       HOW COULD THEY possibly ever persisted to never eat in entire day?

       I situated behind the stall, not too far from Jack's table. Looked desperate, until my stomach make a dying whale sound and all I got is drooling into a man who's eating his scraps food behind me.

       With only a liquor in whole day? Seriously? I squinted my eyes.

       Of course, we're in the movie for crying out loud...

       I leaned my cheek on my hand in despair. All of a sudden, I noticed Jack walked upon here with a dish. I widened my eyes in relieved. Oh, thank God...

       "Well?" I asked.

       "Quartermaster will be recruiting a crews. We'll have it on morning."

       I pretended to be impressed, "Great!"

       "Well," He lifted his rum, "Fancy a drink?"

       "Food will do, I rather." I retorted. He handed the plate to me.

       I pulled out the plate from his hands and situated back. I have never said a word but start eating. Not complaining if it's leftovers, but heck I'm awfully starving.

       God, I didn't know Tortuga has a great cook...

       Then I stopped for a moment, I whirled around and found he's staring at me.

       Until I recall my manners. "Thank you."

      Jack didn't say a word. I returned eating, but it still awares me he kept staring. When I looked, he pretends to be drinking his rum.

       I blushed. It occurred me to speak again, "You looked famished. You could join with me, you know..."

       I handed him the plate, offered him to eat. "I thought you wouldn't leave me any." He perched behind me and took a bite.

       I grinned, suddenly I looked around. "-Wait, where's Orlando?" I asked.

       "Orlando, who?" He furrowed his brows, "Friend of yours?"

       "-I mean - Mr. Turner." I winced.

       "Don't mind him, he's a bit of a stick. He'll be on the ship now."
