Chapter Five
They stood there staring at the sunrise, both thinking about the other.
Rose hardly dared to shift in his embrace fearing that if she did he would let go of her.
She needed his arms around her more than ever; she had to know she wasn't alone in the world.
Never had Rose felt so lonely and yet so close to someone.
Jack Dawson.
She loved him, she was sure, but how did he feel?
She needed to know.
His lips were still so close.
Slowly she leaned in until she was mere inches away from kissing him.
And she knew she couldn't hold herself any longer.
Rose looked in his eyes and suddenly she saw what she had never seen before.
Or maybe she had already seen but never wanted to believe it.
She stared in his eyes and saw the same glimmer of love she had seen inside her own.
She leaned in even a little bit more and so did he.
Suddenly their lips met, the same orange glow of the sunrise still filled the air.
Rose felt his embrace grow even tighter, without knowing she let her hand play through his hair.
Jack had never felt this complete, so loved, so needed.
His mind was racing, was this really happening or was he just imagining it?
Was his mind playing tricks on him?
If it was, then why did it feel so real?
This wasn't a figment of his imagination, this was real.
As they broke the kiss, both were just a tiny little bit shy. "Rose." was all Jack was able to say.
"I'm sorry Jack, I shouldn't have done that. I'm so sorry. I didn't know what I was thinking. I would never want to."
Jack didn't let her finish her sentence.
He leaned back closer and kissed her again. This time realizing the reality of it all.
And so did she as she deepened it kiss.
God, he was an amazing kisser!
Jack was the first to break the kiss.
"Let's get you back inside. It's still pretty cold outside."
"Is that all you can say?" Rose asked.
"I know; I'm sorry. I panicked; I didn't know what to say."
Both of them couldn't help but laugh.
"I suppose we should get back inside. It is rather chilly." Rose said.
"Yeah, I suppose we should."
As they stepped inside Molly opened the door of the bedroom and peeked inside.
"Ah Rose, I see you're up. How are you feeling sweetie?"
"Very well Molly. Thank you."
Molly looked at the enormous grin on Jack's face and knew enough.
"Well I'm off to mass. I won't ask you to join me, don't worry. I don't know when I'll be back. Probably not before this afternoon. I don't feel like getting changed for lunch today. Jack take good care of Rose will you. She'd better get back in bed."
At that Molly left but she couldn't wipe away the smile on her face.
