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.
