Chapter 9: The real meaning
Elizabeth woke up to the sound of pirates yelling and the rhythm of the Black Pearl, swaying in the boundless ocean.
She rubbed her eyes getting all of the sleep out of them and sat up. She reached for her boots and slipped them on.
She was about to leave, when memories of the night before flooded her mind. Of Jack's journal and newly discovered feelings. She walked over to Jack's desk and found the parchment with the poem on it.
She scanned it intently, but something wasn't right about it.
Why is the word 'swan' spelled with two ns?
"Morn' luv, how did my pirate lass sleep?"
Elizabeth was caught off guard, and instinctively shoved the note in her pocket.
"Very well, thank you."
Jack looked at her skeptically then added
"Up no good again eh?"
She smiled but then felt suddenly guilty
What if he knows I read his journal?
He doesn't, relax
I hope your right
"Ermm I was just admiring the lovely map on your desk Jack." She coyly answered.
Jack cocked his head and raised his brow with curiosity.
Curiosity, hmm that feeling has been bothering them both a great deal this journey so far.
"What's that you slipped into that pocket of yours Lizzie?" Jack mockingly asked.
She felt her face turn scarlet and pulled out the note.
"Just this Jack, nothing to worry about." She tossed him the parchment and strutted out the door.
"Thanks Lizzie." He mumbled wishing she was up to no good.
He straitened up and swaggered out of the room.
On deck Elizabeth was at the rail of the ship. She was looking at the never-ending line that connected the land to the sky. The horizon dipped down, giving it a curved appearance.
But there was something else on it, something that wasn't there before. It was a small dot on the large land-scape.
She squinted her eyes, trying to distinguish what it could be. She tilted her head, as if questioning the object with this one gesture. She looked even harder, and then realized it was an island.
She smiled at her discovery, then noticed the sky was bluer than usual today and the ocean was clear as day. She should just see the delicate forests of coral beneath the large ship.
Then, she moved her eyes from the ocean to the helm of the ship. Jack was standing there, in all his glory. His face may have been facing the sky, but his chocolate brown eyes were all on her.
He beckoned for her to come over to him with a wave of the hand. She beamed and ran over to Jack filled with excitement.
"How would you like to steer the Pearl? Eh Lizzie?" He questioned his soft eyes pleaded her to say yes.
"Aye Captain." She playfully responded putting on a mock serious face on. She gave him a solute then smiled.
"Now Lizzie, steering the Pearl is not a laughing matter, you have to be like me."
At this, Elizabeth broke out into a hysterical burst of giggles.
"What's wrong with me luv?" Jack asked pouting
Elizabeth couldn't stop laughing and then Jack's face lit up. He finally understood the joke.
"Not funny Lizzie, now do you want to steer the Pearl or not?"
"Yes." She replied exasperated
"Good now what you have to do first is put your hands here…" Jack took her hands and placed them over the spokes on the wheel with his hands covering hers. He dipped his head down and whispered in her ear "close your eyes."
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, a breath filled with freedom.
"How does it feel Lizzie?" Jack whispered again close enough now that Elizabeth could feel the heat admitting from his body through her clothes.
She let out a soft sigh and leaned back onto Jack. He took his hands off of hers and placed them around her middle. He rested his head on her shoulder and whispered a 'plan' of his into her ear.
She bursted into another fit of giggles and literally fell on the floor laughing, bringing Jack down with her. Elizabeth ended up landing on top of Jack which caused a comment from Jack.
"Oh, so you like to be on top don't you?" She just ignored him and tried to get up, but she fell again.
"Here luv, let me help you." He got up and offered his hand out to her.
She gingerly took it and was immediately pulled into his strong arms. Her face was just inches away, but they were interrupted by a very nervous crew member who just walked up.
"Urmm Captain? We have reached land."
Jack awkwardly nodded his head.
"Urm Lizzie you can go ter your cabin and wash up."
She silently shook her head and sundered to her cabin. She walked in and fell on her bed
He almost kissed me!
Yeah honey, ALMOST
Do you always have to ruin my day?
Maybe…
She immediately thought back to the note. She shot up and then realized, the note isn't about what Jack thinks, and it's about something totally different… now she just has to find out how to tell him…
