Have decided to alternate upload dates with this and There All Along so that will be up tomorrow and then K of this will be up on Saturday. Breakaway chapter 3 will also be uploaded tomorrow :)
J is for… Jack
How long had she been on the island now? Five days? A week? She didn't even know anymore. The days were all the same; she would wake up and get a drink, spend some time thinking about Jack, take a walk around the island and then a swim around it, get another drink, take another walk and take a final swim in the evening before going back to sleep. She stood now to go for her first walk of the day and then took her swim. She had always been a strong swimmer, but she had improved a lot by taking these regular swims twice a day. It was something to pass the time.
She also spent a lot of time ship-spotting, imagining the different adventures various ships could be having. Of course, none of the ships were the one she wanted most to see. The black sails never appeared.
As she surfaced from her swim and stepped back onto the sand, she turned around and gasped, eyes wide. She blinked hard to make sure she wasn't imagining it but when she opened them it was really there, just on the horizon. The Black Pearl. She smiled. If it was coming back for her, it would reach her shortly after noon.
Indeed, throughout that morning it came closer. She strained her eyes as it got nearer, smiling as she saw Jack standing tall, and handsome, upon the mast, staring out into the distance. Then he climbed down and a longboat was lowered. Jack climbed into it and began to row to the island. Angelica had dried off in the sun by now, and she stood as Jack got out of the longboat and onto the sand. He walked purposefully towards her, his eyes determined, and, without saying a word, he grabbed her and pulled her close, swiftly bending his head and closing the gap so that his lips met hers. She kissed him back, her hands reaching up to tangle themselves in his hair in an attempt to draw him closer. After what seemed like an eternity, he pulled away but Angelica, having been dreaming about this moment for days, pulled him back. Eventually he pulled away again and she reluctantly let him.
"Hello, love." He grinned.
