Chapter 20: Swimming in the Sea:

The sun rose slowly but gave me an uncomfortable start when the first ray of light peeped round a blackening cloud and seared into my eyes and waking me up in a fit of blindness. The second thing that hit me was the sharp aching pain in my back where I had been laying in a most uncomfortable position all night long. The third thing that hit me was the cold sogginess of my clothes where the sea had sprayed and splashed its crystal waters over my body throughout the night. Finally I realised that there was a soft and slightly warm body laying beside me…Jack.

Rolling over I saw a crinkling grimace emitting from Jack's face as he woke himself with the same discomfort as I did. I sat up and rubbed the sore spot on my back whilst stretching out the aching muscles on my neck and arms.

"Comfy," muttered Jack doing the same.

I turned around and gazed out into the ocean. The smallest prick of pin points stood faintly upon the horizon…Jamaica.

"We are swimming all the way over there?" I asked faintly.

"Aye,"

"No,"

"What?"

"I am not doing it… I'll…I'll drown!"

"Well its either that or wait here for the fishies to eat you," Jack mused, "It's not really that far."

"NOT THAT FAR?!?!?!? Are you MAD Jack Sparrow? Its bloody miles! Plus its going to rain!" I couldn't believe it…I would never make it that far. Sure I could swim but this was just ridiculous!

"Well we'll be wet anyway," he shrugged turning away from me.

A large splash erupted from the water before me and my eyes flashed to see Jack swimming in the freezing water. Mad…absolutely mad.

"Come on luv!" he laughed.

I took a small step forwards ready to take a gentle ladylike slide into the water only my foot managed to land itself on the slimiest, wettest and most slippy piece of coral there was in the whole ocean! My foot whooshed out in front of me causing my body to turn horizontal to the water before I landed forcefully into the deep blue waters in the most un lady like way possible.

Once my head managed to push its way up through the top of the water my ears were immediately hit by the sound of Jack roaring with laughter.

"Jack! It's not funny!" I protested at once, "Shut up!"

But this caused him to erupt in another wave of laughter. My face turned scarlet with anger and I leapt forwards on top of his head forcing his still dry hair into the water. He returned to the surface as angry as I had been moments ago but with the most hilarious hair I had ever seen. His dreadlocks were soaked and small wisps of soaking hair had stuck themselves to his face making him seriously comic.

I laughed my head off pointing at his hair just in case he didn't know what I was laughing and just to make sure that his humiliation was doubled.

A large raindrop landed next to me.

Jack's face was a sight for sore eyes, his eyes were almost popping out of his head with anger. He took a leap for my head and sunk it like I did to him, not that it would make much difference though because my hair was already dripping with water from when I had fallen in.

I emerged and simultaneously began dunking each other in the water and jumping on top of each other to make it more forceful. The anger ebbed away and a giggle sneaked past my lips followed by another and another.

It was raining heavily now.

Jack let out a roaring laugh and we continued our game.

Sheets of rain hit us unnoticed.

I lunged at his head again but this time he caught my wrists and held them tightly. We both laughed for no reason and then…

I saw those sodden dreadlocks move closer…

The shivers up my spine multiplied by a thousand…

The laughing stopped and…

And…

We kissed.

His hand ran down my spine and my hands ran their way through his dreads. It felt so good… so warm… his beard tickled my cheek but I didn't care.

All I knew was the warmth and how good it was. How much I cared for him.

And then it stopped. I opened my eyes and looked deeply into those chocolate brown eyes which seemed to go on forever and I smiled at his smiling face.

There was a pause, a hesitation until I shyly looked down to the bright blue sea.

Then I gazed at the sky…what had seconds ago been thick black clouds and sheets of freezing water hitting a black sea was now quite quite different. There was not a single cloud in the sky and the hot sun pounded down on us from the bright blue waters which was reflected by the sea.

Then I felt a tell tale prickling just above my right wrist where the tattoo of the Magpie lay. The Sparrow and the Magpie reunited again?
