Chapter 11

            The time for the evening meal is accompanied with a knock on the door. Before he answers the door, Travis leans down and kisses my cheek. At the door is Steven.

            “The captain has summoned Maria to his cabin for dinner.” Steven repeats. The steward is standing to the side, looking afraid as he did the first night I saw him.

            “Well, then I have to go with her. She is still too weak to walk on her own. She was hit horribly with sea sickness because he wouldn’t let her eat.” Travis says angrily. The steward approaches the door and speaks.

            “He wants her in a dress.”

            “How are we supposed to get her in a dress, Jeffery?” Travis retorts.

            “Don’t ask me fer I don’t know. Don’t shoot the messenger.”

            “Alright, tell him Maria will be down soon. Don’t mention that I will be joining her. Understood?” Travis instructs.

            “Yes Sir.” Jeffery turns away and scurries up the hatch. Travis closes the door behind him. Anger begins to surge into Travis’ eyes.

            “Hell, that b*****d is consistent! He needs to get his damn mind off of you!”

            “Well, how am I supposed to get into a dress when I can’t walk?” Mischief shines in my eyes and an evil smile plays at my lips.

            “I guess I’m going to have to… change your clothes then.” His face takes on the same mischievous look that mine has, grinning at me.

            “Well, I need a dress.”

            “I will be right back. I need to go get all of your frilly girly stuff.” He grins down at me and before he leaves, leans down and kisses my cheek. He shuts the door behind him and I hear noises in the dark. Muffled voices come from the other side of the wall… voices speaking about me!

I think they might be peeking somewhere. Is there a knotty scene coming up?
