He lead me to a room which was nice and normal if you were a crewman.
"It's not the best but I'm proud of it." Lowe said looking at it.
"I think it's perfect." I said smiling.
Lowe turned. "Now did you mean that or are you been nice?"
I bit my upper and lower lip smiling a bit as he walked around his small room and sat down.
"Now was that a smile or was your gums stuck in between your teeth?"
I started to laugh as I got up and walked up to him. I then sat down next to him.
He had me wrapped in his arms. He kissed me a number of times in my cheek and I closed my eyes enjoying every kiss.
Soon like if someone took a part of me he got up. He then extended his hand.
"Care to dance Miss Andrews?"
I took his hand and smiled. "Certainly"
I had him so close and with the fireplace burning brightly with his light it seem so romantic.
I closed my eyes as I held him close. I can fell our noses touching softly. He started to hum a little tone to himself.
I felt him even closer as he brought me closer. Now my head was on his chest. I heard his heartbeat and I felt his breathing. I can tell he was nervous as I felt his tremble.
I felt as he moved around taking one hand and putting his hand around my hip as we danced softly to his humming.
Our fingers were dancing for a moment with each other. I felt it a bit wet and tickles as his hands moved around gracefully with mine. Our fingertips touching so gently.
When finally our hands engaged together. I had forgotten about the world once again. I was lost.
I picked up my head and looked at him in his eyes. He had them closed still humming.
I passed my finger through one side of the cheek and he opened his eyes.
He smiled showing that cute dimple I adore.
I held him even closer as I held in my breath. Lowe and I were connected since he noticed that I was nervous.
He then whispered. "It's okay Elizabeth.I will never hurt you."
"I know you wouldn't." I whispered so softly that I could hardly hear it.
But he heard me perfectly as he held me even closer that our face were only millimeters apart.
"I know the world would try to hurt us and depart us but Elizabeth can we forget about the world tonight."
"Forget it?"
"Everything.far away from us . no one can harm us where we are. No one can say anything about our love.for this one night nothing can be wrong."
Even though most of his words were mostly sappy lines it always sweep me off my feet. It must have been his voice probably or just the way he said it. Sometimes I believe it just because it's my love for him and hearing his voice is enough.
I smiled.
"Free me from this world Lowe.. Free me like you had freed yourself from your parents. I don't want to be trapped in anymore. Free me from this world. Take away these riches and take away everything given to me since birth. All that has sealed me from the world. Release it and let me out like a bird who had been trapped in for years."
Then without permission or anything I felt his lips touching mine. I closed my eyes wrapping my arms around his neck. I took the hat on his head and threw it off. I will forget about the world this one night.
He carefully and so gently brought me down to the coach.
I opened my eyes to look at him once again to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
He felt like the softest thing in the world. He was so smooth even better then the sheets of mine in the beginning when they were untouchable.
They felt stone hard compare to him.
His lips even though the cold nights he spends outside may not keep them warm and moist they were still perfect. His uniform told a story as I felt it close.
I can feel the days afternoon and nights with it. I can feel his adventures and I can feel all his experience just by this item that was so close to me. I can feel the tears in them and the joys. I can feel the pain and I can feel the relief. I felt the hatred and then the undying love.
But as I unbutton the uniform, I was freeing him from all that. We were going to forget the world from all in his mind which was on his hat to what he had experienced in his lifetime that was all in this coat.
He carefully took off his shoes which were all the steps he took to the never ending path. It was just him. Harold Lowe and no one else.
~*~*~*~*
Lowe's point of view.
I can tell that she was nervous and found it hard to forget the world. She had things that I knew would come to her after if she accepts me instead of the world. She knows that the world is one the praises her but it never loved her the way I did. The world may have given her the title, riches and all the wishes of man kind except warmth.
I also know that in that world her father is there as well. I would never mean to disrespect her father but even he knows what our love had become.
Her face was so smooth so soft that fingers slipped. Her smile was so sweet as her rosy pink lips looked so moist. Her gray eyes were a mystery. They held so much inside.
I wanted to free her as she was freeing me.
I carefully unzipped her dress taking all the riches laid upon her. The dress represented what she was hiding. I knew that the dress gave her a name the title and all that she was look upon as.
Her hair was in a long braid but I let go off every ribbon on her hair for they represented what she was force into.
I saw her natural beauty as I kissed her removing all the makeup that hid her true image.
She dropped her shoes as a sign that she would no longer want to walk like the rest.
The light of the fire lit her face as I saw her like she really was. Even with all the items she wore she was beautiful as her natural self.
I removed her earrings last because that showed complete riches. I was also going to remove her necklace but she stopped me.
"What's wrong?"
"No, Harold . not this. I can never let go of it."
She sighed and I knew immediately that this necklace meant the world to her so she will not release it, not even on this night.
I accept it.I accept everything she does.
For the one reason that I love her.
I leaned so close to her not believing any of this was true. The way her face lit in the light of the fire dancing in the fireplace.
I close my eyes as I felt her lips touch mine.
I will free her from this world. It was like something that was in our minds, going so far into the stars that it was meant for her and I. We had our story in the deep blue sky that I watch every night trying to figure out since I was 14.
Her heart beat was beating faster. I was doing no wrong with her. I will never hurt her and it was not like she was giving herself to me yet.
She was too young for that, I just wanted her to be freed from all the drama that had separated us.
We held each other tight until finally we knew that we were so up high into the sky, we had to slowly come down. I had freed her from the world for this one night.
~*~*~*~
Later on..
I spinned around like a bird who had just won his wings..the wings taken from him for years. I couldn't explain such feeling knowing that I was no longer brought down by the word of society and brought up by the word of love.
I hugged him.
"It's almost late and my father will worry. I must go, but still meet me in about an hour. I'll be waiting outside."
I walked away and softly closed the door.
Lowe smiled as he fell back in his bed still not believing what happened.
As I closed the door I leaned against it sighing a bit. I then walked off ready and yet nervous to tell him the truth.
Lowe got up remembering the words that Ismay had told him. Fury had entered him there and got up to look for the man that almost ruined everything.
"It's not the best but I'm proud of it." Lowe said looking at it.
"I think it's perfect." I said smiling.
