A Pirate's love

Chapter 115

Angelica woke up later than normal, exhausted from her crying still. It was understandable though, she hadn't stopped.
She felt Jack's arm tighten around her, now realizing it was there.
He pulled himself against her and buried his face in the back of her neck.
"Morning, love." He whispered.
No response.
"What?" He propped himself up to look at her face, but she pulled the covers over her.
Jack got under the covers as well. "You can't hide from Captain Jack Sparrow." He laughed as he once again tried to see her face.
"Do you mind!?" She snapped her head towards him, revealing tear stains outlined by smeared eyeliner, failing to do its waterproof job.
"What's wrong?" He scooted closer and gathered her in his arms.
She didn't respond, but also didn't shy away from Jack's embrace.
"You can tell me, angel." He persuaded.
"My father mentioned some things to me last night and they were very believable, Jack. I'd even say that they might be true." She carelessly let 3 more tears fall.
Jack wiped them away. "Care to pass on these 'things'?" Jack asked.
"He said you were seducing me to gain my trust and bring me to someone for money." She sighed.
"And you believed him?" Jack looked hurt.
"It's not like you to stay with the woman you impregnated, or refuse the opportunity for shillings." She pointed out.
"People change when they're in love." He smiled sadly. "Do you really not trust me though?" He hugged her tighter.
"Jack, you have a reputation and it's not a good one." She explained.
"We're married." He countered.
Angelica sighed, "I'm sorry." She leaded against his chest.
Jack put his chin on her head. "Thank you."
"I love you, mi gorrión." she whispered.
"I love you too, forever and always," He kissed her head. "And just so you know, you're just as beautiful when you smile as when you cry," He said with a smirk.
Angelica reached up and cupped his face, leaving a small kiss on his chapped, sea-worn lips.
Her thumb felt over his rough, porous skin and his scars.
She finally looked into his eyes and smiled. "I trust you."
Jack smiled back. "Thank you." He put his forehead to hers.
Angelica moved to kneel in front of him and put her forehead against him as well. "Always." She whispered.
Jack rolled his forehead down and kissed her sweetly.
After a few minutes, Jack started to deepen the kiss, and Angelica did not stop him. He grabbed her legs that were folded under her and yanked them out from under her.
Angelica gasped and fell back, but laughed as Jack eagerly pulled them to be around his waist and sat her in his lap, chest to chest.
"That's better." He chuckled.
Angelica rolled her eyes as she laughed and kissed him again.
Eventually the couple ended up in bed, Jack on top of Angelica. Although mostly clothed, with the absence of both shirts and Angelica's pants, they were as close as ever.
Neither one of them stopped their smooching for a knock on the door.
"Angelica!" Her father called in a demanding tone.
"Go away!" She called and went back to Jack.
Her father unlocked the door from the outside, but made enough noise to warn Jack as he ducked under the covers and Angelica to hide her nakedness.
Blackbeard opened the door and leaned against the frame. "Jack I know you're here." He frowned.
"Of course you do." Jack popped up from the covers.
"I don't expect to be able to stop you two now that you're married, but please, one child is enough for a couple as irresponsible as you." He insulted.
"I assure you, father, we're responsible." Angelica smiled.
"I assure you, daughter, you are not," He almost shut the door but added: "Angelica I expect to see you in my quarters in an hour." And left
"That gives us an hour then." Angelica whispered in Jack's ear.
"It does, doesn't it." Jack repeated and climbed on top of her again.
