Thank you dearly from the bottom of my heart to all of those whose reviewed. It makes me feel all tingly inside! Sorry if I don't update soon, but I am really busy. I'm really sorry that this was such a short chapter, but you know how I love suspense. This seemed like a good place to stop. You know what helps to make it seem longer? I you hit the little B button in the very upper right hand corner a lot of times, to make the font bigger, and if you hit the Restore down button that's next to the X that closes this window out. It makes that bar on the side of the page over there- get smaller. Gives you the illusion its longer.

Chapter Four- She's a Pirate

Elizabeth followed Jack into the Captain's cabin. "Jack," Barbossa said. "You're forgetting something. I'm captain, remember?"

"Well that's just too bad, mate." Jack said, before shutting the door. He turned to Elizabeth. "I thought you were a pirate."

"Jack, I'm so sorry." Elizabeth fought back tears.

"A pirate would have never come back for me, luv."

"Jack…I…"

"Let me ask you one thing." Jack moved closer to her, only a few inches from her face. "How did it feel?" Elizabeth recognized this feeling of herself being so close to him. "I told you, you would be curious. Elizabeth, you like it." He was whispering this in her, as she closed her eyes and listened to his voice. "You want to taste that feeling again."

"Yes," Elizabeth whispered, then backed suddenly away from him. "I mean, no. No, I'm perfectly happy the way things are."

"Then tell me something, Lizzy." He moved back to the uncomfortable distance that he was before. "Why did you come back? You couldn't abandon me to my death."

"No, I couldn't."

Jack put his arm around Elizabeth's waist. "Jack, I'm so sorry." A tear streamed down her cheek. "I'm so sorry."

Jack brought up his hand and wiped away the tear. "Don't be sorry, luv. You did what every pirate would have done." He pulled her still closer to him. She could feel his breath on her face.

"Jack," She whispered. She closed her eyes and felt him bring his lips to hers. She suddenly was brought back to her senses. She pulled away from him. "Jack, what do you think you are doing?" She brought her sleeve up to wipe her mouth.

"Being a pirate." He shrugged. "That didn't stop you before. If you don't remember, you were the one that kissed me before, Lizzy. I think I deserve to punish you for that."

"Punish me by kissing me in return?"

"Fair is fair, luv, that's how it is."

"You're a pirate?" Elizabeth yelled. "Since when have you ever cared about being fair? For gods sake, Jack, I have a fiancé and I can't just go kissing you." She heard a cough outside the door, saying that some of the crew was listening, so she kept her voice down after that. "You need to stop this. I would have the perfect life if you would just let me live the rest of it with Will."

"You love Will?" Jack asked. "You honestly love Will?" Elizabeth nodded. "Alright then, you love Will. But what about me? Lizzy, I thought we had something."

"Since when do you ever think?" She snapped at him.

Jack went over and sat on the bed. "Come sit down." She refused. "Alright fine. You don't hate me as much as you are trying to convince me you do." He got up from the bed and went back over to her. "In fact I don't think you hate me at all." He walked behind her, twirling her hair in his fingers. He held her head, and whispered in her ear. "Lizzy, you love me."

"Jack that's absurd." She tried to pull away from him, but he grabbed her wrist, pulling her back, inches from his face.

"Fair is fair." He captured her lips once again. This time she didn't pull away. In fact, she deepened the kiss. He ran his hands through her hair, and down her back. She kept her hands on the sides of his face.

He finally pulled away, and looked her in the eyes. "Lizzy, you don't want a life with Will. You would be too bored for that. You want adventure and romance."

"Why says Will isn't romantic?"

"He's not that type, luv. But if you were a pirate, then you would stay here with me." She looked deep into his big brown eyes.

"What are you trying to say, Jack."

"I love you, Lizzy. Don't go with Will. Stay here with me. Run the ship with me." He smiled at his little fantasy.

Elizabeth's eyes turned sad. "Jack, I can't do that. I love Will."

"You don't love me in any way?" Jack asked. Elizabeth shook her head. "Liar." Jack smiled, sadistically.

"Jack, I really am, sorry."

"A real pirate wouldn't be sorry."

This time she was the one who leaned in to whisper in his ear. "But that wouldn't be the truth."

"It's not about the truth, luv."

They heard a frantic knock on the door, as Gibbs barged in. "Jack, we have a problem."

"Gibbs, I'm in the middle of something here. What kind of a problem is it?"

"A big problem."
