I'll Take my Chances

Chapter 3

It was early morning and Jack Sparrow had slept behind a garbage pile. Elizabeth had a free day, no meetings, no important occasions, just a day to do as she wishes. Her first instinct was to spend the day with her father, but she wanted freedom, not to do what he wanted, so she decided to get out of the house before her father asked her to do something with her.

She walked along the beach and saw Jack Sparrow in the distance, his shirt off, in the sea trying to wash off the smell of rotten eggs and fruit. She smiled, and began to walk towards him.

"Mr. Sparrow, something wrong?" her sweet voice stopped Jack from his washing for a second, then he smelt the rotten eggs and carried on wetting his body with sea water.

"I smell like shit!" he turned around to see who was asking him questions, it was, to his surprise Elizabeth "oh, begging your pardon Lizzie, I did not mean to swear in your presence" she nodded

"Its fine Jack, and it's Elizabeth, not Lizzie" there was an awkward silence "please" she added

"Please forgive me" he said in a sarcastic voice, Elizabeth let out a little giggle, which made Jack turn around and stare at her.

"Are you following me Elizabeth, or is it just coincidence we keep meeting up?" he asked as he battle the sea water as he walked towards her.

"Simply coincidence"

They were inches apart, her dress getting wet from the water dripping off of Jack's muscular chest. He looked into her eyes and saw a sadness behind them, she longed for freedom, but couldn't have it, she was trapped in Port Royal. He moved his eyes away from hers, and looked at her lips, he then moved back to her eyes again, he saw hunger in her eyes.

"You can touch if you like" he whispered in her ear, he grabbed hold of her hand and moved it and placed it on his chest and let go. Her other hand followed and she began to feel his chest. Wow, he is so muscular. She looked up into Jack's eyes and realised what she was doing, and removed her hand quickly and looked down, she was ashamed.

"I'm sorry Jack, that was not entirely proper of me, sorry" she couldn't look him in the eyes, maybe a day out with my father would have been the better option, now look what you've done Lizzie, you've made a fool of yourself... wait, did you just call yourself Lizzie?

"Don't be sorry love, I wanted you to" I shouldn't of asked her to do that, damn you Jack, oh well, I still enjoyed it. "Want to see my Ship?" He asked her. Her head flung up and looked at Jack in disgust.

"WHAT!" she said

"The Black Pearl" he corrected her

"oh, sorry, yes that would be lovely"

"What were you thinking Elizabeth?" Jack sniggered and took Elizabeth's hand, leading her to the Pearl.
