"Oh my sweet heavens, it's you!" Riley exclaimed with wide eyes and month hung open. Just to look at her you would think you was a nut case.
Riley was completely dumbstruck. What she had done to deserved this face to face encounter with her idol was far beyond her logic. She had spent many days daydreaming about meeting the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow, but never once thought in her wildest dreams that it would ever come true. She would definitely be thanking her lucky stars tonight, that she was sure of.
Jack sat there staring at this girl who seemed to have gone off the deep end. Wearing a peasant type top and a long skirt that looked the same with a old looking pair of black boots, she wasn't exactly bad to look at he'd admit, but the way she stood there gawking at him started to make him feel a bit on edge. He searched his head for something to say to the girl who, after 3 minutes or so, was still staring at him. Unable to think of anything else, Jack spoke the first thing that came to mind.
"So....you've heard of me then?" he asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Are you kidding me, surely everyone has heard of you, you're Captain Jack Sparrow!" Riley replied despite her stage of giddiness.
Suddenly forgetting his earlier nervousness, Jack resumed his usual ways and gave one of his famous grin.
"Why don't ye take a seat love." he offered.
"Really?" she asked with her wide eyes getting wider.
"Of course, after all, tis always nice ta meet a admirer." he replied while pulling out a seat for her.
"Thank you."
"No problem love. So tell me, what exactly have ye heard of me?"
"Oh just about everything Mr. Sparrow, I mean Captain Sparrow," she corrected herself. "from your friendship with Mr. Bootstrap Bill, how your crew double-crossed you and marooned you on a god forsaken island and left you for dead, all lead by your own first mate may I add, how you got off the island by roping together a couple of sea turtles with human hair from your own back, which is my favorite story of all, and then you helped a Mr. Will Turner rescue his love, a Mrs. Elizabeth Swann from, ironically enough from your old crew, and just about everything in between!" Riley gasped when she was done for she had said all of that in nearly one breath.
Jack looked impressively at the girl. He was more than honored to say the least. You could easily tell that by looking at his proud smile.
"That's quite impressive, Ms...."
"Materson, Riley Masterson. And it's nothing really, I mean, you're quite an interesting to person to learn about if I do say so myself."
"Yes, tis hard to be such a marvelous Captain but ye learn ta deal with it." he expressed with his usual extensive hand gestures.
"If I may ask, what's it like to be a pirate?"
"Ah, tis a lot of things love, but must of all, it's freedom."
"Wow."
"How old ye be love?"
A bit taken aback by his sudden question, Riley answered.
"23,why?"
"Oh, no reason." Jack smiled mysteriously. 'Hmmm,23,not bad. Atleast if anything should happen, it would be legal' Jack thought quietly to himself.
"Well since ye seem ta know so much about me, what do ye say ye tell me a little bit about yeself, hmm."
"Okay, umm, well I've lived here my whole life, my mum was a strumpet who abandoned me when I was 5 because she said I was too much to handle and then she ran off with one of her costumers, I never knew my dad and my mum never told me anything him, just said he was a wretched old bastard who deserved to burn in the fiery depths of hell for cheating her out of her money. So I pretty much been on my own since then and I currently work down the street at The Red Dragon." she finished with a bit of shame in her eyes because of the sorry excuse for her life.
"If ye work at The Red Dragon, they what are ye doing here?"
"I like it better here."
"Then why didn't you get a job here?"
"They weren't looking for help here."
"Ah." Jack answered with realization.
Jack could see the sadness in her eyes.' Poor thing.' he thought.' Not only does she have a rotten life but she can't even work where she wants.' And that is when it happened. Something he never, ever thought he of all people would experience. For the first time in his life, he felt a bit of sympathy for someone else. It was just something about her. Something he couldn't quite put his finger on, but he just had this gut feeling he had to protect this girl. That's when the idea struck him.
"Excuse me love, but how would ye like ta accompany ol' Jack to me ship?"
Riley was slightly shocked by his bluntness and didn't quite no what to say.
"Ummm, Captain Sparrow, I'm very flattered, really I am, but I'm not a strumpet."
Jack laughed loudly and Riley looked at him like he was mad.
"I wasn't trying ta bed ye love, I was just simply asking for a beautiful lass to accompany me on the walk back ta me ship, what do ye say?"
Riley, now blushing at the compliment, did the only thing any sane woman would do in this situation.
"Okay."
Outside the stars were shinning brightly and the streets were unusually clear. It was quite peaceful actually. Riley followed Jack with amusement written all over her face as she watched Jack swagger back and fourth and waving his hands about as if he were describing a big adventure. As soon as they reached the docks Jack swiftly turned around and stopped. Startled by his sudden stop, Riley just about ran into him and now their faces were mere inches apart. That's when she heard the words she never in a million years thought she would here.
"How would ye like ta join me crew?"
"Oh my sweet heavens, it's you!" Riley exclaimed with wide eyes and month hung open. Just to look at her you would think you was a nut case.
