Marie screamed, and she had every right to!

This man… this stranger, in MY house… she thought

He jerked awake immediately. " Mmpph! What the bloody he…." He shot up. He was a rather

comical site! His hat went flying of his face when he bolted upright. His hair was a mess, with

dreadlocks going in all direction. He blinked around slowly, his tired brain trying to focus and

process what was going on.  He finally saw her.

 "WHOA!" he shouted and jumped to his feet. "Where did you come from? " He asked looking

at her strange " Wait! Don't answer that, I think the heat has finally gotten to my brain!" He took

 a step forward, more talking to himself than to her " Yes! That must be it; you're only a delusion.

I got so hot today, that I'm losing my mind and I'm having hallucinations! "  He took another step,

and Marie started to panic.

" Step no closer! I mean it. " She hoped she looked more confident than she felt.

He was looking at her funny again " Your so beautiful…surely I'm still dreaming." He continued

to advance like he was in a trance.

"Please…stop." Marie said again. She started to step backward for each step he took forward.

She bumped into the table and had nowhere else to go. Marie thought that he looked very

handsome in the firelight, even though she was frightened of him.

"What do you want from me?" She whispered

I'm going to have to act more sure of myself if I  want him to take me seriously  She thought

"Well ?! Answer me! " She squared her jaw and looked straight into his eyes assuredly.

 I think that was much better if I do say so myself.

 This seemed to break him from the trance. He shook his head and blinked " Oh..umm..well…

 I wandered in out of the heat earlier today. "

"Oh! And made yourself comfortable in my bed too I see! She advanced a step on him and

 felt her confidence rising a little more.

"Well of course, love." He half-smiled at her and raised his eyebrow in a cocky way that seemed

 was his usual attitude instead of the trance like, quiet way he had approached her with earlier.

He advanced a step on her, now they were only about two feet apart. He was even more handsome

up close, and she felt her confidence going out the window.

 " Well uhh…..umm….now see here…..uhh…well…what's your name then? " She had run out

of intimidating thing to say and now (to her frustration) she was feeling painfully shy. She stepped

forward again, hoping it would make him step back and give her a little more courage. No such

luck, in fact he seemed to like it and  he moved a bit closer , narrowing the distance to about seven

inches.

" I'm  Captain Jack Sparrow! I'm sure you've heard of me! "  He grinned insolently.

 " Umm.. no sorry. I've been stranded on this island for three years now."

"I see. And what's your name?"

"Marie." 

"  Marie…" He said it like he has rolling it around in his mouth to see if he liked the  sound

 " Very lovely name." 

They stood there staring at each other. She found herself falling into his eyes….they were so

deep….so beautiful….you could get lost in them forever…

Wait!  She thought what am I doing? He's a pirate and a trespasser!  

She cleared her throat  " Well then, get OUT of my house! "

"Why" he was still staring at her

" Because, it's my house, you're a stranger and obviously a pirate!" She stepped around him

 " Ahh!" She spotted his gun, hat and other affects lying in a pile. She walked to it and picked all

 his stuff up, and she could feel his eyes on her the whole time.

 " Here's your rubbish! " She told him as she walked back and practically shoved it into his arms.

 " Now get! " 

He looked at her with an almost pouty look on his face "You couldn't possibly to turn me out

into the cold in the middle of the night. I know your not that heartless love!" He took his hat

and put it on his head. "Especially when you have a face like that!" He smiled.

She snorted " Oh, please! I'm not going to fall for your shameless flattery!" She told him, even

though she felt her knees turn to jelly when he said it and as hard as she tried to repress it, a big

grin came to her face

 " Uh-huh, that's what I thought." He gave her a knowing look.

Wow, he's arrogant!  

She grabbed his shoulders and turned him toward the door.

" I  can  turn you out, I  will  turn you out, and  yes, my heart is as cold as a stone! " She said,

pushing him toward the door.

"But what if I get attacked by a wild animal?"  He smirked at her over his shoulder. She knew

he was just trying to be cute.

She laughed despite herself. " There are no dangerous wild animals on this island!" 

Unless you count yourself she thought. 

They approached the door and opened it, pushing him out.

"I guess if you want , "I can meet with you tomorrow and help you build your own hut…"  

She said from the other side of the threshold.

" That would be nice of you. Thanks." He smiled a little.

"All right hen I guess I'll see you in the morning then.

"  I still can't believe your turning me out tonight…" He whined.

" Goodnight Mr. Sparrow" she said, and shut the door. 

" It's  Captain Sparrow" She heard him yell at the door.

She watched through the window as he walked through the night, muttering to himself

 " This is going to be interesting…" She said to herself and turned to make  herself some dinner.
