Chapter 4 I need a cigarette
Once all the dishes were done, Jack said Alyth could have a little time off from work. Dinner didn't need to be ready for quite a few hours. Alyth wandered on deck, looking the ship over. It really was a magnificent ship. The wood was black, the sails were black, and it was so breathtaking. Alyth made her way to the rail of the ship, and looked over the side into the water. The water was churning and frothing white where it met the ship, and the ship just passed right through it, slicing through the water like a knife. Everything was beautiful, and hot. She was beginning to sweat from the sun shinning down on her. Slowly Alyth made her way to the helm where Jack was staring into the horizon.
"What can I do fer ye?" Jack asked as she reached him.
"I was just wondering if I could use your cabin to change, my things are still in there and Ana hasn't shown me my room yet," Alyth asked him.
"O course luv, help yerself."
"Thanks Jack," she grinned up at him, noticing he was at least a head taller then her. He grinned down at her, a smirk playing at his lips.
"Do ye need any help gettin dressed luv? Er maybe undressed?" He asked before she could run off.
"I'm a big girl Jack, I haven't needed help dressing since I was five," Alyth didn't think she would ever get used to this man's audacity, although she was starting to wonder if he was as good as he was obviously proclaiming to be.
"Ye sure luv, we could have quite a bit o fun," Jack said as he leaned down, his lips lightly grazing her ear.
"Well, I do love fun," she murmured with a smirk on her face. Two could play at this game. Alyth brought her hand up and lightly pushed away a dread from his shoulder, pushing it over his back. Her hand came to rest upon his shoulder, and she pulled him closer so she could whisper in his ear, "especially fun with a real man." She looked into his eyes, seeing that they were wide with disbelief.
"Well o course luv, I can help ye out if ye want," Jack's mouth turned into a wide grin as he said this.
"Really Jack? You can help me?" She asked as her fingers began to lightly massage his shoulder. "Well if you really want to help me out..." She stopped, and smiled sweetly up at him, "then maybe you could tell me where I could find a real man?" She pulled her hand away from his shoulder and gave him a wicked grin as she said this. Jack's mouth dropped open, and hung there for a minute.
"I'm the real man," he growled through clenched teeth.
"Oh, you were talking about yourself? Sorry Jack, I only go for real men," Alyth smirked and walked off, trying not to laugh again.
Jack watched the girl as she walked away from him, and into his cabin. 'How had that happened? I could have sworn she was about to give in, to let me... I'm not a real man? Who does that strumpet think she is?' These thoughts ran through his head as the door to his cabin closed, leaving him staring at a closed door.
"Ana Maria," Jack yelled, and waited for the mulatto to come over.
"Yea Jack, what do ye want?" She asked as she reached him.
"Take the helm, I need te take care o somthin," he told her, then quickly walked away to his cabin. Jack opened the door and stepped inside before looking around. He slammed the door shut and looked up as Alyth screeched.
"Jack, what are you doing, get out," she screamed.
Jack looked up and saw the naked girl standing in the middle of his cabin. He smirked at her lovely body, her breasts were huge, and as he quickly looked her over he saw she had a slender stomach, small hips, and legs to die for. His eyes quickly moved back up to her chest, but were disappointed to find them covered by a long shirt.
"Jack turn around now," Alyth ordered, and he made a frustrated grunt, before doing so. "Don't you ever knock? I told you I was coming to get changed."
"Sorry, guess I fergot," he mumbled, "ye know, if ye would rather walk around naked, ye can. I'm sure no one would mind at all."
She burst out laughing as he said this, "I'm sure no one would mind, no one but me of course, and probably Ana Maria. You can turn around Jack, I'm dressed."
Jack turned around and looked her over. She was wearing short pants that stopped at mid thigh, and a shirt that had no arms. "Well I spose that's close enough te bein naked," he whispered.
"Possibly, but at least it covers what I want covered," Alyth told him. "I need a cigarette," he heard her mumble, and then she was in her other pair of pants, pulling out the cigarettes and a lighter as she called it.
"Good thing I saw everything already then," Jack said, and saw her blush.
"Well what was so important that you had to barge in here while I was getting dressed?"
"Well, ummmm..." Jack trailed off, having forgotten. "I seem te have fergotten, luv."
Your hopeless Jack, completely hopeless," Alyth murmered.
"That's Captain Jack," he told her, a glimmer of playfulness in his eyes.
"You sure you want to keep playing Jack? Seems to me you keep losing," Alyth said.
"That's cause I be lettin ye win luv."
"Sure Jack, then win once."
Jack smiled slightly, and walked forward until he was almost standing on top of her. He looked down at her, and then leaned forward, his lips moving closer to hers. He saw her take a deep breath, her eyes were following his lips as he moved closer to her.
"Jack, sail-ho," some one yelled as they burst into the room. They sprang apart from each other quickly. The man eyed them both, looking from Jack to Alyth. "Sorry, din't mean te interrupt nothin."
"I need a cigarette," Alyth mumbled, making him laugh. It seemed whenever something strenuous happened, she needed one.
Jack glared at the man, then quickly walked out of the cabin. 'Damn Gibbs and his sense of timing,' he thought as he made his way to the helm. He stopped and released Ana Maria from the wheel, then picked up his spy glass and looked. A smile curved his lips upward, it was a merchant vessel. "Well me matey's, looks like we gonna have some fun," Jack yelled. "Miss Alyth, can you use a sword?" He called as she exited his cabin.
"Somewhat, but I'd rather sit this one out I think," she told him, and he nodded.
"That be fine, lock yerself in me cabin til we're done then," he told her, and with a nod she disappeared into his cabin. "Hoist the flag," he called, and smiled as a skull and cross bones began to flap in the wind as it was raised. Jack steered the Pearl next to the merchant ship, then called, "drop anchor, prepare to board." Ropes were throne to the other ship, successfully latching the Pearl to the merchant vessel. Jack stepped away from the helm as the anchor was dropped, and walked to the side of his ship. "We be the Black Pearl, and those that wish te live should give up," he yelled, and watched as the wide eyed sailors dropped their weapons at the mention of the Black Pearl. Jack smirked, and grabbed a rope, he then swung across to the merchant vessel, they had all surrendered. 'Good, no unwanted deaths then,' he thought as the rest of his crew swung or walked the plank over to the ship. "I need seven men to watch the prisoners, and the rest to search the ship," he called, and watched as a group of men walked over to the men sitting on the deck. He nodded and left them to it, as he walked to the Captain's quarters. His crew knew that he was the one to search the Captain's room, he always found maps he didn't have, and other trinkets he could use. With a smile he walked into the large cabin, and saw a wall of books and maps. "Gibbs," he called, and watched the large man waddle to him.
"What is it Cap'n?" He asked.
"I need some men te gather everythin on that wall," Jack said, and pointed at the shelves.
"Yesir," Gibbs said, and left. Jack continued searching the cabin, not finding anything else of value to him, until he found a beautiful necklace, it had a black pearl in the middle, and was surrounded by two diamonds on a silver chain. He pocketed it, and left the cabin.
"When the books and maps are loaded, we shall leave," he told his men watching the prisoners, then grabbed a rope and swung back to the Pearl. Tonight, they would celebrate.
