Edward and Bella spent the day together in Rose's room, then before sunset, they walked outside to watch the sunset together
Bella sighed, " One more day"
" Everything will be fine... for us Bella" Edward said
" If only the others know what is about to happen tomorrow night" Bella whispered
" Bella we cannot change history" Edward warned
Bella nodded, " I know"
Edward put his arms around Bella as they watched the sunset
Somebody behind them cleared their throat and the two turned around
" Mother" Bella said composing herself, an engaged woman should not be in another man's arms, " Countess Rothes, Mrs. Brown... what a... pleasant surprise"
" Who is this fine gentleman?" Molly Brown asked
" This is Jack Dawson" Bella said and then smiled, " My rescuer"
" Well Jack, you're a good man to have around in a sticky situation" Molly Brown said with a smile
All of a sudden the signal for dinner made everybody jump
Molly sighed in annoyance, " Why do they always insist on announcing dinner like a damn Calvary charge?
" Um... should we go dress for dinner mother?" Bella asked
Ruth nodded
Bella turned and faced Edward again, " I'll see you later"
Bella, Ruth and the Countess began walking away from Edward and Molly Brown
Bella heard Molly Brown ask what Edward was going to wear
" Rose are you listening to me? I said you need to wear a hat while in the sun" Ruth said
" Yes mother" Bella said resisting rolling her eyes
Bella was dressed in a red and black dress with pearls on it and she wore white gloves
After everybody was dressed for dinner, she still couldn't figure out why they had to dress up in formal attire for dinner, Bella suggested that Cal escort Ruth to dinner and that is what he did
Cal and Ruth walked down the stairs to dinner first with Bella behind them, Bella saw Edward waiting for her and he smiled when he saw her
Bella carefully walked down the stairs so she wouldn't trip
Edward took her hand and kissed it, " You look beautiful"
Bella blushed then turned to Cal and Ruth, " Cal, you remember Mr. Dawson
"Dawson! I didn't recognize you" Cal said surprised, "Amazing! You could almost pass for a gentlemen"
Bella rolled her eyes when Cal and Ruth weren't looking, " You are way more gentlemanly then he is, I've never met so many stuck up snobby rich people in my life"
Edward smirked
" Care to escort a lady to dinner Jack?" Molly Brown asked coming up to the two
Edward held out his other arm to Molly Brown
" Ain't nothing to it, is there Jack?" Molly Brown asked, " Acting like you have money"
" Nothing too it, just dress like you're going to a funeral and keep your nose up" Edward said
" Remember, the only thing they respect is money, so pretend you have a lot of it and you're in the club" Molly Brown instructed
" That shouldn't be too hard for you" Bella said with a smile
Edward smirked at her again
They entered the room and Molly Brown thanked Edward for escorting her and she left
" I like her, she's the nicest rich lady I've seen on this ship" Bella said
Edward smiled and nodded, " So what have you learned so far?"
" Well, she's the Unsinkable Molly Brown... um that is John Jacob Astor who is the richest man on the ship he impregnated his seventeen year old wife Madeleine... Um, that there is Sir Cosmo and Lucile, Lady Duff-Gordon... she is a designer for naughty lingerie and is very popular with the royals" Bella started
" Very good, you have been paying attention" Edward said with a smirk
Bella rolled her eyes, " Over there is Benjamin Guggenheim and his mistress, Madame Aubert... Mrs. Guggenheim is at home with the children
Everybody goes towards the dining room
" J.J, Madeleine, I'd like you to meet Jack Dawson" Bella introduced Edward
Astor shook Edward's hand, " Good to meet you Jack... Are you of the Boston Dawsons?"
" No, the Chippewa Falls Dawsons, actually" Edward said with a smile
" Splendid, splendid" Astor said with a smile
After everybody was seated, everybody started talking to Edward
Edward answered their questions and asked his own, he looked like he was having a lot of fun, everybody was having a lot of fun except for Cal and Ruth, Ruth had to end the charade
" So, Mr. Dawson, tell us what steerage is like" Ruth said
Edward smiled, " There are hardly any rats, the best I've seen them"
A lot of the people at the table were confused
" Mr. Dawson here is joining us from third class, he was of some assistance to my fiancee the other night" Cal explained
There were whispers and people were giving Edward strange looks
" So, Mr. Dawson, where exactly do you live?" Ruth asked
" Well" Edward said taking a sip of his champagne, " Right now it's Titanic... Then after that my plan is visiting Chicago" He winked at Bella
Bella smiled
" So how is it you have the means to travel?" Ruth asked
" Well, to get the Titanic ticket, I played a lucky hand of poker" Edward said, " I work different odd jobs to make a living"
After dinner and more questions, the men excused themselves and went to the smoking room to have brandies
" Well, I better be going... my coach is about to turn back into a pumpkin" Edward said standing up
" Must you go?" Bella asked
Edward nodded
He kissed Bella's hand again and slipped a piece of paper into it then with one last smile, he walked away
Bella opened up the note when nobody was looking
" Make it count, meet me at the clock" It read
Bella excused herself and walked towards the clock where Edward was waiting
" I don't want to go to another party, I can't dance remember?" Bella said
" I don't want to dance either... I was thinking more along the lines of taking a stroll around Titanic just talking and being with each other" Edward said
Bella nodded, she liked that idea
" After our walk, since you're human... can we do some human things that we couldn't do before?" Bella asked with a blush, " Like you not holding back for a change when we kiss?"
Edward smiled and nodded
" Are we going to run down to below deck and make out in a car like Jack and Rose did?" Bella asked a little excited with that thought
Edward grinned, " We'll see... tomorrow like Rose and Jack did"
Bella smirked, " Are you going to draw my picture as well?"
Now it was Edward's turn to blush
They spent as much time as they could that night, walking around the Titanic and looking at the stars
Bella sighed, " By this time tomorrow, everybody will be in a panic"
Edward didn't say anything
Later that night, Edward walked Bella to the door to her suite after making sure nobody saw them
" Well, goodnight" Bella said with a smile
" Good night" Edward said with his own smile and he kissed Bella's hand
They didn't dare kiss romantically because somebody could be watching
With one last smile at Edward, Bella went inside her suite
