' couch.

So instead, she leads him in spreading their bodies out across the couch, laying underneath him and smiling up at him when not kissing or trying to remove items of clothing. This, at least, makes up for the boring day she's had.

And with writing and that membership to that gym to look foward to tomorrow, things can only be looking up.
