James POV

"He wouldn' do it. The only thing he's good at is stayin' quiet and bein' too scared to get his pretty little trousers wet."

I quickly looked up from my "Guide To The Creatures Below" and stared at the group of crew members snickering from afar. I knew they were talkin about me and i knew they knew i could hear them.

They've been trying to get me to ask what it was that i "couldn't do" for the past six minutes, but i wouldn't give them pleasure. They can all get sent to the plank for all i care.

"Maybe if he had his little boyfriend come and get him we wouldn't have to deal with his lazy ass." Laughter followed that and i felt my cheeks get warm, wishing they never found my journal that might have hinted im not interested in the female sex.

Having​ quite enough of this i set my book down on a barrel i was sitting by and made my way towards the bastards.

"What do you want Hamilton?"  i questioned irritably, wanting to smack that smirk of his stupid face.

Still grinning he pointed to a flouting piece of fabric in the water a couple yards away from the ship, "Laurens here dropped his hat, go and get it."

"No," i stated with a deadpanned face, turning to go back to my book.

"Jeremy will get tossed in the water," Hercules, another one of Hamiltons friends, stated with a threatening​ voice.

"I need a boat, its too far to swim and you guys need to tie a rope to the boat so you can pull it back onto the ship," i stated without hesitation already motioning the group to help me put a boat overboard. 

Jeremy is my pet turtle that i got a while back.The captain is fine with him but ever since little Jeremy bit Hercules' toe while sleeping, he has had to stop Hercules multiple times from trying to kill my turtle.

Once we finally got everything ready i started paddling over to the floating hat. I got to it quite quickly and snatched it from the calming waves.

While i pulled it in the boat however, my paddle was already out of my reach, sinking deeper into the sea. Cursing to myself i yelled to the group, "You're going to have to pull me back! I lost my paddle."

But their backs were turned to me and i doubt they heard a single thing. Sighing and deciding that i would just relax until they pulled me in, i laid my cheek against the wood of the boat and drifted into a state of peace with the waves.

"Are you dead handsome?"

Snapping my eyes open i jumped and nearly tipped myself over. After composing myself i looked up to see a man with dark brown curly top hair smiling at me.

It struck me odd that he appeared to be swimming in the middle of the ocean but before i could say anything i was cut off by him laughing, "Don't look so scared hun! Im not gunna eat ya, you're too pretty for that."

Blushing vigorously i opened my mouth to say something but only ended up stuttering, which caused me to snap my mouth shut out of embarrassment.

The man didn't seem to notice my awkward state or didn't care and stuck out his hand, "The names Thomas Jefferson, what's yours cutie?"

With a shaky hand, i held onto Thomas' hand and stuttered, "J-james Madis-son." Of course my dumb butt forgot to shake his hand so we just ended up holding hands for twelve seconds.

He chuckled and finally shook my hand, "Nice to meet ya Jimmy James. Well i better be off, but ill definitely see you soon, ta-ta!"

And with that, the sea engulfed him and i was left with a thousand questions begging to be answered. Coming to my senses and quickly looking down i saw a flash of purple scales and dark brown hair, then the dark blue of the sea.

Before i could even comprehend what just happened my boat gave a tug and i was being pulled back towards the ship.

When Laurens asked about his hat i gave it to him with a distracted face and didn't hear anything else they said. I made my way to my corner and sat down on unsteady feet.

I could feel my cheeks heat up when i remembered how Thomas didn't pull away from my hand and even gave it a little squeeze.
