Lost Girl

Chapter 38-Hideaway

He brought you to the center of the deck and seemed hesitant when he looked down at his metal appendage. Without hesitation, you placed his left arm around your back, took his right hand with your own, and put your left hand on his shoulder, but you couldn't look up at him from embrassment so your eyes just stayed watching your footwork.

"You don't have to stand on ceremony love. Weddings are too formal as is." He broke the silence.

"We- I shouldn-"

"No need to apologize, but I knew you weren't going to stop him Princess." He smirked and raised an eyebrow.

You furrowed your brow before realizing and looking up at him, "You were listening at the door!" That was almost a shout, but you tried to keep your voice down.

"I'm not going to let two newlyweds destroy my room." He said very matter-of-factly and you rolled your eyes and kept your mouth shut. "Receptions are a tad overrated anyway. The only good part is the cake."

"There's cake!?" You halted the dance as you looked around which caused Hook to trip over your feet.

"I think so." He muttered trying to gain his balance and control of the dance.

You let go of Hook's hand and started scoping out the place. "I haven't had cake in forever. How have I survived this long?" You mumbled while walking from the Captain. He stood dumbfounded in the center of the deck. Cake was a good reason to leave that conversation with Hook. Plus it's cake. Who wouldn't want to know where to find some?

"Are you looking for something darling? Or did you just want to get away from the pirate?" Peter asked.

"Little bit of both, mostly the first one. Do we have cake?"

"I don't think so..."

"That liar!" You quickly realized you had just shout that out into the air and brought your hands over your mouth.

He pulled you close to him. "I will get you some cake. Perhaps a good time to do that would be tomorrow morning." He spoke into your ear, "Would you like to get out of here?" His words caused a deep blush to fill your cheeks. You smirked and looked up to him with a confident glint in your eyes then nodded. Peter bit his lower lip. "Perfect...no more interruptions then." He glanced over to Will and led the both of you over to him. "Thank you very much for all you have done."

"You're very welcome." Will replied.

"I think it's time we take our leave." He smiled down to you as you nodded.

"I'll get the boat ready." He set down his violin and moved to the pulley that supported the small row boat on the side of the ship.

"Please give my regards to the Captain." Peter spoke to Will.

"Of course."

Peter lent a hand as you picked up your dress and stepped into the boat. He shortly followed and took up the two paddles. Will and another lost boy carefully lowered the boat into the water. The Captain, his first mate, and all the other lost boys pushed to the edge of the boat to bid a farewell as Peter rowed away.

As the Jolly Roger faded away as the row boat rounded a corner of the island, you turned to Peter and inquired, "Where are we going?"

"To a nice little spot on the opposite side of the island."

"I didn't know there were any inhabitable places over on the other side of the island."

"Well in fact a certain inhabitant used to live there. You even know her."

"Her? Who?"

"A certain fairy that...went through a rough patch."

"Tink."
