Leah and the Commodore were present. Leah's father Richard May was away on business. The two sat at opposites ends of the table and ate their meal as the butlers and maids brought it to them.
"Leah, I'm sorry if I seem forward but can ask you something?"
"Yes you may."
James walked over to the other end of the table. He gently knelt down and reached for something in his pocket. It happened to be a sliver ring with 3 diamonds encrusted in it.
"Will you marry me? Leah Emily May?"
"Oh, James. Your so sweet, but I'm simply not ready," she replied
"I see. Would you like to join me for dinner tomorrow night?''
"Um. Sure."
"Well, Leah darling I must go. A commodore has some important things to do."
"I bet you do. It was a pleasure having you, James."
He stood up and walked out. When Leah was sure he was gone she said:
"Gag me."
Jack's POV At the wheel of the Pearl.
Bloody me. I was so nervous when I saw her. Leah is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. The first time I met her I was already putting fine jewelry around her neck. Holy mother of child. I think she likes me. I can tell she likes me because how she stopped and stared at me. And how are chests were only inches apart. Well I guess I have to get somewhat dressed up. Maybe a new bandana? Maybe a coat?
The hours passed that were dreadfully long. About 20 minutes before dinner, Leah and Elizabeth sat down in Elizabeth's room and Jack and Will sat in Will's room.
In Elizabeth's room….
"You like him don't you?" Elizabeth asked
"It's hard to say. Half of me wants to stare into those eyes and the other half says propose to James. I hope the half that is holding back become part of the half that is reaching out."
"So you do then?"
"Yes. I do. A lot"
Will's room….
"You like her don't you ?" Will asked
"Part of me does. I love her she's beautiful, stunning and the girl of my dreams. But the other part of me says that if you love a woman of nobles your going to face the gallows. I really do like her."
"Wow. That was deep. It was almost like me and Elizabeth. Kind of…"
In both rooms…….
"I'll be right back" Elizabeth and Will said
The two closed the doors and went out into the hallway.
"Leah likes Jack."
"Jack likes Leah."
Wow, that was a cliffhanger. LOL! By the way how do you check how many hits your story has?
