Chapter 12- Damn Bloody Woman
Romi held her breath as those three little words slipped past her lips. Jack's eyes were wide as he held her gaze. His mouth opened to respond. "Romi, I.."
Just then Angela came through the door. "Oh Jack you're awake!" She came in holding a tray with food. "It's so good to see you're ok."
"Thank ye Angela." He laid his head back down on the pillow with relief.
"Romi I brought you some food." She set the tray down on the table. "I'll go re-fill the basin with fresh water." Romi ran up to her. "I'll go with you." She picked up the basin and grabbed Angela by the sleeve as she bolted for the door.
"What was that all about?" She demanded as she was still being dragged. Romi finally let her go but continued walking with the basin in her hands. Her knuckles were white from gripping it so hard. Angela noticed this. "Honey, are you alright?"
"Um actually I don't know." She started to bite her lip.
"Well what happened?"
Romi took a deep breath. "I told Jack that I loved him." Angela's eyes almost popped out of her head. "Oh my God, what did he say?"
"That's just it, before he could answer me, you walked in. And then I didn't know if I even wanted to hear what he had to say."
"Well you're going to have to face him you know?"
"I know, I guess in the moment.I got scared."
"Scared of what? Of what you said or what he'll say?"
"Of what he'll say. When I said it, I didn't care of what his reaction would be, but I guess it was one of those moments you get wrapped up in and don't think about the consequences."
"So then you really do love him, I mean it's only been what 4 days?"
"I know, but I've never felt this way about anyone before Angie."
The two friends just continued on their way re-filling the basin. Talking the whole time. They finally got back to the cabin. "Romi, just be careful with what you say. I don't want to see you get hurt."
"I know. We'll see what happens." She looked out into the distance. "Will and the others should be returning tomorrow morning."
"I know, I can't wait till Will comes back, I miss him so much."
Romi looked at her friend and smiled. "You are so lucky Angie."
"It will happen for you too, you'll see." She said knowing what Romi meant. With that they hugged and Romi went back inside the cabin.
She looked over to the bed and saw Jack was asleep. She put down the basin on the table and began eating the food Angela had left for her. Jack, though, was far from sleeping. He was still in a state of shock. He didn't know what to say to her, so how can he face her. The last thing he wanted was to break her heart, but he was a pirate. His only love was his ship. He knew he did feel something for her, but it couldn't be love..or could it? He had to sort these things out in his mind before saying anything.
Jack opened his eyes and looked towards where Romi sat, picking at the food on her tray. She had her back to him. He had to say something, it was still daylight outside and the moon was far from setting. He couldn't just ignore her all day, especially not after her taking care of him. Jack thought about all this, and then he finally spoke up.
"Romi?"
Her back went stiff and she almost stopped breathing. "Yes Jack?" She didn't turn around.
"Come 'ere luv. Please."
She hesitated then she turned her head to the side, and stood up. She thought to herself of why she was letting this bother her so much. She looked him square in the eye and stood in her spot. "Well what is it?"
Jack noticed she was trying to pretend that nothing was wrong. He had to be careful with what he said to her. "I just wanted to talk to you about this morning."
"Look Jack, there's nothing to say. I'm sorry I said it. I think it was just because I was emotional from everything that has happened. Can we forget about it and go back to the way things were?" Her lip trembled a bit but she hoped he didn't notice.
"Please, I just wanted to let you know that." he looked into her hazel eyes. God she was beautiful. KNOCK KNOCK!
"Hell and damnation, who is it!" Jack was seemingly upset at the sudden interruption. Angela opened the door, though somewhat slowly and poked her head inside. "Um just wanted to know if you both would like dinner in a little while?"
"I'll go help you Angie." She walked towards the door and turned her head to look at Jack, I'll be back later with your dinner." With that, she walked out with Angela and shut the door.
"Damn it. Bloody woman." Jack stared at the ceiling frustrated not being able to jump up and run after her so he can give her a piece of his mind. He couldn't believe she just got up and left like that. No. He was going to get up and find her and tell her off, that's right. He was Captain Jack Sparrow and nobody treats him like that and gets away with it.
He propped his elbows on the bed and with much difficulty, tried to sit up. He lowered his feet to the floor and stood himself up. A blur of dizziness overcame him and he dropped right back down to the bed. He lay there on his back with his legs dangling over the bed. Once the dizzy spell was gone, he tried again. He stood on his uneasy legs and made for the door. He walked onto his deck and the sun stung his eyes. His crew saw him and began cheering for their Captain, happy to see he was going to be alright. Jack waved to them and continued on his way to the kitchen.
When he finally reached it he walked in and there she was with Angela busy preparing dinner for tonight. Angela was the first to see him and her eyes became wide. "Um someone to see you." Romi looked at her and then towards the doorway and saw Jack. He was holding himself up against the wall, obviously in pain.
"Jack what are you doing?" She ran to him and tried to help. Jack looked at Angela and motioned for her to leave. She did so without a fuss and slipped out the back. As soon as she was gone, Jack grabbed Romi and pushed her up against the wall and kissed her with all his might. She was taken aback at first but settled into the kiss as her arms went around his neck. This was unlike any other kiss she ever felt before, it was possessive and passionate at the same time. His tongue danced across her lips wanting access and she obliged. He pressed his body against hers but winced with pain forgetting about his wound. He pulled back a little, his hand resting on his side, but he continued the kiss not wanting anything to disturb him again. He wanted her to know how he felt and right now this was the only way he knew how. He wasn't one to pour out his feelings in words.
Jack finally pulled himself away but just enough so he can still hold her against him. Romi's breathing was rapid and shallow. She looked into his deep brown eyes and found the answer to her question. A smile danced across her face, Jack returned the smile, having accomplished what he wanted he turned to leave and return to his quarters. He looked back at her and with that famous grin of his, left the kitchen.
