Chapter 10
The sun's warm rays was the first thing Ana felt as she woke up. As she tried to sit up, a wave of pain hit her head as if someone had stabbed her head with a hot poker.
She went over to the washbasin to get some water, and felt a cool breeze; she looked down and saw she was naked.
"How in the bloody hell-" She started as she turned around and saw her clothes on the floor.
As she ran over to her clothes she had the strangest feeling that someone was watching her. She spun around really quick and saw Jack watching her.
"Jack what are my clothes doing on the floor?"
Jack stretched before getting out of the bed, "they kinda found their way there I suppose."
Ana got his innuendo and blushed. Jack got out of bed and hugged a still naked Ana who was trying to cover herself with her dress. He loved the feel of her up against him.
"Jack do you have anything for my head it's killing me.
"No but my sister makes a tea that can fix that."
"Well why does my head hurt so much?" She asked rubbing her head.
"It's called a hangover luv, you get it from drinking too much." He answered as he helped her into her chemise.
"But I've never drank before." She said dazed as she sat back down on the bed.
"Yeah I know you could barely hold your 3rd glass, and you were mumbling something in your sleep."
"Really?" She asked playfully smirking as she motioned him over to the bed, "and what may I ask was I mumbling about?"
"Something about the night you almost died." Recalled Jack.
Ana's face paled as what he said blasted through her hangover and hit her full on in the face.
It seemed at first that she couldn't find the words to speak, but after a while she did.
"I told you about it!" She squeaked.
"No you just said I should've been there the night you died."
Ana was silent, she didn't know where to begin. She wanted to tell Jack, but she was afraid of what he was gonna say.
"Ana...Ana...Ana?" Called Jack as he snapped his fingers and got her attention.
"Huh?"
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."
"Oh okay, I think I'm gonna go see if your sister can fix that tea for me." Said Ana as she walked towards the door.
"All right." was all Jack said as he watched her walk out the door.
As she walked into the kitchen her eyes felt like they walked into the sea. Teh room was a bluish green with a white border and had many pots and pans hanging in the middle of the kitchen above the counter.
As she walked over she saw a woman bent over the stove trying to light it.
"Um excuse me, are you Jack's sister?" Asked Ana.
The woman turned around, "yes I am, and who might you be?"
The woman was young from Ana's guess around her mid-twenties no more than twenty-three. Once she turned around Ana noticed how beautiful she was. She had the same tanned skin as Jack's, but she had green eyes about the color of clover that gave her a mysterious appearance. Her brown hair was wrapped in a bun with curls that lined her face adding even more to her mysterious look. Taking another look at her Ana saw that she was wearing a green square bodiced dress that matched the color of her eyes.
"My name is Anamaria, but everyone calls me Ana for short." Introduced Ana as she shook the woman's hand suprised that such a beautiful woman had such rough hands.
The woman's eyes sparkled with recognition as she smiled revealing nice straight teeth. "I know who you are! You're the one who Jackie keeps talking about! You konw I've never seen him so into a girl as he has been with you."
Ana smiled at that thought. "He's been talking about me?"
"Oh yes, you should hear how he talks."
"How I talk about what?" Came a voice that caused the both of them to turn around.
Ana walked over to Jack, "How you talk about me. I hope it hasn't been bad."
"Oh not all of it has been bad." He joked sarcastically resulting in a playful hit on the arm from Ana and a smirk from her sister.
"So what have you two been planning down here?" He asked as he sat down in a chair.
"Oh nothing I was just about to ask your sister for a cup of tea for my headache." Replied Ana as she sat down in his lap.
As his sister was fixing the tea, Ana asked Jack what his sister's name was.
"It's Solange." He answered as he rubbed her thigh.
Solange came back over waving the teakettle at his face, "hey you, keep your hands where I can see them. I don't like to think about where my brother's hands have been so early in the morning."
Jack held up his hands in mock suprise "Is every woman out to ruin my fun today?"
"No just her." Replied Ana as she lightly kissed him on the lips.
"Anyways Solange tell me about you and Jack."
Solange put some herbs that she pulled out from a cabinet and set the teakettle on the stove.
"Well let's see I'm 23 and Jackie just turned 20 not too long ago. I'm the better looking one."
Jack gave her a playful scowl as she continued on.
'We both came from France with our parents Camille and Phillip. Father had been a sailor, and mother was a stay at home mom that put up with our craziness. When jack was 12 Phillip, our dad died when one of the ships he was on crashed during a storm. 2 months later Camille still overcome with grief moved us from Paris to Port Royale. It was difficult at first to learn English and the customs of the English, but after awhile we just adapted."
Ana slowly nodded her head taking in all of the information she just learned.
"So where is your mum Camille?" Asked a curious Ana.
"Right here." Came a voice that made the three of them turn towards the opening in the kitchen.
There stood a woman who looked like the spitting image of Solange. she had tanned skin and black as night hair with green eyes that sparkled like emeralds. her hair was in curls giving her even more of a seductive look. She was wearing a dark yellow dress that fit perfectly to her slim figure.
"Ah mere sorry did we disturb your sleep?" Asked Solange with worry as she kissed Camille on each cheek.
Camilled slightly shook her head.
"Oh no I needed to wake up."
"Good morning mere." Greeted Jack as he kissed her cheeks also.
"Good morning mes fils." Greeted Camille sweetly as she sat down in a chair.
Camille noticed Anamaria and smiled sweetly revealing little dimples giving her a girlish appearance.
"And who is this beautiful woman?" Asked Camille her emerald eyes shining with curiousity.
"My name's Ana, and I'm not beautiful." Answered a bashful Ana.
Camille's eyebrows furrowed together in confusion "why not fille?"
"I mean compared to you and Solange and every other woman I've ever known I'm just decent."
Camille shook her head, "no no no, you have wonderful fae structure. You have high cheekbones, a nice pointed nose, full luscious lips, and magnificent brown eyes. I fanyone should be doubting their beauty, it would be Solange and I."
Ana smirked at the comment.
"so Ana you must be the one that Jack speaks so fondly of."
Ana looked at Jack who looked at her with a smirk on his face.
"And the same one who must have been making all that commotion last night."
Ana could feel herself blushing and Jack was looking away meaning that he was embarassed also.
"Aww there is nothing to be embarassed about, we have all had a night of passion in here. I think it is very sweet."
Suddenly the teakettle made a whistling sound meaning that it was ready. Solange handed Ana a cup of tea which smelt like peppermint and some other sweet smelling mints. As she drank the throbbing in her head suddenly was now a dull throb, and Ana was very grateful.
After finishing her tea Ana stood up.
"I'm sorry that I can't stay later, but I must be going."
Solange and Camille got up and hugged her.
"It's been so nice to meet you Solange and Mrs. Sparrow." Said Ana.
"Oh no the pleasure has been all ours, and call me Camille cheri."
"Okay Camille." Answered Ana.
"Good I think we will be getting along just fine." Smiled Camille.
Upstairs Jack was helping Ana get dressed.
You know mum only lets people she likes to call her by her first name."
"Well I guess I must have made a good first impression." remarked Ana as Jack zipped her up in the back.
"So what's the plan Miss Ericson?" Asked Jack.
"Well my parents are gonna yell at me for never coming home, then Elizabeth will yell at me for leaving her at the party and so will Chloe so I think I'll have to see you tomorrow." Said Ana.
"Okay."
Then Ana stood on her tip toes and lightly kissed him on the lips.
"Awww!" Came two voices. Ana and Jack turned around and saw Solange and Camile watching them from behind the opening kitchen like two little girls watching someone kiss for the first time.
"Will you two get out of here!" Yelled Jack.
"Come on Solange we know when we're not wanted." Said Camille faking hurt.
As they both ran off Jack and Ana were laughing.
After she finished laughing Ana started to walk out the front door, but Jack stopped her. Before she knew it he had spun her back around and was passionitely kissing her.
It didn't take long before she was kissing him right back.
Ana pulled away, "if we don't stop, I'll never leave."
"Is that so bad?" Asked Jack as he trailed a hand along her cheek.
Ana hesitated a moment, "yes now let me go." She said as she lightly kissed him on the lips.
"Alright." Jack said as he moved out of her way so she could leave.
"Thanks." Said Ana as she started to walk out the door.
Suddenly she was grabbed from behind by Jack.
"Jack!" Yelled Anamaria as she playfully elbowed him in the ribs while he kissed her on the neck.
"Sorry can't help myself luv." He said as he kissed her passionitely once more before he pushed her out the door.
Ana shook her head laughing, "that man."
