Truth and Lies

Part 1 : Jealousy

Emma's POV:

We arrived in Tortuga shortly after a small talk and was now in the middle of the busy town.
It was rustling with activities and very loud in my opinion, but looking in front of me where Killian is leading me, I'd say he was used to it.

It seems that all the people gathered in one and you'd have to push people just to walk through them.

"Do I really have to stay with you?" I asked him. It would be quite funny to see him walk into a women's garments shop.

"As long as you remain where I can see you." he answered, looking away and whispered "that's all I care about".

I wasn't sure if I heard the last part right, but my face turned red having to rethink it. A ring of a bell as Killian opened a wooden door snapped me out of my thought.

"I want to see your best pair of women's clothing" Killian shouted to the girl as she quickly threw a quick wink at his way.

Being not able to leave his sight, I looked around for a simple vest and a pair of cloak. I quickly found a white long dress that I paired with a blue cloak in the back while the girl came back with 5 dresses that was paired with a corset.

The girl came back running and quickly gave it to Killian. She even put one green dress with brown corset in front of her as to show Killian she looks presentable in it. I noticed most the dress were a bit too short that I didn't think it even count as a dress. Not liking the feeling in my stomach while I watch them together, I quickly looked away.

As I continue to look around, I heard Killian say that " he'll buy two of them", including mine. I cringed from the image I pictured while I'm wearing the red one.

As we left the store, the sun was already setting and the people seemed to have vanished. Now that I mention it, I haven't seen Smee or any of the crew around.

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"Most likely in a pub. I ordered a few of them to gather what we need for the next journey." He said changing direction as he led to the back of what seems to be a pub.

"The only thing you need to do here is to have fun and let go." He said as he walked through the door leaving me outside.

I followed him inside and I was overwhelmed with the smell of liquor. I scrunched my nose and walk to an empty table. A bar maid came closer to me and asked what I would like to order. I simply said 'I'm not ordering' as I remembered I don't have any coins with me. Looking around to find the others, sure enough, they were piled into a large table with Killian in the middle and seemed to be playing a game.
'And what am I supposed to do here? Have fun? Yeah, right!?" I mocked him with his voice. The least he can do is give me company. Company to talk, of course.

As if my wish was granted, a man with brown hair, brown eyes, blue vest and leather pants came to sit beside me. I put my head down not entirely sure on what to do in this situation.

He was quite handsome, but the feeling of being close to him made me uncomfortable.

"What's your name darling?" He asked me.

"Umm..Emma" I answered, putting a strand of hair behind my ear.

"That's a really beautiful name." He complimented me.

"Thank you." I answered.

He took one of my hands and said "your hands are so soft, I'm guessing you're yet to be touched?" He asked mischievously.

Knowing what he meant, I looked down and made a disgusting face and took my hand away. As if the moment wasn't awkward enough, he even had the nerve to lean closer. This is not only awkward, but also disgusting.

A sudden loud kick brought me to look up and saw the guy beside me on the floor bleeding.

Killian quickly occupied the seat in front of me and put his rum in the table.
"I said that you can have fun, not flirt with them." he told me.

"Flirting?? I wasn't flirting!" I tried to say, but the looks in his eyes stopped me from continuing. His eyes held pain?

"We're going back!" he ordered

What? We just got here, not that I'm complaining.

Killian grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the pub back to his ship. Trying to stand my ground, I asked "what about the crew?"

"I told them that we will be going back to ship first. They already know what to do anyway. We've done this so many times. "

As he continues to drag me, I noticed my wrist reddening from the pain of his hold. He was hurting my wrist, but why is he in such a hurry to leave.

Killian?

Was it... was it possible that he was jealous?

Killian's POV:

Damn that guy.

I was only distracted for a few minutes and he had the nerve to touch what isn't his.

I didn't like it.

I didn't like the feeling I had when that man touched her. What's worst was, she seemed to be oblivious to what he was asking.

From now on, she's not going to be leaving the ship anytime soon. I will also protect her from any trouble, because I lo... No!!

I will protect her because I owe it to her , after she took care of me.

Yes, that's it!

Even if she doesn't look my way, I'll protect her.
