----------------------------------------------
"Hey Nik, long time no speak, just thought I'd call you" the woman on the phone sat back and let her deep red hair fall around her shoulders. "Hi Kate, im glad that you called, I just need to vent some anger" Nikki said over the phone, Kate let out a breath and said happily "Oh gossip? Tell me tell me" Nikki laughed and said "remember I was going out with that guy for three year then he goes and dumps me… well I tried to talk to him again and he refused again!" Kate's eyes widened and she replied "Oh My God is he thick? Nik, don't waste your time on him then" Nikki scoffed and said "Honey, once you see this guy you'd want him back, Its his kids I want, he's gorgeous, any kids would be so lucky to get both our genes"
Kate nodded dumbly, forgetting she was on the phone "What's he like?" Nikki purred and replied "Well, tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, gorgeous body and his face is just ohh… Kate seriously and he's just as good in bed, if not better" Kate grinned, she like the sound of him "So what's Casanova's name then?" Nikki sighed and said "Everyone calls him Sawyer" Kate's mouth flew open, she held the phone at her ear, she knew him! "Oh My God Nik! I know him! We almost got it on in the toilets in a bar over a week ago! Damn shame we never… he has a sexy southern accent right?!" Nikki sat up straight and placed her hand on her chest "Seriously, you and Sawyer? What was he doing down there?"
Kate pursed her lips together and said "Oh he said he was leaving, and then a few days later he came into my work and asked for this skank called Kate, seriously I don't know what he wants with her, she's like eww and she has a kid!" Nikki mouth flew open in disgust "What an ass, he doesn't want kids, that's why we broke up! What's this Kate's name?" Kate sighed and said "It's Austen or something" "Kate Austen? KATE FUCKING AUSTEN, that bitch!" Nikki growled. Kate grinned and said "You know her?" she heard Nikki huff and said "yeah, she was in my year in high school, if it wasn't for her getting her grubby hands on Sawyer when he was seventeen, I'd probably got in then and we'd be like married by now or something!"
Kate gasped dramatically "Skank! Well he seemed to want a 'long overdue conversation' with her… know what that's about?" Nikki groaned "probably, she like left without speaking to him and he went apeshit, like once she left he just done whatever he wanted and looked depressed for a while" Kate nodded once again over the phone and said "You think he might want her back?" Nikki huffed and mocked "Maybe, she was like the love of his life back then" Kate hummed and said "Well, if you want I'll make sure that she doesn't want him, then he'll come crawling back to you and you can get your babies!"
Nikki grinned and said "You are Evil! I love it… yeah! But how are you going to manage that?" Kate smiled and said "My dear, I'll find a way, plus there's this guy I know who's like crazy over Austen, so he'll help" Nikki laughed evilly and said "You are one amazing cousin Kate" Kate smirked proudly and said in an 'obviously' tone "Of course I am" they both shared a laugh as they thought over there new plan to get what Nikki wanted.
----------------------------------------------
Kate peeled her eyes open and looked around in confusion, then she remembered what Jaime had told her and obviously she must have fallen asleep. She sat up and looked down at what she was wearing, she was still in last night's clothes Sawyer he must have put her to bed. Kate smiled at his niceness and she swung her legs over and stood up sleepily, stretching her arms above her head, making her back crack and she padded into the living room. Kate smiled as she saw Jaime sitting on the sofa with a bowl of cereal, watching the television. She went over and placed a kiss on top of Jaime's blonde hair "Hi baby, how are you this morning?"
Jaime turned around, smiling, her mouth full of cereal, Kate laughed and sat down beside her, and once she swallowed everything that was in her mouth she said "Im good, what about you?" Kate sat back and shrugged "Okay I guess, what happened last night with Sawyer?" Jaime put the bowl on the floor and turned her body so she was facing Kate, and she said in awe "He is amazing! He told me what happened when he was a little boy, about how kids were mean to him too and he made me smile! Then he tucked me in bed!" Kate smiled widely "That's nice sweetie… so you like him?" Jaime nodded and said "He's amazing mommy"
Kate stroked Jaime's hair and said "Yeah, I like him too" Jaime grinned and looked around before hugging Kate "when will we see him again?" Kate shrugged "I don't know sweetie… but remember Alex asked if you could stay with her tonight because she's babysitting her cousin and would love you to be there" Jaime stared at her, momentarily forgetting about the sleepover, she opened her mouth and said "oh! I have to go get dressed!" she jumped down from the sofa and ran to the bathroom. Kate laughed and followed her inside helping her get ready. Kate packed all the things she needed into her backpack and sat it on the floor.
Alex stood in front of the door to Kate's apartment and knocked happily, she always enjoyed watching after Jaime and she arranged for her to stay because she was having a sleepover and also because there would be another few kids there that they were going to be babysitting. Kate opened the door and smiled "Thank you Alex, I hope you have fun tonight" Alex nodded and said "yeah, is Jaime ready?" Jaime came skipping out with her backpack on and she smiled at Alex "have fun tonight Jai, okay?" her blonde hair flew around the place as she nodded excitedly "bye mommy" she said as she hugged Kate's abdomen, Kate wrapped her arms around her and placed a kiss on her hair "See you tomorrow, and behave!" Jaime rolled her eyes and she smiled sarcastically at Kate, before waving as her and Alex went down the hall towards the stairs.
Kate closed over the door and sat on the sofa, she had a few hours before she had to get ready, some of the people from her work were going out, along with Danny- Aaron's brother and his wife Jenna… and also Sawyer, she had asked him earlier in the week and he said yes. Kate brought her legs up so she was lying down and switched the TV on; she flicked through some of the channels and left it on one of the music channels. She was considering when she should tell Jaime about Sawyer, she seemed to like him and by the sounds of the night before, he likes her and is already acting like a father, tonight would be her final decision, if everything went smoothly, the next time he came around they would tell her the truth.
----------------------------------------------
Kate ran the curling irons through her hair, she had straightened the bottom layers and curled some of the top layers, and all that was left was to put on her makeup. She switched them off and placed them on her windowsill, and she raided through her makeup bag till she found her eyeliner and mascara. Kate carefully applied them and then viewed herself in the mirror, she had used the eyeliner on the inside bottom of her eye and then flicked it out at the corner, joining it with her top lid, she smiled as it looked good on her. She applied some lipgloss and stood back, viewing her outfit, she was wearing a black dress that flattered her figure with a pair of strappy high heels.
Kate had eventually began to wear skirts and dresses a lot of the time, once she was out of her teens she felt more comfortable wearing more feminine clothes and enjoyed how she looked in them. Kate slowly walked out of the room when she heard a knock at the door, she crept up to the door and looked out with a smile, it was Sawyer. She opened the door and let her gaze run over his body as he was doing with her "You look, amazing Sawyer" Sawyer smirked and replied "Likewise sweetheart" Kate giggled and bit her lip, feeling slightly shy at his predatory gaze, she picked up her keys and locked the door, placing them in her purse. "Lets go sassafras" he tilted his head and grin in a cute manner, he bent his arm and extended it towards her, Kate smiled widely and link her arm in his and said "On we go" they walked down outside and got in a taxi, taking them to the club where everyone was.
They stepped into the club and Kate directed them to the booth that some of the people she knew were in. Sawyer stood back and watched Kate greet everyone with hugs and a kiss on the cheek, she looked so happy it made him smile, and she turned around and placed her hand on his arm "Everybody this is Sawyer, Sawyer this is everybody" she smiled up at him, urging him to answer. Sawyer cleared his throat and smile "Uh… Hey" everyone nodded and said hey back. Sawyer leaned over and whispered "Want anything ta drink?" Kate leaned back so she was resting against his chest and she nodded "Yeah, sure uh… surprise me" she smiled at him cutely and he grinned back at her.
The night was filled with dancing, laughing and talking, so far everything was going okay; Kate was being quite close to him as well, small gestures and close dancing made him smile, he really had missed her. At the moment his arms were wrapped around Kate's waist, hers around his neck and they were swaying to the slow music. The music began to get quieter then it finished, the both of them stood still, in the same position, Sawyer grinned down at Kate and whispered "I've gotta pee" Kate scrunched her nose up and grinned "that's the second time you've said that… and it isn't getting any more romantic" her words were starting to slur. Sawyer chuckled and leaned closer to her, whispering seductively in her ear "Don't you worry, it will soon" Kate rolled her eyes and nodded.
Sawyer headed off towards the toilets and his shirt was grabbed before he could go through the door. "Hey sexy, care ta dance?" Sawyer closed his eyes, her high pitched, slurred voice annoyed him- it was the other Kate, who seemed to latch onto him ever since their brief encounter that he wished never happened now. He glanced around at her and said "Naw thanks, just finished dancin" the red headed Kate pouted dramatically and tightened her fists in his shirt as she pulled herself closer to him, trailing her thigh up and down his provocatively. Kate looked over from her place in the booth and frowned, the younger red head was all over Sawyer, again.
It was beginning to annoy her, but from Sawyers bored expression he didn't seem interested in her, Kate smile and glanced away again. She felt someone sit beside her, she turned around and saw Tom smiling at her "Hey Kate, you look beautiful this evening" Kate smiled at him and replied "Thank you, you look good too" Tom blushed and said sweetly "thank you… would you care to dance?" Kate bit her lip in thought, he was a nice guy but she really only wanted to be with Sawyer tonight but his hopeful look made her change her mind "Sure" she smiled and stood up and went with him to the dance floor during a slow song. Tom was grinning like a mad man, he was dancing with the woman who he was infatuated with, holding her close, and he'd show her what it would be like to be with him, he needed it so much.
Sawyer sighed and said gruffly "Sorry Darlin' you'll jus have ta find another person ta dance with" her face flashed anger for a moment then was covered up with a fake, sexy smile, she leant over and whispered in his ear "Okay, see ya later" she placed a kiss on his ear and swaggered off. Sawyers gaze followed her, annoyed with her; she was acting like a school girl, always finding someway to be around him a lot of the time. Sawyer was washing his hands when he heard the door creek open and what sounded like high heels clip clop over the floor, he looked into the mirror and saw the red headed Kate grinning at him. Sawyer glared at her in the mirror and turned around.
"What do you want?" he hissed, Kate licked her bottom lip and shifted her position so that the split in her quite small skirt opened and showed the top of her thigh. She waved her arm in the direction of the room and said "doesn't this bring back memories baby? We should pick up where we left off" she strut off towards him, swaying her hips from side to side, Sawyer glared at her, he wasn't in the mood for someone other than his Kate to come on to him. She grabbed the back of his head and smacked her lips on his, forcing her tongue inside. There was a click sound then Sawyer pulled his head back and lightly pushed her shoulders so that she stumbled backwards, the door creaked open and he saw Tom from Kates work smirk at them and go over to one of the urinals.
Sawyer shook his head, ready to explode, he wasn't in the mood for anyone screwing him over, Kate smirked at him and said breathlessly "see you later baby" she winked at him as she strut off outside and back into the main club. Sawyer faced the mirror and saw her deep red lipstick smudged across his lips, he grabbed a paper towel and rubbed at it furiously. Kate had set the terms, the hint of another woman; everything they've been doing will get shot to sunshine and he'll never get to know his daughter. Tom walked over beside him and washed his hands "why don't you go for it pal? She's hot and willing" Sawyer glared at him and groaned "I aint interested, so why don't you" Tom smirked and tilted his head, before shaking the excess water off of his hands and going back into the club.
Sawyer rubbed his hands over his face and rejoined the rest of the group. He saw Kate's eagle-eye, assessing him and waiting, as he sat down she leaned over and said into his ear "You okay?" "Yeah am fine" he didn't mean for it to come out as harsh as it sounded and when Kate shrunk back and said "okay" he sighed and said to her "Kate's given me a hard time, she keeps followin me an its annoying" she nodded and smiled quickly, silently relieved that he wasn't mad at her. Sawyer let his hand fall on hers and his thumb stroked it softly "You want anythin?" Kate looked down at his hand on top of hers and she smiled "Yeah, lets get a drink… then have a dance" she smirked and looked him in the eye. He rolled his eyes and forced a smile "Whatever the lady wants" he stood up and placed his hand out for her to take, she grabbed on and he pulled her into a standing position, their bodies touching, he smirked and then they headed off towards the bar.
It was just after three when the club closed, everyone was outside saying their goodbyes, Kate saw the young red head looking satisfied and her gaze was eating up Sawyer, she was ready to punch her face in when Sawyer called out to her that their taxi was here. Kate glared at the young half naked woman and followed Sawyer into the taxi. Everything was slowed down, all the passing images were a slow blur, all the alcohol she had was affecting her. Kate still knew what she was doing but the alcohol gave her a happy kick, she could feel Sawyer glancing at her every few seconds. She grinned woozily and said "what?" Sawyer cocked his eyebrow and laughed "You're drunk" Kate laughed and placed her hand on his "No I think I'm fine" Sawyer rolled his eyes playfully and turned his hand around so he could link their fingers together.
The taxi stopped in front of her apartment block and she looked at Sawyer with a small smile on her face "You uh, wanna come up for some coffee?" she kept her face blank, she didn't want to show how much she wanted him to come up, she wanted to spend more time with him. Say yes say yes say yes please. Sawyer eyed her and then let a small smile appear on his lips "Okay" Kate bit her lip and smiled; she handed the money to the driver and got out of the car. They headed up to Kates apartment and went straight into the kitchen, putting the kettle on. She clumsily tried to get her heels off and almost fell over but Sawyer grabbed on to her shoulders, to make sure she wouldn't fall. Kate looked up slowly and her eyes connected with his, a smile twitched at the corner of his mouth and they started close the gap.
As their mouths touched, the kettle whistled loudly, causing the both of them to sigh and stand up straight. Kate shifted nervously and grabbed two mugs down from the cupboard, pouring coffee into them both. She picked up the mug with both hands and took a shy sip, smiling up at him; Sawyer smiled back at her and drank some of the coffee. They took a seat at the table and smiled at each other "I had a really good night tonight… thanks for coming James" Sawyer smiled shyly and looked away; Kate opened her mouth cutely and said "Aww! What was that face for" Sawyer flicked his eyes at her and quietly said "Uh… nothin… ya called me James" Kate nodded and said nervously "Is it okay if I call you that?"
Sawyer looked at her and said "of course… why not?" Kate looked sadly down at her coffee cup and said "sluts don't get to call you by your real name, remember?" Sawyer closed his eyes, he hated that he called her that, he didn't mean to, it was the rage that was talking and he wanted so much to take it back. He slid his hand over to hers and stroked it lightly "You can call me James, cause you aint a slut, far from it… and for the record I'm sorry for sayin it to ya" Kate looked up at him sadly and smiled. They sat at the table for about twenty minutes talking about the past and what was going on and things like that; Kate took his hand and led him off to her bedroom. She nodded towards the bed, so Sawyer sat on the farthest side, facing her.
Kate went into her closet and pulled out a box, she sat on the bed beside Sawyer and looked down "you deserve to see the things in here…" she lifted the lid and took out the pieces of paper, handing them to him. Sawyer looked down at the first piece of paper and smiled lightly, it was Jaime's birth certificate, and he felt happy that his name was on it, that she cared enough to have it printed. "Shannon's her first name?" he said smiling up at Kate, Kate nodded and replied "Shannon was my best friend, I loved her and I love that name" Sawyer smiled and said "and Jaime?" Kate silently laughed and she looked at him "another person that I love, both names are special" Sawyer nodded, hoping that he wasn't grinning, and he looked at the second certificate and felt sad.
He read the information and he glanced up and saw that Kate's eyes were glassy "Uh… what happened to him?" Kate licked her bottom lip and cleared her throat "he was underweight and had heart problems, we were hoping that he would pull through but he…" Kate looked down trying to hold in the tears, the alcohol was making her more emotional. Sawyer placed them in the box and sat it on the bedside cabinet; he pulled Kate against his chest and lay down. He ran his fingers through her hair soothingly and kissed her temple, Kate moved so that she was more comfortable, she placed her hand on his face and said "thank you and I'm sorry that I never called, I should have" Sawyer leaned into her hand and sighed "Its okay, I'm here now"
Kate smiled gratefully, then she looked assessingly at his ear, it was a bit red but she never said anything, she looked back at him and saw a look that made her heart melt. Kate ran her thumb over his cheek, feeling the stubble tickle her thumb, she had to admit that he suited having some stubble; he stayed clean shaven when he was a teenager and looked good but now it made him even sexier. Those butterflies were back again, those ones that terrorized her when she was alone with him, the good ones that made her feel happy, so she ran her tongue over her bottom lip and kissed him. She placed a few innocent kisses on his lips and scrunched her hand in his hair whilst his free hand ran down her slide slowly.
Sawyer ran his tongue over her bottom lip, hoping that she would open her mouth and she complied, and their tongues met slowly, massaging the other. Sawyer leaned more into her so that he was covering half of her body; Kate ran her thigh up his and let her leg rest over his leg. As their kiss grew deeper, Kate's fingers went fast to the buttons on his shirt, pulling them open quickly. She pushed the shirt off of his shoulders and pulled it at the ends, dropping it on the floor. Sawyers hand went to the side of the dress and pulled down the zipper, he went to the hem of the dress and pulled it up and over her head. He dropped it on the floor and viewed her lying in her underwear, she was in a black lacy bra and black lacy panties, his heart rate sped up and he grinned at her.
He leaned down to her ear and whispered "You sure?" Kate looked into his eyes and nodded "I'm sure" déjà vu; it remembered them both of their first time together. Even though she thought that this may be moving too fast, after all they had only met a few weeks previously- it just felt right. Kate smiled at him and pushed him over, climbing on top and crushing her lips against his. Their kiss deepened and Kate's hands went down to his zip and pulled it down, she quickly took off his belt and then she pushed his jeans lower till he wriggled out of them. Sawyer rolled them over, his tongue battling against hers; his hand went lower and went underneath her underwear making her moan. The heat intensified and soon they were both naked.
Sawyer lay in between her legs and he let his thumb stroke her cheek, their eyes were locked when he slowly slid into her, so many things displayed in their look, they wanted this to be special, this was their first time since Valentines Day back in '07 and they wanted to make it meaningful. Sawyer pressed his lips against hers; kissing her sweetly, his thrusting increased and he murmured against her lips "I've missed you… so much" Kate's eyes fluttered shut and she murmured back "I've missed you too" he leaned down and kissed her deeply, Kate clutched her finger nails into his back and moaned loudly. The little bit of pain that Kate was causing turned him on even more, he grabbed her hips and thrust faster till he heard her scream out, then a few moments later he collapsed on top of her, breathing deeply.
In between breaths Kate kissed his neck, Sawyer smiled and whispered in her ear "damn, think ya wore me out" Kate scrunched up her nose and laughed, Sawyer rolled over and brought her with him, so that she was lying on his chest. They stayed in silence for a few minutes, thinking over how right that moment felt, it felt so natural to be in each others arms even after so long. Kate nuzzled her head into Sawyers chest and yawned, his hand was playing with her hair and he kissed the top of her head "G'night freckles" Kate's stomach fluttered happily, he had just called her freckles, she missed him calling her that, she pressed her lips to his chest and whispered "good night James" Sawyer smiled and tightened his grip around her as they both fell asleep.
