Hey! This is just something I wrote for a thread on another Lost site, so it doesn´t have a form of usual fanfiction. It´s more like a script for a scene, but I hope you´ll love it anyway. I thought about longer it into a fic, but don´t have time for that, so...here it is:
Juliet and Sawyer are inside his tent, talking. She is trying to get the information about Jack from him.
Juliet: So…What can you tell me about Jack? You know, is he…
Sawyer: Jacko? No way, Lolita. There´s no way you could make your move on our beloved Doc.
Juliet: You don´t know what I´m capable of.
Sawyer sarcastically: I´m beginning to find out. But, it ain´t gonna work. Forget it. He´s too much into Kate for taking attention on anyone else.
Juliet: Is he?
Sawyer: Trust me. I´ve spent half of past two months trying to keep them apart. It didn´t work.
Juliet bitterly: I wonder what he sees in her. She´s…usual, kinda boring actually. She couldn´t measure with me, obviously.
Sawyer: Ha.
Juliet: Excuse me?
Sawyer: Nothing. I´m just taking in what you´ve just said.
Juliet: What! Trust me; I know her type of woman.
Sawyer: Really? And which one is it?
Juliet: White trash mother, drunk father, she´s all vulnerable…blab, blab…life made her become criminal…now she tries got up with the hero…Her sort of woman usually finishes as…
Sawyer threatengly: I ´d advise you not to finish that thought! And…you were right: Freckles can´t measure with you. She´s waaay too better.
Juliet: I see she got you, too.
Sawyer frowns: Leave. Now. And just one thing…He catches her roughly for her arm. Leave them alone. She deserved to be happy.
Juliet frees herself from his grasp: Don´t tell me what to do. Remember this: If I want Jack, I´ll get Jack.
She leaves.
Inside the hatch. Jack´s on the button duty. Juliet enters, her shirt half unbuttoned.
Juliet sweetly: Hey, Jack.
Jack tiredly: Hey, Juliet.
She approaches him, and starts stroking his arm.
Juliet: It´s hot it here, don´t you think so?
Jack: Uuhm…What are you doing here? I thought it was Charlie´s turn.
Juliet: It was. But I offered instead of him. Thought I could make you…she leans forward, practically whispering in his ear…company.
Jack pushes her away; coldly: I don´t need company.
Juliet frowning her lips: You sure?
Jack raising his arms: You need to stop it, Juliet. It has become too much. I tried to ignore it, but it seems it didn´t work. So, I´m gonna tell you this just this time: I love Kate, I loved her since our first day here and nothing you say or do can´t change that. Did I make myself clear?
Juliet fuming: Perfectly.
She hears Kate´s voice outside; then throws herself at Jack, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and pressing her lips on his.
Jack: What the h…
He sees Kate, who just stares at the two of them, then leaves.
Jack: Kate…KATE!
But she´s already gone.
Jack: W…What! WHY?
Juliet puts her finger on his lips: If I can´t have you, neither will she.
She leaves. Jack looks stunned.
In the jungle. Kate is running, hurt, barely aware of where she´s going. She bumps into Sawyer.
Sawyer: Whoa, Freckles, you need to slow a bit! He sees tears in her eyes. Freckles? What happened?
Kate: Nothing, just…just…
Sawyer: It´s that Juliet, is it?
Kate nods.
Sawyer: That bitch! He puts hands on her waist. What did she do?
Kate between sobs: I don´t wanna talk about it. I…I need to go. I can´t stand spending the day on this beach...
Sawyer concerned: You´ll be okay, Freckles?
Kate: Yeah. Just…just don´t tell Jack you saw me.
Sawyer: You sure about that?
She nods.
Sawyer: Okay then. Keep safe.
He wipes away the tear from her cheek; then leaves.
Sawyer sits outside his tent, reading the book. Juliet is standing some 8m away, looking satisfied. Jack storms in.
Jack: You saw Kate?
Sawyer: What if I did?
Jack: Where is she?
Sawyer: I don´t think you deserved to know that, Doc!
Jack shouting: I NEED to talk to her!
Sawyer: Well, you should´ve thought about that before making out with The Queen of the Night there! He shouted back, pointing at Juliet
Jack: I didn´t make out with her!
Sawyer: That´s not what I heard, Jackass!
Jack: She kissed me! I couldn´t do anything! By the time I realized what was going on, she…he breaks down, letting himself fall in the sand, feeling helpless. …Kate gone.
Sawyer watching him suspiciously It really happened like that, Doc?
Jack desperately: Yes. I swear.
Sawyer studying Jack silently for a few seconds: She went that way. He pointed at the little path that leads into the jungle.
Jack recognized the path immediately. It led to the place when they first kissed.
Jack he got up; nodded at Sawyer: Thanks, Sawyer.
Sawyer: Don´t expect me to get you out of this next time!
Jack firmly: There won´t be next time.
He passes next to Juliet.
Jack: Hey, Juliet! She turns. Your kissing isn´t as near as good as hers.
Half an hour later. He finds her sitting on a stump. She hears him, but doesn´t move. She isn´t crying anymore.
Jack: Kate…
Kate: Go away!
Jack gently; placing his hand on her shoulder: Kate…
Kate jumping up and pushing his hand away: I said – GO AWAY!
Jack: You don´t understand. You saw it all wrong!
Kate shouting: Oh, really? What I saw is her TOUNGE tucked into YOUR mouth! How wrong could I get it!
She turns to leave, but he grabs her and pulls her closer to him.
Jack: You know that´s not true!
Kate struggling to free herself from his hug: Let go of me!
Jack: Kate…You know I´m not that kind of a guy. Encouraged by seeing that she started to calm a bit, he continues.…You know I wouldn´t do that to you. Even contrary – minute before it all happened I told her to stop it: to stop coming on at me, to stop chasing me… He sees that she calmed now, so he releases her arms…Okay?
Kate: What else?
Jack: What?
Kate: What else did you tell her?
Jack revealed because he feels that this is going to end well: I told her that I loved you and that nothing she said or did could change that, because I fell in love with you the moment I saw you.
Kate playing with upper buttons of his shirt: You…you did?…Fell in love…then?
Jack smiling; quietly: Yeah, I did.
Kate smiles, then lifts her head and their lips meet. They´re kissing softly, no tongues yet.
Jack between kisses; smiling: And I told her you kiss better!
Kate laughs.
Kate: Don´t you try flatter me now!
He leans her gently on the ground, they start making out. He tries to deepen their kiss, but she doesn´t let him, keeping her teeth pressed. He stops, raises his head and looks at her questioningly.
Kate amused: Easy, boy, I´m still mad at you!
He leans again and presses his lips on hers. They continue to play that game, but Kate seems determined not to give up. While they make out, Jack manages unnoticed to unbutton her jeans. Not breaking up the kiss, he draws his hand inside her jeans. She moans, which gives him the opportunity to break through her teeth. He smiles, proud of himself.
Kate breaking out for the air: Now, that was not fair!
Jack: All is fair in love and war, hon´! Then he takes her face in his hands and looks her straight into eyes.…And, Kate…Back then when I said that…He kisses her gently, then returns to lock their eyes again.… I didn´t flatter!
Kate smiles. He leans forward for a kiss….
Few hours later. Juliet is sitting alone on the beach – everyone found out what she did and they separated from her. We see Sawyer sitting nearby. Jack and Kate are coming back from the jungle; his hand around her waist; smiling. Juliet looks at them with her jaws wide open.
Kate tossing her the key of the hatch: Hey, Juliet! Do you mind taking care of the button? Jack and I have…well…let´s say it this way – better things to do!
Kate smiles all sweetly, Juliet stands up, fume coming from her ears, Jack laughs, Sawyer gives Kate thumbs up. She smiles. They leave.
Juliet storms off past Sawyer.
Sawyer with widest smirk on his face: What did I tell you, Julie? Never meddle with Jate!
