Thursday, 11 April 1912
Ada was back in her cabin after spending the afternoon with Sylvia and Lights, Lights had given them both a guided tour of second class and yet he still managed to get himself into trouble with Officer Wilde by walking straight into him causing Wilde to lecture him about watching where he was going and calling Lights 'a clumsy oaf' which made both her and Sylvia laugh in hysterics.
It was now six in the evening and Ada had gotten changed into her evening gown and was now waiting for William to come and escort her to dinner. She was looking forward to spending time with him, even though they had been separated for just a few hours, she had missed him terribly.
Ada was putting the finishing touches to her make-up; she knew she had been deeply depressed since boarding Titanic and she wanted to make it up to her husband and look beautiful for him.
She had her nice evening dress on; it was a simple black frock. She remembered the day William had brought the dress for her; back before they were even married, they had gone up town to pick up some groceries when the dress had caught her eye in a shop window, the dress was simple yet elegant, and William immediately noticed her interest. She had insisted that he shouldn't waste his well earned money on her but he would have none of it, he went straight into the shop and instantly brought her the dress.
Ada was snapped out of her memories by a knock on her door, smiling to herself, she rushed to the door and opened it. Standing there in a crisp clean officer's uniform was William, looking as handsome as ever, Ada couldn't help but stand there and stare.
"Hello darling" William greeted as he placed his hand on her hip and kissed her lovingly on the cheek. He stepped back and let his eyes wander the full length of her body "You look so beautiful that there are no known words to describe how you look" William said, admiring the view.
Ada blushed slightly from her husband's compliment "Thank you, dear" she reached up and found his lips against hers "You don't look to bad yourself" William chuckled at her comment "Can we take a walk on deck before we dine?"
William smiled, hoping she had come out of her fear for the ship "Of course darling" he offered his arm, which she gladly accepted.
The married couple walked their way aft towards the stern, the evening air was pleasantly warm with a slight cool breeze as the stars twinkled, like little diamonds that had been scattered on a dark velvet blanket and the moon shone like a natural beacon, lighting the darkness for Titanic to find her way through the night. The sea was calm, making the ocean look like a sheet of glass; the expanding stretch of water mirrored the sky making the Earth and the heavens look like one.
They climbed the stairs which led onto the poop deck which seemed deserted; Ada figured that most passengers were probably dining. She and William stared out at the vast open water where Titanic had once been as she moved ever further away from England "Truly enchanting" William suggested, entwining his hand in Ada's.
"Tonight is very beautiful" Ada smiled, looking up at the stars.
William smiled and turned to look at his wife "Yes but it wasn't the night I was talking about" he said softly as he swiftly placed her hand on his shoulder and his own hand on her hip before gracefully twirling her around the deck.
Ada couldn't help but laugh in glee as they danced around the deck; she couldn't remember the last time she and William had danced. William dipped her, supporting her by wrapping both his arms around her waist as she wrapped her own arms around his neck as both their laughing slowly ceased. They looked each other in the eye, feeling nothing but love for one another as their lips softly melded together, complete serenity washing over the both of them. As their kiss deepened, Ada brushed her hand from behind his ear and across his cheek feeling the light stubble that had grown there, moaning against his lips as she felt his tongue entwine with her own, like a fiery dance of passion. He softly sucked her lower lip as he broke for air, nuzzling his nose against hers as he stood her up again. Ada's heart was galloping with excitement and anticipation, still tasting him on her lips.
They stood there for several moments basking in their glow before reality kicked back in "I suppose we should be heading for lunch" Ada smiled "Before they stop serving" William laughed and nodded before wrapping his hand around hers and walked towards the dining room.
William had enjoyed his time with Ada immensely, he couldn't wait until they reached New York, where they would be able to spend all their time together and he could show her all the sights and sounds of the city. He had taken her back to her cabin and had given her a kiss goodnight before walking off towards his upcoming duties. He entered the officer's mess hall where upon he saw Lights slouching in a chair, looking as glum as a child who wasn't allowed any sweets.
"What's the matter with you?" William enquired.
Lights sighed "It's Wilde, isn't it"
"Ada told me about the incident involving you walking right into Henry. So what did you do this time?" William asked as he sat down.
"Well, me and Sylvia, we were walking along A deck and we were kissing, then we stepped into a cupboard to, well you know"
William laughed softly "In a cupboard? Trust you to break the rules, and Henry caught the both of you at it?"
Lights shook his head "Not exactly, you see, amongst the confusion and blind panic..." Lights took a deep breath "I may have put my shirt on back to front"
William sat there confused "How the hell did you put on your shirt back to front?" he said trying his best not to laugh.
"Well I didn't do the buttons, did I? I just put my jacket on over my shirt and hoped that he wouldn't notice"
William burst into hysterics "I bet Henry didn't know if you were coming or going"
"That's right, laugh it up William" Lights stood up "You just wait, you'll crack under the pressure sooner or later, and when you break those damn rules and look a complete fool, I'll be there" Lights placed his hands on William's shoulders and bent down to his ear "Goodnight, you grumpy old git" before patting William on the back and walking off to his cabin.
William smiled "Goodnight Lights" before journeying towards the bridge to start his watch.
