Author Note: I'm not so sure about this Chapter. It's the first time I'm writing one like this. I hope it isn't too bad. And here's a special thanks to pintels-poppet and i-don't-shut-up-i-grow-up for reading this story, and giving me reviews that motivate me to keep writing.

Chapter 5

The Unexpected Night

When Elizabeth awoke she struggled slightly. She looked down and saw that arms were wrapped around her. She gasped slightly and quickly pulled Jack's arms away from her body.

"What?" Jack questioned as his eyes widened when he realized she was awake. "What are you doing up?" He asked uneasily.

"Do you mind explaining yourself Mr. Sparrow?" She questioned him.

"I'm used to hugging a pillow when I sleep. I guess I did it unconsciously." He said as he cleared his throat.

"Hmmm…." Elizabeth said with a look that clearly stated she did not believe his story.

After that morning Jack made sure that he didn't fall asleep any where near Elizabeth. As the days passed the two began to learn more about the other. Elizabeth realized then, that Jack was right; they were like two peas in a pod.

Another day or so passed and it was clear to Jack that Elizabeth had gotten over the ordeal with Printel and Ragetti. But the truth was, was that Elizabeth had actually enjoyed the encounter, being ravished by pirates, it was a new experience for her and she couldn't resist not liking it. But of course no one could know that's how she really felt.

It had been a week, and Elizabeth was growing closer and closer to Jack. She had even cuddled with him by the fire, but of course that was due to the cold night air. The next morning when she awoke she felt slightly uneasy when she saw Jack staring at her with a sly smile on his lips.

"When you went to sleep last night, I found the stash." He said as he gestured to the trunk beside him.

"Did you find any food?" Jack shook his head.

"But at least we have rum." He said happily.

"At least we have rum," she repeated.

As the day went by Elizabeth had consumed several bottles of rum, much to Jack's surprise. Like before they were dancing about the fire singing the wondrous song Elizabeth had learned as a child. But this time it was Elizabeth who had fallen to the ground brining Jack down with her.

They sat on the blanket that Elizabeth had found in the rum room.

"Now this seems quite familiar." Jack said with a humble smile. His smile quickly faded into a frown when he felt the sting on his cheek from a slap. "What did I do now?" He questioned hotly.

"That was for trying to get me drunk last time." Elizabeth said with a small giggle. She then leaned forward and kissed him passionately. When she pulled back she laughing still, "That was for trying to do the same thing this time." She rested on his chest and heard his heartbeat. The slightly quickened rhythm began to soothe her.

Jack sat there completely in shock with what had just happened. What Elizabeth had just done. Without him realizing it he put his arm over Elizabeth's shoulders.

"I'm sorry, Jack."

"What for love?" He looked at her curiously.

"For Barbossa taking the Pearl from you again." She said simply as she looked up at him.

Jack shrugged slightly. "The Pearl always comes back to me. One way or another." He stared at the ocean as they sat in silence. "What about you? I mean you've lost the love of your life." He said sadly.

"I loved Will. But he was not the love of my life." Jack looked very confused and asked her to continue.

"My love Jack, had always been you. Ever since I was a young girl, I'd read stories about the dashing Jack Sparrow. You were almost like a fairytale prince." She said with a small smile. "As I read about you, the more I wanted to learn. And I soon began to realize that you never saved women in your adventures like in the fairytales. I'd always wished I'd be your damsel in distress. When I saw you looking down on me, the day I nearly drowned, I could have sworn I was in heaven. And there I was, playing the part that I'd always wished to play." She paused with a small laugh. Oh how I wanted to kiss you that moment. But I knew I couldn't. And I also knew that I could never be with you. You being a pirate charged with almost too many crimes to name, and I being the Governor's daughter.

"Yet here you are," Jack said as he stared at her. He never would have guessed that she had been in love with him, even before they met.

"Here I am. And I love you Jack." She said as she kissed him again.

As they kissed, and the kiss became more intense, Jack grabbed her waist and rolled over so that he was on top of her, and she was below him. She began to lift up her dress, and she put Jack's callused hand on her thigh.

She shivered slightly as he felt his rough skin touch hers.

"Are you sure you want this, love?" Jack asked as he pulled away to look into her eyes.

"More than anything." She said as she brought his lips back to hers.

Later that night Jack awoke to find Elizabeth snuggling up to his chest. He looked around and saw their clothes beside the blanket.

"Ah yes, now I remember," Jack said with a smirk.

"Jack promise you'll never leave me." She said as they made love. "Tell me you love me."

Jacked promised her and told him her loved her, though he was not sure if that was true. But what he did know was there he had deep feelings for her.

He ran his fingers along the curves of her body in a slow rhythmic motion. As he did, he became tired once again and fell asleep.

He awoke to the sun beating down on him. He expected to see Elizabeth still in his arms, but when he looked to see, she was gone, along with her dress. He cursed as he put his clothes back on.

"I'll get you Barbossa. And when I do, you're going to regret ever meeting me," He said angrily to the horizon.
