Chapter 11-Are You Jealous?
Romi stood by the window in her cabin looking out. She was alone. The door opened suddenly and there in the doorway was Diego. She gave him a startled look and was confused as to why he was there. They spoke no words as he approached her and stood mere inches from her face. She lifted her face up to look into his eyes and he brought his lips down on hers. He was gentle at first, then he placed his hands on the back of her head to deepen the kiss. She was responsive to the kiss and felt as though her mind were clouded. He managed to push her closer to the bed without breaking their embrace and carefully laid her down. She had on a sheer white nightgown that didn't leave much to the imagination. He lay on top of her and continued the kissing. He moved down to her neck and she arched her head back giving him better access. His hand was caressing her breast and with his thumb stroked her nipple through the nightgown. She wanted the bothersome material off her and he obliged. He carefully and slowly lifted her nightgown and pulled it over her head. He then threw it on the floor and went back to exploring her body. His hands seemed to be all over her and she couldn't take it anymore. He could sense her want and began to undress himself. Once he was finished he lay back on top of her between her legs. She wrapped them around his waist and he entered her slowly. She arched her back and began to breathe faster. They were both sweating and they clung to each other as they both hit their peak. Romi thrashed her head from side to side and cried out his name as he collapsed on top of her. He moved to her side and looked into her eyes.
"What do you think Jack will say when he finds out about this?"
She came out of her trance. Jack! She forgot all about her husband. She felt ashamed. Suddenly the door flung open and Jack stood in the doorway.
Romi's eyes flew open as she woke up and stood straight up in the bed as she let out a scream. She was sweating so much her nightgown was clinging to her body. She looked at Jack's side of the bed and saw he was gone. It was a dream. Thank God. But she felt so ashamed. She squeezed her hands against her eyes as she began to cry.
Jack walked in having heard her screaming. He saw her crying on the bed and rushed to her side.
"What's wrong luv? Are ye alright?" He held her in his arms and she laid her head against his chest. She just kept crying, almost uncontrollably. Jack was stroking her hair gently trying to calm her down. Romi's crying became quick little sobs as she was trying to catch her breath.
"Sshh luv. Everything's alright." Jack was worried over what was wrong with her. She had been acting so strange lately.
Romi still felt guilty because of the dream she had. She didn't even know how she was going to face Jack. She had to tell him about Diego so as to lift this weight off her shoulders. She straightened herself out and with downcast eyes looked in his direction.
"Jack I have to talk to you."
He knew she was finally going to open up to him and he felt relief. "Go on luv."
She sighed out loud before beginning. "I knew Diego when I lived in Spain. He began courting me when I was 18. Everything was fine for a while but then he began to become violent even with me." She stopped to collect her thoughts. Jack felt his face become red. It infuriated him to think this man had hit her.
"It wasn't until one time he had given me a black eye and Angela saw it. She reported him to the authorities and they decided to investigate him. They found out he was using information about the Spanish government and selling it to other countries. He was exiled from Spain and I never heard from him again. Till now."
Jack didn't know what to say. All he wanted to do was find Diego and slit his throat. He flexed his neck before speaking. "Well that settles it then, he's not coming with us."
"Oh no Jack, don't do that. He seems to have changed and I don't want him to think that I still hold a grudge against him. If he tries anything then you can do what you want. Ok?" She looked at him almost pleadingly. Jack's eyebrows were furrowed.
"Alright, but one mistake and there's no tellin' what I'll do to 'im."
Romi smiled at him. She felt protected whenever she was with Jack. Then she remembered the dream she had but quickly dismissed it. She had no control over what happens in her dreams. She stood up and wiped the tears from her face. Jack was still sitting on the bed and he pulled her towards him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his head against her stomach. Romi stroked his hair, and he wished he never had to let her go. He just wanted to stay in this moment forever. Romi felt a wave of nausea overcome her suddenly and she ripped herself away from Jack and out the door. She managed to make it to the railing and quickly flung her head over. Jack rushed out behind her. He saw her by the rail and cocked a grin. Oh the issues with pregnancy, he thought.
He came up behind her and pulled her long, curly hair away from her face. When she was finished she laid her forehead on her arms trying to compose herself. "I'm sure I look deathly attractive right now." She managed to say with a smile.
"Actually ye never looked lovelier." That response made her laugh out loud.
Diego appeared suddenly. "He's right you know. You do look lovely." He handed her a glass of water, which Romi took gratefully. "Thank you."
Jack glared at him before returning his attention back to Romi. "Will ye be alright luv?"
Romi finished the water before replying. "Yes. I'll be fine. I think I'm going to go lie down for a while."
Diego took the glass from her hand. "I'll be getting back to fixing the other hole. It should be finished by tonight Captain." He nodded at Jack and left.
Jack stood staring at him before following Romi back to the room. She lay on the bed looking exhausted. It seemed the pregnancy finally began taking its toll on her.
"I'll be out on the ship luv, if ye need anything just send for me. I'll tell Angela to come in and check on you in a little while."
Romi didn't even lift her head when she replied to him. "Thank you Jack."
Jack shut the door and walked out on deck checking on things. He spotted Will overlooking the crew who were fixing the hole and he sashayed over to him. "How are things comin' along mate?"
"Everything is going great Jack. The hole will be patched up in no time. We can set sail as early as tomorrow morning."
"Good." He rested his arms on the railing and seemed deep in thought. Will looked his friend over.
"Are you alright Jack?"
"I'm not sure mate. Romi told me about this Diego, that he had courted her a long time ago. She also told me that he hit her."
Will was taken aback. "He did? And why aren't you getting rid of him?"
Jack sighed out loud. "Romi told me not too. That he seems like he changed and she doesn't want to be the reason for him being thrown off the ship or some nonsense. I did tell her though that he messes up just once and I won't be held responsible for what I do to 'im."
Will had a grin on his face now. "Jack, are you jealous?"
His head shot up and he glared at Will. "There is nothing to be jealous about mate. He is a dirty scoundrel for ever hitting Romi, and I would want nothing more than to feed 'im to the sharks." His hands were flying in the air.
Will laughed as he spoke. "Alright mate. Forget I said anything."
Jack glared at him. "Eunuch."
Will just shook his head. "Real mature Jack."
They both looked at each other and laughed together. "Oh mate where's Angela? Romi's feeling sick and I would feel better if Angie kept an eye on her."
"Ah, the pregnancy is finally sinking in aye? I'm not sure where she is, I'll go find her and tell her to go see Romi."
"No mate I'll do it. Stay 'ere and keep watch on the progress of the hole. Let me know when it's done aye?"
"No problem Jack."
Jack turned around and left the deck to find Angela. He found her sitting at the stern of the ship. The kids were playing around and she was busy writing a letter. He approached her and she looked up startled since she was deep in thought. "Oh Jack, I didn't hear you."
"Angela, could you please check on Romi. It would seem she's getting into those months were she's sick to her stomach."
"Oh poor thing. No problem, I'll go finish my letter in her room so I can keep her company. You mind keeping an eye on the kids for a little while?"
Jack looked at the kids playing around and realized it's been a long time since he took time out to play with his daughter. "Don't mind at all." He ran over to the kids and picked up Celeste in his arms and started flinging her in the air. He then put her down and did the same with Brennan. Angela just laughed at him and walked away to Romi's cabin.
