I do not own Titanic

Cecilia POV*

The next morning I woke up and got dressed. I walked down to the 3rd class dining room with Samantha and her mother to go get breakfast. After we got out food Ruth went to go talk to a few other people why me and Samantha went and sat down at a table by ourselves.

"So what happened yesterday after I left?" she asked me.

"Nothing happened." I said obviously lying.

"Now Cecilia stop lying we both know something happened now what was it?" she asked me.

"Okay well after you left I decided to walk around a little bit and I wasn't paying attention and I bumped into an officer. After I said sorry he asked if he'd see me again and I said maybe." I started.

"Was he cute?" she asked me. I nodded "Yes he was."

"AND YOU SAID MAYBE! WHAT IF YOU TWO NEVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN?" she yelled out the entire dining room looking at us.

"Calm down and let me finish." I said calmly. "Later on I was on deck again looking out at the water and I heard someone walk up and stand next to me. When I turned around I saw the same officer. We walked around the deck getting to know each other a little more before he had to go." I said smiling.

"Oh my god you like him!" she yelled again and just like before everyone turned around.

"SAMANTHA be quite." I hissed though my teeth. "An no I do not." I said feeling my face grow hot.

"Your blushing." She said simply. I looked down embarrassed knowing that an officer would never fall for a third class passenger.

"Well it doesn't matter if I like him or not. An officer on the grandest ship in the world would never fall for someone like… me." I said sadly.

"What? How do you know he doesn't like you? You the funniest girl I know and we only met yesterday. Not to mention you're beautiful." Samantha said and I couldn't help but smile at her words.

"You really think that I have a chance with him?" I asked her hopefully.

She nodded. "Yes I do."

"But how do I find out, I mean what if I never see him again?" I asked her.

"Why don't you ask him now?" She said motioning her head behind me. I turned around and saw two officers looking around the room I looked closer and noticed one of them was James, the other thought, I didn't recognize. He had light brown hair and looked rather young, maybe a few years older than James. I turned around and looked down at my breakfast.

"Oh look their coming over." She whispered happily to me. "Make sure you introduce them to me." I looked at her and smiled. "Okay."

"Cecilia." I heard my name being called and I already know it was James. "Oh hello James." I said feeling rather awkward.

"Um this is Samantha, she and her mother are in the same cabin as me." I said motioning to Samantha who stood up and shook James's hand. They said their hellos and then James turned to the other officer next to him who looked rather embarrassed.

"Cecilia, Samantha this is Harold Lowe, Titanic's 5th Officer." James said.

"Hello." Officer Lowe said nervously.

"Hi." I said shaking his hand.

"Hello." Samantha said and I saw her eyes light up.

"How are you?" he asked her.

"I'm good. Hey you're from Wales aren't you?" she asked him. Me and James exchanged glances.

"Yes how did you know?" he asked her rather shocked.

"Well I grew up there but I moved when I was eight." She said.

"Um Cecilia do you want to go walk with me on the deck?" James asked me. I smiled and nodded my head and we walked out the door leaving Samantha and Harold to talk.

When we got out on deck we were greeted by a bright blue sky and calm blue water. I smiled as I smelled the salt in the air and the wind in my hair.

"So…" I said trying to break the silence as we walked across the deck.

"How are you enjoying the voyage so far?" He asked me. I smiled.

"James I know that that's not what you came here to talk about. But to answer your question I'm really enjoying it so far. She's going to be hard to leave when we reach New York." I said putting a hand on the railing.

"We know each other for one day and you already know me to well, but you are right that's not what I wanted to talk to you about." He said then he started to look nervous. He opened his mouth to start to say something when we were interrupted by someone calling James's name.

"Hey James!" Someone yelled. We both turned our heads around to see another man in an officer's uniform walking up to us.

"Uh- Cecilia this is Second officer Lightoller. Light's this is Cecilia." James said. Officer Lightoller picked up my hand and kissed the back of it.

"Hello Officer." I said shy.

"Oh please call me Light's or Charles." He said. I looked over his shoulder and saw James, his eyes were dark green and I thought maybe he was jealous.

"Call me Cecilia." I said looking at James again. "Uh Officer Moody here was just showing me around the ship a little bit." I said looking back at Light's. I noticed James's eye's looked less green and almost completely brown again.

"Aye, well I must be off, James keep the lass safe. Cheerio." He said turning around and waving his hand in the air.

James walked up to me. "He seems nice." I said.

"Yeah he is I guess, He's one of my superior officers so I have to be nice to him or he'll… well I don't know what will happen." He said and we both laughed. We talked for a few more minutes before James had to leave again for his shift.

"Will you meet me out here at 7:30?" he asked me. I smiled and nodded. "Of course." He smiled and kissed my cheek before walking away. I put my hand up to my face.

"Smaoineamh mé breá liom tú." I whispered in Irish before walking away.
