Drabble: 'Unwise' (J/E implied - PG)

[dwgm]

150 words for the 'Fall' prompt...



~ Unwise ~


There are other blokes in the next cell, so wearing the mask is a necessity. Lounging, hat tipped forward. Jack's all too familiar with lock-ups. He can be a patient man at need, but damnation he hates being detained, and for a chit of a girl at that.

Chit of a girl.

Who d'you think you're fooling, mate?

The governor's daughter, he’d known that going in, those lobsters having said as much, but there hadn't been time for more. When he'd seen her there on the seabed, the thought had flashed, Beauty's self she is… and then, waking... protesting… defending! Lord, how he'd enjoyed the feel of her, slender and quivering with rage at his effrontery in chaining her.

Jack shifts, easing himself a trifle, and frowns.

It won't do.

Unless Lady Luck conspires in his favor.

Stranger things have happened.

And Jack can be a patient man, at need.

Stranger things have happened indeed, particularly if you're Jack Sparrow :-)

Wonderful rendition of one of my favorite images from CotBP - Jack and that sinful smirk, the tipped hat, the gleam of his gold.

*sigh*

Loved this, loved that last line ♥

Jack's certainly learned that patience pays off. How we all adore the Jack we see in CotBP because of his patience and optimism, his humor and determination. He was truly inspirational for so many of us.

I'm very glad this pleased you! Thank you for reading and commenting.
