Chapter 2: Just Trust Me
Michelle still stood there like a statue at the door. Jack just stared at her, wondering what she was waiting for and cleared his throat, "You going to open that door sometime... I don't know.. today? I hope?"
She rolled her eyes and released the door knob, "Can you shut up? Look, I'm trying to think of what I'm going to tell Angie. I'm sorting it all out in my head."
Jack put his hands up defensively, "I really don't see what the big deal is. Surely you two have had guests before."
Michelle's head dropped in frustration, "Yes we've had plenty of those. Just, you know, none of them were pirates or Captain Jack Sparrow." She answered sarcastically.
Jack grinned at her aggrivation with him, it was rather fun listening to her heated replies. "I suppose that could be a problem aye? Well then, I've got an two ideas. If the first one doesn't work we'll try the second. Savvy?"
She nodded, intrigued by what he said, "Yea ok, what's your idea?" She asked with a smile, glad that he was finally being serious about the situation.
"Ok, we walk in. And you say 'Look Angie! This is my new lover!'. That way you won't have to tell her the truth AND we can sleep in the same room and play the lie out!" Michelle's expression darkened immensly, she thought he was going to be serious about the matter, "Well the stories about you being a womanizer were definately true that's for sure. No Jack, no."
"I thought you'd say that. Well then, let's go with my second idea shall we?" He said, walking passed her and opening the door. Her eyes nearly popped out of her skull, "JACK! What are you doing?" She shouted, running after him into the house.
Angie stood by the stove, staring at the two as they entered. Michelle mentally smacked herself, wishing now that she would've agreed to the first idea.
"Ummm... hello. Who are you?" Angie asked with one raised eyebrow, noting the man's strange stance.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow young missy. I just lost me ship and entire crew, washed up here on the shores of Curacao, and was offered to stay here by this generous young lady." He said quite cheerfully as Michelle stood behind him and practically died from the shame of it all.
Angie's jaw just dropped, "J... Jack Sparrow?"
"CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow."
"Michelle... did this man threaten you into this? Tell me the truth! No lies!" Angie said as she pointed her spatula at Jack, "And you, shush while she's talking."
Jack gladly complied and waited as Michelle finally came out from her hiding spot behind him.
"Angie I'm sorry! He didn't threaten me.. I was.." She sighed, "On my way to the Parkers, and I found him washed up on the beach nearby. I thought that maybe he was dead but he woke up suddenly and we just got to talking... Please forgive me Angie! I know we don't have much money but he just.. doesn't have anywhere else to go. I'll take full responsibility of him if you're that mad about it ok?" Michelle pleaded with closed eyes, afraid of what Angie was going to say.
Angie just lowered her spatula and smiled, "Ok. It's fine with me if he stays I don't mind. Come on Michelle we aren't THAT damn poor."
"Y... You mean you don't mind? Well.. I wasn't really worried about the money part. The fact that he's Jack Sparrow I thought would be the part you wouldn't like." Michelle said, relieved at Angie's easy going response. Jack just stood there silently as he listened to the two girls.
"Well from what you two just told me it sounds like he's been through alot. Plus, I know he may be Jack Sparrow, but stories are stories. You can't judge someone by them right?" Angie said, as she stirred the contents in the pot. Michelle's spirit lifted, the frustration in her mood suddenly disappeared.
"If I may be so bold as to interject my professional opinion?" Jack asked Angie before talking.
"If that's your way of asking me if you can talk now, yeah go ahead." Angie replied as she began pouring the contents of the pot into three bowls.
"You two really don't have to view me as a burden. As long as I'm here, goods brought here are on me. Savvy?" Jack said confidently.
"Really? Well thanks Jack that's real kind of you!" Angie replied happily. Michelle just stared at him, who did he think he was fooling?
"And how is that possible? You've got no money on you!" Michelle said, staring hard at the captain. Jack's smile faded as he turned back to her.
"Actually love, you'd be surprised how much money I've got on me. But the fact of the matter is, either way it wouldn't make a difference. You're obviously forgetting who I am, aye?" He said as he approached her.
"No I know. You're CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow. You're basically saying you're going to steal these goods right? How does that work when you have no ship to get away on?" She asked him, doubtful that even Jack Sparrow was that clever.
"Don't ask questions love. Just trust me." He said, sending chills down her spine. Why she didn't know, but it was getting kind of awkward for her.
"Well! Follow me then Jack, I shall show you to the bath now!"
"Bath?"
"I told you, if you're staying here, you're bathing!" Michelle said with a smile as she walked out of the kitchen and into the hallway. Jack just followed with his usual stumbling body movements.
"You'll be bathing too I imagine?"
"Nope!"
Angie just watched in dismay as the two disappeared from the kitchen and sighed. The turned to the bowls of food and looked back in the direction they had left.
"Well fine! You two can just eat your dinner COLD then!"
That's all for Chapter 2. Sorry it's so short once again. Please review 3
