Chapter 4- Reunited and Proposal
Barbossa and Rachel were sitting on the edge of her bed kissing passionately. They start to run their hands in each other's hair. His hat and coat are already off. Both of them had their shoes off. He starts to take his shirt off. She rubs his smooth chest. They lie on top of the bed kissing. She lies on top of him and snuggles close. He puts his arms around her and holds her tight. They slowly fall asleep in her bed.
The next morning...
Barbossa wakes up and wonders where he is. He looks down at Rachel and remembers the night before. He slowly eases himself out of the bed, careful not to wake Rachel. He yawns and stretches. He puts on his boots. At that moment, Rachel wakes up and walks over to him. She puts her arms around his neck and asks, "When are you leaving Tortuga Hector?" "I don't know Rachel, probably in a week at most." "If only you didn't have to leave so soon." "Wait just one moment Rachel. I have an idea. Come with us. You would not be the only female. Alexis and Hector can come too." "I'd have to ask them first. I'd love to but, they have a say in it too." As if on cue, they hear Alexis and Hector going from their rooms to the kitchen. Rachel sighs and says, "We could ask them now." "That would be best for us all." He grabs his shirt and puts it on. He then grabs his coat and hat and walks to the kitchen with Rachel. Alexis and Hector are standing there waiting for them. Rachel takes a deep breath and says, "Kids, We have something to ask you." "I was wondering if you guys would join the Black Pearl's crew. Your mother has been yearning for the sea since before I met her. She has refused every offer in the past to join me and has finally accepted it. We would like you two to come with us if you want. She won't go without you two." Alexis shrugs and says, "I'll go anywhere that involves the sea." They all look at Hector. He sighs and says, "Looks like I'm out numbered." He says this with a smile. Rachel hugs Barbossa tightly. He tells them to bring two sets of clothes with them each. The two teenagers go into their rooms. Barbossa says to Rachel, "We should find Jack and let him know." She grabs two sets of clothes. She then opens the chest at the front of the bed. She takes out a belt with two swords and a pistol. Barbossa asks, "Whose are those?" "They were my father's. He left them in my care when he died. I was 16 and I know how to fight. He taught me everything he knew." "That will come in handy." At that moment Alexis emerges from her room. She walks to her mother's room. Barbossa hears her and looks over at Alexis. He says, "Tell your brother that you two need to meet us at the port. I have to do something first. Meet us there in an hour and a half." She nods. At that, Barbossa and Rachel leave the apartment. He leads her to the beach. It is deserted. He takes her hand and tells her, "I've wanted to do this for a long time." He gets down on one knee and asks her, "Rachel Valdez, will you be my bride?" Rachel puts her hand to her mouth and starts to tear up. She nods and says to him, "Yes, I will marry you Hector Barbossa!" He takes one of the three rings on his fingers off and tells her, "This ring is very special to me. When we are married, this will be the ring I will give you to symbolize our marriage. I love you Rachel Valdez." "And I you, Hector Barbossa." They kiss passionately for a few minutes. They then remember that they need to meet Alexis and Hector at the port. They rush off to meet them.
