Suddenly there was a shout and heavy footsteps from above. In an instant, Jack pulled back a little, and a banging at his door broke them apart completely. Anya backed away too, eyes to the floor, as if she were embarrassed or regretful? Jack stared at her until his eyes were torn back to the door as it creaked open.

'Cap'n your presence is required below, whenever ya feel the need.' Gibbs said, peaking his head around the door, his cheeks rosy. He had obviously been drinking. Jack forced a strange smile and clapped his hands together, then rubbed then together.

'Well then, I'll be right down Gibbsy!' he said, in a loud, booming voice. Gibbs merely looked at him strangely before closing the door. He didn't know why but he had a voice in the back of his head screaming 'Get out now you arse! Run!' It wasn't the kiss, oh no, the kiss had been MOST enjoyable. But there was still something…

Jack rushed to get his hat which lay on the chair, but his path was blocked by Anya who was looking slightly confused.

'Wait. You're going right now? I mean… I thought we were… bonding, or whatever weird word you're going to use for it…' she said, her bright green eyes looking most perplexed.

'Look love, my crew needs me!' he said throwing his coat over his broad bare shoulders. 'And far be it for me tah keep them waiting!' he said reaching for his hat again. But Anya slapped his wrist, as if he were a naughty child, and grabbed the hat, holding it behind her.

'Since when has THAT ever been your concern?' she asked incredulously. And her face fell a bit. 'Are you going, to be kind to them? Or leaving to get away from me?' Jack froze as she hit the topic right on the nose.

'Pet…' he sighed and outstretched his hand, 'just give me my bleedin' hat…'

'No.'

'Beg pardon?' he said as if doing a double take.

'No.' she said firmly. 'I'm not giving you your hat till you tell me why you want to leave!' Jack shook his hands and looked at her in disbelief. He lunged for the hat, but she waved it out of the way and leapt onto his bed, dangling it tantalizingly in front of him. 'Is it because I was too much for you?' she asked teasingly. Jack snorted. 'Come on Jack, I thought this is what you wanted! To… let be get your proper lingo…bed me!' Jack dove for the hat again and narrowly missed, as Anya jumped down and ran to the other side of the room.

'Listen, you bloody female, give me my hat, or else!.... Savvy??' he said dangerously through half gritted teeth. She frowned.

'Or else what? You'll trip over me, and in your drunken state, drool on me to death?' she said, crossing her arms.

'You would be lucky if I didn't scalp and keel haul you!' Jack yelled, his hand raised and moving in a motion as if cutting his own throat. Anya growled at him, throwing his hat at his chest.

'Fine. Have your stupid hat! You know, I can't believe I EVER thought of helping a dirty, red necked pirate like you!' she screamed itching to throw something even heavier at him.

'Helping? I'm just lucky I got out when I did… Probably would have given me syphilis anyway!' he said jamming his hat on his head. Anya gasped and then screamed at him, as he strided out the door and slammed it, so hard it might have come off its hinges.
