I can't believe I'm on chapter 4.. Yes.. I didn't think I would of lasted this long!
Thank you to ninjalover13 and Mistress Beckett for the reviews, they mean a lot because it means people are reading them and going 'Ooooh… and aaaah' and maybe laughing? Who knows! Reviews are much appreciate! And I've decided to keep it to 3rd pov at the moment (again!) sorry!
IMPORTANT notice.. : I've uploaded my chapter 3 of the 'Nobody's perfect' story - Scabior/OC - funny thing is.. It won't let me edit the story and keeps going onto error message, I've emailed them (yes you) and see what happens so the chapter might not appear to Monday.. Maybe? But I'm letting you know I've done it and it just needs to be posted up.. :D
Anyhow.. Curtains up!
Chapter 4: Interviews, job and wigs..
Ian's finger pointed at Flik first and motioned her towards the jar bars so she can be taken to see Beckett.
"Why do you have to go first?" Jenna whined pouting at Flik, frowning.
"You can go first If you want to…but you will probably make up some story about flying monkeys and clowns.." Flik whispered to her and toddled over to the door opening looking directly at Scarface. "Good point.." Jen replied and wished Flik good luck before sitting back down joining Elizabeth in another game of 'eye spy'.
Flik got dragged along by Scarface towards the red brick building in the middle of the fort.
"Up the stairs.." Mercer opened the door and shoved Flik in, she nearly tripped over the rug on the floor as she looked up the ceiling, this place was massive! She thought gasping a little taking in the atmosphere of the room, it wasn't like the movie that's for sure, it was very different and smelt funny… like.. Coffee..
"Come on! We don't have all day miss!" Scarface grabbed her shackles and pulled her up the stairs unwillingly towards the door, he knocked first, 5 minutes later…
"Enter…"
'What am I going to say…' Flik thought once again as the door opened to a large… well.. More than large lavish room with posh furniture, she felt like she just stepped into castle museum or old stately house in the middle of the country but she was in the middle of the Caribbean and in the second pirate film.
Flik looked around and whistled, nodding.. "Lord Beckett.. The first of the girls.." Scarface pushed me forward and sat me on the chair aggressively. "Hey! Do you mind!" Flik looked up at Scarface with a annoyed look, then tutting.
"Shut up missy or I'll.." Scarface came closer..
"That's enough Mr Mercer, you may leave us.." Flik looked over to the window to see Beckett looking out over the town, hands placed behind his back.. His back towards them for a minute before turning with a smirk.. "Yes sir.." Ian gave her an evil before leaving and closing the door sharply behind him.
"So, who are you?"
"Getting down to the point then…" Flik replied without a care.. She hated 20 questions or interviews for that matter, it was by pure miracle she managed to get her job in her hometown. He smiled and came over, sitting behind his desk studying her intently… "My name Is Felicity Todd... I'm a maid, recently got fired from my previous employment and looking elsewhere… may I go now?" Flik huffed out looking back at Beckett.
"Where do you hail from..?"
"Earth..?"
"That is not a appropriate answer Miss Todd, lying is a great offence.." Cutler sat back in his chair, Flik stared at him this time, what did Jenna see in him.. Well he did have some kind of sex/mysterious/evil/staring appeal about him, don't get me wrong.. I like him but at the moment not so much Flik kept thinking..
"Well Miss Todd.." Beckett asked again the same question.
"England, in the South…I was at Tortuga visiting my uncle.." Flik lied through her teeth. "Your uncle.. What is his name? and is you're friend.. Your sister?" He was now asking questions about Jenna, she would be pleased now.
"Urm.." think Flik..THINK! "Mr Gibbs!… he's my uncle..and no she's my cousin…"
Flik forced a smile on to her face to try and please his majesty who was expressionless right now.. "I see, and you're cousin, will she also tell me the same story..?"
Crap… bugger.. Fuck.. Flik thought and looked to the floor for a second..
"Damn.." she muttered out loud and then shot her eyes up to Beckett raising his eyebrow..
"Yes" Flik replied.
5 minutes late, Flik arrived back at the jail to see Jenna doing a handstand against the window wall…
"Jenna…what are you doing?" Flik asked, Mercer pushed her into the cell hard.
"Just thinking…" "Whilst doing a handstand… Oooh…" Flik 'accidentally' tripped over thin air and landed on to Jenna hard onto the floor
"Clumsy! Get off!"
"Shut up and listen Jen-Jen, I told Cutler you're lover boy me and you are cousins, you're dad is Mr Gibbs.. We lived in England, both moved to Tortuga and If you want to stay here and keep you're eyes on mister sexy, tell him you're a maid looking for work.. And he might offer you a job…" Flik whispered into Jenna's ear very quietly as Scarface eyes where on both of them watching.
"I want him to offer me more than a job.."
"JENNA!" Flik hit Jenna and pushed her off towards to Mercer watching for her at the door. "Come on Lass…he wants you now.."
"Oooer.." Jenna giggled and left with Ian. Flik looked over to Elizabeth sitting there.
"You Okay Elizabeth?" she asked over to her, she nodded silently. "I wish to get out of here.. I want to find Will.." She told me truthfully..
"Hey.. Do you think you're father will help me get out of here.. I need to get to Tortuga.. To visit my uncle.." Flik asked hoping she can get out and find Norry and Jack..
"I'm not sure.." Elizabeth replied "But I'll ask him.." she smiled a little.
MEANWHILE
Jenna was forced to sit in the same seat that Flik was in 10 minutes ago.. Beckett was sitting at his desk still, now going through some papers on the desk.. Ticking them as he went, Jenna coughed to get his attention.. Scarface had already left the room a mere 4 minutes ago leaving both of them in silence.
"Lord Beckett…" Jenna smiled a little to get his attention even more, she was trying to have self control over herself, she was minutes away from jumping over the desk and jumping him…
"Yes.. You are the other girl.. Miss Todd's cousin, correct?" He asked looking up into Jenna's greenish eyes, he had a smirk on his lips.. He was trying to call my buff Jenna thought laughing, almost a giggle to herself.
"Indeed, I am.. My name is Jenna…Hollander…" She replied, thinking at the reaction of Flik's face when she said the second name..
"Hollander? And you're father is Mr Gibbs.. So why the different surname.."
"Long story.. My mother never really knew him, and I was brought up by her…" Jenna replied quickly staring at him.. God he was gorgeous.. Those lips made for kissing.. Eyes to stare at all day, and..
"You're a maid?" He asked snapping her out of her thoughts, aha plan time.. Jenna nodded in return "Yes.. I am.. But I am 'looking' for work, I mean.. I'm well quaufiled in cooking, sewing…" she told him.
Jenna had never sewed in her life and with cooking, she wasn't half bad, she could cook a decent meal for her and her mum back home and it was edible..
"I see.. What are you applying Miss Hollander?"
"I heard through the grapevine that you were looking for a cookery maid…and I wanted to apply for the position.." Jenna made something up rather quickly, hoping he was ACTUALLY looking for someone.
"Yes, the household is, but that requires someone who hasn't committed a criminal offence and landed in jail…" Cutler then got up and walked over to Jenna's chair, her knees started to tremble as he was standing so close… "Sir, this is my first time in jail and believe me, it will be my last, please.. Give me a chance."
And with that last statement, Jenna looked up to Cutler's eyes, her eyes giving him the puppy dog expression, her lips pouting slightly.. He blinked once and gulped, my god it was working she thought! The look worked!
"Okay Miss Hollander…you will report to the household at this address - tomorrow morning at 5am.."
"5 am?" Jenna exclaimed taken back by the time, as he quickly scribbled the address down. "Yes..you are now free.." Cutler held out his hand towards Jenna..she took it instantly trying to squeal.. She was holding Cutler's hand she hummed in her head smiling wide at their adjoined hands.
"May I visit my cousin before I leave.." Jenna asked as he led her towards the door and opening it. "One visit.." He warned her.
"Thank you… oh and one more thing.." Jenna came back quickly and all of the sudden, she lifted up Cutler Beckett's white wig to reveal his short brown hair, sticking up in random places."Oh that's why you wear it.." Jenna whispered and plonked it back on his head, he looked very shocked and confused at what just happened and watched the girl skip off back to the jail to find a way to free Flik…
Hahahahaha! You didn't see that one coming, and you probably wondering why Flik got sent back to jail? Well Cutler didn't like her sarcastic ness :P okay? And the wig thing..well I always wanted to see Tom's hair under it in the movie.. Anyhow.. Review me dears!
