Dis: Same as before, but if I could own jonny, I would be in heaven!
Last time…..
"Jonny…" She whispered. She reached out and touched his shoulder.
They man turned and smiled as he saw Jessie. "You look more beautiful the stars."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Jonny?" she whispered again looking into the mans eyes.
"Miss, its me, Toby. I was told to make sure the dress fit before your dinner." Jessie gave a sad smile.
"The dress fits wonderfully." Toby looked relieved as bowed slightly.
"Lorenzo will be here shortly, I hope you have a fun evening." With that he turned and left. Jessie nodded to his retreating back and closed the door.
'Jonny's dead, face it, stop getting your hopes up.' she scolded herself. She did a last minute look in the mirror before there was another knock at her door.
Lorenzo led Jessie into the Dinning room, it was surprisingly elegant, for a pirate ship. It only had about 5 tables, crystal chandeliers hanging above each of them, giving enough light to see, but not bright. (AN: Ok, kinda think of the dining room in titanic, its mostly what im thinking of, but smaller.)
"Jessica," He pulled out her chair for her. She hesitated, but sat down, not taking her eyes off him. "I do hope there is no hard feelings for earlier, I understand that I was out of line." He explained looking at her sheepishly, while taking the cover off her meal. (AN: cover, ya know, like the things that room service covers your food with…..)
'OK, What the HELL is going on here? Why is he suddenly being all nice to me and apologizing.' She hesitantly nodded as she picked up her fork to try the potatoes. 'He poisoned the food, didn't he?' she dropped her fork on the table. 'No, then he wouldn't be eating. Still…' Jessie dropped her napkin and Lorenzo being the fake gentleman he is, bent down to get it. While he was, Jessie switched the plates. 'Well, that takes care of that.' she picked back up her fork and started on the potatoes. 'Unless he knew I would do that, and there for poisoned his food.' Jessie chocked and tried to calmly set her fork down. She saw him looking at her, she smiled sweetly, and he returned it. 'He really should smile more…STOP IT….' she picked up her butter knife, and dropped it on the floor. 'Hes gonna think you're a klutz Bannon.' She thought as she again switched the plates. 'OK, how could I be this stupid, hes only being this nice cause that Captain of his wants me.' She quietly said a thank you when he had the server bring a new knife.
"OK, what's the deal? Is this all cause Bordo, or who ever wants me, so you have to be nice, well let me tell you this Lorenzo, nice and you don't mix, you are much better at being a bodyguard and lackey for Surd." She said a short time later, having not died from the food yet.
"Ah, Miss Bannon, you hurt me, you really do!"
"Answer me this then…" Jessie asked after glaring at Lorenzo, he nodded. "Where's your charming sister and her oh so loveable hubby?" her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Gone." he replied nonchalantly flipping his hand in the air.
"Don't sound so upset over it, I hate to see a grown man cry."
"My, my, you do love sarcasm don't you!?"
"If the shoe fits."
"My turn for a question Miss Bannon." Jessie merely raised an eyebrow
"Why pray tell, were you sailing all alone?"
Jessie didn't know how to answer that. She knew she wasn't going to tell the truth.
"It helps me clear my head." she answered smoothly. He nodded, and turned to the desert that had just been placed in front of him. The rest of the desert was in silence as the two ate their Apple pie, with vanilla ice cream.
"Allow me to escort you to your room Miss Bannon." Lorenzo stood and pulled back her chair for her. He then offered her his arm. Which she strangely accepted. As they walked, few of the pirates whistled at Jessie, and she in turn glared.
"Have a wonderful Night." He said as they reached her door. He took her hand and kissed it. She just half heartedly smiled as she opened the door and walked in. She turned to look back at him, and he smiled at her. She closed the door, and went right to bed, only talking off the dress and shoes.
"I'll have her before we give her to Bardo. Mark my words." With that he left for his own rooms.
"You will not harm Jessica." Toby stepped out of the closet that he was hiding in. A look of determination on his face.
AN: well!? That little button for reviews wont press its self!!!
