2 years had passed by since Iris and Arthur had met and so far Arthur had kept to his word on being a bit harder on Iris. The two Captains were soon announced as rivals, but their bounties were pretty high so they kept a distance whenever they were in the same town. One day Iris had found out she was falling in love with Arthur but decided to keep it to herself and only told her first mate Vanessa Jones. One day Iris found herself in a town just doing nothing for once. She passed by a board in the square and saw the wanted posters for her and Arthur. "And they have yet to capture me or him," she said snickering at the posters. She hummed an Irish song to herself not noticing Arthur was walking up behind her. He grabbed her arm and placed it behind her back. "Hello my dear," he whispered in her ear. Iris growled. "Hello Arthur," she said taking her arm away from Arthur's grip and turning to him. "I thought we kept a safe distance from each other whenever we weren't after treasure," she said glaring at him. "I know but then I noticed you were more amazingly beautiful than usual," Arthur said taking some of Iris's hair into his hand and smelling it. Iris blushed at Arthur words. "Thanks," she said looking away. Arthur smiled at the sight of the blushing on Iris's face. "You're welcome my dear Iris," he said releasing her hair. "Check it out it's the two most wanted pirates," a man shouted out grabbing the attention of both Iris and Arthur and a few guards. "Oh damn," Iris muttered. "HALT!" One guard shouted. "Best we leave now," Arthur said grabbing Iris and running with her. "Agreed," Iris said running with him. The three guards ran after them. They soon ran onto the rooftops of residential homes. "I think it about time we split up," Iris said. "That's a good idea," Arthur said. The two pirates split up, Iris jumped off the roof while Arthur jumped onto another room. Two of the guards followed Arthur while one ran after Iris. Iris managed to evade the guard that was chasing her by running into a pub that was full of pirates. Meanwhile Arthur was still being chased by the two guards that were after him. He soon hid in a barrel that was by a drunk pirate. The two guards ran past the barrel and Arthur opened the lid and popped his head out as soon the two guards were out of sight. He sighed in relief and got out of the barrel and walked over to his ship and noticed that's Iris's ship was not docked too far from his ship. He decided to check out her cabin since Iris hadn't returned .Arthur boarded her ship and walked over to a door that was closed on the deck. He opened the door and walked into Iris's cabin. He looked around her cabin. It had a bed, a desk that was cluttered with maps and junk. It also had some treasure which Arthur knew that Iris had gotten to before he could get to. He smirked and walked closer to the treasure only to hear some footsteps. "Damn it's Iris or one of her crew," he said looking for a place to hide. He spotted a closet and ran to it he opened the door and went inside. Iris came into the cabin and took off her jacket. "Damn I hate being spotted like that," she said placing her jacket onto the chair behind her desk. Arthur kept silent as he watched Iris walk over to her bed. 'Perfect when she falls asleep I'll leave.' he thought to himself. Iris took her boots and lay on her bed closing her eyes. As soon Iris was asleep Arthur opened her closet and walked out and was about to walk out of her cabin when he stopped in his steps. He looked at her. She seemed so peaceful while sleeping and she looked beautiful as well. Arthur walked over to Iris and brushed some of her hair from her face and kissed her cheek. He left before she woke up. Iris opened her eyes and sat up looking around but she shrugged and fell back to sleep.
