passes out nummies.
Annnd since today is my special day, why not make it Charlie's too? She'll turn thirteen, and finally get that kiss!! (oh yes, just because her and Jack have kissed before, she's not about to let him break his promise. oooo, sneaky sneaky girrrl.)
Since Charlie is thirteen...Jack is...nineteen! wow, I guess this is his last chance for teen angst. Shocker. After this i'll have to make Jack Sparrow Jack Sparrow. coool.
I give you- Chapter Nine: Promises must be kept, and perhaps...elongated and refreshed?
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Considerin' I don' know me own birthday....I figure I can just make one up. I suppose its easy, ye just pick a day an' thats that. But im thinkin' I should let th' crew know. So's they's can get me presents.
I don' think ive ever had a real present before.
Nan wasn't much into that sort ' stuff. Said she was tired o' birthdays and celebratin' is for fools. Ye just gets older an' older....
Boy, im right glad im gettin' older. This is goin' to be me thirteenth year,...Jack has better keep his promise. I want that kiss.
I feel me cheeks heat up an' I can't help but smile.
Jack. Jack Sparrow.
Dark Brown hair...Dashin' smile, an' those eyes. Oh those eyes. So warm an' twinkly. I don' see how women can controll themselves.
If I was them, i'd be throwin' meself at 'im and beggin' him for a kiss.
But since im me, I can't go an' do things like that. Lord, if I did that, an' th' crew saw...Either i'd never hear th' end of it, or they'd throw me overboard.
No, I can't do things like that. No matter 'ow much I wants to.
I realize me foots gone an' fallen alseep, an' shift it so its hangin' out o' me cot. Next to me Joe snores an' I hear th' sound o' Fig's pillow whacking Joe in th' face. He grunts an' turns over.
I feels a giggle swellin' in me throat, but I put me hand over me mouth an' stare into th' dark. Then I slowly slide me feet out an' onto the floor, an' sit up.
I listen to th' snorin' and heavy breathin' o' the rest o' the crew. They all sound alseep...I tiptoe to th' door, an' open it enough to slide through.
At once the ocean air hits me an' I take a deep breath. Today, I thinks. Today. I'll make me birthday today.
Oh boy, I feel like shoutin it out to th' world! But insted I whisper under me breath.
"I gots me a birthday."
A large wave rocks th' ship.
I remember that Jack's got th' First Light watch, an' set off to find 'im. He must be awefully bored...Ill tell 'im about me new birthday.
I wonder if he'll give me a present!
Boy its cold. I shiver an' wrap me arms around meself. I sure hope this fog don' keep up. Wouldn' want me birthday to be spoiled by th' weather.
I hear voices an head toward them. But somethin' don' seem right. I crouch down an' creep towards some tied down crates. Th' voices are comin' from th' other side!
"Listen now Jack, th' rumors say that th' ship is captained by Johnny Tooth."
Mannie? I lean forward, pearin' through a crack between two crates. All I can see is th' back o' Jack's.....arse.
"Aye, i've heard that one too. Did ye find out where they make berth?"
"I was told o' two possible places."
"Possible? Mannie, possible ain't good enough. I need facts."
"Aye, Jack. Me own thoughts exactly. But hear this- One o' the places is the Archiparata."
"Th' Archiparata?!"
I frown. Archiparata?
"Aye, I was just as surprised as you."
"No ones dared sail those shark infested waters for decades."
"They..they do somethin' terrible Jack. Terrible enough to give a grown man nightmares."
"What?"
"Its how they get through the waters unscathed....They feed people to th' sharks."
I gasp. Th' devil's work! Me heart races an' me stomache feels empty yet full o' heavy stones at th' same time. I feel sick all over.
"How?" Was Jack's weak reply.
"Whores, cabin boys,.....hired men. Jack, 'ow could a man do somethin' like that?"
Jack was silent for a minute, but when 'e did speak, it was a faint whisper. I had to lean forward to catch what he was sayin'.
"Im goin' to stop this man."
I feel me breast swellin' with pride.
"Th' crew will be up soon, is that all Mannie?"
"Ay-no."
"Go on Mannie."
"Jack, have ye noticed th' change in Charlie around ye?"
I look up sharply. Jack chuckles.
"She's a bit smitten w' me."
"Have ye done anythin' to provoke her affections?"
"Well..."
I roll me eyes. Well lets see, there was those kisses, an' th' sly looks that made me blush, th' feather light carresses, oh, an' the whispered complements. All o' which were followed with Jack's smug laughter.
"Well??" Mannie was mad. Real mad.
"Yes. Sometimes things would happen, I had no controll over them what so ever."
I silently snort.
"Jack, do ye know what'll 'appen if ye break Charlie's heart?"
"You'll cut off me manhood an' force me to wear dresses?"
"Worse."
I can just see Jack's eyebrows goin' up.
"Worse?"
"Much worse."
"How much worse can ye get?"
"Ill sell you to a man, who'll make you his love slave."
"Love slave? Really now Mannie, surely you don' mean-"
"I mean every bit an' piece. Th' next time ye think o' doin' somethin' that might hurt Charlie, think o' bein' a eunuch, wearin' dresses, an' bein' a love slave."
"Believe me Mannie, I will. Just th' dress part makes me feel sick."
I think o' Jack bein' a eunuch love slave that wears dresses, and bite me tongue to keep from laughing.
:::::Do ye like me dress master? Shall I dance for ye?::::::
Oh dear. I stop.
Mannie 'as quite an' imagination! Would 'e really do that? To Jack?? Good lord, I can't have me future lover bein' a love slave!
I almost come out an' confess to me evesdroppin' but I come u with a better plan.
I come up out o' me crouch, an' back away, back to where I first heard th' voices.
"Jack?"
I step forward, lookin' around me.
"Charlie that you?"
I pretend like im relieved an' walk forward.
"Jack, I can't hardly see a damn thing!"
I hear him chuckle.
"Are ye laughin'??"
I growl an' walk a few feet.
"I gots somethin' to tell ye!"
"Well then, out with it Charlie."
"Fine. Today's me birthday!"
Silence.
"But you said ye didn't know your birthday."
"Aye, I didn't, but I decided to choose one for meself."
"An' today''s th' day you decided on is it?"
"Aye."
"Well then, we shall celebrate."
I felt a soarin' in me heart an' head, an' tripped over me own foot. I landed with a thud on th' wood deck, Jack's boot under me left breast.
I groan. Damn fog. Once ye thinks its your friend, it turns around an' trips ye!
Jack's boot is bitin' painfully into me flesh. He leans down an' takes a hold o' me with his hands placed interestingly right under me breasts.
Me entire body heats up. Thank the damned this fog is here.
I hear a low chuckling. I close me eyes.
"Jack."
"Yes love?"
"Let me go."
"Eh? Are ye not-comfy-??" I open me eyes and glare into th' fog. Curse me bad luck.
"Ye know Charlie, perhaps I should give ye your birthday present now, mm?"
I swallow. I know that tone. Thats th' tone Jack uses when 'e comes u behind me an' brushes aside me hair. When he puts 'is other hand on me hip. When 'e whispers into me ear, tellin' me o' tart apples, firm an' ripe, juicy an' crisp. When 'e tells me about bitin' into that apple, an' lickin' up all the sweet juice.
I shiver, an' know that Jack is smilin'.
"Oh yes, I should give it to you now."
He gently removes one o' his hands, lightly brushin' up against me breast, comin' up to me throat an' caressin' me neck.
I feel as if I can't breath, can't swallow, can't do anything.
"Jack-" I gasp out.
Jack..why is Jack doin' this?
"Shh, love."
He turns me around, liftin' me chin up with 'is hand. I looks up into his eyes.
Oh my. What do I do? What do i-
Jack leaned down an' kissed me. A soft kiss in th' corner o' me mouth. He pulls back, just enough to 'ave his lips hovering over mine.
"That is for me promise to kiss ye when ye turn thirteen."
Then he bent down again an' kissed me fully on th' mouth. I close me eyes an' kiss back.
I ain't never been kissed like this before.
His lips are pullin' at me own lips, an' me own lips are pullin' at his. Me hands go up to 'is chest and grab fistfuls o' his shirt, pullin' him closer.
He tangles 'is hands in me hair, pressin' harder into me mouth.
I feel all light headed an' me knees start to buckle. Then Jack pulls away, a smirk on 'is face.
"That was for ye birthday."
I nod. Gasping.
"Don't exect me to be kissin' ye like that again."
I look up. Jack's breathin' is heavy, I can see 'is chest heavin' up an' down.
"W..What?"
I stutter. Jack sighs, reachin' out an' tuckin' a piece o' hair behind me ear.
"Your young love, very young."
Then 'e turns an' walks away. I stand there, watchin' him go.
I let out a choked sob.
