Enjoy

The sun blazing through his dishevelled apartment was not the only thing that had woken him up today but the ringing of his bedside phone had done the trick as well. Like every night he had drunk himself to sleep and last night he had consumed a bit more than usual in an effort to drown the mind numbing pain of his broken heart that could only be mended by the one person who constantly plagued his dreams, the person whom he had never had such strong feelings for before, the person he had, had a child with but never knew.

He looked at the caller display briefly hoping that it was kate but wishes were never granted in his case but he picked up the phone anyway.

"Hey Claire what's up?" he asked tiredly while rubbing his eyes of the sleep that had formed there.

"Hey jack how are you doing?" she asked her voice dripping with genuine concern for her brother. In response to her question jack just laughed bitterly and felt like telling her everything but he didn't want to involve anyone to deal with his mess because he could barely handle it himself so in the end he just answered her by saying that everything was okay. Although Claire on the other hand seemed less than convinced so she got off the phone with him and went about dialling another number which belonged to another friend of hers.

After jack had gotten off the phone with Claire he went to go check his calendar and as he guessed it, it was Friday which meant that it was that time again, that time to hope and pray that it would finally work and he would be back there again. So with that in mind he quickly washed up while getting out his suitcase out on the way to the bathroom. 15 minutes later he was dressed and ready to go but he was once again stopped by his phone going off and this time he seriously contemplated on ignoring it and just driving on towards to the airport but weirdly something kept on telling him to answer it, so with a sigh he threw his suitcase down to the floor and picked up the phone.

"Hey Claire I told you I'm fine i…"he said in a tired manner but he was suddenly interrupted by a voice on the other line, a voice which made his heart race and swell with hope.

"Jack it's me" the voice said softly with sadness in her voice.

"Kate?" jack managed to utter completely shocked at the fact that she was calling him.

(Half an hour ago)

After Claire had gotten of the phone, she immediately called kate who at first said that she was busy at the moment but Claire demanded her attention because the blonde felt that in some ways, kate needed a stern voice to put her in the right direction because whether kate knew it or not, she was the reason he was like this now so Claire was adamant on making her understand that she needed to do something before it was too late and she would not have a brother anymore.

"Claire I don't think that would be a good idea" kate said trying to push back the tears.

"How the hell can you say that kate, he has a right to know that he has a son. Can you see what this is bloody doing to him, can't you see what your bloody doing to him!!" Claire screamed out in utter frustration at trying to get through to her. In response kate just simply broke down at that point, knowing what Claire was saying was true, he had a right to know about Sammy, he had a right to know about how she felt about him as well because he had said it and shown it to her already. So she took a few minutes to compose herself and decided upon what she was gonna do and a few minutes later she got back on the phone with Claire and told her what she was going to do now.

(End of Flashback)

"Hey jack" kate said with a hint of a smile in her voice, finding the fact that he kept on repeating her name quite amusing.

"Are you okay? Is something wrong?" he asked with genuine concern despite the heartache he was facing at the moment. Kate on the other hand felt like breaking down at witnessing his constant concern over her, he always put her problems before his.

She took a few more minutes to get a hold on her emotions and decide whether she wanted to do this or not, here goes nothing she said to herself before she got back on the phone with jack.

"I was wondering if we could talk, but I don't wanna talk on the phone so can we meet up somewhere?" kate asked in one breath hoping that he wouldn't turn her down although that would be doubtful because he would always be there for her, however jack surprised her with what he said next.

"I'm sorry kate but I've gotta be somewhere" he stressed looking at his watch and then waiting for her to respond.

"Please jack" she pleaded in a last attempt and at first all she could hear was a loud sigh being let out, then an incoherent mumbling and finally after what seemed like days for kate, he got back on the phone with her and said that they could meet at his place in thirty minutes, which should have given him enough time to clean up the mess of his life which happened to play a very pressing theme within his apartment at the moment.

So with her in agreement of his offer, he got around to cleaning his apartment and as he was about halfway into getting it done, there was a knock on the front door and upon looking at his watch, he thought that it would be a bit too soon for her to show up but he answered it anyway unsure as to who was on the other side.

In two strides he was at the front door and upon taking a deep breath in anticipation, he opened it to reveal the one and only….

"Locke?" jack said widening his eyes in shock.

"Hello jack, can I come in I was wondering if we could talk" the elderly bald man asked the wary doctor. Upon their departure from the island, they didn't really part on good terms but even since they were back in the real world, they had weirdly become the best of friends, mainly because they both wanted the same thing.

"Uh now's really not a good time John, but I'll give you a call a little later on" he said about to close his door upon the man but it seemed that what Locke had to say was quite pressing as put his hand on the door to stop him from closing it.

"Jack this is important, I found it" john said with a smile.

"You found it?" jack asked utterly clueless as to what he was going on about.

"The island jack, I found the island." john said his smile now growing wider but jack on the other hand felt unsure as to whether he was truly happy about this, especially now since things between him and kate might have been taking a step forward.

"That's great john" he simply said to a now confused and frowning john.

"Wow!! I thought you would have been more happy about this jack, I mean isn't this what you wanted." locke said utterly confused about his attitude towards the island.

"What can I say john, I just…..I don't think i wanna go back there now because everything I want in life is…"he was about to go on but he was suddenly met with a beautiful vision standing behind Locke at his doorstep. Even though it had been three years since they had been rescued from the island, she still looked as beautiful as the day he first saw her emerging from the clearing on the day they had crashed.

"Here" he simply said with a face cracking smile looking at her confused expression but Locke on the other hand knew exactly what he meant and he just politely excused himself from the two people, not before telling jack that he would be leaving tonight and that if he changed his mind then he could come along with him and with that the man left leaving jack to seriously think about his offer, but as he looked at the beautiful angel standing right in front of him, all thoughts literally went out of the window.

"Hey you okay?" kate said with a slight smile snapping jack out of his thoughts….of her once again.

"Yeah yeah I'm good wanna come in" jack asked stuttering like a little boy but kate thought it was utterly cute to see him behaving in this way. In response she just gave him one of her dazzling smiles and sub- consciously brushed past him and the slight contact of her body on his was enough to make him close his eyes and silently moan at how it use to feel, especially when they were making love.

"Wow memory lane huh" kate said as she walked in and observed the all familiar surroundings of his apartment.

"Yeah we really did have some good times here huh" jack said with a smile but his gaze was intently focused on hers and she knew exactly what he meant but as much as she wanted to just simply throw herself into his arms and hide away from the rest of the world, she knew that things between them were a lot more complicated than that. So she simply closed her eyes, counting to five in her head and once she was done she opened her eyes, ready to face the music.

"Look jack I came here because I wanted to help you through this, I wanna be here as your friend through this" she said with a hint of sadness making jack hang his head down in response because the last thing he needed was another friend, especially kate, because in his heart he truly believed that they were never just friends, it was an instant connection from the start.

For the next few minutes he simply kept his head hung trying to suppress the gathering tears that screamed to be let out but he couldn't let her see him in this way so he forced them back and focused his gaze upon her once again and simply nodded sadly in response and then muttered a whatever while walking off to pack the last of his things. If she wanted to play it this way then fine he bitterly thought to himself.

Kate on the other hand was a little pissed by the way he was behaving and she decided to follow him to confront him about it. Without feeling any unease whatsoever she followed him into his bedroom and was suddenly met with the sight of his packed suitcase ready to go along with wherever he was going and she had a pretty good guess as to where he was going.

"Your going back there aren't you" she said grasping hold of his arm and forcing her to look at him and in response he just ripped his arm out of hers a little roughly than intended and went back to what he was doing while responding by saying….

"Well there's nothing keeping me here kate so what's it to you" he said hatefully.

"How the hell can you say something like that jack, you have people here that love you and care about you and your just willing to throw all of that away just to go back to some god forsaken island" she screamed at him, the tears of hurt and betrayal threatening at her eyes. In response jack just looked at her face, showing her through his tear filled eyes what he wanted to show, the anger, the hurt, the love, all in one single look and it suddenly became too overwhelming for her so she simply just leaned forward and sealed his lips with a surprising kiss that did catch him off guard at first but as her tongue probed at his lips begging for entrance, he immediately obliged by opening his mouth with a gaspful moan and then wrapping his arms around her, bringing her closer to him to feel all of her.

Things from there on had taken on a bit of a lustful tone as jack briefly broke away from her to remove the top she was wearing, then moaning at the fact that she wasn't wearing a bra underneath it, and in response kate just took hold of the sides of his plaid shirt and lifted it off him, not even caring about the buttons that popped off while this was happening and jack couldn't seem to care as well because all he could think about was her. Within seconds of that happening she was back in his arms again and he slowly inched them towards his bed and then pushed her slowly onto it while pushing his suitcase out of the way. Once he was on top of her, he pulled away once again and gazed at her green emerald eyes, getting lost in her beauty once again.

"Are you sure about this kate, because I don't want this, us, to just be about the sex" he stressed keeping a deep sense of focus on her eyes to make her understand that he was dead serious about what he was asking of her. He wanted the whole package with her.

For a few more minutes she just thought of what she actually wanted but as she briefly gazed into his brown and hopeful eyes, she saw everything she wanted within that single look and with that she simply grasped the sides of his face with her trembling hands and when she was inches away from his face, she whispered saying…..

"I've never been more surer of anything in my life. Ever since that night on the island, ever since the first time we made love, I've never stopped thinking about you. The biggest regret I made was walking away from this, from us. I love you jack." she said in one hurried breath, the tears continuously falling down the path of her golden brown skinned cheeks but as they fell, they were kissed away and gradually soothed by jack's lips. He literally couldn't believe what he was hearing but in his heart he couldn't be happier at the fact that she was finally requiting what he felt for her all this time and it was the best feeling in the world, so with that he looked into her eyes one more time and simply responded by saying those three words to her with the utmost emotion and then he lowered his lips to her waiting skin, gradually inching his way down right from her moaning lips to the most inner secrets of her desire that longed to be caressed and touched by him so he did just that and more.

He first nuzzled her clothed center and with one more reassuring look shared with her, he gently undid the buttons of her trousers and pulled them down, slowly uncovering a pair of black panties that he literally itched to rip off with his teeth but in the end he restrained himself and just took it off slowly and gently kissed the sensitive skin once it was uncovered, the tickling of his beard making kate smile and moan in response. He then moved lower, right to her crease and started to lubricate the outer rimming with his tongue and then without no warning whatsoever, he plunged himself inside her and the powerful sensation caused kate to literally arch herself off the bed and run her hands through his slightly overgrown hair, revelling of what he was doing to her and within minutes she already started to feel the beginnings of her release upon her and without no warning whatsoever to him or her she suddenly came hard and fast into his waiting and hungry mouth, him greedily lapping up her release and loving the feel and taste of it on his tongue. After he made sure she was done, he brought his mouth away from her center, not before placing one last kiss there and with that he moved to fully undress himself, receiving a lustrous moan of appreciation from her as he was doing so. Once he was done he simply hovered his revved up body above hers and before he made any form of contact, he gently lowered his face to hers, firstly nuzzling his nose against the side of her face lovingly and then he caught her lips while lowering himself onto and into her gradually, burying his now thickening and glistening length into her right up to the core, him feeling the all familiar sensation of her tight walls accommodating and caressing him in the way she only knew how.

"Oh god jack!! move! Move within me! Claim me. Make me yours again" she moaned grasping his head with the tips of her fingers and bringing him to lie even closer to her. In response he just grasped her tighter and thrust up deeper within her while whispering into her ear saying…

"You were always mine kate" he simply said and with that his thrusts started to get deeper and more forceful and in response kate started to arch more into him while searching for his lips to feel him in every way when she orgasmed, hopefully with him. To her utter ounce of good luck as his thrusts quickened, she started to feel him swell even further, which clearly suggested to her that he was close, so she started to stroke him all over and as her hands made contact with his face, he turned his face to the side and sucked one of her fingers into his mouth and oddly enough kate found the sight extremely arousing and with a few more thrusts they both came, spilling themselves into another, their bodies moulding together and their hearts beating as one, the sound of it soothing them into a deep and blissful sleep of promise and commitment.

So there it is guys and next chapter jack finds out something and how will he react to it?? So what do you think guys?
