My Story: R.M.S Titanic [Completed]

42: Dancing

"Please?" Scott asked as we walked into our suite. He wanted to go swimming with me again and I was telling him no.

"Why do you want to go swimming with me? I told you that you can go by yourself," I stated. He held both of my arms and I looked up at him.

"Because I want to spend more time with you and get to know you more than I already know you," he stated. I smiled and shook my head as I walked around him.

"Scott, swimming when there is so much more to do on this ship is something that people will see as wasting our time," I told him. He scoffed and I looked at him.

"We aren't like them, are we?" he asked. I smiled and looked at Emma.

"Emma, fetch my bathing suit," I stated and Scott kissed my forehead.

I stood in the water at the swimming pool which that in itself hurt my legs, even though most of the skin had returned to my legs from my fall. Scott stood in front of me as he coxed me out further into the water.

"I know that you can swim now and I want you to swim," he said. I stood on my stocking covered toes as he pulled me a little closer to the deepest part of the pool.

"Scott, I want to get out and change back into my dress and walk around," I whispered. He sighed and nodded.

"Okay. I'll follow you," he said. I swam to the stairs and I heard Scott start laughing. I looked over to him and he still in the same spot.

"What is so funny?" I asked. He swam over to me and I raised my eyebrow as he kissed me lightly.

"You swam, by yourself," he said. I smiled and jumped up and down in the water.

"I swam!" I exclaimed and spun around only to have Scott catch me in his arms. I looked at him and he laughed as I fixed my headband.

"Do you still want to walk around?" he asked. I splashed water at him and he laughed at my antics of getting water on him.

"You don't understand, do you, Scotty?" I asked as I crossed my legs and he picked me up, bridal style.

"What don't I understand, darling?" he asked as I wrapped my arms around his neck and dropped my feet.

"I want to go dancing," I whispered and he smiled.

"Well, when you put it that way, I think I know the perfect place," he said and I smiled.

Scott led me the way to the first class reception room where the orchestra was playing and basically everyone was talking. Scott already warmed me that we would be the only couple dancing but I didn't care. He left me at the bottom of the stairs of the grand staircase as he walked to the orchestra. I requested that he put in we wanted a 'Song Without Words' to be played. The music started and Scott offered me his hand.

"Miss Morgan, may I have this dance?" he asked and I took his hand as I walked down the rest of the stairs. He pulled me close to him and we stayed in a small box as people made a circle.

"Everyone is watching us," I whispered as we went in a circle. He smiled as he held my waist a little tighter.

"The Astors have just joined us," he whispered and I smiled at him. I looked over to see Maddie and JJ dancing and another couple, the Strauses. Isidor Straus nodded at me and I stood straighter as Scott turned once more.

"We have started a dancing rebellion," Scott whispered with a laugh as more couples joined us. There were even children that were asking other children to dance. I smiled and watched Scott's facial expressions as the orchestra changed the song to 'Sphinx' which only continued the dancing. I looked over at the orchestra who was smiling and playing their music louder so we were all wrapped in the music.

"Thank you for taking me dancing today," I said as we moved with the music. He kissed my forehead and I smiled as he started humming the song.

"I will always take you dancing if you ask me to," he stated and continued to hum in my ear with the music that was so willing to take me and spin me around. I was happy to be there in Scott's arms as we were just one of the couples that were dancing in the reception room.

"Scott, I must say that this was a beautiful idea," JJ said as they came by us. Scott smiled and nodded as I leaned on his shoulder.

"Mae wanted to dance, so dance she will," Scott said as he continued to sway with the song. I smiled at Maddie who nodded back and I closed my eyes as they moved away.

"Please play 'Orpheus'!" someone asked the orchestra and everyone got into a straighter position and held on to their partners because we all knew that we would be moving a little faster.

"Ready?" Scott asked me as the orchestra stopped the song that they were playing and I nodded as the song started and we all started moving quickly and yet lightly on our feet.

I have to say, that was probably the best moment on the Titanic. Dancing with Scott in front of everyone else and making everyone else dance.
