A Little Place

I couldn't find Jack in town, so, after around an hour and a half of searching, I went back to the Pearl, waiting for Jack in his cabin. It was a good hour before he returned, laden with bags and boxes. I frowned.

"Jack, what have ye bought?" He grinned.

"Only a bit, love. Now, come here and help me before I drop 'em." I did as I was told, rushing to Jack's aid and relieving him of a few boxes. All ended dropped on the bed, Jack looking at them. He pointed to a small white box.

"Shoes." The next box was bigger and pink.

"Dress." I groaned, yet, he continued grinning. The next box was smaller than the shoe box.

"Accessories and the such." Then he motioned to the others.

"Everything else, make up, jewellery, ye get the idea." I nodded, still frowning. He turned to leave, but I caught his arm.

"I got something for ye, too." He spun around.

"Where did ye get the money?" I laughed, shaking my head.

"I…" Jack cut me off.

"Ye stole it!" He exclaimed proudly. I laughed more.

"Jack, I am not a thief. I was given it by a woman, she was very nice." I said, whilst rushing to the desk to find the wrapped book. I found it and, grinning, passed it to Jack, who looked at it curiously.

"Open it!" I instructed. He did so, his mouth dropping open. He flicked through the pages, tracing an outline with his finger. Suddenly he looked up at me, smiling.

"Thank ye, Violet." He said and walked over to me, giving me a soft kiss on the lips. I blushed. I rather liked the way my name rolled off his tongue.

"Now, get changed, do yer hair and come out." He said, turning from me and sauntering out of the cabin. I sighed happily, looking to the boxes. Reality came tumbling back down.

"Right, a dress…" I muttered, pulling over the pink box and, with my eyes squeezed tightly shut, lifted the lid off. I opened my eyes reluctantly, worried of what lay before them, although, my mouth dropped open, much as Jack's had. The dress was dark blue, with light blue lace and beads. It was gorgeous. I eagerly pulled over the shoes, ripping the lid off and pulling out a pair of matching shoes, my size exactly. Now more excited than worried, I hurried to open the other boxes and bags, finding beautiful hair pins and a small silver necklace, as well as some hoop earrings and a small wrist chain.

"Thank you, Jack." I whispered, before pulling the dress on, struggling to tie the corset and slipping on the shoes, finally looking at myself in the mirror. I smiled, grabbing a small bag of make up Jack had bought, applying it before looking in the mirror. I wasn't used to wearing make up, only the occasional bout of kohl to stop the sun getting in my eyes. Now, however, I had on eye shadow, kohl, mascara, lip stick and rouge. And I looked amazing, even if I do say so myself. I slipped on the bracelet, necklace and earrings, examining myself. I pulled the corset as tight as it would go before sorting out my hair, putting it in a messy but classy bun and securing it with a pretty hair piece Jack had bought.

"Perfect." I said to myself, just as Jack knocked on the door.

"Ready." I called, hearing the door open. I turned to Jack, smiling at his face.

"Yer an absolute stunner."

"Thanks." I said, blushing. Jack shrugged, taking my hand and pulling me out onto the deck. The crew cheered, many of them coming over and kissing me on the cheek, whilst Jack stood, looking jealous. Suddenly, all of them backed off. I smirked, spinning around to Jack, just in time to see his finger slide across his neck before he hastily dropped his hand back to his side when he noticed me looking. He smiled sheepishly.

"Come on, pirate." I said, laughing slightly, letting his take my hand again and lead me from the ship.

"So, where we going?" I asked. Jack gave me a lopsided grin.

"Jus' a little place I once took Will and Elizabeth. I asked 'em if they wan'ed to come with but Elizabeth gave me a gobful and stormed down to the kitchen. Bloody female, eating all our supplies. The apples have nearly all gone already. Now she's 'craving mango' or so Will says. Haven't really listened to her much lately, normally all I get is a mouthful of what for and then a slap..." He said, leading me up the street, people moving aside for us. I laughed.

"Are people that scared of you?" Jack smirked.

"Nah, they're moving aside fer ye, love." He whispered. I laughed quietly as Jack pointed to a small door.

"That's where we are going, first anyway." He said, quickening our pace until we were standing at the wooden door. He knocked three times, letting go of my hands and covering my eyes. I laughed, letting Jack guide me through the door, which was now open. He sat me down.

"Keep your eyes closed." He whispered, uncovering my eyes, though, I kept them closed quite happily. I heard Jack take a seat opposite me.

"Now, open yer eyes." He said. I smiled, opening my eyes.

"Oh my…" I shook my head in disbelief. I was sat in front of a large table, a plate of gorgeous food in front of me. Jack had lit three candles, smiling at me from the other side of the table, pouring me some wine. I smiled as he passed it to me.

"Thanks." I sipped some, watching Jack pull out a bottle of rum for himself. I giggled.

"So, ye like it, love?" I nodded.

"It's wonderful, Jack." Jack grinned, pleased with himself.

"Well, eat up, love. Wouldn't want ye getting' all scrawny." He said, with an odd hand movement. I nodded, pretending to salute him.

"Yes, Captain." I laughed, taking my knife and fork and cutting into a tender piece of chicken. I heard a noise from Jack and, upon looking up, noticed the way he was eating.

"You eat like a savage." I said, smiling. He shrugged, taking another bite from a chicken leg before waving it in the air.

"Pirate, love, what d'ye expect?" He said, his mouth full. I laughed.

"You've truly outdone yourself, Jack. I never thought I could be so charmed by some one with so few manners." I said, watching his face. He looked confused. I laughed, waving my hand.

"Oh, don't worry, it's a good thing." I insisted. "It's an extraordinary thing, but still a good thing."
