"Will you let me down?!" Jack hollered as he swung his legs back and forth
hitting the hard warm wood of the ship with the heels of his black boots.
Caley leaned over the top of the bow and tilted her head to the side, her wavy hair moving to one shoulder. She gave him a side smile and tucked the hair behind her ear as it began to fall into her face, the wind beating against her cheeks.
"Come now Jack, don't tell me you're scared," she said with a laugh.
"Me? Scared? And I thought you were daft before. You've had your fun, now bring me up." He replied as he tilted his head backwards to look up at her. He winced as the setting sun shone in his chocolate brown eyes.
"Fine, if it'll stop your complainin'," She sighed heavily and hoisted Jack back up on the deck. He smiled as she leaned over him to untie the heavy and tightly knotted ropes that had bound him earlier to the very front of the ship. She leaned up against him, he could feel her form against his as she began to untie the knots just behind his shoulders. As soon as he was untied and free, he leaned over and softly ran a rough finger down Caley's cheek, a side-smile crossing his face.
"Thanks love," He whispered to her only to have his hand bat away with a great force.
""Don't you start with me Sparrow!" She screamed as she stormed over to the wheel again to regain steering of the ship.
Jack tossed his arms helplessly into the air as he rolled his eyes and walked over to her.
"Wha' did I do now Caley?" He questioned as he took a stand in front of her.
She wanted to walk away, but to abandon ship with no one to steer was unthinkable. She was the captain and therefore she was stuck looking at the face of the other captain. A slight breeze blew by, sending Jack's matted and untidy hair softly over his shoulders as his head bobbed a little bit. He crossed his arms across his chest waiting for an answer. The opening of his shirt also opened up freely to the wind, showing the top of his smooth bare chest. The beads of his hair clinked together a few times before he heard her sigh heavily and drop her hands down by her sides.
"Jack, why must ye be like that?" She lowered her eyes and slumped her shoulders in defeat. She didn't want to let her guard down, she needed to remain the captain that she had always been.
He took a step towards her unfolding his arms and reached one hand out to her to touch her shoulder. "Be like what?"
She turned away from him, jerking her shoulder away out of his reach. She looked over her shoulder, her eyes meeting his. "Be the way that you are." He could see the look in her eyes, a look of disappointment and longing. A look relating to the look a child gives something that they want, but know that they can't have.
"Caley . .." He reached out to her but she walked down to the lower level before he could grab her. He sighed before slumping his shoulders and falling backwards against the wood. He knew he was no good with sentimental stuff, he didn't know what to say. That look was given between the two once before and, if he remembered correctly, it was he who was giving her that look at that time. He looked down to the planks of the floor, his eyes running from plank to plank before he pushed himself up from the wood and made his way down to the lower level as well.
~*~*~ Lower Level ~*~*~
Rum was being passed around like wild, almost every crewmember on the ship had a bottle or jug of rum in their hand with the exception of Will. He made himself quite comfortable in a far corner away from all the drinking especially since Samantha kept looking at him as she chugged her rum. Caley made her way in and grabbed one of the largest jugs in the room, filled to the brim with rum. She chugged away a little less then half on her first swig. Kat was no where to be found in the room and the sun was setting over the horizon, stars were making their way out to paint the sky and the moon was beginning to become very visible. Another girl had made her way into the room, a girl by the name of Anna Brannigan, she had one of the smaller bottles in her hand and only took small sips of rum at a time. She was laughing hysterically at a joke Ray had made. Most of the crew were drunk as dogs already, Will had never seen women drink so much. Soon Jack entered as well, apparently semi-drunk already, and grabbed a jug of rum. He sat himself down in between Ray and Anna and chugged at the rum. At one point during the 'party', Samantha nearly removed her shirt, she began to bring up the hem of the shirt when Anna gasped and grabbed it and pulled it back down. Caley, within a few jugs, was drunk as a dog as well, everyone was except for Will. He had managed to keep himself sober in the room full of temptation, Jack had even tempted him to a swig of rum. His mind was too full of thoughts to try and drink them all away. He thought of Elizabeth, of Kat and of life as a pirate. He decided to go get a spot of fresh air so he made his way up to the deck of the ship, shutting the door behind him.
As soon as he left and shut the door, Samantha and Anna broke out into a fit of giggles.
"That Will Turner, he's something isn't he?" Anna chuckled, the back of her hand muffling her laughter.
Samantha nodded furiously in agreement. "I want him." She replied and then broke out into more giggles before standing up and holding her hand in the air. "I shall tell him that I'm willing to give myself to him tonight!" She informed before leaving out the door and heading into her room before passing out.
Anna laughed and heard a thud, she winced at the sound and stood up. "Maybe I should check on 'er and make sure she's okay." Soon, she too had left to attempt to hoist Samantha onto her bed from the floor before heading into her room for the remainder of the night.
Ray scooted her way over next to Jack and laid her head on his shoulder, playing with a strand of his hair. "Jack . . ." She let out a small giggle and soon hiccuped after that. Jack pushed her away before helping her to stand up and leading her to the door.
"Maybe it's best if you just went to sleep," He whispered into her ear.
"Only with you," she laughed as she turned back to him.
"It's tempting, but no thanks love," he said almost regrettably as he opened the door and pushed her out of it then returning to his seat. He took one last swig of rum before looking around the room and spotting Caley sitting in a corner, an empty bottle of rum in her hand. "Wha' are ye doing over there by yourself love?"
She looked up with drooping eyes, the alcohol taking effect on her already. She stood up and dropped the jug to the ground with a loud THUD. "I was just ponderin'." She replied as she began to walk towards him, swaggering from side to side a bit.
"Why don't you come over 'ere and think?" he offered as he patted a large empty box carton next to him. She gave him a smile and stood in front of him.
"Ye know somethin' Jack, there's somethin' I've been meanin' to tell ye," she said, a slur in her words and she pointed an unsteady finger at him, teetering on her feet slightly.
"And what's that?" Jack wondered as he tilted his head and looked up at her, clasping his hands in his lap.
Caley leaned down, her face only inches from his, so close Jack could feel and smell her alcohol-ridden breath on his skin. "I doubt ye ever knew this, but I love ye. I want ye and I know it's impossible. Cap'n Sparrow . . ." She didn't finish her sentence before she placed her hands on the sides of his face and pulled him to her, connecting their lips in a drunken kiss. She moved one of her hands around to the back of his head bringing him closer before pulling away, looking into his eyes and leaving the room, slamming the door behind her. She made her way into the captain's quarters and felt the salty sting of tears trailing down her cheeks. She rolled herself over onto her stomach burying her face into her pillow and then later, after a few minutes, passing out from the amount of alcohol that she had consumed.
Jack sat shocked, he was at a lose for words or actions, or maybe that was the effect of the alcohol. He looked at her, his eyes searching her's before watching her turn and exit from the room, slamming the door behind her. He sat there thinking for a moment, not one of the easier things to do when drunk before deciding on going after her. He raised himself from his seat, wobbled a bit as he landed on his feet and swaggered over to the door fumbling with the knob. Finally after opening the door, he surveyed the halls with no trace of her, giving up his search and returning to his quarters. Minutes before Jack passed out, his mind passed over her words before reciting his name, captain included. Maybe they were just a lie, make him feel guilty for the things he had done to her in the past, or maybe she was telling somewhat of the truth in her words. After all, effects of alcohol tend to make a person a bit more honest.
~*~*~Okie dokie, I'm back! Yay! Anyways, I'm in band camp now, I have one week left and about a little less than 2 weeks til my school starts . .hang me now.
