JACK AND ROSE: TOGETHER FOREVER
Chapter Forty-One

"Oh my God this is huge!" Rose exclaimed. She was standing in the doorway of their hotel room in Paris. They had finally gotten off of the ship earlier this morning and had just gotten to the hotel where the art people had booked a room for them. They had also insisted on paying for the few days the Dawson's were here because of them. But they had said for the three weeks or so they had decided to stay was on their account.

"Holy shit," Jack whispered as he walked in.

Rose laughed, "They know how to treat their guests huh?"

"Guess so," Jack said nodded. Just then the three bellmen came in and placed their many bags down. "Thanks," Jack said handing each of them a tip.

Rose sent them away and closed the door. She looked around. The room was beautiful with its own bathroom, king-size bed, a big balcony, and couches and pillows galore.

"Guess we lucked out," Jack said wrapping his arms around Rose.

"We sure did. Look at this room. It's like a dream."

"And we get it all to ourselves!" Jack said suddenly picking Rose up and spinning her around. "No annoying stewards poking in this time."

Rose laughed, "Thank God for that."

Jack smiled and put her down. "I don't know about you but I am gonna explore and see what I can find," he said. Rose grinned and went with Jack to see the bathroom. There was a huge tub and shower. A big long counter with two sinks. There were even free bottles of shampoo and soap in the shower and next to sink. Something Jack had never seen. "This is great," he said looking everything over. "When did they start doing this?" Jack asked holding up the shampoo bottle.

Rose shrugged, "I don't know. But I know they only do it at the finer hotels."

Jack shook his head, "Wow. This is amazing."

"I know, it is wonderful. To bad we have to leave in a few days."

"Yeah, I am sorry I can't afford to have us stay here for the whole time," Jack said looking over the porcelain bathroom.

"Oh Jack, I don't mind at all. As long as we've got a roof over our heads I am fine. Besides, I only care about being with you. I didn't mean to sound like that, sorry."

Jack smiled, "Its okay. I was thinking that too, so no pressure."

Rose smiled, "Thanks. I am going to go look around, okay."

"Hmmm," Jack replied still absorbed in the bathroom.

Rose shook her head and left the bathroom. The bedroom was like something you would find in a castle. There was a huge four-post bed that had cream colored drapes you could close around for extra privacy. On the bed there was a maroon comforter and millions of pillows. On each side of the bed there was a small nightstand and lamp. At the foot of the bed was a big decorative footstool that almost looked like a couch. Around the room were fancy couches and chairs and even a phone! Rose gawked at the phone. She had never seen phones in hotel rooms before. Only a few people in their neighborhood had phones. And now hotel rooms were starting to have phones. Rose nodded her head, impressed at all this. Rose smiled and went out on to the balcony. Outside there was some wicker furniture and a beautiful view of Paris. Rose could even see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. Maybe she could get Jack to take her there sometime. Sighing happily, she walked back into the bedroom, closing the French style doors behind her. Rose flopped down on the bed and smiled. This trip was going to be wonderful. She grinned and sank farther down in the soft feather pillows. Just then Jack came from the bathroom. "You've been in there that whole time?" Rose asked.

"Yeah," Jack said lying down by Rose. "You won't believe some of the stuff they have in there. The tub is huge, there are two sinks, a shower, tons of little soap things. I mean this place has everything."

Rose nodded, "Yeah, I had forgotten how done up some of these hotels can be."

Jack pulled Rose into his arms, "Well, I have never seen anything like this. This will be something new for me."

Rose smiled and rolled over on top of Jack. "This is going to be an amazing vacation," she said before kissing Jack.

"Mmm, I know. Hopefully this art thing will go over well, and fast, and we can get to the more important things in this trip."

"Like what?" Rose playfully asked.

"Having fun, making memories, trying new things, exploring France. Causing mischief," Jack said smiling.

"Jack!"

"Okay, okay, maybe not causing mischief. But the rest of that stuff is definitely in."

Rose smiled, "And what about spending time alone?"

"Ah, that's in there too. Lot's of times," Jack said kissing Rose on the forehead.

"Jack?"

"Hmm?"

"Will you please tell me what I had to bring my wedding dress for?"

"Sorry," Jack said. "I can't tell you until later. It's nothing bad, believe me. Just forget about it until later."

Rose rolled her eyes, "All right. So tomorrow is the big day huh?"

Jack nodded, "I hope the people like me. And I hope they like my new work too."

Rose smiled, "They will. Don't worry about it. You're new work is wonderful."

"Of course you think it is," Jack teased. "It's mostly of you!"

Rose laughed and then kissed Jack. "I get to come tomorrow, right?" she asked.

Jack gave her a weird look, "Yeah, why wouldn't you?"

Rose shrugged, "I don't know. I just thought maybe I would make you nervous or something or maybe you didn't want me tagging along."

"I don't mind at all. In fact, I want you to be there more than anyone. Plus, I need to introduce you to everyone."

Rose smiled, "I love you Jack."

Jack kissed her check, "I love you too."

Rose kissed Jack softly on the mouth.

"And Rose?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you move your leg?"

Rose starting laughing, but moved her leg. "Better?" she asked.

"Much," Jack said before starting to laugh.

Rose shook her head and laughed. "Jack, Jack," she said before putting her head on his chest. "You are crazy," Rose said, her voice muffled.

"Hmmm, I know," Jack replied jokingly.

"But I love you anyway," Rose said kissing him on the check.

"I love you too Rose," Jack said, smiling at her.

*******************************

Rose was sitting in bed having the greatest time closing the curtains around the bed. "Jack, watch this!" Rose called.

Jack came out of the bathroom and looked at her, "What?"

"Come in here and look at this," Rose said. Jack climbed into bed with her and laid down. Rose closed all the curtains making the bed an enclosed area. "Isn't this wonderful?" Rose asked lying down by Jack.

"Yep," Jack said. "Look at the shadows those lamps are casting."

Rose just nodded. Through the cream colored curtains, the room held a hellish glow from the lamps that were lit around the room. "It's beautiful," Rose whispered.

"Hmm," Jack said kissing her forehead. Rose closed her eyes and rested her head on Jack's shoulder. Jack draped his arm around her. "Tired?" he asked.

"Exhausted," Rose said. "I could sleep forever."

Jack chuckled. "I wouldn't want you to sleep forever angel," he said winking.

Rose smiled, "I don't think I would really want to. I just said that."

"Hmmm," Jack said nodding. Then they both laughed.

"Really Jack," Rose said shaking her head. Jack just smiled at her.

"So what time to do we have to be there tomorrow?" Rose asked.

"Umm, by ten I think," Jack replied twirling a strand of Rose's hair.

"Okay," Rose said, "so we have to leave around nine, right?"

Jack nodded, "Yep, I figured we'd walk. Is that okay? Its not that far."

"Its fine. I think it'll be nice to take a morning walk."

"Hmmm, me too," Jack said kissing her hair.

"Mmm, well I am gonna go to sleep," Rose said getting under the covers.

Jack climbed out of bed and turned off the lights. He then came around to Rose's side of the bed. Parting the curtain, he knelt down by her. He covered her up more with the comforter and kissed her nose. "I love you," he said stroking her hair.

"Mmm, I love you too," Rose whispered reaching over to hug him. Jack stood up and hugged her tight. Rose kissed him on the check and forehead.

Jack smiled and went around to his side of the bed. He undressed and climbed in next to Rose. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her shoulder. "Goodnight Rose."

"Night Jack," Rose mumbled before kissing his hand and taking it in her own. Jack smiled and kissed her hair one last time before falling asleep.
