So here's the talk you've been waiting for. I'm sorry if it's not what you waited for but i couldn't resist :D Enjoy!
Chapter 25
"So."
"So."
"This is a good-bye." Kate said with a sad smile. She was outside, in front of her father who was about to get into a cab that was waiting.
"How about we make it a "See you soon?" He asked taking her into his arms, wanting to remember his daughter's feel and scent if something went wrong.
"Okay" she whispered, her voice muffled by her father's chest.
After a while they drew apart and Sam Austen opened the door in order to get in but he turned around as if he had forgotten something.
"Did you talk to Jack?" he asked.
"Why would I wanna talk to Jack?" she asked stubbornly. "Just because I'm not leaving doesn't mean we're gonna get back together."
"Katie…" Sam sighed taking her hands in his. "You still don't get it, do you?" he asked softly.
Kate looked at him confused. What was that she didn't get? "Dad what…"
"He knew Katie. About me and my…mission. I think he overheard me when I was talking to your mother." Sam said.
Kate looked at him perplexed. "He knew? "Why didn't he…?" she started to ask but realization dawned on her. She looked shocked and looked at her father for confirmation.
"He's a good man" Sam said, kissed his daughter and got into the cab. Kate stood there frozen, slowly comprehending the situation. With one last look at the place where the cab had disappeared, she ran back into her house.
"Where are you going?" Diane asked as she saw her daughter 10 minutes after Sam was gone getting out of the house.
"At Jack's" she yelled and she was gone.
"O-kay" Diane exclaimed more confused than ever.
She didn't bother knocking on his door. Margo had let her in and she excused herself saying she was going to a friend to play bridge. Kate though realized she was leaving to give them some privacy and she couldn't help but be grateful to her.
She entered his room, without him knowing it. He was lying on his stomach, headphones plugged in his ears, the volume of what he was hearing at the highest. She went closer and she could hear the "Lost control" by Anathema coming out of his headphones.
She looked at his face. He had his eyes closed and his face turned towards her. His pillow was wet and for a minute she thought he was drooling but when she looked closer she saw tears falling from his eyes. Her heart beat faster and the anger for him was instantly forgotten.
She knelt in front of him and touched his back lightly. He jumped at the sudden contact, removing the headphones from his ears. He looked at her more surprised than ever, eyes wide, mouth hanging open. She stood up to come to his eye level and they just kept looking at each other.
"What…how…why…wh…Kate?" he said trying to find the right words.
"What? You don't remember my name?" she asked, the anger quickly coming back to her.
"Uh…I…I thought…why…why are you here?" he asked shaking his head still not getting what was happening.
"Am I interrupting something?" she asked, eyes dangerously cold, hands holding her waist. She didn't care how many tears he had spent, he was gonna hear her screaming whether he liked it or not.
"No…no…I…just…" he mumbled not really sure what he was gonna say.
"You just don't love me, is that it?" she said angrily.
He gulped and looked down, too tired of lying to her. He sat down on his bed and changed the subject.
"When are you leaving?" he asked.
"I'm not." she replied smartly.
"What?" he gasped, snapping his head up to look at her.
"Why are you so surprised?" she asked watching carefully his expression.
"I'm not…I just thought…"
"You thought that since you don't love me and you made me feel like shit I'd go as far away from here as possible" she said as a matter of fact.
He didn't say anything to that. He just stood up turning his back on her, and he went to his desk as if looking for something. He cleared his throat and asked "So why are you here?"
She smiled but didn't say anything. She jumped on his bed and lied on it, eliciting a content sigh. "I was just bored."
He gulped again and tried not to look at her and indulge into kissing her. God it had been so long, he thought closing his eyes.
"Hmm." was all he said.
She smiled in satisfaction. She knew it was not nice what she had planned to do to him but he was asking for it.
"God it's hot in here" she said in an enticing voice and sat up. She got rid of her shirt in one shift movement. She was now only in a very tight and very very short undershirt. Her flat stomach was exposed and the upper of her breasts too. One of the straps of her bra had fallen down her shoulder but she didn't bother putting it back on place.
She caught Jack staring, mouth gaping, and she cocked questionaly her brows at him. He quickly looked away, blushing furiously. He was now half sitting on the edge of his desk, looking down at his feet, playing with his fingers. What is going on, he thought. Is this some kind of revenge? What is she doing here?
"So, I was thinking" she started, sitting up in a way that gave Jack a full sight of her upper breasts. Jack looked over once in a while but he always averted his eyes quickly, not wanting to get caught. "Just because you're not in love with me, doesn't mean we can't be friends, right?" she asked looking at him innocently.
He looked at her for a brief moment like she was crazy and then asked "You don't…you don't have a problem with that? I mean…I lied to you…" he said.
"So what?" she said shrugging her shoulders. "I've lied to you too."
"You have?" he asked surprised.
"Yeah. Remember when I told you Sawyer was not my type?" she asked and he nodded, his full attention at her words.
"Well he is now. I mean I always liked the bad-boy thing. I'm thinking of asking him out" she said thoughtfully.
"You what?" he gasped in shock.
"Why, you have a problem?" she asked looking at him curiously.
"You damn right I have!" he yelled at her.
"Oh so you think he'll break my heart? Maybe you should give him some lessons" she snapped at him.
"That…this…has nothing to do with me and you…" he started.
"Of course not" she said as a matter of fact. "It's about me and me only. He is kinda hot don't you think?" she asked cheekily and with that he snapped.
He grabbed her by the shoulders and brought her face to face with him. His angry look gave Kate a small amount of satisfaction.
"You'll never go out with him, do you hear me?" he said in a loud voice for her to comprehend every word he said.
"Why not? I don't have a boyfriend, do i?" she asked innocently.
"That's not the point…"
"Then what's the point Jack? Last time I checked I was a free woman. I can do whatever I want" she said as a matter of fact.
"Damn it" he hissed and before Kate even realized what was happening Jack's lips were on hers. He pushed her to the wall behind her and thrust his tongue forcefully into her mouth. She was too surprised to react and too overwhelmed to push him off of her.
He was kissing her hard, wanting to imprint the feeling of his lips on hers. The thought of her going out with Sawyer had driven him mad. He knew now he had no right to tell her what to do or what not to but hell would freeze over before he let her even touch another man.
He had now his hands buried in her dark locks and was holding her head in place for him to explore the depths of her mouth. It had been so long that the intoxicating feeling over her tongue caressing his was almost making him lose it.
He finally detached his mouth from hers, only to attack her neck, kissing and nibbling her sensitive places. She brought her hands to the back of his neck, finally finding the courage to react and sighed in contentment. He slowly kissed up her neck, bringing his mouth to her ear, where she could hear his frantic and lustful breathing. And that's when she snapped.
With one quick movement she pushed him away and slapped him across the face.
Shock and surprise could only describe his feelings at the moment. His eyes wide in question and his mouth hanging open in confusion.
"What the hell was that for?" he asked, holding the cheek she had slapped, feeling it getting sore.
"That" she started taking a step forward making him take a step back,"was for making me believe that all this time I was living a lie" she said angrily.
"Wh…what?" he asked.
"You know bloody hell what. You thought that if you made me believe I was nothing to you I would decide to go away with my father" she said her voice rising ominously.
"I don't know what you're talking about" he said innocently.
"Touche" she said rolling her eyes. "You don't need to sweat, my dad told me everything." she said softly.
"He did?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yeah Jack, he did," she replied angrily. "Unlike you he likes to be honest with the people he loves."
"Then…then why didn't you go with him?" he asked confused.
"Because he loves me and he doesn't want me to spend a year of misery just so we could have another year together. And because he promised me he will come back." Kate said.
Jack was silent for a long while, taking in all the information he had received in a matter of minutes. He then looked at Kate, his eyes pleading with her to understand.
"Kate i…"
"How could you?" she bellowed. "How could you pretend you don't love me just so you could send me to my dad?" she yelled.
"Kate I only wanted you to have a chance with him…" he apologized.
"How about my happiness Jack? Did you think about that or were you so busy with your self loathing that you didn't have time to think about how miserable you made me feel?" she asked.
"I didn't want you to miss your dad because of me, Kate" he said getting angry too. "I'm just a boyfriend, you'll find another one if you have to. But if you lose your dad then that's it." he yelled back at her.
She looked at him as if he were a mad man. "Just a boyfriend? You think you're just a boyfriend?" she asked baffled.
"Kate…"
"What the hell Jack? What…what are we doing here? I suppose I'm just a girlfriend to you too so why do I even bother to make things right between us…?" she said and started to get out of the room.
"You know you mean the world to me, Kate!" he said loudly, grabbing her arm to prevent her from leaving.
"Do I?"
"You don't get it, do you? I love you, Kate. I love you!" he said passionately that Kate softened almost immediately.
"Then why did you want to…"
"Because I love you too much! I thought that letting you go with your father was the best for you but I knew you'd never agree. And I'm sorry for lying to you and making you believe I don't care about but I couldn't stand watching you regret not going with your father if something went wrong." he said on the verge of tears.
"Jack I'm sorry…" she said softly caressing lovingly his cheek.
"No don't be" he said shaking his head. "It's all my fault" he whispered backing away from her, as if he didn't deserve to be touched by her.
"Jack…" she said touching his shoulder.
"I've hurt you so much, Kate. How can you not hate me?" he asked.
"I do Jack" she said and Jack felt like he was stabbed. "I hate you for making me feel that way. I hate you for wanting to control my life. I hate you for thinking I could just get over you and move on. But most of all I hate you cause I love you so much it hurts. I hate you because whatever you do I won't ever stop loving you." she said and slid her hand around the nape of his neck, pulled him close very deliberately and kissed him. His mouth was a slow, seductive drug on her senses. Heat and excitement ignited within both of their bodies. She put her other free arm around his neck and abandoned herself to the tantalizing sensations that were igniting her senses. She had already been addicted to his kisses.
After a few minutes of heavy kissing, they pulled apart, panting and gasping.
"What are you doing tonight?" Jack asked trying to get his breathing back to normal.
"Something with you" she replied still panting making him chuckle. "My mom is leaving for the weekend" she said and Jack looked at her seriously.
"Hmm" he said making her giggle.
"So you're coming over?" she asked licking her lips in a way that made Jack wanna grab her and…
"You bet I am!"
