Author's note.....Gawd, this took me a while! It's not even that long, but hopefully I'll write another chappie tonight, just so I can get the story somewhere, even though I have no idea where it's going....

Disclaimer...I own nothing, but CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow owns me forever...not really fair is it?

"Ya'wot?"
"I love you!"
"No, no, don't start with me missy, you've already made me emotions go haywire, my heads all wrapped up and I'm thinking things I shouldn't be thinking! You see what you've lowered me too? This is your fault!" Jack pointed to his dark brown eyes which were filled with tears again "I have never cried in my life! In my life! Then you come along, being all beautiful and perfect, then you do one thing to me and I'm a mess! Look at me, I'm bloody pathetic!"
"Jack?" Elizabeth whispered softly "Do you love me?"
"No" Jack said as he looked away.
"Look into my eyes and tell me you don't love me"
Jack looked her straight in the eyes "I...I....I......I can't" He sighed as he turned his head the other way. "Jack..." Elizabeth whispered as she pulled him round to face her. "Do you love me?" Jack twitched uncomfortably "Yes......" He mumbled. "What?" Elizabeth frowned as she touched Jack's hand. "Yes! I'm head over heels, I'm smitten, I'm besotted, I'm infatuated, I'm obsessed, whatever way you want to put it I love you! Happy?" "Jack, I had no idea you felt this way" "Yeah, well, now you do" Jack snapped as he yanked away his hand. "How long have you felt like this?" "A year too long" "A year?" Elizabeth gasped. "It was exactly a year yesterday to when we first met!" "I see you've been counting as well then" Jack sighed. "Yes, I suppose I have been" Elizabeth frowned; she hadn't realized that she had been counting. "So how long have you?" Jack pointed. "How long have I what?" "Loved me" Jack whispered. "Based on the happenings of the last five minutes, I'd say about a year, yeah" "Its pathetic if you think about it" "What is?" "We've both loved each other since we first met right?" "Yes" "But we were too scared to tell each other, in case we got rejected" Elizabeth nodded "I see what you mean. But now, we both know how we feel, everything will be alright, won't it?" "Will it really?" Jack looked up at Elizabeth through his dark brown eyes. Elizabeth looked down at Jack and held his face in her hands. "Of course it will, how can it go wrong now?"
