Reunited
Chapter 2
"Wow, Jack you look different since we last met." She looked at him amazed at his appearance barely now just realizing it.
"I am different my hair is longer and I no longer draw anymore." He described himself to her.
"Why? You were so good at it." She touched his shoulder.
"Because they weren't worth crap, Rose." "My dreams of becoming an artist were for nothing." He had loved drawing. Always had.
"That's not true maybe you just need some inspiration again." She hugged him.
"Rose, you are my inspiration. Maybe what I needed was you." He held her loving the feeling of her in his arms.
"You have me, Jack. That's night in the car was the most precious moment of my life." She smiled with passionate eyes.
"You mean that." He looked at her lovingly.
"Yes, I mean it, Jack. When I thought I lost you it hurt me so bad." She held him tighter.
"I promise you will never lose me again." He touched her face.
"I hope that's a promise you can keep!" She smiled.
"For you, Rose. I will!" He took her in his arms and kissed her.
"Well it's getting late do you have somewhere to sleep?" He asked.
"Yea, but it's not a nice place." She said.
"Where?" He took her hand and started to walk.
"I have a little room of my own in the uptown part of town." She said looking at the beautiful moonlit sky.
"How do you have such luck to be there?" He asked wondering what she had to do to get a place in the uptown part of town.
"I work from place to place and gathered some money after I sold Cal's necklace." "But I have been trying to get it back from this man I sold it to because it reminded me of you." She leaned into him and he held her as they walked..
"You don't need it Rose." "You have me now." He said reassuring her that he would never leave her.
"I love you Jack." She said remembering when she had said it in the cold waters of the North Atlantic.
"Rose, I should have said this a long time ago." "I love you more than you will ever know". He stopped walking and looked into her eyes.
Rose started to cry. He held her it felt so good for her to be in his arms. She held him tighter.
"Come on it's getting cold out here." He rubbed her shoulders.
"All right." She said looking at him in the dark.
He walked with her to her place and when he saw a drunken man try to ask Rose for a date. He beat up the man and they ran as fast as they could.
Rose stood there out of breath and in shock that he had actually done that, but she was glad he had, who knows what could have happened.
"Thanks Jack." She said,
"No problem Rose." "You're not for sale you never have been." He kissed her so passionately she didn't want him to leave.
"Jack, I want you to stay with me tonight." She grabbed his hand taking him with her into her room.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yes, I want you to take me to the stars tonight." She smiled at him remembering the night in the car.
"Anything you want Rosie. Anything at all." They closed the door behind them. Inside you could hear laughing and kissing noises.
Rose was so happy she had found Jack. She would never regret what she did to live in New York alone. For once in her life she was happy and not sad.
