ESCAPE: A JACK AND ROSE STORY
Chapter Fifteen

Jack put the diamond back in the safe as Rose was putting her clothes back on. She walked out of the bedroom and to the sitting room where Jack was. He kissed her. She eagerly kissed back, wanting more. He picked her up and carried her to the bed. He grazed over her neck and she put her fingers through his hair. As she was just about to unbutton his shirt, there was a knock at the door. "Jack?" the feminine voice asked. The next thing the two lovers heard were keys rattling.

"Shit," Jack said, helping Rose off of the bed. They ran out the back of the room, holding hands.

"That was close," Rose whispered, smiling up at the man she adored. He smiled back and looked behind them to see Elizabeth Hockley behind them.

"Come on!" Jack said. They ran to an elevator. His former fiancée’s bodyguard was chasing after them with Elizabeth behind him. As they went down on the elevator, Jack and Rose looked at each other, then back at Elizabeth and the manservant, Lovejoy, and they both shot the finger.

Astonished, Lovejoy told Elizabeth to go back to the room. He began to chase after them, using the stairs.

Laughing, Jack and Rose got off of the elevator at E-Deck and went further down using the stairs. They went through some doors, each hoping they wouldn't be seen again. "Pretty tough for a bodyguard, this fellow. He seems more like a cop," Rose said.

"I think he was," Jack said, out of breath.

"Oh, shit!" Jack and Rose said in unison when they saw Lovejoy coming for them. The couple ran down the hallway and turned to a dead-end. Hoping that a door would open, they found one that did and went inside. It happened to lead to the boiler room.

"What are we going to do now?!" Rose asked, trying to say it louder than the boilers. Their hands were over their ears at the loud noise.

"What?!" asked Jack. They laughed at each other.

Jack climbed down and into the boiler room, then helped Rose climb down, too.

"Hey, what are you two doing down here? You shouldn't be down here! It could be dangerous-" the man tried to say, but Jack and Rose ran off, Rose leading.

"Don't mind us! You're doing a great job! Keep up the good work!" Jack yelled to the workers. Rose looked back at him and laughed.

They stopped for a passionate kiss in front of a boiler. The blaze outlined them both in a majestic glow. Rose looked at him, wondering how she could get so lucky. He touched her face, softly, and kissed her. She moaned with pleasure. But all too soon, the kiss ended and he led her to a door, which led to the cargo hold.
