Chapter Two: Needing

Sawyer sighed. He was fresh out cigarettes and needed a smoke bad. He shuffled in the chair he was sitting on. He couldn't get it off his mind, let alone that he had Kate has just shared a kiss a few days ago. He still couldn't get his mind off of it. And especially the fact that he knew she liked it. He knew by her body language when she first laid one on him, then the little moaning she made, and the tongue she forced into his mouth, and one of the most important was that he said a kiss, which means one, not four.

He chuckled at the fact that he had actually got Kate enjoying his kissing. He knew he had the talent, but he never thought he could break a girl like Kate. Never. He chuckled some more. 'What a man I am,' he thought. (Typical thought for a cocky guy.)

"What are you laughing at?" said a voice from beside Sawyer.

Sawyer knew the voice all too well, but he turned his head just to make sure. And of course he was right, it was Kate. A little smile snaked across his face as he took his crazy girl sunglasses off. He stared Kate in the eye, knowing that it was making her heart beat faster every second. He decided it was time to answer her question. Or at least the Sawyer way.

"None of your business," he said, still staring her in the eye.

"That was to be expected," she said, taking her eye off him trying to ignore him looking out to sea.

He chuckled then looked out to sea also.

Kate turned back to Sawyer. Sawyer could feel her eyes looking him over, but he pretended he didn't notice. Kate took a deep breath in, then let it out.

"Look, Sawyer," Kate started. "I know you'd hate me mentioning this, but... Jack has made something for everyone to do, and it looks really fun."

Sawyer's smile turned into a line. He kept his gaze on the sea. Not moving.

"Sawyer, look at me," Kate said.

Sawyer did as he was told. (Really rare.) "Isn't that odd, the Hero making something to ease everybody's worry. Well, I guess he does know about that stuff."

"Sawyer, he doesn't want to be a Hero. And I was scared to even mention it to you, but I did because I thought that you could use it along with everyone else. We're all stressed out here, and you must be too, you haven't smoked for days. So, that tells me you're out, and you could use something to get that off your mind."

Sawyer smiled, "Yeah, I could use something, but not that ."

Kate put her hand on her head, "You know what, whatever."

Before Kate walked away Sawyer grabbed and pulled her back, bringing her landing on his lap. She dipped her low and came in for a kiss.
