Chapter Eleven: Mr. Gibbs?!?!?
Later that night we were at Tortuga and it surprised me of how fast we have arrived there.
"Stay with me, love. I've a fear you might get hurt here." Jack said and we went on our way…
…
"More importantly it is indeed a sad life that had never breathed deep this sweet bouquet that is Tortuga, savvy?" Jack said. I looked at him dumbfounded and confused.
"How can this place be so sweet? It's awful." I said he looked at me like I've gone crazy. Will was also wondering what I was.
"Well, how can it not be sweet? No rules." he said, he then turned to Will.
"What do you think?" he asked Will. Will looked at him and nodded.
"It'll linger." William said. I sighed and shook my head. Jack went back to talking.
"I'll tell you, mate. If every town in the world were like this one, no man would ever feel unwanted." Jack said. I gasped. He looked at me as did Will.
"Something the matter, love?" Jack asked. I shook my head.
"No, I just…never mind." I said and we went on.
A woman with red hair walked over to us. Jack smiled, and I felt my inside go in knots, and I've no reason as to why.
"Scarlett!" Jack said happily. I felt worse than before. A feeling in the pit of my stomach, I couldn't quite tell what it was. She smacked him and walked off.
"Not sure I deserved that." Jack said.
He looked at me. I looked to the ground, I knew when I was sad, or felt unwanted, and this was when I felt unwanted. Just as he stood straight again, a blonde headed woman came. I watched again.
"Giselle!" Jack said.
"Who was she, and who is she?" she asked. He looked confused, and I knew Will looked at me.
"It's alright, Shyla. He might have a good reason for this." Will whispered to me. I looked at him like he was crazy.
"So, why would I care?" I asked trying to sound like I could careless, but I feared that my voice betrayed me as Will gave me a sympathetic look.
I heard him sigh and I looked once again to see Jack get slapped, I felt worse then the first. I felt a tad bit jealous. I figured this was how he wanted his women, filthy, and giving them selves to anyone.
"I may have deserved that." Jack said. He once again looked at me, and I once again lower my eyes to the ground.
We then walked to a pig pin, and I seen a fat man that looked quite familiar lying on some pigs. I held my nose.
"Oh, how disgusting." I said. Jack looked at me.
"What do you expect, love?" he asked me. I didn't answer him. SO he threw some water on the man, who woke up quite weirdly if I may say.
"Curse you for breathing, you slack-jawed idiot!" the man said. I felt my eyes go wide with fear. The man looked at Jack, and smiled.
"Mother's love! Jack! You should know better than to wake a man when he's sleeping. It's bad luck." he said. I gasped.
"No wonder I've been having the lot of it." I whispered. Will looked at me. I shook my head.
"Ah, fortunately, I know how to counter it. The man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink. The man who was sleeping drinks while listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking." Jack said. I looked at Will more confused then ever.
"Did you get any of that?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Oddly enough, yes." he said. Then added.
"Did you?" I shook my head.
"Not at all." I said shaking my head in disbelief.
"Aye, that'll do it." the man said. I sighed.
"Ok, I got it now. May we go, Captain Sparrow?" I asked. Jack turned to me.
"Hush woman, I'm busy here." he said. I gasped.
"Oh, why you…--" I was cut off by the man.
"Shyla, is that you?" he asked. I looked at him confused, and then it hit me and I smiled.
"Mr. Gibbs?" I asked. He nodded with a smile.
"Look at ye, ye gotten beautiful." he said. I smiled and blushed.
"Thank you, Mr. Gibbs."
"You know each other?" Jack asked pointing to each of us. I rolled my eyes, a pure genius that one is.
"Yes, Captain…we know each other." I said with a hint of 'duh' in my voice. Will splashed him with water once more.
"Blast! I'm already awake!" Gibbs yelled I laughed a little.
"That was for the smell." Will said. I tried to hold in my laughter.
