Chapter
Three
„Where are we
going?“
Jack
grinned, looked at his compass, turned the ship´s wheel a bit to the right. A
fresh sea breeze filled the sails.
“I can´t
hear you!”
Will
cursed, fighting with a heavy rope he was trying to tie to the mast.
“I said,
where are we going!!?”
“Tortuga!”
“Tortuga?”
Will had
finally managed to tie the knot, ran over to Will, breathless.
“And what
are we doing in… Tortuga?”
Jack leant
forward.
“Getting a
crew together… Or do you think we can sail this ship forever on our own?”
He was
right. The ship they had boarded at night, the “HMS Endeavour”, was surely not
the largest in the fleet of the British Empire. But to sail it with two men,
one of them a blacksmith, totally inexperienced with sailing, could only work
for a short distance.
Will watched
Jack thoughtfully.
“And if you
have your crew, what are you- are we- going to do then?”
Jack
laughed out loud. “I am a
pirate, mate! What do
you think pirates do?! We will sail the seven seas…”
“And board,
steal, rob, murder…?” Will crossed his arms in front of his chest. “No, thank
you.”
Jack
smirked.
“Oh…. Oh
yes. Of COURSE we will only rob the baaaad ones. Hey, watch out for that sail!”
Will raised
his eyebrow. “We´ll have to talk about that…”
He ran back
to the mast.
It was a strenuous
journey, and it wasn´t always easy to hold the course. Their nights were short
– most of the time Jack was steering the ship while Will was asleep under a
blanket on deck, then, after a few hours, they switched. But the sleep was
always light and often interrupted when help was needed. And Will, although he
learnt fast, needed help quite often. He felt guilty every time he had to wake
Jack again - often ten minutes after he had laid down to sleep. But Jack never
complained when Will shook his shoulder, shouting helplessly “Jack? Jack!! Is
that a reef ahead of us or a whale or what?”.
They sailed
for two days and two nights – both tired and exhausted.
But among
all the hard work, the running, shouting commands, climbing in the masts and
rigging, there was something that had become a kind of ritual. Whenever the sea
was calm, Jack called Will over. He fastened the wheel with a rope so that he
could leave the ship unattended for a moment.
He had
found a balm in the Captain´s cabin, smelling strongly of camomile, and as
often as possible he applied it to the weals on Will´s back and his sore
wrists.
Will was
not able to explain it, but there was something exciting about it- coming over
to Jack, taking off his shirt, turning his back to him… Feeling the cool balm,
feeling Jack´s hands – then turning around again, stretching out his arms,
watching Jack as he rubbed the balm carefully on Will´s wrists.
He smiled.
“I could do this myself…”
Jack looked
up.
“That´s
right, you really could. Do you want to?”
Will shook
his head slowly.
“No…”
Jack turned
Will´s hands, stroked the inner side of his wrists with his thumbs.
“Good…”
They looked
at each other, smiling. Then Will went back to sorting the ropes in the stern,
nearly feeling sorry that the faint red stripes on his buttocks had already
faded, so that on their first day at sea Jack had decided after a short look
not to waste any balm on them.
Nothing
more happened on their journey- it was like an unspoken agreement that the ship
needed their undivided attention and that Will´s wounds had to heal first.
Finally, in
the evening, they reached the safe harbour of Tortuga.
Will
stumbled down the planks, jumped up and down on the quay.
“Solid
ground!!… Finally…!!”
He ran
after Jack who already walked down the dirty street, making his way through
drunken sailors and provocatively dressed women with too much make-up.
“Hey!! And
where are we going NOW?”
Jack looked
over his shoulder.
“Tavern! I
need RUM!!!”
They drank a
lot that night and Will just sat there, shaking his head with a mixture of
disbelief, horror and amusement when Jack entertained the whole tavern with
stories of past adventures.
In the end
they both were so drunk that there was no way making it back to the
Endeavour and so they ended up in one
of the rooms above the tavern, stumbling up the bumpy stairs and falling on the
bed still fully dressed, falling asleep instantly.
Will awoke
late at night from the obscene cursing of the last customer who got kicked out
of the tavern. He rubbed his eyes, sat up slowly. His mouth was dry, his face
still burned from the sun and the sea salt. But his back felt good- at least he
was able to sleep on it again.
Stumbling
out of bed he found his way to the enamel wash-basin, took off his clothes that
smelled of rum and dirt. The water was ice cold but refreshing.
Shivering
he climbed back into the bed, pulling the thin cover up to his chin.
“Can´t you
make less noise chattering with your teeth?” a grumpy voice came from the other
side of the bed.
“It´s
cold…”
Jack turned
over, half asleep, let one arm drop across Will´s chest.
“`l warm
ya…”
Will
sniffed, pulled a face, tried to push Jack´s arm away.
“No,
thanks…”
Jack did
not react, obviously he had fallen asleep again.
Will
sighed, closed his eyes.
Just when
he felt he was drifting off to dreamland, Jack´s arm moved.
Slid under
the cover.
Will
frowned sleepily.
“Hey…”
Maybe it is
just a dream, he thought, when Jack moved closer, disappeared under the cover.
The rough leather of his clothes rubbed at Will´s naked body. His beard and the
beads in his hair tickled Will´s chest, his stomach, moving down.
Will
swallowed, took a deep breath.
“Uh…”
He grabbed
the sheets.
“What… Are
you doing…”
If it was a
dream, it was a good one.
A very good
one.
He wondered
how drunk Jack was, and if he would remember any of this in the morning. Maybe
not… He wondered if…
But then he
decided to just stop wondering and thinking. He moved his hands behind his
head, grabbed the headboard of the bed.
He gasped
when Jack´s lips wandered to regions of his body where he never would have
imagined to ever be kissed…
Will
moaned, his head tossed from left to right. He did not dare to lift the bed
cover, because he knew the sight of what was happening down there would make
him surely faint. Or scream.
He screamed
anyway when he came, his body pressed to the bed by Jack´s strong hands.
When he
finally calmed down, wet lips moved up his body, brushed his ear.
“Are we
feeling warmer now?”
Will gasped
for air. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Oh God…
Yeah…”
Jack
smirked.
“Fine. Can
we sleep now?”
Will half
expected him to turn away, but when he looked over, he saw Jack lying on his
back, his dark eyes nearly gleaming in the dark, his arm reached out.
He slid
nearer and Jack wrapped his arm around his shoulder.
He looked
at Will and then he pressed his lips briefly on his forehead.
Will
snuggled up to him, feeling safe and warm in the arms of a man he hardly knew.
But he knew
one thing.
Wherever
Jack would go tomorrow- he would stay with him.
Follow him.
