Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven

Hearing Gibbs speak again James quickly composed himself and brought a hand up to subtly scrub away the beginnings of tears. Looking up once that was accomplished he was slightly humored to see Jack looking at the mirror as if it might bite him. Any fear he had about Jack touching the mirror and seeing what he’d seen on previous occasions instantly evaporated. As if to confirm his fear was no longer necessary the pirate shook his head before saying “No, that’s alright. I have no desire to know what is suppos’ to happen’. Were would be the fun in life if you knew everything.” Gibbs excepted that answer easily and moved on “Did ye want to be bringin it with us. It could fetch a good price at the next port were we make birth.” Jack continued to look at the mirror a little suspiciously before shaking his head again and letting his gaze rest on Gibbs.

“Just leave it mate. We barely have any room left after all that swag we commandeered from our new pirate friend Melkin. Besides were would we put Jaime?” At this point Jack slung an arm over Gibbs’s shoulder and said in a mock whisper. “I don’t think he’d fancy sharing his bunk. Let alone with a mirror.” James looked to Jack slightly surprised at how easily he was willing to let James leave with his crew. In disbelief he had to speak up. “Your letting me come with you….on your ship.”

Jack just shook his head sadly and looked to Gibbs with a slight pout. “Oy, mate. The poor gentleman has lost his mind. I hope it wasn't attached to that wig. It’s long gone by now.” Jack looked at him with a cheeky grin and James knew that he should get annoyed. He needed to stay as in character as possible, but no matter what he told himself mentally he just couldn't help but smile. So he decided to throw Jack for a loop by giving a different type of response. “Why thank you Sparrow. I look forward to enjoying your hospitality.”

James felt his smile slip into a smirk as he turned around to leave the cave. The image of Jack looking at him like he’d grown an extra two heads amusing him to no end. The early afternoon sun quickly turned into the sun preparing to set as everyone got ready to depart the island. It wasn't until they were well on their way to the nearest port that things calmed down. Most of the crew had already gone to bed, but James stayed on deck enjoying the evening weather. He had his head tilted back so that he could look at the night sky. The wind was whipping through his hair gently and dislodging some of the chestnut strands to blow lightly about his face. The only sound was from the small gusts of wind and the gentle lapping of the ocean against the ship.

He heard soft footfalls and turned his head to see Jack approaching to stand at his side. “Sorry Commodore, I didn't want to disturb ye, but I need to know where you wanted to be dropped off. I was thin’ Port Royale but I thought it better to check.” James just looked silently at Jack for a moment. The moonlight made the man look even more mysterious then he did during the day and James found himself drawn to his masculine beauty. “I was actually thinking that perhaps I could travel with you for awhile. Take a sort of holiday.” Jack looked surprised and a little pleased.

The look was there and gone in an instant but because James was studying Jack’s face at the time the pirate wasn't able to hide it fast enough. Just as Jack opened his mouth to respond though a thought came to James and he lifted a finger halting the pirates response. “The only condition is that you must refrain from any attacks on innocent ships while I’m on board. Other pirate ships are another matter, but don’t forget I’m still part of the Navy.” James lowered his finger already starting to mentally go over his resignation letter. “I can live with that for a bit Commodore. I know that dear William and fair Elizabeth will be happy to hear that ye decided to let loose for once. Ye better be careful though Commodore. Once I introduce you to the freedom of bein’ a pirate ye might never want to go back to the Navy.”

Jack gave him a grin that was somewhere between goofy and sly before he turned his gaze out toward the ocean. James let his gaze linger on Jack a little longer. His last thought before facing the choppy ocean horizon was that this man was going to be his future. A warmth spread through him and he smiled as he realized that he’d never been happier.
