I sighed impatiently as I waited for Jack to finish what he was doing. My eyes were closed and he was applying kohl around them, slowly might I add. "Jack Sparrow, would you please hurry?"
He chuckled as he pressed the black stick against my left eyelid, a creamy feeling left behind as he traced it. "Darling, I'm just trying to flatter your eyes. Most women would enjoy such things, aye?"
Rolling my eyes, which he couldn't see, I felt him proceed to my lower eyelid. "Aye, but need I remind you that I'm not most women?"
I opened my eyes, knowing he was finished. Seductively, he wrapped his arms around my waist and grinned devilishly. "No, Andie, you do not, for I must say when you allow me to bed ye, you sure are better than…" I cut him off by kissing him.
"Now now, Jack, I hardly think that is appropriate," I grinned at him, secretly not caring in the slightest.
"Pirate." I kissed him once more as one of his hands ensnared itself in my hair.
It had been four months since we'd proclaimed our love to each other, four months since I'd discovered that for the first time in my life, I was free. Jack had been there for me, showing the gentle side that most people assumed the pirate didn't have. We'd been sailing in open waters ever since, only stopping once to restock the Pearl with gunpowder, food, and of course rum.
Presently, we were heading towards a small port that was rumored by Jack to be a smaller version of Tortuga; with less drinking. I doubted that, considering Jack was rather excited about going there for some reason or another, which made me assume that he was lying.
"You alright, love?" I looked up at him, grinning.
"Aye. One can't help but wonder if the port you're wanting to go to has little drinking how can you be excited? Or perhaps there's another reason that's obviously foreign to me…"
Jack chuckled, twisting a lock of hair around his finger lazily. "Aye, there is another reason. I'm appalled that you think I'll practically die without rum, Andie darling." His facial expression was serious, but his eyes showed his teasing ways.
I rolled my eyes and pulled away from his hold to put on my boots. Sitting down on the bed, I spoke. "Mind telling me said reason?"
Jack grinned at me. "I'd love to, but seeing as it's a surprise, said surprise would be ruined if the reason was told, savvy?"
I rolled my eyes, groaning as I stood up to leave. "By the way, love, you won't have to wait long. We're docking as we speak."
I turned from the door to look through the window in the cabin. Sure enough, I hadn't seen the town before us and the crowding of ships. Not bothering to respond, I flew out of the cabin to wait for the pirate Captain to escort me into the town. After a few moments, we were ready to exit and we did so, my curiosity growing rapidly as we strolled around.
The town was small for sure, but it didn't matter to me; there were beautiful fabrics, books, and other various items adorning each vendor's booth and store. One booth seemed to be the target of Jack, his fingers clutching a pouch of gold coins that he'd taken from the harbormaster when the idiot hadn't been looking. The table held golden rings and other items of jewelry, which I stared at for a moment as Jack went to privately discuss something with the vendor. I didn't notice him handing over the pouch of coins until we were about to depart.
"The coins, where are they?"
He chuckled as he held me by the waist, leading me away. "Paid for something at that booth. Rush making and all that. And don't you dare ask me what it was for. Part of the surprise, darling."
I smiled, leaning into his hold as we walked. No doubt that when Jack Sparrow told you not to ask about something for yourself, you didn't do it.

Several hours later, we arrived once more at that booth before the sun set. We'd spent a pleasurable day together, shopping and eating. He'd been correct about little drinking, for there was only two or so taverns on the island. "Pirates fancy the handiwork of the items made and found here. That's why they don't stay long; just long enough to get something and leave to brag about it." He'd told me as we'd approached the jewelry booth once again. "Now hold on a moment."
I nodded, excited about what he was fetching. I tried to distract myself by staring into the distant ocean that was glittering orange and red, but my attempt failed. Thankfully, Jack didn't take all that long. "Andie, I have what we need, c'mon. I'll show you in the cabin, aye?"
Not waiting for a response, he swiftly led me to the cabin, not bothering to speak to any member of the crew. They seemed to be alright with the weirder movements of their captain. Then again, most of them had known Jack for countless years.
I watched as Jack bolted the door shut and turned around, leaning against it. He immediately swaggered over to me, pulling me close by wrapping his muscled arms around my waist as I pressed my hands against his chest, smiling sweetly at him. As we stood, he removed an arm to reach into his coat, withdrawing a small ivory pouch. Curiosity pulled at me as I undid the strings and I withdrew a small golden ring.
It had a single black pearl in the center with a swirling base securing it onto the ring. Diamonds were along the part of the ring that would be on the inside of my hand, making it shine brightly. "For a rush order, not to shabby, eh?"
I gasped, realization coming upon me. "No, not at all… Jack, what…?"
He grinned and took the golden item from my hold, placing it at the top of my 'ring finger' of my left hand. "Marry me, darling." He kissed my jaw, repeating himself as he made his way down my neck, my mind spinning. He pulled back when he reached the base, staring at me, wanting to know if he should continue and if it was worth waiting for my reaction.
Not thinking twice, or at all for that manner, I nodded, kissing him as I felt him slide the ring fully on, my hand grasping his as he proceeded to push me to the bed, giving me a rather enjoyable glimpse of our future.
