-Rum xxoo

Their stay at Tortuga was short lived. As the sun rose the next morning, they were away to their new heading of Cuba. With the hot rays beating down upon them, the crew were about doing their daily chores set before them by Jack as Angelica did the usual stand around and wait tiresomely for some action.

Usually Angelica could bide her time looking out onto the water but somehow it wasn't enough. There was nothing to do, and no one to talk to that didn't have another agenda hidden behind their words. Entertaining herself deemed to be a struggle as the day dragged on as slow as it possibly could.

Angelica again looked out from the tip of the ship at the water slashing up against the wood. The heavy breeze whipped her hair about as the sun beamed warmly down against her shoulders. How she would kill to have another woman that wasn't dense to talk too. She had heard about the new pirate 'Queen' a long while ago in shipwreck cove, but she had always thought it was a joke until she saw her face to face. Not very often was a meeting with the brethren court a result of a new pirate king or queen. Last time she attended one it was just a bunch of crazy men yelling at each other. There had defiantly been some changes, considering a new leader, a women to be precise, was chosen.

She was glad that she was the new queen. This woman had a brain and a good one at that.

Angelica rubbed her temples as the thoughts in her mind fizzled away. "I probably should have asked Elizabeth for help instead of Jack...". She looked over her shoulder and up to the helm where jack stood. He had his hands on the wheel with a bottle of rum dangling between his fingers.

Before they left jack had made sure that the crew had gathered a decent supply of rum and loaded it all onto the ship. If Angelica hadn't spoken out then the ship would be full the the brim with rum.

She sighed deeply while turning her body around to face the helm, leaning her back against the railing with her elbows bent resting beside her. Angelica watched the crew sweep the deck and lazily stand around slowly completing their days work. She took a gander over at the new faces in the crew as they stood in a group by a bronzed cannon. Angelica squinted naughty as an idea to pass the time and a way to pick at jack popped into her head.

These new men would be perfect to play around with and seemed right and ready for the messing with. She smirked softly and made her way down to their little group, making sure jack was looking. It was always fun to make jack jealous because he always freaked out about it. Jack was also always one to become very jealous over anything, especially when she flirted with other men. It was as if she was still sum what 'his woman', not that she has his to start with.

Angelica listened as the mummers of their conversation became louder as she drew nearer. She swung her hips more than usual as the eyes of them men in the group began to glue themselves to her body.

She leaned her back against the railing near the cannon and pushed out her bust, making her collar bones stick out and her breasts as well. Their conversation stopped as they all eyed her up and down slightly confused at why she was near them. Angelica smiled sweetly while they looked at one another wide eyed.

"Something wrong?...". She crooked her head to the side as she watched them almost choke on their own tongues. The unlucky man in the middle was nudged harshly and began to spit out his words with a studded. "Er... No miss we were just er... Getting back to work...". The little group awkwardly tried to disperse before Angelica spoke again.

"Aww why... I just want someone to talk to...". She stepped towards them rolling her shoulders forward leaning her hands on the cannon giving them all a good glimpse of her cleavage. They all began to stop and scuttle their way back as Angelica continued. "I'm sure the captain won't notice that the five of your are gone for a little while...". She smiled sweetly and let her ringlet hair fall over her shoulder.

Angelica's mind was in a fit of laughter. The sate of these men was hilarious. How she could simply twist her hips and push out her chest and they would fall to her knees. She moved her eyes up to jack who was still at the helm but obviously had an eye on her and the men in the group. She bit her lip and looked back to the men that were nearly drooling. Angelica searched through her thoughts until she knew what to do. She knew what to do to make jack jump.

Angelica let out another smirk as she moved closer to the middle man. She put on sad face and pouted her lips. "It gets lonely on a ship sometimes... And I was wondering if I could have some company...". She smirked naughtily and placed a hand on his arm. He studded nervously as a loud whistle from behind made the group of men jump.

"Back to work all of ya now!". They all stumbled away as fast as they could knowing that they had angered their captain. She let out a slight chuckle as jack now stood in front of her with a frown. "Yes captain? Can I help you?...". Angelica smiled up at him as he turned to the side. "Follow me, now...". He said dryly as they both made their way up and to the captains quarters, Angelica smiling the whole way as her side quest had been achieved.

Jack shut the door behind her and walked over to the table as Angelica leaned on the wall smiling smugly. He threw of his coat and turned to her smiling face. "What was that?". Jack asked sternly as Angelica couldn't help but chuckle. "What was what?". Jack frowned. "T-that!". He pointed to the door as Angelica shrugged. "That-that display out there, what the hell was that all about?". She smiled to her self moving off from the wall.

"What? The 'flirting' you mean?". Angelica walked slowly over to him doing the same walk she did to the crew. Jack awkwardly eyed her up and down as he answered. "Y-yes... And there shall be no more of the sort on my ship". He studded slightly as she walked right up to him looking innocently into his eyes.

He cleared is throat and shook his head, stepping away from the table and her. Angelica smiled to herself. Time to play around with jack. She turned around on the spot and watched jack pace around the cabin finger to his chin. "I don't know why this is bothering you...". Angelica lent back against the table pushing out her chest once again.

"It's not like we are together... And mind you I can flirt with whoever I choose.". She watched him continue to pace. "It seems to me that you're... Jealous...". Just as that word rolled of her Spanish tongue jack flew over to her with his finger pointing.

"I am bloody NOT jealous...". His eyebrows were raised and as he stood practically over her. Angelica just smiled and moved her head up and close to his making jacks frown disappear. "Yes your are...". She whispered sweetly as he looked brainlessly down at her. Angelica lifted up her hands and placed them on his chest, turning them both around so jack was the one leaning against the table. She kept her hands on his chest and moved them to the part in his shirt and to his skin.

"You know... I was just thinking about us and how we are alone...". Angelica turned her head to the side as she ran her fingers down his showing skin feeling is heart beat out of his chest. "And how I am quite in the mood...". Angelica looked into his eyes as he dropped open his mouth to speak but shut it again twitching his nose. "But...". She let her hands fall low and brushed over his lower abdomen still keeping her eyes to his. Jack slightly rolled eyes back into his head as she leaned closer to his skin, touching his flustered cheek with her lips.

"Seeing as there is to be no... Flirting... We cannot...". Angelica pushed herself off from jack and made her way to the door. She smiled as jack stuttered after her. "W-wait wait! Angie we can just, look over that and-". Jack stumbled his way over, desperately trying to convince her. "And you know, that only goes for the crew, as we, we are superior and-". Angelica spun around cutting him off. "A truly great and fair captain must obey the rules he sets for his crew...". She smiled nicely as jacks face was covered with regret. Angelica chuckled and made her way to the door. Just as she was out there was a loud bang followed by cursing from jack.

"Bugger, F- damit!". She looked over her shoulder to find jack hopping on one leg holding his foot. "Argh!". Angelica laughed in response before walking completely out of the cabin. "Gullible fool...".

Jack held his foot which he had kicked hard into the leg of the table. "Damit!". He groaned loudly placing his foot softly onto the floor. He looked over at the table, snatching his coat off from it. "Stupid table...". Jack almost wanted to boot it again just for hurting his foot. He was so close to being able to spend some good quality time with her, but like always she found something to put against him as the reason why they shouldn't.

"Dam woman...". Jack slipped on his coat as he reimagined her flirting with the other men in the crew. He screwed up his nose at the thought. Jack felt that annoying itchy feeling he felt before. Seeing her smile around other men irritated jack like nothing else. Not that he was jealous no no, jack would never be jealous of another man even if he is capturing the attention of Angelica that should be rightfully his. Jack groaned again and picked up a bottle off from the table and made his way out of the cabin. Besides he knew Angelica couldn't possible fall for another man as there was no one that could out match him. Jack pushed himself out the door leaving it open.

Though it seemed as if she had done all that just to mess with him. He walked back to the helm where he belonged still quite lost in thought. She did that from time to time, as if it was a game to see how far she can push him around. A cruel game that often lead to false pretenses. Jack scanned his eyes over the empty deck.

While jack was gone the crew took the time to escape their duties and retreat to the brig. He rolled his eyes and groaned again. He glanced down to the little table which had a map sprawled across it. Considering that Barbossa had his compass, jack had to resort back to maps again. He moved his eyes along the lines of latitude and longitude making sure he was on track. Jack had been so reliant on his compass the last ten or so years he had forgotten how time consuming map reading was.

He lifted up his hand and pressed the bottle to his lips, cranking his head back. He held it up waiting for the rum to burn down his throat, but nothing came. "Why is the bloody rum always gone...". He threw the bottle away and made his way down the stairs. Jack strode girlishly over to the brig and down more stairs. He dodged through the lantern lit pillars and to the many kegs and wall of rum. Jack plucked a few off the wall tucking them under his arms as the loud yell of many men caught his attention. He looked back finding his slacking off crew placing wagers over two men sculling down bottle after bottle of rum.

He watched as one of the men threw his head forward finishing his bottle before the other. The crew hoorayed as the winner beckoned for another to verse him. Jack smiled and couldn't help but accept the offer, even if his crew were supposed to be working.

Jack walked over to the loud group of men around a table as they all suddenly stopped their rejoice. They awkwardly shuffled in their seats as jack dropped a bag of gold coins onto the table. "I'd like to place a bet on me self... To win...". Jack smiled as he placed down the four bottles he held and the crew all beamed back.
