Chapter 3
Jack and Ana made their way back down to the docks later that day. All the supplies they had ordered were waiting for them and the grimy old pirate was waiting.
"Well, ye did come back after all? I was starting to wonder if ye would." Jack sneered a little and Ana remained quiet. She wasn't at all comfortable with the foul look the male was constantly giving her, when his eyes roamed her frame, she felt positively repulsed. Jack seemed to notice the other mans interest in Ana and once again grabbed the older mans face.
"Look at her like that again, and I'll remove your eyes from their sockets, savvy?" Ana felt a smile playing at her lips when she heard the possessive tone in Jack's voice, but then, it might just be the disgustingness of this male. This man made Gibbs look like a hygiene fanatic.
"Aye, alright. Didn't mean nothing on yer woman." Jack didn't bother to correct the man this time, and another smiled spread across Ana's face. Maybe her plan would be easier than she thought.
Jack piled all the things they needed into the rowboat and he and Ana started out for the Red Lady. Half way there Jack started to hum his little song, and Ana felt herself remembering a little of what happened the previous night, after she and Jack got to the inn.
-- Flashback --
Ana's lips met Jack's and the male pirate was slack in surprise, but returned the kiss after a moment. Ana's hands moved to cup Jack's face, and his arms tightened on her waist pulling her against him. Ana moaned slightly as Jack's tongue parted her lips and invaded her mouth. Their tongues pressing against one another as Ana pushed her body against his more firmly. Jack flipped them pressing Ana against the wall, her arms wrapping around his neck. Jack slowly drew back, but Ana didn't release her hold. His dark, kohl-lined eyes searched hers, looking for something, but Ana was unaware what. And then, to her utter surprise and disappointment the male pirate passed out. Ana let Jack fall to the floor, a frown on her face. She slowly staggered to the bed and fell atop it. Well, there wasn't going to be any arguing over the bed, although she would have much rather it had been for other reasons. Ana lay her head to the pillow and started to drift to sleep. Just before she did fall asleep she heard movement, Jack's movement from the corner of the room, to the table in the middle of the room. He had faked passing out! Why the hell…
-- End Flashback --
Ana stopped rowing and just stared ahead. She had kissed Jack. He had rejected her! She was about to turn and slap him when something went off in her head. Why did she kiss Jack? She had been drunk. That's why, so Jack hadn't rejected her? God, what was going on here?
"Ana, luv, I managed to row us there on me onesies, but I can't do it back with all this stuff here. So would you kindly pick the oar back up and help." Ana looked at Jack again, somewhat grateful.
"Aye, sorry. I was just remembering something there." She felt Jack tense.
"Both hands are to remain on the oar." Jack stated. Ana laughed but didn't reply. They rowed to the boat and Jack hooked it all up, then climbed aboard, haling the rowboat and Ana up.

Jack loaded the supplies in the galley and the hold, then pulled out a bottle of rum and another for Ana. They had decided to set sail that night, just so they could keep ahead of the Spanish fleet. Ana had asked Jack to put the gunpowder and cannons balls beside the cannons, and after almost six trips back and forth everything had been done. Jack made his way back up to the helm where Ana sat, watching the sky. Jack looked up but saw nothing of interest for him.
"Have you ever watched the stars Jack?" Ana asked.
"Aye, but the sky's to clouded to do that the night Ana, so what are ye watching?"
"The clouds actually." Jack sat down beside Ana and looked up at the clouds with her.
"What do you see?"
"Freedom." Ana looked at Jack. "I know that you see the Pearl as your freedom, but for me, it's the wind, the sky, the way the clouds move with the breeze. It's what I've always looked for, not matter where I was." Ana put her head on Jack's shoulder and the male pirate just looked down at her. She hadn't had anything to drink, she was definitely sober and she was starting to nuzzle into him!
"Aye, I can understand that. When I was a lad, I'd follow the wind, anywhere. Got lost once or twice, but I didn't care much." Jack ended up wrapping an arm around Ana as she lay there beside him, she sighed in content and the pair just watched the clouds pass over them as the Red Lady drift through the Caribbean waves.

When Ana woke up the next morning she was in her own bed. Looking around and not seeing Jack she got up and headed out to the main deck. Opening the door to her quarters she heard him before she even knew where he was.
"And really bad eggs. Drink up me hearties yo ho!" Ana smiled, closing the door and going back inside. It was a good morning; warm and sunny, meaning it would only get warmer as the day progressed. Smiling Ana decided to put her plan into action. Jack wasn't going to know what hit him.
- - - - -
"Morning Jack." Jack lifted his head at Ana's voice and immediately regretted doing so. She was wearing her usual skirt along with her hat the guarded her face from the sun. But that wasn't what shocked Jack. Instead of the baggy shirt she usually sported, Ana was wearing a button up shirt, in which wasn't buttoned at all and tied around her waist. Giving Jack a fairly good view of her breasts, although covered as they were, little was left to the imagination.
"Morning." Jack was sure he had croaked out the greeting. Ana just smiled.
"Want me to take the helm?" Jack stepped back, hands gesturing towards the helm for Ana. She took it and Jack leaned against the rails behind her. Jack frowned; Ana was being very strange the past few days. Actually since he saved her from the hangman's noose she had been a little less frosty towards him. Jack looked Ana up and down, for some reason she was swaying her hips in time with the waves and Jack was growing increasingly uncomfortable with her.
"I think I'll go see about some food for us." Jack said before quickly making his way to the galley. Just what on earth was Ana doing? Maybe she wasn't doing anything. It was highly possible that Ana was just feeling it a little warm and decided to wear more suitable clothes. Unfortunately she must've forgot about Jack. Muttering to himself about women and their one sided minds Jack hunted around the galley looking for food that did not remind him of Ana and her very attractive backside, which for Jack was a feat in itself.

Ana however was rather annoyed at Jack's abrupt departure. This could've meant one of two things. One, Jack wasn't interesting in her and was trying to keep away or two, Jack was interested and was unsure about Ana's position on the matter. Either way Jack had left no room for Ana to take a course of action without the possibility that it would back fire in the worst way. Ana sighed before reaching a final decision, consequence be hanged. She roped the wheel so that the ship didn't go off course and made her own way down to the galley, finding Jack with hid head in a barrel while singing.
"Oh but we're loved by our mommies and daddies, drink up me hearties yo ho!" Ana smiled at his childishness and advanced on him, biting her lips to keep from laughing out. Ana grabbed the pirate's buttocks and squeezed causing Jack to jump in surprise and hit his head off the top of the barrel he was currently searching.
"Sorry, did I scare you?" Jack whirled on Ana, frowning and holding his head.
"AnaMaria what in blazes name is wrong with you?"
"Nothing Jack." And Ana grabbed him pulling him to her. Jack's eyes widened and he didn't react when Ana's mouth sought out his. Ana pulled back, embarrassed at what had happened. "I umm, Jack I'm sorry that I…" Ana's sentence was cut off when Jack's lips came crashing against hers. Ana moaned and leant against him while she let him pillage her mouth to his heart content. They pulled apart to gasp in a much needed breath before Ana initiated another searing kiss. Their tongues duelled while Jack moved Ana back, pressing her against the table in the galley. Ana ran her hands over his shoulders, removing his jacket, while Jack's hands made quick work of her shirt. Ana moaned at the feel of Jack's hands running over her skin.
"You sure bout this luv?" Ana nodded before pulling Jack down to her on top of the galley table.
