Rain, Rain, Go Away!
Chapter Four:
And the blue sky shined through,
And clouds disappeared from view.
The winds stopped, the air stilled
And the sun came out.
Is that a rainbow I see?
"Whow, girl, is it just me or is it hot!" Sawyer stated for the third time in the last minute.
Kate had insisted that she and Sawyer make there way back to the 'real' cave camp as soon as the rain had stopped, which wasn't soon enough for Kate who had spent a whole night with Sawyer. And whether she was willing to admit it or not she HAD fallen asleep in Sawyer's arms.
"Guess the day was just too exhausting for you or maybe you just liked sleeping with me." Is what Sawyer stated oh so subtly. Unfortunately for Kate, she would probably be the center of some pretty juicy gossip once Sawyer spun his story totally out of proportion.
"Oh shut—" Kate stopped, shaking her head. "You always get me to react, don't you?"
"Well, I would say it is my natural charm, but, I think you just have a thing for me." Sawyer gave Kate a look she didn't want to admit gave her butterflies.
Turning away quickly, Kate kept walking, "Some hurricane." She stated sarcastically. "I thought they lasted for days." She glanced at Sawyer giving him a look that said 'you don't know a thing about hurricanes do you?'
"Hey!" Sawyer protested. "I do know about hurricanes."
"Hmmmff." Kate grunted in disbelief.
"I do! It's just," He paused as if contemplating some really big concept. "this island."
Kate gave him another look.
"It's this island. Nothin' is normal here. Even the hurricanes." Sawyer waved his arm in the air, starting to get carried away. "Look around sweetcheeks, this place is messed."
Sawyer noticed Kate wasn't even listening to him. "Hey!"
Seeming to notice Sawyer for the first time, Kate rushed over and grabbed Sawyers arm and dragged him to some foliage.
"What—" Sawyer raised his arms in defense.
"Look." Kate interrupted pointing into a clearing. She was smiling, and looked happier than she had been in a long time. A small pond lay near a rock formation where water glistened off the stone face. Shimmering specs of light seemed to dance in the air. Among all this a rainbow arched across the sky. The scene was breathtaking.
Standing side by side both Sawyer and Kate were gapping at the scene.
Sawyer opened his mouth to say something but when he saw the look of pure joy on Kate's face, something made him stop.
"I've always loved rainbows." Kate stated a few minutes later. Folding her arms across her chest she rubbed her arms, a sad look coming into her eyes.
Finally Sawyer felt it was time to speak up. How long could a guy stay quiet anyways? "It's just a bunch of colors you know?"
Turning to Sawyer quickly, Kate started to argue speaking quickly. "But they are so special, a natural beauty nature has put out for us to enjoy—"
Sawyer put his finger to her lips, "Hey. I didn't say it wasn't a site to look at." His southern drawl coming a little thicker than usual.

The rest of the trip back to the caves was rather undisturbed. A
calming peace seemed to settle between Kate and Sawyer. Kate had sworn ten minutes ago that they were nearing the caves.
Suddenly Kate stopped.
"What? We there."
She nodded.
"Okay. So why are we just standing here?"
She shrugged.
"Uh…okay…"
The silence was palpable.
"Well, it has been lovely and all but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." Kate looked at him blankly.
Sawyer clarified. "Go tell the rest of those losers what a hero he is!" Sawyer patted himself on the chest and started to leave.
Kate watched him leave. Just as he was about to round the bend she called to him.
"Yeah." He responded raising his eyebrow questioningly.
"Thanks." Kate looked embarrassed. "For everything."
