Chapter 3
Jess was up at the crack of dawn and got ready as quickly as possible for her big day. She was so excited that she had to go to the toilet about four times. As nine o'clock got closer and closer she couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to head to the bar and wait outside for Jack to arrive. As she approached the bar, she saw a figure standing outside, she wondered who it could be as there was usually no-one up at this hour. She got closer and saw that it was Jack.
"Hello luv! Didn't expect to see you so soon", he said smiling, showing the gold in his teeth.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't wait any longer. I was so excited so I decided to come a bit earlier". Said Jess.
"A bit earlier! You're an hour early! Oh well, that's alright. Means we can get away earlier than intended". Said Jack picking up your case.
"No, I can do it". Said Jess trying to get hold of the handle.
"It's alright luv, I've got it, it's not that heavy anyway".
"If you wish", she said letting go.
"Off to the Pearl then!", said Jack swaying down the street with Jess at his side. About five minutes later, they arrived at the docks, and the first thing Jess saw were the white, billowing sails of the Black Pearl.
"Wow! I've heard stories about this ship but I've never seen her, she's beautiful!". Exclaimed Jess wide eyed.
"Isn't she?", said Jack staring at his beloved ship. After about a minute, Jess realised that Jack was still staring at his ship.
"Jack.....", said Jess trying to get Jack out of his trance.
"JACK!". She said louder, and this time he turned to face her,
"Huh? Oh, sorry luv, forgot where I was for a second there, anyway, shall we?". Asked Jack, as he offered her his arm.
"We shall!", she replied taking it..
As they walked on board, Jack whistled loudly and every man on the ship came from where they were and stood around Jack and Jess.
"Alright men, we have a new crewmember. Her name is Jess and I want you all to treat her nice like. Anamaria, you can show her the ropes and tell her what everything is." .Said Jack.
"Aye Captain". Replied the woman. As Jess looked around, she saw that Anamaria was the only other woman on board, so she would at least have someone to talk to.
"Alright luv, I'll show you your sleeping quarters, follow me". Said Jack taking Jess's hand and pulling her towards a room. As he opened that door, Jess gasped at how beautiful the room was. The desk and chair were made from mahogany, and the bed looked very luxurious. All in all this room was one hundred times better than what she lived in in Tortuga.
"Are all the rooms like this?". Asked Jess still shocked. Jack chuckled and said,
"No luv, just mine, do you like it?".
"Your room", said Jess. "I'm sleeping in here? ...but there's only one bed".
"I know". Said Jack, not seeing the problem.
"I can't sleep in the same bed as you!". Said Jess astonished.
"It's alright luv, I was going to sleep on the floor. Unless you want to sleep with the crew?". Asked Jack, knowing exactly which option you would pick.
"Fine, I'll sleep here". Jess said, giving in finally.
"Good. Right then, I'll leave you to sort out your things, and when you come out, Anamaria will be waiting at the ropes to show you how everything works, savvy?". Jack said smiling.
"Okay". Replied Jess. When he was gone, Jess slumped on the bed and said to herself, "this is going to be one bumpy ride."
