Recap: 'Elizabeth...I feel as though I must express to you...what happened earlier...I didn't just see it as sex. Ye meant somethin' to me aye?'

Elizabeth smiled and slowly kissed Will. She kissed him with passion, showing that she felt exactly the same way.....

Chapter 7: The Next Morning

Both Frankie and Elizabeth woke to find themselves alone in their rooms. Frankie was still tired but decided she could take this chance to go and see Elizabeth; they had a lot to talk about concerning the events of last night.

Frankie wandered to the room she knew Elizabeth would be in and walked through the door. Elizabeth was getting dressed as she walked in; she had been left some clothes for both her and Frankie. Elizabeth saw Frankie and smiled 'Hi Frankie, did you sleep well?' 'Yes fine thank you' The girls stood in silence for a moment before Frankie decided she must be frank and discuss things with Elizabeth.

'What happened between you and the pirate last night?'

Elizabeth seemed to contemplate how to answer, as if not wanting to embellish about the nights events but she eventually let out a smile and a sigh before telling Frankie...

'Well at first I didn't want to even talk to him after the way those pirates treated us but he gave me space and did not force me to talk to him...He just left me alone to think. But later he came back and he was just extremely nice and so kind. He was not as though I thought pirates acted. Those kind eyes and his kind heart. I couldn't help but let him stay and talk with me; I admit I wanted to get to know him better. Well we talked for hours and as it got late he offered to leave me to sleep alone and even told me that I could leave the ship if I chose to when we get to the next port. It was then that I realized I didn't want him to go and I just couldn't help myself and I kissed him. Well it was amazing, so loving, so heartfelt. Frankie I want you to understand but I know that you probably won't. Will is a nice man, a kind man and very loving. I know this sounds stupid but I think I'm falling in love with him already. I won't tell what happened the rest of the night but I do not regret any of it....'

Frankie could not believe what her friend was saying. She hadn't known the man long enough to think she was falling in love. What was she thinking? Frankie had to make her see sense, she may love this pirate but he certainly can't love her. Pirates don't know how to love, they would tell you anything to get you into their bed. She could not help but raise her voice and she spat:

'How can you think you love him? He probably put on the kind act to get you into his bed. I thought you had more sense than this, we make a living off taking advantage of men and here you are falling for the tricks we use to get men to give us what we want. If he loved you so much would he not be here when you wake? Do you even know where he is? He has gotten what he wanted off you and he didn't even have to pay for it. I hope you're happy Lizzie because I'm sure he's laughing about it all now to that pitiful pirate friend of his!'

Elizabeth felt so hurt by these words, how could Frankie be so horrible to her? She did not understand how it felt with Will. He couldn't use her could he? She would have noticed. He was loving towards her and sweet and kind. She would show Frankie but she hoped she would understand soon because Elizabeth did not want to jeopardize her friendship over this.

'Frankie you are the closest thing to me, I would not tell you these things if I did not believe he was sincere towards me. I know you don't like the things I have told you but soon you will understand. I love you; you're the only family I have. I want you to respect that I can make my own decisions'

'Lizzie I love you and I'm just trying to protect you. I will keep my feelings to myself but I hope for your sake you're right. Well anyway since we seem to have some time to ourselves shall we just forget this for a while and look around our new 'home''

Elizabeth smiled at her friend and they went off to explore their surroundings. Both women were a little confused about having a slight argument...it had never happened before but they were friends, they could get past this.

Meanwhile: Jack and Will are also together

'Aye mi boy, ye seem to have a lil charm with the ladies. I got nowhere with mine but aye I like feisty women. This was ye had, was she good?'

Will couldn't help but smile to himself, remembering last night. She was amazing, everything about her was intoxicating. Her touch, her taste, her smell, it had taken him over. How could one woman do this to him? This is what he had waited for, someone who could capture his entire being; he knew Jack wanted a woman to love aswel although neither really admitted it to each other.

'She was more than good Jack, this girl is amazin' I don't know, it felt real, not like the other girls who I don't even want to mess with. She's special Jack, she really is.'

'Dear William getting' all soppy aye? This Elizabeth gettin' to ye?

'Jack I have feelins' for this girl, she isn't like the rest...I want her to stay with us, I don't know if she will if her friend doesn't want to be here. Jack make this girl like you, show her ye aint a typical pirate, lie if ye hafta, jus get them to stay!'

Jack grinned to himself, a pretty face and he thinks he's in love. He couldn't deny he needed a woman also but this Frankie was proving to be a challenge which he liked. Reminded him of women like Anamaria. For Will he'd try but he wasn't making any promises.

'Aye me boy, I'll help ye. Ye just like ye father, a good pirate but fallin for a woman will make ye go crazy. Ye stay a good pirate and I'll always help ye but don't let this girl change everythin for us savvy?'

Will just laughed and agreed.
