Chapter 13: What's that Under the Floorboard?

Eventually the two of us fell asleep huddled together in that corner. I'm guessing that it got cold sometime in the night because I awoke to find myself laying on top of Jack with my arms around him tucked inside is jacket. I was extremely comfortable and I had my head rested on his muscular chest. Thoughts of what happened filled my head. What if I did let that kiss go further? Would he have his way with me and leave me in some port, or would it have been something more. I told myself, the day I had found myself on this ship that I would stay away from Jack Sparrow. He was hugging me, I sure did stay away. We kissed, I certainly did keep away. What was I going to do? Carry on like nothing happened? I looked up towards Jack, he looks so happy when he sleeps, I wonder what he is dreaming of. I wish I could just stay in this moment forever… While I laid there my mind wandered. As I was looking around the room I noticed a floorboard under one of the cupboards. It was sticking up just enough for me to see a cork stuck in a bottle. My eyes got wide as a realized what it was. "Rum!" I whispered to myself excitedly. I tried to get to it but Jack was holding me tight. I started to squirm and pull but he wouldn't let go. I was clawing at the ground trying to pull myself to it. "Jack! JACK! WAKE UP!" I started screaming.

"Five more minutes mom." He said dreamily.

"I'm not your mom!"

"What? What did you do with her."

"Nothing, she was never here!"

"Mom! WHERE ARE YOU!"

I soon gave up, I stared at the rum hoping that if I stare at it long enough I could make it come to me. Then I thought of something. I licked my finger and stuck it in his ear. He jumped a foot throwing me off him.

"What the 'ell was that for!" He screamed trying to get my spit out of his ear. I crawled for the rum so fast I almost hit my head on the cupboard. I reached under and lifted up the floorboard and grabbed the rum. Jack finally notice what I was doing and dived at me. I moved the rum away and looked for another bottle, there was none. Realizing that I needed to run if I wanted to keep the rum I got up and ran to the door. Jack grabbed my leg and sent me falling to the ground. I spun around and kicked him away. I opened the bottle and chugged half of it. "NOOOOOOO!" Jack screamed. I crawled for the door and Jack jumped on me. I wiggled away and finally reached the door. I was about to stand up and open it but it swung open before I could move hitting me right between the eyes.

"Ula I'm so sorry!" It was Will.

"Ahhhh! Move!" I screamed clutching my head.

"Get out of my way whelp, she's got me rum!" Jack screamed crawling after me. By the time Jack reached me there was only a sip left. "Come on luv, give Jack that last sip of rum." I stared at Jack, and then the rum, then at Jack, and back at the rum. Jack had this little pouty face on, his chocolate eyes were hypnotizing. I could feel myself extending my hand towards him. Trying to fight this I started bringing it back to me, then towards Jack. He looked like a puppy with someone teasing him with a piece of meat. I was about to hand it to Jack but quickly changed my mind and drank it. "NOOOO! That's it luv, I really hate to do this to you... but I'm locking you up in the brig!"

"The what?" I said sounding a little slurred. Some days are better than others when it comes to me holding my liquor.

"This is what happens when you take away Captain Jack Sparrow's rum!" He brought me down some stairs and around a couple of corners and we arrived in a moldy smelling leaky dungeon room.

"OH THE BRIG!" I said drunkly. He threw me inside and I plopped into the water making a splash. "Hey... I didn't lock you up when you stole my bottle of rum."

"Yes, but your not the captain."

"Good point..." I looked at the water and I scooped it up in my hands. I studied it for a second and threw it at the very pleased looking Jack. I stood up and began kicking water madly.

"MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

He hid his face from the splashes and when I was finished he gave me a dirty look, he was soaked.

"Alright luv, I'm going to leave you down here for a couple days so you can think about what you've done."

"What's thinking?" I asked dumbly. Jack just looked at me for a minute. He gave me that spine chilling look again. It would have had more of an effect on my if I wasn't drunk. I looked around my cell and found a small metal cup floating in the water. I picked it up and started dragging it across the bars. clink, clink, clink, clink, clink

"Don't do that." Jack ordered.

"Do what? This?" I said dragging the cup across the bars.

"Yes that."

"Yest, do it." I said continuing making the noise.

Jack rolled his eyes and walked away saying, "I'm not letting you out of there until we reach port royal and get rum."

"Yummm... rum..." I said looking dazed.

"I need to get rid of ye somewhere before ye make me loose my mind completely." I heard him say and he turned a corner.

I sat in my cell singing, "You are an idiot, ha! ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa! You are an idiot! Ha! Ha ha ha haaaa!" Soon sleep over came me and I dreamed a lovely dream about Jeffrey my lovely dog from Port Hobo.
