Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.

Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.

Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.

Whence the <ea> I cannot say but some other words that were spelled <ai> in French are spelled <ea> in English: aise → ease, graisse → grease, fait → feat.
