A/N- Pirates is out! OMG! I LOVE IT SOO MUCH!!!! SOOO MUCH!
This story will eventually be split into two parts. The part that is movie accurate and the part that I thought up and isn't accurate, so this way hopefully I won't get any people bitching about the un-movieness of this.
Chapter 4- Where are we?
When Colleen woke up she was still wrapped in strong arms, she sighed and tried to burrow her head into Will's strong chest. She had never felt so safe, so secure; she had never felt this flutter in her chest that could only be love.
He kissed the top of her head, "Good morning, dove."
She smiled back, "Good morning Will."
Colleen stretched her arms over her head and yawned slightly before asking, "Have I died? Am I in heaven?"
"You're in London's Dock Regions, that means closer to hell."
"Your funny, are you always so in the morning?"
"This late in the morning? Usually."
"Late?" Colleen looked at the clock in the room with a puzzled expression, "It's nine o'clock."
"I was up at five." He rubbed her arm absently, "I'm a sailor remember? Up with the sun."
She burrowed her head into his chest, "How could I forget?"
He smiled at her, God she was adorable, "I took the liberty of getting breakfast; I was watching you sleep when I realized that you were skin and bones and I felt the need to remedy that."
"Most men think I look just fine."
"Most men will no longer be allowed to think so without my permission." Will quipped.
Colleen sat up in bed and looked at him teasingly, "And who is allowed, may I ask?"
"My first mate, Jack Sparrow, he's a boy I took into the trade. He's a good mate to me, I trust him. After him? God."
"Anyone else?" She looked at Will questioningly.
"Maybe Satan depends on my mood."
Colleen laughed as Will flashed her a devilish smile, "Alright then."
Will picked her up in his arms like he had the night before and carried her down into the kitchen, asking her as he crept down the stairs, "Out of curiosity what place is this? This isn't the home I walked you to that first night we met."
"This is my childhood home. We moved to that other one after my mum and sister died, Da wanted to avoid the memories but I still come here. I like my memories just fine."
Will nodded, accepting this and showed her to her breakfast feast. There were a lot of rolls and pastries and she wondered how he could afford it but upon asking she only received, "I had good business recently." As her answer.
"You're a merchant right?" She asked as she nibbled on a danish.
"That's right." Will didn't meet her eyes when he responded, pretending to be busy with the jam on his roll.
"Where were you that business was so good?" Colleen picked up a cup of milk and took a sip, "I mean, I know a lot of folk around here who have been having problems. They might benefit from knowing the location of good deals."
Will wanted to help people, it was one trait that Barbossa, a lower ranked pirate on board, didn't agree with, and Will wanted to help the poor starving kids and their families. He thought he owed it to them to not put more boys like him on the street so in hearing that so many merchants were having troubles his heart went out to them; but he couldn't very well give a place that he knew to have bad business. He didn't want to lie to Colleen, he truly didn't but he found that he had to.
"If I told you, I'd have to kill you, Colleen." He joked, "If I told you my ship's secret location then it wouldn't be very profitable to me anymore; now I'm not being selfish mind, other ships know about it, but I'm just saying if you wish to be kept in the lap of luxury, you wouldn't want my business to run dry."
He smiled so sweetly at the end that she couldn't help but smile, he was teasing her and she liked it. In comparison to her, he was grown up but right now he was acting like a younger man then he was. It was nice to see someone take a fall from their usual age once in a while; a quality she was proud to possess, one her father despised these days.
"Speaking of your ship," Colleen paused to take another sip of her drink, "won't they be missing you? You were gone all night, most of the morning..."
Will smirked as he got a very probable mental picture of what had happened when he hadn't come back. Jack had probably brought some whores from town up to the ship with a few bottles of rum (a drink the younger man was fond of) and he and the crew threw a party of sorts, a celebration that the captain wasn't there to put an end to. Not like he would, normally he would join right it.
He realized that he'd been wallowing in his thoughts for a time and finally responded to Colleen who looked at him patiently, waiting for her answer, "They probably had a very fun night without me."
"They wouldn't have fun with you? What, are you a cruel vicious captain?" Her smile was so adorable, Will was just starring at her for a moment before answering, "Not really but when the cat's away the mice will play. Its just their nature, I'm not there to tell them to shut up and get some sleep so they'll make a bunch of noise and drink all night."
Will focused his eyes on Colleen as she finished her first pastry and eyed a second, "How do you know Jack?"
"The little Sparrow boy? He's been hanging around here for a while, on and off. Very popular with a lot of my friends."
"Not you though?" He asked a bit sharply, but he suddenly had a great urge to know if Jack had been dipping his fingers in Will's new honey pot.
"No, not that he didn't try though. He's cute and all, very funny, but he's not my type."
Will sighed, very relieved at hearing this, "Well that's good."
Colleen looked at the second pastry again and Will saw her and said, "It's not there for you to look at its there for you to eat."
"I want o keep an eye on my figure is all."
Will gave a bark of laughter, "Darling, you're a twig. Your light as a feather, your allowed to eat."
"I should rephrase that, I want to keep this figure. It'd kill me to fatten up and then see you walk off with one of the tiny girls." She pouted and he reached over and cupped her face in one strong hand.
"Dove, I wouldn't leave you no matter how you looked." He kissed her lips softly and then motioned to the food, "Now go on and eat."
Colleen smiled and cuddled next to him a little on the bench seat before picking up another pastry and chewing happily on it, looking out the window as she did so. Suddenly trumpets sounded and drums began to pound.
Will jumped up, "Do you hear that??"
"Yes, isn't that the call before they hang someone?" Colleen stifled a yawn and took another sip of milk. Since the house was so close to the water, one could look out from the back garden and see the hangings take place. Colleen told Will so and he jumped clean out the window to see it.
Will's heart sank what if they had found one of his boys? The thought was horrible.
But by the time he got outside the body was already hanging limply from the bottom of a rope. A short drop and a sudden stop. He turned to Colleen and gave her a quick kiss, "Dove I'm just going to see if I knew the bloke, savvy? You stay here and finish your breakfast, and I'll be back in a moment."
With that he sped off and Colleen looked after his figure thinking, "Bloody gorgeous, but a bit odd. No matter, he's a sweetheart."
She smiled after him, deciding that everyone was a little eccentric and went inside to finish eating, she had an appetite this morning and with Will's promise he wouldn't stop loving her, she grabbed yet another pastry.
A/N- ok its short and its been a long time since I updated and Wow, I am choking on the soddy writing and the lemony lemony love story but O WELL I LIKE IT. K. Comments? Please?
