The Pirate and the runway princess

Jealousy

I don't know how long I was asleep, maybe it was a few hours or less. I know when I ascended to the deck it was night time. From what I could see the crew was mainly asleep and I walked over by the edge looking out at the water. I could feel someone watching me though and I briefly looked back seeing Killian.

'How long has he been awake?' Amira thought

I didn't say anything right away to him as I looked back out at the water. Something about it with the night time air seemed peaceful. Though as I was watching and looking out, it did start to get a bit chilly but I could handle it. I wasn't back home anymore where people could do things for me I was going to do it on my own. Suddenly I felt someone behind me as a hand took mine and led me over to the helm.

"Captain, what are you doing?" Amira asked

"You're going to learn how to steer the ship, everyone does sometime." Killian said as he guided my hands to where to hold the wheel.

'Is he serious? This better not be some tactic to get close to me.' Amira thought

Killian showed me the things carved into the wood with a line through them "Port is left, starboard is right." Killian said to me

He stood beside me as he taught me, I knew he was only doing this cause we were the only ones up and it was nice. I paid attention to what I was doing, if I was over too much he'd use his hook to fix it clearly then I felt him behind me as he was by my ear.

"You seem to be a natural at this Selena." Killian whispered to me

I didn't say anything and when we made it to our destination, he took over making sure it was done correctly. I was heading to go below deck, not like I was needed or anything but since everyone was leaving the ship he stopped me. The day time was nothing to talk about, at night we headed to the tavern. Mainly I sat listening to his tales again, he'd almost insisted I sat next to him but I ended up sitting by Smee to keep his flirts at bay. When drinks were handed out, I drank with the rest of them listening but as I did some of the women there were hanging on him! I felt this weird feeling creep up on me.

'What is this feeling?' Amira thought

Trust and believe I ignored it the first time, not dealing with it didn't seem the the problem at first. When we went back to the ship, he was drunk and I could tell that. Smee and the others were no different but I'd managed to stay sober so I was going to let them handle their own situations. I went below deck figuring I would just hang in my cabin, but as I made it to my door someone turned me around. At first, I thought it was one of the men who the captain told not to touch me but in fact it was the Captain himself.

"Selena, you shouldn't be going too far on your own." KIllian said an arm on the door.

I put my hand behind me on the knob "Wouldn't dream of it Captain, now if you excuse me I'm tired I'd like to rest." Amira said to him

"Come on Selena, I know your playing hard to get." Killian said and he leaned in like he was going to kiss me.

I panicked for a moment because I'd never been kissed but I opened the cabin door surprising him as I backed up in it. "Sorry Captain, but I really need to sleep." Amira said before closing the door and I had my back to the door sliding down as I put a hand over my chest.

'My heart is racing, I was panicking that's all. I never been kissed by anyone, Snow has. She came home telling me about it in secret but I never could go there. I want my first kiss to be special.' Amira thought

Had I known what I know now, Maybe i'd of done things differently. In fact we sailed for weeks and the next time we ended up at another tavern I drank the same amount as the rest of them. My emotions were all over the place literally and I thought may as well get drunk to ignore them. Truth is the more women who came over flirting with him, the more I drank to numb the feeling inside. This nagging pain in my chest that seemed like it wasn't going away, it hurt to even consider what it meant. Somehow I ended up drinking more then I thought and well honestly I don't recall this part that's how wasted I was but since I'm telling you my story I have to tell you this part. A man walked over sitting by us, he was flirting with me and from what the men told me I was talking to him in some way flirting back. The man was going to lead me off but before he could Killian picked me up over his shoulder.

"Sorry lad, the lass has had too much to drink." Killian said to the man as he left the tavern taking me back to the ship.

Like I said this part was off what the men told me, made sense in a way cause I remember waking up sometime later. My head pounding from all the booze I'd had, but when I finally focused my vision I realized one thing. I wasn't in my cabin! I went to get up knowing exactly where I was, the Captain's quarters but I couldn't get up from the bed. Looking down I noticed an arm around my waist and I didn't have to be told whose arm that was as I looked beside me seeing the captain asleep.
