Felicity Nelson or Flick to her friends was a girl who fought for everything she wanted. Nothing or noone would stand in her way. She was strong willed and determined.

She lived with her mother in a small flat in Bournemouth. Her father had ran out on her mother just after Flick was born leaving her mother to raise her by herself. Her mother had done a wonderful job of raising her and had brought her up to be strong and stand up for everything she wanted which she did.

Flick was 25 and she was about to embark on the journey of her life. A voyage onboard the RMS Titanic for a new life in New York. Her mother wanted a fresh start for her and her daughter and knew New York had lots to offer.

Her mother Rachel wanted to see her daughter be happy and settle down with a nice man who could make her happy and give her everything she deserved.

Bournemouth was not the place for that. And her mother wanted more job opportunities and maybe find love herself. Now Flick was all grown up she wanted more from life.

They arrived at Southampton docks by taxi,the two women were amazed by the ship's beauty and size. Rachel and Flick got out of the taxi and paid the driver and the driver then sorted out their luggage for them where they then went up the gangplank. Rachel had their two tickets.

They got to the door where a young Officer who must have been the same age roughly as Flick smiled and said "Can i see your tickets please?".

"There you are" Rachel smiled handing the tickets to the young officer who had his eyes on Flick who was unaware of the officer's gaze on her.

He was intrigued by the young lady. And he was happy to see she was not wearing an engagement ring or wedding ring.

Rachel smiled at the officer as he handed the tickets back and the two women boarded.

Rachel and Flick were in first class and they got to their rooms.

"Flick did you notice that young officer look at you?" Rachel asked her daughter who was unpacking her things.

"Uhh no i didn't. Do you mean the officer who checked our tickets?" Flick asked her mother intrigued.

"Yes him Flick! He couldn't take his eyes off you the entire time! I don't even think he thoroughly looked at the tickets,he was more interested in you!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Oh,well good for him" FLick sharply stated.

"Is that all you can say Flick? He's gorgeous. If i was your age i'd be up on deck right now looking for him" Rachel smirked at her naive daughter.

"Well i guess i'm not interested. I want a man who's older and more maturer not someone who is young" Flick stated.

Rachel could never understood her daughter and her taste in men.

"Right mum i'm going to go for a stroll up on deck" Flick said.

"Have you changed your mind about the officer?" Her mother asked hopeful. She wanted to see her daughter settle down. She was 25 afterall.

"NO mum! I want to watch the ship leave that's all. Feel free to join me if you'd like" Flick said getting slighly annoyed at her mother's pushyness.

"No,no you go on your own. I'll stay here and try to sort things out here" Rachel said as Flick smiled and left the room.

Flick walked along the corridor and came to the exit. She climbed the stairs and got up on deck. It was a bright,warm April's morning and the fresh air felt lovely on her face.

Flick stood at the far end of the ship and waved as the ship left the dock.

Flick then noticed something which worried her,the ship was about to collide with another ship! She ran up towards the bridge and opened the gate.

"Miss,you can't be here" Said an officer with a scottish accent.

"The ship is about to hit another one. I thought i should warn you!" Flick said worried.

The officer then looked over the edge and said "Shit" he then ran back and gave the orders to turn quickly.

To everyone's relief the Titanic turned and avoided a collision with the SS City Of New York. Flick had a strange feeling afterwards. Their destination was New York and the ship had almost hit a ship with the same name. She thought it was a bad omen. She was away in her thoughts when the scottish officer came back down the steps and said "Thankyou Miss. You stopped a near accident. How can i thankyou?".

"Uhh. sorry..what did you say?" Flick asked rubbing her face.

"Are you OK miss?" The officer asked concerned for her welfare and guessed she must have been in shock.

"Yes i'm fine" Flick smiled. She noticed his blue eyes which glistened in the sunlight and noted he looked extremely handsome and dashing in his uniform.

"I'm First Officer William McMaster Murdoch at your service Miss? But you can call me Will" He asked holding his hand out.

She smiled and shook his hand "I'm Felictity Nelson,but you can call me Flick".

"It's lovely to meet you Flick. We are all so grateful to you for spotting the ship in time. If we'd hit it we could have been in big trouble". Will said facing her and noting she had brown hair and green eyes and she was beautiful. He thought if only he was younger. He was far too old for her.

"I'm happy to help. I'm a keen observer so i saw it in time. I'm sorry for coming into here without permission but it was the only way of alerting you to the danger" Flick said.

"It's not a problem misss. I'm sorry for sounding sharp before" Will said regretfully.

"Would you like to go for a stroll? Or are you busy?" Flick asked very taken by this man. She loved his scottish accent and she thought it made him sound very attractive and damn sexy. She also loved his eyes and could stare into them all day. Oh dear i think i have a crush on this officer. Too bad i'm too young for him. I bet he's married anyway. She looked down at his hand and saw he had no ring on. Phewww maybe he is single?.

"I'm on duty until 4pm. But after that i'm free. I was wondering whether you would like to join me for dinner once i've finished?" Will asked hopefuly.

Her face turned bright and glowed and she said "I'd love nothing more Will.I'm staying in B52".

"I will pick you up at 6pm if that's alright?" Will asked.

"That sounds perfect Will" She said.

"I am looking forward to it" He then took her hand gently and kissed it before taking his cap off and tipping it at her and smiling as he walked off leaving her standing there admiring him from behind.
She then walked out of the restricted area with a big smile. I have a date with a Ship's officer! Mum will be so shocked!.
