A/N Please vote on my poll on my profile on who you think Felicity should end up with. Will? Or James?

Thursday 11th April 1912

Flick woke up in a happy and bubbly mood. She was excited about seeing Will again and felt a warm feeling thinking back to dinner last night.

She got out of bed and chose what she was going to wear during the day and then had a warm bath. Once she had finished she got dressed into a lilac dress and let her hair down.

There was a knock on her door. She got butterflies thinking it could be Will but she knew he would be asleep now.

She went over to the door and answered it,it was her mum with a massive grin on her face "Come in mum" Flick smiled.

Rachel sat down on a chair and said "So?".

"So what?" Asked Flick in denial.

"How was dinner with Will?" Her mum asked.

"It was really lovely" Flick smiled happily.

"Awww that's great honey. What did you both get upto afterwards?"Rachel smirked.

"We didn't kiss if that's what you're thinking" Flick exclaimed.

"I wasn't thinking that at all" Her mother exclaimed. Of course that was what she was thinking!.

"We went up on deck and met James and Joe,two of Will's officer friends. And by the way the one you kept saying was checking me out is called James Moody and you were right,he was checking me out. He couldn't take his eyes off me and kept blushing. It was making Will uncomfortable" Flick explained.

"Seee! I told you he was!" Rachel exclaimed "Which one do you like better? Will or James? Because it is ok to like both you know. You should give each one a fair chance and spend time getting to know them both and then decide from there".

"I like Will mum" Flick said truthfully.

"But have you spent time getting to know James properly?" Asked Rachel.

"Well... no i haven't. He hasn't asked to spend time with me" Flick said.

"Then try and spend time with him. He deserves a fair chance Flick. You might find you are better suited with James. Did you find out their ages?" Rachel then asked.

"James is 24 and Will is 38 mum" Flick answered her mum.

"Ok sweetheart. But as i said spend time with James too before deciding anything" Rachel said as she stood up and kissed her daughter's forehead and said "I'm going for breakfast now would you like to join me?" She asked.

"I'm not really hungry mum. I think i'm going to head up on deck and get some air" Flick smiled.

"Ok Flick. Make sure you eat something" Rachel replied.

"I will mum" Flick said before walking over to her mum and hugging her "I love you".

"I love you too Flick. See you later on" Rachel said walking out of the room leaving Flick alone.

Flick sat back down and went over what her mum said. Her mum was absolutely right. She needed to get to know James aswell. But she knew deep in her heart she wanted to be with Will but she thought it was only fair to see James too.

Flick left her room and took a stroll up on deck and leant over the railing watching the water hit the ship below.

Suddenly she heard a voice say "Hi Felicity" She turned to look at who was speaking to her,it was James of all people.

"Oh hey James. What are you doing here? Aren't you working?" Flick asked smiling. She studied his face. He had chestnut brown hair,hazel eyes and adorable dimples and the most cutest smile.

"I've actually just finished my shift and was on my way to bed when i saw you so i thought i'd come over and say hi" James smiled looking at her. She really was the most beautifullest woman he had ever laid eyes on in all his 24 years.

"That's very kind of you James. Shall we sit down?" Flick asked.

"I'd like that" he said as they walked over to a bench and sat down. James took his cap off his head and held it in his hands.

"You and Will are getting on well. He won't stop talking about you. It's actually getting annoying now" James said smirking.

"We're just friends James. He's a nice man and i'm glad to have a friend onboard" Flick stated hoping to not give James the impression she and Will were dating.

"Well he certainly seems to think there's more going on between you two" James stated.

"There isn't trust me" Flick said honestly. "Anyway i was coming to find you".

"Oh yeah?" He said excitely. "Why is that?".

"I wanted to spend some time getting to know you"Flick stated.

"Oh thanks that's very kind of you. Nobody usually does" James said sadly.

"Why?" Flick asked.

"Because.. well i don't actually know to be honest" He answered.

"Surely you have a girl?" She asked.

"Nope. I'm single" He stated.

"How is that possible?" She asked astonished at how someone as gorgeous as him could be single.

"Not many girls are interested in a penniless sailor who is at the bottom of the ranks" He said sadly.

"Oh James,i'm sure you're climb the ranks in time. Everyone has to start at the bottom and work their way up. I bet Will was at the bottom at your age. And i'm sure you're be as high as he is once you reach his age" Flick said trying to cheer him up.

She's amazing. She's so understanding. No wonder Will likes her so much. James said in his head.

"Thanks Flick,you are very sweet to me and i don't deserve it" James said.

"Stop being so hard on yourself James. And as for being penniless,who the hell cares aslong as you have a big heart to offer someone?" She said.

"I hope i do. But i've never opened up my heart to anyone before" He said truthfully.

He is so asorable wow how is he single? Unfortunately i do not feel THAT way for him. I can see him being a brother to me but as for a boyfriend? No i want Will to fill that role.

"Then you should James" She said.

"Do you read much?" James asked changing the subject as it was making him feel awkward.

"I love books!" Flick exclaimed "I haven't read at all since the voyage began. If you would like come back to my stateroom and i'll show you some of my books".

"I'd really like that. Maybe we could visit the ship's library afterwards?" He suggested.

"Does the ship really have it's own library?" Flick said in amazement.

"Of course Flick! It's where i spend most of my spare time on here which isn't much as i'm either working,eating or asleep. I rarely have time for myself" He stated.

"If you're too tired we don't have to do this" She said.

He placed his hand ontop of hers and smiled "I want to" he said.

"Let's go back to my stateroom" She said as they both got up.

"Would you like to take my arm?" Asked James.

"Sure" She smiled as she took his arm and they walked back to her stateroom.

Once they reached the room,she unlocked it and they both went inside.

She walked over to a shelf and said "Here you go. Every book i own".

James knelt down and looked through her book collection "Wow Flick you have some great classics! Pride and Prejudice,Sense and Sensibility,War and Peace,Emma,Mansfield Park,Persuasion,Northanger Abbey. You are a Jane Austen fan aren't you?" He asked smiling.

"Yes,i love her works,she is amazing" Flick replied.

"So do i" James replied gazing at her and then went back to looking through her collection "Gulliver's Travels,Robinson Crusoe,David Copperfield,Vanity Fair. My god Flick i have all these! They are all amazing books".

"They are James. I want to stop by the library and see what they have to offer" Flick smiled.

"Allow me to escort you?" He asked.

"Of course" She smiled.

Flick took James's arm and they walked to the library.

"Are you not tired James?" She asked concerned.

"No i'm fine" he said as he let out a yawn which made Flick giggle.

"I think you are" She smiled.

"Well ok,maybe a little, but i'd rather be spending time with you than asleep. Afterall you sleep when you're dead,and life is for living and spending time having fun" James said.

"You're absolutely right James!" She smiled at him and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

They reached the library and spent a good hour sat together flicking through and discussing books. Whilst she was starting to see a lovely friendship bloom,James was seeing her as more than a friend.

"Right i'm going back to my cabin for some i spend any longer here with books i will fall asleep. I can escort you back to your room if you are ready to leave?" he asked.

"I'm fine here James. I'm going to stay for a bit and read. I'll see you later maybe?" She asked.

"I'm sure you will. I've had a lovely time and thankyou for taking pity on such a loser and spending time with me" He smirked. He bent down and kissed her cheek. "Bye" he then said.

"Bye James,sleep well and you are not a loser,far from it" She said as he left the library and she went back to the book she was reading.
