James and Flick were still in the library whe James plucked up the courage and asked "Would you like to take afternoon tea with me?" he asked blushing.

"I would like that James" she smiled putting the book back on the shelf.

"Would you like to take my arm Flick?" he then asked shyly.

"I'd like that" She smiled taking hold of his arm. It was sending goosebumps down her back being this close to him. She could smell his cologne and it was different to Will's.

They arrived at the cafe and James held a chair out for her to sit on. He then sat next to her removing hs cap and placing it on the table.

"What do you fancy Flick?" he asked reading the menu.

"Finger sandwiches sound nice" She looked up at him from the menu.

"What flavours would you like?" he asked.

"Ham and cheese sounds tasty" She replied.

He looked across at her and smiled "Anything else for you my lady?" He asked in a flirty manner.

"A nice cup of tea please" She answered smiling at him.

"Ok beautiful. I'll and over to the counter and order for us" he smiled getting up and walking over to the counter.

Flick sat there and watched him from a far. She could not deny he was handsome and extremely cute.

He walked back over with a massive smile carrying a tray full of sandwiches and a pot of tea to share.

"There you go. Would you like me to pour the tea?" he asked sitting down.

"Yes please" She replied.

"How do you take your tea?" He laughed realising he had no idea how she liked her tea.

"Milky with two sugars please" She replied.

He then proceeded to make the tea and then handed a cup and saucer to her "There you go" He said.

"Thankyou James" She said taking a sip and exclaimed "Wow James this is the best cup of tea i have ever tasted! What is your recipe?" She asked.

His face lit up after she gave him the compliment "Thankyou Flick. I'm afraid i could not tell you. It's a secret" He said placing his finger on his lip. "The Captain and the other officers know because i regularly make them tea and they forced me to tell them"

"Spoilsport!" she exclaimed playfully. "Maybe i should force you to tell me" She smirked evily at him.

He just chuckled tucking into the plate of sandwiches and admiring the beautiful woman infront of him.

James broke the silence and needed to ask her a question "When the ship docks can we remain in contact?".

She smiled and said "I'd really like that. Maybe you could come over and visit when you arrive in New York. All you have to do is write to me and let me know when you're due over and we'll arrange a spare room for you and we can hang out".

He felt happy for the first time in a long time. He felt like he had a special friend,someone who genuinely cared for him and wanted to be around him. The only problem was he wanted more than friendship.

"I'd really like that Flick. I'll write my address down on paper so you can write to me when you and your mum have a place sorted and then when i am due to come over to New York we can arrange things" He smiled as he took a piece of paper and pencil out of his pocket and wrote his address down and then handed it to her.

She said "Thankyou" and then read his address "Oh wow you live all the way in Scarborough. What's it like there?" She asked interested.

"It's very nice. I still live at home with my old folks" he said feeling embarrased.

"It's nothing to be embarased about James. I'm older than you and i still live with my mum!" She exclaimed putting her hand ontop of his on the table.

He blushed "Well that's another thing we have in common" he smiled warmly at her.

"When's your birthday James?" She asked.

"I was born on the 21st august 1887. Why?" he asked.

"So i know when to send your birthday card of course!" She smirked.

"Oh" he smirked back "When's yours?" he then asked.

"Mine's just gone. 10th february 1887" She said.

"Another thing we have in common" he noted "We were both born in 1887,just six months apart".

"Funny isn't it?" She smiled.

"What would you like to do the next time i'm in New York?" He then asked.

"Maybe we could visit a bookstore and go bookhunting" She suggested.

"I'd like that a lot. I'll make sure i bring some books of my own with me,and if you on't own them you can borrow them until i visit again" He said.

"That sounds great. I can't wait" She said.

"Believe me,i cannot wait" he said meaning it with all his heart. He then asked "What are you and Will going to do? Is he moving to New York to be with you?".

"We haven't discussed it yet. We have only been together for a day or so. But i'm hoping so" She said optimistically.

"Well if i had a girl who lived far away i wouldn't hesistate to leave Scarborough just to be with her. If it was America,Spain,France,wherever. If i truly loved her then we'd be together no matter how far i would have to travel and leave my family behind." James said.

He noted the serious expression on her face "Well one day James,the girl who comes along who makes you want to give up your life for her will be extremely lucky".

I wish it was you. James said in his head.

They finished their tea in silence. It was getting near 6pm and Flick had dinner with Will to get ready for.

"I have to be getting back James. Will will be along in a bit" She said. She could see the hurt in James's eyes.

"Ok,i'll escort you back" He said feeling down not wanting the day to end and certainly not wanting her to go to the man he considered a love rival for the woman who had his affections. And to make him feel worse,he considered Will a really good friend and someone he could trust with anything. This made the situation even more difficult. And he certainly did not want to hurt Will or take the woman Will loved from him.

"Are you alright James?" She asked noticing his voice changing from happy to sad.

"Yes i'm fine" He suddenly smiled fakely.

They both stood up. James placed his cap ontop of his head and Flick took his arm and they walked back to her room.

"Flick?" He asked.

"Yeah" she replied looking at him.

"I had a really nice time" He smiled.

"So did i" She smiled back.

"Can i kiss your cheek?" he asked shyly.

"Of course you can" She said.

He then reached across and kissed her cheek softly which sent goosebumps down her body.

"See you hopefully tomorrow Flick" He said.

"Yep you will" She said watching him walk away and then she opened her door and went inside closing it behind her and falling on her bed in frustration.

What has come over me? I have the most wonderful man in the entire universe whom i love with my whole heart and he loves me back. And i swore to myself that i felt nothing for James but now i just don't know. There's something there with James and i just don't know what it is. I could scream right now but i don't want to alert anyone especially to something so stupid like being Torn Between Two Officers.. And Two extremely sweet,sexy,kind and handsome officers at that.

A/N Dun dun dun Poor Flick. She is in a predicament. If i were in her shoes i wouldn't know what to do either. Please vote in my poll on my page for who you would like to see Flick choose. So far Will has 2 votes and poor James has 0 votes. :(. And i still have not decided yet who will survive and it's so hard to choose! But only one of the two officers will live and walk away with Flick after the sinking. That's why i have posted a poll to help me decide!. As i would like my readers to have a say.
