Runaway With a Pirate

Chapter 27

Sawyer had shown Willow to his bathroom. She was kind of glad that he did. It meant that Dustin couldn't try pushing her off the boat again. When she heard him leave his room she stripped off her wet clothes and got into the shower. Turning the knob to get water she was treated with instant warm water. With a sigh, she let the water comfort her.

When she fell into the ocean Willow thought that she was going to drown. But Sawyer had dove into the ocean himself and saved her. She didn't know how they had managed to get back on the boat or how he seemed to have been dry, even though he just got out of the ocean with her. But her mind hadn't processed anything to say. Instead, she stayed quiet as he led her to his room.

When she heard the bathroom door open and close Willow assumed that Sawyer had brought her some clean clothes. Sticking her head out from behind the shower curtain she saw that her assumption was correct. Relaxing even more she started to hum. Her humming led to quiet singing.

"I know the other girls wanna wear expensive things, like diamond rings
But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string
This queen don't need a king," Willow quietly sang grabbing Sawyers bar of soap.

As she lathered it on her arms her singing slowly grew louder," Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this girl right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that's where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9 to 5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty
Mr. Right could be nice, for one night
But then he wanna take control
And I would rather fly solo
That Snow White
She did it right in her life
Had 7 men to do the chores
'Cause that's not what a lady's for."

Turning off the shower she stepped out and grabbed one of the black towels hanging by the shower. Drying off and getting her clothes on she continued her song," The only thing that a boy's gonna give a girl for free's captivity
And I might love me some vanilla but I'm not that sugar sweet
Call me HBIC
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this girl right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that's where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9 to 5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be, 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty
Sure I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world
But they say pretty hurts
And I don't wanna sit still
I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world
But no, I won't sit still, look pretty
Sure I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world
But they say pretty hurts
And I don't wanna sit still
I'm-I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world
But no, I won't sit still, look pretty
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this girl right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that's where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9 to 5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this girl right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that's where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9 to 5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
Sit still, look pretty
Sit still, look pretty
Sit still, look pretty
Sit still, look pretty."

After finishing the song Willow exited the bathroom. Freezing in her tracks she saw Sawyer sitting at his desk. He was sitting back in his chair with his eyes shut. Taking a few steps closer she could see the slow even breaths that told her Sawyer had fallen asleep. She watched him for a while she couldn't believe how peaceful he looked while he slept. It was like he was a completely different person. She didn't know how long she had been staring at him, but when his eyes opened and landed on her she knew she had been caught.

"What are you staring at?" Sawyer asked raising a brow.

"Oh umm... I," Willow stuttered her face heating up," I didn't mean to wake you."

"You didn't wake me," Sawyer said," and you have a nice voice."

Her face grew even hotter when he said that. She didn't even think that he would have stayed in his room, let alone hear her singing.

"So is that what you was humming the day I lost my temper with you?" Sawyer asked.

Willow could speak so she nodded her head. She was embarrassed that he heard her sing.

"You know tomato face if this was how I could have gotten you to shut up I think I will have to do it more often," Sawyer said with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Sh-shut up," Willow stuttered.

She watched as he motioned his hand for her to take a seat. Doing what she's told, Willow plops down onto the couch across from him.

"So what happened between you and Dustin?" Sawyer questioned.

"It was nothing," Willow lied.

"Willow I want the truth," Sawyer said.

Willow sat there for a few minutes quietly before Sawyers' intense stare became too much.

"He was asking why I hadn't gotten up when I was supposed to and then started demanding a lot of things from me," Willow said quietly.

"Is that it?" Sawyer asked leaning to rest his arms on his desk.

"No, then he started asking a lot of questions as to why I was in your room," Willow said.

"And what did you tell him?" Sawyer asked generally curious.

Willow took a moment to look at Sawyer before answering. She found it cute that his head would tilt to one side when he started asking a lot of questions.

"I told him it was none of his business and if he really wanted to know he could ask you," Willow finally answered," then he pushed me off the boat."

"He didn't do anything else?" Sawyer asked.

"No, and thank you," Willow said.

"For what?" Sawyer asked confusion written all over his face.

"For jumping into the ocean and saving me," Willow said.

"There's no need to thank me," Sawyer said," I keep my crew safe and that means I will keep you safe."

"Well still," Willow said," it means a lot to me, and if you don't mind I'd like to get back to doing my duties."

Willow took a nod of Sawyer's head as an okay to leave. Taking her exit Willow made her way back onto the deck. Dustin was nowhere in sight. Taking that as a good thing she began to finish her duties while constantly looking to make sure Dustin was nowhere in sight.
