Three Men and A Lady

by MoodyLithium

A spirit granted the Titanic charactors immortality; the only catch is four of these people must live together to gain it. They end up living in a two bedroom house in California in 2003. Note: a little funny now, but I promise it will get better.

An Unexpected Reunion

As a group the Housemates made their way to the door. Ruth stayed behind. They stood tensely in front of it. Finally Jack spoke. "Shouldn't we open it?" Cal nodded.

"Yes, I believe we should." No one moved. "So, are we gonna open it?" Rose groaned. "I will." She leaned forward, careful not to the leave the circle they had formed.

The door swung open easily. Tommy Ryan stood on their front porch, grinning from ear to ear. They stared.

Fabrizo was the first to break the silence. "What're you doing here?" He asked. "Well, after I got out of jail and paid up my alimony I decided I'd look all you people up."

He stepped into the house; the Housemates simultaneously took a step back. "So, what's for dinner?"

They sat at the table, each occupied with their own thoughts. The food lay untouched, save Tommy and Ruth's portions. They were eating like it was their last meal.

Cal glared at Tommy and then he glared at Fabrizo. When Rose asked him what the hell he was doing, he glared at her. Jack then threw a plate at him. That was the end of his glaring for awhile.

Tommy and Ruth took no notice of this. In between bites of sausage, Tommy was carrying on an animated conversation with Ruth. "So, how's Vegas?" he asked. Ruth giggled girlishly. "It's alright."

She batted her eyelashes at him. Jack and Cal felt themselves becoming nauseous. Fabrizo alone was unaffected by these new arrivals. He sat happily in his usual chair, playing cat's cradle.

Rose scooted closer to Jack. She wanted in his lap, and was trying to find a way to accomplish this without attracting the attention of the "visitors".

A moment later, she slid onto his lap. Jack hugged her tightly. "At least you're here with me," he whispered into her hair. Rose smiled and cuddled closer to him.

Cal grunted. Her head shot up from where it had settled on Jack's chest. "Don't you dare start that." Cal just grunted again. Meanwhile Ruth and Tommy flirted on. Jack wrapped his arms tighter around Rose. This was going to be a long night.
