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

44: A Party

I went back to the suite without actually looking up. I am surprised that I found my way back but at the same time I was proud of myself for learning the ship so quickly. I walked into the suite and shut the door to a frightful scene.

"Sir, this is a ship and there is only so many places that Miss Morgan can be. We will find her," the Masters-in-Arms stated.

"I realise that Mr. Bailey but that doesn't mean that I will be any less worried about my fiancée!" Scott yelled.

"Mr. Sire, we are in understanding that she has to be aboard the ship so I need you to calm down," Mr. Bailey said. Robert looked over at me and sighed.

"Miss Morgan, we were worried about you," Robert said as he crossed the room to me. Scott looked over at me and I could see the relief on his face as he walked closer to me. He hugged me, pulling my head to his chest, and put his face in my hair.

"Thank the Lord that you are fine. I was so worried about you when I couldn't find you," Scott said as he kissed the top of my head. I put my hands on his stomach.

"Miss Morgan, did anyone or anything keep you from returning to the suite?" Mr. Bailey asked. I leaned away from Scott and looked at Mr. Bailey.

"No, Mr. Bailey. I just wanted to enjoy some time in the air. I am fine," I stated. Scott pulled me back to him.

"Then, I shall take my leave. Please, don't hesitate to call me if you need anything from me again, Mr. Sire," Mr. Bailey stated as he left the suite.

"Let's get you by the fire. You are freezing," Scott said. Robert and Emma moved the lovechair to in front of the fire as Scott walked with me slowly and I looked at the fire that was licking the top of the fireplace.

"I want to go to the third class," I stated and Scott looked at me. He looked at Emma and Robert who dropped their heads.

"Are you sure?" he asked. I nodded as I moved away from Scott and to the door. He followed and we headed straight to the stairs.

It was fairly easy to find Andrew and Eliza due to the fact that William and Catherine were dancing and screaming in the middle of the party. Scott and I instantly had beers in our hands and Scott was arm wresling with other men at the party.

"Excuse me, miss, but are you an English speaker?" a boy asked. I say boy but he was no younger than me based on his looks.

"I am," I stated. He smiled.

"You seem about my age and I wanted to know if the miss would like to dance with me?" he asked. I laughed and looked at Scott who nodded.

"Most certainly," I said. "I'm Mae Morgan."

"Alfred Rush, it is a pleasure to meet you Mae," he said as he held my waist. We started dancing, which was more like jumping in time as you moved around the room with other couples, and I couldn't contain my laughter. 

"Oh boy, I need a drink," I said after about a half hour. Alfred laughed and we walked to the table that he got me from where Eliza, Andrew, and Scott were sitting. I took a beer but when Alfred went to take it Eliza made a sound.

"I don't think that little boys are suppose to be having beer," Eliza said.

"I'll be 17 on the 14th, Mrs Johnston! A beer won't hurt," Alfred said. I laughed.

"What is so funny?" Eliza asked as I took a sip of the beer.

"My birthday is on the 15th," I stated. Alfred laughed and Scott shook his head, suddenly keeping a close eye on Alfred.

"At least we will be on the Titanic for our birthdays," Alfred said.

"Indeed, you two will be and I am throwing Mae a party on the 15th as her fiancé," Scott said. I bit my lip, knowing he was displaying dominance and it was kind of cute to see that he was so protective of me. Then again he did call the Master-in-Arms just because he couldn't find me for an hour.

"Congratulations on your engagement," Alfred stated and I smiled as I looked at Scott.

"He is the love of my life and I am so thankful that he came into my life," I said and Scott smiled at me with slight blush on his cheeks, making me chuckle at his embarrassment.

"Well the love of your life ain't dancing with you so I be thinkin' that he ain't that in love with you," Alfred said, which caused Scott to pull me up and pull me to his body.

"I will be dancin' with my fiancée, thank you very much," Scott said and pulled me out to the dance floor.

"You are a crazy man, you know that?" I asked as we spun around with the other couples in the small room.

"And you know I was deathly afraid that something had happened to you while we were separated? I thought you slipped off the railing and into the water," he told me. I looked into his eyes and he touched my cheek.

"I am not clueless," I told him and he pulled me as close as he could to his body.

"I was scared," he whispered as the music picked up making our feet move faster. I smiled at him.

"There is never a reason to be scared for me. I am strong enough to hold out on my own," I told him. He smiled and I laughed as he went faster.
