Chapter 16
My cigarettes will get wet!
"Nice te see ye finally awake luv," he said, giving her a quick kiss.
"How long have I been out?" She asked sleepily.
"Not long, 'bout an hour."
"Where are my pants?"
"Over there luv," Jack smirked as he pointed two feet away from them. Alyth rolled over, wiggling out of Jacks arms, and grabbed her pants. She reached into the pouch and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Sticking two cigarettes in her mouth she lit them both at the same time and offered the second lit one to Jack.
"Thank ye luv." She smiled and blew a smoke ring.
"Any time."
"How'd ye do that?" Jack asked shocked.
"What? Oh, my smoke ring? Well it's kind of difficult to teach. Umm what you do is inhale like normal, and then make your mouth in an O shape, then you kind of click your jaw, like this." She demonstrated again, and laughed as Jack just looked annoyed. He took a drag, inhaled, made an O shape, and then blew the smoke out regularly. Alyth giggled at him. Jack made a pouty face at her and she tried to calm her laughter. "Aw, don't worry Jack, just takes practice." He shrugged and continued smoking. "Where can I take a bath around here Jack?"
"Well I think I saw a small lagoon over there." Jack pointed over her shoulder. She smiled and quickly gets up to investigate. And there it sits, it was a beautiful little lagoon. The water was crystal clear; she could see the sandy bottom as she slipped a toe in to check the water temperature. It was perfectly warm, and she slid gleefully into the water. It covered her to her neck, but she could still see everything because of the clear water. Alyth sighed blissfully, the water lapping around her body. Closing her eyes she drifted peacefully, until a surge of water rushed over her head.
"What the hell," she sputtered, rubbing her eyes.
"Sorry luv, couldn't help it," Jack said.
"Uh huh," she grumbled. Finally clearing the water from her eyes, she opened them to see a naked Jack lying in the pool with her. "Well I suppose it's okay, you needed a bath anyway, beginning to smell." Alyth giggled as Jack rushed her. She quickly swam to the other side of the pond trying to get away from him. When she reached the other side she realized her dilemma, there was no where for her to go.
"Guess yer caught luv," Jack murmured as he dunked her under the water. As she surfaced she screeched and jumped at him, not expecting this Jack went down himself, and came up sputtering and coughing madly. "I'll get ye fer that lass."
"You have to catch me first," she cried diving around him and swimming away. The pond was much too small to get far however, and he caught her leg, pulling her to him.
"Caught ye."
"No fair," she cried indignantly as he picked her up.
"Pirate," he whispered, leaning down and kissing her softly. She smiled into his kiss, and kissed him back. Alyth wrapped her arms around his neck and played with his wet hair.
"Time to clean up, pirate," she said, breaking their kiss and turning him around.
"Hey," he growled as she began to undo his braids and pull out his beads.
"I'll redo it all, no worries."
"Ye had better," he said, standing compliantly and letting her take out his braids. Alyth worked quickly, and after about a half hour had his hair completely down. She used her fingers and brushed through his dark, lanky locks.
"All done," she said, and he turned around and kissed her. "No no, rinse your hair out." She pushed him back, laughing as he splashed into the clear water. Alyth sank down next to him and massaged his scalp, trying to work the grease and dirt out.
"That's nice," he murmured, sighing as she worked.
"All done, and I think we should probably head back now, I think we're late." Alyth stood from the water and walked to the shore, Jack right behind her. She collected his beads that she had left on the shore and stuck them in a pouch in her pants. "I'll redo your braids later Jack." He nodded and they dressed quickly. When they made it back to the beach a half an hour later they received stares from the crew.
"We thought ye'd gotten lost Cap'n," Ana smirked as they walked into the crowd. "But I can see what ye been up to." Alyth unconsciously brought her hand to her wet hair, and blushed.
"Where's Will?" Alyth asked, noticing he was missing.
"He went missin not long afta we left," Gibbs said, "we looked fer him, but we couldn't find no trail."
"Well then treasure be damned, we must find Will, and then we'll get the treasure," Jack pronounced to the stunned crew. "Same groups as before, meet back in two hours, move out." Jack grabbed Alyth around the waist and motioned for cotton and Kent to follow them.
Will watched them from the cover of the trees. He heard Jack's announcement and felt kind of bad, but he couldn't help it. He didn't understand how Alyth had given herself to that cretin, he would just use her and leave her. "But I love her, not Jack," Will whispered as Jack put his arm around her. He had escaped from his group a little while after they had left, taking off in the direction Alyth had gone. He thought he was lost, until he heard the waterfall. He thought he would die as he saw them together, Will knew Jack needed to be taught a lesson, he couldn't go around breaking heart's, especially Alyth's.
"Where could he have gone?" He heard an angelic voice say, and knew it was Alyth.
"I dunno luv, but I'm worried about him, he shoulda been back by now," Jack said. Every time he called her luv it made Will cringe, he didn't love her, he had no right to call her that.
"I love her, not him," Will whispered, and suddenly there they were in front of him, his angel and the cretin, the embodiment of stupidity. He hated Jack, and he would do anything he could to win Alyth, and show her exactly what Jack was.
"Will there you are, I was worried," she said, running to him and giving him a hug.
"I got lost, but I made it back to the beach," he said innocently.
"Well dun' do that again, I wouldn't wanna lose ye again," Jack said, clapping him on the back.
"Sorry Jack, didn't mean to worry you all. Should we find the treasure now?" Will asked, and smirked as Jack nodded vigorously.
