Tortuga was a vile town at first but it was a great place to have a good time. We went to a tavern called the Faithful Bride. Jack ordered two mugs of rum and we sat down at a table. Actually it was more a slate of wood on top of a skinner piece. We sat down and drank. Jack loves his rum, he said as much as he loves me. That must mean a lot.
"Jack, have you ever had this hot , like tea? I asked him
"No love."
I went up to the bar and asked for a match and a mug full of water. Jack was staring at me but knew I had a trick up my sleeve. I lit the match and put it over the mug of water . In less than 5 minutes the water was boiling and I poured the hot water on the dirt ground . The mug that held the cold rum was poured into the heated mug. I took a sip and passed it to Jack. He took a swig and opened his mouth.
"Love how do you do this?"
"Well when you grow up drinking tea every hour, you have it in ya."
End of Lin's POV
Soon the whole tavern was in demand for hot rum. Just like every night, people were getting drunk left and right. Fights broke out and objects such as stools, mugs and other items were thrown. A man the was madly drunk came up to sweep Lin away.
"Pretty lady, come back to my room," the man stumbled to pick her up
"Mate you best be not messing with my lass," Jack said, he was on the verge of getting drunk but still kept his bearings.
The man was so drunk he dropped Lin right on the dirt ground. She lay there unconscious while Jack shot the man with his pistol. He picked up Lin and hurried back to the room her had rented. Jack lay there next to Lin and kissed her. He didn't mind that his night of drinking rum was ruined, just that Lin was safe. Jack lay there and watched Lin until he fell into a deep sleep. It was a loud night in Tortuga but towards about 4am the town was sleeping and quiet. The only sounds that you could here were the ocean waves.
Again I;m sorry this is so short but from what I've been writing in my notbook makes each chapter shorter. I have no idea hot rum tastes good so live with it. PLease REVIEW! savvy?
