Arthur's point of view.

The next morning I woke up with somebody near me moving. I opened slowly my eyes and saw a head being rested at my chest, moving slightly as it was trying to find a comfortable spot.

At first I wondered who it might be but suddenly the last night's events came in my mind. Our little match, then our 'talk' and then the thing that made me blush and look away from Scarlett's head. How did this happen?

After a few minutes she opened her eyes slowly and looked around her. She felt something beneath her to move slowly, like someone was breathing and she tried to remember what happened the last night. As she looked around her, she looked up and stared right onto my eyes with her black ones. They were shining in the dark and they were magnificent.

Before I could utter a word, her eyes widened in shock and tried to got up but I hold her down. "I don't think this is the best idea Scarlett. You are naked just like me. If you get up, your upper body will be shown." I said and looked away from her, testing if I could hide my little blush at the dark room. "If you don't mind, I propose that I will get up and get dress while I will hand you your clothes." I proposed and looked with the corners of my eyes at her. She was looking at me thinking, and not long after she nodded and backed away slightly, covering with the blanket her chest area.

Not long after I got up and found my trousers and put them fast and looked around for Scarlett's clothes. "You can turn now if you want. I am wearing my trousers." I told her sheepishly and she reluctantly turned around.

"There is my shirt." I heard her saying as she pointed near the chair, behind her desk. I followed her pointing finger and found her shirt. Not waiting I passed it at her hands fast and steady, trying to find my coat, her trousers and my shirt. "Here is your shirt." I heard Scarlett once more to say as she was holding my white shirt. As she gave it to me she said shyly, "It was under the covers."

I nodded and wore it fast and continued my hunt for our remaining garments. After I found her's and mine, she got up and took her coat and hat from the desk and wore her coat, looking herself at the mirror, trying to fix her hair.

I looked toward her figure as she was fixing her hair and I was wearing my coat and hat, hiding my messy hair. But when I looked at her, I saw her looking at me through the mirror. I immediately turned around and she continued to brush her hair quickly with her hands.

The events kept coming at my mind over and over again, remembering everything that happened from the little match, to the kiss and then to the bed. How did all of these turned out like that? I thought and then I felt a hand at my shoulder. I turned around and saw Scarlett, ready to go out, to command and order her crew. Without waiting I walked with her towards the door of the room.

When I and Scarlett left her quarters, I felt the atmosphere around us getting a little awkward and so without waiting and saying my goodbyes I went to my ship and ordered my crew mates to hoist the anchor and continue our journey as I went to steer the wheel.

Not long after, I felt someone besides me. I turned my head and saw non other than Allistor, with a fresh lit cigarette at his mouth. "So how did you sleep?" He asked and come next to me.

Thinking of the previous night, my face nearly turned red from the blushing but I answered his question restraining that feeling. "Good, why do you ask?" I said and watched him with the corners of my eyes.

Allistor took a big breath, making the cigarette to lit a little more, and then he exhaled it, smoke circling the two of us. "I'm just asking because I want to know what you did to Lassy and she slept with you." Allistor said casually and took a big inhale from his death stick.
