LaueeeCarter: Thank you for the review and comments. I've never used the Beta Reader before so i have no idea how it works:(. I sent a for explaining the hairstyles. I always thought ponytails were worn in the early 1900's because i have seen movies/tv shows before set in the time and have seen women wear them but i can change to chignons. I think women look better with those then ponytails myself so from now on she will wear her hair like that instead of ponytails. As for the dialogue if you can let me know what sounds too modern i can change the tone to sound more Edwardian. I think perhaps re-watching Titanic and Downton Abbey may help aswell. As for spelling and grammar again if you can let me know what the issues there are i can improve. I do use spellcheck but my typing can sometimes be attrocious and i apologise if the spellcheck doesn't always pick up errors.
Saturday 13th April 1912
Flick woke up and looked at her engagement ring and smiled. She was to be Mrs Felicity Katherine Murdoch!.
She got out of bed and ran herself a hot bubble bath and she dozed off asleep in happiness and contentment in the bath.
She woke up 10 minutes later and scrubbed herself clean and then washed her hair with shampoo.
She then got out of the bath and grabbed a towel and dried herself down and went to her wardrobe and decided what to wear. She pulled out a purple dress and black heels. She then decided to go next door and tell her mum everything and ask her to put her hair up in a chignon for a change. She hadn't had her hair like that for a long time but she decided time for a change and she wanted to impress Will with her new hairstyle.
She was ready to tell her mum the news and wondered if she'd notice the ring before she had chance to tell her. She smirked thinking about it.
She then opened her room door and walked out and then closed it behind her and then knocked on her mum's door.
"Good morning sweetheart how are you?" Rachel smiled at her daughter.
"Hi mum i'm very well thankyou,how are you?" Flick replied holding up her hand.
Rachel saw the engagement ring and said "Are you and Will..." She asked excitedly.
"Yes we are mum. He proposed at dinner last night!" Flick exclaimed hugging her mum who was also over the moon.
"I am so happy for you both!" Rachel said kissing the top of her daughter's head.
Flick's tone became serious "I know it probably seems fast but it feels perfect. He's perfect".
"If it feels right sweetheart then you have to follow your heart. I couldn't be anymore happier for you sweetheart." Rachel said happy her daughter had found her perfect man.
"I love you so much mum" Flick said.
"And i love you too" Rachel replied "So what are you doing today darling?".
"Well Will is on duty this morning so i was thinking of going up there and surprising him" Flick stated. "Do you know what i'm thinking of doing mum?" She then asked her mum.
"What's that?" Rachel asked.
"I'm thinking of dropping my nickname and going by Felicity. It sounds more grownup." Flick stated.
"If it makes you happy do it. But do not change how you are to please him. You know your own mind Felicity" Rachel said seriously.
"I know mum. I'm doing it for me" Stated Felicity. "I'm trying out an old hairstyle,can you give me a hand please mum?".
"Of course darling. What would you like?" Asked Rachel.
"I would like my hair to be in the style of a chignon please" Felicity asked.
"Of course Felicity. Let me get some pins" Rachel said going into her drawer and pulling out a few pins.
"Sit in the chair" Rachel asked.
Felicity sat in the chair where her mother brushed her hair when it was down. She then took the pins and pinned her hair into a knot at the back of her daughter's head.
"You look beautiful Felicity" Rachel said admiring her work and her beautiful daughter.
Felicity looked in the mirror and said "Thank you mum. I will see you later. I love you".
"I love you too. Make sure you get some breakfast" Rachel said sternly.
"I will mum. Bye" Felicity said leaving her mother's room.
Felicity then went back to her room and grabbed a cardigan incase it was cold outside.
She then locked her room behind her and proceeded to the bridge.
When she got there she saw James and Joe.
She shouted "James! Is Will around?".
James turned to face her and sharply said "No he is not".
She felt shocked by his outburst and walked backwards. He felt remorse when he saw the shock in her face so he left his post and walked down the small steps to be near her "Look,i'm sorry i snapped ok. I'm very tired" James said.
"Do you want to talk about it if you have the time?" She asked sincerly wanting to know what was bothering him enough to snap at her.
"Yes i can Flick" he smiled slightly.
"I go by my proper name now James. So you can call me Felicity" She stated.
"I think Felicity suits you better. It makes you even more beautiful than you already are" James smiled. "And your hair suits you better than ponytails".
She blushed "Thanky ou James. Did Will tell you our news?" She asked as they walked side by side to a bench and sat down next to each other.
He felt crushed like he did before when Will came on shift with a massive smile and told him and Joe that he had got engaged to Felicity.
"Yes you are both engaged" he said sadly.
"You don't sound too happy. Why?" She asked wanting to know how he really felt about her.
"Because i really like you and have this feeling in my heart you are the girl for me. And it causes pain in my heart seeing you engaged to Will. I wish you were mine Ok? Now you know" James said putting his head in his hands.
She felt sorry for him so she decided to put her arm around him and then rubbed his back "I am so sorry for hurting you James. I never intended too. I fell in love with Will and i cannot change that".
"I know you never intended to hurt you but you have OK?. I haven't been able to think about anything other than you for the last couple of days. I wake up wishing you were beside me." he said confessing his feelings to her. "If you hadn't have fallen in love with Will,would you have liked me instead?".
"I don't know James. And i will never know what may or may not have happened. I'm engaged to Will and i will be marrying him sometime in the future. And i would really like you to remain in my life" Felicity said lying because she did feel something for him.
"And i want to be in yours. If i have to choose between watching you and Will be together but us remaining friends or walking away from you altogether. I would choose watching you two together because i could not bear to not have you in my life. You're the only woman who has ever shown any respect and kindness for me,apart from female relatives that is" James stated.
"Friends?" She said offering him a hug.
"Friends forever Felicitty" he said wrapping his arms around her and snuggling into her not wanting to let her go.
If it was only friendship she could give him,then he would take it. It was better than nothing.
A/N Awww i just want to give James a hug myself:(
