Thank you for all the reviews and ideas! They are absolutely wonderful! I'm going to try and do multiple chapters a day so that you all have more than just a chapter a day to read. Thank you again!
In the distance Rose could see a little light on the beach near the pier. She squinted to try to see better.
"What is that?"
"You'll see," Jack said.
When they got up to the light, Rose gasped.
There was a little table with a red table cloth and two chairs. There were two plates with food, dessert, and sparkling juice.
Rose got tears in her eyes.
"What is all this for?"
"It's been a year since we first met, Rose."
Rose looked at him.
"Oh my gosh…with everything going on…I totally forgot! Oh Jack, I'm so sorry."
Rose was crying.
"Shhh, shhh…it's okay, Rose. You've had a lot going on and with the pregnancy and all…it's totally understandable. I know it's been a tough year and that's why I wanted this for you-for us."
"Oh Jack, I don't even know what to say…it's beautiful!"
"Still not as beautiful as you," Jack said.
Jack pulled out her chair for her.
Jack had little candles around everywhere as to illuminate the setting and also had a band in the corner.
"Thanks, Charlie."
Charlie was on a violin.
"No problem, buddy."
Jack and Rose sat there and enjoyed their dinner and dessert. Since Rose was pregnant, Jack opted for sparkling juice instead of champagne.
Dinner finished and they both sat there.
"That was absolutely delicious, Jack!"
"Thank you, Rose…so now that we've finished our meal…would you care to dance?"
Rose smiled.
"Of course I would love to, Jack."
They got up and started dancing. Charlie and the band started playing 'Come Josephine in my flying machine'. Jack and Rose just stopped and stared at each other for a moment. Charlie didn't know anything about their time on the Titanic or that it was their song. They both smiled sadly, it was their first anniversary since meeting each other but that also meant that it had almost been a year since the Titanic sank.
They both danced together , holding each other ever so tightly and remembered all the souls that were lost on that fateful day.
Some hours later, both were very tired and ready to go home.
"Thanks a lot, Charlie…I couldn't have done this without ya or the guys," Jack said as he shook his hand.
"No problem, Jack…anything for a friend. You guys seemed a little surprised by the first song we played. Ya know it? It was in 1910 by Blanche Ring? It's called 'Come Josephine in my flying machine'."
"Oh yeah…we both know it very well," Jack chuckled.
Charlie raised his eyebrow wondering…
"That's a story for ya next time Charlie, but for now…it's too late and its way too long of a story."
"Understandable, Jack. But I definitely need to hear one of your stories…I bet it's a wild one."
"You could say that."
Jack looked at Rose.
"Are you ready, Rose?"
"Yes, I am. And Jack…this was wonderful. Thank you."
"Anything for you, Rose."
They kissed and headed back towards their home.
