Chapter 11
Trish sat waiting on the bed. the door was unlocked but with so many males on board she felt uneasy. Smee knocked gently on the door and slowly eased his way inside. "Here you go lass a bit of fruit and some honey bread to tide you over."
Trish nodded her thanks as Smee backed out of the room. Getting up she looked over the fruit and settled on eating an orange. Peeling it slowly she pulls a small piece of the orange and places it into her mouth. To her amazement its juicy and sweet. Taking the rest of the orange with her she sits down in the chair Hook had slept on.
Up on deck Hook paced back and forth thinking. Why did he sleep in the same room as her. Why was she on his mind. Why did he have this strong desire to not use her to get to Peter. Would she be willing to stay here with him. The final thought running through his mind was how could he get her to want to stay with him.
Taking a deep breath as he spotted Smee he calls out, "Smee clean up your cabin. I'll be staying there you'll be shacking up with the other boys."
"Of course captain," Smee sighs under his breath as he hurrys to straighten his room.
Growing bord Trish rises to her feet. Looking around the bedroom she sighs. Clothing covers most of the floor as well as many odds and ends. Brushing her hair back she slowly begins to tidy up the bedroom.
Time seems to fly by as she keeps herself busy. As it grew dark Smee let himself into the cabin. "Miss the captain wishes for you to accompany him above deck for dinner."
