-i would wait for life
Cree did not recognize the love of his life
He looked down again
Her eyes watered, big tears came out rolling down her cheeks like pearls
The doctor came into the room on his everyday visit to check up on his patients. He found Ada's crying silently sitting on the rocking chair by the window.
-excuse me, Miss Ada Pandora?
Yes doctor, Ada replied
-I got notified Cree had an accident while fly testing he Firefly
Ada responded and looked at Cree hoping he would react to Ada's voice.
Cree's sitting at the edge of the bed, looking deep down into thoughts, at the side of the bed, like eating for something to happen. Ada sat besides him. Looking at him, softly said: hello love…. She moved her hand towards his chin to make his eyes look at hers, his eyes deep hazel colour, did not have the brightness it had every time they connected. Cree noticed a woman voice turned to look at Ada. His eyes didn't have the brightness it was characteristic for both to know how much in love they had for each other.
No more brightness in his eyes
No life in them at all
-hello darling,
softly murmured Ada
-love, here I am with you as always…
Cree seemed to have recognized that voice, for a moment looked at the source of the voice, but se onda after, looked away.
-love I'm here, as always
Cree did not show any response. Moved his body away from Ada's space, like he did not recognized her.
Ada felt broken, disappointed, left alone. She hold her tears trying not to make it noticeable to him and the doctor examining him, and stood up and walked towards the window facing the beautiful fall garden. Maple tree leaves started to fall moved by the swirling fall winds. A bit of drizzling started to hit the glass window. The sun for a moment got covered by clouds passing by that made the hospital room look darker.
-okay, said the doctor looking at Ada.
Cree seems to be in good health, but it seems the concussion he got during his fall off board during the accident caused on him to develop amnesia. He has lost memory, does not recognize many of the people nor remembers names. We will have to work his issue by interacting with people closest to him first, to bring up his confidence. Right now, he is in his own world
-was he alone when this accident happened? Maybe the people last worked with him will help Cree come back to his normal
-yes, the doctor said
Unfortunately that person couldn't be found, not even the body, the reports said last to be taken in for service. The only person signed in for servicing The Firefly was Benjamin Martin.
Ada seemed that name sounded familiar to her but not quite tell where. That bothered her. Ada always has a great memory, but this time, sane as for Cree did not help her. That really bothered her, to the point that she had to check on her log books the proofs of her study completions for her career studies.
Somehow that name rang a bell for her but couldn't put together the two.
Why?
Cree and the so called Benjamin did not know each other. Nor even met Ada.
Not that far back
Not lately
For the time being, the most important issue to solve was to have Cree's memory back. For Ada, her love for Cree was to tested. For live.
She felt deep in her heart Cree was missing him, the way she did.
She offered to help Cree on his rehabilitation and have his memory back. Even if took a complete life.
Her complete life.
Cree also was confused and submerged on his previous experiences with other naval ships he worked for.
The so called 'Ship of Dreams' aka The Titanic, was his first ship he worked for and contributed to the great experience he acquired to the great acknowledgement he has now. His license, recognized worldwide, he literally was an expert out of this world.
Ada slowly started to get his trust.
Cree started to show interest for her. He avidly waited for her every start of the end of the week, afternoons, where both could take walks out of his hospital room and take a walk through the garden to the garden pagoda where wines and wisteria plants showed proudly their splendid to visitors, bees and hummingbirds of the area.
Very relaxing and beautiful area where both really enjoyed together, and for Ada to work her charming to have Cree's memory back.
The doctor spoke to Ada about Crees situation when he got admitted in the hospital. During his delirious episode, he talked about being working on ship, according to his recollection; the ship was to be called 'The Ship of Dreams' sometimes called 'The Titanic' due to his splendorous beauty and size. Indestructible, nothing could even take down this beautiful beast.
For Cree was a dream come true.
The day the Titanic was launched, Ada almost lost her ticket, last minute call for all to be on board. What she didn't know, she was going to meet Cree during this amazing dangerous trip.
A starting point, England to New York, had fascinated Cree. Working for the White Star Line as an apprentice for his graduation, was a great idea for him to start a new job. And experience as well.
Ada on her part, a leisure trip her uncle gave her for her birthday, was a great way to relax and meet new people and places
The keel of Titanic was laid, ready to face new horizons, new fate, new loves, new hopes. New hopes.
New love
ELEVEN:
I know I love you still…
Ada found a place where to sit while the ship left Southampton. Stopping at France, Ireland, on its way to New York, took a way to New Foundland. Close to the boat deck, sitting at the launch chair reading a book and enjoying the soft warm breeze touching her face. The sun timidly showing up bright, accentuated her blue dress and her bright red lips.
Cree immediately was attracted by Ada's floral perfume she was wearing. Her well shaped body, he couldn't resist but to go and meet this mysterious woman, travelling by herself, alone?
Cree, aspiring to be a Hydraulic Engineer, given a great profile on his field, was given an opportunity to do summer job at the White Star Line. For him it was a dream come true.
To add to his current portfolio and already acquired previous experiences, getting to know this huge ship made him feel like a kid in a candy store.
-hello love, what a lovely lady, your smiles making my day brighter already
Hello, replied Ada
What brings you here? Just taking a peek around?
-just looking at the scenery, but found a gem far shining alone on this vast lonely space.
Do I know you? Replied Ada
-unfortunately not yet my lady. But now you do. Perhaps we should talk more bit to know each other….and have a eye blink as he lower his head to kiss Ada's hand. Her perfume was deliciously mingling with Cree's senses.
Would u mind if I join your for a bit longer? I don't wanna loose this beautiful looks…
Cree added, waiting for Ada's response
Ada smiled and continue looking at the scenery
-heard tonight's dinner at 8pm
Perhaps…
Will u join me?….
Would've be nice
Cree asked as he took Ada's hand and kissed it
-7pm, oh right?
Ada paused to think and smiled
Will see…. I can't guarantee….
Cree continued walking
Then he turned and said:
Will see later - 7pm this same spot
-and left walking towards along the deck
See you later then, love…..
That night they enjoyed a nice talk, about themselves, work. An opportunity to get to know each other. Cree got even more curious to know more of her. Ada had the same thoughts and feelings.
They both decided to have a walk along the deck to chat more. It was a beautiful peaceful night, only few stars bright like diamonds on the sky. And a full moon quietly looking down, waiting for the next move from a couple starting to feel more in love into each other.
There was a moment the ship seemed to have shaken the ship, they both felt it. Ada seemed to loose balance, so Cree hold her by the waist. That made her blushed. Cree looked at her, and kissed. She stepped back and looked at him. Ada raised her hand, like a slap coming soon to his face, but instead she kissed him back, holding her two hands to his face. It was a soft delicate kiss. Cree stopped and looked at her dark brown eyes and caress her head and hair. They kissed again, passionately.
That started a new chapter for both lives. Happy with what just happened, they continued their walk, back to their rooms. On the way back, they stopped by the bar to request a bottle of champagne and ice and a couple of glasses.
Cree convinced Ada to go to his room.
Once inside, they went to sit in the small additional room that served as a study room, with a small table and chairs.
Ada excused herself and went to the washroom. After, came out and sat at the table to drink the champagne.
Both thinking it was normal to hear those weird sounds they continued their business. A beautiful moment where both lost their innocence, Ada becoming s woman and Cree a man.
The noise of folding metal interrupted the continuation of their loving night.
Suspicious came out to the lobby.
The ship already was leaning slowly to the side. For better movement, Ada got rid of the fluffy stuff of her dress, keeping only the pant part of it.
Cree ga That voice shouting inside of my head
-i would wait for life ve her one of his 3/4 length coat to cover her.
They managed to get to the other part of the ship already sinking, slowly but steady.
They both bumped into Benjamin. They were to talk when the ship shook and sank faster. Benjamin lost his grip and fell down. Cree went to, but could hold to one side of the rail. He yelled at Ada to let go an swim to get out of harm.
So she did. Cree followed and swam.
A boat close by helped them to stay afloat.
They witness the last part of the bow of the Titanic sink.
Complete silence broke when one of the babies started to cry.
After a day sailing on rescue boats, on a foggy night, rescue ships showed up, picking up survivors. Once they got up to the main floor, they looked for Benjamin. No where to be found. Cree did not realized, was bleeding from one side of his forehead. When he was approached by the nurses to check up on him, he was already lost consciousness, the nurses rushed up to attend him. He totally passed out. Ada started to cry, frustrated and confused but contained her weeping.
The only thing she did was to follow where Cree was taken and accompany him.
The next day, Ada asked if Benjamin was rescued as well. No one recognized her description nor name. He was declared as a missing person.
Ada went back to Crees room. There was a lot of commotion.
Cree lost consciousness again the hit on his head caused a cardiac arrest. Went into deep unconsciousness due to the hit on his forehead. When waking up, had a strange look on his face. Did not recognize anyone in the room.
Had dilated pupils, not responding to any type of stimuli. Black out again. Fainted.
Peaceful quietness filled the room. Ada thought Cree was comatose.
Ada panicked and went to wake up Cree.
-Cree please wake up! Don't leave bme alone! Please love!
I❤️U!
Cree response was to look at her. Where the voice came from, but did not recognize her.
Ada's broken heart made her feel sick to her stomach. Hiding her sadness, contained her crying but deep inside her something started to grow on her, product of that moment of love. With all the commotion and hassle, she forgot the time that had passed since that night they became one.
She decided
