CHAPTER 4: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
Jack and Connor grew closer as time passed on the Pearl. They spent a lot of time together, talking and finding out about each other. Jack had told her his stories, the truth, and she informed him of everything about her except the darker moments.
A month after they had left Tortuga they sat in the cabin talking. Jack held a bottle of rum in his hand as he listened intently to her words. He let his eyes wander to her lips for a second before returning them to her eyes. Lately he had been wanting to kiss those lips. Lust, he thought it was, but something in the back of his mind told him otherwise.
When she finished talking he excused himself from the cabin and went to find Will. He found the young man with Elizabeth in the galley. "Will I need to speak with you." He lead him to the brig where no one was.
"What is it Jack?"
"I think I have a problem. It's Connor. We've been getting really close lately and I think that I may be beginning to lust after her."
"So?"
"I don't want to hurt her Will. She's my friend, I don't want to jeopardize that. It took me a week just to get her to talk and I don't want to have done that for nothing. I've just been wanting to kiss her and have her in my arms lately."
"Jack, are sure that that is lust, maybe it's something more."
"No Will, it can't be. Pirates don't love."
"Don't not can't. Besides I love Elizabeth."
"You don't count, your only half pirate. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, I don't love, it's only lust. What do I do?"
"I don't know Jack, do what you think is going to help the situation."
"Your right, do what I think is best. I'll separate myself from her more."
"I didn't mean that Jack."
"No, no, I have to." Jack walked out of the brig and went back to the helm.
A few days passed on the Pearl, with Jack barely talking to Connor. She would stare at Jack questionably, wondering what was wrong.
Jack entered the cabin one night and found Connor already in there, sitting on his bed waiting for him. He shut the door and walked over to his desk.
"Jack. What's going on? You won't even look me in the eye anymore."
"Listen Connor maybe we shouldn't be friends. I mean when this is all over, your going to be off the Pearl and we'll never see each other again."
"But you said that I should talk to somebody or I'll get bored."
"Go talk with Will or Elizabeth."
"Is this because you figured out that I wasn't going to sleep with you. Did you become my friend just to bed me? Is that it?"
"No Connor. That's not it."
"Then what is it Jack? I don't usually let myself get close to a person, and I finally do with you and this is what I get. I knew that I shouldn't have let myself get involved with you in any way."
Jack turned to face her and saw the hurt in her eyes. He walked over to her and couldn't help himself. He kissed her, deeply. But he pulled back when she didn't kiss him back.
"What was that?"
"I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry."
"I got to go." Connor said as she left the cabin.
Jack stood in the cabin kicking himself. He had had to kiss her, he couldn't help it. But now a question nagged the back of his mind. That kiss had sparked something inside him and he didn't know what it was.
'It's just lust.' He assured himself.
'Are you sure about that?' The voice questioned him.
Connor stood in the crows nest going over what had just happened. Jack had kissed her, and she had liked it. She had liked it more than anything else. It confused her, she couldn't be falling in love with Jack. She didn't let herself fall in love, she was not able to love. All these years she had fought off emotions, how was it that Jack was breaking through the walls.
"I cannot be in love with him. We're pirates, we don't love. And I can't let myself fall for that trap. I can't trust anyone. There's no way that I am falling for him."
'But then again, he does listen. We've gotten so close lately, and I've been willing to tell him more about myself than I have told anyone else. No it has to be lust, that's all there is to it. But I shouldn't even feel lust for him. What have I gotten myself into. No it's not lust, I'm just imaging all of this, I have no feelings for him.'
'Are you sure about that?' A voice questioned.
She climbed back down and headed for the cabin. She opened the door and walked in closing the door behind her. She found Jack standing in the same place she had left him. She walked over and kissed him, placing her hands around his neck.
'There's only one way to find out.' Both thought as Jack wrapped his arms around her waist and led her to the bed.
An hour later they laid in bed. Both lay in silence, not trusting themselves to speak. Both felt awkward but at the same time happy.
'I knew it it was only lust.'
'Yeah, that's why she's the most fun you've ever had. That's why you feel so complete right now with her next to you.'
'I don't love her.'
'Are you sure about that.' But this time it wasn't a question, it was a statement.
Jack looked down on her, his mind becoming clear.
'Oh, god, I love him. This can't be happening. When did this happen? Why did this happen? I can't be in love, I'll only get hurt. We're pirates, I've learned my lesson I can't trust him.'
'Are you sure about that?' Her voice questioned.
Connor stared out the window of the cabin, refusing to let herself love him.
End chapter four. I think that it seems kind of rushed, but this is how the story goes. Review!
