Chapter 3
"Rum and A Killer Headache"

The sun ran over my face, I woke up and looked at the window I had seen before I fell asleep. Then I realized there was an arm around me. "What the...." I trailed off, looking over my shoulder at Jack who was sound asleep. What the hell did he think he was doing? Well, maybe he wasn't thinking, he was sleeping. If he's awake I'm going to smack the crap out of him. I thought to myself. I picked up his arm, and tossed it behind me.

"No, that's mine.." Jack mumbled, I could barely understand him. I laughed quietly, putting my right hand over my mouth as I did so. I didn't want to wake him, but it was so funny.

"Mmm, I don't know bout that luv." Jack mumbled, licking his lips. He had to be awake, why else would he say that?

"Jack." I whispered. He didn't move or say anything. I rolled over onto my right side and looked at him. "Jack, I want you.." I whispered again, poking him in the side. Again I got no response, I then wondered if I could hold a conversation with him while he was sleeping. I knew he would respond to that if he were awake.

"So, Jack, you don't know about what?" I asked

"Us." He said simply, rolling on to his back. I gave a very confused look; I raised a brow I thought about what he had just said. He must be talking about someone else. Not US, in the terms of Ravenica and Jack living happily ever after. Yea, that's it. After a few more minutes of thinking about it, I decided it was time for him to get up. If I had to be up, so did he. I poked him again, not realizing how hard I had actually poked him; he rolled right off of the bed. I closed my eyes and pretended to be sleeping.

"Uh What??" Jack said, quickly standing, looking at his surroundings. I tried to stifle my laugh, but my chest gave me away. I covered my mouth and opened my eyes, coming eye to eye with Jack he was leaning over the bed, right in front of me. I could feel his warm breath on my own lips.

"Something funny, luv?" he asked

"Not at all." I smiled, thinking about him rolling off of the bed and I began to laugh again.

"I don't know about you, you laugh at the weirdest things." He said, standing up straight. I just grinned, also standing. I began to straighten out my skirt. Jack watched me intently, as if wishing he could do it. I rolled my eyes, watching him put his shirt on.

"So, Captain Ravenica Robins, ye best get something to eat." Jack said finally

"Well, Captain Jack Sparrow, I think I will." I smiled slightly, putting my sword back at my side. I wasn't about to tell him I wasn't hungry just for spite. What would be the point in that? I tried that last night and ended up in his cabin anyway. I was in fact hungry; I made my way down into the gallows, half of the crew sat at the large wooden table in the middle of the floor.

Gibbs looked at me sleepy. "I see ye is awake."

"Yea I'm definitely awake." I said, sitting next to him.

"Aye, well eat up, got a long day of sailing ahead of us."

"We're still headed to Tortuga I take it." I said, looking over the slop they happened to call food. It consisted of a bowl of oatmeal and a roll that looked to be hard as a rock. I wasn't one to complain or say I had better food on me ship; in fact it was about the same.

"Aye, to Tortuga we go." I sighed, after eating I made my way back up to the deck. Watching various members of the crew go about on their way. I wondered if after Tortuga we would head after my ship or Jack planed to drop my ass off. I pondered it only for a few moments.

Until Gibbs came walking over to me. "The captain would like to speak with you."

I nodded, what would he want to talk to me about? I wondered as I made my way up the stairway to the helm.

"Ye wanted to speak wit me?" I questioned

"Aye." He nodded I looked him over. He looked so content steering his ship, holding a compass in the other hand. "I've thought over your proposition, after Tortuga we will go in search of your ship, ye say know where it's going to be?"

"Aye, I do. My first mate is very predicable, I know his every move that is running through his head."

"So tell me, what made them maroon you on an island?"

"The thought of treasure." I scoffed. "My first mate can be persuasive if he wants to be. The mutiny I had never expected however, I figured my crew to be trustworthy. They stabbed me in the back and stole my luv." I said, looking at the wooden planks that sat under my feet.

"Well, we will get ye luv back. I know what its like, been through the same thing myself."

"I heard about that." I said simply.

"So tell me, how do you know where ye ship is gonna be?" he questioned

"If I've learned anything in my 23 years, its how to read people. After knowing someone for as long as I have known my first mate, I can read his mind like the back of my hand."

"Ye think ye know everything huh?" he questioned I quickly looked up at him.

"Not everything, but I think I've almost got ye figured out."

"Oh really, enlighten me please." He said sarcastically, closing the compass and putting it into his pocket.

"Well, you're a proud man, ye take great pride in your ship, which is your love. You wouldn't give up ye love without a fight. Ye luv rum a little too much and fast women that are cheap. Anything close to what you really are, Captain Sparrow?"

He began to nod but then stopped. "No far from it."

"Far from it how?" I questioned, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I don't care to explain it right now."

"Alright, fine. Thank ye Captain for deciding to help me get me ship. I will no longer bother ye."

"There are other ways you can thank me other than just saying it." He grinned

"In your dreams." I said, walking away rolling my eyes as I did so. I realized I was going to have to keep a close eye on him. I couldn't yet read him like a book, but a few things I had learned after coming on for just one day. The day passed by quickly into darkness, after a long day of working along with the crew I was tired. I heard the crew below talking about the day. I sat on the bow, overlooking the ocean. Watching the waves flow back and forth. I loved just sitting in the darkness, looking up at the stars. I decided to retire to the captain's cabin.

"Another night with Jack Sparrow, what could go wrong?" I asked myself. I entered the cabin, glad to find he wasn't in there yet.

The room was actually pretty bright for only being candlelit. I took of my sword and set it on the floor next to the table. Jack walked in a few minutes later I watched him walk over to the cupboard and take out a bottle of rum.

"Would ye like some rum?" he asked, holding out two bottles

"Yes, please." I smiled. I took the bottle of rum from his left hand, our fingers touched briefly. I uncorked it and sat at the small table. Jack sat across from me.

"So, what is ye plan to get your ship back?" he asked.

"As I told ye before, I know where it's going to be. And I plan to take her." I stated, chugging down a quarter of the bottle.

"Aye, so this treasure you spoke of..."

"I'm not telling you where it is. However, I promise ye, you get me my ship. I will get you that treasure." I smiled Jack grinned, putting his finger to his lips as if in thought. I put my feet on the table and leaned back in my chair.

"Good rum." I smiled, taking another drunk.

"Ye should drink so much." He said

"Aw, are ye worried I'm going to drink it all and leave you with nothing?" I asked a smile playing on my lips.

"Aye, I need my rum."

After about an hour and very good rum I had a moment of happiness. After all I was going to be going to get my baby. Jack had walked out to make sure everything had been taken care of for the day. As we all know, sometimes you just feel like dancing. I slowly began to dance around singing to myself. (Note: song came from Xena lol.. go figure eh? I just liked the song and thought it would be a good addition to meh story.)

"I'm a candle in the wind, my future flickers before my eyes." My arms moved slowly up and down. I watched my shadow on the wall. "I'm to restless to be satisfied with silence, so I'll push further through the night. Say you want to put me out and then I'm on.. No I've heard those lies before. Cause the fire inside it just keeps burning, just wont stand it anymore." I continued to dance around, moving my hips along with the imaginary song in my head. "You came along you pulled me up when I was down, the way you made me feel just took me by surprise you took my hand you stole my heart you buried the fire..." I turned around; my eyes closed my hips still swaying to my imaginary music.

I opened my eyes and Jack was standing there. I quickly stopped

"how long have you been standing there?" I questioned my face was beet red with embarrassment. I couldn't believe what he had just caught me doing. He grinned, I watched him lick his lips.

"since ye started, dancing around." he said, beginning to dance around like I had been. But, nowhere near as good as I was doing.

"Glad ta see ye, liked it." I smiled.

"Ye need to learn to knock!" I yelled "This is me cabin!" "Oh yeah, I forgot.." I said, looking at the ground. An awkward silence ran between us. I didn't know what to say, I couldn't think of anything except for how embarrassed I now was. I guess a part of me was a silly little girl. I walked back over to the table and grabbed the bottle, finishing it off.

"Good rum." I said finally, laughing at myself for the statement I had just made.

"Ye drank the whole bottle? Ye drink like I do." He asked, eyeing the now empty bottle I had set on the table, finally closing the door.

"Ye can continue with the dance if ye so choose." He grinned, sitting on the bed, removing his boots.

"I don't think so, camptain." I slurred.

"Aw why not, ye is a good dancer, makes good for other things to."

I quickly shot a look at him; I knew what he was getting at this time. I raised a brow, well why not play with him for a while, give him some entertainment. I took his hand, and we slowly began to dance. I hummed a slow tune; my arms were around his neck, his rested around my waist. I ran my hands over his neck and back down his back. I then pushed him onto the bed, giving him a playful grin. He grinned at me, running his hands up my back while I straddled around his hips. My lips brushed his lightly. I then put my lips to his ear.

"Guess you'll never know."

He raised a brow in surprise. I moved to my side of the bed and lay on my back.

"Well, that's just.... not.... right." He slurred, if he was hurt, he never let on. I watched him take another swig of his Rum. He lay on his back next to me.

"Ye can't tell me you actually thought I was going to go through with it."

"Actually the thought did cross my mind, I guess I was just hoping." He smiled I grinned at him.

He knew of my intentions and the game that was about to be played and still never let me figure that he knew. He was going to be harder to figure out than I anticipated. I fell asleep a few moments later, exhausted from that day's events. When I awoke, the sun was high in the sky, I figured it to be about noon. I was to lazy to get my sword, I walked out of the cabin. The sunlight was blinding. I covered my eyes and waited for them to adjust. I looked up to the helm where Jack stood, a huge grin on his face. I walked up to him.

"Good to see ye is up, luv." He shouted.

"Not so damn loud!" I yelled back, killing my ears even more, causing me to cover them. "How many times am I going to have to remind you not to call me luv?"

"To much rum eh?" he asked, his gold teeth flashing in the sunlight as he grinned at me. "And ye will have to remind me, everyday because I will always forget.....luv."

I rolled my eyes. "Well, it's just a little headache, it will go away." I said, standing up straight. I didn't want him to know I couldn't handle the next day headache from drinking to much rum. "I will remind you everyday until you stop it! .... Got anything for me to do?"

"Not at the moment, but if something comes up I will let ye know." I nodded and made my way back to the cabin, I just wanted to lay around anyway.
