I sat on my knees in front of him, being sure to be careful not to hurt him. it was around 5 pm and honestly, I couldn't wait to do this anymore. I laid awake last night just thinking about it. I looked up at him through my lashes as he looked down at me

"I'm not hurting you am I," I asked because I know how bad these can hurt sometimes

"no, but hurry up," he said I rolled my eyes

"don't rush me, I can take my time and do it right or rush and fuck it up" I glared at him and went back to sewing savages pants. 

"but really are you almost done, I'm tired of standing" I rolled my eyes and finished the last of the stitches. the bottom of savages pants was too long and I had forgotten to hem them until like 2 this morning.

"ye, I'm done," I said tying and cutting the string i stood up and looked over the outfit, his hair was out of his face but it was too long to just slick back so we compromised on a half up half down ponytail, his face was shaved clean 

which took a lot of convincing 

savage also wore a black coat that stopped just below his knee, the coat was embroidered with gold thread with a white ruffle shirt underneath. his pants were a tan color the pants started at his waist and stopped around his knees and he wore black boots. I brushed off his shoulder and smiled 

'i did good'

I looked into the back of the shop at the other guys everyone had on something different from the captain except Grey and Graham they were going to attend the ball as well and pickpocket people. that leaves Churchill, Carter, and Boar to pretend to be our guards and escort us to the ball. then after they would pose as the royal guard and help steal supplies and things we would need for the ship. me and savages job was to provide cover and pose as a distraction for Grey and Graham. 

"Hey Elizabeth" I heard someone say I looked over and it was carter

"is everything okay?" I asked 

"aye, everythin' in fine but is that what you're going to wear to the ball," he asked I chuckled as I was wearing a simple gown 

"oh course not ill be wearing a diff-" realization hit me like a horse 

I didn't make my dress

"Shit, I didn't make my dress" I panicked and looked around I dropped everything in my hands and immediately start looking through the racks of dresses. 

"I got so focused making sure you guys were prepared I didn't think of myself" I felt someone's hand on my shoulder when I turned it was Hayleigh holding a black velvet and gold dress with gold embroidered lace. it was beautiful. the dress had a corset with off-the-shoulder sleeves that stopped around my elbows that had flowy fabric hanging from them. around the bottom had more beautiful gold lace. 

"This was already something I was working on and honestly I couldn't think of anyone else I would want to wear it." she smiled at me I ran to her and hugged her
