"Fiona my precious I think its time for us to sort out the living arrangements while you will be staying here. Obviously as I said before for the first few nights you will have to sleep here my dear as we need to sort out some other accommodation for you. You will take my bed and I will sleep on my hammock."
"But Captain!" Fiona started and got a look from Hook.
"It's James remember Fiona?"
"James you don't need to give up your bed, I will be perfectly comfortable on the hammock, I have slept in a lot worse."
"No my dear you will have the bed and that will be an end to it. I will go and find some night clothes for you, I'm afraid it will probably just be one of my night shirts as we do not often accommodate women on board. The dress you are wearing has not been used for many, many years. Please make yourself comfortable I will go and find everything you will need for your stay with us, I will also try and locate another dress for you which is longer and covers your legs. Will that satisfy you my dear?"
"I would much rather have my own clothes James."
"I am afraid they will not be ready for tomorrow, our wash day is not for another two days and you will not get them back till then."
"If you let me I can wash them tonight."
"No, you will just wait and you will have them when I have them washed for you. I promise that no-one will see your legs apart from me my dear Fiona and I do not mind in the slightest." Hook said raising his now hook less hand to show exactly how much he didn't mind.
"Now just stay here and make yourself at home."
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Fiona sat back in the chair and breathed in deeply, it wasn't soo bad now that she and James had come to an agreement. She no longer had to be constantly on her guard, although she decided that it would still be prudent to keep an eye out for a means by which to get home. She trusted James would keep his word but that didn't mean that he wouldn't take his time about it. She needed to get back before she started to get too comfortable with Neverland and its adventures. Having closed her eyes she didn't know how tired she was as she fell into a light slumber in an awkward position. When James returned he found her slumped in her chair with her head at an awkward angle.
"Tut, tut my dear this will never do, sleeping like this will make you very grumpy and sore in the morning and I don't think I want to have to handle a grumpy female. Maybe the sleeping potion was a little too strong for you I didn't expect you to be out this soon. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using it for men." Said James chuckling to himself as he approached Fiona. "Fiona my dear I think its time we got you to bed." He said as he shook Fiona and then lifted her into his arms.
Fiona slowly opened her eyes and looked up into the face of the notorious Captain James Hook who was smirking down at her.
"Put me down!" she said sleepily.
"My beauty I do believe that you are in no fit state at the moment to put up much of a fight, It would seem that you are far too tired. Now I do feel that it would be more prudent for you to remain in the dress tonight but I insist in loosening the ties as it will not be comfortable to sleep in all night."
Fiona tried to put up a fight insisting that she could do it herself but with every passing second her strength was fading and her eyes were drooping shut, until finally she was fully asleep. James finished off loosening the ties on the back of her dress and laid her under the covers on his bed.
"There you are my dear, you will be more comfortable now and I will get a good nights sleep, and you will be comfortable and safe." James removed hair from her face and then caressed her cheek. Just admiring her beauty, and wishing that she would just give him a chance to get closer to her. James then bent over and gave her a swift kiss on the forehead. "Goodnight precious, sweet dreams." James then left her and went to his hammock and settled down for the night knowing full well that she would still be in his bed in the morning.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
The sun rose slowly in Neverland giving a sunrise that literally took the breath away, Captain James Hook always woke early because of this phenomenon he had an appreciation for natural and synthetic beauty. He was eager to let Fiona share this with him, he hoped that she would open up more and relax around him if he showed a sensitive side.
"Fiona my dear its time to get up, I have something I would like to show you something I think you will really like."
"MMM 5 more minutes Lizzy."
"Wake up Fiona, Its not Lizzy Its James." Hook smiled at the cute face that she was making. Her eyes all scrunched up and her lips pouting. Her eyes then suddenly flew open at the mention of James's name.
"Wh…where am I?" Fiona said in a sudden panic. James was in front of her quickly trying to calm her.
"Fiona calm down, its James remember? You are in Neverland."
Fiona calmed on hearing this, all the events of the past few days finally caught up with her.
"My dear I just want to show you something spectacular." James reached for her hand and pulled her out of the bed. "Come my dear you won't want to miss this." James said starting to tug her towards the door.
"What is so important that you have to get me up this early?" Fiona asked annoyed but slightly curious as well, curiosity won out in the end as she permitted James to lead her out of the cabin.
"Fiona I want you to trust me." James held up a blind-fold in front of Fiona's face just before they were about to ascend the stairs to the deck.
Fiona backed up slightly and was about to answer when she was cut off.
"I won't harm you my dear, we have a deal and I am not going to break it, please just trust me."
Fiona after some thought allowed James to apply the blindfold to her face although she was still wary and ready to fight if she needed to. James waved his hands in front of her face and seeing that there was no reaction proceeded to take her hand and carefully lead her up the stairs onto the deck of his ship. Once they reached the railings James placed her hands on the railing and then stood behind her with his mouth really close to her ear.
"Now my precious I want you to think of the most beautiful thing you have ever seen and hold that image in your head as I remove the blind-fold." Fiona shivered and jumped because of his proximity.
"Don't do that."
"Do what? This?" James spoke into her ear again smirking.
"Stop it!"
"Okay, okay."
"Remember what I told you about the image, imagine it now! Have you got it?"
"Yes"
"Okay, 3…2…1."
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
