Chapter 2

"Hoist the sails!!!...Get the anchor up!!" Jack barked his orders at his crew

"Aye Captain" They shouted back

Jack stood at the wheel of the Black Pearl, the one thing he can call his own. The Black Pearl to him was freedom, something he owned that he could love that didn't nag, didn't hurt him, the only thing he could do was listen to the waves of the sea hit the ship and smile.

Elizabeth sat at the end of her table. At the other end was William.

Will "what's wrong?"

Elizabeth " oh, nothing I umm, just a bit under the weather" she said trying to convince him she was telling the truth.

Will "ok " he smiled and sat next to her and held her hand "if you want I'll take you to your room where you can rest"

Elizabeth felt guilty for lying to him, but she herself didn't know what was wrong. "ok that would be good"

Will took her hand and led her to her room, he sat her on the end of the bed and sat by her. He started to play with her hair and look deeply into her eyes.

Will "Elizabeth you look so beautiful in the candle light" She looked at him and smiled, he leaned in for a kiss and she didn't refuse. They started to get intimate and Will realized that she wasn't ill, but didn't care because he was enjoying himself. He moved his hand and put it on her hip and moved it towards the buttons at the from of her dress. He undone one and she gasped

Elizabeth "will " she said in a gasp and whisper

Will "Elizabeth " he said in the same tone

Elizabeth "no" she said in a quivering voice "i can't"

Will broke free and looked at her " why because your ill " he said in a stern voice. Elizabeth got upset at these words, she never meant to hurt him she just wasn't ready, so she ran out the door to get some fresh air. Will looked at the door and regretted being so harsh and forward. They had been arguing the last few days, and always seemed to make up, but this time felt different, he felt as though he had pushed Elizabeth.

--------

Elizabeth was walking on the dock crying.

Jack walked off his ship and stopped when he heard a faint cry. To him it sounded like an angel.

Jack "excuse me miss?"

She stopped in her tracks, wondering who said that.

Jack " Miss, are you ok?" he said in a confused voice

Elizabeth turned round "ummm... yes i suppose, i mean I'm not in the best of moods, who are you?" she had stopped crying, she was more interested in the rough looking man who seemed to care why she was upset.

He stood there and looked at a beautiful young woman, "my name? you ask?...is Captain Jack Sparrow"

She looked deep into his eyes and the biggest grin grew upon her face her smile reaching from one ear to the other "oh my...your THE pirate!"

Jack " THE pirates indeed... I..."

And before he could finish his sentence "you've sailed the seven sees, your the Captain of the Black Pearl, Your the legend that got away from the east India trading company without them even noticing!!...you. Your Captain Jack!!"

Jack was shocked at how much she knew about him and laughed "you no so much. Yet you forgot to mention...one...little...thing" after each word getting a little closer to him

Elizabeth "and what's that? " she said in a curious voice

Jack "how good i am...in the bedroom"

Elizabeth smiled and was shocked at the same time, this feeling felt different. She was curious why she wouldn't let Will speak to her like that, yet when Jack had said those few words she felt happy and tingly inside.

Jack looked at her and grinned "sorry Lizzie.. that was a bit forward of me."

Elizabeth " oh Jack,... yes it was "she gave out a little giggle which made him laugh as well. A loud grumble came from Jack

Jack "sorry luv, I'm just a tad hungry" he said holding his stomach

Elizabeth " would you like something to eat?"

Jack "yeah, why not...as long as your paying" They both laughed, and walked off together. Elizabeth forgetting about the argument she had with Will.

Jack and Elizabeth spent the evening together, drinking rum and eating expensive food, they giggled and laughed all night. Jack told her some of his great stories which she already knew, but pretended not to, to keep Jack happy.

It was the end of the night and Elizabeth realised she had to get back, Will may have done something wrong but she shouldn't block him out completely.

They stood at the bottom of the ramp to the Black Pearl.

Elizabeth "thank you Jack!... tonight has been really, really fun! and i wanted to thank you for that, its taken my mind off all my problems"

Jack "no problem Lizzie, any time!" there was a silence for a minute.

Elizabeth "well, not anytime because I'm sure you have places to be, better places then Port Royal and I'm sure you have better people to hang out with that some governors' daughter"

He looked into her eyes and moved closer to her, she locked eyes with him as he leaned in for a kiss, putting both his hands on her hips. They kissed for about 2 minutes and Elizabeth broke free in a panic.

Elizabeth "sorry Jack umm... i have a boyfriend, well at least i think i do" she let out a little giggle "but thank you, you really are a great man, and a great sailor" she looked down and started to mumbled "just what my father wants me to marry"

Jack looked at her "want me to walk you home?"

Elizabeth "no, its ok, goodbye Jack"

Jack "goodbye Lizzie" They stood and hugged for about 3 minutes trying to get every last moment of company, until Elizabeth broke free and slowly walked off. Jack watched her disappear into the distance and then retired to his cabin.
