Thanks you for your reviews! I´m glad you liked it. And, lostfox, unfortunately, your intuition was right, Juliet will meddle between them. But, we all know Jate is Fate, so…Don´t worry, be happy. 

CHAPTER 2

In the jungle… Jack is just coming back from the beach, satisfied about himself for finally asking her. Juliet catches up with him.

˝Hey, there, stranger. ˝she says, stepping out on his way.

˝Oh, hey, Juliet! I didn´t see you coming. ˝he replies absent-mindedly, still thinking about what´s just happened with him and Kate.

˝Is there any special reason for you to be this happy or? ˝

˝As a matter of fact, there is. ˝he says; then see the curious look on her face. ˝ But, I would like to keep it for myself for now, if you don´t mind. ˝

˝Fine. ˝

˝So, Juliet, what did you need? ˝

˝Oh, I was wondering…Would you like to go swimming with me later? Let´s say… around 9…˝

˝Oh…. I´m flattered, but… I already have something planned with…˝he starts, lowering his voice. ˝… with Kate. ˝

Juliet stays speechless for a while. She saw that there was something going on between Jack and that woman, but wants doctor for herself. And usually, when she wanted something, she would get it!

˝Jack, I…Are you sure this is a good idea? ˝she started, determined not to let Kate win this one.

˝What do you mean? ˝he asked, visible confused.

˝It´s just… She is a criminal, Jack. ˝

He looks at her, wondering how she knows that.

˝I was a cop. ˝she explains quickly.

˝Oh… You didn´t mentioned it before. ˝

˝Well, I didn´t have a reason to. ˝

˝And now you have? ˝he asks, starting to become annoyed by her presence.

˝I think she´s dangerous. I just don´t want anything happen to you. ˝she replies, coming nearer to him.

˝Juliet, listen… I know she´s done something in her past, I know she´s been escorted by the marshal, but…we all got a second chance here, we...˝

˝Did she tell you what she did? ˝Juliet asked, ready to use every method she can.

˝No, but… ˝

˝I thought so. She´s dangerous, Jack. She… ˝

˝I don´t care…˝

˝You´re not thinking straight! She might seem nice and all but…˝she pauses a bit, trying to find the right words. ˝A tiger doesn´t change its stripes, Jack. ˝

Jack´s have had enough.

˝That´s enough! I´m sick of it! I´m sick of everyone telling me what to do with my life! With my feelings! I know Kate; she would never do anything to hurt anybody, at least not intentionally! So, why don´t you give up and leave me alone! ˝

He turns around and starts leaving. Juliet knows that it´s ´now or never´ moment. If she doesn´t do it…

˝SHE BLEW UP HER FATHER! ˝

Jack stops, paralyzed. He slowly turns towards her.

˝WHAT! ˝
