Endless Love...

Chapter 14
"The May Festival"
Terry stayed with Candy in the meditation room. They ate together and talked for hours without getting tired. Terry of course had to hide every time a nun came to look after Candy.
- Terry, you're not going to sleep in your bedroom?
- I want to stay here with you...even if I think you don't deserve the punishment
- I called the reverend mother an old hag...
- You told the truth, she is an old hag...
- All truth is not good to be told, said Candy smiling
- I'm not going to have fun if you're not there
- That's a real nice thing to say
- It's the truth
- You want to share my bed?
- It doesn't seem to bother you a lot... I can sleep on the floor
- When you have a nice a fluffy bed in your room
- I'd rather have the company of a beautiful girl
- You think I'm beautiful? She said blushing
Terry smiled.
- I'm used to sharing a little bed. I slept in Jack's arms on the Titanic...
- In Jack's arms?
- Yes, the cabins of 3rd class were small for a lot of people, we had to squeeze
Terry didn't say a thing.
- There was a lot of people in those cabins then...?
He wanted to know how far she went with Jack. Candy understood he misinterpreted her relationship with Jack.
- Terry..., Jack and I, we were not in love... at least not romantically
- What do you mean?
- We were in love like brother and sister
- In love like brother and sister?
- Yes, he was protecting me like a little sister and he was a big brother to me...
- Oh... so why did you let me believe he was your boyfriend?
- Damien Leighton was jealous of Jack, he even asked that not set feet in their property, but he still came to see me in hiding, and he didn't trust Damien....so the day everybody was out, except for me, because my young master wanted me to stay...Jack came to look for me and he found me fighting to escape Damien...
- That's why you ran away with him...
- And I said he was my brother... and he was my brother, he never tried... I slept in his arms, because we couldn't afford to pay for more than one room... I curse that Titanic every single day!
- So there was only Anthony....
"And you" She said in her head
Terry was looking at her and he saw that she had something to say.
- Candy, there was only Anthony, right?
- Well...
- Candy... I want to know...
- There was someone on the Titanic...
Terry felt his heart getting tight.
- Who?
