i'm welsh .

i've been working like a dog.

i should be sleeping like a log.

you know i work all day to get you money, to buy you things.

it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything.

why on earth should i moan?

when i get you alone, you know i feel okay.

when i'm home, everything seems to be right.

i should have known better with a girl like you.

i never realized what a kiss could be.

this could only happen to me.

can't you see?

you're gonna say you love me, too.

i should have realized a lot of things before.

if this is love, you've got to give me more.

if i fell in love with you, would you promise to be true?

help me understand.

i've been in love before.

i found that love was more than just holding hands.

if i give my heart to you, i must be sure.

don't run and hide.

don't hurt my pride like her.

i couldn't stand the pain.

i would be sad if our new love was in vain.

i hope you see that i would love to love you.

i couldn't stand the pain.

i'm so happy when you dance with me.

i don't wanna kiss or hold your hand.

try and understand.

there is really nothing else i'd rather do.

i'm happy just to dance with you.

i don't need to hug or hold you tight.

i just want to dance with you all night.

i've discovered i'm in love with you.

that's all i do.

she gives me everything.

a love like ours could never die.

as long as i have you near me.

tell me why you cried.

tell me why you lied to me.

i gave you everything i had.

you left me sitting on my own.

did you have to leave me?

if it's something i'd have said or done, tell me what, and i'll apologize.

if you don't, i really can't go on.

i'm holding back these tears in my eyes.

if you'll only listen to my pleas.

is there anything that i can do?

i'm so in love with you.

i really can't stand it.

i'll buy you a diamond ring.

i'll get you anything.

i don't care too much for money.

i may not have a lot to give, but what i've got, i'll give to you.

money can't buy me love.

everybody tells me so.

any time at all, all you gotta do is call.

there is nothing i won't do.

when you need a shoulder to cry on, i hope it will be mine.

call me tonight and i'll come to you.

i've got every reason on earth to be mad.

i've just lost the only girl i had.

if i could get my way, i'd get myself locked up today.

i can't, so i'll cry instead.

i've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet.

if i could see you now, i'd try to make you sad somehow.

i get shy when they start to stare.

i'll come back again someday.

you say you will love me if i have to go.

you'll be thinking of me.

somehow i will know.

i will remember things we said today.

you say you'll be mine.

i got a whole lot of things to tell her.

i'm gonna see my baby today.

i got no business being here with you.

i got something to say that might cause you pain.

if i catch you talking to that boy again, i'm gonna let you down and leave you flat.

i told you before, you can't do that.

it's the second time i've caught you talking to him.

do i have to tell you one more time?

i think it's a sin.

they'd laugh in my face.

i can't help my feelings.

you know, if you break my heart, i'll go.

i'll be back again.

i love you so.

but here was the problem - that information? kind of went against his best interests, actually.

thought he recognized this one when he walked in. not that he let on, of course. and the fact that he was met with similar energy in return - well, that was something of a surprise. few were willing to play his games, and this was most definitely a long con. keep gwen from finding her very attractive, infuriatingly charming and very much former boss, and dragging him back into torchwood, and the fighting evil, and the being good, wah wah wah, of it all.

but it went deeper than that. jack harkness did not want to be found. at least, not by gwen cooper, anyway...

it made him feel special. got him all gooey. i got a secret, and you don't know it!!!!!

maybe they didn't recognize him. but it left him in this predicament. couldn't trust this stranger, who must've spotted jack on their travels. silly husband, could never just blend in. death seemed like the reasonable solution. kill them before they could start talking, hopefully in a way that didn't alert suspicion with former police over here. it was a fine line to balance, pretending to be the scorned, abandoned lover. but hey, what could he say? years of experience.

really, it was like pulling teeth with this one.

storming into the living room, former time agent found himself pacing erratically, hands shaking as he took out his gun, checking bullets. obsessive heartache suited him. it was all in the detail, after all. and upon seeing gwen, eyes rolled, before turning away. ❛ i don't want shepherds pie! ❜ came annoyed outburst ( patronizing little cave person ) ❛ do you know, i was all the way off on romulus twelve, having the biggest orgy i've ever seen with the sexiest of cat kind - ❜ bullshit. ❛ - before you dragged me back here? over jack bleedin' harkness, no less! ❜

because that was sooooo two years ago, am i right? ❛ you've lost it if you think hannibal mary poppins in there's gonna tell you anything! for all you know, they're just bullshitting to escape. probably hurt more kids and puppies along the way, too. you want that on your conscience? i don't. ❜

having jack's husband in her house was not her doing , she didn't call him nor did she request his presence . but , something was going on . . . she could feel it . watching him inspect his gun , she shuffles back with anwen further away . . . it's not the first time she's been around guns . ❛ really ?! ❜ eyes bulge at the sight of his weapon , her head tilting repeatedly towards her child , not that he would care .

❛ woah ! my shepherd's pie is beautiful ! ❜ easily offended in the presence of an intergalactic criminal .

frowning with such disgust , she had worked on that for the best part of an hour and even had a text from her husband who was excited to come home to a deliciously homemade dinner . ❛ that's absolute BOLLO - ❜ shit . child present . ❛ RUBBISH ! i did not drag you back here at all . how the hell would i do that ?! you're deluded ! ❜ she's annoyed , not angry . . . but gwen cooper is heavily inconvenienced . eyes dart between the alien sat in the kitchen and john , back and forth . she's missing a big piece of the puzzle here , but she's not getting dragged into this mess . no , no , no , no , no .

and he gives himself away . her jaw drops , pointing to the direction of the kitchen and back to him . ❛ oh my god ! you know each other ?! hannibal mary poppins is your mate ?! for god's sake ! ❜ the hand slaps her thigh , a light bulb moment is occurring . of course , all roads lead to captain jack fucking harkness !

he never could hide his delight if it was 1 - 0 to him , gwen absolutely knew that something else was happening . she was slightly furious now . . . not welsh dragon lady , but she was pissed off .

❛ what is going on here ?! actually , no . . . get in there . we're going to have a civilised conversation . ❜ she clicks her fingers towards the kitchen , yes , she's being deadly serious . motherhood had changed her , whilst once upon a time she would have gone into any situation guns blazing . . . now , she took the slow road . ask questions , shoot later .

who says i want somebody to be in love with me?

i don't want to fuck you to prove a point.

fuck me because you want to.

are you gonna do it or not?

tastes even better than it looks.

i just told you i missed you.

i really want to kiss you right now, but i'm worried that if i try, you'll think i'm the worst friend in the world.

you know, it hurts me sometimes how little you believe in yourself.

decimate that little bitch.

let's be honest, you gotta feel bad for the kid.

you're not a spring chicken anymore.

dude. he's a pancake. you're gonna flatten him.

how's this feeling?

we're ready for you.

so obviously this isn't the result you wanted today.

you choked.

i don't want you to embarrass yourself.

i'm just a little rusty. it's a confidence thing.

get your fucking confidence back. i can't do it for you.

i'm so sick of you using this as an excuse to have a fucking meltdown.

you said we could watch a movie.

you're evil.

i'm gonna quiz you on it tomorrow.

sir, i don't know who you are.

i don't think we have much more to talk about.

i haven't spoken to you in five years.

i was just taking a little nap.

move, or i'm calling the cops.

you were really something back then, huh?

we always talked about how amazing it would be to win this together.

i'm a crazy person.

any predictions about how that's going to go?

can you do me a favor? can you not, like... demolish me tomorrow?

shut the fuck up.

if it matters to you so much, i can just give it to you.

i need it to look like i really beat you.

don't guilt me with your dying grandmother.

she's the hottest woman i've ever seen.

you were... fucking incredible.

baby, we've got to get going.

i'm not going to that party.

are you that threatened by me?

we can't both just go in there, dicks swinging.

i'd let her fuck me with a racket.

hey, do you smoke?

of course they will remember you.

see, that's your problem. you think you're like an artist or something.

you just want to win because you love it when people tell you how talented you are.

are you on facebook?

i told you tennis was boring.

you just got this crazy look on your face.

are you on a date?

i don't kiss and tell.

why did you want to have dinner with me?

i think you might be the worst friend in the world.

i didn't know you were so concerned about my feelings.

of course you still have a thing for her.

we just had what i'm assuming is the best sex of our lives.

i fucked your brains out?

what do you think you need? a cheerleader? a fuck buddy? a girlfriend?

you're talented, you're charming, and you've got a big dick.

excuse me for inconveniencing you.

don't expect to sleep here tonight.

stop going easy on me.

i'll be whatever you need me to be. i'll fuck off if you want me to.

i need you here, actually.

you're referring to when i declared my love for you.

you're not in love with me anymore?

i've been dreaming about this for five years.

i'm gonna propose something to you, and it's gonna make you angry. it's gonna make you very angry. but you have to hear me out, okay?

i'm finally ready to listen to you.

how dare you fucking ask me that.

do you think it's cute what you're doing? do you think it's funny?

that's the stupidest fucking thing i've ever heard.

i've always wanted you.

you didn't do anything to me. i did it all to myself.

i think i've reached the limit of my willingness to have this conversation with you.

do you understand how embarrassing it is that you're here?

you've never beaten me.

tell me it doesn't matter.

will you just hold me?

i'm not here to fuck you.

shaking his head as gwen speaks, he tries not to listen too closely, but there's nothing for it when there's nothing else around to distract him by. "honestly, think i'd take death at the mo'. better than being stuck out here all the live long day."

she smirks , her head drops before she looks back at him mirroring his movements by shaking her head . ❛ you are such a baby , owen . it's the countryside ! look at it , it's beautiful ! ❜ always the optimist .

"Yes, ma'am." He smiled a little wider before taking the fork and gingerly unwrapping the food she'd bought for him. When was the last time he'd eaten a full meal? Not recently, for sure. All his time had been taken up by drinking and regrets, regrets about all of those lost to them, to him. Deep down, some part of him knew his brother would've never been reasoned with, it was in their DNA, part of them both, and it inevitably ended in other people getting hurt.

❛ i texted him . . . he doesn't want his suits gettin' tighter apparently . ❜ she laughs , it was just the three of them now and everything in that hub felt a fraction lonelier now . there was a photograph of them at her workstation , she'd greet them every morning . as if they were still there . a blue fork stabs at a collection of chips , before she starts scoffing . smacking her lips . ❛ oh ! bloody gorgeous ! ❜ she calls out giddily , there was nothing like hot welsh chips and fish . gwen taps her feet lightly , life had to keep going forward .
