I'll Take my Chances

Chapter 24

Jack ran to the waters edge, looking back to see if Beckett had noticed they had escaped, he waited until Elizabeth had reached the land. He smiled as he was her walking through the shallow water towards him, dripping wet, the sun shining on her, smiling back at him.

Jack couldn't wait for her to get to him so he walked into the shallows of the water and hugged her tight. He opened his eyes as he was hugging her and saw that Beckett was searching for them.

Bugger

He looked her in the eyes and smiled, he kissed her hard, so hard that they fell over and were submerged under the water, still kissing Jack and Elizabeth were now under water, hiding from Beckett.

Jack had to think of plan soon, they needed to hide from Beckett, and they were running out of air. Elizabeth broke the kiss, her eyes opened widely, she waved her hands to show Jack she couldn't breath.

Bugger

Jack started to swim, pulling Elizabeth along, so they were under the dock floor. They were now in a confined dark, wet space. Jack surfaced first and looked down at Elizabeth and pulled Elizabeth up, just so that her head was above water. She gasped as she surfaced and started to cough uncontrollably. He comforted her as she coughed.

"Are you all right Elizabeth?" He smiled at her, she looked beautiful with wet hair. Still out of breath Elizabeth nodded, too exhausted to speak.

Bugger, now what?

"Now what" Elizabeth forced out, as she had lost her voice from being so cold and being deprived of oxygen. Jack grinned and looked down at her see through top.

"Well..." Jack said while unbuttoning her top. She slapped his face, as she could slap his hands because they were underwater.

"It was worth a try" Jack said, still unbuttoning her top.

"Jack!" She tried to shout but couldn't, it just sounded like a whisper.

"Sorry luv" Said Jack giving Elizabeth a seductive smile, she smiled to herself trying to hide it, but couldn't, Jack's grin got even bigger when he was her smiling.

"Right then luv, after three were going to run to that ship, run below deck and hide ?" Elizabeth said the idea in her head to understand it and then she nodded, he held onto her hand and counted. After three they both ran as fast as they could, onto a merchant ship and down below, to their luck no one saw them. The room was dark and full of crates and barrels.

They were hiding in a corner behind some crates, so there was not much space so they were huddled together.
