Hehe….avoids bashing readers Yeah…I know….a whole month…but I was on vacation for a week and I've been swamped with work ever since! But, for Renee's sake….I bring you a new chapter….and IM far too lazy and blissfully happy that I get to see my best friend John tomorrow to write a disclaimer so nyeah.
As Renee and Will ambled along the ship, they talked of many things. The weather, Port Royale, Will's adventures with Jack…After about 2 hours, Renee's father happened to run into them and confronted Renee.
"But father, I would never!"
"Mr. Gillette said that he saw you there! Now, I didn't see you, but I want your word…"
"On my word Papa, I wasn't in that cell with Jack Sparrow! I swear! Why would I be there anyway?"
"My thoughts exactly…he must have been seeing things….on your way tehn. WAIT! Why are you out of your room?" Will answered this for her.
"I went in to speak with her, and she looked terribly bored. It's not good to leave a young girl locked up alone for so long…So I thought maybe you wouldn't mind if we went for a little walk…just for some air. After all, how can I resist a stroll with such a beautiful lady?" Will finished, looking at Renee with big, lovey eyes. She was extremely confused by this time, but she decided to just smile and look as if she knew exactly what he was talking about. She did so. Her father looked at the two of them strangely, his gaze drifting to their intertwined hands. He sighed, nodded, and walked away. As soon as he was out of sight and earshot, Renee untangled her hands from Will's and glared at him.
"What was THAT about!?!" Will chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, preparing to explain himself.
"Well…you see…Everyone knows that me and Elizabeth have had some…err…troubles recently." Renee looked shocked.
"I didn't know! What happened?"
"We just decided it wasn't working out. So, I'm a free man again." Renee's shock turned to disgust.
"Will Turner, if you think for one second that I-" Will cut her off.
"No! You see, if your father thinks you're...er…involved…with me, then he won't suspect you of loving Jack. As long as we play this little game, he'll allow you to move around the ship with me and grant us time alone…time enough for you to visit with Jack." Renee grinned.
"You're brilliant Will! I love you!" She flung her arms around his neck and he returned the hug, smiling at her sudden change of mood.
"Yes, well, you're going to have to pretend to, anyway." He laughed. They joined hands again and headed towards the galley, as it was nearing time for dinner.
After a large dinner, Renee returned to her cabin and Will to his, each impatiently awaiting the hour of eleven. Renee sat in her room contemplating many things. Most ly Jack.
'Silly, foolish girl. Does he love you? Surely not. He's a pirate! Lustful…dangerous. Not loving. Not supportive…not caring. A pirate. A ravaging, pilfering, bloodthirsty pirate. But then again, Jack's different from anyone else I've ever met. He's not like what you would expect from a pirate…HE DOES seem to care about some things at least. And, if he ever ravaged…would he not have done it by now? He seemed to do his best to protect her…maybe he did have some sort of feeling for her. Hell, maybe he even loved her. She was so confused. As she sat in her whirl of thoughts, arguing inwardly with herself, she heard three short raps on the door, and then saw Will slowly open the door and motion for her to come out. She followed him closely, thanking God that she had such a good friend.
When they finally reached the brig, Will held a small bottle under the sleeping guard's nose, ensuring that he would STAY asleep…for a while, anyway. Renee turned and hugged Will again, kissing him on the cheek before turning to go down the stairs.
"Well it's about bloody time, woman!" Jack almost yelled as she descended into his view.
'Tsk, Tsk Jack!" She chided. 'You shouldn't insult she who brings your food." After this statement Renee preduced from beneath her cloak a large bucket full of bits of this and that she was able to salvage from dinner leftovers and a bottle of rum. Jack's eyes got wide as he saw what was surely a feast after not eating in two days, and hurried her to open the cell door. She did so, closed and locked it behind her, and sat down very close to him.
"Luv, you are truly amazing. Look at this food! And RUM!" Renee snickered and handed the food over, moving to the other side of the cell and watching as Jack gobbled down the meal. As he started to chug the bottle of rum Renee held out her hand and simply stated, " Gimme some." Jack reluctantly handed her the bottle and she took a few large gulps before handing it back.
"Luv…you almost drank it all!" Jack pouted.
"Relax, Jack," she soother, moving over to sit next to him again and bringing a second bottle of amber liquid from under her cloak. "I brought another." Jack laughed and wrapped his arm around the girl once again, nuzzling his face into her neck. "Ye know me too well." As much as Renee was enjoying this attention, she slowly pulled away and sat so that she was facing the pirate before beginning the question that had been bothering her for a while now.
"Jack…I need to talk to you."
"About what?"
"About…about us. I mean, I know I come down here and we're close and all…but…you ARE a pirate Jack. And I've been hurt too many times before. I don't want to get involved in a relationship for lust that won't last. I guess what I mean is….Do you love me, Jack?" She looked up from her hands, anxiously awaiting his answer. Jack sighed an stared at the longneck bottle in his hand.
"Love. That's a mighty powerful word Renee…and one that hasn't been used a lot in my life. My parents didn't love me, and the only love I've ever been able to feel is the love I have for my ship and the sea. And rum. Not much to build a life on, I know, but it's all I've ever known. And then I met you, and I was totally blown away. I'd never met anyone like you, and I was scared about how I felt. It was different, but good. Everyone defines the word 'love' differently. If you'd define it as feeling so totally and wholly devoted to a person that you'd die keep them safe, do anything to make them happy, and give them more respect than any other human being in the world…If that's how you'd define love….to only want to keep that person safe and happy and be close to them, then…Yes, Renee. I love you more than anything."
The tears that had welled up in Renee's eyes as Jack spoke finally rolled down her face. She blinked her wet eyes, and tried to speak, but she couldn't. She had hoped that Jack would say that he loved her, but she had never expected him to spill like that. It was beautiful. She moved closer to him again. After a moment she was able to regain her voice and she spoke softly.
"I…what I mean is….that was…-" She suddenly just flung her arms around Jack's neck and pressed her lips to his. The sweet yet so long awaited kiss held out for several minutes before she broke away and said, "I love you too, Jack." He just smiled and captured her lips again, and the two stayed as such for quite a while. Finally, Jack stretched out and Renee lay down beside him, smiling as her wrapped his arm tightly across her upper stomach area, keeping her close to his warm body. She willed herself not to fall asleep, but the safe feeling of being with jack and the steady beating of his heart mixed with the soothing feeling of his shallow breathing on her back was too much, and she slowly drifted off.
'she's been down there a while…' Will thought to himself as he sat guard outside the main entry to the cells. The back exit could only be opened from the inside, so he wasn't worried. However, he figured Renee probably wasn't coming back by now, so he slowly slunk off toward Renee's room, locking the bring door behind him. Once in her room, he prodded around a bit and found the key. Quickly exiting, he locked the door behind him so as to give the illusion that Renee was inside and asleep. He almost ran back to the brig and entered, intending to say goodnight to Jack and Renee. Upon reaching Jack's cell, however, he found the Renee lying quite wrapped up in Jack's arms, a smile lighting up her sleeping features. He sighed, shaking his head as he looked at the two of them. "I respect your decision, jack. She's a fine lass. But, hurt her, and I just may have to kill you." With his warning made to the sleeping pirate, Will left the two alone and sat himself down in the shadow at the top of the stairs so that he could warn Renee if he heard anyone coming. It was going to be a long night.
A/N: Ha! I really liked this chapter…Hope you all do, too! I need a favor, though. First of all, review. Second….I really need to know how to make things come up in bold and italics on this site. It's really important to the other story I'm working on, "I'd Die for Her." I also need a better title for that one, if anyone can help me out. Please though, can anyone tell me about the bold and italics?!? Thanks much! Love you all to bits! Xoxo Sadie
