Thank you so much for the support of this story.

This is the last chapter of this story but never fear, I have been thinking about doing a group of little one-shots coming off of this story. If you want more from this story, please tell me. I have a few ideas and I would be open to your ideas and thoughts as well. This story doesn't have to end if you don't want it to.

I would say that the next story will be up soon but I don't know at the moment. I might take another small break to catch up with myself.

Please enjoy this last chapter.

Chapter 10

Clara knew that she was in a better position than she was months ago. She knew now that she could have done things differently but with the way things currently were, she wasn't so sure that she would change a thing.

She gave Danny the five minutes that he deserved. He did deserve them. Clara may have stopped blaming herself for what happened but she should have been honest with him earlier. Maybe they should have just been friends in the long run but there wasn't anything Clara could do to change what had happened.

The rest of the time, her thoughts were filled with the Doctor. Her stupid Doctor.

They were taking things as it happened which for some reason seemed to be really fast, with the Doctor usually spending the weekend at Clara's. Her small flat did make things cosy but it was weird how empty it felt during the week. She knew that they were trying to take things slowly but she knew that she would have to ask him to move in with her soon enough. It was driving her crazy.

She found herself beaming as he pulled up and leant over to open the door up for her. She handed him his coffee before getting in and kissing him. It was the best part of dating him. Being able to kiss him when she wanted to. Not that he was bad in bed or anything. Clara just really like kissing him.

"Morning." He said as he pulled back.

"Morning. It is so much easier to kiss you in bed."

He chuckled. "Well, maybe I won't have to make this detour soon enough."

"I am glad that you are on the same wavelength as me. My flat seems empty without you."

"I was thinking more..." He trailed off.

"Are you asking me to come and live with you?"

"At the moment, I am only staying at yours because it is closer and easier to get to and I think I am just on autopilot when I drive now. I do have a bigger house to fit all our stuff into because I am sure that you wouldn't want to get rid of anything to fit my things in and I wouldn't want you to get rid of anything that you didn't want to get rid of to fit my things and I have the space. Obviously, that is only if you want to come and live with me."

Clara found herself giggling at him. He just sounded so nervous when he was asking her. Bearing in mind how far they had already gone in their relationship, she didn't understand why he was nervous. That would be if she could understand why she felt nervous about giving an answer back.

"Maybe I might take you up on that offer."

"I obviously don't need to know straight away. We can always plan for it. Set a date and all that."

"Something we can talk about at the weekend."

"We can." He paused for a moment. "There is a new restaurant just opened. We could check it out over the weekend."

"We haven't been out for a while."

"Exactly. And it will get us out of your flat." He paused again. "Not that I mind what we do in your flat most weekend but we can do that and go out. Actually, I might use you this weekend. Obviously, it is heading towards the end of term and unlike you, I left them all to the last week so I have like four lots of 30 exams to mark."

"I am just a stupid English teacher."

The Doctor groaned. "Okay, he meant that. But I don't think that. Plus it is science. It isn't like English. You don't have to interpret anything. Just need to follow the mark scheme. I just need help."

"Buy a couple of bottles of wine and I am in."

"What it is with you and drinking while marking?"

"The next time I have a stack of essays, you can help me and then wonder why I drink while marking. Second dry essay in and you will be reaching for the alcohol."

"But you are an English teacher."

"Honestly, I would just like it if the exam was just a big vocal debate with the students being split into two and then just talking it out. I love those lessons. I swear they learn more from those lessons. The essays are usually better after a lesson like that."

"I usually find that. If you find an inventive way to teach, they usually listen more."

"Is that why you keep going off on a tangent? I heard you gave another class on poetry the other day."

The Doctor smiled. "It broke up the lesson."

"Poetry is still nothing like physics. You should be careful. Might make you look unfavourable for the deputy head role."

"You really want me to get that."

"I think you deserve it. Not just because of long service or something like that but you do care about the students."

"You care about the students but I don't see you signing up for the role."

"Because I don't want it," Clara said as the Doctor pulled into the parking space.

"Into the madhouse, we go." He said as the engine turned off.

Clara looked out of the windows before she grabbed him to give him a quick kiss before they got out of the car. She chuckled as her lipstick was visible on his lips. She wiped it off with her thumb.

"Have a good day at work." She said.

"You too."

They both opened their doors at the same time and clambered out of the car. The Doctor held a bag for her as they walked towards the school, allowing her time to sort themselves out. He handed it back to her just before they parted ways.

Clara knew that she had the biggest smile on her face and she knew that Adrian had caught onto her good mood as well.

"You seem happy," Adrian said as he fell in step with her.

"It is a nice day."

"You said that you would tell me."

Clara looked over to see the Doctor just walking into his room. "You know you said I would be the one to change him."

"Yeah?"

"Well, I think I have done more than just change him."

"You know that gives me nothing."

"I know."

She knew that Adrian was annoyed as the bell went. She would tell him soon about everything that has happened, maybe once she had fully understood it all. Maybe things were going fast for them but maybe that was the way it was meant to be. Maybe they had a bit of catching up to do.

Clara smiled as she walked into her classroom and shouted a good morning to her students. She looked up at the clock to see that the school day has started and that it would be another two hours before she would see the Doctor again. She knew that she had to make the time go fast.

"Let's see how much you learnt from last week." She walked over to the board and wrote down an essay question that she was going to set as homework. "The left side of the room will argue that Pride and Prejudice key theme is love while the right side of the room will argue that the key theme is class. You have 20 minutes to prepare."

As soon as the class reputed in noise, Clara knew that she had done the best thing possible. Anyway, it gave her more time to think about the Doctor and his offer of her going to live with him.
