Reliving a Dream
"Jack, must you really, go?"
The pirate looked to his right at the young lady he held hands with as they trudged along the sand toward the docks under the darkening sky.
"Aye, love."
"But how can you be sure that what you heard at the pub was correct? What if you miss your chance again?"
Jack turned his head forward, concentrating on the docks once more. "I won't, love. Not this time."
"Jack, wait."
Jack stopped mid-stride at the tug at his hand. "Katrina, love," he began, "I really don't have the time."
The woman before him shook her head, tears in her dark eyes reflecting moonlight.
"Please, don't leave me again."
Jack sighed as he looked over Katrina, the curls of her black hair unfurling in the cool breeze. "I'll be back, darlin'," Jack said as he brought a hand to the side of her face. "Like always. I love ye too much t' leave ye behind. Ye know that all will be settled the moment I get back the Pearl ."
At hearing this Katrina dropped her head, the rugged man's hand still on her cheek.
"It won't be that much longer, Katrina," Jack said solemnly. "With the information those men said last night, all I need is t' pluck the very ship from Barbossa's hands. Then I'll be ready to confront your father one last time."
Katrina shook her head before looking back up at the pirate. "I don't see how you getting your ship back will make any difference to my father…"
Jack gave a small smile as he pressed his bandana-covered forehead to hers. "We will need a place t' live, aye?"
Katrina couldn't help at smiling back in anticipation of the thought. "Yes."
"It'll just be a couple o' weeks at most, darlin', like always," Jack said as he gave her a loving kiss.
Katrina eagerly kissed him back with just as much affection, her arms wrapping around his neck.
"There's nothing t' worry about, love," Jack whispered when they parted. He then slid the hand that was at her face down to the cleavage revealed in the opening of her nightgown and robe. "Like I told you when I first left you… I'll be back for this," Jack continued to whisper as his fingers played with the large black pearl pendant that hung from a silver chain about Katrina's neck. "I'll be back for you."
Katrina swallowed a sob as she looked at the man before her with determination. "And like I asked of you before… is that a promise, Jack Sparrow?"
Jack gave smirk, his dark brown eyes fixed on Katrina's as his hand then slid slowly down the front of her body and around to the side clasping her hip. "That's Captain Jack Sparrow. And o' course that's a promise, m'lady," Jack declared as he surprised her by suddenly pulling her up against him. "The only promise I'm ever willin' t' make and see to it that I succeed in it."
As Jack claimed Katrina's lips once more, the captain of the merchant boat at the dock nearest them began to shout orders in effort to set sail.
"I best be goin', love," Jack broke their kiss.
"Entonces vaya, corazon," Katrina whispered. "Voy a esperar antes te regresar."
Then go, love. I will wait until you return.
"Y voy a regresar pronto," Jack said with one last fleeting kiss on the lips. "Adios, mi amor."
And I will return soon. Good-bye, my love.
