There'll be no livin' with her after this

Will pushed Elizabeth down on the bed, kissing her zealously. "God, I love you."
Elizabeth kissed him back, and then flipped him over, so that she was on top of him.
"Darling", she said, breathlessly. Will placed kisses along her neck, and started to untie the laces on her dress.
Elizabeth put her hand on Will's, stopping him. "What is it?" he said in breathless anticipation.
"We can't do this yet, my love", she said, and sat on the side of the bed.
"But, darling…"
"Oh, I desire to, except…" she turned and looked and him amorously. "The wedding is tomorrow. And…"
Will kissed her once more, and said, "Alright, love. You're just so irresistible."
She giggled, and was longing to stay, but decided it was best to leave before they became too lustful.
"Anyone seen Will and Elizabeth?" Jack asked intentionally.
"I haven't the faintest idea, love", Jade responded with a smile.
"You don't, now?" The Governor overheard them, and said in all sincerity.
"You don't believe he's serious?" Jade murmured.
"Just play along." Jack replied. "Oh, no, Governor, they're just out together; perfectly fine."
"Oui, I saw them a bit ago out on the, uh, terrace."
"Together, ye know."
"Ah", the Governor said. "I'll give them some privacy to talk, then."
As soon as the governor left, the two burst out laughing.
"Can you believe how serious he was, Jack?" she said, holding her side from laughing so hard.
"Aye. I can believe it. He's so bloody proper like that, eh?" Jack laughed again. "Out on the terrace! Talking! That's excellent…"
After calming down, Jade said, "Well, I'd fancy some drink, wouldn't you, Mr. Sparrow?"
"Oh, assuredly, Miss; tea. That's safe enough. How bout it?"
"I'm surprised at you, Mr. Sparrow. Not any rum?" She pouted a bit. "And I was looking forward to it."
"Well, in that case", Jack said, taking her arm, "I suppose a drop would be okay."
She lifted her eyes at him good-humoredly, and they stopped by the kitchen to get their drinks, then they went out on the terrace themselves.
'It would be quite humorous if they really were out here", Jade said in amusement.
"Perhaps I should check."
"Jack!"
"Well, it wouldn't be polite to stroll in on them, would it, love?" he said, and lightly kissed her cheek. He walked out on the terrace, and Jade waited for him.
"My God, have some propriety!" Jade heard Jack exclaim.
Jade rushed out, to find no one there. "Will? Jack?"
She felt someone come up behind her, putting their hands on her shoulders. She turned around.
"Why, you trickster!"
Jack gave her that devilish, alluring smile, and said, "Well, I finally got you."
They both laughed, and replenished themselves with some tea, and a bit of rum, which Jack actually did not drink a large amount of.
"Jade", Jack said suddenly. "This is the most enjoyment I've had in a very long time, savvy? Being with you. Just…"
"Jack, I…"
Jack cut her off with a kiss. The kiss grew more passionate.
"I…"
They ended for a second, breathing closely, and Jade continued, "I was afraid to…to come to this…more than that, to tell you, really, because I thought you were just like the rest…." She paused. "I love you."
Jack looked her in the eyes. "I love you too." He kissed her again, the kisses becoming more passionate, their bodies' close, as he placed kisses on her décolletage and the kisses moved farther, onto her chest—
"Wait, Jack."
Jack held back, in bated breath.
"This isn't the right time. With tomorrow, and everything. And this could be…too soon."
"I'm sorry love, I just couldn't resist."
She smiled. "Truthfully, neither can I", and she gently kissed him over again. Jack drew her close, his hands wandering.
"Now, now, Jack, not any of that."
"Well, I'd best escort ye to yer quarters afore I get too hopeful."
So Jack suavely accompanied Jade to the room she was staying in.
"Merci, Monsieur Sparrow."
"Tu es le bienvenue."
"Oh, tres bien. I see you've picked up un peu de Français."
"Oui, mademoiselle. I've known some here and there on my travels, ye know."
"Mmm Hmm. Good night."
"Good night."
Jack set off to his quarters, which was the room right across from Jade's.
Will laid back down on his bed after Elizabeth left, and sighed in contentment.
'She's so perfect. But, I'll have to keep control until tomorrow…'
He turned out the light, noticing that it was after 11:00 pm. He couldn't sleep; he was so anxious. After lying there for about 30 minutes, Will got up, turning the light on, and wrote a note. He opened the door, and went to Elizabeth's door. He lifted his hand to knock, but decided not to, for he thought it would be a bad idea if Elizabeth wanted to wait. Instead, he slid the note under the door.
Elizabeth was sitting in a chair, thinking about tomorrow; no—today. It was already three minutes past midnight.
She glanced to see a piece of paper on the floor. She stood up, and picked it up, reading it. It was from Will.
'Darling, I know it's late, but I didn't want to bother you. Are you as excited as I am? I love you. I can't wait until we are finally husband and wife tomorrow. Well, you should sleep. Good night, my love.'
Elizabeth folded the note, and put it her bouquet of roses Will had given to her.
