If Rose Had Jumped.

The way love grows.

That night, the two of them laid underneath the stars together. Jack had an arm wrapped around Rose's waist and Rose had managed to pluck up the courage to place her head on his chest. She had thought that Jack would've been shocked or maybe even a little nervous...but no. Jack's plain simple reaction, was that he smiled and reached over, placing a hand over her red curls and stroked them.

The next few days went by pretty quickly. The two of them had turned a bad situation into a minefield of love...and that wasn't going to end soon. Every minute of the day, their love grew stronger, deeper....

"Jack," Rose had said one night on another one of their daily stargazing sessions.

"Yes, my dear?"

"Did you know..." she whispered, turning onto her side to look him in the eyes. "A woman's heart is as deep as the ocean..."

"No...no I didn't know that..." he whispered back, reaching over and placing a single red curl behind her ear, before scooting closer. "But now that I do..." he took her hand and looked deep into her eyes. They glistened as if he could see the whole world in them...in fact despite the short time that they had known eachother, Jack could say without a shadow of a doubt, that Rose was his world. "I'm really hoping that my love is enough to fill it..." he whispered, before leaning in and pressing ya another kiss onto her soft lips.

"I love you, Rose..." he rested his forehead against hers and cupped both of her hands in his. "You do know that, don't you?"

Rose looked down at their hands, a soft smile appearing on her face as Jack's warm breath hit her face, leaving butterflies in her lower stomach every time he breathed. She lifted her left hand and cupped his cheek, looking nowhere but into his moonlit eyes. He was beautiful...no...he was gorgeous and if any such thing as 'the perfect man' existed...then it was Jack.

"I know..." she whispered, then her eyelids fluttered shut and she leaned forward, pressing her lips against his, illuminating a special bond between the both of them...a bond that would last as long as they lived...
