Thank you for the reviews you all are wonderful!
Disclamier: I don't own characters or etc. of Potc!
NOTE FROM THE BETA: Don't you hate it when you answer the phone and the person that's on the other line has no clue you're there? Yeah, at the moment I'm listening to my grandma administer medical advice to a patient. And I'm just sittin' here going, "WTF!" Well, anyway. Cute ending to this chapter! Lizze's finally getting it. Everyone knows that nightmares are breeding ground for adorableness and fluff. XD And she just cut off. Lol. Well, Savvy's been in a random Bootstrap-lovin' mood, so I've got to suffer for it. LARPs abound. Wootage. Well, I was quite a perv about this chapter, and I think if you read it right you'll find out why. Stay tuned, Jimperbam.
Chapter 8 Spending the Night
Jack and Elizabeth sat on the beach for a while. It started getting really late, so everyone decided to go back to the ship. Everyone went to sleep immediatley, except for Jack. He smirked for hours thinking about the bondfire and the girl he danced with.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, was not smirking. She was having a horrible nightmare.
"Do you fear death?"
"Do you?" Jack yelled. When Davvy Jones turned around he saw Jack with the heart and part of his sword.
"Your a cruel man, Jack Sparrow." Davvy Jones said angrily.
"Cruel is a matter of perpestive." Jack said with a slight smiling.
"Is it." Davvy Jones spoke. Will cringed and moaned when he felt the sword go through his chest. Elizabeth gasped and Jack froze as Davvy Jones twisted it.
"It's always belonged to you. Will you keep it safe?" Will asked while holding the chest.
"Yes."
"What are you willing to give up for my forgiveness?" Jack whispered with a smirk.
"I should have told you every day from the moment I met you: I love you." Will said as he walked away.
"But you're his father!" Elizabeth said softly while looking at Bill's sad expression.
"You're going to want to know what it tastes like." Elizabeth whispered in a seductive voice.
"I do want to know what it tastes like." Jack mumbled as he turned to Elizabeth and started to back up.
"I always knew you were a good man." Elizabeth said with a smile as she walked towards Jack.
"Will you marry me?" Will asked in the middle of the malestrom.
"I like yours too." Jack breathed as he leaned in.
"You will come over to my side." Jack spoke in a all-knowing voice.
"I could in fact perform a...marri-age. Right here. Right on this deck. Right now." Jack whispered as he leaned closer.
"Will you keep it safe?" Will asked while holding the chest.
Elizabeth raised up violently as she awoke from her dream. She was sweating and crying at the same time. She couldn't believe all those memories came rushing in her mind. All those memories...how they bothered her so. She tried to go back to sleep but they kept haunting her. She needed someone. Someone to hold her and tell her everything will be alright. She needed Jack.
Elizabeth ran out of her cabin in her nightgown. She finally found where Jack was staying and cracked open the door. He was leaning against the headboard with his eyes shut.
"Jack?" Elizabeth whispered.
"Elizabeth...what are ya...doin'...here?" Jack opened his eyes and yawned. He couldn't belive she was just in her nightgown, but he tried to keep that to himself, albeit she looked amazing in it.
"I had a bad dream and I can't sleep. I just... Jack I can't handle this. I know I'm the king and all, but it's just Will, and the island, and the chest. And then there's you. It's just too much. All the memories--good and bad. Can I stay with you tonight?" Elizabeth begged as she stood at the door that was already shut. "I'm sorry I got you up I just..." She was interrupted by Jack.
"Come here, love." Jack whispered. He held out his arms and scooted over. Elizabeth ran over an sat beside him on the bed. She lay in his arms and started to cry.
"The horrible thing is he has no idea. How much it's hurting me, I mean." Elizabeth mumbled in to Jack's chest. She held on to him with all the will power she had and cried. She didn't notice that besides his boxers, that's all he had on.
"Don't leave me. Please. I've already lost so many people I care about. Please don't leave me, Jack." Elizabeth begged.
"I'll never leave ya love. Count on that." Jack kissed her on top of the head. They both finally went to sleep. Elizabeth didn't have any more bad dreams that night.
When Elizabeth awoke the next morning her and Jack's legs were intwined. Jack was on his back and Elizabeth was on her side. She had her hand and head on his chest and he had his arm around her. She raised up off of Jack and looked down on him. He was so cute when he was alseep. He looked so at ease. She then realized he was only in his boxers and shirt.
Wonder if he wears this everynight...Oh stop! Elizabeth blushed and looked down. He was wearing white boxers with blue stripes and the white shirt he always wore. It smelled just like him. Rum and salt. She smiled. He had a brownish tan that you could see from a mile away down his legs. That's what you get for living in the Caribbean. She looked down at his feet. They were solid white, nothing special. Just like a man's feet.
She went back to his boxers. She knew that every woman in Tortuga has probably seen those. And other things. But she didn't want to think about that right now. She knew that Jack was a lady's man. So it wasn't like the thought ever crossed her mind. Elizabeth's eyes went up to his face and she didn't even have to think. She already knew all about his glorious facial features.
She looked down at his shirt to where it parted to see his chest. She couldn't believe she was going to do this. But she placed her hand on his chest and started to stoke it. He felt so good. He was so muscular! He was so warm that it made shivers go through her. She felt his chest rise and fall as he breathed. She could see his mucles through his shirt. He was so handsome and ordinary, yet amazing.
She looked up when she heard him mumble, "Lizzie." Jack smiled in his sleep, then immediately fell back alseep. She quickly took off her hand. She couldn't believe she just did that. You're horrible. But he said your name in his sleep. He's thinking about you. Oh, Jack! She smiled and Jack finally opened his eyes to see her looking back at him.
"Morin', love." Jack yawned as he stretched.
"Morning." Elizabeth replied.
"How long you been up?" Jack asked.
"A little while." Elizabeth answered.
"Why didn't you wake me up? Or do you just like looking at me." Jack smirked.
"I didn't want to wake you. You seemed so at ease." Elizabeth said, rolling her eyes mentally.
"I would have wanted to spend time with you than sleep, darling." Jack smiled and she did the same.
"Oh, Jack! Thank you for everything, Jack. I'm sorry about last night. I just..." Elizabeth stopped when she noticed she had her hand on Jack's cheek. She was rubbing her fingers along his lip line while she had been talking. Jack just sat there and smiled. She was cut out of her thoughts by him speaking.
"No problem, love. I'll do anything to help out a female in need." Jack smiled and kissed one of her finger tips. Elizabeth smiled and leaned in and started to kiss Jack. Jack immediately responded and started kissing her back. They both knew they should be doing something else. But they both knew that neither wanted to leave.
