The Pirate and the runway princess

start of a change

'The Captain has ahold of me?! What happened last night?' Amira thought and for a minute as I checked myself carefully making sure not to touch his arm as I made sure everything she was wearing was on. A relief sigh escaped my lips as I seen it was just him watching out for me. I went to move his arm so I could get up but when I did that he tightened his arm around me. His hook guided my face to look at him as my heart was beating fast.

"Morning Selena, you had quite the night." Killian said

I didn't say anything, I worried if I did that the wrong thing would of came out of my mouth. He could always tell when I was hiding things, trust me lying to him was not the option when he could see through my lies. His expression went sturn for a minute as he kept me looking at him. He got close to me like he'd kiss me or something but stopped inches from me.

"Everytime you pull a stunt like that, you'll be waking up here. I won't see another man lay a hand on one of my crew." Killian said

'Sure, be that the reason you brought me here.' Amira thought

I felt the cold back of the hook, he always kept the pointed end facing away from me never wanting to harm me. Looking in his eyes I was no fool, the man was jealous clear as day and yet I couldn't gain my will to move away. He had a hold of me close to him but somehow I managed to keep it friendly.

"One more thing Selena, With you I won't see another man have you." Killian said

Half of me at that point wanted to give in, say the hell with it and just kiss him but I had my morals about myself. I wasn't some prize even though he seemed to look at me like something to win. Yes, I was a woman but even so I had my reasons for how I was. Still keeping my emotions in check was a challenge with him when being alone.

"I understand Captain." Amira said

It was minutes or seconds i couldn't really tell you before he removed his arm from around me and I carefully got up from the bed. Keeping my back to him seemed ideal in this case since I was in the midst of a very bad situation. Still I left his Cabin without a word going to my own cabin. As I made it to my room and to the bed I layed there letting my hangover be the reason I stayed in bed for the day.

The men were up and doing their jobs Killian had gone up being at the helm of the ship. It was probably best we kept ourselves away from the other. I wanted nothing to do with anyone while I was hung over from all the drinking. Needless to say I should of learned my lesson from this but we sailed for a couple days. I'd made my way up after my hangover during those couple days pulling my part as one of the crew.

'Did I really get so drunk that I made the captain jealous? Sounds absurd.' Amira thought as she was working.

I really couldn't tell you how long we were out on sea, in truth time seemed to stand still but then we made it to another place. The men walked off waiting for the captain and I was going to join them but Killian grabbed my arm. I wondered what could of been so important to grab my arm when the men were down there.

"Yes Captain?" Amira asked him

"I think it's best you stay with me for now." Killian said as we went down to where the men were.

Killian moved his hand from around my arm to around and placing it on my shoulder, every part of me wanted to say something. My face felt like it was heating up but I was able to keep it from showing what was going on. We walked for some time till we made it to another tavern and I could only imagine what could happen in this one.

'Why is he treating me differently here?' Amira thought

When we entered the tavern, the waitress there led us to a table and we all sat down. Killian insisted I sat next to him which I kept questioning why the sudden change. I wasn't his girl, nor was I anything to him but a challenge he was trying to conquer. Drinks were placed around the table to everyone, including me which was fine in my opinion. We were all talking about the previous voyage we'd been on like it was nothing and drinking our drinks. It was peaceful but then I felt the Captain move me, to where I was on his lap and needless to say I did blush.

"Captain what's the meaning of th-" I didn't get to finish as he silenced me and the look in his eyes said to just play along.

My eyes looked all over the tavern never moving my head before I noticed there was a woman who'd come in the tavern. The men told me there were a few of the captains previous wenches who were a tad clingy so he didn't like it. Surprising to hear a man who loves the attention of women doesn't like a clingy woman. Though considering he traveled always on the ship it wasn't too hard to imagine. Soon the woman came over to our table and the captain swiftly had me adjust so it looked natural.

"Killian, I heard you were back in town." The woman said then looked at me seeing I was sitting on his lap but also his arm was around me. "Who is this?"

"Ah sorry Mi'lady but this is Selena Marriot, She's new to my crew but she's my bride to be." Killian said

'He did not just say that!!' Amira thought knowing if her father was alive he'd of never let that happened.

"Your fiancee?" The woman said as she'd noticed I was awfully quiet

"She's shy sometimes when I say it. She's still getting used to the idea." Killian said

It was like it took a minute for it to sink in for this woman before she seemed angry and left the tavern. When Killian put me back where I was sitting I let myself get drunk just like last time. I didn't care if it led me to the Captain's quarters after he just said that. Needless to say I wasn't as drunk as last time but in fact he took my hand leading me out of the tavern just the two of us. Had I been sober I would of probably stopped him but I wasn't clearly thinking as we went to the ship and below deck. I was able to get my hand free as I went to my cabin partly not wanting to risk it going farther then it should but as I reached the door, I was turned around.

"You were a very good girl for cooperating tonight." Killian said to me

"How could I say no, Captain?" Amira asked knowing she was helping him

I wish I had been sober that night, cause somehow we ended up in a kiss. I always imagined my first kiss as something special and yet I felt it was like a stolen kiss being drunk. My mind registered what was happening though and I reached for my door knob but he had pushed me up against the door. I knew if I could get the door open then I could stop it from going any further, so when I did get it open we fell back meeting the wood.
