Time went by to no purpose and Angelica was pacing up and down the main deck in a tiresome way, all in the while Jack was watching irritably as the arrow of his compass went from left to right and back to the left, slowly following her moves.

However, Jack gave in and just watched lazily at his poor management of this situation, deciding that he has gone insane if that's the target his compass is pointing to. A woman had never interested him beyond bed and still he felt complete around Angelica, but that was a feeling even Jack didn't know he had although it was there all the time...

And it carried on – Angelica pacing around endlessly and Jack following her with his gaze, yet secretly so not a single living soul witnessed it.

He was sat at the helm and Jacks heart nearly stopped when he saw Angelica coming into his direction. As a cue he slapped his compass shut before Angelica could see what he didn't want her to see and moved his gaze to the sea.

She moved up the stairs, "Correct me if I'm wrong, you are wasting time, doing nothing, plus you still want to find the book, but putting no effort in doing so!" Angelica made a gesture for each of her statements trying to express her frustration.

Jack just blinked with his eyebrows raised as though she is making too much fuss about it, when actually she had a point.

"If that displeases you, there are a lot of things that can keep you busy and out of my own business, for example the deck needs a good scrubbing or you can join the cook." He dismissed her wanting some privacy with his thoughts.

Only Angelica would not be Angelica if that answer satisfied her and she left it at that, "If the deck needs scrubbing then it would be best if you get to work, Jack – but that is not why I'm here."

Jack was not surprised by her response but ignored it.

"There are many other things you can do if you don't like any of which I mentioned…" Jack said trying to get rid of her verbally.

Angelica took a deep breath and tried to stay calm and relaxed. "Mantener la calma" She muttered, "Jack! As lazy as you may be, you can do nothing, but I'm not like that. I'm leaving!" She yelled at him and headed down the stairs.

"Well, at least finding you won't be a problem." He grumbled to himself and ran after her. "Calling me lazy!? It was you who weren't satisfied with the jobs I offered you and that is hinting that you are a lazy wench, not me."

Angelica stopped dead in her tracks and slowly twirled around on her heels. "What. Did. You. Say?" She asked through gritted teeth.

"I said you are a lovely wench," Jack gave her an innocent smile.

"Oh, really? But I thought I heard something different – completely different." Angelica started to circle him carefully.

"You surely misheard me, love."

"You know how much I hate it when I am called -"

"Lazy?" Jack finished for her, "Yes, I know, I know!"

Angelica stopped circling him and gave him a long silent look. "Where was I?"

"You were going to kiss me –

"I was going to leave! And I am," She added turning to leave once again.

Jack got hold of her wrist, "No you're not."

"Yes I am."

No you're not, luv."

"I am, Jack."

"No! Not until I'm alive." It was only when he said it, Jack realized he was protesting far too much so Angelica could notice it.

She gave him a playful smirk, reaching her hand to brush his lips with her fingertips, gently.

"And why are you so concerned about me leaving?" She whispered moving closer to him.

"Concerned? I'm not concerned at all." Jack denied and at that stage he could see that her lips were inches away from his.

"Then what is it?"

"I need you for physical desires and nothing else," He lied.

Angelica stepped away from him quickly, deep inside upset and broken. "You are a stupid, ignorant and selfish man - no bastard." She declared before adding something in Spanish but to Jacks astonishment she said it all peacefully.

Neither of them moved and just stared at each other with something between anger and passion, hence Jack couldn't look at her when she had those upset eyes which made her look cute and vulnerable.

"Why are you doing this to me, Angelica? Can't you see that I –

Angelica grabbed him behind his neck and pushed their lips together greedily and Jack immediately flushed her body against his so that they were as close as possible. His hands traveled up and down her sides and just as she parted her lips for him, she pulled away their bodies still entwined with each other.

"Can't I see what, Jack?" She asked brushing his lips with hers lightly.

Jack moved one of her long locks behind her ear, "I care for you, love." He breathed and captured her lips into a heated kiss. Jack guided her towards his cabin not breaking the kiss and stopped as soon as her back was against the door, looking for the handle with one hand and slipping her vest off with the other.

Angelica broke the kiss, "Jack, did you forget something?" Jack frowned in thought trying to think of what it was he forgot.

"Em… no? Angelica?"

"We can't do this, not today." Angelica pointed out and disappointed Jack.

"Why?"

She rolled her eyes at his stupidity, "Wasn't it you who nagged me about having 'those days' this morning?"

"Oh! Well what do you want us to do then?"

Angelica smiled. "You need to sort out the map subject you were trying to avoid."

"Do we have to? There is plenty of time to think about it later," Jack whined determined to hide the fact that his compass was pointing at her.

"John could not be in Tortuga anymore and –

"OK. Could you be a dear and find Gibbs for me please?" Jack cut her off knowing that she was right.

"Find him yourself; I've got other things to do since you like cutting me off." Angelica got out of his grasp and headed under deck.

"Angelica, wait!" But she just waved him off with her hand.

Jack muttered under his breath and went in search of Gibbs – not before finding some rum.

Sorry this chapter is so short but I promise the next one is going to be much longer.
