Pirates in Love

Jealousy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We decided to have a party after we left Moldor.

"The party'll start at nine. We gonna get ready by then." Nathan said

"All right!" I said

I am here at the kitchen to help Nathan prepare the food for the party tonight. I started to prepare the food alongside Nathan.

"Hmmm..... You're really good at this" I said

"Well yer really good with yer mouth."

"Hey, I'm not just flattering you! Your food is really, really excellent!" I looked him in the eye.

"Ah... sorry about that. Guess you're pretty empathic." he smiled at me.

Nathan seems unfriendly, but cute when he smiles...

"I think yer gettin' better at cooking." he told me

"Right. Thanks to you! ... Lucky for me it was this ship I was put on when I was in a barrel." I smiled

"Aren't ya lucky fer somethin' else?" he asked

"What?"

"... Ya have a boyfriend, too" he smirked at me

(What? Is he talking about Eduardo?)

"He's... not my boyfriend, is he? Eduardo thinks of me as his sister..." I looked down at the last part

"Then I'll tell ya on his behalf. Yer real dumb, aren't ya?" he said

"D-Dumb...?"

"Yer such a dork that ya don't know if OTHER GUYS will try to STEAL ya." he looked at me

"Steal me?" I know I looked confused now.

"Like this." Nathan said and he suddenly grabbed my chin! Now we're so close...

"... Why are ya blank?" he asked me still holding my chin

"Er... 'Cause, I don't know what you're doing?" I blinked and looked at him in the eye

"Sigh... Heh, that's what yer charming point is, I guess" he smirked slowly letting go of me, but before he could, we heard the door opened and we both looked

"Yo" Eduardo is there, standing by the door. He saw us so close to each other

Nathan quickly let go of my chin.

"Nathan, since when did you change your taste fer women? I thought you weren't interested in kids?" Eduardo smirked

"Hmph... I was just makin' fun of her." Nathan said

Eduardo just stared at Nathan. Then, he looked at me.

"You. I need a hand on the deck. Come." Eduardo turned his back to us and headed to the door.

"Ah, yeah. Ok!" We got outside, Eduardo pulling me by wrist and tugged me away from the kitchen...

"Huh? Didn't you say you need a hand on the deck? Deck is the other way..." I pointed to the other side using my free hand

"Shut up!" He sounded irritated

(Shut up??)

"Wait, Are you.... Jealous?" I asked

He didn't respond. So, I looked into his face.

"Hahaha! Just kidding~!" I smiled at him

"I said shut up! I'll throw ya into the sea." he looked away from me
