New story! Dedicated to Titanic4life! Thank you for being an amazing friend! This is a weird one shot idea I've had on my mind. I don't know if I'll do a second chapter or sequel to this because I take forever to make my mind up about things. I also don't want to complicate this story either if I do a sequel or second chapter. I'm weird as you can tell. Everyone thinks and calls me weird and other things. To tell you the truth this might just stay as a one shot. Enjoy!
Titanic 11912:
Rose was walking her dog around central park when she found a flyer stuck to the lamppost. 'Art festival tomorrow!' Rose took it and found a nearby bench. Sat across from her was a man around her age drawing something. He kept stealing glances from her direction. Minutes later he finished drawing. As he stood and collected his belongings he walked in her direction.
"Hi sorry to bother you but I drew this picture of you." He handed her the drawing. "Sorry to sound creepy but you caught my eye and I couldn't help myself" He started to blush.
"Oh thank you. That's very kind of you" Rose took the drawing and looked at it. "Wow this is exquisite work." She then looked at his signature 'JD' "What's your name?"
"I'm Jack. Jack Dawson" He extended his hand and she took it.
"I'm Rose DeWitt Bukater"
"I'm gonna have to get you to write that one down" They both laughed.
"Have a set Jack" Jack took a seat next to her. "Oh and um, this is my dog Ray"
"Hi Ray" Said Jack as he stroked Ray. Ray sniffed his hand and licked his hand. "I think he likes me" Smiled Jack.
"Yeah he does. So um Jack if you don't mind me asking how long have you been an artist?"
"Well when my parents died in a fire I left home at 15 and I made my way by working here and there. When I was in Santa Monica I sold my work for 10 cents a piece. I've always been interested in art since I was a young kid"
"You have such an interesting life. I'm sorry to hear about your parents"
"It's okay."
"Well tomorrow there is a art festival and I was wondering if you would like to join me"
"I would love to Rose"
...
"Wow you look nice" Smiled Jack as Rose approached him. Rose also brought along her dog Ray as the art festival was outside.
"Thank you. So do you" She replied smiling at him. At one point Rose felt safe and comfortable around Jack. She then reached for his hand and took it. Jack looked down at their hands as they locked into one. During lunch Jack took out his portfolio from his bag.
"Would you like to be drawn Rose?"
"Sure. What should I do?"
"Um. You can sit over there by the trees" minutes later the drawing was completed.
"Wow Jack this is amazing. You have a gift Jack. You do. You see people"
"I see you" He smiled
Rose felt herself blush. "And?"
"It brought me to you"
