-I do not own POTC, I just write about it.-

Nicole watched him as he told his story, her mouth agape. Even someone with the most open mind wouldn't believe this story, but yet she needed something to do on her vacation other then go on every single ride three times. He knew she wouldn't believe one word that came from him, he wasn't even sure why he had exactly blurted out Jack and his secret, but he had. She took in a breath, thinking about what to say to him now.

"..All right..I'll help you...But if you try to take me onto your pirate ship, I swear to god I will make you into a woman faster then you can say ahoy." She quirked a brow at him, wondering if since he was from another time if he would understand what she meant. He eyed her curiously, and nodded slowly.

"..Thank you..Would you like to come and meet Jack?" He pulled himself up off the cool rock, feeling the heat beating through the tree branches already. She nodded and quickly stood up with him.

"I think I should" She began to head out of the clump of trees. He followed quickly behind her, moving limbs out of her way for her to get out, leaving a hand behind to help her.

"Here, let me help you" He spoke quick, but his voice held so much romance in it. She placed her hand in his, stepping over a small rock and stepping out onto the boardwalk once again. She smiled at him, as he moved beside her, still holding her hand in his.

"..Thank you.." She glanced back down to his hand and hers, and then back into his eyes. He was still staring down at her, she reminded him so much of Elizabeth, and yet she didn't, it confused him so deeply that he wasn't sure if he should kiss her or walk several feet away from her. He slowly pulled his hand from hers, and turned heading back towards the hotel.

"You're welcome...Jack is back this way..."

She nodded. Following him at his side as he walked down the boardwalk. People's eyes followed them as they continued down the boardwalk, their feet in step with each others. As they came closer to the resorts pools they could hear a woman's scream and a loud slap.

"What was that?" She eyed the pool area curiously, wondering what had just happened. Will stared angered towards the pool, he had a feeling he knew what had just happened, or what Jack had just done. Suddenly his concentration was broken when Nicole grabbed his hand, and pointed to a man who had just been thrown out of the pool area, and into a puddle of pool water.

"Look!" As she held his hand, he ran his thumb over the back of her hand, her touch as soft as silk. He almost lost his concentration altogether again. Suddenly he was being pulled towards the man on the ground.

"Isn't that your friend?"

"Huh?" He was brought out of the daze, and then he looked down to see Jack spitting pool water out of his mouth like a fountain.

"Jack?" He asked astonished.

"Hello mate" He stood up, ringing some water out of his shirt and pants.

"What did you do to her?" He looked at him accusingly, and all he simply did was smirk.

"I was only having a polite conversation with her and it seemed she didn't like the manly pirate that I am, so she denied my offer and we went our separate ways" He gave a slight run of his fingers over his beaded beard.

"Yes, and your way was getting thrown face first into a puddle of water by the life guards" Nicole smirked, she hadn't spoke up since they had found him but it seemed she had been waiting for the perfect moment to open her mouth. Her left hand was laid upon her hip lightly as she stared at him. Will was angry with how Jack had behaved with the woman, it seemed that Jack cared more about women then anything else in the world, well except for gold of course. Will now looked down at Nicole, a smile laid across his lips. Jack had just now realized that she was there when she spoke up.

'A quick whited Lass, and a beauty to boot, obviously Will's little love quest...But who says anything is written down in stone' He thought to himself as he eyed her up and down.

"I don't think we've met...And you are?" He took her hand into his, giving it a kiss on the back of the palm, obviously trying to be suave right now. She raised a curious brow at him.

"..Nicole, and you must be the infamous Jack, Will has told me all about you" A smirk played upon her lips, leaving Jack to guess if she knew about how he was with women or if she was just bluffing.

"Oh did he?..Well does that mean you are now infatuated with my dear friend over here?" He loved her spunk.

"Big word, you surprise me...Plus I just met your dear Will, so we're not infatuated with each other" She eyed the fact that he still held her hand in his. He eyed Will, he could see his lips were clenched, he was obviously mad at how he was treating her right now. Suddenly he pulled her hand, bringing her into his chest. He brought his arms out under her legs and twirled her around.

"Well I guess that I am going to have to run off with you before you become infatuated with my dear friend, aye?" He smirked. She simply gave a roll of her eyes, as she crossed her arms around her chest.

"Sorry Jack, I don't sleep with men I just met" His expression changed into a sarcastic and yet disappointed look.

"Damn, and I wanted to get ya in my bed tonight, what will I do with myself?" Will had by now had enough, Jack had no right to mess around with her like that.

"You could put her down" Nicole looked over to Will, a smile on her face. Jack watched his expression, he was pissed off right now, good at least he wouldn't be depressed, anything was better then that. Jack just gave a shrug, and stood in front of Will.

"Oh all right, if you say so" At that he tossed her up a bit and let her drop to the ground. Will quickly caught her in his arms, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They both looked at Jack who was now walking away, arms behind his head as if nothing had just happened.

"Would you mind if I killed him?" She spoke with a threatening and yet sarcastic tone.

"Just as long as I get a chance to hurt him as well" He continued looking forward as he spoke, but a smile grazed his lips. She looked down at him, smiling.

"Of course, do you think I would kill him without letting you help?" He looked over at her, laughing a lightly.

"Do you think we should follow him and make sure he doesn't cause anymore..Trouble?" She accentuated on the trouble part. He nodded, and slowly let down.

"..Thanks..." She looked into his eyes, her hands releasing his neck and trailing down his chest a bit. She hadn't even noticed what she had done, it was like her body had done something her mind wasn't aware about.

"..You're welcome...I'm sorry how he acted towards you, he always acts that way around beautiful women" His own eyes looked into hers, not being able to look away.

"..It's all right.." She laughed lightly at the comment about beautiful women. Her cheeks began to turn a rose hue, nobody had ever called her a women before, except her grandmother, but then she had also continued that in a sentence about her finally getting breasts.

"..I guess I should take what he did as a compliment...Am I really beautiful?" They looked intently into each other's eyes. He took in a deep breath, nodding in response to her.

"Are you two going to come along or are you going to kiss each other passionately?" Jack spoke from a distance, staring at them both with a smirk. They both looked to him, and then to Nicole's hands upon Will's chest. She quickly pulled them off, letting then drop to her sides, as she stared at the ground, hoping it would open up and swallow her up. Will just stared away, he felt as if he had betrayed Elizabeth.

"I was apologizing for how you were acting, nothing more" Will spoke up, and followed after Jack, not even bothering to wait for her. Maybe if he kept his distance it would make up for what just almost happened. Nicole looked up, watching him go on before her.

'God what are you thinking? He's some crazy loon and here you are lusting after him, god what is wrong with you?!' She thought to herself, as she forced her legs on after them both. It felt like a thousand years by the time she had finally reached them, and they weren't more then a foot away.

"Took ya long enough, day dreaming about me were ya?" He winked at her. She looked up at him, a scowl on her face.

"Oh yea..Now where are we going exactly?" She was more embarrassed then anything else, and that caused her to be so sarcastic.

"Well I'm hungry and thirsty, how about you two?" His stomach grumbled. He could use a good meal, a good drink, and some good company for the night, but he had a feeling he would only get two of those. Will nodded in response, feeling guilty about how he had just treated her after she had put so much trust in him.

"Not really, but I could go for a drink...Wait how do you expect to pay for this exactly?" She asked cautiously, afraid of the answer she was about to get. Jack just began to smirk and she knew that this was not going to be a good answer.

"Who said anything about paying?" He then looked to Will, obviously discussing some kind of plan on how to get the food and drinks.

"No way! I'm staying here, I am not going to get arrested for you two stealing food and drinks! If anything I'll...God I can't believe I'm saying this...I'll buy the food for you, all right?" Jack glanced back at her, either way he would get what he wanted, it wasn't like he had a problem with her paying for it.

"Fine with me, now lead on my beautiful lass" He parted the way for her to lead the way. She just gave a roll of her eyes, and walked forward.

"Come on your pansy pirates" She continued on, making sure to miss the pool area again, she didn't need Jack to get into trouble again, especially not with her around to take the blame.

'God what am I getting myself into?!' She thought to herself as she brought them into one of the many dinning rooms.
