Chapter Five:
After Jax and Jack got properly acquainted, they proceeded to the newest Swann Residence. Elizabeth showed up at the door, and saw that Jack made a new friend. She was pleased because Jack was going to be working with Jax for a while. What she didn't know, is that they had known each other from the Pearl. Jax had conveniently failed to mention to Elizabeth that she was a pirate, so Elizabeth was wondering why Jack took to her so quickly. He usually doesn't do that unless he's drunk. Pushing that matter aside, Elizabeth called inside the manor for Will. Will had been working especially hard lately, making more swords than usual. The King of England had heard of his craftsmanship from across the ocean, and ordered thirty swords for all of his men. Elizabeth was constantly insisting on him taking a break, but he simply had to finish. Well she wasn't taking no for an answer this time.
"WILLIAM TURNER!" Elizabeth boomed up the stairs, "COME DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" Will got the message. He shot down the steps, and although he was working in soot and ash, he was dressed to kill. Elizabeth instantly melted in his glance. She was sorry she had yelled to him, but the wanted him near her. Plus, they had company.
Jax was feeling warmth, and at the same time lack of breath from Jack's grasp around her torso. Will knew Jax from first glance. He had seen her at the port on the other side of Tortuga with a merchant boat, and knew she was a pirate. Will had stopped to talk to her once, and found out that she had sailed on the Pearl with Cap'n Sparrow. Obviously Jack remembered her, and tried to make her fancy him as he did her. They had a secret, and they weren't about to share it.
"Jax! Come in! I haven't seen you in such a long time. What have you been up to?" Elizabeth began fussing over Jax, and made Will and Jack carry her bags inside. Jax was removing herself from Jack's grasp with much protest from the Cap'n, but they finally proceeded inside with all of her belongings in place.
"Well Elizabeth, I've been sailing with my father's merchant ship, and decorating for all sorts of people. Which reminds me," Jax turned to Jack, "are you truly selling the Black Pearl?"
"No, love. Not selling, SOLD." Jack said with a longing look in his eyes for more of the passion that lingered from their kiss. "The Pearl is gone, but her memories remain. I have another boat, just recently purchased in great need of redecoration! How soon can we start planning?"
"No need to start so soon!" Will jumped in, realizing that Jax wanted some time to "catch up" with Jack. "Tonight is a night for celebration of a new lo-," he stopped himself. Maybe they didn't want their newly kindled love to be revealed yet. "Arrival," Will said, correcting himself.
Suddenly, Jack's eyes lit up. "The tavern perhaps?"
"Yes, well, you two go on ahead," Elizabeth said as she realized what Will had discovered between the two of them. "Will has some swords to finish up, and I have to get your room in order, Jax, but you two have fun!"
Jack was the first out the door, pulling Jax behind him. The tavern was the perfect place to talk, and possibly become "friends" again. He knew that Jax had fallen for him, but who could blame her? Cap'n Sparrow was a strong pirate of great taste. For rum that is. And his red bandanna complemented his outfit just right.
"He's perfect. The way he laughs, the way he stairs at me the way he does," Jax thought. "I've got to make him mine." Maybe it was the rum talking when Jack proposed an Interior Designer to decorate the ship. Because all that was on his mind right now, was Jax. He didn't wasn't her to decorate anything for him. He wanted her to devote her time to him, and they could be together at last. He had something to tell her.
"Jax?" he said, looking deeply at her, "Im sorry for leaving you in Tortuga ten long years ago. Im sorry for not staying around when you rescued me from that island. I was scared of loving you. I was scared of loving anything that could slip through my fingers. Like the Pearl. My only chance for freedom, slipped away without a trace for the longest time. When I got 'er back, I realized how much she meant to me. But something wasn't right. Sure the ship had me original crew, but missing one member. The one member that kept me looking forward to the next day, to see her face. You. ****************************************************************
