Another Day (Jack Sparrow)

[Amelia Flint]

I wiped the salty sweat from my forehead and tucked strand of my blonde hair behind my ears, but they'd always fall back down, my hair was in a messy bun today, it was always in a bun, I hated wearing my hiar down it reminded me so much of my life when I was younger, when I was a contess. I had been at my chores all day, and my hands even though I had been here for some years still got sore and my fingertips would dry and crack. Plus it didn't help when I had to clean up messes that was more filthy then the sea itself.

I scrubbed harder at the wooden floor trying to get out red whiskey that had been dropped on the floor the night before, it smeeled horrible and the red started to stain my fingers. I gave a frustrated sigh and sat up resting on my knees, I gave a groan and looked at the rag that had once been white, now was black and red, I wrinkled my nose in disgust, and blew upwards attemping to get a piece of hair that was infront of my eyes. I shook my head and crouched back down, scrubbing, it was my job, my life.

I walked past a rather packed pub or tavern. I knew that this was the place that Amelia worked in. Seeming as I was in no hurry to get back to the Pearl I thought it would be a nice idea to pop in and speak. I walked in and shuffled through many crowds of people bunched up together. And there she was, Amelia scrubbing the floor per usual. I laughed and poked her on her right shoulder, but I quickly jumped to stand at her left. Hoping that she will turn round and think there is no one there.

I scrubbed as hard as I could to get this stain out before Mr. Mcgrady came over to inspect. I then felt a poke on my right shoulder, I gave a frustrated sigh and looked over it, no one there what the bloody hell. I then rolled my blue eyes and looked over to my left "Jack" I said in a tired voice, pushing myself from the floor I stood and a pain shot threw my back, I ignored it and turned to Jack, I must have looked like a mess.

I tried my best to push blonde strands away from my face, and gave a bright smile to Jack, I felt my pale cheeks get slightly hot. I hesitated then stepped forward giving my friend a hug, I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my chin on his shoulder, he smelled like the sea and I wrinkled my nose at it, but that didn't matter I was just glad to see a familiar face.

"Amelia, great to see you again!" I slightly jumped to her emitade reaction, placing my hands on her back too. I patted her fair hair slightly as it was loose. Uncommon for to see woman with loose hair. I let go and just hoped that she would too...

[Amelia Flint]

I pulled away from Jack "sorry about jumping you there Jack, but you know these days I don't get out to see much" I said feeling slightly embarrased at how bad my life had become. I brushed my hiar aside and gave Jack a smile.

I was in al lhonestly glad to see him, I noticed he looked pretty happy, unlike myself, I gae a frustrated sigh and threw the dirty rag int othe bucket that was on the floor beside me, I heard the innkeeper shout my name, I raised a finger to Jack "one minute" I said and hurried over to the inn keeper, he shoved a tray with mugs on it, I hurried around spreading thme out to drunk men then with a sigh of relief walked back over to Jack "sorry about that, do you want somethig to drink" I asked him, I'd get it for him if he asked too.

Jack and I had been friends for about six months going on seven, he was a good man, and a good pirate, I admit I did have feelings for him but I would never say anything. I wondered what he thought of me, but no doubt he propably already had a woman waiting for him in another port, why would he like me.

((OOC: Like your new sig, very nice ))

"Aye... Rum, you should know me by now that we pirates adore rum, Amelia."
I gave an intrestingly cheeky smile as I reply to her one qustion. I stood by the bucket and the stain on the floor, watching her run around. I began to gaze at her as if my whole world was slowing down just so I could see Amelia. Of course it has been ages since we met, but I never knew that I missed her so much. I gazed at the way she would always push her hair back because it got into her eyes... was I hypnotised?

(( hey thanks, I have a dp to match but I luff the one I got at the moment! XD ))

I nodded when Jack said rum, I should have known, I smirked at him and hurried behind the bar, coming back with a mug I set it at a free table and pulled out a chair for him. It was my break now so I pulled out achair for myself and sat myself down slowly my arm hurt from the work today, I rubbed my elbow but made sure Jack didn't notice, I didn't want him thinking me weak.

I took a sip of the rum I ahd poured myself, it wasn't as muc has I had given Jack, but it suited me just fine. I gave a tired sigh and looked down at the mug between my hands, my hurt hands, I knew I wanted more, but I had the faintest idea of how to get it, and it pained me, my eyes started to sting abi,t no I told myself I'm strong don't do this not now, I fought bac kthe tears as my blue eyes flickered up to Jack, I forced him a faint smile.

I sat down to the offered chair, nodding as she walked round and sat down herself. I could sense that she was uneasy, but knowing me I wouldn't stop and hesitate. "What's bothering ye' love." I grabbed my mug and took a few gulps before placing it back down and leaning forward across the table. I leant my elbow on the table and the other hand aimlessly runnig my finger around the rim of me mug.

[Amelia Flint]

I looked up to him and sighed deeply, I felt weak and stupid and in all honestly did not want to tell him what was bothering me for the past six months. I paused for a moment then said what I wanted to “For the past six months I’ve wanted to leave this place, I want to get out and see the world…I-“ I cut myself off, he must have thought me a stupid woman. I pushed blonde strands from my face, but it was no use and they fell down again. I looked down to the table staring into my still full mug of rum.

[J.ack]

"Go on..." I said, something was definatly bothering her and I was going to get it out of her. Maybe even if it takes me a whole mug full of rum to get it out, I wasn't going to give up. I looked down at my mug and still running finger around the rim, then flicked back up to her as she was sorting out the small strands that bugged her.
