Chapter 16

“Catch!” John called and Josette barely had time to catch the fishing pole from him as he stood up and stretched.
“What am I to do with both of them?” she asked as she shook the poles for emphasis.
“Got to take a piss. I’ll bring us some water as well.” He smirked and she scowled.
“You just got bored.” She muttered and he chuckled.
“Nah, I am good. You’re very stimulating company.” John winked and Josette stuck her tongue out at him.
John laughed but it was cut short when Jack appeared out of nowhere and looked down at them.
“Who’s stimulating company?” he asked with his hands on his hips.
Josette turned to look at him and resisted the urge to flush.
“He’s bored.” Josette pointed at John who glared at her. She smirked at him in retaliation.
“Can’t blame him. Catching fish isn’t the most stimulating activity ever.” Jack said and it was John’s turn to smirk triumphantly.
Josette turned away from them both and focused on her fishing.
“Go and fetch me some rum from the hold, lad. I’ll be in my cabin.” Jack said finally and John straightened.
“I’ll bring it, sir. I’m heading down to the hold.” John said and Jack nodded albeit a bit slowly.
“Very well.” He muttered, “Give him the key then, aye?” he said to Josette who smiled sheepishly.
“Actually, the hold’s unlocked.” She said and Jack glared at her.
“And why is that?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Um…we loaded supplies and then we weighed anchor…I didn’t have time to lock it again. Sorry, sir.” She said and Jack sighed.
“It’s fine. Just don’t let it happen again. Step to it then, aye?” he told John before he turned and walked away from them.
John nodded at her and walked away hurriedly.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Josette craned her neck and sighed as her stiff muscle arms protested at the position she was sitting in.
“Where are you?...Jesus.” she muttered as she lowered her head and closed her eyes. The sun was burning her skin even through her clothes and she could feel the wet hair at the nape of her neck sticking onto her skin. She was soaked in sweat. Not bearing another minute of sitting there, she stood up and stretched her body while still holding tightly onto the fishing poles.
“Josh! Josh!” John called breathlessly as he approached her.
Josette frowned, “What?”
“You have to see something… I don’t know what to do.” He said quietly and she started getting alarmed.
“What? Don’t tell me something’s missing from the hold. I knew I should have-…”
“No, nothing’s missing. On the contrary, we have more cargo than we anticipated.” He said with wide eyes and Josette narrowed her eyes.
“Do you have a fever?” she joked and he glared at her.
“I am serious. Come and see. Quickly.” He said as he stepped back, ready to head back to the hold.
“Wait! What about these?” she asked as she looked at the poles.
“Forget about them! We have bigger problems.” He called and she was scared now.
She let go of the poles and took off after him, “Where’s the Captain’s rum? He will start looking for you.” She said as they climbed down the stairs that led below deck.
“We’ll get it to him. But first you have to see our guest.” He hissed just as he pushed the door to the hold open.
“Guest?” Josette frowned but as they entered and John pulled her behind some barrels she froze.
“Jesus!” she exclaimed as she gazed at none other than the Captain’s girl from the Cove. The young woman was sitting behind the barrels in a plain pale blue dress. She had her shoes off and her hair was in disarray because of the hold’s humidity.
“Jesus indeed.” John muttered and the woman looked at them tentatively, “Her name’s Victoria.” John stated and Josette blinked rapidly.
“How…how did you get in here?” Josette asked her and Victoria swallowed hard.
“No one saw me…They were loading up the ship when I sneaked in.” she whispered as she hugged her knees tightly with her arms.
Josette looked at John who shrugged helplessly.
“Why are you here?” John asked the woman and she paused.
“I wanted to leave. Jack seemed to like me so…” Victoria’s eyes glimmered lovingly as she mentioned Jack and Josette felt a wave of emotions stirring at the pit of her stomach.
Pity, anger and jealousy. The thing was, that she had no right to be jealous or angry. She was free to feel pity though because she feared that her Captain might not even recall the girl’s name; or worse, her face.
Pushing those emotions back she shook her head, “You are trespassing.” She stated and Victoria recoiled.
“I know.”
“We have to tell him.” John said with finality and Josette turned to him.
“Are you sure?” she asked tentatively and he rolled his eyes.
“If we don’t, we’ll be in trouble. Again. For God’s sake it’s not our problem! It’s his!” he threw his hands up and Josette bit her lip.
“Okay…” she agreed even though she was worried about Jack’s reaction.
“You think he’ll throw me off?” Victoria asked as she stood up and smoothed down her skirt.
Josette envied her clothes. She had forgotten how it was like to wear women’s clothing.
“I don’t know…” John trailed off as he looked away.
Victoria turned to look at Josette.
Josette raised her hands up in surrender, “Me neither.”
“Go and get him his drink and bring him down here.” John said to Josette who frowned.
“How am I going to bring him here?” she asked and John paused.
“Find a way. After all, he listens to you.” He said and Josette groaned.
She grabbed a bottle and slowly made her way up the stairs. She took a deep breath and headed straight for the cabin. She knocked twice.
“Who is it?” she heard him call and she frowned.
“It’s me, sir.”
“Ah….come in.”
She opened the door and she realized why he had asked who it was. He was sitting in his bed while pulling on a new pair of breeches.
Josette shut the door and looked away as he stood up and fastened the breeches.
“Did you get lost while getting that bottle, lad?” he asked as he picked up his discarded belt and placed it around his waist.
“Eh…I. No.” Josette said as she finally looked up at him. He still wore no shirt.
“Calm down, lad. I am jesting. Awful hot today, ain’t it? I was soaked.” He muttered as he picked up a fresh shirt and walked towards her.
Josette tensed and she was so unsettled that when he extended his hand towards her, she flinched and jumped back.
Jack paused with his hand in mid air and frowned, “I was only going to get the bottle. Which you are clutching like a vice.” He commented and Josette, in her haste to give it to him, almost thrust it in his chest.
“Alright…” he said as he uncorked the bottle and took a greedy sip, “What’s wrong with you, freckles?” he asked and Josette felt even worse for she was about to ruin his evening.
“Um…Could you come to the hold with me, sir?” she asked and Jack’s eyes widened absurdly while his eyebrows disappeared under his bandana.
“What for?” he choked out at last in a hoarse voice and Josette flushed.
She didn’t mean it as a bloody innuendo!
She looked up at him and found that he was staring at her with impossibly dark eyes and a slightly parted mouth.
“Um…I need to show you something.” She replied shakily and he smirked.
“What?” he grinned as he gazed at her up and down.
Dear God, this was embarrassing and in an odd way…exciting. It was thrilling to think that he had such thoughts about her. About his cabin boy.
Dear Lord.
“I want you to see something.” She said and he took a step closer.
“What is this something, lad? Hmm?” he asked as he playfully tugged at her hat, almost pulling it over her eyes.
“Please, sir. It’s serious.” She snapped at last and he leaned back at her tone.
“Alright, no need to snap, boy. Lead on, will you?” he flourished a hand towards the door but she could see that he was amused.
Josette ignored his obvious amusement and stepped towards the door. Jack placed his rum on his desk as he passed by it and quickly pulled his shirt over his head. He left it un-tucked and it fell over the waistband of his breeches.
They made their way to the hold and when they entered Jack frowned.
“Are there any rats down here? If there are we need to get a couple of cats so…” he trailed off when Josette stepped away from in front of him and pointed at the far side of the hold.
John appeared and behind him was Victoria.
Jack’s eyes widened and he stilled, “Oh, Bugger.” He breathed as he stared at the woman with horrified eyes.
“Jack.” She smiled albeit a bit shyly and he shook his head as if to clear it.
“Wait a minute…Did you expect payment?” he asked her quite bluntly and rudely and Josette’s eyes widened while John almost snorted.
Victoria frowned and her eyes darkened with sadness.
“Captain!” Josette hissed and Jack turned to her.
“What?” he exclaimed, “I don’t remember inviting her here! She is here for a reason, isn’t she?” he said angrily and Victoria flinched as he turned his dark eyes to her, “What is it that you want? You do realize that you trespassed in my ship, don’t you?” he asked her and John winced.
Josette noticed it and looked at the girl. She did felt sorry for her.
“I am sorry.” Victoria said quietly and Jack rolled his eyes.
“That does not answer my question now, does it, lass?” he asked impatiently.
Josette realized that her Captain could be mean after all. When he wanted of course.
“No…I just wanted to leave and you…” Victoria trailed off and Jack narrowed his eyes.
“I what?”
“You said that you liked me.” She murmured and then her wide blue eyes gazed up at him, “You said I was pretty.” She said as she flushed bright red.
Josette’s fists clenched and she looked at Jack whose eyes had softened a bit. She didn’t like that.
“I like a lot of people, lass, but that doesn’t mean that they have the right to get aboard my ship without my permission.” Jack said softly and John rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
The whole thing was bothering him as well. Josette could see it.
“I know.” Victoria replied and Josette left Jack’s side and went to stand next to John who relaxed slightly at her close presence.
“Well, there’s nothing we can do now, is it?” Jack groaned as he looked at Victoria and then at Josette, “Bring her to the cabin, Josh.” He told her and Josette bit the inside of her lip in order to keep her groan in.
“Aye, sir.” She muttered anyway.
“You’ll take me with you then?” Victoria asked hopefully and Jack looked at her carefully.
“Aye. Until we reach Tortuga.” He nodded and Victoria faltered.
“Tortuga?” she asked and Jack’s eyes narrowed in realization.
“You didn’t expect me to look after you, did you, love?” he asked as he walked closer and grasped hold of her chin.
“I…” she trailed off and John quickly excused himself.
No one paid him any mind. Only Josette nodded at him before he walked away.
“I am sorry, darling but if you’re looking for a husband, you’ve come to the wrong place. I can’t have you with me.” Jack said quietly before he released her and stepped back, “Josh.” He looked at Josette and she nodded.
She took Victoria’s arm and led her out of the hold and towards the Captain’s quarters.
They walked in and Josette fidgeted nervously, “You can sit.” She said to Victoria who looked up with watery eyes.
“I thought he liked me.” She whispered pathetically and at that moment Josette was glad that she was pretending to be a man. It saved a lot of trouble; and heartache.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

The first morning of Victoria’s stay aboard the Pearl, Josette had walked out of the side cabin and had seen the woman curled around Jack’s form like a cobra. From what she had got glimpse of, she had seen that their clothes were off but they were covered by the sheets so she couldn’t have been sure of what had happened. And she had no wish to know.
The second morning had been the same aside from the fact that Josette had heard a few strange noises coming from the main cabin the night before.
On the third morning, she had enough and she was ready to explode of embarrassment and fury. Seeing them together under the sheets was one thing but seeing them in action together was another.
She knew that her Captain had no shame but the girl? She would have been mortified if she knew that someone was close by while she has with a man. But apparently, Victoria was so desperate for Jack to keep her that she had taken serious measures to ensure that he would have trouble letting her go.
To ensure her sanity, she decided to leave the cabin for the time being. But first she had to ask him.
Damn.
As she brought them their breakfast on the third morning she looked at Jack and cleared her throat.
“Can I speak to you, sir?” she asked as she fumbled with her hands.
“Aye, lad?” Jack looked up while Victoria picked up a slice of apple.
“Um…I want to talk to you about something.” Josette said more confidently.
Jack watched her with a raised eyebrow while the girl was silently munching on the piece of fruit.
“Well, spit out, lad, before it chokes you.” Jack said when Josette remained silent.
Josette took a deep breath before she opened her mouth to speak, “I request…” she trailed off and then groaned, “Please, can I tell you over there, sir?” she murmured quietly and Jack, sensing her uneasiness, stood up and walked over to her.
They stepped towards the side cabin and Jack crossed his arms over his chest as he waited for her to speak.
“Since the Miss is staying here with you-…” she started and Jack frowned.
“Until we reach Tortuga.” He stated and Josette wondered if he would really let her stay at that place alone.
“Yes. I request permission to sleep in the crew’s quarters.” She said and Jack paused. His eyebrows furrowed together and he held up a hand, “Come again? You wish to sleep elsewhere?”
“Yes. For your privacy.” She said and he stared at her intently before he shook his head.
“Request denied.” He muttered before he turned to walk away, obviously too final about his answer.
“But, sir! Why?” she asked almost angrily and he paused.
“Because you’re my cabin boy. Or have you forgotten it?” he said as he turned to face her with a challenging look upon his handsome face.
“No, of course I haven’t forgotten it!” she exploded and Jack cocked an eyebrow.
“Then what?” he asked and she pursed her lips.
“I feel uncomfortable being in the same cabin with you.” She said through gritted teeth and Jack blinked innocently.
“With me?” he questioned and she almost groaned.
“It’s not proper for me to be here at nights while you…you…” she had trouble saying the actual words.
“While I what, lad? Say it.” He challenged her and she took a deep breath.
“While you’re intimate with the Miss.” She forced out and he smirked.
“Oh, that. I had forgotten that you were jealous.” He said as he placed a finger on his lips and looked at her studiously.
“I am not jealous.” She said in a low quiet voice.
“You’re more than welcome to join us.” He teased and Josette saw red.
“Must you mock me so?!” she snapped and Jack flinched while his eyes widened.
“Lad…”
“I am being serious! What makes you think I’d want to be here? I am only here so that I can do my duties, not to spy on my Captain as he fucks his latest concubine!”
As soon as the words left her lips she regretted them and her hand flew to her mouth in mortification. Her eyes widened at her own cheek and Jack seemed as taken aback by her outburst as she was. Victoria gasped as well and stopped eating. She had heard them.
Jack didn’t react like she had expected him to though. She had expected him to yell back or mock her some more but he did none of that. He simply looked at her long and hard with his unreadable eyes before he took a step back and raised his hands up in surrender.
“Do as you wish. As long as you’re back in the morning for your chores.” He said with an odd look upon his face. He was as composed as ever but the slight twitch of his cheek gave away his tension.
“Thank you.” Josette replied before she fled the cabin and hurried away to do the day’s laundry.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

“Josh.” Jack’s voice was quiet as he stepped out of the cabin and looked at her as she spoke with Gibbs with Dave.
“Captain?” she asked quietly as she approached him. She was awfully embarrassed of what had happened but he ought to be as well. Was he doing it on purpose so he could see her reaction? She had no idea. Perhaps he was but then again, he was not strict in what concerned his sexual morality and that much was obvious by his general behavior and comments. She was certain that he would in fact have no problem if she were to join his night time activities with that woman. He wouldn’t mind if he were caught in act either.
And that concerns you because? Her inner voice told her and she frowned.
I don’t know. She replied and an odd feeling deep inside her made her heart clench.
She wasn’t possessive of him, was she? She had no right to be.
“You can come in and clean up now. I’ll be playing cards with Dave until late tonight.” Jack’s voice cut off her thoughts and she sprung into action.
“Aye, sir.” She said as she quickly walked over and entered the cabin.
As soon as she was inside she came face to face with Victoria’s narrowed gaze. Josette’s words had obviously bothered her but if she were smart enough she would have long realized that Jack Sparrow wasn’t a man to be tied down.
Ignoring Victoria’s loathsome gaze, she proceeded further into the cabin.
“Tidy up the desk a bit, aye? It’s a mess.” Jack said as he stepped close to the desk and grabbed his hat.
“Yes.” Josette nodded as she stepped next to him and started placing various things in order.
“Good lad.” Jack murmured as he leaned forward to grab his compass as well. His breath fell on Josette’s cheek as he reached over and picked up the compass. His body brushed hers for a moment and then he was gone.
“Come, lass.”
For a moment Josette refused to look up but as their footsteps got further and further away from her she couldn’t resist it and she looked at their backs until Jack pulled the door shut.
Josette looked away and sighed deeply before she started cleaning up.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

She didn’t realize that she had fallen asleep until she heard her name being called.
“Josh.”
It was Jack and he was shaking her gently.
“Hmm.”
“Wake up.” He was obviously amused.
“I’m sorry.” She mumbled as she shot up straight and looked around. It was dark.
“You fell asleep on my desk?” Jack chuckled as he looked down at her, “You could’ve gone back to your hammock.” He told her and quickly she stood up.
“No, I’ll head below deck.” She shook her head.
“Go to your hammock. She’s asleep. I won’t be rumbling the sheets tonight, you have my word.” He looked at the bed and Josette followed his gaze.
“Why didn’t you wake me up, sir?” she asked with a gasp.
“I just came in and saw you. She obviously didn’t.” Jack said as he shot an odd look towards Victoria.
“Oh. Okay then…Just for tonight.” Josette murmured and Jack inclined his head. He made way for her to pass and then followed her to the side cabin.
“Captain?” she said quietly and he looked at her expectantly.
“Aye?”
“I am sorry for what I said. I was rude.” She said and Jack studied her for a moment before he approached her.
Josette held her breath as he stopped just a breath away from her and looked down at her with his dark chocolate eyes.
“I should have put you in the brig. And I would have if it had been anyone else but you. Such cheek is not usually appreciated but I know what’s going on inside that head of yours.” He said as he tipped her head up and pushed back her hat.
“Sir?” her voice quivered but he only smirked.
“I know exactly what goes on inside this little head.” He murmured as he leaned down and spoke against her lips. His hot breath fanned over her lips and her eyes widened as his lips brushed against hers in a near-kiss.
“The decision’s up to you now, isn’t it?” he said with a lopsided grin as his eyes dropped briefly to her mouth which was parted in shock, “After all, you need those kissing lessons I told you about.” He said and Josette’s eyes widened. She stepped back from him and narrowed her eyes.
“Captain!” at her reprimand he burst out laughing.
Josette’s anger flared at his teasing, “You should decide if you’re serious or not, sir. You’re giving me a whiplash and most of it all, your jokes are getting old.” She snapped quietly before she grabbed her pillow and walked out of the cabin, leaving him speechless.

Author’s note: Eeem…yes. Things got out of hand again but as you can see Josette’s nerves are not well. And she is right to be so confused, isn’t she? Hell, he is giving me a whiplash.
