Same music as last time, go ahead and play it.

Leo and I swung around the dance floor having the time of our lives. Eventually others joined us and before we knew it everyone was dancing.

The steps began to get faster and faster as the music became even more lively. I felt on top of the world as he twirled me out and back in.

As soon as he twirled me back in we were chest to chest breathing heavily as my gaze caught his. We continued dancing just slower and instead of spinning me he held me even closer.

I felt warm-er than usual in his arms and I didn't feel like moving away from him either. Even when the music stopped we stayed in the same position.

I couldn't look away from his hepnotizing eyes as people around started cheering for another song to play, but for a moment, just a split second it was just the two of us.

And in another split second, his lip covered mine giving me just a little time to kiss back. Though, as soon as his warmth was there, it was gone.

When I opened my eyes he was already halfway out the door. I put my fingers to my lip with only one thought in mind, 'That was my first kiss. That was my first kiss! Best of all it was with my first love!!!'

I was about ready to start jumping for joy when I realized that he literally left me right afterwards. Did I kiss wrong? Am I a bad kisser? Was that just an in the moment kiss?

I looked around and found the others over by the bar drinking away and handing one another money. I walked over and sat with them and noticed them grinning like idiots.

"What?" I asked as Sam and Tom looked back at their drinks, Sam blushing away. "Nothing, just us giving away lost bet money." Nate said snickering with Masoch.

"Oh really?" I asked and Sam nodded. "What bet might I ask?" Everyone seemed to look away but considering Sam was the weakest and the closest, I had my target.

"Sam? What was the bet?" I asked softly enough that only he could hear and he looked torn between telling me or helping his mates. "Ugh! The bet was whether or not cap'n would hook up with ya!" He let it out and immediately started to chug down his drink.

I raised an eyebrow and looked at the others. "Even you Chris?" I asked as he blushed slightly and took a sudden intrest in his shoes. I sighed and shook my head.

Honestly I was hurt by their stupid bet but I understood. We had a lot of, awkward moments on deck, and in his cabin. (No negative thoughts readers)

Third Person P.O.V (after Tom 'walked in' on Leo and Ana)

Tom walked out the room slowly and quietly as he shut the door with an almost horrified look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Chris asked hoping that cap'n didn't kill Anastasia or anything crazy like that.

"C-cap'n a-and Ana-stasia. F-floor cap'n on top..." Tom answered stuttering as he took a seat on the nearest barrel.

"What are ya talkin' about?" Sam asked since he didn't understand the first time.

"Damn Sam! Why can't you understand? He said that cap'n was on top of Anastasia!" Nate yelled which was uncharacteristic for him since he was usually the quiet chef.

Stating wide eyed at Nate, Sam quietly just sat down where he was on the deck and curled up into a ball rocking back and forth. Masoch, who was nearby checking up on the ropes holding the cannons came over to the others.

"What's goin' on?" He asked looking at Sam who was still rocking back and forth. Sighing, Chris explained everything to him and he nodded.

"Soooo, cap'n and Anastasia, hooked up?" Masoch asked nobody in particular as they all seemed to be in a daze.

"No, cap'n doesn't move that fast." Tom said staring at the deck. If anyone was to understand captain it was Tom. They have always been super close and understood each other well.

"I bet five sterlings (silver coins) that they'll get together at Pirate Isle." Nate said jokingly, which was still uncharacteristic of him but it did help lighten the mood.

"Nah, I bet five sterlings that they'll get together after that." Masoch said as he picked Sam up by the collar. "I'm with Nate on this one." Tom replied standing up and joining in on the bets.

"Yeah, me too." Chris joined in with them aas he put his hands on Tom's and Nate's shoulders. "I'm with Masoch." Sam said sheepishly blushing since he didn't fully comprehend the bet situation.

After shaking on it everyone went their seperate ways. Nate to the kitchen, Chris to the 'infirmary', Tom to the wheel, while Sam and Masoch stayed on deck doing whatever they could to help out.

BACK TO ANASTASIA P.O.V (PRESENT TIME)

I was confused for a secocnd but then realized.  He walked out where did he go? Why would he leave me like that?

I felt hurt on the inside as everyone else continued on merrily, drinking, singing, nothing unusual.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked up to see Chris. "If you want to speak to him he's right outside." He gestured to the door with his head and I smiled.

"Thanks." I said standing up from my seat and walking to the door. Right before I walked out I saw my father sitting by the door. "Daddy? What are you doing?"

He looked up and smiled before answering. "I was never much of a party person. At least, not until your mother came along." He answered smiling at the fond memory.

I nodded and was about to continue when I saw Leo sitting outside. I looked to my father trying to come up with an excuse when he grinned and nodded his head.

"Go ahead. I understand." He said while I smiled and hugged him. After that I immediately ran out to where Leo was sitting on a barrel with his back against the wall of the building.

As I walked to him the music became quieter, just a faint, rythmic sound. I walked up next to him and tapped his shoulder silently since his hat covered his face.

He removed the hat and stared wide eyed at me a second before turning his back to me. "Go away." He said just loud enough for me to hear.

I was confused and hurt by his words at first, but then became angry at his jerkness. "No." I answered standing my ground.

"If you don't go then you won't like the punishment." He said trying to scare me off. "I bet I won't, but I'm still not leaving." I replied causually.

"Women." He said sarcastically which offended me greatly. "Men." I said back rolling my eyes. He chuckled aloud and I smiled feeling as if we got ever so slightly closer.

Feeling brave I hugged him from behind resting my head on his shoulder. He tensed up a moment before giving in and relaxing his shoulders.

"Do you even understand?" He asked after awhile of silence. "Understand what?" I asked confused by his question.

"What you do to me. Everytime you look at me, touch me, speak to me. Do you have any idea how hard it is to hold back?" He answered looking down as I smiled at how forward he was being.

I let go of him and walked around to get in front. He looked up at me and I smiled. "Then don't." I replied looking straight into his eyes.

Setting his jaw he stood up right in front of me. I could feel his hot breath on my face as he drew closer. "I'm not sure if you want that." He said caressing my cheek.

"Oh, trust me. I do." I said quietly enough for only him to hear. Without a seconds hesitation he leaned in and connected our lips. We moved in sync and he pushed me up against the wall.

We just stayed there, kissing away through the night until we were out of breath. We stayed there panting a second before he turned around and left. Most likely going back to the ship leaving me there, yet again.
