Captain Styles *UNEDITED VERSION*

Chapter 49

Isabella's POV:

 I giggled as Harry pulled me through the streets, a childish grin on his face as we raced towards the ship. "Harry, slow down!" I chastise but he ignores me, his grip on my hand tightening as he continued to run in front of me.

He looked behind him, a big grin plastered on his face still while his green eyes shone in enthusiasm. "I can't!" he says before I laugh, letting him tug me along as we got strange looks from people all around us, probably wondering what two people were doing running down the streets like this.

As we neared the harbor, Harry slowed down, both of us coming to a walk as we took deep breaths, trying to gain the air we lost. "I'm out of shape." I mutter and Harry chuckles, an amused look on his face.

"You would think after everything we've been through, you wouldn't be." he teases and I shoot him a glare, but that just makes him chuckle even more. "Whatever." I say with a roll of my eyes as we continue walking towards the massive ship.

The deep, shiny brown wood really stood out as it towered in the harbor, making all the other ships there seem puny and less significant. The massive white sails stretched out magnificently, the wind catching the sails and blowing them back and forth.

Harry looked both thrilled yet amazed at the same time, his feet slowly going forward as he walked towards the ship. I followed behind him, both of us going up the wooden bridge connecting the ship to the shore. Whenever we got up onto the deck, I couldn't help but look around, admiring how stunning this ship was.

"It's so..." Harry trails off, and I nod my head. "Beautiful." I whisper and he smiles. "Its our new ship." he says, stroking the railing and seeing the polished wood up close, while I walked around the deck, seeing the features it had.

Harry's hand grabbed mine and I let out a startled yelp as he dragged me towards the door. He opened it eagerly, leading me inside as we both sucked in a deep breath. It was the Captain's quarters, yet it was so much better than the old one Harry had. It was bigger, had more space, yet it had a large desk and a chair behind it.

"This is great." he says and starts walking around, pulling me behind him as he comes to another door, the smirk on his face only meaning one thing: it must be the bedroom.

He opens up the inner door, leading us inside to see the bedroom. It was massive as well, a large bed with red covers while a desk rested beside it, a mirror on the wall and another door to the left that I assumed led to a bathroom.

"It's perfect." Harry says and I smile. "If only there was a shower." I say and he laughs at me, but just shakes his head at me.

"Don't be such a baby." he teases and I nudge him with my shoulder. "Sorry, I don't really fancy smelling awful all the time." I say and he just puts an arm around me. "You never smell awful to me." he murmurs and I giggle, trying to ignore the small blush on my face. What an unusual compliment that is.

After a short while, Harry and I leave the Captain's quarters, both of us smiling ear to ear as we surveyed the rest of the boat. "What are you going to call it?" I ask and he thinks it over, trying to think of a good name.

"Well, it is our ship..." he murmurs before snapping his fingers together, a smile coming to his face. "I've got it!" he says and I turn to him, eagerly waiting for him to tell me what he thought of.

"The Belladonna." Harry says and I raise an eyebrow at him. "My name is in it?" I ask and he nods his head. "Belladonna means beautiful woman, yet it's a deadly poison as well. Fitting, don't you think?" he asks and I laugh.

"It looks welcoming on the outside, but if you step onto our ship, we'll kill you like poison would." I say and he nods to me. "Exactly! I think it's perfect." he says and I giggle.

A thought comes to mind and my smile disappears. "What's wrong?" Harry asks, looking at me concerned and I let out a sigh. "My mother, what is she going to say about this?" I ask and his lips turn down in a frown, his shoulders sinking.

"Do you think she'll approve of this?" he asks and I shrug. "I don't know. I hope so. Even if she doesn't, I'll come with you." I say and he laugsh, nodding his head to me.

"Sounds like a good plan, my dear." he says, and with that, we get off of The Belladonna, leaving to go towards my house. Harry lets my hand go, stopping a few feet behind me. I turn to him, a confused look on my face as he gives me an innocent smile.

"What's wrong?" I ask, mimicking what he asked me moments ago, and he just smirks. "If we're going to be casting off soon, I'm going to need a crew. I'll gather up the other boys and we'll go to the pub at the end of the street. While we're there, we'll find some men who'll join us." Harry says and I nod to him.

"I'll go with you." I say but he shakes his head at me, making me frown. "Go talk to your mother now. It'll be better if I'm not there, just in case I don't have her approval." he says with a chuckle and I slightly smile at him.

"If you show up to the pub, it'll mean that you can come. If you don't, then I guess...I'll move on." He says with a whisper and I nod to him, determination set into my eyes.

"I will be coming." I say to him fiercely and he smiles at me. "Well then, until we meet again, my fair lady." Harry says with a bow and I giggle, faking a curtsy since I didn't have a dress. "Thank you, good sir." I say and we both stand there, smiling at one another.

This could be the last time I see him, depending on how my mother reacts. The thought of that made me sad, but I didn't want him to see that. Although, I knew I wasn't the only one who was thinking this. I could see the sadness and uncertainty dancing in his eyes, making my heart sink.

"Goodbye, Bella." he whispers, turning around to leave when I clench my fists together, running to him and grabbing his hand, making him turn around to look at me confused, but his confusion quickly turned to shock as I leaned up and kissed him on the mouth.

He responded quickly, wrapping his arms around my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck. We stayed like that for a little bit, enjoying the love and happiness we shared within our kiss. I pulled away, smiling up at the man I'd fallen in love with, who was smiling back at me in the same loving way.

"Goodbye Harry." I whisper and he releases me, a happy look shining in his eyes. "May fate be for us, and not against us." he says and I nod my head, my heart beating fast as he gives me one last smile, turning around and walking away from me.

"I love you." I say and he looks over his shoulder, a smirk on his face. "I love you too." he says before continuing to walk away, making me feel alone in the street as the back of his head disappeared into the crowd.

With a sigh, I turn around, starting my walk towards my house, hoping with every single fiber within me that my mother would let me go with Harry. If not...I honestly don't know what I would do.

As I reached my doors, I took a deep breath, my heart pounding in my chest as I knocked on the doors, my body slightly shaking as I heard it click, the doors swinging wide as I was met with the familiar face.

"Mother...we need to talk."
