Three suns and moons passed by, and that evening of knocking repeated every evening. Jack chose always some hour in the middle of the night, always knocking on Jenny's door, and asking her to talk, but he never came and asked during day.
She was so confused of his behavior. Why did he wanted to talk to her ? And if he really wanted to talk, then why he didn't asked her during white day. Why he always took the courage at night.
And every following evening, his voice was more and more desperate.
The full moon was high, and Jenny couldn't sleep that night. She always can't sleep during the cycle of full moon, so she stays up, and only gaze out of window, watching that magnificent wonder of nature. Millions of start above the sea, crowned with majestic moon. Glowing.
She just laid down on her stiff bed, gazing to the wooden ceiling, when she heard steps outside of her cabin. They stopped right in front of her doors, and then there was that knock again.
,,Jenny I know you're there…'' Jack uttered slowly, breathing out his sadness.
Her eyes were ticking over her ceiling, as her arms were behind her head, pillowing it gently. She listened, thinking…
He grabbed at the handle, and tried to open. But her doors were locked.
She lifted her body on her elbows, and turned her head to doors, when she heard a loud sigh, and dull hit as his forehead probably hit the door.
,,Please…''
If he wanted just sex, then why he was still asking for talk. What was that important to talk about with her ? And why he couldn't ask her during day, when she several times met him on deck.
And if he really wanted sex, and she was bravely rejecting him, then why he didn't asked Flora or Betsy ? To try, if they would want.
Suddenly she heard steps, as he walked away.
Sitting slowly up on her bed, she faced her doors. It was too strange from him.
She couldn't help it. Right the next morning, she was by rudder, when Betsy and Flora walked to her.
,,How's our captain ?'' she asked, as girls were looking worried.
Flora sighed ,,Still the same…pale…sick…I hope, she will get through this-''
,,-Of course she will get through this, it's just…'' Jenny said harshly, stumbling suddenly.
Betsy looked at her, inquiringly cracking her brow ,,Yes ? It's just what ?''
,,I don't know…I hope Tortuga will make her feel better, she always gets a good mood when we're there,'' Jenny nodded, as girls did so. Hesitating for a while, she ran her finger over the rudder slowly, looking at her hands, she took a breath ,,Did…did Jack knocks on your door ? I mean, at night ?''
Girls changed their sights, looking back at Jenny.
,,No, I haven't noticed…why ? Did he knocked on yours ?'' Betsy crossed her hands on her chest.
,,Well, yes, and it seems strange to me…I wanted to ask, if he did it by you too, or if he knocks only on mine ?'' Jenny sighed, biting her lip, and straying from her sisters' gaze.
Flora shrugged ,,Maybe he just doesn't know it's your cabin, or he's drunk, or he thinks its Mariana's cabin…but he wasn't by me as well.''
,,What does he want ?'' Betsy smirked. ,,To quiff ?''
,,No…that's the thing, he doesn't want anything, but talk…and he really seems to want just to talk, why it's so weird to me ?'' Jenny turned to them, looking inquiringly and desperate.
,,Well, that's really weird. Talking is not Jack's behavior actually…'' Betsy laughed with Flora at once.
,,That's not funny Bet. I have no idea, how to make him stop, it's driving me mad,'' Jenny sighed, softly adjusting the direction of ship, looking straight.
,,Then why don't you open the doors ?'' they asked at once.
,,I don't know !'' Jenny hissed briskly. Calming down, she closed her eyes, shaking with her head, she whispered ,,I don't know…''
Well now that possibility, about Jack wanting to quiff and choosing one of her sisters instead of her, when she was uncooperative, was gone.
That evening, she went to captain's cabin, to look over Mariana. She was seeming better. She was maybe still slightly pale, but she had finally the lust for wine, and good mood. Or at least-better mood.
,,I'm glad to see you so cheerful birdie,'' Jenny smiled as she walked closer to her, watching Marry, with her face half buried in map, a chalice of red wine in her hand, and candles dimly enlightening her cabin.
,,Well me too, want drink ?'' Marry lifted her head with smile, showing her the other chalice by her side.
,,Oh-yes please,'' Jenny stepped to her, pouring herself some wine, before sitting opposite Marry.
,,So, what about you and Jack ?'' Marry looked at her, putting her legs up on her table, to be more comfortable, drinking, and smiling suspiciously.
,,What about me and Jack ?'' Jenny went serious, before she might drink her own wine.
,,I don't know, I was on deck only two times, during those days, and briefly, but I couldn't overlook, how he's watching you, when he does…so. And I know, what do you feel to him,'' Marry winked, raising her glass, before drinking.
,,Wh-what ?'' Jenny bulged her eyes at her.
,,Oh come on, the passion, with which you were telling me all those stories, and how you always smiled, during saying his name, each and every time, all my childhood. And how you felt, when you were telling me about my mother. And how you wanted a child ?'' Marry slowly explained, shifting leg over leg on her desk.
Jenny smirked loudly, drinking ,,What didn't I cover…''
,,Then ? Do you still feel the same ?'' Marry smiled, looking at her dreamily.
Jenny silenced for a long time, gazing into her chalice, only when she lifted her eyes to meet Marry's, she uttered ,,I do…''
That was the reason, why she didn't want to continue, where they ended the first night.
,,I do, and I don't want to…I can't be with him, because…hhh-fine, since you brought this up,'' she shifted better in her chair, throwing leg over leg, and drinking again. ,,We never told you, he was with all of us, well…he was, because he was taking it, as a challenge, to sleep with five Devils sisters. And we were compliant. And yes, I felt for him. He was maybe the only man, for whom I felt something. With whom I felt alive…and that time, I was young, and I was longing for child. And when I was with Jack-'' she smiled, looking in her chalice again ,,-I felt like, aye he's the one I want to have a child with. But he deserted us, without singe word.''
,,And it broke your heart ?'' Mariana frowned sadly, looking at her aunt.
,,Not in the least. No. He was, and still is pirate. I wouldn't bother, if he left me ten times back then…but I wanted a child, and…I was expecting one,'' Jenny uttered.
Mariana widened her eyes, and narrowed in her chair, listening more carefully.
,,I was happy for two weeks…before I lost it, when we were caught by East India Company. Well…I lost my baby, and what ? I would take it…if Teresa…if…'' Jenny swallowed her bitter tears, which were stuck in her eyes.
,,She wasn't expecting me…'' Marry breathed, putting down her chalice.
Jenny nodded, closing her eyes, those small tears rolled down her cheeks.
,,She told us, and that broke my heart. Because nobody knew, about my miscarrying, but about her, being white-swelling. I was broken, I was furious, I was jealous. And…I hated her for awaiting you…until the last two months. She became ill, and she was fading in front of our very eyes. I was the one, who stuck to her. Betsy had her sailors, Flora became captain, as it's our tradition, Ursula would have killed her at the moment she was told about her white-swelling. Only I wanted to be with her. And before she died…when she gave birth to you…she said the only thing…'Take care of my Mariana…Princess of the sea'….and then she died, due exhaustion, and bleeding, and weakness. She only held you once. Once.''
Jenny silenced, with tears streaming of her eyes, Just as Marry cried heavily.
,,I never forgive myself, for not taking care of her all that time…for envying her, of having you,'' Jenny nodded, admitting the words, she was keeping within for eighteen years. ,,I could breathe for you, and I still do…''
Mariana swallowed thickly, calming down, as her lip trembled with her words ,,Why have you never told me ?''
,,I don't know…to not hurt you ?'' Jenny sniffed, drinking the rest of her wine, swallowing all her present pain.
Mariana stood up, and walked around the table, sitting in Jenny's lap, and hugging her tightly. Jenny immediately put her chalice on table and hugged her back, as tight as girl was hugging her.
,,I'm glad you told me…and I'm so sorry,'' Marry sniffed to her shoulder.
,,Don't be, you have nothing to be sorry about,'' Jenny sobbed hard.
,,You were like my mother all the time, and you still are. Thank you,'' Mariana nodded, cupping Jenny's cheeks, before hugging her again.
,,I love you, my little sparrow, you deserved to know,'' Jenny sniffed, and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand slowly.
,,But always, when you were talking about children...you still want, don't you ?'' Marry looked deep in her chocolate brown eyes.
Closing them, to avoid her gaze, she took a deep breath nodding with weak whisper ,,I do.''
,,Now it's different. I would be with you, and I would take care of anybody who would disagree with it. You have Jack here, and if you still feel for him, then why don't you-''
,,-Because I don't know…I don't know, if it broke my heart if he'd left now,'' Jenny sniffed softly, not looking in Marry's eyes.
,,You said, he's pirate. It's in his nature. I'm sure he will leave with his crew, right after we board in Tortuga, that's why I need to talk with him about Black Pearl, before we get there, but…if you really want child, and you feel for him, then…'' Mariana stroked her cheeks gently, smiling at her.
Jenny only shook with her head ,,I don't know…''
,,I think you deserve some tenderness, and to make your wish come true,'' Marry nodded, still smiling at her.
,,Maybe,'' Jenny sighed, hugging Mariana once again.
She should think it through, and best in her own cabin, in her bed, or completely sleep on it. Even though she would not sleep, due the full moon, which was now high above the ocean.
Stroking her cheek, she smiled ,,Well, I wanted to know, if you are good, and I can see you are much better than yesterday, so can I await you tomorrow on the deck ?''
,,Sure, I will be there, if I'll feel the same as now,'' Marry nodded smiling.
,,Alright, I'm gonna go to sleep,'' Jenny nodded, waiting till Marry stood from her lap, and hugged her the last time, before Jenny left captain's quarters.
Closing doors behind her, she was about to walk few steps to her own cabin, but she took one step, stumbling as she heard violin from below.
Curling her fingers around the railing, she looked down on the main deck, where saw Jack, standing right in the middle, smiling up at her. It made her smile too.
,,What are you doing Jack ?'' she breathed, slightly shaking with her head, and leaning over the railing.
,,Well, when you wouldn't come to music, then music had to come to you,'' he smiled, spreading wide his arms, showing her to come down. ,,Would you join me ?''
Not nodding, not shaking with her head, she only narrowed, throwing brief glance on her cabin's doors, she turned back to Jack, and slowly walked to stairs, taking step after step to the main deck.
Listening to high notes of violin, and watching how Jack went closer to stairs, with still lifted hand for her, she smiled, taking her steps slow.
,,I missed the dance, on the music night, and I can't live without knowing, I haven't got my tango with you. Can I ask you for dance ?'' he slowly explained with the same smile on his face, as she stopped on the last step, being exactly in his eyes level with her eyes.
Nodding eagerly, she let him take her hand, and move her off stairs, when the guitar joined the violin. She threw her arms around his neck, and gentle raised her thigh to his hip, as he held her back, and her leg. Putting it down, she circled her toe away, sliding with her palms down his neck.
Twirling around him to his other side, that she was now with her back against his chest, when he hugged her waist, turning her only to her side, and holding her raised leg again, that she was leaning against him, turning to him, her left toe touching briefly the floor, before she threw it up, and Jack held her body in her arms. She went for a moment leg over leg touching his left hip, when he put her down again.
She smiled at him, when his hands landed on her hips again, according to tones of music, she bend her upper body to each side with each stronger tones of guitar, before facing him, and he bend her backwards circling his front and lifting up, grabbing her hand in tango position.
The music increased with their steps to side.
,,I ordered a crew band,'' he smirked slightly throwing his head to music direction.
,,I noticed,'' Jenny smirked, when she tipped her toe with his, going to his side on one knee, and he by gently grip on her nape bend her yet backward, and then drawing her back up, slowly.
Twirling her to his other side, she grabbed gently his hips, walking backwards and he followed her.
Her hands sliding up his torso, as they stopped and she wriggled with her left foot, circling it around his calf again ,,And I noticed your knocks on my door.''
Gently pushing her leg back as she held on his hips again, now he walking backwards and she following ,,I knew it. Why haven't you answered me ?''
,,If you wanted to talk-'' she made sidestep with spread arms, one palm on his chest, coming back ,,-then talk now,'' her hand back in his, he tipped them down to side, and back up, walking to their left side backwards.
Taking her right hand and circling her, that her back was once again against his chest, hugging her waist while still holding her both hands he leaned to her ear and uttered ,,Well I wanted to talk about…us.'' Pushing at her hands, that he turned her to him again, she grabbed at his neck, right away cupping his cheeks, and looking in his eyes as music stopped for brief few seconds.
With another first few increased swift tones he grabbed her waist, clutching her tight to his front, that she gasped at the teasing feel. Before he walked her backwards again.
Clearing her throat by swallowing, she tipped his calf, before he did the same, and twice more ,,About us, then talk ?''
,,Yes, well…I don't know where to start. I haven't thanked you enough for Mariana. Then also for drinking with me, I have to admit,'' she took a step closer, that her front was tightly clutched to his, while she ran her ankle around and up his right thigh ,,I felt so good, in so many years. We could have those laughs more often. And then…''
Dancing with her forward, she eagerly listening to him, while holding his hands, looking still to his eyes ,,And then ?''
He stopped with her, her hands around his neck again, as she did the same movement with her upper body to each her side as at the beginning, but still listening to him. Turning her back to him, taking his hands and walking to side, forward.
,,And then, that stake, I-I mean, the fact about Mariana, how she loves the king, that we have the same thinking, and-and we…end up in your cabin…I miss you-'' he suddenly let out, while he tipped her back holding her on his left arm, and looking down in her sparkling eyes, which start widening.
Lifting her back, she smiled briefly inconspicuously, before he turned her to him.
So he miss me ?
Tapping her foot forward and back, he stepped between her thighs with his left leg, and she tipped at his calf teasingly ,,Well that's lovely to hear.''
,,That's not all-''
,,-Then go on,'' she giggled, listening to him while he twirled her in front of him, both taking step to different side, and back, and then doing the same to the other side, each time briefly looking at each other.
He took her hands crossed on her hips, circling her to him, and raising her thigh, that her toe of her left leg was once again briefly touching the floor, and he drew her with him backwards ,,Well I thought, when we felt so good together, then why couldn't we…be together.''
He let her stood firmly, before raising her up, sitting her on his thigh when he bend her down, she threw her head back, enjoying it, before he might lift her again.
Raising her slowly, too slowly, she looked up at him, how he watched her, she smiled ,,And what would you do with me, if we were together ?'' she bit her lip, standing on her feet, and walking teasingly few steps away from him, but he quickly followed, grabbing at her waist, and raising her up above him, circling with her around the deck.
Fluently easing her down on his chest with his words ,,Mainly, I would make you forget, I ever left you alone…''
,,Sounds good- go on,'' she sighed with closing eyes, before he took her hand and with gentle tones danced with her slowly across the main deck, she opening her eyes meeting his.
,,I would bathe you in passion,'' he growled in the back of his throat, looking at her lustfully.
Jesus he can even talk good about it…
Pursing her lips slightly, when he twirled her around, and then tipping with her to side and back up. He looked in her eyes forcing her backwards.
,,Make you wriggle and writhe. Whisper sweet things in your ear, and devour all of your senses at once,'' he slowed their dance steps, as music softened-almost stopped.
She was only looking in his eyes, as his words make her melt to his arms, she completely weakened in her steps, and she might fall if he wasn't holding her carefully, but firmly.
With soft tones of violin, he leaned to her ear ,,I would make you forget about everything, and cry out for my touch, and when you would not take more…you would scream my name in the sensation of sudden, endless burst…'' nuzzling his nose, to the side of her neck, brushing his lips and his beard down on her neckline as far as her skin was revealed, fluently with his words against her skin.
She didn't notice the music stopped again for brief two seconds, and when the violin brutally increased, Jack swiftly bend her down completely, and as she was really weakened, like she turned into butter, it was quite easy for him, just to hold her carefully few inches above the wooden floor of main deck.
She was staring in his eyes, when he started descending down to her, with fluently silencing music.
Well maybe Mariana was right. He is still the same, but he cares, and he wants me…still…and he's so adorable and charming when he does want. I could really forget with him…even if it was for a brief moment, I could…and he could give me the child, though this time I shall be more carefull….
Jenny was quickly deciding, and rightening her fast thoughts, half delirious from his talk and their dance.
When he was few inches from her face, she was already sure of her decision, waiting for him, her eyes closing.
He breathed hotly against her lips ,,I noticed that Miguel's kiss was rejected. Shall I kiss you or mine kiss would end on your cheek as well-''
,,-Shut up, and kiss !'' she moaned, pushing at the back of his head, his lips crushing down on hers, she tasted his wet, hot mouth, when his tongue slowly invaded her mouth.
