Chapter 3

JUSTINE'S EYES

I couldn't believe when I got up in the middle of the night that Will had left without paying me a shilling, let alone a good bye! You can never tell a man by his speech and looks. It's the action that counts. There was a knock at my door. At this time a night? I opened the door. It was Harold.
"Good, you are here! Where have you been all night? I've wanted to introduce you to this man. He is the captain the Merado," he explained.

I knew what that meant. I had to try and get money out of this man by trying to make him believe I am in love with him. Harold needed money all the time. The bloody pirates won't stop breaking things and the other whores are always demanding higher pay. The captain turned around. He was a man of short stature. Shorter than I, he looked like a grumpy old man. His greasy hair was slicked to the back of his head, covered by an enormous hat. I was very disappointed, but in order to keep my job I had to do this. I'd never heard of the Merado, anyway.

JACK'S EYES

What a great idea! I cannot wait to get back to Justine! I am not only the most feared and admired pirate of the Caribbean; oh no, that's not all! I am also the object of desire to every woman this side of the earth! I looked around for what I was looking for. Damn! Nowhere is bloody open this time of the night! I have to keep looking! She might wake up!

JUSTINE'S EYES

The Captain was a very boring character. Very boring. He kept rambling on about how rich he was and how he could make me a star, and turn the club AMOR into a theatre. All of which would have interested me any other day, but I was so caught up in being hurt by Will that I couldn't even concentrate on this poor man I was luring into my trap. The one I have perfected over the years. I shouldn't think about Will. After all, he did just desert me. But for what reason? I cannot say. I figured that Will was gone for good, and was never going to come back. So much for having an interesting life. I need some liquor.

"Captain, would you like some wine?" I asked.

"Sure, my sweet" he said in a lovesick voice.

We drank our drinks, and eventually got to business. I couldn't help but think about Will, though. The night was near over. Then I heard a knock on the door. Who could it be? It was obvious I couldn't leave the Captain in this state. After all he was having a mighty good time. I decided to ignore the knock. But then the door opened. I looked over, expecting to see Harold. But it was not Harold at all. It was the very man I was thinking about. Will! He looked very hurt and shocked. I left the bed.

"Will! Wait! I can explain!" I yelled as he stormed down the steps.

"What for, you bloody whore! He answered.
