"Someone is in a good mood today." Rose approached Kate at the kitchen with a small smile.
"It's a nice day." Kate answered after swallowing a spoonful of cereal.
"Something must have happened to have you smiling like that."
"Nothing ."
Rose cocked her eyebrows. "Honey… you are glowing."
"Like I said, it's a nice day." Kate smiled.
"Sure it is." The black woman shook her head.
"Hey, have you-"
"She went to the lake."
Kate stared.
"How did you -I wasn't gonna…"
"Sure you weren't." Rose said.
"So…" The brunette prodded lightly.
"I," Rose said giving her one of those 'aha' looks. "would say she left about fifteen minutes ago."
"I-" Kate started only to be interrupted by a smirking Rose.
"Wasn't going to ask about that."
"Exactly." Kate replied averting her eye and fighting off a smile. "And , uh, is she…"
"Jack's just over there hun," Rose pointed down the beach. "She's by herself, unless she's meeting there with a secret lover of hers, she's alone."
"Lover? Who?" Kate asked getting up and frowning. "What secret lover?"
Rose rolled her eyes. "She's by herself. And you are here, so, yes, she's alone."
"Oh…"Kate blushed staring at her feet. "I knew that."
"Young people these days…" Rose parted shaking her head.
Kate finished the rest of her breakfast and saw Jack approach her form the beach with a smile.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Good and you?" She gave him a happy smile.
"I'm fine, thanks." Jack frowned at her before smiling himself. "Do you know where Juliet is? Haven't seen her today."
"Uh, no."
"You guys are not getting any fruit today, are you?"
"Nope."
"Hmm… okay." He smiled. "Are you feeling better today? No more sudden crankiness?"
"Nope. No more."
"Good, cuz you've been a little… clawy lately."
"Hormones."
"Yeah, hormones." Jack decided to leave it at that. "Okay, see you later then. I'm gonna look for Juliet."
"Okay, good luck finding her."
Kate smirked when Jack took off in the opposite direction to the lake. She readied a bag with a towel and some dry clothes, water and some fruit to take to the lake.
As she passed the kitchen, she avoided Rose's knowing look, lowering her head as the woman approached and blushing when Rose exclaimed,
"Try to bring her back in one piece unscathed, will you please?"
"Wha…?"
"Just kidding honey. Now hurry up. I hear Jack is looking for her and Sawyer might be looking for you already."
Kate nodded and took off.
She wasn't running really…
I'm feeling brave today…
Kate thought puffing out her chest.
Austen reached the lake and looked for the blonde.
She waited a while to see if a blonde head resurfaced but apparently Burke wasn't down there. Or she was and she had drowned.
Oh my God! Does she even know how to swim? What if she's… oh God!
"Following me now, are you?"
Kate jumped and turned around.
"There you are! I thought you- uh, I-I thought- gah…" The brunette gaped.
Brain fry.
GULP!
"You thought what?" Juliet asked with a small smile.
"Uh… you uh… you're… y-you a-are not wearing clothes…" Kate spluttered out blushing like crazy and turning around sneaking a few glances.
Juliet laughed. "I believe I'm not completely naked Kate."
The blonde was wearing a very sexy black two-piece which was the reason why Kate's brain suffered a little death. Add to the fact that she was dripping wet and her disheveled hair gave her an extremely wild and totally irresistible look.
"Uh… no." She cleared her throat. "I knew that…errr…"
"Are you okay Kate?"
Kate nodded rapidly and sat on a rock.
"Yeah, yeah," She cleared her throat. "Why do you ask?"
"Cuz you look about to faint."
"Well, yunno, the heat-the sun's heat, and all…" Kate clarified before stripping down to just her bikini and entered the cold water where there thankfully wasn't any decomposing bodies.
She was thankful they had found another lagoon where they could safely take a swim and not be dead if there was some accidental swallowing up of some water.
Juliet chuckled and followed.
"Are you feeling better now?" She asked swimming close to Kate who was just resurfacing.
"Um, yeah."
"Good." Juliet smiled splashing the other some water.
They played around some more before Kate decided to say something.
"I like that."
"What?" Juliet asked smiling.
"That. When you smile. It looks really good on you. Makes me smile."
Juliet laughed blushing a little looking somewhere else, sitting on an underwater rock.
"Glad you like it."
"And you just totally blushed!" Kate said amused.
"It's the heat Kate." Juliet retorted rolling her eyes.
"Now who's lying?"
Kate's smirk washed off her face when Juliet wrapped her legs around her and brought them closer.
"Okay, yes, I blushed. I admit it." Juliet smiled tucking some rebel strand of hair behind Kate's ear.
"Uh…" Kate got out blushing with wide eyes.
"Are you at a loss of words Austen? Cat got your tongue?"
"Uh…"
Juliet chuckled. "You blush too much."
"Shut up." Kate said looking down.
Bad, bad idea! She thought when looking down meant staring at the blonde's very nice breasts. Really bad idea!
Juliet smirked devilishly puffing out her chest.
"See anything you like?"
"Oh God! Sorry! I-I wasn't! I didn't mean to…!" She panicked looking anywhere but at the laughing blonde. "It's not funny…" She reproached when Juliet didn't stop.
"I'm sorry, but you are like a pubescent boy when you blush and stammer like that."
Kate gasped offended.
"I'm not!"
"Hey, I find it pretty cute and flattering."
Kate smiled through her glaring.
"So… are you still partially mad at me?"
"That depends…" The blonde tightened her hold on the brunette with her legs.
"On what? I'm a prisoner here. I doubt I can get out of this hold if I wanted to."
"Depends on the fact whether you try to escape. If you do, then I'll stop being partially mad at you and get potentially pissed."
"Oh really?"
"Yes. But you are here now, and you came after me so… that gives you some points."
"And what happens if you get potentially pissed?" Kate asked getting closer and resting her hands on either side of Juliet's hips.
"Then I'm never kissing you again."
"Never?"
"Never ever."
"We can't have that, now can we?" Kate asked leaning in smiling.
"Nope. We can't."
"Definitely not."
Kate smiled one last time before closing the remaining distance between their lips and happily kissed the blonde very softly.
After a while, she slid her hands upwards and caressed Juliet's skin before trailing them down, resting them on her lower back, while the blonde held onto her hips, bringing her even closer.
"Mmm…" Kate moaned when Juliet started trailing kisses down her chin and throat, placing small bites here and there.
"What?"
"That feels good."
Juliet chuckled making Kate jump at sensation the vibrations produced. She trailed her kisses back to where they were originally, and engaged their tongues in that sensual duel for dominance.
"Thought you didn't like me." Juliet said breaking off the kiss, running her hands through Kate's locks.
"Neh…sometimes." Kate shrugged.
"Aha."
"You are too confusing."
"So that's why you like me sometimes."
"Seriously, when you are not making fun of me you can be nice." Kate spoke matter of factly.
Juliet, resolute on defending herself, continued. "I don't make fun of you."
"You laugh at me."
"I laugh with you."
"Only I never laugh."
"You know you are cracking up on the inside." The blonde added smugly.
Kate smiled rolling her eyes. "But the object of your entertainment is me."
"I can't help but find your clumsiness very entertaining."
"Haha. You are very funny."
Austen leaned in capturing those irresistible lips of Juliet in a passionate kiss.
"And a hell of a kisser." Juliet quipped making Kate laugh hard.
"And a hell of a kisser." She agreed after she had calmed down resuming their make-out session.
