A/N Just a quick note. I was originally going to base this story on the Murdoch and Moody from the Julian Fellowes' titanic. But as i've been sat writing this i could only picture Ewan Stewart as Murdoch and Edward Fletcher as Moody.
Please review. Any ideas or suggestions always welcome.
Flick walked back to her stateroom in a happy mood. She had a date this evening with an incredibly handsome officer. Sure he was slightly older than her but who the hell cared because she certainly didn't. To her age was just a number and it didn't matter.
Flick walked in the door to see her mother reading a book "Hi mum!" Flick said cheerfully sitting down on the bed next to her mum.
"What's gotten into you Flick?" Rachel asked putting the bookmark in her book and closing it and putting it down next to her.
"Oh.. nothing much. Can't i be cheerful without there needing to be a reason for it?" Flick smirked.
"Spill lady! Come on. Has it something to do with that young dashing officer?" Rachel asked determined to get the truth out of her daughter.
Flick backed down and said "Fine. OK i have a date tonight but it's not with THAT officer,but another".
Rachel smiled "Oh really? What is his name? Tell me all about him".
"His name is First Officer Will Murdoch" Flick began.
"Go on" Rachel said interested in the man who had charmed her daughter.
"Well i prevented the ship hitting another ship by going up on the bridge where i really should not have gone and he said thanks and invited me to dinner tonight" Flick explained with a radiant glow on her face "He's so handsome and he's scottish".
"What happened with the other ship?" Rachel asked.
"It nearly ended up hitting the titanic until i alerted the officers and they steered the titanic away from it preventing a collision" Flick explained.
"Well done honey,that was good work on your part. No wonder Will is taken with you" Rachel said.
"Oh so it can't be he thinks i'm pretty or attractive?" Flick smirked.
"I didn't mean it like that Flick. I'm sure he does find you gorgeous. The other Officer certainly seemed too" Rachel said smiling at her daughter.
"God mum,you're obsessed with him. Maybe you should try and get a date with him?" Flick smirked.
"I'm 45 Flick,i think he's a little too young for me!" Rachel playfully slapped her daughter's hand.
"Ouch mum!" Flick smirked.
"And how old is the handsome Mr Murdoch?" Rachel asked.
"I actually don't know. We didn't really get time to get to introduce ourselves before he had to get back to work,that's why we're having dinner tonight so we can get to know each other" Flick explained.
"Oh you need to tell me when you get back! God,i sound like your best friend rather than your mother" Rachel stated jokingly.
Flick leant across and kissed her mother's cheek which made Rachel smile "Because you are my best friend aswell as my mum and i love you for it. I love how i can tallk about anything with you. Thankyou for this for being the best mum in the world. I love you so much".
Rachel and Flick hugged and Rachel then said "Just be careful Flick. That's all i'm going to say. I don't want you getting hurt".
"Don't worry mum i will be careful. If something does happen between us i won't rush things." Flick smiled reassuring her mother.
"Do you need any help picking an outfit out?" Rachel smiled.
"Yes please mum" Flick said.
Flick and Rachel went through her clothes and Flick found the perfect dress for her dinner with Will. It was red and showed a little cleavage but not too much.
She then picked out a matching pair of red shoes.
Rachel helped her into the dress,with the help of her corset she did show her trim figure but perfect chest. Flick hoped Will would not be able to resist. Flick then put the shoes on.
Rachel looked at daughter with pride "You look beautiful Flick" She smiled as they sat at the dressing table and looking in the mirror.
"Do you really think that?" Flick asked.
Rachel bent down and kissed her daughter's head "Yes. And i think Will would agree".
"Thanks mum" Flick smiled.
"How would you like your hair?" Rachel asked.
"A ponytail please mum" Flick asked.
"Sure sweetheart" Rachel said as she grabbed her daughter's hairbrush and brushed her soft smooth hair and then tied it into a ponytail.
"There you go honey" Rachel smiled.
Flick admired herself in the mirror "Thanks mum".
"Would you like to borrow any makeup?" Rachel smiled.
"Just some lipstick mum thanks" Flick replied.
"I'll get mine,wait there a second" Rachel replied as she walked next door to her room and then brought in her lipstick. And then applied it to her daughter's lips.
"There you are darling" Rachel smiled admiring how beautiful her daughter was.
"Thanks mum you are the best!" She then stood up and kissed her mum on the cheek.
"You're welcome Flick. Are you meeting him or is he coming here?" Her mum asked.
"He's meeting me here at 6. You can meet him." Flick stated.
"I can't wait sweetheart" Rachel replied excited to meet the man who her daughter liked.
They spent the next hour chatting and giggling before the anxiety started to build in Flick's body as 6pm grew closer.
