I'm so sorry for the delay in writing. I've have work and school and thanksgiving on Thursday (yumm) and I had to go to my dad's this last weekend, and he doesn't let me on his computer, so I couldn't go on. I'm sorry again. But, here's more! R&R!

Chapter 3!

Jack was shocked beyond belief. His voice was trapped in his throat. His mind blocked of any thought of any kind. He shot up from his seat and jumped back knocking over the chair and backed up into the bookcase behind him and casing some books to fall to the floor.

"You seem surprised Jack." Elizabeth said with a slight chuckle in her voice.

"Not at all, love" he replied back still in shock.

They sat in silence taking in the first words said to each other in 3 years. 3 years. 3 long years. No talking, visits, letters, etc. Nothing. Elizabeth wouldn't admit it, but she missed Jack. And for Jack… he missed her as well. After at least thirty minutes of quiet and complete silence, Jack broke the quiet.

"So are ye' going te' take over me ship?" Jack said trying to keep a straight face knowing Elizabeth won't do it.

"ha ha. Captain Sparrow, I think you know to well that I wont." Elizabeth said in an almost giggle.

Again, there was an awkward silence.

I wonder if this is awkward since we never really talked after what happened on the Pearl. I mean, the kiss happened, and then Will saw. He never told me, but I saw it in his eyes. But, after we saved Jack, we never talked about the kiss. Or the problem that I kissed him then chained him to the mast to die from the horrible Kraken. Maybe I should say something. But, what? Elizabeth thought.

"I'm sorry Jack." she said to him flat out. She couldn't look at him straight in the eyes, so she was looking at the half finished rum bottle sitting on her desk. She looked at how calm it seemed.

"'bout what, darlin'?" Jack said. He knew what about, but he wanted to hear her say it and look at him square in the eye. He wanted to see her break. He wanted to forgive her.

"About," she had to pause. "Everything." She said.

Didn't expect for 'everything' Jack thought.

Everything? Are you crazy Elizabeth? Great, now I can't stop myself from saying it. Or change my words. I'm also confused, how am I sorry for 'everything'? I need some air. Elizabeth thought.

With those last thoughts, Elizabeth got up and walked out of the cabin.

"Huh, 'at was strange." Jack said to the empty cabin. He walked out of the cabin after Elizabeth. "Love, wait." He said to her finally catching up to her fast pace walking.

"What, Jack?" she said in an almost angry tone. Even though she had nothing to be mad or angry about. Most pf the crew from both ships stopped what they were doing previously and looked at Jack and Elizabeth.

"Miss Elizabeth?" Gibbs said to no one unparticular. And surprised as Jack was when he found out Elizabeth was the captain of the Secret.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After Elizabeth had her anger out a tiny bit from yelling at Jack just then, he did something unexpected,

He kissed her.
