Chapter Four:
Sailing into Tortuga for the first time in what seemed like ages, was a shock to Jax. No doubt she was anxious to see Elizabeth and Will, but she was more anxious to see her home town. Boy how it had changed.
The taverns were as full as ever, but the streets were filled with merchants. When Jax grew up there, the merchants were scared to even set up shop in the street because of all the pirate thieves stealing right and left. But who could blame them? The town drunk was still lurking around somewhere and the buzz about the street was the usual gossip stories being passed around, slightly changing each time they were told. Trudging up to the newest Swann residence, Jax felt a sudden chill running up her spine. He was getting close. She could smell the rum. Suddenly the front door opened. Out stepped Jack. *****************************************************************
Jack was in awe. No one bothered to tell Jack that the interior designer that Elizabeth hired was an old pirate from the Pearl. "What a horrible job," Jack thought to himself, "Why would anyone want to do that?" he paused "Well, I wanted to hire someone to design, and how do I do that without having someone occupy that job?"
"That's interesting," Jack chuckled, "Sometimes, my good looks dominate over my brain power."
"What good looks?" Jax said aloud. Jack didn't know that he had said that out loud. His cheeks flushed a red color. Very unusual for a pirate, especially Jack.
Ignoring Jax's remarks about his looks, Jack continued to study her carefully. "Well, seems to be the same Jax I knew before, but something is different about her." Jack pondered the possibilities. "Same hair, same clothes," Jack suddenly realized his thought. "No, no, no, no, same STYLE of clothes, im sure she's changed them in the tem years that I've seen her, at least I HOPE she has," Jack thought reassuringly. *****************************************************************
Meanwhile, Jax was wondering why Jack was staring at her. Immediately she had a thought. "Is my fly unzipped? Do I have something in my teeth? WHAT??" Jax felt very uneasy just standing there, so she broke the silence once more.
"Captain Jack Sparrow! Why don't you just take a picture? It lasts longer!"
Jack immediately realized what he was doing. Staring at a vision of loveliness. But of course he wasn't about to admit that. He was a pirate after all. He hadn't seen Jax in ten years, and he'd fancied her then as well.
"Sorry, love," he said as pulled his eyes away. "I haven't seen you in such a long time. You surprised me, 'tis all." Suddenly he felt an urge to kiss her, and kiss her hard. He flung his arms out, and before he knew what he was doing, rushed to Jax's side. She realized what was about to happen and embraced it right away. She kissed him in such a way that he was speechless after the finished, which seldom happens to Jack. He was planning to kiss her, and he wasn't expecting the kind of passion that they shared. All at once, they fell in love. Again. ******************************************************************
