Chapter 6
Gelosia
"No man is worth your tears, and the only one who is will never make you cry."
The rest of the night was peaceful. There were no noises. No nightmares. Just peaceful sleeping. If only the morning could have been quite as nice.
"Mind doin' a bit of explainin' here?" Sawyer broke the silence, glaring at the bed Jack and Kate were in, hoping to wake them up.
"Oh leave them alone, Sawyer." Jessie murmured sleepily, rolling over onto her side. "She had a nightmare. It's not like they did anything. Lighten up."
Sawyer shifted his glare to her, shaking his head slightly. "Don't tell me to lighten up, Sugarpop." he said. "If I were you , I'd shut up and mind my own business."
Jessie sighed, shaking her head. "Just because you're jealous doesn't mean you have to be rude about it." she informed him.
Sawyer frowned even more. "I ain't jealous." he told her. "I just think Freckles deserves someone better than Jack-O." he informed her.
Jessie nodded slightly. "Riiiiight…." she said. "If you say so." She shrugged her shoulders and rolled over so her back was facing him, closing her eyes. He was jealous. It had to be the most obvious thing in the world.
Sawyer already knew how obvious it was he was jealous, though he'd never admit it. Sighing, he shut his eyes, facing the wall. Maybe Kate and Jack were a good couple. That wouldn't stop him from loving her though. He was pretty sure that nothing could stop that. He was silent for a few moments, before he got bored. "I do say so." he informed her. "Freckles deserves someone better than Doc…."
Jessie sighed. She had a feeling she wasn't going to get anymore sleep. Rolling over, she looked at him. "Alright. And how do you get that you're better than Jack?" she asked him, raising her eyebrows.
Sawyer frowned. "Maybe cause I ain't goin' around tryin' to fix every thing that's broken." he replied, tilting his head to the side a bit. "She needs someone who'll care more about her than fixin' things…"
Jessie shrugged. She rolled over slightly and looked over at Jack and Kate, smiling softly. "Looks like he already cares about her a lot." she said, before rolling back over. "Admit it…You're jealous because she's leaning slightly more towards him at the moment…Just like he gets jealous when she's leaning towards you."
Sawyer frowned even more at her. "I ain't jealous…" he said. "I just think that Freckles deserves someone who ain't gonna be constantly tryin' to fix her…She needs someone that'll just accept her for who she is."
Jessie sighed and shook her head, keeping her small smile on her lips. "Whatever you say, Sawyer…Whatever you say…" She rolled over onto her stomach and closed her eyes. "I'm going back to sleep now…Is that okay with you, or are you just goin' to keep talking?"
Sawyer sighed and closed his eyes. He muttered something then shook his head and stayed silent, letting the rest of them sleep. She may have been leaning towards Jack right now, but it never lasted…She always came back to him…Hopefully it would be the same this time.
