My First Impressions of JackWhen I woke up I had no idea where I was, I was only aware of the throbbing pain in my head and the pains in the rest of my beaten body. I noticed the sound of the ocean and I could feel the gentle rocking movements of the waves. When realizing that I was in a warm bed I opened my eyes the dim light of dawn was beginning to show through a small porthole window, but the light from it was not enough for me to see exactly where I was. It was then that I became aware of the overpowering scent of rum and I quickly realized that it was so strong because I was snuggled up against the source of the that scent. As my eyes were not adjusted to the dimness yet, I reached out feeling for the person next to me. I could feel his dreadlocks then I moved my hands down his face. Yes it was he, the man who had saved me. I guess that's why I wasn't so scared because for some reason I felt safe with this man, until I moved my hands further down his body and found that he had no shirt on. I swiftly checked to make sure that my dress was still intact and in place and when I found that it was I let out a quiet sigh of relief.
I must have disturbed his slumber, for he grunted loudly and slipped his arms around my waist with one of his hands on my ass. OK this was a little too much. I pushed away from him with out much effect; my legs throbbed with every movement and let's face it for a drunken, sleeping man, he was strong!
He slowly awakened and he loosened his grip…. a little.
"Hello Luv," he said groggily.
"Hello yourself." I replied, trying to push away again.
"Oh don't ye want to snuggle anymore?"
"I guess I could handle the snuggling, but would you be so kind as to remove your hand from me ass!"
"Alright then," he said somewhat grumpily, "I have ta get up anyway, things to do and you and me need ta talk."
With that he sat up and since he still had his arm around me, I sat up too.
"If ye want we might have time to…." He didn't finish, but pulled me to him, putting his lips on mine.
I pushed him away from me and let out a cry of pain when his hand touched the bruises on my back.
"I ain't that bad looking am I?" He asked grinning and looked at me then at a mirror hanging on the wall.
I didn't answer him. The light from the window was growing brighter and I could now study my surroundings. It was actually quite a small room with just the bed, a table and two chairs and another smaller table piled with maps. On the walls there were more maps, the mirror, a few shelves and some hooks where his long, tattered coat, and his hat were hung. The word pirate came to my mind, but I wasn't worried. Pirates were very common in Tortuga. Plus he must not be that bad, he could have just let me drown; luckily he rescued me instead.
Meanwhile he had gotten up and was in the process of putting his shirt on. A small part of me really wished he would keep it off! I shook my head to chase that thought out of my mind.
"Who are you?" I asked remembering that I had no idea who this man was. I began to feel shame for lying in bed with this unknown man, like some whore. The farthest it went was snuggling though, I thought, well except for that kiss and he did save my life. Those made me feel a little better. I was so busy thinking that I jumped when he answered.
"Oh Luv," he said with astonishment, "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."
"Oh," I said trying to sound like I knew what he was talking about.
He stopped and stared at me, studying me.
"Luv, you really don't look good."
"Oh thanks." I replied even though the concern in his eyes touched me.
"Well yer all bruised and bloodied. I can get ye something to wash up with."
"Thank you." I said trying to stand. My legs buckled and I fell, but Jack caught me before I hit the floor.
"May I have this dance?" He said with his characteristic grin.
Then it seemed that time stood still with us just looking in to each other's eyes. After a while I began to feel self-conscious so I looked away with difficulty. My eyes caught our reflection in the mirror and I burst out laughing. The way he had caught me it seemed as though we had been dancing and he was dipping me. I then looked at my face. With a black eye, a fat lip, one of my cheeks was bruised, and I had a long cut on my forehead covered with dried blood. I looked positively horrid! It didn't matter anymore I just kept laughing and Jack was looking at me like I was crazy.
"What…. er…what're you laughing at?"
I pointed to the mirror. (We still looked like we were in mid dip) Jack chuckled and then he started laughing with me. His laugh was loud and deep almost music to my ears.
"I look absolutely awful." I gasped.
Then suddenly Jack stopped and stood up straight setting me on the bed.
"I'll…um, be back with something' ta clean you up. Then we can talk."
