Pirates! (One-on-One)

He pulled away slightly, his eyes piercing.

"I love you."

 

He gave her a small smile before leaning down to kiss her again.

 

He pulled back, his fingers in her hair.

"Okay?"

 

(Yoop!)

 

Jack was fast asleep next to her, his arm around her.

 

He shifted slightly, his eyes fluttering, just in time to hear the doorknob turning.

 

"Av," he whispered frantically. "Av."

The door began to open and he quickly threw the blanket over her.

 

"Person!" he whispered frantically. "Coming in!"

She would hear Natalia's voice.

"Hey, Jack. Who... were you talking to?"

 

"Uh... myself," he said. "Who were you talking to?"

There was a silence, and she could almost hear the confusion.

"No...one? Anyway, here's your baby. I would love to steal her forever, but I have to do some work."

Avice would feel a pressure as Aubrey was set gently on top of her.

"What are you doing in here, anyway? It's almost noon."

"Uh, nothing," he said. "My back was hurting, so I took a nap."

"Mam," Aubrey announced, patting the bed.

 

There was a silence.

"Where is Avice, anyway?" Natalia asked.

"I don't know."

There was another long silence.

"She's under the covers, isn't she?"

"Yes."
