Lauren smiled at him. He grinned and showed her the ship. There was something odd about the way she would look nervously around the boat, look nervously at him. He had heard stories about the young Lauren Smith. She was almost as famous as him.
"Who's this?" a woman asked. She had brown hair and fair skin.
"Lauren Smith. Lauren this is Elizabeth Swan." Jack said. Lauren shook her hand. Then a man with black hair and looked very familiar to Lauren walked up.
"Is this-"
"Lauren Smith. 'Course it is." Jack said. The man nodded and took her hand. "Will Turner." he said. She nodded. Wait! She did know him!
"Bootstrap Bill's son?" she asked. He nodded.
"I - you - your father - wow! You were a little older than me when I met you. I remember you know! I'm sorry bout your father." she said sadly.
"Oh...um...thanks?" he said un-easily.
"I was there when they pushed him off the plank. Little though. But, I escaped. I was there for the mutiny an' all. Terrible thing. He says - nevermind - so Jack, where's the rest of the crew?" she asked. She had almost told Will that his father always said Will was a good boy. For, she had met him, being captive and all.
"Righ' here. Who's this lass? Didn't I tell you i's bad luck to 'ave a girl on a boat?" a rather round man asked. Not too round. But, it looked like he had had much Rum in his life. "Bad enough with one girl. Now you bring two." he said, holding up three fingers. Oh yeah, he had had some Rum.
"This here, Gibbs, is Lauren Smith." Jack said. Gibbs' eyes widened. Along with the rest of the crew. A parrot sqauked. "Lauren Smith, wow what an honour." Lauren smiled an un-easy smile.
"She's almost as famous as you Jack." Gibbs said. Jack rolled his eyes and nodded.
"Yes well, the word there is almost." he said, putting a hand on Lauren's back. She shivered a little. "Lauren, dare to come with me? Captain's quaters?" Jack asked her.
"Um, love to." Lauren said. He smiled a toothy smile and they walked through the doors Lauren had just been peering into.
"How old is she?" Elizabeth asked.
"Probably 'bout nine teen now." Will said recalling the last time they met.
"And she's going in there with Jack? Alone? With Rum?" Elizabeth said.
"Good point." Will said and they turned to knock on the door.
Jack rolled his eyes, got up from the table and went to open the door.
"I am perfectly capable to know this girl with out laying a single finger on 'er." he said before closing the door in their faces. Will just shrugged.
"Where were we?" he asked her.
"The part where you got back the Pearl." she said. And he proceeded to tell her how he got the ship back.
"Jack, I d-do not thought - scuse me - think we 'ave had enough Rum." Lauren slurred.
"You are absoloutly right, my girl. Gill - no - Bill - no - Warner - no- umm...Will! Yes, Will! more R-rum." Jack said. Will handed him more Rum while looking at Elizabeth, she rolled her eyes. Lauren took a sip from the bottle and handed it to him. He winked at her and sipped. SHe blushed.
"Look, we are going to bed." Elizabeth declared. Will got up and followed her.
"Thought they never leave." Jack said. Lauren agreed.
"Want to know a secret?" Lauren asked, leaning into him.
"What?" he asked.
"You smell nice." she said stupidly. She had to be drunk!
"Why thank you." he said. She tilted her head back and he kissed her lips. Holding the Rum bottle in her hand, she slid her arms around his neck. Around two minutes later Jack passed out.
"That was the most romantic kiss of my life." she said to her self, looking at the passed out Jack. "Well, s'what I get for kissing while drunk." she shrugged and fell asleep where she was.
