When I Found You
Chapter 5: The Dream
Toni lied on her back, staring at the ceiling. It was a tiring day for her, mending the sails and cooking for the crew. After eating her dinner, she excused herself immediately, knowing that there will be a crewmember that will clean the dishes. For the last five days that she has been staying aboard the Black Pearl, she's a fast learner in doing chores aboard the ship. Her mind wandered a little more. She thought about her family again. Come to think of it, she missed them already. "How are they right now?" she thought, "I just hope that they are ok without me." A tear fell from her right eye at that thought. She wiped the tear away when she felt the doorknob moving. She then rolled to her right and pretended to be asleep.
She felt Jack come in and placed his hat on the nightstand. She then heard rumblings; she assumed that Jack is taking off his shirt, boots and effects. Then, the room turned dark. "Jack must've put off the candle already," she thought. She waited still until she heard Jack snore. She lie on her back once more and think a little more. She noticed that the moon's rays gave an eerie glow to room. She got up and walked to window. The sea was so peaceful at night. She turned her attention back to the sleeping Captain. He looked so peaceful when he sleeps. It is so unlike him when he is awake and Toni can't believe that the man in front of her is the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow. She scrutinized him for a minute. Her gaze fell on his chest. She saw two gunshots on the right part. His built up muscles due to the work on his ship. She saw his pirate brand on his right arm and the sparrow tattoo above the 'P'. Her gaze fell onto his face. His slightly parted mouth revealed his gold and silver teeth. Before she knew it, she is leaning forward to capture his lips...
Toni opened her eyes and blinked a couple of times to adjust her vision in the darkness of the room. "Thank God it was only a dream," she thought. She closed her eyes again and sank her head on the soft pillow and snuggled on the soft blanket. "Wait, bed?" she thought. She sat up and realized that she was not on her make shift bed. She felt something on her stomach. She threw the sheets off of her and saw a hand wrapped around her waist. She trailed her gaze to the owner of the arm to none other than: Jack Sparrow.
Toni struggled to be free from his embrace and backed away from the bed. Jack stirred and opened his eyes. He saw Toni glaring up at him, breathing heavily. He sat up and said, yawning, "What's the matter, luv?"
"What am I doing in your bed, Captain?"
"Oh that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, "Why ask me? Ye were the one 'o came up to me the first place."
Toni glared at him even more. "Don't believe him," she thought, "He's a pirate and a pirate lies."
"Ok, ok. I pitied you, luv. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw ye there. Ye look so uncomfortable down there. So I decided to carry ye up 'ere and sleep beside me. Savvy?"
Toni thought for a moment. "Savvy. But don't do that again, Captain."
"Why not, luv?"
"First of all Captain, don't call me love. I am not your love. And second, because I don't want you to. I might think that you're harassing me or something. And you just don't know how fierce I can be Captain."
Jack raised and eyebrow questioningly. Toni returned it with a glare, ordering him to shut up. He sighed and gave up. Toni returned to her makeshift bed.
"Are ye sure ye don't want to sleep with me, lass?"
"No, Captain. I'm quite comfortable here."
"Suit yerself, lass. But don't blame me if yer goin' to return in me bed."
Toni rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever. Goodnight, Captain."
"Goodnight, lass."

A/N: Sorry, short chappie here. And I'm also sorry for taking me so long to update this chapter. Hell week just finished (exams week) and it's summer here in the Philippines. So that means, I'm going to have a lot of fun this months.
Thanks to all my reviewers who gave me inspiration to continue this fic. I really, really wanted to leave this story but thanks to them, I still continued this story even if I submitted only a short story.
Happy summer to all Filipinos out there! Enjoy your summer! Ja!
