Jack stood at the wheel of his wonderful Pearl. He smiled as Gibbs approached him. Even while Gibbs was at his side Jack stared out into the horizon. The sun was just raising and casting its glow of orange and purple over the ship. Gibbs tapped him lightly on the shoulder, The only indication Jack gave Gibbs that he was listening was a small nod of his head.
"Cap'n we'll be in Port Royal within a day." Jack nodded and Gibbs went back down the stairs. Anna caught Gibbs by the shoulder.
"Cap'n in to good of a mood. What's going through his skull?" She was obviously worried. Gibbs looked back at Jack and then back to Anna.
"We be real close to Port Royal." Gibbs said with a sly smile. Anna smiled as well.
":Does he have that Lass on his mind." Gibbs smiled and nodded.
"He must or he wouldn't be in such a fine mood. He acts as if no one can see it." Gibbs added and then walked away. Anna looked at her Captain and then sighed and muttered under her breath as she walked toward the stern of the ship.
"I hope ye know what yer doin Jack." Jack couldn't care about any ship that got in his way. He could see Port Royal out in the distance and that's right where he was headed. He knew who would be there and that's all that mattered to him.
Port Royal
Elizabeth sat in the chair patiently. I sat be hind my weasel and painted her exactly how I saw her in her wedding dress. She was so pretty I had always envied my best friend. Her beautiful long blonde hair and gorgeous eyes. She was so beautiful and what made it even better in my mind was that she was going to marry one of the most handsome guys in the Caribbean. Well, maybe the second most handsome, next to the Captain Jack Sparrow. Boy was he a looker. I knew though that I'd never have a chance with him. My brown hair was only shoulder length. My eyes were a dull pale shade of blue. It would just never be.
"Are you almost finished. I've been sitting here for almost 8 hours." I smiled and looked over the weasel.
"Yes I'm done. I have a few touch-ups to do but other than that it looks really good. " I stated semi-proud of my work. I'm really self-conscious about my art. She smiled and then stood to walk behind me. She looked over the painting and then at me.
"What touch-ups. It looks marvelous." Her smile grew wider. A sudden knock at the door made both of us jump. We laughed and I started to pack up. "Who is it?" Elizabeth called.
"It's me." The deep voice came through the door and I automatically knew it was Will. He is such a great guy. I'm so happy for Elizabeth. She ran over to the door and opened it. Will laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He kissed her and then smiled at me. "How are you today?" He asked politely I didn't look at him but I smiled and answered.
"Good." He smiled and then a pair of strong arms encased my waist and I felt a beard brush against my neck.
"Maybe I can make yer day a bit bett'r then good." The husky voice sounded like my Jack. It couldn't be him though. He wasn't due back for another week. I turned in his arms and my mouth fell open. It was him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. "I missed ye so much." He tried to state in-between my kisses. I smiled against his lips and let him pull me in for a hug. I had missed my pirate captain. I was so happy to see him. Elizabeth and Will stood at a distance watching the scene unfold. Will gently nudged Elizabeth out of the room and shut the door behind him.
"God I'm so glad you're back. When is the next time you leave?" I asked him sadly. He looked into my eyes and I could see the great sorrow within them.
"Tomorro' mornin' luv." I sighed and walked away from him and toward the window. I looked down bellow and saw all the flowers of the garden and remembered how it was the first place we had meet. I remembered how the roses smelt so sweet and all the lilacs on the trees. The bench in the middle of it all. The little lake with the fish. It was all so gorgeous.
