Re: Fer a Price [ Spritz ]

[Spritz]

"Roam freely? You mean stay on this horrid ship and work, day and night, and sail to some place I dont even want to go!?" My voice rises. "Sorry. I'm Jacob." I say, blue eyes sparkling in the morning sunshine.

[Guest]

Eve backed up slightly at his sudden temper and balled her fists. "Well I'll have you have nights off, then." She snuffed, glaring at him. "I don't wish to bicker." She sighed. "Now can we please quit this incessant argueing and get along, maybe? We'll be reaching land soon..." she reluctantly continued, "You can leave then if you wish."

[Spritz]

I noticed the reluctance in her voice. "Why should I stay?" I ask softly, my hand trailing through my wet hair, eyes on the scummy ship deck. I waited for her reply.

[Guest]

Eve was a bit surprised by his question, and responded quickly and defensively, "Nothing! There's no reason you should stay! It'd be better if the crew didn't have somebody like you dampening their attitudes!" Eve was about to add something, but decided better of it, and turned on her heel, briskly walking away. Eve would never admit she found him attractive, and she stepped back onto the main deck and returned to the wheel.

[Spritz]

I watch her go, my lips pursed, and eyes watching her every move. Instead of following her, I go to my bunk and lay down, opening my diary.
Today the captain was killed, and someone else took over. A beautiful girl named Eve. I dont think I will ever escape though, as she caught me and hauled me back to the ship. I almost want to stay. I like her personality,exept for the snob, and she is probobly one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.

My pen scribbles on the paper.

[Guest]

It was almost nighttime now, and the sun had sunk low behind the horizon, and she was growing weary. She yawned and rested her head on the wheel, closing her eyes but her almost-dreams were only filled with Jacob, and she managed to shake her head and wake herself up each time, grumbling. "I am not going to sleep if he's all I can think about!" She told herself and hit her head on the wheel.

[ gtg to dinner be back in like 15 or 20 mintues ]

[Spritz]

I dont know. Maybe I should try to talk to her, but that might just get me in the dungeon. I wish she was more- more, I dont know. Easier to talk to, not so demanding and rude. She says that I am to soft to be a pirate, and maybe I am. But I dont really want to be one. I sighed, and put down my pen and paper, and closed my eyes, thinking about Eve. I dont realize it, but I drift off to sleep, all the while thinking about what I could do to win her over.

(kk see you then)

[Guest]

Eventually another shipmate took the wheel frmo her, and she accepted the help and walked downstairs, moaning slightly and rubbing her forehead. She entered her quarters and plopped down on her bed, and subconsciencely fell asleep thinking about Jacob.

[ so short, sorry ]

[Spritz]

When I wake up, the moon shone bright in the windows. I roll out of bed, stuffing my diary in my shirt, and climb the stairs onto the deck. I walk softly over to the railing, and lean over the edge, the moon shining on my black hair. I watch the churning waters and feel the slight rock of the ship. Sailing, yes. I loved sailing. Being a nasty mean pirate, I didnt know about that one.

[Guest]

Eve tossed and turned all night, and ended up getting up and looking out the window of her quarters. She thought about her feelings for him, and it made her angry. No male had ever made her feel that way before, and she didn't like it. Suddenly angry, Eve picked up a skull from on the corner of the captain's desk and chucked it against the wall, creating a loud banging as it clattered to the floor. Eve flinched and hoped nobody would wake up.

[Spritz]

I hear a bang behind me and whirl around, but I dont see anyone. I hurry back to my sleeping quarters, and I didnt notice when my Diary falls from my shirt and falls on the floor by the captains quarters. I rush down the stairs, and into my hammock, staring at the wooden planks of the ship.

[Guest]

Eve heard something fall outside her quarters and opened the door, her eyes falling to the floor where she saw a diary. She cocked an eyebrow and picked it up, flipping through the pages to see surprisingly neat handwriting. Eve stopped on a few select pages and read through them, seeing her name on them. Immediately she shut the diary closed and knew whose it was. Eve slipped from her quarters and knocked on Jacob's door, waiting for him to answer.

[Spritz]

I hear a knock and tentitivly open the door, peering out to see through the blackness. My bright eyes shone in the moonlight, and I could make out the figure of Eve standing there. I imedietly straighen, wondering what she wanted.

[Guest]

Eve smiled a bit when she saw Jacob, hoping he couldn't see the gesture through the darkness. She handed him the book, "I found this... you must've dropped it outside my quarters. I--I guessed it was yours. If it's not, I'll see who else's it could be." She handed him the book tentatively. "Here..." She dropped her gaze to the floor, feeling a bit bad about reading it, but not letting the emotion show across her face.

[Spritz]

My face turns red and I take it, my hand slightly brushing hers in the transaction. "Yeah, thanks mate." I add the mate softly, not jeering this time. I saw her smile a bit in the darkness, and I try to keep myself from melting with embarrasment.

[Guest]

Eve pulled back slightly when she felt his hand brush against hers gently, her cheeks turning a rosy red coloring. She rubbed her arm nervously. "I... Umm..." she stuttered, wanting to hit her head against the wall. "I... I guess I'll see you in the mornin', then..." Eve turned and began to walk away before saying, "Goodnight." With that, she turned and walked hurriedly from his presence and into her quarters, hitting her head against the pillow in embarrassment when she got there, her mind wandering over what he'd said about her in his diary.

[Spritz]

I quickly open the diary and re read what I had written. I smack my hand over my face, embarrased. "Great!" I say, my face burning. I lay on my Hammok but cant fall asleep, thinking about Eve. I sighed, letting the open diary rest on my face.

[Guest]

~~Next Morning~~

When Eve awoke the next morning, she was still warm with embarrassment from last night's encounter with Jacob. She went upstairs and took over the steering wheel just in time to dock the ship. When the ship was docked, she took her time walking down to Jacob's quarters and knocked on the door.

[Spritz]

Already awake, I hear a knock at my door, and expecting a ship mate, open the door without a shirt on. As soon as I see Eve standing there, I shut the door quickly and ruffle through my things, slipping on a shirt and buttoning it crooked. I then open the door again, an emabrrased grin on my face.

[Guest]

Eve opened her mouth slightly and closed her eyes until he opened the door again, when he had a shirt on. She laughed slightly and said, "Sorry, I... I though you were already awake and ready." Eve rubbed her forehead. "We're....we're at the docks." Eve frowned. "I said you can leave now if you wished."

[Spritz]

I laugh, embarrased, then hear her words. "Well, um if its ok with you, I might want to try things out with a new captain-" I say. "I mean, I dont know how you are going to run the ship, but so far its been ok."

[Guest]

Eve smiled. "I'm glad you're willing to give me a chance, then." Eve felt the small wisp of his breath on her face, and her whole body tingled, but she forced herself to turn around with a wave, and as soon as she was not facing him, her face turned a bright red and she climbed the stairs and went up to the deck, wanting to kick herself.

[Spritz]

"Anything you want me to do, Captn?" I call after her, leaning on the door frame.

(Sorry)

[Guest]

Eve looked at him and sighed, then shrugged. "Umm... unless you just wanna come up spend some time with me." Eve felt a bit embarrassed saying the words, but flashed a quick smile and continued walking up the stairs and to the wheel, waiting for the next time they'd set sail.

[Spritz]

I smiled. "I might just do that." I say softly, thinking she couldnt hear. I finish getting dressed, then follow her up the stairs, and walk to the railing, watching the busy port. "Captn, why are we here?"
