Chapter 4: Catalina
A night of passion was all Jack needed to fall in love
with Jessica, or so he thought. He proposed to her his second
day on the ship. He gave her his ruby ring as an engagement ring.
They set the wedding to be two weeks after they were outside of
Tortuga.
"Jess, don't ye think this is just a li'l to
soon?" Kat asked as they came into port.
"Maybe a li'l but
I gotta feelin' tha' Jack & I have a connection. Kinda like,
I don't know, we were made fer each other." Jess said. "Alright,
ye all 'ave fun but be back 'ere in two days, savvy?"
"Aye!"
the crew shouted & soon they had dwindled off into no one but
Jack & Jess.
"I'm gonna go get supplies where ye gonna
be?" Jess asked Jack.
"I'm gonna wait fer me Pearl &
when she comes in I'm gonna go ta a bar called Trick Pony, Fallen
Angel is out fer repairs. Meet me there. Savvy?" Jack said.
"Savvy." She stated & left to go to the market square &
get supplies. Jack watched her leave & couldn't help but wonder
what he was doing. He didn't love her in the way he had a day ago
when he was drunk. He felt a deep connection with her, like she would
lead him to his destiny.
In about an hour the B. Pearl came in.
he told his crew the deal & he departed for Trick Pony. He was
planning to tell Jess that he didn't love her like he thought he
did. He still wanted to be friends just not lovers.
Ana stayed
behind to clean up the captain's quarters so that Jack would have a
nice clean room when he got back. Trick Pony
"Jack Sparrow, what are ye doin 'ere?" said a near by
prostitute.
"Catalina, care ta 'ave a drink. I'll explain
it all ta ye as we drink & be merry." Jack said
"Sure
I'll take a couple bottles."
"Ajax, two bottles of yer
strongest rum. Now Cat 'ow is yer brother doin' by the way..."
Jack asked.
An Hour Later...
"Jack, lets get a room!?"
Cat said.
"Alright! Ajax, I need a room & two more
bottles." Ajax handed him the key to room number ten & two more
bottles of Captain Morgan's.
About ten minutes later Jess came
in looking for Jack. "Has anyone seen Captain Jack Sparrow?" she
asked.
"Aye, 'im & Catalina jus' went upstairs ta room
number ten."
"HE WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!" she screamed effectively
shutting up everyone in the room. "Where is the room?"
Ajax
showed her where to go & she stormed up the stairs sword drawn.
She kicked open the door to their room. "Jack, ye bastard, what do
ye think yer doin? Ye propose ta me & then a couple of hours
later yer getting laid!" Jess screamed at him, not realizing that
the whole bar was quiet.
"Tha's not fair Jack, ye said ye
loved me!" Cat said pouting.
"Catalina, ye bitch, stay the
bloody 'ell away from me if ye value yer life!" Jess shouted the
warning at her.
"I'll do whatever I bloody well please!"
she said lunging at her. Just before Jess can kill her Jack grabs her
by her waist & took her out of the room. Knocking her sword out
of her hand as she does.
"She's not worth it Jess." Jack
said, "If it'll 'elp matters any, she came any she came on to
me. I was sittin' there mindin me own business when she came up &
started talkin ta me. I asked 'er if she wanted a drink & 'ow
'er brother was doin. I didn't think we would go this far."
"So ye went up stairs & tried ta sleep with 'er! Jack 'ow
stupid do ye think I am? I'm leavin in two days. I don't wanna
ever seen ye again, savvy? I'm goin 'ome where I belong with me
sis." She said through tears.
"Alright. Ye won't ne'er
see me again if I can 'elp it." Jack said. 'Maybe it's 'er
sis I'm supposed ta fall fer. Tha might be what the connection is...'
he thought. To late to fix it now. He had blown his chance to get in
with her sis, or so he thought. (an: ye'll 'ave ta read the
sequel ta find out!)
She left the bar with people staring after
her. It was only after she got back to her quarters that she realized
she still had his ruby ring. 'I'll not waste it in the waters of
such a beautiful sea. I'll give it ta Chell. Maybe it'll brighten
'er world up a bit.' She thought.
