I turned to where he pointed and my heart flipped. I took a deep intake of breath. Her auburn hair that always looked like silk to touch cascaded down her back and over her shoulders in flowing waves, despite the evening's events. Her mint green dress flowed behind her though it was slightly dirty, and she had a blanket hanging loosely around her shoulders. Her hand lightly drifted down the rail. She might look like my mother's painting of the angel, but she did not belong to my mother, she was my angel. Tears streamed from my eyes. "I'm sorry miss, there's no Landon Carter here." My heart stopped and I felt like I had just die, I felt numb. I ran my hand mindlessly along the rail, the young man's word echoed in my head. I remember the first time I saw him, that was before I knew him. I'll always remember. it was late afternoon. It lasted forever but ended so soon. You where all by yourself, looking out at a darker sky. I was changed. In places no one will find all you feelings so deep inside, (Deep inside). It was there that I realized that forever was in your eyes the moment I saw you cry. And I wanted to hold you; I wanted to make it go away. And I wanted to know you; I wanted to be your everything.
I took a deep breath, and walked over to where she was. "You?" she whispered. 'I had pictured this moment. the one where I was finally reunited with Jamie a thousand times in my head. My fantasies always ended the same way, she flung herself into my arms and we passionately kissed. My fantasies never once had her looking up at me in complete and utter shock that I had actually survived the sinking of the 'unsinkable Titanic'.' "Me." he whispered. Jamie could not bring herself to believe her eyes; they were playing a cruel trick on her, but Landon was standing to her shock and utter happiness in front of her. She drank his features in thirstily, as if looking at him for the first time. He was good- looking and wildly dishevelled. His hair looked black against his cool skin. His eyelashes were dark on his cheek. Clean features that were strongly chiselled but almost delicate. His mouth at that moment looked rather innocent. He had never looked more beautiful to Jamie. Then she threw herself into his arms and they hugged each. 'That's more like my fantasy, Landon thought'. They could have been described to onlookers as two refugees from a 'disaster movie' but all Jamie and Landon felt was the singing ecstasy of their closeness. It held such wander, beauty, joy, love, thinking that it was the centre of everything for Jamie to be able to hold onto Landon, and such a wander to feel him holding her back. A harmony stole over them. They had found their partner, their equal, the one to work and live and love with. They were each other's soul mates! Jamie remembered a passage from Corinthians. It described her feelings for Landon. It was also the passage she'd wanted read at her wedding. "Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful." she whispered. ".Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes," Landon's sweet voice rang in Jamie's ears as he finished the passage. With a smile he thought 'Jamie is the truest essence of that very description'. "I love you Landon Carter", fresh tears of pure love sprang from her eyes, and Landon gently wiped them away with his thumb.
Their heads moved in one slow fluid motion, joining their lips. And then they were kissing each other, finding tenderness, comfort and love in each other. "I love you Jamie Sullivan," he said against her lips, before deepening the kiss and discovering the feeling of beauty and the mystery of her thoughts. Jamie inwardly sighed as ecstasy drifted over her. 'Why had she even pretended to herself that she could live without him? She couldn't; she Jamie Elizabeth Sullivan needed Landon Rollins Carter to survive what ever life threw at her. However she knew there were still problems ahead. Family and Society issues; "Promise me one thing Landon; you'll never break my heart. I couldn't stand it if you did. I could never truly be alive without you." Landon laughed and hugged her tighter, "I could never ever break your heart Jamie, even if I wanted to you, I'm addicted to you I need you to live. I love you Jamie Elizabeth Sullivan. you're my soul mate in every sense of the word!" He put two fingers to his mouth and gently kissed them much to Jamie's confusion, then pressed them lightly onto her lips. "I'll love you forever" he whispered softly before kissing her. "Forever", she agreed against his lips giving all of herself to him. With that they did not say another word; they were lost in each other's love. 'My heart will go on' echoes as the boat sped on through the now sparkling ocean and into the promise of America where they would start a new life together forever. THE END Got my Kleenex out, as I cry. Oh my God, I love it when sweet things happen to the sweetest people! Jamie and Landon 4 ever xxx Lonzy*
