Chapter 4

I couldn't believe it. Cal had peed in his pants and his face flushed red as a ripe tomato. Jack's mouth dropped open, and I could tell he was shocked, too. The Unsinkable Molly Brown stood beside me, her loud, violet-scented perfume making my nose itch. I sneezed, trying to get a hold of myself as I approached Jack and Cal. Cal narrowed his dark eyes, leering at me from head to toe. "You little slut." His slurred voice echoed in the hallway, and I smelled alcohol on his breath.

I finally spoke. "Cal, you've been drinking again."

He cursed, drool dripping from his mouth. I turned away, repulsed. Cal sometimes drooled when he was stinking drunk. That's just another thing on my list that I hated about him. His dark, tousled hair hung loose on the top of his head and it appeared he'd borrowed a suit from another passenger. Cal now sported a smart-looking chocolate brown suit with a vest. Whomever Cal borrowed his clothing from would be mad when they saw that he'd peed in the loaned duds.

Cal pursed his lips, glaring at me. "Who cares if I have been drinking!" He gestured toward Jack, and I longed to go into Jack's muscular arms for a nice long hug. I needed Jack's support, but, I knew if I went to Jack, Cal would act even worse. "You and him...both of you better be careful."

Jack stormed toward Cal, but, I gripped his shoulder before he could reach him, pulling him aside. "No, Jack. Do not fight Cal. He's drunk."

"Rose, I know he's drunk." He looked away for a few seconds, his hands balled into tight fists. "But, I have to teach him a lesson. He needs to know that he can't hit you." Jack's voice softened and he took his finger and caressed my cheek. "He needs to know that he can't disrespect you like that." Jack's soft touch made my stomach feel as if it were exploding into a million little happy butterflies. I'd only known this man for a short time, but, each day, he amazed me and I was determined to make sure our future was happy.

Cal's slurred voice interrupted our conversation. "You two…" He shuffled toward us, reeking of urine and alcohol. "You two...better watch out. I'm gonna kill you both. You just wait and see." His voice boomed in the corridor before he shuffled out, using the wall to help him keep his balance.

Once he was gone, I shivered, scared. Jack pulled me into his arms and his mouth crushed against mine. The kiss deepened and my heart rate increased before Molly's sensible voice interrupted our kiss. "You two better watch your backs."

Jack glanced at Molly, frowning. "I told you not to go and get Rose but you did it anyway."

Molly stomped over to us, her eyes flashing with anger. "Good thing I did. No tellin' what you would've ended up doing to Cal if Rose hadn't stopped you."

I gazed into Jack's eyes and nodded. "She's right, Jack. We need to be careful. Cal's already tried to kill us once. If he wants us dead, he'll stop at nothing until he's succeeded."

Molly spoke. "What do you mean he's already tried to kill you?"

I told Molly that Cal tried to shoot us while the Titanic was sinking. Molly gasped. "Well, I'll be. You guys need some serious help. I'll be prayin' for both of you, but, in the meantime, I'll see what I can do to help you guys."
