~*~ And Now, Another One! ~*~ Or ~*~ Und Jetzt, Anderer Eins! ~*~
I woke from the sound of Cherish pounding on me door. She was saying something, but the throbbing of me head blocked her voice out. I slowly rose in me bed, keeping me eyes closed tightly. Oh, that bloody rum certainly did the trick.
The rum! Oh, sweet moon, how much did I have last night? Last night! How late was it when I'd gotten back?
I slowly stood up and walked over to me desk. I picked up me night robe, put it on and made me slow way towards the door. When I opened it I was confronted by Cherish's shocked face. But the look of shock was quickly replaced with anger.
" Why in bloody hell did you come home so late last night? And why do you smell like you're drunk?" All of her yelling was making me feel like me head was about to split in half. Did I really smell like rum? Oh, well. I can't say I didn't expect this from her. I started walking toward the bathroom, but she kept on yelling.
" You will not be going anywhere for a very long time, young lady! Not until you start acting like a lady should! Oh, if your father were alive-"
" But he isn't! He is dead, so you can stop bringing it up! You know that if he were alive, he wouldn't have cared in the slightest that I had been having fun! Even if I was drinking! So if you wouldn't mind, Charish, back the hell off!"
I stomped off to the bathroom, slamming the door and locking it. It had been a very long time since my temper had gotten the better of me. And slamming the door didn't really help ease the pain shooting through me head at the moment.
I filled the tub with hot water from over the small hearth and got in. Long baths always calmed me down when I was really angry. I lay there in the steaming water for a while, just thinking. What would Charish have to say after I went down stairs? Would she threaten to kick me out like last time? Or would she actually kick me out?
I shook me head, clearing me thoughts. Then I took a breath and went under, letting the hot water weave through me hair. I came back up and started washing up. I scrubbed as if I was trying to wash away the past day. As if I wouldn't have to face anyone today. Just stay in me room, and not worry about anything.or anyone.
I was torn from me thoughts when I heard a quiet tap on the door. I just sighed and went under again. While under water I heard Cherish saying something but wasn't sure what. I surfaced only when I didn't hear her voice anymore.
Soon, I got out and dried meself off. I quietly walked into me room and put on some actual clothes. Non of those damned dresses, but soft suede pants tucked into light brown leather boots and a dark blue shirt. The sleeves went to the middle of me fingers, and I wore bands of leather and strings of beads around me wrists.
I let me hair hang down around me face. It would dry and be straight and pale brown just the way I liked it to be. I couldn't stand having to wear it up. That was one of the plus sides to dressing the way I please. I don't have to cut of me circulation with those damned corsets, and I don't have to put on a bunch of powder and stuff.
When it came to make up, I only paid attention to me eyes. I'd put a small line of coal under me eyes, and smoky powder on me eyelids. I wouldn't have to put anything on me lips, cause I have a habit of biting me lips, so they are always a flush red.
After raking a brush through me still damp hair, I went down stairs to face what I had coming from me step mum. I turned the corner into the living room and saw Jack sitting on our couch. In an arm chair across from him was Will and next to him was Cherish. What in bloody hell were they doing here? And why hadn't she told me they were here?
" You sure do take your time, luv." Jack winked, but I just shrugged it off.
" Why didn't you tell me that they were here?" But me step mum just rolled her eyes. Did she think I was kidding?
" I told you while you were in the tub. Or had you been trying to drown yourself while I was talking through the door?" Very bloody funny, but if I had been trying to drown meself, it would have been to stop hearing your annoying voice. I glared at her.
Will, sensing the tension, decided to speak up.
" Well, Sarah, we came here to talk to you about something really important. So, Mrs. Phillips, if you'd excuse us." Cherish got up and stalked out of the room as I continued to glare at her.
" Sarah, you can sit down now." I sat on the opposite end of the couch. " I'm guessing that you two had a bad morning?"
" Oh, how perceptive! What did you two want to talk about?" Jack was laughing at the insult towards Will, but I didn't pay any attention.
" Jack is going to be leaving in a week, and as you know, Elizabeth and I are getting married in two days. But that's not what we're here to talk about. Jack had the idea for Elizabeth and I to go along with him when he leaves, and Elizabeth thought it would be a great idea if you came along as well."
I sat there completely speechless. If I went with them, that would mean that I could finally live the life that my father told me about. I could finally live the life that we would have shared together. Just the two of us, sailing freely without a care in the world. It was the one promise that he didn't keep, and the one that I'd looked forward to the most.
A lone tear ran down me cheek, but I wiped it away for no one to see. The tears I've cried for me father have long since dried up.
" I'd love to."
" Good, then as long as it's okay with Cherish, I'd so no reason why you couldn't." I closed me eyes and clenched me teeth. She wouldn't care if I left for the rest of me life, she'd just be happy to be rid of me.
" It will be fine with her. She'll be glad to get rid of me." Will gave me a sympathetic look. He knew what I felt like, I'd confided in him many times, especially when my father had died. He knew all about how severe me and Cherish's fights could get.
" Well, it's lovely to know that you're coming, luv. What say you to joining in our tour of Port Royal? Will decided to show me around, seeing as I've only seen the prison and the pub here." Jack grinned at me and I just laughed.
" Fine, let's go then. Cherish, I'm goin' out!"
We left the house and started to show Jack our favorite places to go. Through out the 'tour' Jack had his arm around me waist. He loved it that there was more than one pub, but was really amazed when he saw the church.
" I didn't know there was a church in this town."
Will and I rolled our eyes. " Why wouldn't there be one? Every town has a church, Jack." Will informed him. He wasn't entirely right, though. I've heard of towns that don't have a church. Some don't see the need for one.
" That is where you're wrong, mate. What about Tortuga?" Jack looked thoroughly impressed with himself.
" Yeah, Will! And you're wrong yet again!" I love making him feel stupid. It's so bloody fun!
After our session of Will bashing, we showed Jack the shops and where they have the weekend market in the Town Square.
When we were tired of showing Jack places that no one cared much about, we all got something to eat at an inn.
" So, Will, what is your plan for tonight?"
" I'm going to be staying at Elizabeth's again. They have a spare bedroom that I use and I'm thinking about staying the rest of the week. The governor doesn't seem to mind my company." Poor governor.
" So I take it that Jack is still staying at your house then?"
" That's right, luv. And your welcome to come visit me anytime you'd like." Jack winked at me, with a grin. I wonder if he remembers last night when he kissed me.
" Oh, I'll get right on top of that." I rolled me eyes at him.
The sun had already started going down and the sky was now a pool of red and orange clouds, spilling out from the horizon. The ocean glistened and sparkled under the faint light from the defeated sun. And the Black Pearl welcomed the darkness of the coming night, as it stayed anchored in the harbor, silhouetted against the glowing horizon.
We all walked towards Elizabeth's house to drop off Will. I wasn't in any hurry to get home, so I said that I'd come along. When we reached her house, we both said goodbye to Will.
Then it was just Jack and I walking together, just as we had the previous night. He still had his arm around me waist, and he still swayed his hips when he walked. We were pretty silent on our way to Will's house.
When we finally reached Will's, I followed Jack inside.
" Jack, I've been wondering.did you really mean to kiss me last night?" Jack looked at me. He reached out and traced my jaw line with his fingers. I shuddered at his touch, closing me eyes.
Jack stepped toward me and whispered into me ear, " What, like this?" Our lips grazed each other's slightly before he gently kissed me. This time, I didn't hesitate for even a second before I had parted me lips, letting his tongue sweep past mine. It was just as the last kiss had been, except this time he didn't taste of rum so much.
We slowly broke away and Jack rested his forehead against mine.
" Yeah," I whispered," like that."
Jack turned away and sat down on the couch. He motioned for me to come over, so I slowly walked towards him and sat down. He gently stroked a piece of hair out of me face and said, " Who wouldn't want to kiss some one like you? I mean, not that I wouldn't mind doin' a wee bit more with ye." Jack grinned at me rather evilly.
I just rolled me eyes at him and looked the other way. Really, just how easy does he think that I am?
" I saw ye cryin' earlier. After Will asked ye to come with us. What was that ye was thinkin' bout, luv?" He had seen me crying? I hate it when people see me cry. It's a sign of weakness, and the last thing I wanted was to be considered weak. I was always taught to be strong, both emotionally and physically.
" I was thinking about my father and how the one promise that he made me was that me and him would have a life on the sea, just sailing on forever. Never looking back, and being as free as birds. Just him and me. It was the only promise he ever made that never came true. He died before we got a chance." I smiled slightly at Jack, who looked at me caringly.
" Well, it looks to me that he will be keepin' his promise after all, luv. Just addin' a few more people in. But the more the merrier, I always say."
Jack leaned in and kissed me lightly on the neck and I rested me head against his shoulder. I thought about everything that had been happening and about how everything had changed so quickly ever since I met Jack. His presence alone seemed enough to make me feel warm and completely safe. I liked that. The last time that I'd felt like that around anyone was when I would go sailing with my father.
I was nice to feel safe again. Even if it was with someone that I'd only met yesterday.
Slowly, I felt me eyes drift closed and I fell into a peaceful sleep in Jack's protecting presence.
