Many thanks to my dear reviewers who have

reviews at least for each previous chapter... But we mean nofthing

ERIC: You might not, Kitty, but I do!!

Eric, dear, don�t be mean to the readers.

Eric, calm down!! It was just a suggestion really. I just want 10
reviews at least for each chapter for I am in sore need an ego boost.

ERIC: <snuggle> But you have ME! What more of an ego boost do you
need??

Hmm, good point. Still I want reviews. Now enough of this banter. Onto

�Uh,� Jack weakly chuckled, �do I �ave any other
choices then?� Jack silently prayed that she�d suggest the galley or some
remote room in a part of the ship where these people couldn�t get to him...


�Well, you could stay in my cabin.�


...but that was good too.


�Your cabin, luv?�
Jack asked, almost not believing he�d actually heard correctly.


�Yes, I�m sure I can find you a cot or somefthing to
sleep on,� Lela replied, reflectively placing her index finger on her bottom
lip.


�Oh, come now, luv,� Jack whimpered, his lips
trembling and his eyes looking up at her with big, bubbly cuteness (A/N: AAGH!! The Chibi
Eyes!!!!!). �Surely ye wouldn�t mind �aving lit�ul me sleep beside ya.�


�I may be many things, Jack, darling,� Lela said knowingly, her eyelids
lowering along with her voice which had taken on an enticing seductiveness,
�but I am neither stupid nor suicidal.� Lela tapped Jack on the nose and walked
around him to the gangplank that led to her other ship. Jack�s mouth dropped
open and he turned, running after her.


�My dear girl,� he protested, shakily crossing the makeshift bridge behind her,
�you cannot possibly think that I
would do anyfthing to harm you or try to take
advantage of you?� Lela gave a good-natured laugh.


�Oh no, Jack, I never gave that a thought. I was simply saying that if you and
I slept in the same bed, I would be crushed as soon as you rolled over on top
of me in one of your fitful slumberings.�


�Oy! Hold on now,� Jack
called offended. �Are you saying that I�m fat?!�


�Absolutely not Jack!� Lela innocently cried and held
her hands towards herself. �I�m in-sulted
that you would even think that of me!� She suddenly looked downwards and
playfully poked Jack in the stomach. �Though, now that you mention it, you have
put on a few pounds since we was lit�uler, luv.� Lela laughed loudly and clutched her sides while Jack
followed he into her cabin, sulking and upset and all
out of good comebacks.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>


�Ye know, you�re truly wicked sometimes, luv,� Jack
morosely said to Lela as they walked into her cabin. �Truly
and utterly wicked.� Lela smiled with a devious little smirk.


�Oh, I know,� she simpered proudly, �but ye know ye love me for it!�


�Oh, do I now?� Jack laughed and began to sneak up behind her. All of a sudden,
shrieks of giggles filled his pleased ears. �Are you quite sure about that
statement, pet?�


�Ack!! Jack, stop it!!�
Fits of laughter. �Why is it, that--� Peals of
laughter. �That ev�ey time Oi
make fun of ye, you--� Seizures of laughter. �You ALWAYS end up tickling
me?!?!?!�


�A�cause it�s terribly fun, Elley,
it�s criminally fun!� The poor female captain kept trying to walk
away from Jack but he just continued relentlessly grating his fingers against
her ribs and following her wherever she tried to stumble. �Ah-ah-ah!� he
shouted, knowing his victory was imminent. �Surrender!�


�Never!� Lela cried out, finally pulling away from
Jack. Quick as lightning, she pulled out her dagger from its scabbard. �Ah-ha! I believe that I have the upper hand
now!�


�Do you really think so?� Jack reached for his own sword...and his hand touched
nothing by air. He had forgotten that Conleth had taken his sword. Jack rapidly
reached to the other side of his belt for his pistol...but that wasn�t there
either. Conleth had taken that as well. Lela smiled again, obviously delighted.


�Aye,� she called to him raising the tip of her dagger to his chin. �I do.�
Jack eyed the flattened metal that was so near him.


�Ye shouldn�t play wiv knives, luv,�
he whispered and reached over impossibly quickly and snatched Lela�s wrist. �Ye
moight hurt someone.� Lela simply tossed off his hand
and spun him around so that she held him in almost the same position of capture
he had had her in earlier.


�Yeah,� she whispered with just as alluring a whisper. She leisurely raised and
lowered the blade treacherously close to Jack�s neck as the dying rays of the
sun were caught on it, gleaming and warning of its power.


�If ye kill me now,� Jack quietly protested with a nervous chuckle, �ye won�t evuh foind out.�


�Find out about what?� Lela replied, keeping her tone silky but not letting her
curiosity leak through.


�If what you said a bit ago is true.� Lela�s eyes were directed towards the
wall but she didn�t see it, or anything else. What did he mean...something that
she had said...and if it was true...


�Uh, could ye be a bit more cryptic?� she asked sheepishly.


�All roight,� Jack answered thoughtfully. �Hmm...�Ow about...pudding �as no bones? Ouch!� Lela pulled her
pinching fingers back away from Jack�s ear.


�You�re still as enigmatic as ever.� Jack shrugged.


�Perhaps.�


�So I suppose you�re not going to tell me then?� Lela tried to get a clear
answer one last time.


�No, no, I shall,� Jack said and he could have sworn Lela�s ears pricked up
like a cat�s waiting for the reply. He gave a playful toothy smile. �But perhaps later.� If she had been a cat, Lela�s
poor little ears would have drooped right back down.


�Drat,� she pouted, �and you say I�m wicked.�


�You are.� Lela scoffed.


�Then what are you?�


�Ex-ceeding-ly evil.�


�Hold on here,� Lela objected, �you believe yourself to be more
wicked than me?�


�Oh, yes, by a long shot.� Jack smiled but behind him Lela looked down,
almost...sad.


�And yet earlier you were acting as though I was the most vile, malicious thing
on Earth.� Jack stopped smiling when he heard the forlorn tone in Lela�s voice.


�Oh, well...� Jack would have been fidgeting had his hands been free. �About
all that fuss I made, I was jest...um...y�see, i�sloike this...�


�It�s ok, Jack,� Lela whispered, some of the cheer returning to her voice,
�don�t fthink nofthing of
it. Please.� And like that, she released him. Jack didn�t move from where he
was but Lela stepped carefully away from him. He felt her fingers linger on his
skin and then slowly drift away. �Right then, uh...� Lela looked around her, as
though trying to find something to do, �I need to, um, to, uh...hmm...I need
to...� Finally, she sighed and gave up trying to find an excuse. �I�ll be back
in a tick.� She turned away and walked quickly to the door, biting her lip and
hoping Jack wouldn�t see.


Before he had a chance to say one word, Jack was watching Lela all but sprint
to the door. His outstretched hand that had been ready to grab her fell to his
side. Sighing, he tried to remember what he had said before, but so much of
that heated conversation was a hazy blur.


Flashes of the scene played over in his mind.


�Why don�t you want to talk about the past?�


�Why did you want to find me, Lela?�


She�d told him she loved him. But then she had asked him about his abrupt
departure.


�Why did you leave Sleego, Jack?� she�d said. �Why did you leave me?�


And what had been his stupid answer?


�I felt I had to leave. I didn�t want to have to face you.�


The memories of
earlier that day began to come at him, flooding his mind at a terrifying rate.

          �You deceived me,
belittled my trust!�


She had denied his accusation, said that she had never lied to him, but he paid
her no heed.


�Maybe not to my face you didn�t, but ye
certainly did a good job of it when I wasn�t around!�


Shouting and screaming and insults ensued and came to the inevitable...


Slap!


Jack winced at that
reminiscence. �I fthink I did deserve that
one,� he said aloud to himself, and knocked himself on the head. �And that�s
for just a minute ago, luv,� he whispered as though
speaking to his beloved friend. It was then Jack decided to try and set things,
mostly if not completely, right with Lela. �I fthink
we�ve both admitted that we still...love each other to ourselves...and she�s
already admitted that she still loves me to me...� Jack still spoke aloud,
almost practicing for what he would say to the fellow captain, but he finished
his sentence only in his thoughts. But...I...need to tell her--tell
her to her face, straight out--that I... Jack looked up as he heard the
squeak of the double wooden doors opening. I love her.


As Lela
walked in, Jack forced himself to look at her, even though her face looked
slightly red and she wiped her eyes. She was looking down at the ground with a
weary, faraway look on her face, even though outside she had just promised
herself that she wasn�t going to act mopey. Since she
couldn�t see Jack due to the masses of hair obstructing her vision, she didn�t
see him coming towards her at (what would�ve been) the fastest pace she�d ever
seen him go. Lela let out a startled gasp as she found that all of a sudden she
was in the tight embrace of one, Jack Sparrow. Her drooping eyes widened in
confusion as Jack (for once, unintentionally) backed her into the wall.


�Jack...� she started to hoarsely whisper, but he cut her off...in a most
surprising way.


He kissed her.


Lela�s mind was reeling once more, but this time it was not because of a
question or a statement. The cause was tangible, material, and yet somehow it
wasn�t. When her whole world seemed like it was about to shatter earlier, it
was something Jack had said in spoken words. This time, her spiralling thoughts
were also caused by something that came from Jack�s mouth...a genuine,
ardent kiss, but... But that�s not what is really making me like this, she managed to think, though a vague, opaque
thought it was. It�s Jack.


After a few
moments, Jack slowly, almost reluctantly, pulled away from Lela�s lips, but
barely an inch.


�It is true,� he said softly, �what ye said before.�


�Wha...what did I say?� Lela asked and still trying to catch her breath.


�I called ye truly wicked and you said you knew, but I...� Jack gently leaned
his forehead to hers, �I loved ye for it.� Lela tried
to say something but her lips just moved, her mouth opening and closing, no
sound issuing forth. �And I�m sorry f�ticklin� ya.� Lela let out a small laugh that was mixed with
sobbing. �So...� Jack reached up and brushed away her hair from her face and
stroked her soft, pale cheek. �Just so we are perfectly, completely, totally,
entirely, absolutely, wholly, and utterly clear on things wiv each other...� He leaned in once more,
his slightly rough lips barely brushing hers as he slowly whispered with sheer
sincerity a declaration: �I...love you.�
