"Charlotte, love." Jack said and took a large swallow of rum.
"You still be a free man Jack?" Charlotte sat down.
"Free of what?"
"Free of love, love." She leaned in as she said this and took the bottle of rum. "You still drink far to much." Her beautiful brown eyes, looked black in the dim light of the bar. Mesmerized by them he said,
"I'm free of love, love." He leaned toward her then and took the bottle back. "And I drink as much as I please."
"You were always a hard one to figure out." She had a grin on her face as if she knew something Jack didn't.
"I always liked you." He said in a playful way.
"Really?" She pretended to sound astonished. They sat in silence for a while, Jack sipping his rum every once in a while and then handing it to Charlotte for a drink. "I waited for you Jack." She said finally.
"I know you did." Jack responded.
"I couldn't wait forever."
"I know you couldn't." They sat in silence for another while, sipping more rum. For Jack it wasn't an awkward silence, it was oddly comfortable. It was normal to be sitting here with this woman. In one habitual and quick motion Jack swept her into his arms and kissed her with ten years of longing.
"Jack, I'm married. I have a child." She pulled away and protested.
"Charlotte love, you are absolutely right." He picked up his bottle and held it out, "To marriage." Charlotte held out an imaginary bottle and clicked it with his. He took a long gulp and then took her hand. Without speaking he led her out of the bar, and up to his room. "Love, I loved you, and will miss you forever after this." He swept her off of her feet and onto his bed.
Charlotte allowed herself to be swept away by her very own pirate captain. Her heart raced faster and faster the longer she was with him. All thoughts of her husband and child evaded her mind as he led her to his room. She could only think if Jack and her lost love for him. Then he was back and she felt young again. All she wanted was a last night with Captain Jack Sparrow. He had been the love of her life, and disappeared.
The next morning they both awoke to the sunshine coming through the window. Charlotte turned to look into the eyes of her pirate. There was a completion between them. Their last night together marked the end of what they had. Sadly, Jack let Charlotte leave. He watched her dress and go.
