CHAPTER 6: TORTUGA
Jack and Elizabeth arrived at Tortuga soaked to the bone and utterly exhausted, but in good spirits. They rented a room at an inn owned by one of Jack's old friends and morning came before they knew it.
"Good morning, darling," said Jack as he placed a tray of steaming hot waffles in front of Elizabeth. Her eyes fluttered open as the smell wafted through the air.
"Good morning yourself," she replied, then seeing the waffles added, "What's all this then?"
"It's breakfast," said Jack pointing out the obvious, "Don't women where you come from eat?" He studied her figure for a moment before saying, "Don't answer that." Elizabeth rolled her eyes. For a man so worldly he knew very little about civilized surprising considering his background.
A question suddenly emerged in Elizabeth's mind. "Jack," she asked warily, "How are we going to pay for these?" she gestured toward the waffles. "I didn't bring any money along and you never had any money to begin with."
Looking slightly hurt by the last statement he said, "Don't worry about it, Love, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." He pulled her close and French kissed her on the mouth leaving her breathless. "You taste like strawberries," he murmured and walked out.
A few hours later he swaggered back in with a big silly grin on his face. "My dear," he said happily, "I have found the perfect ship for us to commandeer."
