To Be Forgiven?
"Oh my God! Oh my, Captain Sparrow, I'm so sorry. I…I didn't mean any of that and, oh my God, I tipped rum over you! Oh crap! And I insulted you! Oh my God, why don't I jump off a bridge? Someone shoot me." I said, covering my face with my hands. Captain Sparrow laughed, prising my hands from my face. I smiled, sheepishly.
"How about I forgive ye…if ye come and have some drinks with me an' me mate, William?" I looked at Jack, a grin slowly spreading across my lips.
"Really?" I asked. He nodded, totally unprepared for me as I squealed and threw my arms around his neck, quickly pulling back. There was an awkward silence as he led me to their table, pulling me out a seat. I muttered a 'thank you', sitting with my hands clasped in my lap.
"So, love, tell us about yerself." I frowned.
"Not much to know really. I'm Violet, that's 'bout it." I said, watching the younger man sip his drink.
"Never had much luck with the girl's that name themselves after colours, Violet, Scarlett…" I heard Jack mutter.
"I'm William Turner. Uh, call me Will." I nodded, smiling and shaking Will's hand.
"I'm Violet...as I already said." Jack reached out separating our hands.
"Wouldn't want ye getting attached to her, whelp. The whelp here jus' got married." He told me, patting Will on the back. Will smiled, sipping his drink again. Jack looked at me for a minute before reluctantly handing me his mug.
"Have me rum, love. Least I can offer such a pretty lass." He said, flashing a golden grin. I took the rum, sipping it before handing it back.
"Captain Sparrow, I'm hardly a 'pretty lass' as ye put it, therefore leaving me unable to accept yer offer of yer rum. Wouldn't want to get me drunk, would ye?" I laughed. Jack smirked, pulling back his rum and taking a swig.
"Call me Jack, love and ye can 'ardly say yer not pretty, lass. Look at ye, right little beauty, ye are." I raised my eyebrows.
"One I'd be proud to call me own." He finished suggestively. I glared at him, smiling after a second.
"Well, Cap-Jack, I shall never be any ones, so no one will ever be able to call me their own but I s'pose if I had to choose to belong to somebody…" I paused as Jack's face lit up.
"I would choose darling Will." I laughed. Jack frowned.
"Why not me, love? What's William got that I 'aven't, except of course for a wonderful singin' voice?" I frowned.
"Wonderful singin' voice?" I asked, looking from Will to Jack. Jack grinned, making a pair of scissors with his fingers.
"Eunuch." He whispered, pretending to chop. Will went cherry red, glaring at Jack. Then he turned to me.
"I'm not! I have a wife and…" Jack sighed.
"It's okay, mate, we won't tell no one, will we, Violet love?" He mocked. I put my hand to my heart.
"Not a soul." I laughed, smiling at Will. He smiled back, sipping his drink again.
"Ye sure do like yer rum, don't you, Will?" I said, watching him put down the mug. Jack snorted.
"It ain't rum, it's water." He said, elbowing Will, who glared at Jack again.
"Elizabeth don't like the whelp drinkin' rum. It's a 'pirate's drink' 'pparently." I laughed at Jack's mocking tone.
"Damn right it is." I said, calling over a woman.
"Three rums please." The woman practically ignored me, her eyes set on Jack and Will. I clicked my fingers, yet she still ignored me. Finally losing patience, I tapped the woman on the shoulder. She turned to me, scowling.
"What?" She snapped. I ignored this, however, pointing at Will.
"William has a wife." The woman looked at Will, who nodded. She turned back to me as I pointed at Jack.
"And he has a very nasty infestation of, uh, sideways walking friends." I said, shaking my head pitifully. The woman recoiled in horror, rushing away and leaving a laughing Will and a scowling Jack, both of them looking at me. I shook my head angrily.
"Bloody whores, don't they just annoy ye so much?" I asked. Jack huffed, folding his arms.
"Aye, like another bloody wench I know." I raised my eyebrows, turning to Will.
"Are ye gonna let him talk that way about yer wife?" I laughed, causing Jack to laugh and eventually Will to laugh. I only stopped when the same woman brought over three rums. She put them down, smiling at me before sending disdainful looks at Jack and Will and hurrying off again. Jack glared at me, angrily.
"Rum?" I offered. Jack took it, although still scowling at me. I saw Will elbow him, whispering something I couldn't hear. Jack suddenly smiled at me, swigging his rum.
"So, love, when's yer birthday?" I looked at Jack, quizzically, before answering.
"Fifteenth of August." I said, sipping my rum. Will looked at his rum, slowly lifting it to his lips. He took a small sip, almost choking. Jack frowned, taking the rum from his friend and gulping it back.
"Rum ain't yer friend, whelp. Now I think ye should leave me an' Miss Violet to have a chat. So off ye go, back to the ship." Will looked momentarily hurt but it subsided as Jack shot him a strange look. He nodded, standing up.
"Nice meeting you, Violet."
"And ye, Will. See ye again one day."
"One can only hope." Jack said, cutting Will off and shooing him away. I laughed.
"It appears my rum has gone." I said, tipping my mug upside down. Jack sighed, doing the same with his.
"Two rums, if ye would!" He shouted to a woman, who nodded.
"Jack, are ye tryin' to get me drunk?" I asked, playfully. Jack put a hand to his chest in mock offence as the two rums arrived.
"Who, me? Love, ye wound me." I laughed, grinning as the rum arrived. I raised my mug.
"To…to…uh…" Jack frowned at my dismal attempt at a toast. He raised his mug as well.
"To Captain Jack Sparrow!"
"And myself, Violet!" I added, both of us clinking our mugs together and knocking back the rum. I swayed in my seat slightly, slamming my mug down.
"Ah crap, I'm gonna end up drunk."
"Love, ye are drunk."
"I'm not drunk."
"Why are ye swaying then?" I paused. I wasn't drunk, I was just…tipsy.
"Because I…haven't been on a ship in so long I have decided to imitate the swaying of a ship." Jack laughed, slamming down his mug as well.
"Hey, Jack?"
"Aye, love?"
"What's Singapore like?"
