Chapter 13 Josette shifted a little and closed her eyes, thankful for the shade. She was currently sitting under the stairs that led to the helm, enjoying a little bit of quietness. She had fought very hard not to think of the incident, as she was now calling it, but she failed every time she tried. Avoiding her Captain hadn’t worked since they were upon the same ship but that didn’t stop her from wanting to hide under a rock every time he was around. Of course the lack of rocks and the fact that she actually wanted to see him didn’t help thing as well. Stifling a sigh she lowered her head to her drawn knees and groaned quietly. “Bugger, bugger, bugger!” Her head shot up when she heard the familiar voice and she tensed when she heard the telltale sound of his boots climbing down the stairs. “Bugger! Josh!” he exclaimed in a panicked voice and she frowned. “Bloody hell, gross!” he hissed and at last she saw him. He had a funny look on his face and he was holding a handful of his hair away from his head. “Where are you, lad?” he almost growled and she quickly stood up. “Here.” She said as she made herself visible. “Finally! Come with me! I need help!” he said with a disgusted expression. “Why?” Josette asked as she followed him into the cabin, ignoring the funny looks they received from the crewmen. “Because of this!” he stopped abruptly and he turned to her. He pushed the handful of his hair towards her face and her eyes widened. “Is that…?” she pointed at the gooey substance on his hair and he nodded. “It is.” “Oh…Are you sure?” she asked as she tried hard not to laugh. Jack’s nostrils flared and he narrowed his eyes, “Am I sure that a bloody bird shitted on me? Aye, since I saw it flying over my head! Now clean it!” he stomped his foot like a child and she raised her hands up in surrender. “Fine. A moment.” She said as she backed away towards the basin. “Hurry! My hair’s all stuck together…Ew.” He closed his eyes and turned away from the sight. “Sir, we’re pirates. We’re not exactly…clean.” She told him lightly as she took a cloth and soaked it in water. “What are you insinuating? That I am dirty? Well, forgive me for my sweat but I don’t tend to stand it when bloody birds poop on my head!” he exclaimed and she smiled sheepishly. “Sorry, sir.” She murmured and he scowled as she rubbed at his hair. “Is it coming off?” he asked impatiently and she shook her head. “Um…I think you need to wash your hair.” She said as she paused. Jack groaned and grabbed the cloth from her hand before he started rubbing at his hair himself. “Fine. Go and bring me some bloody water then.” He shooed her away and she nodded. “Bloody bird! Too bad I didn’t have time to shoot you!” he hissed and Josette couldn’t help but snort on her way out. “I heard that!” Jack barked and she hurried away, still laughing. oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo Josette finished with the braid and then took the bandana from his hand and wrapped it around his head like he had showed her. She tied it firmly and then quickly stepped back. “Done, sir.” She said as she quickly stood from the bed and moved back, almost stumbling in her haste to put some distance between them. Jack chuckled at that and then stood up, “Thanks, lad.” “Where are we going? This part of the sea seems familiar.” She said and he cocked and eyebrow at that. “You remember it? We’ll be making port soon. I’d promised Adele I’d stopped by before the Brethren Court.” He told her as he picked up his shirt and pulled it over his head. Josette averted her eyes quickly before she spoke, “What’s that, sir?” she asked and he paused. “Oh, you don’t know about that.” He stated and she shook her head. “Pirates have lords…for technical reasons really. We meet every year so we can solve any problems…Not that I find this particular tradition very important but…” he grimaced as he tucked his shirt in his breeches and picked up his vest. Josette tried not to stare that much but even though she had seen him getting dressed many times, she still found it hard not to look lately. Hell, she had seen him naked too and she hadn’t even dared to look. What had changed? Silly question though because she knew. “So…you are a…lord?” she asked timidly and he barked out a laugh as he buttoned his vest and gazed at her with amusement. “You make it sound so sophisticated, lad, when it’s not. We’re all bloody scoundrels but yes, I am a pirate lord.” He flourished his hands and she smiled. “That’s…nice.” She shrugged. “Yes, well it’s not.” He muttered as he plucked his hat from the bed and placed it firmly on his head, “We’ll be docking soon. I don’t think I will need you tomorrow. You can join your mates ashore if you wish.” He told her and she nodded. “Good lad.” He patted her shoulder before he walked out of the cabin. oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo Josette sighed and tilted her head as she gazed up at the helm. Mr. Gibbs and Jack were standing there talking animatedly while Gibbs held onto the helm with both hands. Josette looked from one man to the other before she settled her wary eyes on Jack. What if Adele told him who she really was this time? What if they met again and what if that woman saw it fit to tell the truth? It was good thing he had allowed her to stay away this time. That way she wouldn’t have to see her, thank Heavens! She didn’t know how long she had been staring but suddenly she saw Jack mouthing something with a small frown on his face. She frowned herself but she was in such a daze that she almost didn’t notice it when he started climbing down the stairs. Suddenly she felt someone stepping next to her before John waved his hand in front of her face, trying to get her attention. She startled and blinked before she quickly averted her eyes from Jack. “Yes?” she quickly stood up and wiped her sweaty hands on her breeches. “Jesus, where were you just now?” John asked with a smirk and she smiled sheepishly. “Sorry.” “Yeah, don’t say that to me. It’s been the Captain who has been calling you for the last couple of minutes.” He told her and her eyes widened. “But I was just-…” she shut her mouth before she could finish that thought. I had just been staring at him. She thought. “Josh!” Jack’s voice was impatient and she quickly turned away from John and almost run towards Jack who was standing just outside the cabin. “Aye, sir?” by the time she was breathless. “Did you use the remaining tar to block your ears, lad?” Jack asked with a cocked eyebrow and she felt herself flushing, “I have been calling you for ages!” he exclaimed and she gulped. “Sorry, sir.” She murmured sheepishly. “Bloody hell, if you think I’m that dashing you need only speak the words, lad.” At his words her head shot up so quickly that she went dizzy. His lips were quirked and his eyes were shining in a peculiar way. He was teasing her…or maybe he wasn’t? “Sir…?” she said in a small voice. Since when did he affect her in such a way? She was speechless just by looking at him lately. He chuckled and shook his head, “Belay that. Come.” He waved his hand and beckoned her over before he turned and headed for the cabin door, shrugging out of his coat as he went. “Where are we going?” Josette asked with a frown as she followed him, albeit a bit hesitantly. He turned to look at her from over his shoulder and shot her a grin, “I need a shave.” He said and Josette’s breath hitched. Oh. God. “But, Captain, you’ve never asked me to help you with that before.” She stammered as they entered the cabin. “Aye, but since you were concerned about my unshaved face the other day,” he whirled around and grinned at her mischievously, “I think it’s only fair that you help me with it. Besides I needed a reason to get you out of there and I have to be handsome for my arrival.” He said as he plopped down in his chair and motioned towards a small cabinet, “The soap and shaving bowl’s in there.” He told her and she hastily turned to do as she was told. Once she had gotten them she turned to him and said in a small voice, “You remember my comment?” she asked and he chuckled. “I told you, I’m never that drunk.” He said as he reached over and opened his top drawer. He pulled out his razor and handed it over. “I trust you not to nick me.” He told her with slightly narrowed eyes and she scowled. “I am not stupid, Captain.” She said as she snatched the razor from his hand, angry that he was making her do this just for fun. “I never said you were, lad.” He said softly but she avoided looking at him as she prepared the soap and then lathered up his cheeks with it. He stood perfectly still but Josette could feel his eyes on her face. As she started shaving him, she noticed that he was tapping his fingers lightly against the arms of the chair and that he was perfectly calm in comparison to her. Her hand was shaking badly and she was actually truly worried that despite her statement that she wasn’t stupid she would do the stupid mistake of looking into his eyes and then she would cut him for sure. Time passed painfully slowly before she could actually breathe again. She pulled the razor away from his skin and wiped his face clean with a cloth. Before she had the chance to step away though he seized her wrist in a death grip and reached up to grasp her chin with his free hand. “Hey,” he murmured and Josette looked at him startled, “You don’t have to be nervous, lad. You can stare all you want when you find something interesting. Just try and be discreet about it, aye?” he said quietly and her eyes widened. He smirked, “The answer to the question you never asked.” he said as he slowly released her chin and then did the same, although much slower, with her hand. “Sir?” she almost squeaked in a hoarse voice. “You never asked me why I had to distance you from the deck before.” He specified and she looked away. “I was not staring.” “You were.” He grinned. “I was not! I was thinking.” She blurted out quickly and he narrowed his eyes. “About what?” “Nothing that concerns you.” She snapped and then paused. She shut her mouth and averted her eyes, feeling bad for speaking to him like that. “I see. Well then perhaps next time you should do your thinking elsewhere and not while on duty.” He snapped back as he stood up. “I was not on duty!” she exclaimed angrily. “You always are unless I say otherwise!” he scolded her in a firm voice and she almost winced, “I am saying this for your own good, Josh. What happened, happened. It was not that big a deal and you should have learned that by now. Now get your head together and focus! Is that clear?” he hissed and she quickly nodded. “Aye, sir.” “Good.” He said sourly before he grabbed his hat and walked out of the cabin, “Clean that.” He motioned to his desk before he walked out, slamming the door behind him. Josette stared at the door and then clenched her fists tightly before she released a long breath. He was right, of course and if she ever caught herself staring at him again she’d claw her own eyes out. oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo Late that night… “You must be so bloody happy.” John commented as they made their way slowly back to the ship. “Hmm?” Josette looked at him curiously while enjoying the cool night breeze. “Well, the Captain’s gone for tonight so you’ll have the cabin all to yourself.” He pouted and Josette frowned. “So?” “So, you can sleep in his bunk. He’ll never know since I won’t tell.” John said with a smirk and she paused. “I wouldn’t do that. What if he comes back?” she shook her head as she thrust her hands in her pockets. “He won’t. He always stays with Adele when we’re here.” “Yes, well, I wouldn’t feel comfortable sleeping there.” She shrugged and John paused. “Mind if I come and try it then?” he asked and Josette’s eyes widened. “What? You can’t do that!” she hissed and he laughed. “Oh, come on. I won’t tell anyone. Don’t you trust me?” he elbowed her gently and she sighed. “You can come and keep me company but we’ll sit in my hammock. I don’t want to be punished. Again.” She huffed and John sighed. “Fine.” “So, why didn’t you stay with the rest?” Josette asked as they walked up the gangplank and passed by a snoring Cotton who was supposedly on watch. “Well, it would seem a little odd if you were the only one who refused female company again so…” he shrugged and Josette paused. “Thank you.” She said with sincerity and he waved her comment off. “Don’t worry about it. They’re probably thinking we’re getting it on together by now.” He said casually and at her horrified expression he laughed and shook his head. “I am jesting.” He said with a chuckle and she scowled. “You’re funny.” “You’re not. It’s nice to be bad sometimes.” He winked as they slowly made their ways towards the Captain’s quarters. “Yes, but it causes trouble.” She muttered and John grinned before he opened the door. He stopped abruptly and Josette collided with his back. “Ow!” she rubbed her forehead, confused, “Wh-…” “Sorry, Cap’n!” John said as he took a step back and pushed Josette back with his hand. She stumbled but she had already seen what made John falter. The cabin was not empty and the bed was definitely not like she had left it. The sheets were rumbled and a half dressed Adele was sprawled onto her stomach while Jack was behind her with his breeches half on and with his hands on her bare hips, rocking against her. They were having sex when they had walked in. Well, when John barged in. “Bloody hell, John!” Jack exclaimed as he pulled away and threw a sheet over Adele’s bare lower half. He quickly pulled up his breeches and shot a look toward Josette who was horrified. “Sorry, sir. We thought you were gone. We’ll be going now.” John apologized as he lowered his head while Josette couldn’t take her eyes from the bed. Why did she feel weird? She had seen him in compromising positions before but never while he was… Stop it! She averted her eyes and grabbed John’s arm. “Well, since you barged in…” Jack’s eyes went to Josette’s and she bit her lip, “You can bring us some rum and some water for the lady.” He motioned to Adele who was hiding under the sheets while glancing towards Josette from time to time with an odd look upon her face. “Aye, sir.” John turned to Josette and motioned her below deck. Josette’s eyes widened and she took a step back, “Me?” she asked quietly and John shrugged. “Yes, you, since you saw it fit to bring a crewman in here.” Jack snapped as he stood up while adjusting his breeches. “Sir, we were only going to talk.” John objected and Jack looked at him sharply. “Did I address you, mate?” Jack’s eyes flashed strangely and Josette gulped. What was that look for? “Sorry, Cap’n.” John muttered before he walked away. He shot a sympathetic gaze to Josette and she almost groaned. She was in trouble. Again. “I-I’ll bring you your drinks.” She stammered, more than eager to leave the cabin. “Wait.” Jack called and she paused. “Sir?” “I thought you were staying ashore with the men.” He narrowed his eyes. “I didn’t want to. I thought I’d be able to sleep properly since you were ashore.” She said but not accusingly. It was his cabin after all. “Oh really? Am I interrupting your precious sleep when I’m here then?” Jack asked with his hands on his hips. The breeches did nothing to cover the bulge between his legs and she started feeling nauseous for some reason. “I didn’t say that.” She objected weakly, “Can you scold me when we’re alone?” she said tentatively while shooting a glance towards Adele who was watching them with narrowed eyes while clutching fistfuls of the sheets in her hands. “She doesn’t understand.” Jack said dismissively and Josette was angered by his words for some reason. “It’s rude to speak in a language that she doesn’t understand, sir.” She told him and he rolled his eyes. “And you care because?” he growled and she shrugged. “I don’t.” she replied smartly before she stepped back, “I shall bring you your drinks, Cap’n.” she said but she didn’t make it far. A hand closed around her arm and whirled her around. “Did I dismiss you, boy?” Jack asked dangerously and Josette’s eyes widened. She quickly shook her head and he slowly nodded. “That’s right, I didn’t. If I ever find out again that you bring other crewmen in my cabin while I’m gone, I will personally tie you up in the main mast so you can keep company to the seagulls, savvy?” he said lowly as his eyes scanned her face intently. There was anger in those dark, unfathomable eyes of his but something more too; something more dangerous than his fury. “Aye, sir.” She whispered in a small voice and he suddenly released her as if snapping out of a reverie. “Now be gone.” He muttered harshly and she nearly stumbled in her haste to walk out. She didn’t bring their drinks but he never came out of the cabin to ask for them either. End of chapter 13 Author’s note: Ehmm…Yes, things got a bit out of hand. I hope you liked it nonetheless! As you can see Adele is back to bring trouble…:D And did you think Jack was jealous that Josh brought John to the cabin??? Hmm???
