Davy approached James on deck
"James I have bad news" he said worried
"What is it Davy" he asked
"Christine and George are engaged, I just saw him propose and I know him personally" Davy said pissed off
"FUCK NOOOOOOOOO, I've lost her for sure now, what do I do? I need her, I love her" he said
He then asked "how do you mean you know him personally?"
"I was madly in love with my Madeline, this was before we were engaged when we were just seeing each other, he tried to steal her from me, I almost lost her too, again because George had money, but Mads eventually saw who was the better man and that George only wanted to marry her to inherit his dad's money so Mads came back to me" Davy explained
"That rotten tosser! I am so fucking pissed and angry!" shouted James
"I think the only way to get back into Christine's life is to offer her your congratulations, if she sees you being supportive, we may just have a way of sorting this but no good will come by wishing her ill" explained Davy
"I think you are right" said James
James found her on the ship alone
"Hi Christine, I just heard about your engagement, congratulations, and I'm sorry I lied before about seeing George with his father" He said
"Hi James, thankyou it means a lot, I hope we can be friends" she replied with a smile
"I would like that" he smiled back
"Would you like to accompany me to the telegram room to inform my father and sister's?" she asked
"Sure I would" he smiled
The telegram room
"Hi again sir I would like to send another telegram please"
"Of course madam" he smiled at her
Dear Father, Charlotte, Clementine and Frederick
Guess what! George has just asked me to marry me and I have said yes! I am so happy; I also have made a friend on-board his name is fourth officer James Moody who survived Titanic!
I love you all so much, see you soon
Love Christine
James and Christine walked about the ship for hours. It was clear to any passers that he was falling more and more in love with her. He hated having to pretend to be happy for her and George. He just wanted to rip that ring off her finger and throw it into the ocean.
"Well I better get back to George, good evening James, hope to see you soon", she gave him a peck on the cheek. He blushed and put his hand to the spot where she kissed him. He wanted more with this phenomenal woman.
