The lack of reviews are making me sad! Please leave your thoughts-they don't have to be long but just a little something to let me know you are liking/not liking the story would be great!
A few hours later I woke up to Jack's light snoring. He had put his arms around me and his knees were in the crook of mine. I tried to push him off of me but he only held on tighter. I sighed and whispered, "Jack" When he didn't move I poked him and whispered, "Jack!" a little louder. He just sighed and mumbled something in my ear. I shook his arm and he smiled.
"Stop it, love. I'm asleep."
"Jack…" I whined. "Get off of me!"
Jack fake-snored and held me tighter. After a few more minutes of struggling I gave up and went to sleep.
The next morning I woke up alone. I jumped out of his bed and threw on a robe over my dress. What happened last night? I walked out on deck and saw Gibbs at the helm. I walked up to him and he smiled.
"How do you do lass?" He asked.
"How do you do?" I said while curtsying. I looked around the deck, hoping to find Jack and ask him what I was doing in his room last night. I looked back at Gibbs who was staring at me, confused. "What? Just because my father was a pirate, doesn't mean I didn't go to finishing school."
Gibbs shook his head and chuckled.
"Where's Jack?" I asked.
"Uh, I think he's in the galley."
"Gracias!" I waved to him as I ran off to the galley. Hopefully it was in the same place as the galley in El Comandante. I opened a door and was relieved to see Jack lying down on the ground with a cloth across his face. I walked over and tapped his arm. He lifted the cloth off of his eyes and smiled. Before I could react he reached up and kissed my nose.
"What are you doing?" I asked while I stood up and winced. My hangover was about to take effect. Great. I sat down and Jack took the chair next to me.
"Just to make sure, we didn't…do anything last night…did we?"
Jack smiled at me mischievously then said, "I don't know love, did we?"
"Jack!" I said, panicking. "Don't tell me that-"
"Relax love, we didn't do anything." He said, looking offended. Then he muttered, "Unfortunately"
"What was that?" I asked, even though I had heard him.
"Nothing! Nothing…" He said, raising his hands in the air. He started walking towards the door.
"Wait, Jack! Where are you going?" I said, walking as fast as my head would allow.
"Back to my ship, love! I am the captain after all!" He winked and continued walking.
"Wait!"
"What is it, love?" Jack said, turning around to look at me.
"What am I supposed to do while you're steering the ship?" I said, throwing my hands up in the air.
"You're a woman, aren't you? Go…clean something." He continued walking and I sighed. When I went out on the deck I saw a man I recognized polishing the deck.
"Hola" I smiled at him. "Have we met before?"
He looked up at me from his work and then smiled. "I didn't know you spoke English."
"So we have met…" I laughed.
"Not formally." He said, then stood up and held out his hand. I took it tentatively then shook it. "I'm Andrew and you are…?"
"Talia." I smiled.
"So what brings you to The Black Pearl?" He asked but I didn't get a chance to answer. Jack had come up behind me and placed a hand on my waist.
"Mr. Andrew. Why on earth are you antagonizing this woman?" He said calmly.
"Sorry sir. Won't happen again sir." Andrew said as he bent his head down and went back to his work.
"Jack! He wasn't antagonizing me!" I said indignantly, playfully hitting his arm. He looked down at Andrew who went back to his work. Then he leaned towards me until his lips brushed past mine. He placed delicate kisses from my cheek to the tip of my ear and whispered,
"You can never be too cautious." Then he turned around and marched back up to the helm leaving me with shivers running up and down my spine.
Sorry this was a REALLY short update (writers block :P) they will be longer in the future!
