JACK AND ROSE: TOGETHER FOREVER
Chapter Twelve
Later That Night
Rose looked at the letter she had just
finished for Brittany, it said:
Dear Brittany,
Hello! How are you? I am sorry I haven't
written anything sense we left. Anyway we have been having a great time! The
weather here has been great, only just about two days of rain. We are settled
in an apartment of our own now. It overlooks the Santa Monica beach and the
beach is only about a two-minute walk away. We went down there today. It was
great! So how is everything in New York? Good I hope. Have you meet anyone nice
or interesting at school yet? I hope so, you need a boyfriend. How are Dianna
and Bryan? Good I assume. You and them need to come out soon. Like very soon.
How about in June? I'll ask Jack about it, but I am sure it will be fine. If
and when you do come you will have to bring some swimming clothes so we can go
swimming in the ocean. You will absolutely love it out here! Well I have to go.
Write back soon. My address in on the letter. Tell Dianna to write also. I'll
talk to you soon!
Love you,
Rose Dawson
'That sounds good.' Rose thought to herself.
"Rose." Jack said coming into the
bedroom. Rose jumped as the sound of his voice.
"Oh hi. Sorry you scared me. You are
getting good at that you know." Jack just came over and sat by her on the
bed.
"How would you like it if we went out to
dinner tonight?" Jack asked her.
"Oh Jack that would be great! What time
is it now and what time are we going go?" Rose asked.
"Wow, Rose slow down. To start out it is
about five-thirty. I would hope to leave at about six or six-fifteen. Is that
OK will you?"
"Jack you don't have to ask if I want to
go or when. Of course it is OK." Rose said leaning up to kiss him.
"Just give me about twenty
minutes."
"Alright." Jack said getting up.
"I need that much time too." They both went to get dressed.
"Jack should I wear this dress or this
one." Rose said holding up two different dresses.
"Rose don't get dressed up." Jack
said coming out of the bathroom.
"Why Jack? I assumed we were going
somewhere fancy." Rose asked a confused look on her face.
"Oh I'll tell you what we are doing when
we get there. Now just get any dress on and hurry up."
"OK, OK." Rose said putting the
dressed down and grabbing a regular lavender one she had. Ten minutes later she
was ready.
"Jack! Jack lets go." Rose yelled
from the living room. Jack came out, his keys in hand. Rose smiled her biggest
smile at Jack. Than he came over and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Ready?" Rose asked looking at him.
Jack nodded and they left the apartment.
Once they were outside, Rose cuddled closer
to Jack. She had forgotten how cold it could get on spring nights. Even if it
was hot during the day.
"Cold?" Jack asked looking down at
her.
"Just a little. I am better now."
Rose replied. Jack had explained to her that sense the restaurant was only a
little ways away that they would walk there. Rose looked around. The sun was
just beginning to set and was giving the water a heavenly look. She sighed
continently thinking that she couldn't be any happier.
As soon as they got into town, Jack told Rose
to close her eyes. Rose looked confused, but obeyed Jack. She felt Jack leading
her around the town.
"OK Rose there is a step here, be
careful." Jack directed her.
"Alright." Rose said keeping her
eyes closed. She felt herself being led into a store of come kind.
"OK, open your eyes." Jack directed
her. Roses' eyes fluttered open and she gasped. She was in the middle of a
fancy dress store.
"Jack..." Rose started.
"Shh, Rose I want you to pick out any
dress you want. A really nice one that will be your best. Any maybe a nightgown
to." Jack told Rose with a gleam in his eyes.
"Jack!" Rose exclaimed.
"Oh my gosh you are going to spoil
me!" Jack just grinned.
"Well Rose…" Jack said hinting that
she should choose what she wanted now. Rose smiled and stared looking around
the store. After going through every rack, she finally found one that she
liked. And it was on sale too!
"Come on Jack you are going to help me
try this on." Rose said dragging him toward the dressing room. When they
were in on of the dressing room, Rose got undressed and pulled the delicate
dress over her head. It was a long tight red one with a black silk overdress
over it and beads on that.
"Well…" Rose asked turning around.
Jacks jaw dropped.
"That is gorgeous Rose!" Jack
finally got out.
"Should I get it?" Rose asked.
"Yep." Jack replied. Rose nodded
and pulled it back over her head and slipped on her other dress. Rose handed
the dress to Jack and said.
"Now about that nightgown." She got
up and pulled Jack along with her again. Rose led Jack over to the lingerie
area with Jack blushing the whole time. Rose smirked at his blushing. She
looked over the racks and finally decided on a slightly reveling nightgown that
was black with white lace around the low-cut collar.
"Like it?" Rose asked a still
blushing Jack. Jack just nodded.
"Can I get it daddy?" Rose asked like
a little kid. Jack just laughed at that.
"Ya, I if ya want." Rose nodded and
placed it in her arms. Than she walked over to Jack and took his hand and led
him over to the check out counter. He paid for her stuff with a red face. When
they finished, Jack took the bag and led Rose out of there as fast as they
could. Once they were outside Rose almost collapsed in laughter.
"Oh my gosh Jack! Your face is so bloody
red."
"Well Rose, you try doing that
sometime." Jack told her.
"Come on, let's go find a place where
you can change into that dress. You have to wear something like that to the
place we are going." Rose, who had stopped laughing, nodded. They carried
the bag to a small café. Rose went inside, while Jack stayed outside, and asked
to use the restroom so she could change. The waitress nodded and let her to a
small restroom in the back of the café. There Rose changed into the dress and
let her hair out if the bun on top of her head. It fell freely down her back as
she shook it out. Than she came out of the restroom and thanked the waitress.
Going outside she saw that it was now dark.
"Rose! You look wonderful darling!"
Jack called coming over to her.
"Thank you Jack." Rose told him
handing the bag with her nightgown and old dress in it to him.
"But I believe we were going to
dinner."
"Oh yes Mrs. Dawson. Let's get
going." Jack told her taking her hand in his own. Rose gave him a smile
and let him lead her to the restaurant.
