Chapter Six : "Shut up and."
"Thought you could run from us, did you?" Dad asked, looking down at us.
"Yeah, I figured we could." I said, looking at the wall separating Emily's courtyard from her neighbors.
"Well, you thought wrong." Dad said.
"I don't think I did." I said, hooking eye contact with David.
"You don't?" Dad asked.
"No, I don't." I said, and David and I broke into a run, and vaulted over the courtyard wall. We repeated this until there weren't anymore walls. Then I led him down a hidden path and into the woods.
I stopped to catch my breath, David stopped too.
"Why are we running from them?" David asked.
"So we can get away with out punishment." I answered.
"But we are just making them angrier." He said.
"I know." I answered. "But then, when we lose them, we give them time to calm down, and then once they have cooled down, we go back. They give us an easy punishment, and all is well. Believe me, I know this by now, it's a highly useful technique."
"And it gives us time alone." David said, grinning.
"That too." I said.
Suddenly I felt his hands on my waist again. And oddly, I didn't want to pull away. He pulled me closer to him.
I told myself not to look him in the eyes. Of course, that was the first thing I did. His eyes had that different look to them again. I tired to place it. It looked like he wanted to do something with me. Something bad.
His right hand came up and pushed the hair put of my face. I shivered. My spine had chills going up and down it. My heart was hammering, my mouth was dry, and I couldn't think straight. What was happening???? I need to know what the hell was going on.
"Caroline, relax." David said, so my face must have shown some of what I was thinking.
Know that got me ticked off. He was telling me to relax?? I'd like to see him in my shoes, and pretty sure he wouldn't relax.
"You are telling me to relax?" I asked, but oddly enough, when he told me to, I seemed to be. He could have told me to jump off the side of Dads ship, and I probably would have done it.
"You are though, aren't you?" He said, his secret smile still in place.
"Against my will, I assure you." I hissed, but I wasn't mad anymore. He seemed to have a magic touch that I could not explain.
"Oh, I don't think so." He said, and by now we were hardly an inch from each other.
That was when it hit me. It was like lightning. I was standing there, in confusion, and suddenly I wasn't confused anymore. I knew why my heart was flipping around, and my mouth felt like sandpaper, and I couldn't think straight. I was in love. In love with a pirate. An act so terrible, it was considered a crime. I had fallen in love with a pirate. Mother and Dad would disown me. Well, maybe not Dad. Mother would. She would be forced into it by Grandfather, whom I did not like at all.
I looked at David. He was still smiling, and I felt weak in the knees.
He leaned down to whisper something in my ear. "There is no need to be frightened, Caroline." He said.
Finally, something inside me started to act normal. Unfortunately, it was my temper.
"No need to be frightened? No need to be frightened? I anyone finds out about this, you are as good as dead, and I'm as good as disowned!! You don't understand. For someone like me to fall in love with a pirate, it's considered scandalous, even considered a crime!! They would have you hanged on some made up charge, and I would be disowned!!!"
"But we won't be here." He said.
I looked at him, and I knew what he was thinking.
"No. We can't run away on The Pearl. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of."
"Aye, but you didn't hear it."
He got me there. "Still it's the stupidest idea I have ever sensed." I said.
"And why do you think that?" He asked, his voice sending those damn shivers down my spine.
I don't know what made me say it. It just slipped. "Just shut up and kiss me already!"
David smiled, tilted my chin upward, and kissed me.
It was the best thing that had ever had. His kiss swept trough me, like a lightning. For the first time in my life, I felt safe.
Of course, I didn't know who was hiding in the bushes surrounding us.
