78 Unclench!

I covered my ears as Baron walked next to me. The irritable sound of Johannes's voice taunting me bothered the fuck out of me.

Initially I had thought of using Baron, Weston, and Francois's piracy skills in order to take over Johannes's ship and save the passengers. But after considering the repercussions in history of my actions I've decided against it. The least I could do though is discipline this asshole so that he could treat them better.

Ever since I came out of that room this asshole's been barking like a mother fucking dog. I turned and walked hurriedly up to him as I pulled his collar to bring his face closer to mine.

"Shut the fuck up before I punch all of the teeth out of your stinky breathed mouth!"

I then pushed him back as I walked next to Baron. Baron was smiling the whole time as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

Wait.

Dude where do you think that you're touching?

I pinched the skin between Baron's thumb and index finger. He winced and took his arm off my waist. I smiled as he pouted. We then reached the end of the corridor of the second level. The second level had a canteen, the guest quarters, the crew members quarters, and the slave owners' quarters. The wood aesthetic matched that of a mid 16th century ship after all.

Another thing that bothered me was how hot it was in the room with slaves. That's when I realized it. The room was right next to the boiler room. Of course all of the heat would be transferred into the room. Johannes hummed classical music as he walked behind us. At times his childish behavior scares me more than his anger. Because during this rate of his, the man turns crazy.

I looked up to see Baron looking at me. He quickly turned his face as the tips of his ears reddened. I slapped my forehead. Jesus Christ I must look like some mummy right now. My whole body was wrapped in bandages.

Bandages.

Body.

.....

HOLY FUCK I WAS PRACTICALLY NAKED UNDER THESE LOOSE BANDAGES! I NEED A FUCKING DRESS OR BLOUSE OR SOME SORT OF SHIT RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

No wonder Baron looked so bashful! My breasts were practically hanging out and waving to all who passed me!

I turned and grabbed a handful of Johannes's hair as I pulled his head down.

"Ow, ow, ow! Why the hell are you so violent all the time Mila?!

I glared at him as I dragged him back towards his room. My face flushed. Damn it, this evil man's hair was really soft. It felt like silk. Even if I had all of the hair product in the word nothing could control my unruly hair. Trust me I've tried. Johannes chuckled as he said.

"Oh my dear Mila, sure is brazen. She's taking me to my room. I'm sorry dear but I only do it in the night and in the dark."

I smacked the top of his head with my other hand.

Johannes rubbed his head before he looked up at my chest. He squinted as he said.

"Woah. They're actually bigger than I thought that they would be."

I dragged a teary Johannes as two bumps rose on his head from my hits. Baron followed closely behind with his melodic laughter filling the empty corridor. I then opened the wooden door and threw Johannes in his room. I then said.

"Get me a shirt you little bitch. I'll be waiting outside."

Johannes smirked before I closed the door and leaned on the wall next to Baron. A solemn look on his face.

The silence between us felt heavy as it filled the space. Despite us being only a couple of inches away from each other, it felt like we were miles apart. I sighed. It felt like there was so much that we had to tell each other yet neither of us said a word.

Baron then sighed before he said softly.

"Mila. Why did you accept the lashings yesterday? Johannes didn't seem like her would beat you especially after how you've managed to get his attention."

Baron's voice seemed to get louder and louder with every passing word. Was it just me or was he mad?

"I understand that, but as a human being I couldn't let five children get hit just because of the color of their skin. I highly doubt that he would have spared the children if I asked. Even if I did catch his attention. You don't know how sick this man is."

"Oh and you do Mila?"

I pursed my lips. Since when has shit been this tense between us.

"I'm sorry if I made you and Zarfia worry."

"You always do this type of shit Mila. You tend to throw yourself at the most dangerous situations. It's like you have no conscientiousness about the consequences of your actions. You never seem to put in mind that there are actually people who care bout you. People who want you to depend on them."

Baron then leaned in and brought his face really close to mine. His gray eyes sparkling as they dropped to my lips.

"People who even love-"

"Here is the outfit my dear Mila! It's a dress from my sister. I tend to keep it around just in case I sleep with a woman on land and I rip her dress to pieces-Why are the two of you blushing like school girls?"

Me and Baron has our backs to each other as we covered out blushing cheeks. Johannes looked at the two of us before smiling and handing me the dress.

"Here you go dear, just slip it on-"

"Slip it on your ass mother fucker! I'm going in your room to change! Don't peep or else my fingers will be the last thing that you see!"

I ran into the room with the dress in my hand and slammed the door shut behind me. I then slid down the wall and sat on the ground. I buried my face in the dress as my face warmed.

Jesus Christ what the duck was Baron going to do? And why did he mean by people who "love you"? He has called me wife and said sappy words before. But this was the first time that I actually felt my heart flutter.

Have I actually fallen for Baron?
