Chapter 5
Two nights later, Rose and Jack headed to an emergency shelter area set up for the survivors of Titanic. Rose then took off the jacket provided by Cal, and heard something fall out of it with a clang. She glanced at the floor, and her jaw dropped. It was the necklace! Jack heard the noise too, and came over to where Rose was sitting.
"Jack---look," she said, stunned
"Wow! I'd have thought it would have sunk with the rest of the things---"
"No--- this was Cal's jacket---he put the jacket on me!" She said, grinning from ear to ear.
"So what---what do you want to do with it?"
"Well, we could--- Jack, why don't we sell it!"
"Rose, it's your own necklace---"
"From Cal," She said, "We can make a lot of money out of this! That way we can have a nice wedding, and a nice house and---"
"You're sure?"
"I'm positive" She added with a smile. Over the next couple days, the couple went and sold it for $120,00.00 American.
After all of the loose ends of the Titanic were done, Rose and Jack were happy to put it behind them. Although it was something they could never forget, they didn't want to have it stall their lives.
"This is so beautiful," Rose said, as she felt Jack's hand take hold of hers as they walked along the sandy beach, "it's like something out of a romance novel--- everything's perfect," She added with a smile
"Yeah---" Jack replied, as he stopped suddenly and a sly grin crept across his face
"What?"
"Rose, you--- you have to let me draw you!"
"Jack---! I couldn't---"
"Why not? Here, look- right over there, by that big rock, go over by there,"
"Jack, I couldn't!"
"You said it was beautiful right? The air's beautiful, the water's beautiful and you're beautiful so it'll make the most beautiful drawing!" He added a kiss to sweeten his speech. Rose smiled, and headed over toward the rock with waves crashing against it.
"Where do you want me to go?"
"Umm--- Over there, yeah- on top there. Do you want me to help you up?"
"I think I can manage, thank you," Rose said playfully. Jack smiled, and took out his fresh notebook and pencil. His other notebook, pencils, and drawings had been lost in the Atlantic, along with the drawing of Rose wearing the Heart of the Ocean. Once Jack started drawing Rose again, he couldn't stop. His hand drew and drew and drew. He couldn't help it; it was his love-it was his passion. Rose enjoyed being drawn also, and watching her love's eyes light up whenever his hand hit the paper. Their love was a match made in heaven.
