CHAPTER 6 "WOMAN IS FICKLE"
She was laying beside him, admiring his handsome face, and thinking about their first night, about her feelings and the past that she would like to forget... The sun was about to rise, but so far all the thoughts and doubts gathering in her head didn't let her fall asleep. And so she was staring at Jack, cupping his face, kissing him gently, fleetingly, not wanting to wake him up.
"He looks so sweet in his sleep..." she thought touching him again. He whispered her name in the middle of a dream, and she smiled overwhelmed by the joyous feeling, tears of happiness welling up in her eyes.
The bonfire was almost quenching and she decided to look for something proper to keep it aflame. After locating her clothes, she took a look at her buttonless shirt and giggled.
"How am I supposed to wear it now?" In the end, she simply tied it under her breasts.The shirt covered her bosom, but revealed her neckline and the entire belly.
"I guess Jack will get to like this shirt now" she thought with a smile
She found her drenched boots, still laying on the beach, just where she had left them last evening after stepping on land. She hung them by the fire, right by Jack's own, then took his dried coat and used it to cover her sleeping lover. After giving him another kiss, she went to search for the firewood, hoping to find it with the help of first sun rays.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After having taken a much needed nap to recover from the activities of last night, Jack woke up at dawn. His arm reached for Lizzie,but to his disappointment she wasn't there. He forced his sleepy eyes to open and noticed that he was laying alone, covered with his coat.
"First she killed me, and now she covered me so that me goods would't get cold," he chuckled."Women and their moods!" he shook his head,standing up.
The morning felt much colder than the night so he hurried up to dress quickly."Or maybe we didn't feel the cold because we...Oh, yes," he grinned "That's why."
The beach seemed to be empty. He couldn't spot Lizzie anywhere, and so he got the idea to use his compass.
"Where could you be hiding my charming murderess, my sweet lover?" he murmured "I miss you like hell..." The red arrow pointed steadily to the north, and Jack followed its direction with all haste.
As he was strolling along the shore looking for her,he couldn't help but recall last night's passion.He thought of Lizzie. His Lizzie begging for more,screaming his name repeatedly,making him feel like in a trance.He was shocked experiencing the extent of the desire she had for him.
"And yet, half a year ago she killed me...More! She lied to me,that she wasn't sorry..."
"Woman is fickle..." he suddenly hummed in a halfvoice
"...like feather in the wind,
doesn't say what she thinks,
nor what she really means.
Always so lovable
a graceful visage',
whether 'n tears or laughter
she's always lying".
"Oh, sounds good. Real good. I think I might even write it down."
"Always miserable
is he who trusts her,
reckless his poor heart
he who confides in her..
Though never feeling
really fully happy,
who on that bosom
does not taste love!"
"I definitely must write it down. But what if I gave it a subtle... Italian touch?" he scratched his chin, thinking intensely.He loved this beautiful,melodious language since he had learned it as a child from an Italian fencing master who used to teach him how to handle a sword.
"La donna e' mobile
qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento-
e di pensiero.
Sempre un amabile
leggiardo viso
in pianto o in riso-
'e menzognero."
Jack was absolutely thrilled with his composition, and so he continued singing louder and louder, until eventually he ended up nearly screaming.
"E sempre misero
chi a lei s'affida,
chi le confida-
-mal cauto il cuore.
Pur mai non sentesi
felice appiono
chi su quel seno
non liba amore!"
"Captain Sparrow," he spoke to himself "You are a genius! Something is telling me,one day it will be a hit!"
"La donna e' mobile
qual piuma al vento..." he started once more loud and proud, and right then he noticed Elizabeth emerging from the bush,with some dry branches in her hands.
"...and really bad eggs,drink up me hearties yo ho!" he finished hurriedly.
" Bugger! Hope she didn't hear my new tune. Or rather that she doesn't speak Italian."
"Morning,Lizziebeth! Awake so early?" he greeted her while scanning her shirt with lustful look.
"Good morning,Jack," she smirked, dropping the wood and leaning in closer for a kiss. He gave in and tasted her hungrily, prolonging it until they got short of breath.
"What are you doing here, luv?"
"I was hoping to save the bonfire, so I took a walk to gather anything I could find."
"Instead of sleeping in me arms?"
"I enjoyed your arms, Captain, but couldn't even close my eyes.I was too busy thinking...And how did you sleep?"
"Well,usually I have problems falling asleep on land. But after you rocked me to sleep..." he grinned seductively,running his fingers over her flushed cheeks "...I slept like a baby."
"So that is the remedy for your "land-insomnia"? I'll remember that." she giggled.
"One can only hope" he answered her in his thoughts.
"What was troubling your pretty head, not letting you rest, eh?"
"Just some uncleared issues which don't let my mind rest."
"How about sharing them with me?"
"There are questions I need to ask you, Jack..."
"Go on, then."
"Why did you follow me after you'd marooned me? Did you change your mind, or was it a sudden feeling of pity?"
"I only planned to teach you a lesson, Lizzie. Wanted to scare you a bit, so that you would know what it tastes like when a trusted person forces you to look death right in the eye... And then, of course I had to follow you, for I could never, ever leave you behind. Savvy?"
She was speechless, having a strange feeling of a lump in her throat. Fighting against tears, she eventually managed to continue.
"So you didn't plan on seducing me. Did you?"
Jack sighed, raising his hands in a defensive gesture. "Alright, I confess. I wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Honestly, I would be dishonest to deny the fact that I wished too badly to repeat our night on the rum runners' island. But this time with no rum in sight, so that you couldn't possibly get me drunk. I wanted so bloody much to have my way with you and...vice versa, I guess," he added, smiling at her.
"We were already getting close to Port Royal, it was just a day away. Once we made port I would've dropped you and that... poor substitute for a man, and we would have gone each a separate path, maybe never to meet again. I knew it was my last chance to take actions and win your heart. Last night only proved it was the right decision,and yet another of Captain Jack Sparrow's brilliant ideas.Hope you would attest to it,luv..."
She didn't give him the answer he expected.In fact she didn't give him any answer at all,but stood there gaping at his alluring chest, avoiding the eye contact with him.
"Did I say something wrong? Lizzie..."
"There is still one more question..."
"I'm all ears, luv."
"It's not that easy, Jack."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of the answer, I guess..."
"Nonsense. Shoot, Lizzie."
"Have you forgiven me?"
He chuckled hearing her ask that,and taking a look at her confused face made him laugh even more.
"This is not funny!"she huffed.
"It is, to me. Do you really you think I would make love to you without forgiving you in the first place?"
"Well,maybe you simply pretended to accept my apology in order to get a one night stand,but you may well still hate me!" she exploded.
Jack was taken aback by her outburst, and his face turned serious as he watched her frown. He raised her chin to meet her eyes and spoke softly like never before.
"Listen, luv. I never hated you, never would, even if you killed me once again. I could never use you like a toy for the night, treat you like a harlot...And yes,I have forgiven you.Told you,I have a heart..."
Lizzie smiled through the veil of tears, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard him finish in a whisper
"...and it's all yours".
She thought at first, her ears were playing tricks on her and needed to hear it again.
"Do you mean, you..."
"Aye. Cross me heart, I do."
"As mine belongs to you, Jack...You've stolen it long ago, pirate."
"I know, luv," he said sincerely with a smile.
"You couldn't have known. Haven't you just mentioned the plan of winning my heart?"
"I knew beyond any reasonable doubt that you fell for me, Lizzie. But you were fighting against this feeling and so I had to take actions to persuade you.That is why I said I needed to win your heart."
"You seem so certain, you may as well claim to know when I fell for you."
"I can tell, when you came to this realization, luv."
"Well, I'm listening, but I bet you'll miss."
"And what if I guess correctly?"
"I shall reward you with a kiss, Captain."
"Done," he agreed with a bright smile. "Once you kissed me and tied me to the mast, the truth hit you painfully, almost knocking you out. You realized that your heart didn't belong to the whelp. You fell for the naughty pirate you had just kissed. Fearing your own feelings, you chose to run with your defective fiance', leaving me to die. Prove me wrong, Lizzie..."
She stared at him agape, fully surprised that he actually got it right.
"How did you know?"
"It was so obvious. It was in your kiss. Definately was. But apart from that, it was painted on your face, mirrored in your eyes. I saw it..." he explained, cupping her cheek with his palm.
Jack got his kiss, followed by some more, as none of them could stop. Gasping for air, they were finally forced to take a break, holding each other tightly. Both of them felt happy like never before, after admitting their feelings to one another.They were enjoying their closeness,warmth and the silence broken only by their heartbeats and whispers of the waves.
"Jack?"
"Uhmm?"
"Your song...the one you were humming before you changed it to "Drink up me hearties yo ho". I like the melody so much."
"What makes you think it's mine, Lizzie?"
She had to laugh before she answered "It's quite unquestionable,considering the way you were praising yourself!"
"I'm glad you liked it too."
"What was it about? It was not in English..."
"I'll tell you later, dearie. And now my bonnie lass, having cleared all those distressing issues,you can go and sleep a bit,eh? And I will look for something eatable for breakfast."
"I don't feel like sleeping now."
"You need a nap,Lizzie. Riding captain Jack Sparrow is very exausting and you have to recover. So off you go, or there will be no breakfast for you."
"I have no problem with that. I'm not hungry anyway," she lied. "I prefer to hear about that sweet tune of yours."
Seeing how hard it was to persuade her and rescue his butt, he decided to use a truly dreadful threat.
"If you don't rest, there will be no continuation of our nightly marathon..."
She yawned dramatically in reply, grabbing the firewood."I guess I was not aware of how tired and sleepy I am..."
"I'll wake you up for breakfast. See you later,Lizziebeth."
"Till later, my Captain!"
He was grinning cunningly, when she turned around and moved on with the bunch of wood in her hands.
"She's going to rest now,and so I'm saved. When she wakes up,she will not even remember there was any tune." he thought rubbing his hands.Suddenly she stopped,and to his astonishment, returned to where he stood with a sheepish grin spread on his face.
"Oh, quasi dimenticavo! Un bacio per mio attraente Capitano!" She kissed him sweetly,before swiftly turning around and heading south along the shore.Something told her to look back and it was worth it. Jack's jaw was dropped,and he looked more funny than ever. On her way to the bonfire she had several outbursts of laughter, as she recalled his adorably dumbfounded face.

The manuscript of the famous "La donna e' mobile" composed by Captain Jack Sparrow, has been found a whole century later, and viciuosly used by Verdi in year 1851 ,as his own composition in the opera titled "Rigoletto".
"Oh, quasi dimenticavo! Un bacio per mio attraente Capitano" means "Oh, I nearly forgot! A kiss for my attractive Captain!" in Italian
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer: Ok,ok. So I lied... Actually “La Donna e'mobile” belongs to Verdi as everyone knows... But it fits Jack and Lizzie's relationship so much ,that I simply couldn't resist, LOL!!
A/N:...Review anyone?????? Let me know if I should continue this story...???
