Captain Jack's Surprise (58)

Waking up next to Captain Jack Sparrow (This isn't connected with my previous one shot about a young girl and Jack, this is different, but you can pretend that it's the same story if you want to) :)

Nothing in particular woke yourself and Jack up this morning. There was no sounds of cannonball's flying, no sounds of screaming and shouting, no creaky wooden boat noises, not even the sea, which surrounded The Pearl, made any noise. Jack awoke first. You and him, like you usually did these days, woke up on the floor of the captains quarters cabin. You and Jack didn't sleep on the floor necessarily though, when you and Jack got together you made sure he bought a waterbed mattress so you'd both be more comfortable and well rested each morning. 

Jack woke up basically as soon as the sun rose over the horizon in the east most mornings. He must have overslept a little today because the sun was already up and peaking through the cabin windows this morning. He dusted his long thick hair out of his face and peered down at your sleeping body. You were leaning on his chest a little and your head was resting on his right shoulder. Your hands rested on his heart which, although he didn't want to admit to it, Jack adored it. He didn't have the heart to nudge you onto the mattress, but he didn't want to miss the remaining sunrise outside. He carefully scooted himself away from you and off the mattress and held your head and torse so you didn't wake up. He then laid you down flat on the mattress, blew you a kiss then got up.

Jack smelled horrible of rum and salty water and his captains quarters was like a pigsty, but he ignored it for now though and left the cabin to gaze off to the east. He only just made it outside in time to witness the sun finish rising for about a minute or so. Then when the sky went from orange to blue he walked back into his cabin. You were still fast asleep.

"Aye, good girl. Keep sleepin'."

While you kept sleeping Jack cleaned up, which was rare for him. He cleaned some of last nights dinner off his desk (it was chicken legs, and baked potatoes) and spat on the wood and used his shirt sleeve to polish the desk until it was spotlessly clean. He then opened a few of the windows and helped himself to a green apple as breakfast.

He was midway through his apple when he heard you moan. "Jack?"

Jack went from sitting lounged on his chair with his feet up on the desk to standing to attention. He put his half eaten apple down on the desk and walked around to where you were on the floor. He waited for you to moan again. "Jackie?"

"Hey, what's wrong, dear?" He kneeled down and touched the left side of your face with one hand. He rubbed your cheek with his thumb and tilted his head. "I've got an apple for ya, if you want it?" Jack jumped up and grabbed his half eaten apple, then kneeled down once again. "Here, sniff it." He put it to your nose, but you shook your head.

"No. What time is it?"

"Probably 7am. I don't really know what time zone we're in right now, but I think we are somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. It's a little chilly, but mostly ok. The sun just rose, darlin', you should have seen it. It was nearly as beautiful as you, dear."

You smiled a little.

"Would you like my apple?"

"No. Just give me a second to get up then I'll join you on deck. You better go and relieve Gibbs from his night shift duties..."

Jack's heart sank. He forgot that poor Mr Gibbs was awake steering the ship. Jack made a plan that as soon as the sun rose Jack would take over from him. Jack jumped up and scrambled outside, up the stairs and to the wheel. There Gibbs was fast sleep standing up holding the wheel.

"Oi, Oi, Oi, Gibbs."

"Lucky bastard..." He mumbled under his breath when he woke.

"Aye?"

"Nothin', Jack. I was just dreamin' about... erm a young lass."

"What young lass? The only lasses you know are Elizabeth Swann and Y/N. Elizabeth is gone with Will to have children, or whatever, and Y/N is off limits."

"Erm... aye, Jack. Are you taking over the steering of the ship?"

"Yes, indeed. Y/N will be joining me shortly. Off you go, Gibbs."

"Aye, thank you, Captain." Gibbs shuffled away and went below deck. 

Jack took charge of the sip once again, steering the ship left and right every so often and waited for you to arrive.

When you finally woke up you went upstairs to surprise Jack. Without him really noticing you'd stolen a new outfit from a small shop at one of the docks The Pearl docked at a couple weeks ago and today was the perfect time to put it on and surprise Jack. 

The outfit was a very short white dress. The dress had very thin staps that went over your shoulders and down to your lower back. The dresses was very silky and probably would have been quite expensive if you'd actually bought it rather than stole it. The dress was quite short too so you knew Jack would probably like it.

You put the dress on and then went outside to show Jackie. You wrapped yourself in one of Jack's spare jackets so you were able to surprise him quite well.

"Hey..." You said. You crossed your arms in front of you and held the large coat shut.

"Hello, my dear. You finally woke up."

"Hmm, yes. I also wiped the floor because you spilled some rum on the floor last night while in bed."

"Ah, yes. Sorry about that, dear." He looked down at your bare legs,  "Aren't you cold?"

"A little."

"Aw, darlin'. Go back inside if you're cold. I can captain this ship alone-"

"No. I wanted to show you something."

"Aye?"

You stopped crossing your arms and revealed your dress under Jack's coat.

"Woah." Was all Jack managed to say at first. He looked you up and down and even moved the coat out of the way so he could get a clear view of you in the dress. "Jesus Christ, you look perfect, dear."

"Thanks. Do you really like it, honestly?"

"Indeed I do, my dear." Jack let the stirring wheel go and touched your shoulders all the way down to your thighs with both hands. He was at a loss for words.

"How does it make you feel?"

"I feel so many things, a million different things. You look so beddable right now." He said with a large smile.

"Beddable?"

"Beddable." He repeated. "Why. Don't. We. Go. Back. Inside. And." He made quotation marks with his fingers, "Go back-to-bed."  He was being cheeky.

"But who will captain the ship if you're gone?"

"Damn, The Pearl! You matter more to me than this ship does. Yes, I fought Davy Jones and Barbossa over it's ownership for decades, but now I have you. You will always matter more to me than this ship."

"Aw, darling Jack."

Jack smiled again and snaked his arms around your waist. "Let's go to bed, my breath-taking princess."

"Yes, captain!" 

Jack scooped you up and carried you back into his cabin...
