Peas in a pod

Jacqueline lie there on the hard floor, missing her ship, knowing damn well that jack sparrow was in the one place she wanted to be. The men were all asleep..other than Will on deck...
and it wasn’t like jack would be angry at her walking in on his bath.
But it wasn’t worth the use of her bed....though...
it was possible to she could gain her freedom...perhaps even become co-captain..
she shook it off..

She would never give jack sparrow that advantage over her.
She laughed to herself, wondering why jack had even asked her if he could use her bath.... Her ship.

She said no..of course...which he responded, in quite a long and hard to follow speech, about how he had let her use it, and fairness… and slavery..
Annoyed at being woken, annoyed at having to make her mind work, and annoyed at jack most of all, she had sent him off, cursing obscenities after him that made the men stir in their sleep.

She wasn’t able to fall back asleep after that, and there she lie, hands folded on her chest, staring at the ceiling, she wondered if her premonitions were true…..
If they were...it was she who had the advantage.


'You knew my father?'
'Yes love...knew him well.' she said placing a quick hand on Will`s shoulder as she shared his view of the horizon.
Will turned and looked at her, studying her face intently, and she caught his gaze.
She laughed slightly and he blushed
'No child...not that well…..i never met your mother' she said easily, patting his shoulder

'Your father stood up for what was right' she began, looking out to her ship, the colored glass of the top deck shining from the firelight within
'Though, he could have chosen someone a bit more formidable than jack...it was honorable'
they both looked up as the door on the towed ship opened.

Jack emerged from the room, His boots and shirts were missing, and Jacqueline couldn’t help but notice how the moonlight glistened over his flesh.
Shaking it off she sighed
'Ye think he may let me sleep in me own bed tonight' she asked doubtfully and will laughed
'If you ask him nicely perhaps' he offered, watching jack as he stared to the moon, his back was turned to the black pearl and Jacqueline made up her mind.
'Im afraid to know what he considers nice' she sighed reaching for ae.
e.

Satisfied with the one she had untied she saluted her palm to will as she leaped from the deck.
Her fingers touched the mast, and she carefully spun her body over the rail. As her feet hit the deck, wills eyes diverted , connecting with jacks, his face was smothered in a confident amused grin, and he turned, walking back into the cabin.

The wedge of light on the deck narrowed as he closed the door halfway and William sighed, turning back to the wheel. Jacqueline could feel his suppressed laughter as she turned and saw that jack had went back into the room. She sighed as she pushed opened the door.

There he stood, arms crossed, bent slightly backwards, he was staring down his nose at her.
'Yes love?' he asked, cocking his head and she huffed
'I want to sleep in my bed'
'So. You still are a woman eh?' jack smiled and she did the same, her grin dripping with sarcasm
'Id have to stay here with you to make.'
'No you don’t captain…‘ she interrupted
‘will is at the wheel, all he would have to do is look behind him every once in a while...ill be safe and sound sleeping, being towed by the pearl' she smiled sweetly, touching her fingertips together.
Jack touched his finger to his jaw
'Then what do i get out the deal love?'

She sighed and walked to her bed,
Reaching underneath it she surfaced with a black cloth, which she set onto the bed and unwrapped.
There were 3 globes within the scarf...two of which she picked up and handed to jack
'Grapefruit.... Give one to William...it wouldn’t be polite to eat one in front of him'
'Or i could just stay here and we could share the third' jack smiled and she glared at him.

'Off with ye jack.... Make sure William sees that grapefruit...or ill have your arse' she threatened as he opened the door. He paused and leaned against the frame, smiling delightedly into her eyes, he looked quickly behind him, then back to her...his moustache was curled she noticed, as it ran along the frame of his pleased smile.
'How badly would you want it love?' he grinned,
A quick tongue slid across his lips as he looked her over once, and he disappeared out the door

Will heard the door close and the feet fall onto the pearls deck moments later and smiled widely as jack appeared at his side
'Compliments of said strumpet' he sighed handing him the grapefruit
He smiled as he took it in his hands
