As she lounged in the shade of the big oak tree her thoughts once again drifted to a common day dream.
she was wearing a white dress the skirt blew freely around her ankles in the wind She stared into the eyes of her lover all she knew were his eyes deep and dark..inviting.
She longed for a man.
A man of adventure and suspense.
Unlike her many suitors.
Tom Greenwood, Henry Masterson, George Stuart.
The list went on and on.
Isabelle was a ripe age of 19.
She had deep emerald green eyes, that changed shades with her mood.
She had a small path of freckles across her nose and perfect pink lips.
Her slightly upturned nose added to her spunky youthful look.
Her long chestnut curls that she refused to put up grazed her waist.
When Isabelle opened her eyes she was dissapointed to no end that her day dream wasnt going to come true this time.
She sat up and straightened her painfully thick skirts.
"Bloody pointless" she said in reference to the many layers she wore.
She stood and decided that she would visit the docks, maybe her long lost love would be waiting there for her.
"Dream on Belle" she said under her breath.
As she walked she failed to notice a pair of eyes watching her.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
She was so beautiful.
Jack watched from his place in an alley as Isabelle walked by.
The sway of her hips was so innocent yet tempting.
Her curls bounced behind her, unlike the many women that had their hair tied up tightly in a bun.
She turned slightly and he caught sight of her lips, like two perfect pink rose petals.
He watched her stop at the docks.
He saw her look around and something made him wish desperatley he had a woman like her to wait for him when he came back from sailing.
Maybe he could change that.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
Isabelle turned sharply when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She found herself face to face with a pirate...
She looked around curiously then met eyes with him again.
"Hello" she offered with a slight smile.
Jack was expecting a "Leave me be pirate!" or at least for her to shy away.
"Hello m'lady"
She smiled her eyes lighting up "Im Isabelle Corrington whats your name?"
"Captain Jack Sparrow luv." Jack answered waiting for the shocked expression that was common whe his name was mentioned.
But much to his dissapointment she just smiled.
"Nice to meet you Captain Sparrow"
"Havent you heard of me luv?" he asked with a slight frown.
"Yes." she said simply Jack was at a loss for words.
"Well Captain Sparrow, It was wonderful to meet you but I should be going now." Isabelle started walking away.
Jack stood dumbfounded for a few moments trying to place that look.
Her demeanor was so calm..but he recognized a fire in her eyes.
"Wait!" he took off running after her.
He slowed when he was at her side.
"Yes?" she asked puzzled "Who were you waiting for luv"
"No one really" she said slightly annoyed that he was being so nosy.
"Oh. well in that case where might ye be goin' in such a hurry?"
"I was just off to work"
Jack stopped a moment and puzzled over the fact that she worked, the only women that he knew with jobs were....
When he snapped out of his trance she was gone.
"Maybe next time Sparrow" she whispered in his ear.
He turned sharply just in time to see her run into the busy doors of a pub.
"Hey Belle!" her friend and employer Marie yelled watching her skip into the changing rooms.
"Hey Marie!" she said as she shut the door.
Isabelle examined the array of dresses that were put out for her to choose from.
She reached into the front of her dress and pulled out some sheet music.
She
looked over the music then back to the dresses, she started humming the
song while running her hands softly over her selections.
She reached out and pulled a thin two piece dark green dress down.
She quickly slipped it on.
As she did up the laces in the back she examined herself.
It was strapless with a heart shaped top to eccentuate her breasts.
The thin skirt was low showing her midriff and the bottom stopped at the top of her calves and was cut up to her hip in the front.
Luckily the tight under skirt prevented anything unnecesary from being seen.
She slid into some black fish net tights and outlined her eyes quickly in kohl then ruffled her hair a bit.
She opened the door and quickly walked behind the counter unseen.
Jack walked into the pub after her but didnt see her.
He decided to stay and see what this girl actually DID for work.
He could hear a few sailors talking behind him.
"Whose performin' tonite?" one asked
"I imagine its the Belle"
"Oh.."
Jack thought for a moment but when a young woman in a red dress stepped onto a small stage beside the counter his attentions went to her.
"Gentelmen!" she yelled.
"We
would all respect your cooperation with us, for our performer to be
heard we need you to keep your voices down a bit..thank you! NOW.." she
began with a smile
"Please welcome..The Belle!"
The audience erupted in cheers and Jack watched as a girl in a dark green dress slowly walked up onto the stage.
When she got to her position and lifted her head Jack immediately recognized her.
He moved to a table in the front.
She signaled for the girl in red to begin playing the piano beside her.
The music started and Isabelle let a small smile creep onto her lips.
She opened her mouth and her voice came out like velvet....
"There's a place in my heart That I go when I dream A place that nobody can see Every night I see love I see someone who's waiting Waiting for someone like me He must be out there Somewhere, someone for me....."
Isabelle slowly stepped down from the stage and started walking through the chairs of people who were watching her intently.
She saw Jack but tried not to let it show.
"Tell me how long
'Till I'm not just dreaming
How long, 'til somebody cares
How long, 'til I meet an angel
And give him my heart,
When can I start
How long 'till I fall in love...."
She was walking right for him, but her eyes never met his A lump quickly formed in his throat as she looked him over from head to toe.
"I sit every night By my window just wishing And searching for one perfect star Can anyone hear me Dunno if you're listening Please send him right here To my arms He must be out there Somewhere, waiting for me
Tell me just how long, will it be..."
She finally stopped in front of him.
She draped a leg slowly over his lap and slid onto his legs facing him.
Her eyes were burned in his image forever thanks to that night.
The look of those magnificent green eyes, staring just as intently into his dark brown ones.
She leaned into his ear and sang the next verse with her breath tickling down his neck.
"Tell me how long
'Till I'm not just dreaming
How long, 'til somebody cares
How long, 'til I meet an angel
And give him my heart,
When can I start
How long 'till I fall in love"
He gulped wanting her to just touch him more than anything.
He wished her hands would meet his skin before he went crazy.
"I've always believed That my dreams would come true That one of these nights He would appear He'd be here in my arms I see it all, so clearly How it could be I wish he was kissing me now..."
As if she read his mind her hands rolled slowly over his chest..downward They stopped at the very top of his thighs His mind was spinning when her eyes came back to look in his again.
"Tell me how long 'Till I'm not just dreaming How long, 'til somebody cares How long, 'til I meet my angel And give him my heart When can I start How long 'till I fall in love ...."
She stood up from his lap hoping to extinguish the emotions that were suddenly flooding her body so she could just finish the song.
How long 'till I fall in love.
How long 'till I fall in love.
How long 'till I fall in love..."
They all applauded
Her eyes were still glued to his
Even after everyone went back to their drinks and whores they remained in that position.
Jack stood up and smiled slightly.
"Isabelle right?" he asked trying to sound welcoming.
She nodded warily.
Luckily Marie swooped over and whispered something in isabelles ear, then pointed to a table.
Jack saw Isabelle's eyes darken considerably.
She nodded and Marie disappeared.
She looked back to Jack looking crestfallen.
"Whats the trouble luv?" he asked hating the look that covered her face.
"Nothing...I just promised Marie I would do a little extra work on the side...if i didnt earn enough singing...and the tips werent so great...." she said looking down, her mischevious side had all but disappeared when the good hearted side of Jack spoke up.
"What if I pay the difference?"
Her head flew up "Y-you would do that?" she asked incrediously
'apparently' his inner voice said, very irritated that he had acted so kindly to a woman he barely knew.
To be honest he was thrilled when he found out she wasnt a whore.
Whores were easy...true
but there was no fun with whores.....just sex, and usually not cheap.
He looked back to her deeply innocent eyes and wondered how he could actually say no to her.
"Yes luv, I would, I hate to see you doing that sort of thing."
He watched as the light slowly came back to her eyes and her cheekbones fluttered with freckles lifted in a smile.
She jumped on him and wrapped her arms around his neck in a huge hug.
"Thank you Captain Sparrow" She pulled back
"But I really should do something for you"
"How 'bout a walk luv.?" He suggested.
"Ok! let me go change!" she hurried into her changing room and came back out moments later in a white dress that was very old and worn.
The bottom and the sleeves had been hacked off.
It was strapless with a bow thread through the top to hold it up.
It was tighter until it hit her waist where it spread into the knee length skirt.
He loved her unconventional clothes.
she skipped toward him in her small white flatts that softly padded on the floor.
He held his arm out and she graciously slipped hers through his.
He smiled and lead her outside.
As they walked Jack attempted conversation to deafen the hornyness that was his mind.
"So, Isabelle..How long have you been singing"
"gawd she smells like heaven...if her arm touches mine again ill lose it"
"My whole life I suppose"
"He is the sexiest pirate ive ever seen! How is he not thinking about sex right now?..."
"Interesting...you have a lovely voice"
"Stop thinking about sex! you hear me down there!? stop it!!"
"Thank y-...Whats that sound"
:o: BAAAMMM :o:
Jack pushed Isabelle into an alleyway and covered her small body with his while a building near them fell.
"Cannonfire..." he said under his breath.
"Mell Fats Gmate" Isabelle mumbled.
Jack looked down She had her face buried in his chest and her hands were grabbing his shirt tightly.
"What luv"
She lifted her head
"I said well thats great"
"Oh...yea.." by now people were rushing by and the sound of swords clashing and screams was very evident.
Jack looked back to Isabelle and saw her watching the scene from the small alley with utmost horror.
Something was scaring the life out of her, he could feel her shake against him.
He started stroking her hair to calm her down.
When he felt she was calm enough he decided to voice his plan.
"Isabelle"
She looked up at him
"Can you fight"
She shook her head and started to shake again.
"
Ok luv calm down, im going to help us both out of this mess"
Jack quickly took his jacket and shirt off then handed Isabelle his shirt.
"Uh oh sexy pirate lost his shirt...Shut up Belle your about to die'
He reached out and grabbed a man in a bright red coat .
He pulled the coat off and threw the man back.
When he looked back to Isabelle she was so scared she was practically ripping Jacks shirt in two.
Jack put the jacket on .
"You have a ribbon perhaps luv"
She nodded and pulled a spare ribbon from the bottom of her dress.
Jack tied his hair together and put it up under his hat.
He then took the shirt from Isabelle and wadded it up in a ball.
"Put it up yer dress." she looked at him oddly.
"Er..ye know..." He gestured to his stomach "Oh.." she said then took the shirt and did as he said.
"Ok, now were gonna go out there, but dont worry, see chances are, they raided this port because they want some women..or Ive done something and their after me..., Now, they wouldnt take a pregnant woman.. and at a distance no one would recognize me"
She just nodded and looked out anxiously.
"Come on Belle, lets go." Jack grabbed her arm and lead her out into the streets.
She was releived that the docks were so close.
Jack tugged on her arm and she followed hastily behind him.
They walked with Jack resting his hand on the small of Isabelles back to urge her on.
When her foot touched wood she looked up and saw a big black ship in the distance.
Jack grabbed her wrist and helped her into the one small rowboat that was still intact.
As he started rowing Jack looked at Isabelles face for the first time since they left the alley.
Her eyes were dark and troubled and they remained focused on the small town of Port Hinsley.
He looked back to what she was watching and saw with a small explosion the bar that she sang in burst in flames.
He looked back to Isabelle and saw her face down and her hands wringing nervously over her false stomach.
After rowing a few more yards Jack took his hair out of his hat and moved over to Isabelle.
She looked up and smiled.
"Thank you"
He smiled back sympatheticaly
"Im sorry Belle..."
"Damn Sparrow why are you so insensitive!?"
"Its ok..Im fine" She said looking gazing deeply into his eyes.
"I cant beleive he actually cares...."
He nodded not knowing what else to say and continued rowing.
When they finally reached the ship Isabelle had stretched out in the small boat asleep.
Jack didnt want to wake her so he picked her up gently and climbed the rope ladder to the deck.
The crew was busy bustling around the ship getting ready to make their way out of the port so Jack quickly layed Isabelle on his bed in his cabin then returned to the helm to get his precious Pearl to safety
