I'll Take my Chances

Chapter 19

The Pearl set sail that night, at top speed they sailed as far away as they could to get away from Beckett. They knew that he would be watching them so the travelled one way, then douched the lamps and turned and sailed into another direction to fool Beckett.

Their plan seemed to be working, Beckett did not know that they were going East when The Endeavour were going West.

The sun had rose and it Jack and Elizabeth had not had much time to talk as they were doing jobs on board to get away from Beckett. Elizabeth stood leaning against the rails smiling to herself knowing she was happy where she was.

Jack had watched her from the wheel, not making the same mistake twice of letting her go. His eyes never moved as Gibbs came up the stairs.

"Go and see her Jack, If you don't stop staring, you might crash the boat into rocks or something"

"I'll Take my chances" Jack smiled to himself, Gibbs was right, he should go and see her. He walked down the stairs, Elizabeth could here him come down the stairs, she smiled, she knew it was him by the sound he made when he walked, it was uneven as if he was drunk.

He walked up behind Elizabeth and wrapped his arms around her waist, he turned around at his touch, now inches away from his face. Jack smiled, he liked having her close and it was even better now that they weren't in an argument. Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Jack's neck and kissed him deeply. Jack moved his hands from her waist up her back until he got to her hair, he began to play with it. Jack smiled at her and picked her up, still with her arms wrapped around Jack's neck. He walked her to the cabin and kicked the door open and closed the door by backing up on it. He dropped Elizabeth and she unhooked her arms from his neck and gave Jack a sweet smile, and he smiled back.

"Your so cute when you smile" he said, she looked at him and gave a little giggle. She took Jack's hat off of his head and played with it in her hands and smiled at his. She looked up at him.

"Jack" he placed his hands on her waist. "What do you desire?" Jack grinned and looked at her, then his hat.

"My hat back please" Elizabeth laughed and stepped back playfully "First you have to catch me" Jack gave a half moth grin and rolled his eyes and playfully started to chase her round the cabin. Elizabeth couldn't stop giggling a she was running.

They both got to the table, Elizabeth one side and Jack the other, Elizabeth pretended to go one way and Jack pretended to follow but, being as smart as Jack, he knew she was going the other way, and grabbed her and they both fell onto the bed.

Jack was now laying on top of her, both out of breath, she placed his hat on his head. "Your so cute when you are out of breath"

Jack was breathing heavily and so was Elizabeth, they both lay there and stared each other in the eyes.

"So Jack, what do you desire now?" Jack gave her a reassuring smile "You" he said kissing up her neck till he met her lips. "And what do you desire Lizzie"

"You" she said.

"Are you sure, do you think it's wise, I mean I am a Pirate!" said Jack in a manly and quirky voice.

"I'll Take my chances" she whispered, he kissed her on the neck, and lay on the bed together in each others arms, until they fell asleep.
