Thank you so much to the people who reviewed! I swear it makes my day! I
checked the reviews like every 5 minutes hehe. Ok guys, thank you for
being so supportive so far (BTW penguinflavoredfilm I left a review about
the whole jack the monkey thing after the credits) pretty sad I reviewed my
own story, lol but if anyone's interested, there's a scene if you wait the
whole credits (they're really long) there's a new scene thing, and it
scared me to death! Lol more details in that review, if you're interested,
or just see it again and wait the whole credits to be surprised.

As Will trudged into the house, he realized he was wearier than he thought he was. He had stayed almost two hours longer than usual and had worked almost nonstop the entire time. Long ago had he lost the tie that kept back his hair so it was hanging in his face. His arms, face and clothes were covered in ash from the fire and as he trudged up the steps, his leg muscles screamed in protest.
He walked into the polished foyer and glanced around. There was a dim light in the study so he figured the Governor was there, but he didn't see any sign of Elizabeth. Needing her relaxing presence, he walked up the winding staircase to the rooms above. Elizabeth's door was slightly ajar so he pushed it open noiselessly.
Her back was to the door and she was running a brush through her long blonde locks. Will detected a slight sound and he realized she was singing softly.
Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me....
He leaned against the frame of the door and listened, captivated by her beautiful voice.
"You know angel, tis bad luck to sing of pirates." Will spoke up, imitating Gibbs.
"Will! You're back!" Elizabeth ran to him and threw her arms around him. Will stumbled a bit and laughed as her hugged her back.
"I missed you too!" Will said as he gave her a loving kiss. But then he stopped grinning and a guilty look crossed his face.
"Elizabeth, I'm so sorry we didn't have our date as we planned. With my new boss," Will's eye's narrowed as he thought of all the hell Norrington had put him through that day. "I couldn't take a break and leave early." He hung his head as he remembered how excited she had been that morning when he had promised their date.
Elizabeth gazed in shock at the man in her arms. Had he seriously thought that she would be angry? After having a man like the Commodore take over as his boss? She looked over Will's sooty appearance and how he was obviously exhausted. Elizabeth felt a surge of anger at the Commodore, and a rush of love for Will.
Will took her silence as bad instead of shocked and began a stream of tender words, apologizing and asking for her forgiveness.
"Will!" Elizabeth put her hand on his cheek, immediately stopping the flow of words. "Will, of course I'm not angry! I was just shocked that you would even think that I would hold you to that promise. I saw how Commodore Norrington treated you, and that was with me there! I can't even begin to think about what it would be like after I left. I can see how tired you are." Elizabeth smoothed back that hair from his face.
Will couldn't hold himself back and claimed her lips with his own, kissing her with a fervor he'd never felt before. Just as he was starting to lose oxygen a voice spoke, a voice Will had hoped to forget for the night. For the second time that day, he broke off his kiss with Elizabeth to face the sneering face of Commodore Norrington.
"This is happening way too often." The Commodore spoke under his breath. A wave of jealously had flashed over him when he saw the embrace that had been happening before he interrupted.
"Commodore Norrington!" Elizabeth spoke shocked at his sudden appearance. "What are you doing here?"
He smiled at Elizabeth. "I have to speak with your father about something, so I asked him if I could please go say hello to his beautiful daughter." Totally ignoring Will's presence he gallantly picked up her hand and planted a kiss on it.
Elizabeth yanked her hand back. When Will called her beautiful, she could tell he meant it from the bottom of his heart. When the Commodore called her beautiful she could see right through his lies. He might think she was pretty, but he only saw skin-deep. Will could look inside her soul and still call her beautiful.
Will was glaring at the Commodore with a look of hate in his eyes.
"You will please maintain your distance, sir." Elizabeth spoke with disgust evident in her voice.
"Oh Elizabeth, I really feel we have gotten on to a first name basis. I would like nothing else but for you to call me John."
It was all too much for Will. "She asked for you to keep your distance! And you will." Will spoke up, anger evident in his tone of voice.
Eying Will's tall, lithe figure and the muscle in his arms, the Commodore wisely backed off and changed back into the cool, collected official. "Well Elizabeth, I have to speak with your father. I'll talk with you later." With a nod at the unmoving pair, he turned and strode down the hallways out of site.
Elizabeth looked at the angry glare in Will's eyes and she sighed as she realized what a long day he must have had had. "Will," She put her hand on his shoulder. "It's late, we should go to bed, I know you're exhausted."
"Yeah, I guess you're right Liz. I just hate seeing him treat you like that!"
"Will Turner I do believe you're jealous." She said, humor glinting in her eyes.
"Damn right I am!" Then he blushed. "I'm sorry Elizabeth; I think all the language is from Jack."
Elizabeth smiled up at him. "Captain Jack, Will." She reminded him as she gave him a kiss goodnight.
"I'm sorry, CAPTAIN Jack." He laughed, his foul mood clearing up. With another quick kiss he said goodnight and left for his room.

The Commodore walked calmly down the stairs and into the Governor's office.
"You wished to see me Governor?"
"Yes Commodore, I wish to speak with you about your proposal. I am hoping of course, that you will not result to anything that will hurt Elizabeth very much."
"Governor! I would never want to hurt Elizabeth. I merely stated IF they had an unexpected breakup." The Commodore began.
"I see...." Flashing the Commodore an unconvinced look, he beckoned the exit.
"Very well then, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yes, tomorrow," The Governor nodded absently. He was slightly worried about what the Commodore planned to do, but then he pictured Elizabeth asleep in Will's arms and tightened his jaw. He walked up the steps to his room and peeked into Will's room. The blacksmith was fast asleep, alone, the Governor noticed with a certain amount of relief. He walked into his own room and was sound asleep within minutes.

OK guys sry I'm getting a little silly, its after midnight and I've been typing for an hour, this chapter was giving me some trouble but I think I got through most of it. As for Will not eating.. Lets pretend he secretly has a stash of cookies or something at the blacksmiths hehe Ok guys! Over and out!
