ok so i had this chapter already written but then tragedy struck and the stupid piece of crap got deleted. SO, bare with me if this is all very bland or strained because I am quite angry with having to rewrite this terrible thing. Oh yeah, and thanks for those of you baring with me and reviewing!
"Where am I to sleep?"
The captain smirked and gave a look that almost made her shudder. He seemed almost as if a boy getting caught in school while pulling some terrible prank. The glistening enjoyment in his forget me not blue eyes did not go unnoticed by Wendy. She took in short breaths in anticipation over what his answer was, dreading it. She started to regret ever leaving the confines of her room. Suddenly having such a bored thought and maybe (heavens forbid) growing up, seemed a better alternative than to sleep anywhere near these pirates.
"My dear beauty, what kind of a host would I be if I did not give you a choice as to your sleeping quaters?" he chuckled, such a terribly sly look he held so perfectly on his face. Hook knew that he was caught on, and all it would take were the final words.
She held in her breath for such an awkward moment that would ensue, and though she already knew her choices, she hoped with her naive mind that a third option would appear much better than the former two.
"You may sleep with the crew in the lower decks," he paused as tghe first option she knew of was confirmed and she shuddered at the laughter now openly streaming from the hungry-faced pirates behind her. "or, my beauty, you are welcome to stay with me in the captain's quaters." And he finnished off with a grin that completed the dastardly deed just commited.
It didn't take much time for Wendy to realize that she didn't have much of an option. To stay with the captain in his private quaters versus the men in their cramped ones was by far the lesser of two evils. Unfortunately, she felt no better about the decision she had made. 'what would mother think?'
"If you would please, I would rather join you in your quaters captain." Slight sounds of dissapointment were heard behind her as she looked into the Captain's eyes. They held a triumph in them that both hated and intreged her. Hook held out his black gloved hand to her and she hesitated before accepting it.
When she gripped his hand she noticed two things. One was that she was putting herself into something that she knew that she couldn't back her way out of. The second was that she felt content with her small hand engulfed by his warm large one.This made Wendy feel terribly uneasy.
The Captain's quaters were impressive. Wendy had to stop for a moment to take everything all in. She slowly became satisfied with the choice that she had made, slowly realizing that perhaps the captain would not be all bad.
The Room was lined with filled bookshelves and windows were covered with red velvet drapes. Overstuffed armchairs surrounded a fireplace and a studry desk stood covered in interesting maps and papers. The over all look was quite impressive to Wendy.
She glanced over at Hook who sat comfortably at the desk, settling intothe papers and charts as if Wendy wasn't even there. She glanced nervously before clearing her throat expectantly.
"you need something, my beauty?" he asked, not even looking away from the map that he was studying.
"Well, yes...I was wondering if I could, if you wouldn't mind that is, that I could perhaps...look at some of your books?" she asked, trying hard to hold the eagerness in her voice. If there was anything that she loved, it would be literature.
This impressed Hook quite a bit, and he looked up at her with his emotions of course reflecting clear in his eyes. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly as he watched her pause waiting for his answer. He merely nodded, but it was enough to bring her to run to the nearest bookshelf immediately.
There were so many books she did not know which one to choose first. There were history books, fictions, classics, and more so that it was all too much for her to handle. She pulled out an impressive stack of both familiar and unknown books and settled herself in the chair nearest to the fire.
Within the outside world was nothing to her as she drowned herself in the first book ontop of her list. Hook took this moment to look her over as she remained oblivious to him.
She held the book in small hands while her studious blue eyes couldnt help but to convey intense excitement as she read rapidly along the lines. Her dirty blonde hair seemed to lightly curl as it fell into her eyes and her cream dress that flowed freely still let the shape of her curves reviel themselves. It was indeed certain that Wendy had became an adult, though she did not know it yet.
'No matter, I will help her realize it. And I will enjoy every moment of it.'
sorry that this is kind of short, review as always please!
