The Triangle of Trouble
Happens at the same time as the scene with Jack and Nicole
Kama and Will made it down the stairs safe enough and Will directed her where to put the box down. "Dang it." Said Kama shaking her hand.
"What's wrong?" asked Will stepping up to her.
" I have a stupid splinter." Said Kama looking at her left hand.
"Let me see."
"No it hurts I don't want anyone to touch it except for Nicole." Said Kama with a small frown.
"The longer you leave it in the worse it will get." Said Will walking closer to Kama.
"No." said Kama stepping back.
"Give me your hand." Said Will with a commanding voice and once again closing the space between himself and Kama.
"And I said no."
"Just let me look at it." Requested Will.
"Don't make me get Elizabeth on you." Said Kama.
Will's face twisted slightly with anguish but then went blank, "Then go to Port Royal and ask for her in the Governor's house."
"Will, I'm sorry."
Will sat on a crate with a sigh, "Don't worry over it. I wanted to sail as a pirate and she wanted to settle down and live a more peaceful life."
"Still that's really sad you guys looked so good together." Said Kama sitting on a crate across from Will. Will grinned at her, and with a sigh Kama held out her hand.
Will took it and looked at the sliver of wood in her hand, "I'll pull it out on three."
Kama nodded her head, "OK."
"One…" Will pulled the splinter out.
"Oww you said you would pull it out on three." Frowned Kama inspecting her hand.
"Didn't hurt as bad if I had pulled it on three seeing how you weren't expecting it." Grinned Will.
"It still hurts." Pouted Kama.
Will put her hand in his and brought it to his lips and kissed it lightly, Kama blushed. "Yea…" whispered Kama looking down. Will let go of her hand and gently pushed her chin up. Then he started leaning towards her and there was a sound like a crash and someone laughing.
"We should go see what that was." Said Will.
"Oh…a…yea….", whispered Kama with very red cheeks.
Back to the story
Nicole and Kama had to shoo several men out of the kitchen to keep them away from the food. They decided to make mashed potatoes, fried fish, bread, and put out some fruit and for desert they made some pies.
They set all of the food on to tables and stuck their head's out the door and yelled, "Dinners up!" Kama had to pull Nicole out of the way of the stampeding pirates.
They looked on as several of the pirates choked on the hot food but kept eating. "I think they like it." Whispered Nicole.
"They better." Said Kama with her hands on her hips.
"Looks like ye did well." Said Jack walking up to the women.
"It was mostly Kama really." Said Nicole shaking her head at the spectacle of the pirates. Everything in the room froze when a pirate started gagging and gasping for air. Nicole ran over and started doing the himlic maneuver after a few tense seconds a piece of apple shot from the pirates mouth.
Nicole sighed and got up onto the table, "Ok you guys need to slow down Kama and I don't have the whole bloody night to save you so just calm down and eat slowly." Luckily they listened and no one else choked that night on the food. About an hour later the crew is out on the deck having a 'party' getting drunk, playing music, and dancing.
Nicole was trying to teach several crewmembers that they should ask for something instead of just taking it and it was not going very well.
"Oh forget it. Just go get drunk or whatever you pirates do at a party." Said Nicole tossing her arms into the air. The men dispersed and went back to the rum and music.
"It's impossible to teach them not to steal its who they are." Said Jack sitting next to her.
