Gabriella held a hand to her side as she slowly crept to the door of her room. Her cut had been cleaned up and roughly stitched. Jack had been extremely protective of her, and it was starting to bother her.

He hadn't let her leave her room, or do any work around the ship, he had even sent one of the crew to go down and bring her food. She couldn't take it anymore!

She slowly turned the knob of the door and crept out onto the deck of the ship. It was night and the crescent moon was high in the sky.

None of the crew was out on deck, not even Jack.

Gabriella slowly stepped through the mess of barrels and ropes on deck and made her way over to the side of the ship. She leaned over and looked down into the now black waves beating against the side of the ship.

She sighed and leaned against the railing. She loved being out in the open ocean, and away from Tortuga.

She stopped breathing for a moment as she heard the sound of footsteps from behind her. "Shouldn't you be in bed love?"

Gabriella slowly turned around and grinned at Jack. "Uh…well Jack, I really needed some fresh air," she said tilting her head to one side.

Jack sighed. "I suppose I can live wiv' that" he said shrugging before walking over to the railing of the ship. Gabriella turned back around and also leaned against the railing.

"You know, it's been lonely" Said Gabriella looking over at Jack. ", in Tortuga…" Jack nodded slowly.

"I can imagine in would be,"

Gabriella sighed again, and looked back out to the ocean.

"You know-" she was about to say "you know, I love this ship" but what happened when she turned to face him again made it impossible to speak anymore.

When she turned to face Jack he had been only inches away from her face. I'm sure you can all guess what he did.

Jack pressed his lips against hers closing his eye's and turning to face her.

Gabriella stood there for a moment, her eye's wide and her arms held loose to her side. But slowly she closed her own eyes and rapped her arms around his neck.

Jack rapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in closer, making there kiss deeper. Gabriella couldn't stop the feeling of passion and flame in that one kiss. It felt as if it lasted an eternity, but when it was over, felt as if it as if it had only been a moment.

Gabriella was the first to pull away and Jack chased her lips with his own. Gabriella looked up at him. "Jack I…" She trailed off and just looked up at him. "That's was nice" she said with a smile, it was all she could really think of to say.

"Yeah…nice" said Jack, not only his lips, but also his eye's seeming to smile down at her.

A/N- its short and sweet! Oh yeah! I mean, you knew it was coming, why make you poor soals wait any longer?
