Mrow! Thank all of you for the reviews! They made me really happy ^-^ So,
as promised, the seventh chapter in my "intriguing" *ahemOilPastelahem*
story.
But first.
PED-sarah: Yeah, everybody does seem to do that. I'm just uncreative, that's all. Damn brain of mine!
Oil Pastel: My god that was a long review of yours! *gobbles cookies* Thank you for these ^-^! And, in answer to your question, Lizzy was kind of (in my mind, anyway) contemplating whether marrying and staying in Port Royale was really what she wanted. ^. ~ Crazy, eh?
DaydreamBeliever14: I try to, really!
DeppieHellcat(): Aww, thank you for that awesome review! I'm really glad you like this.
And now, on to chapter seven!

I woke the next morning to find my legs wrapped in Jack's, his face in the hair on the back of my head and his arm still around my waist. I was still tired and decided not to do anything for a few minutes; he wouldn't wake up. As soon as I decided that, I felt Jack move slightly behind me. I could sense that grin of his even before he said anything.
"I knew ye'd warm up to me, love," he murmured, taking a sniff of my hair. "Ye smell like strawberries." Suddenly, he was nuzzling the back of my neck, and I rolled over, my back slamming into the wall.
"Sparrow!" I yelled, but my voice broke as I said it. Jack chuckled, sitting up as well, placing one of his hands on the wall next to me. I glared at him, but I couldn't keep it up for long. I was just so. odd! A pirate sharing a bed with another pirate? And a female pirate at that, namely me! I started to laugh and covered my mouth with my hand, falling forward onto him, my hands on his shoulders, from how hard I was now laughing. After a few seconds, he put his hands on my back, kind of holding me.
"Love?" he murmured, and I looked up blurry eyed, still laughing. He looked slightly confused and the kohl around his eyes was smudged, which only made me laugh harder, falling over onto the pillow. Even though I couldn't really see him, I could sense Jack smiling and I heard him chuckle a little, and then settle down on the edge of the bed. I started to calm down and opened my eyes, and found him staring at me. He placed a hand on my hip and rubbed it affectionately.
"I take it you're in a." he paused and put on that cocky grin, "better mood today, love?" He raised one eyebrow suggestively. I chuckled softly and sat up, causing Jack's hand to fall to the bed.
"I suppose you could say that," I said, smiling. Jack's grin spread wider and he leaned on his arm, bringing his face closer to mine.
"So, are ye up for a bit of fun then, Jules, love?" he whispered, bringing a finger up to my chin, tracing it softly. Something ran through me when he touched my face, and I raised an eyebrow at him. Luckily, someone I took to be part of the crew came into the room at that moment.
"Captain Sparrow, sir, there's a ship off the port bow," he grumbled, like he couldn't really care less. Jack practically jumped off the bed and stalked out of the room. The grubby crew man shot me a look filled with curiosity but followed Jack out. I stood up and walked over to the window, rubbing my eyes. I sat down on a cushion and stared out at the sea. I saw the ship and started to laugh again. It was mine!
I fell off the cushion onto the floor, clutching my stomach from all the laughing I'd already done that morning. I heard someone come in the room and I tried to contain myself, and only managed to sit up and open my eyes. It was Will and he was staring down at me curiously.
"Do you know anything about that ship out there?" he asked. I nodded, blinking back tears from the laughter. He placed his hands on his hips, which was so darn feminine that it was all I could to get out my answer.
"That'd be my ship ye'r so scared of," I managed to get out and I held my breath to try and stop laughing. Will shook his head and left. Holding my breath had worked for the most part and I sat on the floor, catching my breath, when Jack came back in.
"That's your ship? What the hell is it doin' sittin' there in the middle o' the day? Ye tryin' to get us captured?" He looked really irritated, so I put on my best innocent face and started to speak.
"Yes, that be my ship, Jack. And yer the one 'oo didn't ask me last nigh' if I had me own ship, even though I flat out told ye! And no way would I want ye captured, that's just plain wrong, ye know," I said, my voice breaking in a few places. I hated having to think so much after I had just woken up, much less talk. I kept my gaze on his face steady.
"Well, ye know we're gonna have t' get rid of it, love," he said, his voice low, the kohl still smudged 'round his eyes. I blinked at him, and looked out the window, smiling.
"Ye know somethin', Jack? I wouldn' mind tha' one bit." He smiled at me, a little nervously, which looked odd upon his features. That smile didn't belong there.
"Are ye sure now? There'll be no gettin' it back, love," he murmured. I stared at him, trying to figure out why he looked so nervous. He shoved his hands into the pockets of the coat he'd put on when he'd dashed out of the room before. I nodded and he swaggered out of the room, pulling out a bottle of rum and taking a swig. I still felt enormously tired, so I crawled back into the bed and fell asleep.

Aye, I know, that chapter sucked. A lot. But I wrote most of it when I'd had a couple glasses of Code Red, so that's probably why Jules was all.. hyper, and such. So, like always, R&R, and IM me at blueskittles13 if you wish ^-^
