Sleep in the Caribbean

, pretending to be a child who did something wrong. "My brother was in pain at the time, and I thought that wine would relieve his pain, so I took some on my own."

"A little?! Hmph, you bathed your brother with rum?!" The old captain obviously didn't buy it, and satirized me mercilessly.

I bowed my head and flinched, but the righteous Tom stepped forward immediately.

"You can't treat a lady like that!" Tom said loudly, "Also, I have to correct you, Captain Cretti, this is my father's ship, and I now take over all the family business." Young and energetic Tom Tit for tat persisted.

"I'm employed by your father, so I have to protect you!"

Old Captain Cretti was indeed very experienced, and his voice was majestic.Although our lies were fairly well-thought-out, my tricks obviously had no effect on the knowledgeable old captain.

"You believe this girl and her unknown man? I don't! You still have a lot to learn, boy. It's time we set sail!"

But his earnest words were obviously inappropriate, which made it difficult for Tom to accept.

Just when they were deadlocked, I felt that I should fight for myself, and I came out of the feeling of being submissive.

"Dear Captain, I can understand your distrust, but look," I pointed to JACK who was resisted by the sailors, I saw him looking up at us secretly, when everyone looked at him, He grinned flatteringly, but didn't show his teeth.I think he also knows that his gold teeth will be the problem at this moment.

"We are responsible, kind sir." He looked at them innocently, but the words coming out of JACK's mouth were really funny, I endured it and regained my state.

"... My brother doesn't have any offensive ability now, and I am a woman, what kind of threat do you think it can pose to you?" I looked directly into Creti's eyes, "If you are still worried, you can monitor us , or even tie us up, and when we land, you will know whether we are friends or foes." Then he smiled at the right time, "I promise, my family will give you your satisfactory remuneration, as well as rum compensation .”

The words I said were prodded, and I believe it was quite convincing.

But I still glanced at Tom worriedly, because my strict and firm remarks might break the weak image I had established before.

But what I saw was Tom's eyes shining on me with surprise and admiration.

I'm having another headache.

"SHIT." Captain Cretti stopped looking at me angrily, "Do you think a lady can say such a thing? Tom?!" But he still gave up arguing and walked into the cabin.I guess that means compromise.

"Blake, you are indeed not an ordinary girl." Tom walked forward, held my hand, and looked at me affectionately, "Don't worry, I will send you home safely..."

It makes my scalp tingle a bit.

"Oh...!" Before Tom could continue, Jack's exaggerated groans came from the side.

"What's the matter? JACK...Brother?!" I was a little nervous, and I immediately threw away Tom and ran to look after him, but I still didn't forget to turn my head and give him a grateful smile.

He is indeed a simple and kind person. If the situation I am in is not like this, I think I should accept his kindness, just maybe.

"I'm fine, honey..." JACK held his head up, his expression of weakness and pain was very realistic.

I even wondered if he was really in pain all the time, and the fact that he was safe and sound before was just a pretense to keep me from worrying.

But then I knew I was wrong, I should never think too well of JACK.

"You seem to be very good at seducing little boys, huh?"

He leaned close to my ear and whispered to me.

I was furious in an instant, but I couldn't attack it.

I really don't know who I am doing these nasty and disgusting things for!

And now he is still making fun of me.

Whether that counts as jealousy or not.

I avoided the eyes of others and squeezed his waist hard.

JACK immediately yelled and looked at me with sad eyes, but couldn't get up.

"I think you need a good rest. Poor brother!"

After all, I followed Tom into the cabin without looking back.

While Tom may have seen us as guests, he seemed alone in the boat.

Except for occasionally looking for two bottles of rum and using the medical facilities on the ship, JACK and I only thought about waiting to go ashore in peace, and then planned to retrieve the Black Pearl.

But for some reason, my previous "beauty trick" turned out to be exceptionally successful, and Tom, the young master, didn't seem to intend to let me go.

"Blake, oh, you are indeed here. It's dinner time, and I want to invite you to enjoy it with me."

Almost every meal time, Tom would rush to my cubicle to find me.And I'm not there naturally, because I have to take care of JACK.

So now, he stormed into JACK's "ward" again and dragged me away.

And the more times, even the most calm JACK began to get impatient, because we hardly had much time to talk.

And I am too embarrassed to decline, after all, Tom is an important medium to keep us on board.

And JACK did get better because of his generosity.

I think Tom doesn't quite believe that the injured Jack is my brother. I can feel that he fully believes in me, but not in Jack.

I was worried that something in my eyes occasionally exposed my ambiguous relationship with JACK.

"Excuse me, Blake, I think your brother... JACK, he doesn't look right at you."

This sentence was beyond my expectation. It was not me but JACK who showed his feet?To be honest, I'm a little happy.

But why I didn't find out myself.

On deck, Tom was chatting with me, and I had to socialize.

"I believe you, yes, you must not have thought about that, but JACK, you know, the culture is different, I heard that Mexicans are very open..." Tom looked a little nervous and shy, which actually looked cute, which I often feel guilty for lying to him.

But this kind of conjecture really makes me dumbfounded.

I responded to him with a shy smile: "You don't have to think so, Mr. Tom, the family relationship between us is unshakable, and we already have marriage contracts." This is a previously improvised script.

"What? You have a fiancé?" Tom, who is actually older than me, often looks more like a younger brother. His nervous expression makes me wonder why a young man with such a successful career and status would do this for him. I fell in love with me because of my hypocritical acting skills.

I couldn't bear it: "No, it's my brother. My future sister-in-law is a beauty. He just treats me like a sister." I tried to be as polite as possible.

I seem to be very good at making up such a serious lie, but the content of the lie still makes me very uncomfortable.

And Tom also breathed a sigh of relief,

Poor Tom, why would he trust others so easily.

He is indeed a nice man, but I really can't stand the serious and suspicious look.

Maybe I'm preconceived.

After dealing with Tom, I learned that I will be able to go ashore tomorrow. I just wanted to go back to the cabin and discuss with JACK what to do next, when someone patted me from behind.

I turned back in agitation, and at the same time I was already holding the small knife hidden in my waist.

"Oh, take it easy, take it easy..."

What I heard was JACK's nonchalant voice.

"Why are you here? You should go back and lie down. If anyone sees us, we'll all be thrown overboard."

After the verbal conversation with Tom just now, I feel how real and comfortable I am with JACK.

"Shh, there's no problem, my dear, they're all sleeping like dead pigs now." JACK raised his orchid finger to his mouth, and said treacherously with blinking eyes.

So the scene where JACK designed to get the sailors drunk appeared before my eyes.

"What are you going to do?" I immediately cooperated with him tacitly and entered the state.

"We don't have the money to pay that bearded man after landing." JACK teased disapprovingly.

Now I seem to see the demeanor that JACK should have.

Maybe it was leaving the small island and returning to the ship, which gave the pirate JACK a sense of belonging, and he became more and more at ease.

Then I'll have to see him show his skills.

Originally, there was still half a day's journey to reach Tom's family's residence in England, but JACK, who was just about to take action, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, which made me feel that things were not that simple.

"It looks like we're going to be in some trouble tonight, my dear." JACK said with a serious expression, frowning.

It was a rare giant storm cloud.

When the bean-heavy raindrops hit the deck, Captain Cretti announced that all sailors would strictly guard their posts to fight against the coming natural disaster.

"Don't worry, Blake, the captain will protect us." On the swaying boat, Tom looked at me worriedly, trying to give me the strength to calm down, but I thought it was him who needed calmness more.

I'm more inclined to rely on myself than rely on others in times of crisis.

The storm finally came, turning day into night.

Looking at the increasing wind, rain and waves outside the window, and listening to the creaking sound of the hull being ravaged by wind and rain, I couldn't help but feel more and more worried.

I originally planned to create a chance to escape tonight, but now the heavens are not good, and it seems that they want to repay our deception and take the whole ship into it.

Looks like we have to get through this storm and do something else
