You heart pounds faster than your feet as you race back to the Pearl.
You almost made it, too.
Someone reached out and grabbed you, kissing you passionately. You didn't know who it was, so you took your knife and stabbed madly. You finally pricked your target on the arm.
"What are you doing?" The man pulled himself off you, caressing his wound.
A look at his face reveals the ugly truth.
It's Jack.
You swear silently to yourself. Remembering you are dressed in your disguise, you are suddenly appalled. Why would Jack be kissing a man? You wipe your mouth in disgust.
"Uh, Sir," you say, deepening your voice, "I'd best be going now. So if you'd be so kind as to leave me alone."
Jack calmly reached up and took off your bandanna. You hair spills out onto your shoulders. You smile, blushing.
"Lass, if you wanted to see me, all you had to do was ask."
"I did."
"Oh."
"Why on earth did you kiss me if you didn't know who I was, let alone a dude!"
"Dude?" he repeated, unfamiliar with the term.
"Man."
"Did you really think I didn't know who you were?" he asks you. He strokes your face with the very tips of his fingers.
You smile. He takes that differently than you intended, and softly kisses your lips. You don't mind the misunderstanding, and give in to the kiss. His mouth on your is one of the best feelings in the world.
He pulls away minutes later. You wish he didn't.
Together you walk back to the Pearl.
Jack stops in another tavern. He insisted you go on without him.
You shrug. "Are you sure? I mean, something could happen to me." Your tone is far from serious.
He knows it. He smiles. With a passionate kiss, he leaves you alone. "Must have the rum, darling lass. You understand." A smile and another passionate kiss.
You grin to yourself and walk on to the Pearl.
You almost made it, too.
A/N: Sorry for it being so short again! If you have any ideas, let me know. I'm kind of having trouble with the plot line. Please R&R. Thanks!
