*~*~*

Jack places you on the bed in the corner, which you assume is his. You watch Jack remove his thick jacket and place it on a deep oak coloured chair. He turns around and kneels down beside you.

"I hope I'm not inconveniencing you in any way, Jack, if I'm in the way, I'll gladly go back to the bar," you gulp and hope he doesn't dump you with no where to go and a hurt ankle. He rubs his hands together quickly.

"No, luv, it's no problem fer ye to be stayin' on me ship," you sigh a breath of relief "but all yer girl…um, things…ye'll have to talk to Anna-Maria for that," he finishes.

"Oh, you are absolutely sure?" you ask hesitantly. He smiles and pulls a strand of loose hair out of your eyes.

"I'm sure, not stop talkin' like some proper broad, yer with Captain Jack Sparrow now," he reassures you. You smile and feel comforted.

"Where are you goin' ta sleep?" you ask, dropping the fake accent. You'd only used it as a ruse against the men in the bars so if they ever recognized you as the one who had jipped them of their money you could just play the 'I'm smart and proper and don't associate with scum like you' card. Bang, you were off the hook.

"I'll find some space" Jack responds. You sigh and watch him leave, on his way, blowing out the candles that were suspended in copper holders beside the doorway. He smiles one last time and closes the double doors.

*~*~*

Mr. Gibbs listened to the heavy footsteps walking across the deck carefully and heard the latch unlock above his head. Jack stepped down the make-shift ladder.

"Ah, Captain, given up yer cabin?" Why ain't ye up there now?" Gibbs asked and watched Jack's smooth face. Jack didn't flinch as he responded

"She's not one of them."

*~*~*

You look cautiously around the cabin. Most everything is a deep blood red, the furniture, the candles, even the bed sheets. Maybe his favorite colour is red; you think, suddenly realizing that this is the first time you actually cared about what someone else favorite colour was. You shake your head. You can't be…in love with the man? He's a pirate! You know they never stay in one place or settle down. You bring the blankets at your feet around your body, all the way to your chin and think about today. It was nice of Jack to save you and letting you stay on his ship but that woman…You can't help but wonder if maybe she's got something to hide.

"Oh well, everything will be back to normal by tomorrow." You hope. You drift calmly off to sleep, listening to the sounds of the lapping ocean.

*~*~*

Meanwhile, a brawl was happening below deck. Between Jack and Anna-Maria.

"Who is she Jack?" Anna-Maria nearly yelled, her voice starting to crackle.

"No one, Anna-Maria," Jack responded nonchalantly. He shifted in the hammock hanging from the pillars, his own making, since all the beds were taken. He and Anna-Maria were the only ones awake.

"I know, she's a whore, isn't she? ISN'T SHE?" Anna-Maria said with more force. Jack stood up quickly and swayed a bit. He swiftly walked over to her.

"Now, if she was a whore, Anna-Maria, wouldn't I be up there right now?" he smirked at the sudden confusion on Anna-Maria's face and lay back on the hammock again. Anna-Maria tapped her foot angrily.

"Well, if she's not a whore," Anna-Maria snorted at this "Why is she here? You know we have to leave tomorrow morning."

"I met her in a bar," Anna-Maria snorted again "Woman, let me speak. She hurt her ankle and I helped her. As far as I know, mind you, there's no doctor's in Tortuga, so we take her to Port Royal."

A/n: Hope ya like. I got in more dialogue, it just didn't feel right for you to be prim and proper, and tried to get in more details. You get to meet Will and Elizabeth next chapter!
