CHAPTER TEN
THE ICEBERG
Jack's overcoat laid across my body. My face flushed and I looked at him, my hand cupping his cheek.
"You're trembling," I said, looking at his face.
He was sweating as was I.
"It's okay," Jack panted, "I'm alright."
He laid onto my chest.
"I can feel your heart beating."
I hugged him to me and I vowed to remember this moment forever.
"We should go," Jack said.
I nodded.
We had put on our clothes back on and I kissed him again until I saw two men in white coats with torch lights in their hands.
"Let's go," said Jack, taking my hand.
We snuck around the white coats and one of them saw my handprint on the fogged window and opened the door to the Renault. One of the white coat men opened the door.
"Gotcha!"
We saw their expressions and we left the room and up to the decks where we were laughing so hard.
We were in each others arms, still laughing. I had goose pimples on my arms, the air was so cold that Jack and I breathed clouds.
"Did you see their faces? Did you see them?" Jack said, laughing.
I placed my fingers on his lips.
"When this ship docks in New York, I'm getting off with you." I said, looking straight at his eyes.
"This is crazy." Jack said, smiling dazzlingly.
I chuckled, "I know. It doesn't make any sense. That's why I trust it."
Jack pulled me in and I kissed him with all of my heart.
I never thought it was possible to love someone, but there it was. I loved Jack with all of my heart.
I heard a bell ringing but we ignored it, we continued passionately kissing until a few minutes later there was a sickening KRUUNCH and the there was a violent shudder. The sound was loud as thunder that echoed loudly.
Jack and I broke apart and I saw something very up close as the ship sail past, blocking out the sky full of clouds and stars like a mountain.
An iceberg!
There was crunch sound again as fragments break off and crashed down onto the deck and two men slipped from the ice. Jack pulled me out of the way as the ice pieces came toward us.
"Get back," he said, holding onto my arm.
I looked back at the iceberg in astonishment and fear. Did the ship hit the iceberg! Oh my god! I hoped that wasn't true because it would have meant something really bad was going to happen.
As the ship pass the iceberg, Jack and I rushed over to the starboard rail to see the berg moving down the side of the ship.
I looked down and I didn't see anything bad happen.
"Looks okay. I don't see anything," said Jack.
"Could it have damaged the ship?" I asked worriedly.
"It didn't seem like much of a bump," Jack said reassuringly, "I'm sure we're okay."
I turned behind us and there was a couple of young men kicking around the piece of ice, playing a game of kick the can, laughing.
We went up the stairs where I heard a man in his topcoat asked, "Say, did I miss the fun?"
I ignored them as we reached the deck where I saw the crew officers and the captain round the corner and followed by Mr. Andrews, holding a series of scrolls and a carpenter, their expressions were grave. They barely looked at me and Jack.
"Can you shore up?" said Captain Smith.
"Not unless the pumps get ahead." Said the carpenter.
The group went down the stairs to the deck.
"This is bad," said Jack, looking straight at the group.
I glanced at him, "We have to tell Rose, Caledon and my mother."
Jack looked at me with uncertainty, "Are you sure I should come?"
I nodded, "It will be alright. You'll be with me the whole time."
Jack nodded.
"I jump, you jump...remember?" I asked softly.
"Right," said Jack.
I held Jack's hand and we walked through the door inside the ship.
