I wore a midnight gown. I curled my hair with the comb which was easy for
my dark brown wavy hair. My eyes were the same color as Thomas. I smiled as
I saw myself with the dress. I put on a hat of the same color on my head. I
put on gloves and I moved my fingers up and down. I imitated the Countess
Evan.
"Oh heavens dear how ever do you do?" I laughed a bit and I felt I changed my voice real good to hers.
I was so happy when Thomas came in. He looked quite handsome with his suit on.
"Well well well" I said laughing. "we'll looking handsome tonight."
"Well I'm not the only one.you look lovely tonight.."
"since I look so lovely you won't mind me skipping this dinner and---"
"No come along."
I was walking arm to arm with Thomas.
"Come on and smile to the world Elizabeth. You are as sour as a lemon"
I smiled big and huge showing my teeth.
"Not like that Elizabeth."
I licked my lip and looked around.
Then I tripped but Thomas held me. "grace Elizabeth grace"
I was going to say something back but I held my tongue.
"Ah there he is I was looking for him all day!" Thomas says cheering a young man around my age.
"oh this is Sinamor Donahue"
Sinamor took my hand and kissed it. "so this is the lovely lady you were telling me about it."
"yes.um Elizabeth this would be your future fiance"
I widened my eyes and turned to him. "excuse me?"
"We'll talk about it later.come along Elizabeth I'll see you soon Sinamor."
"Fiance!!!! Are you mad?" I said whispering.
"don't find him a least bit handsome?"
"No! I mean.he sorta handsome but no! Thomas you clearly know I won't go off with just any guy."
"Well then you must many people go through it."
"Well I don't want to!"
"Shhh shhh we are dinner.oh hello there." Thomas kept greeting the people.
Thomas smiled showing his teeth.
"Is that a broccoli piece I see?" I said teasing him.
"I could have sworn I saw the piece there yesterday"
I laughed a bit.
"oh yes and I also see yellow shining out your mouth like gold."
"Don't push it."
"you started it.anyways Miss I haven't eaten broccoli since we got here"
"huh!" I said laughing. "then who knows how long that's been there."
"do you want to get grounded again Elizabeth"
I then noticed Lowe there. I guess crewmen also eat where upper class people do. He wasn't considered that low but yet not exactly "husband material" whatever that was.
I saw him and he noticed too. I just smiled. He was going to walk up to me but I did a sign for him to stay.
We finally walked when I saw Jack. I was surprise to see him there. "Jack Dawson hello.I'm Elizabeth Andrews."
He took my hand and kissed it. He was trembling. I don't blame him but I smiled warmly at him. He sorta clamed down. He explained me the short version of what happened. I understood and went to sit down after been greeted by many.
So Ruth tortured Jack with a few question but his answers sure made a few chuckles here and there. He didn't show a least bit of defeat.
"Mr.Dawson is quite a fine artist.he was kind enough to show me some of his work today." Rose said making Jack sound better then Ruth who was trying to lower him.
Mr.Andrews looked quite satisfied.
I seem interested too.
Cal of course had to go off with his usual negative answers. I only saw the man smile for once. Looks quite handsome but with the face's he's got which usually shows anger with so many wrinkles it makes my head hurt.
But Ismay as usual loves to inspire and give Mr.Andrews the spot light.
There were a much of spoons on one side and bunch on the other. I laughed to see Jack's face from the way he saw the spoons and forks. I wish I could have told him what to use for what but I think Molly had him covered.
"She might be mine on paper," said Ismay. "but in the eyes of God.she belongs to Thomas Andrews." he took in a drink of champagne.
"the ship is wonder Mr.Andrews truly" Rose said
Thomas seem proud as he thanked her.
I turned to him and he whispered. "you have been behaving good today I might let you go off this night."
I smiled. "really as in not grounded?"
"Yes."
"What they say is true." I spoke loudly this time for them to hear. "I believe the credit should go to you both.with Ismay's knowledge and visions.oh and defining Titanic to show what she means."
The group laughed knowing I was sort of teasing him.
"and with Thomas creativity and too his visions.I believe this ship has truly been made with a lot of imagination to never be forgotten.this is truly.the ship of dreams"
I smiled as everyone did as well. Then I turned to Dawson.
I was in curiosity. "Mr.Dawson."
Jack turned and looked at me.
"I was wondering.what is usually your dream.your life ahead of you."
Jack smiled. "well that depends."
"depends?"
"Yes.because after I leave this ship.I'm on God's good humor."
Ruth had to ruin this by saying. "and why do you have means of travel."
I only narrowed my eyes. 'who does she think she is? She is no one to look down at Jack like that.'
"I go from place to place" Jack said biting off a piece of bread. "you know here and there but I won my ticket on Titanic here . on a poker.a very lucky hand."
"All life is a game of luck" Archie said smiling and nodding.
Cal disagreed."no man makes his own luck.right Dawson."
"Hmm..." Dawson said picking his head up as agreeing.
Then Ruth had to come along with another of her smart remarks. Never did like Ruth much. But I lived with it. I mean if she's rich might as well go along. Molly sure was another who didn't like Ruth said. Unlike Cal who found it rather funny.
But Jack answered with not the least bit of been let down. "well yes ma'am I do.I mean I have everything right here with me.I have the air in my lungs and a few sheet of paper." He scratched his nose. "man I love waking up in the morning," he takes another bite of bread. "not knowing who I'm going to meet.where I'm going to whine up.another day I was sleeping under a bridge and now I'm having champagne with you fine people."
We all laughed politely.
"I'll take some more of that.I figure life's a gift.not attend on wasting it.you never know when you it'll take you next.you take life as it comes at you."
I noticed Cal was boredly listening with a cigarette in his mouth. Jack noticed and whispered. "here you go cal!" throwing the lighter at him. Cal caught it a bit surprised.
I only laughed to myself.
Then Jack finished his speech. "to make each day count."
Molly complimented Jack. "well said Jack.."
I smiled. "beautiful speech Jack.."
"Hear hear" Archie said.
Rose then raised her cup of champagne. "to make it count."
Everyone rose their cups as a toast. "to make it count" in unison.
Then after Molly started making jokes. I was seriously laughing while eating fruits. Thomas was laughing as well.
Molly kept laughing as she told her joke. "Mr. Brown didn't know I hid the money in the stove."
Then it was laughter again
"and he comes drunk as a pig and he lits a fire!"
They started to laugh.
Then it was the usual for the brandy in the smoking room.
I only rolled my eyes. "Thomas are you going?"
Thomas smiled. "a small brandy and I'll be upstairs in the room before you notice."
"Okay."
Thomas smiled. "okay then."
"Come on Thomas we can't be waiting around all night can you?!"
Thomas kissed my hand as a good-bye and left when a servant came up to me.
He whispered in my ear. "Ms. Andrews?"
"Yes?"
"Here this is a note." He gave me a note and left
I opened the note.
Remember that dinner? Meet me at the deck and wear something simple -Lowe
I only smiled and took the note as I ran upstairs.
"Oh heavens dear how ever do you do?" I laughed a bit and I felt I changed my voice real good to hers.
I was so happy when Thomas came in. He looked quite handsome with his suit on.
"Well well well" I said laughing. "we'll looking handsome tonight."
