I just had a flute lesson today and I had my soda and cheesecake. I thought I'd tell you that. Anyway, I love this chapter (you will see why at the end). Guess what? Today is the one month anniversary of this story! Yay, let's party!

JessikaK: Aww thank you!

Sparrowismyhummingbird: Lord Beckett is kind of odd to me. I love makeup so much I just had to put it in!


Two days later. . .

Captain Jack Sparrow

Isabelle and Lucinda convinced me to send Elizabeth and Alicia back to Port Royal. Alicia actually wanted to go back home but we had a hard time getting Elizabeth off the ship.

"LET GO OF ME!" Elizabeth screamed. "LET ME GO!"

"Sorry," Lucinda smiled. "But you have to go."

"No I won't! This is all-"Elizabeth was cut off by Isabelle smashing a bottle over her head.

Now, I have very important things to worry about. I have another special dinner with Isabelle planned! I was going to have turkey again because she really likes that and give her a present. This present is a very special one. . .

Isabelle Northwood

I was really happy that Alicia and Elizabeth were sent back home. They were starting to annoy me, anyway. I decided to help Lucinda clean her cabin because I went in there and couldn't see the floor.

"You really need to clean up in here," I told her as I put a skirt in a drawer.

Lucinda folded a blouse, "What's the point?"

"What do you mean, what's the point?" I stared at Lucinda. "There is always a point. How can you live in this mess?"

"You just do," Lucinda said sitting in a chair. "Why make the bed if you're going to mess it up later anyway?"

"Because," I began. "It looks better and neater."

"You just don't understand," She said leaving.


Later in the afternoon. . .

Captain Jack Sparrow

I looked in my pocket to see the shiny silver band. The diamonds were still sparkling in the sun and the silver was a perfect circle. I just knew that this ring would be best for Isabelle. I quickly put it back in my pocket when I saw her walking towards me.

"Hello," She greeted me with a kiss.

I smiled at her, "I have a surprise for you later."

"I love surprises!" Isabelle giggled and clapped her hands.

"This evening," I said putting my arms around her. "I planned something on deck."

"I'm excited!" Isabelle hugged me.

Isabelle Northwood

Lucinda and I still weren't talking after the cleaning incident that morning. At least I had a lovely dinner with Jack to look forward to that evening. I picked the blue dress because it's my favorite and wore my hair down. He said he always liked it like that anyway.

I kept watching myself in the mirror to make sure I looked just right. I could always ask Lucinda. Besides, I probably shouldn't force her to clean her room anyway. I carefully knocked on her door and she immediately opened.

"A little birdie told me that you are going to have dinner with someone," She grinned at me.

"How do I look?" I asked spinning in a circle.

"Gorgeous," Lucinda said hugging me.


During dinner. . .

Captain Jack Sparrow

Isabelle looked beautiful. We were smiling and laughing all evening and she was telling me stories of her childhood. I decided that this was the right moment to give it to her. I held her hand and knelt in front of her.

"Isabelle Charlotte Northwood," I said. "Will you marry me?"


Yes, another cliffhanger. I posted a picture of the ring on my profile. Sorry if this chapter seems short. I have writer's block again

Two chapters left before the sequel. Happy reading!
