I mopped the floor as good as I could. Me hands hurt and my head was about to explode. I looked across the deck and saw the other cabin kid. When he caught my eye he smiled friendly. It made my cheeks turn red. We've become good friends him and I the past two months. We're both 'slaves' for the crew and we both hate Scropp. I looked down again and saw how the tree deck became more and more soaked with water. Dammit. I was about to turn around when Silver suddenly stood behind me.
"What is this?!" He yelled and pointed to the floor. "You're ruining the deck if you keep on adding more water to it!"
He almost screamed and I could sometimes feel his spit on my face. Disgusting.
"Sorry Mr. Silver. It won't happen aga-"
"It better not! If I see this again, god help you! You're useless for even cleaning! And you can't even cook! I mean what kind of a woman can't cook and clean?!"
I looked down and felt the tears pressure. I wanted to run away, but where to? We were far up in the galaxy, surrounded by stars.
"Sorry Mr-"
"Don't you use your puppy eyes and soft voice on me woman! You're pathetic!"
"Stop it!"
I looked up and saw Jim had dropped his mop and were now walking up to us.
"How dare you talk to her like that!" He yelled at Silver. "I don't see you even try to clean the deck while (Y/N) and I are working out asses off! And your cooking skills aren't as perfect as you think!"
Silver suddenly grabbed Jim by his collar and threw him away. Jim rapidly got up again and jumped at Silver and they both fell.
"Stop it guys!" I yelled at them, but they kept fighting. "Stop it! You're gone wake the whole crew!"
They ignored me and I heard how the hits and knocks got worse. Finally Jim had backed up and stood now in front of me with his arms reached out in each side like he was protecting me.
"And if I ever hear you say something like that to her again, I won't go easy on you."
"Stupid cabin boy.. you don't know what you're up against," he muttered as he walked away.
Jim turned around and faced me. His eye were swollen and he was bleeding from his lips. Before even thinking I threw myself at him and squeezed him into a hug. He hugged me back and we just stood there like that for a couple of minutes before splitting.
"Thank you Jim," I said. " It you shouldn't have done that.."
"I should, I wanted to and I did." He smiled at me and removed some of the blood with his palms. "You shouldn't be standing there and just take hate to you.. he doesn't have the right to tell you what you're good at and what you're not. I know so much about you, and if he knew you like I did, he would know."
I smiled at him and he grabbed my hand and squeezed it gently. I felt his gaze on me and I was right. When I looked up his eyes were buried deep into mine. I felt the urge to be with him and just..
"I think I've fallen in love with you.." he whispered silently and our foreheads met.
I didn't know what to said so I kept quiet, waiting for him to say some more.
"I've been feeling this way for a while now.. please say you feel the same way.."
"Jim I.."
AND HERE YOU DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT ;))
SEE YA NEXT IMAGINE.
