Chapter 7
In which Jack Sparrow teaches our heroine how to dance a bit differently from the waltz
"Making us square?" Agnes looked into Jack's eyes with a worried sight. "Why would you…I mean…"
"I met with Jack Sparrow, he didn't fulfill my expectations, he wasn't a man, he was more of a...childish boy." Jack impersonated her and looked deeply into Agnes's eyes. She smiled mildly and looked down as a child who regrets what had been done. Jack gently put his hand on her face and made her look into his eyes.
"Well well, so you don't think of me as a man. That's a shame." Jack eyed her rather tremendously.
"Jack, we are on the street of Port Royal, right in front of the governor's palace. I'm terribly sorry, but you can't do anything to me." Agnes mocked him, but couldn't help getting lost in Jack's eyes.
"Love, you are too sharp." Jack looked down, at her lips. "Still, I got to teach you not to do such things."
"How afraid I am." Agnes smiled at him.
"You should be, love." Jack whispered it to her ears, and placed a gentle kiss on her neck.
"That's because you made me to wear a dress…" Jack moved his head to the other side of her face, whispering in her ears again. " That's because you said that Captain Jack Sparrow is a childish boy…" The man placed another lustful kiss on her cheek. Agnes gave out a small moan, but didn't let him win this small game of his, so she gazed into those dangerous brown eyes and then whispered into his ears.
"It's not fair, you are listing all the bad things I've done to you. Now what do I get for that I rescued you from the jail?" Agnes saw Jack's eyes lit up, felt his strong arms wrapping around her waist. He pushed her body to his body, and his lips were just an inch from hers away.
"This." Jack whispered, and made her lips melt into his. The kiss grew more and more passionate, his fingers played with her brown locks lustfully. None of them wanted to broke the kiss, so they were just standing there, letting the other one to discover this unbelievable, lifting feeling.
"If…" Agnes wanted to speak, but Jack's mouth simply didn't let her lips away. "If…" She started again, but Jack simply refused to free her mouth, so she spoke anyway. "If you think with this you can redeem those nasty things you have done to me, then I have to disappoint you..." It was hard to speak while Jack's lips played with hers, and she had to realize, that the words were rather unrecognizable, but she hoped Jack would understand every word of it. It seemed to work, because Jack answered, and now it was her turn to find out what he tried to tell her.
"Yes, I know that I can't redeem it with only this…so should I get a room, or is it okay for you on a ship?" It took a few moments for her to piece the words together. Her hand immediately swung to snap Jack's face. However, Jack wouldn't let her lips get away.
"That was….not nice, love." He mumbled into her mouth.
"You deserved that." She continued the game. "I hope you know that you have to let my mouth go sooner or later, Jack.
"Later…" He mumbled and the gentle kiss became passionate again. Agnes felt herself swirling around, like a typhoon or a whirlpool which never stops. It was just so good to be there with him…
"Take me dancing." Agnes freed her mouth from Jack's and announced it suddenly. Jack smiled at her.
"Love…" Ha looked at her hesitantly. "First we got to say hi to my crew. And…I don't think you would find a place this time in the streets Port Royal where they dance waltz." Agnes's lips curved into a smile.
"I know. Let's go!"
------------------------------
"Are you sure that is what you want?" Jack looked worryingly at Agnes in front of the large wooden door of the 'Three Turnsoles'.
"Yes. I would like to know what it's like. Look, I have never been out in Port Royal alone after six clock…"
"Apart from the day when you found my ship, eh?"
"Jack Sparrow, you can stay here, if you want, but I'm going in." As she said it, she opened the door and walked into the pub. It was smoky, dark and full of dependable looking people. On the walls there were torches burning, and she could feel surprised looks on her. Jack took her hand, like a worried father holds the hand of its daughter. Agnes smiled to herself, and looked around: wooden tables, benches all around. She could hear music playing from one dark corner. She immediately went to the bar, not bothering with the anxious Jack.
"Give me a grog, matey." She motioned to the barman, and then looked at Jack with a naughty smile on her face, as the proud children look at their father.
"Err, next time leave the talking to me."
"Jack Sparrow, you don't like my style?" Agnes turned up her nose, then drank the rum just placed in front of her. For a moment she felt as if her throat would be burning.
"Are ya alright, love?"
"Of course…hey…I want more of it!"
"Um, I don't think that would be a wise idea..."
"Matey, one more …and one for this gentleman as well!"
"Look, love, I'm glad that you like rum but maybe it's..."
"Oh c'mon, Jack." Agnes actually enjoyed watching him as he looked at her in this new, anxious way. He worried for her. He cared for her. She drank the second one pretty fast, then looked into the man's eyes.
"You know what, Jack?"
"What?"
"Let's dance. I want to dance. Now."
"I don't think…"
But Agnes immediately got up from the chair, gripping Jack's arms she pulled him closer.
"Now…you said they don't dance waltz here. Now show me how do they dance here."
"Emm, love, they don't really dance here…" He smiled and then leant closer to her "That's why looks everybody in our direction like we were crazy." He said matter-of-factly.
"Jack…will you teach me to dance or not?"
"Alright. But if it's going to be too wild for you…you had been warned.
Jack clutched Agnes's hips and pushed her to his body. Agnes looked surprised, but didn't say anything.
"Put your arms around my neck." He instructed, and she did it so. Jack brushed a wavy lock from her face away.
"Hey we need some music!" He shouted. "I gotta dance with the lady." He grinned at her, his golden teeth twinkled in the light of the torches. And music began to play, Latin rhythms, fast enough to dance.
"And now love…sway…" He stepped back with one step, but then stopped. "Sway. Swing. Move your hips."
"You mean…" she made some clumsy move, but Jack shook his head, and gently moved her hips.
"Like this...easy. Now again…back .a few steps...then one to right, back...forward."
By this time many people started clapping hands, some of them were whistling and made funny comments.
"You see love, we have audience." Jack smiled at Agnes, just when a ragged man patted Jack's shoulder and looked at Agnes. "Hey mate, now it's my turn."
"Excuse me, matey, but as you can see, the lady is dancing with me, so sorry, but no."
"You have danced enough. Gimme the girl."
Jack raised an eyebrow, and regardless of the man, continued dancing. The next thing Agnes could see was the man's fist, aimed at Jacks head, but he ducked from it and convinced the man with some well-aimed punches that he doesn't want to dance. Well, in the pub the fight had just begun. Jack grinned apologizingly at Agnes, and amongst a few punches they danced to the entrance. Jack opened the door, successfully managed to duck down from a flying bottle and politely motioned to Agnes.
"Ladies first."
They stepped out to the cool summer night. The street was abandoned, the stars were shining and they could hear the sweet music of the waves. Agnes wrapped her arms around Jack.
"Jack, that was…"
"What, love?" Jack looked down on her with a caring smile and found her eyes closing down, her body almost dropping. With a gentle smile on his face he took the woman into his arms, and gazed at her.
"Sleep well, my beauty." He whispered.
-------------------------------
'Oh, wow, now that was a good sleep. It's just so comfortable to lie here, on this warm, cuddly…chest?'
Agnes's eyes sprang wide open. She was lieing on a bed- with Jack Sparrow on it.
'He doesn't have his shirt on. Why doesn't he have his shirt on?' She looked around startled, trying to guess if Jack had his pants on or not, but because o the blanket she couldn't decide.
Maybe, if she lifted the blanket, just for a second…he was sleeping so peacefully…Agnes slowly lifted the blanket and peeped under it.
'Oh, he has it. Okay. Phew.'
"What are you doing, love?" Agnes froze for a second, but then immediately let the blanket.
"Noth…Nothing."
"You know love that you don't have to do such things, just ask me and I'll show you…ouch!"
Agnes snapped Jack's face.
"I just wanted to know if you had your pants on or…" She looked at him and found him grinning. "You are making fun of me, aren't you? Anyway, where are we?" Agnes looked around. They were in a cabin on a ship, for sure, but where? "And what…what happened yesterday?"
"Well, talking of which, it was wonderful, love. We should repeat it." A wide smile spread across his face. Agnes gripped a pillow and simply threw it at Jack.
"Alright, alright, just stop hitting me. Nothing happened. After the bar you simply fell asleep, I brought you to the ship."
"The…Black Pearl?"
For a second Jack's face darkened.
"No, that is still in Grey's hands. That's just a temporary one, we found it in the dock, just two guards were on it. Pretty nice one, actually, so I have to sail with the Blue Dolphin until…"
"What?" Agnes froze.
"I said it's a pretty nice ship."
"No, what's the name of this ship? Is it the…"
"Blue Dolphin."
For a moment Agnes looked at Jack in disbelief.
"Jack Sparrow, you stole the ship of…my father:"
"Oops…sorry." Jack made a boyish, apologizing grin, but Agnes immediately got up from the bed.
"No, you don't understand. My father was going to sail off this morning. My father is one of the commodores of the Royal Navy, I guess he is already informed that you stole his ship. If they find me here..." Agnes patrolled up and down shaking her head quite startled.
"Love, you forgot one thing…I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, they will not gain on me."
"Great, couldn't you just leave me in Port Royal?"
"Sorry, love, but somehow didn't get the urges to knock in to a commodore's palace with her daughter sleeping in my hands."
"Oh, well…"
"Love, I put you out in the nearest port, is that okay?"
"You don't understand. Commodore Norrington knows that you were the 'friend' who I wanted to rescue from the island. This morning you disappeared from the jail, I disappeared and my father's ship disappeared. The whole Navy will try to one: search for me, two: hunt you with my father's ship down!"
"I see your point."
"And?"
"Well if you must, then please shout outside on the deck. I'm still a bit sleepy, you know." Jack yawned at lay back to the bed. "Anyway, I think you should sleep some more too. You know, you drank a lot yesterday."
Agnes gazed at Jack as if he was at least crazy.
"Hallo, Jack? Are you listening to what I'm saying?"
"Yes I am. Now if you excuse me…"
She stared at him in disbelief, then simply turned around and walked out of the cabin.
"He is insane. He is made. He is totally crazy." She muttered it under her breath while bumping into Steven. " Hi Steven have you heard? Jack Sparrow went crazy."
The man raised an eyebrow then gave her a mild smile.
"Well, no news then."
"Steven, the whole Royal Navy can appear on the horizon in every minute, and he simply tells me that he wants to sleep." Agnes tried to discover some kind of condolence in the man's eyes, but he shrugged with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, usually he knows what he is doing."
Agnes couldn't believe.
"Am I the only one who is not insane on this ship?"
"Ships on the horizon!" A voice called out from the crow's nest. Agnes folded her arms. "What did I tell you?"
"They still need a good half an hour to gain on us." Steven noted.
Agnes reluctantly shrugged and went to the back of the ship, watching the figures of three ships on the horizon. Half an hour. And what happens then? For a moment she shivered. If Norrington and his father gain on them, the Blue Dolphin will fight. Jack Sparrow and his crew against the Royal Navy. Against his father…Time had passed and the ships grow bigger and bigger with every minute.
"Ello, luv." She could hear a familiar voice behind her back. She turned back, but Sparrow had already passed her, he was busy giving commands to the crew. Agnes walked up to him.
"Did you sleep well?" She asked it with a polite smile.
"Yes, I.."
"Oh, I'm so unbelievably happy to hear that. Uh-oh, you know what, let's have a quiet nice breakfast, you know, we have plenty time. What do you want to have? Scrambled eggs? Some rum maybe?"
Jack raised his eyebrows.
"Well, didn't plan it, but now if you insist on cooking me some scrambl…"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK WHAT ARE THOSE WOODEN LOGS ON THE WATER? SHIPS! OF THE ROYAL NAVY! AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SLEEPIN', EATING…"
"No, luv, the eating part was you. Anyway, at least I'm not shouting. Oh, and if you happen to repeat it, I will have to close you in my cabin, no matter how much I would miss your cute yelling."
"At least tell me what in your wicked mind is! Or will you make a plan up when they start to blow holes in the ship?"
"Now, you see, that's the mistake in your thinking. They will not start to blow holes on the ship."
Agnes gawped at him.
"Ahem, yes, because…?"
"Love. You said this ship is your father's ship. He is trying to find his precious daughter, who happens to be on his ship. Do you think your father would start blowing holes in any ship with you on it?"
"Ehm." That made sense. Anyway…" So what do you plan to do? Fight with them? Or maybe ransom?
"No. My intention is to get the Black Pearl back."
"Thank you for sharing this with us, however, the question for today is, what are you planning to do with them?"
"Oh, I have just told you. I want me ship back. And they are going to help me."
