Chapter Nine- Men in Wigs, Evil Women, and the Truth
Kristy, Jack, Elizabeth, and Will arrived at the Governors mansion; it had private gates and was looking down on the entire port. Jack and Kristy followed Will and Elizabeth up the steps to the door and Elizabeth knocked. The door opened and a young woman in a simple blue dress with a white apron led them into the entrance hall, she took their coats and led them into the first room off to the right, Jack took Kristy's hand as they entered the room. The room was big, there was two couches facing each other with a coffee table in between in the center of the room, on the left wall there was a fireplace and on the right there was a big window that looked out onto the front yard. There was about twenty people in the room, mostly men on one side and women on the other, everyone was dressed very nice.
"Ah, Will, Elizabeth you came." An older man in his late forties with a white wig and a long red jacket with a white shirt underneath, red pants and black shoes came walking towards them. The man took Elizabeth's hand and kissed it and shook Will's hand. "And you have brought some friends with you!" The man took Kristy's hand and kissed it and shook Jack's hand. "I am Governor Johnson, welcome to my home."
"Thank you, it's very nice to meet you, I'm Kristy and this is Jack." Jack gave Kristy's hand a small squeeze and smiled at her.
"Yes, very nice to meet you, we will be eating any moment now so just relax and have a nice evening." The Governor smiled and continued on meeting the others at his party.
"Well…what do we do now?" Kristy had never been to a 'nice' party and she felt lost as to what she should do.
"Well, you can come and meet some of the ladies that I know." Elizabeth smiled at Kristy and took her hand. "Come on." Elizabeth pulled on Kristy's hand but she didn't move she had turned to Jack.
"I will be back in a while, are you going to stay with Will?" Jack kissed Kristy softly on the lips.
"Aye…don' be to long." Kristy let go of Jack's hand and her and Elizabeth walked to the far right corner of the room. There was six young women standing in a small circle all talking and laughing they all turned as Kristy and Elizabeth approached them.
"Elizabeth." The six young women all came towards Elizabeth and hugged her.
Elizabeth gave all of the women a hug then turned to Kristy. "Ladies this is Kristy she is a friend of mine who is staying with me." All of the ladies turned to Kristy and gave her a warm smile. Elizabeth started to introduce the ladies she turned to the first woman on her right, Samantha, she was tall and skinny she had dark brown hair and she was wearing a dark blue dress that was long sleeved and went all the way to the floor, she gave a small smile to Kristy. Elizabeth introduced the next woman, Mary, she was shorter and a little heavier, she had blond hair and she was wearing a peach colored dress that had three quarter inch sleeves and almost touched the floor she nodded her head. The next woman, Jessica, was average height and weight, she had red hair and she was wearing a long sleeved light green dress with gold flowers all over it that reached the floor she smiled and gave a small wave. The next woman, Isabel, was short and skinny, she had light brown hair and she was wearing a long sleeved red dress that reached the floor she smiled. The next woman, Anna, was tall and average weight, she had blond hair and she was wearing a long sleeved dark green dress that almost reached the floor she smiled and gave a small wave. The last woman, Christina, was short and skinny, she had brown hair and she was wearing a long sleeved pink dress that reached the floor she smiled and nodded her head.
"It's nice to meet all of you." Kristy smiled and took one last look at all of the ladies.
"Are you married?" Jessica asked she waited expectantly for Kristy's answer.
"No I'm not; I haven't found the right one yet." All the women looked at her with a small smile.
"That's too bad, that's my husband over there isn't he gorgeous? He's one of the Governors officers." Jessica pointed at a tall man in his early thirties; he had on a white wig and he was wearing a long red jacket with a white shirt underneath, red pants and black shoes, he looked cocky, and he wasn't very handsome.
"Yes…um…very charming." Kristy said as she turned back to the women in the group.
"Well, you came in with an interesting gentleman." Isabel said to Kristy and all the women gave a small laugh. Kristy was angry she looked at all the women in the group.
"Yes that's Jack he's very sweet and he doesn't wear an ugly white wig." Kristy said as she turned and went to find Jack.
"Well she is pleasant isn't she?" Christina said as Kristy walked away.
"Yes she is, and if you will excuse me." Elizabeth couldn't believe them, Jack was a wonderful man they were just too blind to see it. She hurried and caught up with Kristy as they found Will and Jack, they were in the corner of the room by the window talking to each other.
"Luv, yer back soon." Jack said as Kristy walked into his arms and hugged him.
"I got bored and had to come and find you." Kristy said then she kissed Jack softly on the lips and took his hand.
Elizabeth had turned to Will and was quietly telling him what had happened. "How could they do that? Kristy and Jack are wonderful people." Will was angry, why were rich people so rude?
"Dinner is served," An older maid called from the entrance of the room "please join us in the dining room."
Everyone started to walk out of the sitting room and into the dining room that was just across the hall, both couples went into the dining room. Jack pulled out a chair for Kristy a few chairs up from the end of the table and Will pulled a chair out for Elizabeth on the opposite side of the table they all sat down and quietly talked.
"Did you talk to anyone?" Kristy asked Jack as she took a small sip of her wine.
"Yeah someone Will makes swords for, who did ye talk to?" Jack smiled at Kristy; she was the most beautiful woman in the room.
"Some of Elizabeth's friends." Kristy looked down at the table; she didn't want to think about them, she was still angry.
The food was brought into the room and once it was placed on the table the Governor stood up and raised his wine glass, everyone followed suit.
"To good times and new friends." The Governor took a sip from his wine glass and everyone around the table took a sip of theirs. "Please, enjoy." The Governor sat down and started to put food on his plate, the table had three roasted pigs one on each end and one in the middle, plates of bread, rice, and vegetables. Kristy looked at Jack who had just finished off the wine in his glass. Kristy quietly laughed and helped herself to some meat, bread, rice and vegetables, Jack did the same and they all ate quietly.
After everyone was finished the dinner was cleared from the table and dessert was brought out, strawberries and chocolate, Kristy's favorite, she felt happier.
"Oh…these are my favorite." Kristy said as she took four large strawberries. "They are so good." Kristy ate the strawberries and finished off her wine.
As soon as everyone else had finished and their plates were cleared the Governor stood up. "Now that you all have eaten I hope you will join us once again in the sitting room and enjoy the rest of the evening."
"Oh…I thought it was over." Jack looked at Kristy with a smirk on his face.
"Not as fun as ye though' it was gonna be?" Kristy lightly hit Jack's arm and smiled.
"No, not really, I don't like Elizabeth's friends very much all they care about are themselves." Kristy said as everyone around them started to move into the other room. "Elizabeth, can we leave now?"
"You and Jack can leave I have to stay and talk to some people for a while though." Elizabeth said she didn't want to make Kristy to stay if she didn't want to.
"Thank you Elizabeth, I knew you would understand." Kristy gave Elizabeth a hug and her and Jack found their coats and quietly left the party.
"Luv, how come ye didn' wan' to stay?" Jack asked as they walked down the stairs and onto the gravel path.
"The women were rude, they were making fun of how I came to the party with you and they were saying how wonderful and charming their husbands were but they were really arrogant and ugly." Jack began to laugh.
"Well I could have told ye they were gonna be like tha' all the rich people are…well except Will an' Elizabeth. Don' worry abou' it luv, I know yer wonderful, ye don' need ta prove anythin' to them." Jack said as he stopped and pulled Kristy into his arms.
"Thank you Jack, you really are wonderful." Kristy stood on her tiptoes and kissed Jack, the kiss deepened and Jack picked her up so that one arm was around her back and the other under her knees, Kristy let out a small laugh. "What are you doing Jack?"
"I'm carryin' ye home." Kristy laid her head on Jack's shoulder as he carried her back to Will and Elizabeth's. Jack put Kristy down in front of the door and opened it to let her in.
"Well luv, once again we have the house to ourselves." Jack said as he took off his jacket threw it by the door and lit one of the candles that was on the small table next to the door.
"That we do." Kristy said as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Jack, she licked his bottom lip and Jack let her in. Kristy moaned in Jack's mouth as the kiss deepened, Jack loved to hear her moan. He put his arms just below her butt and lifted her up. Kristy pulled her head back and stared at Jack, he had amazing eyes…right now they were clouded with passion and desire, and he began to kiss her neck. Kristy didn't know what to do, she knew Jack was 'experienced' in ways that she wasn't. She had never gone all the way with a guy and she didn't know what to do. "Jack…um…I have never…you know…done it before." Kristy looked into his eyes and didn't see disappointment but understanding.
"Aye, tha's alrigh' luv we don' have to." Kristy loved how he was so understanding; she liked Jack a lot she just wasn't ready to give up that part of her, she had to be sure Jack was the one.
"Thank you for understanding Jack." Kristy said and she kissed him on the lips, Jack kissed her back and this time he licked her bottom lip, Kristy let him in.
Kristy and Jack continued to kiss until Jack couldn't hold her anymore and had to put her down. "Well, luv wha' should we do?" Jack said as he still held Kristy in his arms.
"Well…" Kristy broke off as she yawned.
"Aye we can go to sleep." Jack placed Kristy down on the ground so that he could hold her in his arms with her legs over one arm and her back resting on the other. He took her over to the table and she picked up the candle and Jack carried her upstairs and took her into her room where he set her back down on the ground.
"Jack…can I sleep in your room tonight?" Kristy looked up at Jack with pleading eyes, she couldn't sleep alone, and when she slept next to Jack she didn't have any bad dreams.
"Aye, jus' come in when ye are finished." Jack said as Kristy took the candle from her nightstand and lit it and gave one of the candles to Jack.
"Ok, I'll be in in a minute." Kristy gently kissed Jack's lips and he left the room, shutting the door behind him. Kristy changed into the nightgown Elizabeth had let her borrow, and then she put on the robe, grabbed the candle and went and knocked on Jack's door. "Jack can I come in?"
"Aye, come in." Kristy opened the door and walked in, Jack was laying on the bed he was only wearing a pair of black pants, and he had already put the beads back in his hair.
"You already put the beads back in your hair?" Kristy said as she sat down on the bed and put the candle on the nightstand.
"Aye, it was drivin' me crazy not havin' them in." Kristy looked at the beads, they really did make him look like Jack Sparrow, and he almost wasn't the same without them.
"They look very nice." Kristy said as she started to take her hair out of the messy bun, she finally got the last bobby pin out and pulled out the hair tie, causing her hair to fall in perfect waves around her body.
Jack watched her the whole time, he loved it when she had her hair down, it was always soft and it made her even more desirable.
Kristy put the hair tie and bobby pins on the nightstand, blew out the candle, causing the room to fill with darkness and lay down on the bed on her left side with her right arm around Jack and his right arm around her.
"Thank you for being so nice to me." Was the last thing Kristy said before she fell asleep in Jacks arms with her head on his chest.
Jack lay awake for a while thinking, all the while running his hands through Kristy's hair. She meant so much to him but did he really mean that much to her? Were they going to fast they had only known each other for a couple of days after all. Jack couldn't think anymore so he lightly kissed the top of Kristy's head closed his eyes and fell asleep.
