REVIEW! REVIEW! It's real fun to get! I LOVE REVIEWS! DRINKS ALL AROUND! … couldn't help it …
Wills hands slipped around Carinas waist as he helped her over the railing of The Black Pearl. She uttered a small "thanks" and leaned against Will for a moment, fighting of the dizziness. In the back she heard Ana Maria yelling at Jack that he should get some common behaviour and then the sound of skin touching skin, or rather skin smacking skin. Finally the world stopped spinning and her eyes didn't feel like they were being pressed out of her head anymore, she pushed against Wills chest and gave him a little smile before turning around to see Ric attempting to help Ana Maria onboard.
"Get yer bloody hands of me or I swear on the pain of death that I will cut them off!" She slapped his arms away when he didn't move quickly enough. "Have all men lost they're senses! Goddammit! Yer just some selfish idiotic horny dorks all of ye!" Then she set of towards what Carina assumed to be her room.
Jack stuck his head over the railing and carefully looked from side to side. Then smiled and climb the rest of the way and jumped onboard.
"Set the sails, get that anchor back up!" He turned to Gibbs. "We should get some distance between us and Hoggy, then we'll come back here." Carina got a panicked look in her eyes and she ran the remaining distance between her and Jack and abruptly turned him to her.
"What are ye doin? What about me boat! Jesus Christ! Move out of the way!" Jack didn't budge; he blocked her way to the ladder and cocked his head to the side.
"MOVE! YE EMPTY-SCULLED HORNDOG!" She glared at him, but he just smiled a sly smile and continued to look at her. Then the ship started to move slightly. "I HAVE THINGS DOWN THERE! I CANNOT JUST LEAVE THEM! MOVE!" The entire time Jack had kept his hands behind his back, but now he brought his right hand forward. In it he held the end of a rope and Carina sighed in relief. Almost. She pushed Jack out of her way and saw that the rope was in fact fastened to her own boat.
"Phu," she said as she wiped some imaginary sweat of her forehead. Then she looked up at Jack and patted him on the shoulder. "Guess yer not an everyday pirate are ye?" Jack raised one of his eyebrows at her. "A true black-hearted pirate would never have done that. It would have left the boat. And it wouldn't have let me onboard. Would have just dropped me in the water and stole all my stuff." She smiled at him and started to climb over the railing so she could get her stuff from the Dragon. Jack watched her, and just as she was heading for the ladder he grabbed hold of her and threw her into the water.
"WOOOOOW!" Her yell was drowned as she hit the surface and water filled her mouth. Now normally Carina loved the water. The way the water surrounded her and lulled her. The way it lifted her and made her feel she could fly. Though with water filling her mouth and burning her lungs, that blue wet thing that seemed to be everywhere, and that she worship more than anything, was nothing but a big fat bother.
She began to swim to the surface, not caring to open her eyes and look. In each stroke she made she put all her might in, hoping to break the surface sooner. She felt that she was coming closer and closer.
OUCH! Mother-fucking blasted idiotic dumb-assed boat. She finally opened her eyes and glared at the underside of her boat, and then she swam a little to the left and broke the surface. Quickly she got into the boat and laid down. It hurt to breath and every once in a while she would hold her breath, before giving in and start the whole inhale-exhale process again. It wasn't that big a deal really. The burning sensation in her lungs was a quite familiar feeling; it was just that goddamn dizziness that made the whole thing worse.
"Ye alright luv? Ye look a little worse for wear down there." He chuckled slightly and Carina answered by laying an arm over her eyes blocking the sun. "Luv, ye better be coming back up now. Food is soon ready, and I see in yer mind's eye that ye wanna have some dry clothes. Ye can borrow some from Ana-Maria I assume, otherwise I wont put it as a bad thing to have to see ye in me clothes. Actually I think it would have an different sort of effect…"
"I have clothes," she started in a loud voice, hoping to drown out Jacks. "Down here. So there will be no need to scrounge any clothes at all." She sighed and got up in a sitting position. "I'll be up in a minute." She opened a little wooden box she had made to have her stuff in and brought outthings out. Then she gathered it all in a tablecloth, before tying it together and heading back up to the Black Pearl.
"Were can I change?" She sprang from the railing, preventing Jack from helping her.
"Well by all means luv, if ye want to ye can change here." He sized her up and down, lingering at some well known men-addicted areas. She rolled her eyes and grabbed his hat before punching him with it. Jack stretched his hands out and had a small desperate look in his eyes.
"Me hat…"
Carina smirked. "Did ye say something Jack?"
He glance at her slightly "Captain." Then his gaze fell back to his hat, which she now was holding over the railing. "Me hat…"
"Show me were I can change luv, and I'll give ye yer precious hat." His hand was shaking as he pointed in the direction of a door. His eyes were merely fixed on the hat, so Carina just couldn't help herself. She smiled one of her dazzling smiles before taking of running to the door he had pointed out.
"Me hat!" Then he started running after her. She sped up and opened the door before slamming it close again and twisting the key. She leaned against door to catch her breath.
Suddenly the door started to shake and the door handle was about to be ripped out of the door. Carina yelped and jumped away from the door, giving away a small laugh.
"Give me my hat ye wench!"
"'Ey! I am no wench! I am I and no other than that!" Jack started pounding on the door.
"Give me my hat wench!" Carina laughed. The pounding stopped and the door handle stopped moving. Carina inhaled sharply.Quiet before the storm, she quietly thought. "Open this door or I will blow the locks of." Jacks voice was low and threatening.
"By all means do so, but may I point out that this yer ship and that blowing the door of its hinges only ends with yer ship being harmed." There was no answer. Carina smiled. "I'd say that would be rather unnecessary and mean thing to do, considering that ye will get yer hat back when I'm done." The sound of the safety being put back on interrupted the emptiness that had filled the room after Carinas last words.
"Ye make sure me hat gets a good view of ye. That's the least ye own him." Then there was the sound of Jacks feet moving away, followed by Carinas laughter.
Carina looked at herself in the mirror Jack had in his cabin. She looked mighty fine. Her skirt was of linen and her armless white shirt of cotton. The skirt went from deep orange at the bottom to a lighter orange, almost white, at the top around her hips. It ended at her calves and was slightly torn at the base. Then she had a brown belt that was about 4 inches wide. Her bandana was long gone, so her brown hair fell in waves down her back, ending at her waist. To top it all she put Jacks hat on. Aaand I'm ready to go. She winked at herself before going out on deck.
"There ye are, foods done and…" Ana Maria stopped dead in her tracks and stared at Carina.
"What? Did I forget something? Is there something in me face?" She touched her face. "Wasn't there a moment ago…" She patted her face all over. "I can't find it! Where the bloody hell is it!"
"T'is nothing in yer face." Ana Maria slowly said. "T'is just, I… nice clothes." Carinas face lit up. God, Ana Maria thought, she smiles so easily. It's contagion too.
"Thank ye! I really like it too. I had a hard time getting hold of this skirt. Those gypsies can be real bitchy when figure out theyve been tricked." She laughed a little and smiled a secret smile. Reliving the moment. "Well, ye said something about food?"
Ana Maria nodded and led the way to the galley.
"Ouch. Oh freaking deck! Damn."
"What?" Ana Maria turned and looked quizzically at Carina.
"Splinters…" Carina moved past her while answering.
"Well, ye are walking around barefoot. Maybe some shoes would do." Ana Maria pointed out. Carina turned and took some steps backwards smiling.
"But barefoot is so much more fun!"
Ana Maria rolled her eyes. "Well then yer asking for it. It's in here." She pointed at the open door.
The room was filled with pirates that was drinking and eating, smacking and hollering. It was total chaos. Through all of the bawling Gibbs voice chimed through.
"Get yer feet of the table, yer asses down on the bench and bring up yer dishes!" Amazingly enough everyone listened. "Well, are going to stand there all day or are ye two lasses gonna sit down."
All eyes cut to the door way and fastened on Carina. Even though pirates didn't live the proper life and weren't all that big at the whole "whats-propor-and-whats-not", the outfit Carina was wearing left them slack jawed. It wasn't challenging enough to be something a strumpet would wear; yet it yelled sex. It wasn't proper enough to be something a woman could wear; yet it was as innocent as anything else.
Jack moved out of his seat and went over to Carina. He stood in front of her and leaned in, so that their body was almost touching. Then he moved his head so that his lips skimmed her earlobe. Carina concentrated hard on her breathing and not to run yelling in the other direction. He gave her a funny look before whispering in her ear; "Love the outfit." Then lifted the hat off her head and went back to the table.
Carina let out the breath she's been holding and started for the table herself. Ana Maria followed her and sat down next to her. Carina caught the smirk and immediately knew what Ana Maria was thinking.
"It's not like that at all. It is way more complicated. Believe me." The seriousness in Carinas eyes cut any mocking remark Ana Maria had prepared. Instead she look at Carina worryingly and laid a hand on her shoulder, indicating that she was here, if Carina wanted to talk.
SPLATSJ
Carina looked down at the brown gooey mush that filled Ana Marias' plate. Oh god, she thought. I can't eat that. It ain't eatable! She gagged. It smells horrible. No. I'm not eating it. She looked desperately at all the pirates who were stuffing their faces with the mud. In the middle of the table was a bowl with delicious green tasty apples. Now those I can eat. Slowly a plan formed in her head.
Jack was done with his food. Now if you just swallowed and didn't taste it, the food wasn't that bad. Grinning he wiped his face with the sleeve of his arm and got ready to go onboard and reveal Cotton from the helm, so that he could eat some too. Then there was a loud crash and Ana Maria voice yelling.
"Jesus Holy Christ! That had got to hurt!" Then she bend down to the floor. Jack moved around the table to see what the hell had happened and found Ana shaking Carina, trying to wake her up.
"Bloody Hell." He muttered and made his way over. "What happened?"
"I don't know, one minute we're talking and next she's…in no condition to talk…she just fainted! JUST LIKE THAT!"
Jack put one finger in his ear and shook his head a little. "No need to scream darling. I'll take her to me cabin." Then he picked her up and went on his merry way.
Jack was leaning forward in his chair while watching Carina. She had been unconscious for about half an hour and he was starting to get worried. Slowly he reached out with one hand and touched her throat, feeling her pulse. Dork, he thought, of course she's alive. She's breathing! Her chest is ris… her chest. His gaze fell to her bosom, the hand that was resting against her neck, slowly made it's way over her collarbone and down between her breasts.
He looked up to see if she was awake, but her eyes were still closed and her breathing deep and shallow. His hand lingered and he eyed her tits before shaking his head and moving his hand down to her flat stomach. He traced her bellybutton and her right side. Then he traced the outline of her skirt.
"Ouch!" He looked up to see Carina fully awake. He cringed, if looks could kill, he would be as dead as meat now. She had his hand in a iron grip.
"What did I tell ye about touching me?" Her voice was cold and hard. Jack swallowed and did his best to regain his composure.
"Couldn't resist mate."
Her gaze was cold as ice as she gripped Jacks wrist tighter.
"Ahh..." Jack twisted his body so that the pain Carina was inflicting would lessen. His eyes moved up and met hers, and after holding her gaze he bursted. Not able to contain himself any longer.
"Why is it that the others can touch ye but not me? Will has been close to ye a lot of times! Ye never tell him to go to bloody hell!"
"I trust Will. People I dont trust, I dont like touching me."
"We will get back to the not-trusting-me part after. And while I can understand yer reasoning, it seems too simple to cause ye a panick attack."
Carina glared at him, hoping it would shut him up. Of course, it didnt work. Jack just continued to look at her, and tilted his head to one side.
She sighed and let go of his arm, then she pulled herself up and supported herself against the headboard.
"I dont know why I panick. In reality I dont like it when men touches me at all. But sometimes they have this aura around them that makes me feel safe. Will has that. I feel that he would never do anything to hurt me." She looked at Jack. "Ye dont Jack. Ye actually scare me. I dont feel like I can trust ye. I feel that if I open up to ye, even the slightest bit, it gives ye what ye need to hurt me. Im pretty simple Jack. Im easily hurt and easily pleasured. I wear my feelings on the outside. And people has used that way to many times. Now I keep a distance from those who seem like they would use me. Ye seem like one of those persons. Thats why I dont like ye touching me."
Jack was stroking his beard while looking at her. Then he leand a little closer and said: "I dont understand."
Carina let out a fustrated growl and moved out of the bed to start pacing in the cabin.
"What is that ye dont understand? The fact that people has used me and that Im now more aware of those who surrounds me, so that I wont get hurt that way again? The fact that ye seem like one who would use me? What Jack? What is it that ye cant fit into yer little chicken head?"
"Ouch, that hurt," He wisphered to himself. Then he got up and moved towards Carina. "Actually luv, I get that. But why dont ye trust me? Did I give ye a reason to it? I havnt betrayed yehave I? And I showed myself pretty loyal to me crew, so thats not where ye could have gotten the idea from. So why do ye not trust me?"
She stoped in front of him. "Ye dont make me feel safe."
Jack tucked her hair behind her ear, then he trailed his index finger against her jaw and settled it under her chin, bringing her closer.
"Let me try luv." He saw tears pool in her eyes and knew she was fighting the panick that was threatning to appear. "Shhhh..." He wisphered silently as he led her towards a chair and set himself down it, brining her onto his lap. He brought his arms around her and hugged her to him. Her head was tucked in his neck, and he knew she was crying by the wetness on his neck and the shaking in her body. He began to rubb a hand up and down her arm and wispher in her ear.
"I dont want ye to be scared of me. It makes me feel sad knowing that ye cant trust me. For some reason luv, that I cant explain, I want ye to be able to relax around me and trust me. I want ye to put down the guard ye always set up when Im around. I know ye actually like physical contact. Yer always hugging someone, or holding their hand, or sit a little closer than necessary. Not with every one of the crew, but with Will and Ana Maria. Even Cotton.I want ye to be able to be like that round me too. I dont wanna hurt ye."
She brought her head out of his neck and rested it on his shoulder instead, tracing small eight figures on his chest.
"I want that too. But it might take a while before Im able to. If I ever will be."
He kissed her on her head and rested his own head on top of hers.
"As long as ye try luv, Ill be happy. Well go slow. Well build the trust. Okay?"
She sniffled. "Okay."
He jumped his shoulder a little, hinting for her to look at him. When she did he brought forward a hand and smiled at her.
"So we have an accord?"
She laughed softly and took his hand. "Aye, we do."
She rested her head back on his shoulder. They sat like that for some time, staring into space, each wrapped up in their own thoughts.
Carina was the first to break the silence. "Jack?"
"Mmh?" He was still tracing a hand up and down her arm. She found it relaxing.
"Im hungry."
He chuckled and started to get up. "I think Gibbs still got some food left."
"Uhm, I would really rather have an apple. Remember when I told ye earlier that my breath is caused by lack of food?" At his nodd she continued. "Well, its not really that Im not able to get hold of food thats causing the lacking. Its more the fact that Im real picky about my food. Theres things I just dont eat. And most of those things are what people eat every day... I couldnt say that in the galley, because I didnt wanna hurt Gibbs feelings by picking on his food, so I faked fainting instead. If ye could get me a apple I would eat that..." She looked at Jack hopefully.
"Ye faked fainting?"
She looked down at the ground. "Aye..." She answered weakly.
"Ye had me worried lass, and there wasnt a slightest thing wrong with ye? Ye scared the shit out of both me and Ana Maria."
"I didnt wanna hurt Gibbs feelings by telling him I didnt like the food. It was easier to just faint. Then I was going to wake up again at once, only I fell asleep... Im sorry Jack. I didnt mean to scare ye..." She looked up at him and her eyes were filled with rav emotions.
Jack shook his head and put and arm around her shoulders. "Come on luv, lets get ye that apple."
She squirmed a little when she felt his arms weight on her, but she didnt feel the panick so she let him keep it there. For about ten seconds.
Sorry it took a while with this chapter, but now its done.
