Chapter 3

"It's not a dream?" I thought as I looked around me. I looked to the clear blue waters around me,

and I looked to the calm skies above, to the wooden cracked floor of the ship beneath me, to the red slap mark on Jack Sparrows face.

"Um . . . woopsies!" I said innocently.

"Sorry are ye?" Jack asked as he forced a face as innocent as mine but with eyes smoking with dark flames of anger.

"Eh . . . eh . . . eh . . . "I laughed nervously. "Well, you see, um, what I am trying to say is, well, uh . . . "

"Yes luv?" Jack asked between yellow spotted, gritted teeth.

"Red looks good on you?" and then I bolted from the seat but before I could go anywhere, Jack grabbed the tail of my shirt, yanked it pulling me down so that with a plop, I was back in the same situation as before.

"And where do you thing you're going luv?" Jack asked with a smile.

"To . . . the bathroom!" I lied.

"The bathroom?" Jack asked confused.

"Yes! To the bathroom!"

"What . . . bathroom!" Jack asked with a wry smile. "Ch! Would you be referring to that bucket?"

"Bucket? Are you stupid or something? I said BATH-ROOM! Not BU-CKET! Sheesh! I don't even know how you can confuse the two." I said exasperating as I shook your head from side to side in disbelief.

"I think is ye who is confused. There be no fancy room fer going on this ship. There's only a bucket." Jack responded quite coolly.

"A BUCKET! THAT'S BARBARIC!" then it dawned on me. " Why you little PERV! I bet you watch people when they go! Ooooh! Is that it? Uh? Like to watch Will eh? I don't blame you, I would too, but . . . "

"Will you SHUT-UP!"Jack yelled. His voice was threatening, cold. It was so unlike the Jacks I was used too. "GOD! I don't know how people live with ye!" Jack yelled as he rubbed the temple in his forehead obviously thinking it would relieve the pain of annoyance he felt.

"Uh! Well excuse me Captain Jack Sparrow!"With a mock bow. When I rose, I straightened myself and gave poor Jack a stare so cold that Captain Barbossa himself would piss himself from the sheer fright. I'll be damned if anyone, may he be a pirate or not, got the last word in.

Soon Jack , unable to look me in the eye any longer, turned to look at his dim black boots.

"No need to get all bent out or shape luv." he said still looking to his boots, I could tell by the sound in his voice hat he had given in to my . . . will, and feeling victorious, I let it pass.

Soon a voice, distant yet loud, called out Jack from the crow's nest above.

"Captain! We're almost upon the shore!" it called. Looking up, I saw Anna-Maria I don't know if that's spelled right so someone please tell me, so that I may correct it and for some reason. Her presence annoyed me. Maybe because she is the only female pirate aboard. Jack, I thought, must get lonely some times, and who would he go to for comfort? Soon I became so jealous it seeped into, my very bones. "Well see who comfort Jack in the end," said the bitter voice in the back of my mind.

Soon all ill thoughts left me as Jacks voice boomed about me.

"ALRIGHT YOU SCURVY DOGS! ALL HAND ON DECK!GET READY FOR IT LADS!" He turned to me, a smile playing across his face, a smile so cute yet deceptive all the same. "Now luv, if ye are to stay aboard me ship, ye do as I say, savvy" there was just something seductive in his voice which led me to take in the wrong way.

"Do...what ever you say ?" I asked suddenly becoming quite timid in the presence of Jack Sparrow.

"Yes, luv" he said coming closer to me, "everything"

I could feel the heat in my cheeks grow hotter and hotter with each step Jack took. Any closer and he would soon be upon me!

"What then!"screamed the voice in my head.

"For instance," Jack whispered as he was close to my ear, my heart pounding much faster. "If I tell you hands on deck you'd better do it!" I stood dazed for second, trying to fully comprehend what he had just told me.

"Hands on deck?" thought my perverted conscious. "Now did he mean that to . . . ?" then it hit me. "HANDS ON DECK! That's what you meant?" I asked angrily.

"Of course, what other meaning is there?" asked Jack stepping back from my towering anger. Then I fell silent, the blush re-awakening upon my cheeks.

"Never mind," I said turning my back to Jack, trying to divert Jacks attention from my suspicious actions, I asked him as to where the ship was heading too.

"We be sailing to Tortuga luv." Jack said eyeing the shore lingering ahead.

"Tortuga? Isn't that the biggest pirate port around?" I asked. Suddenly I remembered something about Tortuga which comforted me non. "Inst that also... where no man feels unwanted?" I asked, quoting Jacks own words from the movie.

"Aye. That be the one," Jack replied as an eerie look fell into his eyes, as if he were bringing up past pleasurable memories. This angered me. "What if he is thinking of some other girl?" asked my jealous thoughts.

"And isn't it also where the women give thanks by bestowing unto you, a shower of slaps?"I asked jealous beyond knowledge.

Soon a roar of laughter, as loud as the angry seas, poured throughout the ship. I looked around, spotting the faces of the humored shipmates. I had just seceded in ridiculing the captain. If they do not respect Jack, then he has no loyal crew, and if he has no loyal crew he is a captain no more. My once pounding heart, shattered and fell to the bottom of my stomach. Jacks face had now took on red tint, whether by anger or embarrassment I couldn't tell. I had not only just angered my idol, but also one of the most feared pirates of the Carribean seas.

"Get the pearl ready for the port!" he barked, then turning to glare at me.

"You...follow me!" I knew I had done wrong but the look upon Jacks face worsened my guilt. I followed him until I entered his cabin room form within.

For hours it seemed, I stood there in the dreary silence. The only sounds heard was the creaking of the ships as it gently rocked back and forth in the gentle seas. This comforted me non.

"Thank you," Jack whimpers indifferently. "Its hard enough earing their respect, I don't need you there making it harder."

"I... I'm sorry, Jack" the words come out but they were so soft and muffled I were afraid he heard non of it. Jack was silent for a while there after, but soon he let out a sigh. This sigh was like a long awaited breeze to comfort a soul after a storm.

"Oi, I really am cursed." Jack said smiling gently.

"Ch? How's that?" I asked as I leapt inside with this turn of emotions.

"I cant stay mad at a girls like you . No matter how hart I try."

"This is great! So , you're not mad at me?"

"Aye, I'm not angry with ye, but tat still doesn't solve the problem"

"Problem?"I asked confused. Surely I have done nothing more to cause Jack any more strife. Right?

"Aye luv," Jack responded " me crew still doesn't respect me manhood."

"GASP!MANHOOD!Jack you're not... going to do what I THINK you're going to do! Are you?" I shouted shocked and embarrassed by Jacks statement. What with the crew being all males and then I add Jacks manhood? Gosh! It'd be like a gay cruise. WAIT! Its not just males!

"Anna-Maria!" the voice within gasped. Yes! That must be it ! He'd prove his man hood by using Anna-Maria. Hell! That's worse than him with the rest of the crew.

All the mean while, as my brain sought to sort out this embarrassing dilemma, Jack was frantically trying to get my attention.

"What the hell are ye thinking about! HELLO!LUV!" Jack yelled.

"Wha...?" I said suddenly coming back to reality. "Jack! You cant showcase your MANHOOD! That's disgusting!"

"What the bloody hell luv! All I'm saying is, me crew doesn't think I'm respectful to women. Bloody hell what did you think I said?" Jack explained in arrogance.

"Oh! That?." I said astounded. "What and idiot I am. I thought you meant you were going to become a male gigolo!" I said laughing.

"Gigolo? What is that luv?" Jack asked confused.

"Oh, nothing. Anyway, all you have to do is prove your crew wrong!"

"How?"

"By getting yourself a broad!" I said rather proud of my genius idea.

"That's it! That's the PERFECT idea" Jack yelled, a smile playing across his ruddy (yet still hot) face.

Then he looked to me. The happy, bubbly smile now replaced by one which was cunning.

"And I thank you, my volunteer," Jack said.

"Volunteer? Me ? For what?" I asked, even though I had a pretty good idea of what it was.

Jack stepped closer to me and closer until his chest was almost upon mine little by little, he leaned closer to my ear, using his hand to gently move my hair away with soft departed lips he whispered within..

"Why to be me gal luv."
