Kate wiped her mouth. She hadn't meant for things to get that far….Her and Sawyer were just talking on the beach and the next thing she knew he was kissing her.

But, She pointed out, She didn't pull away.

Why should she feel guilty? Jack had told her to leave hadn't he?

She shook her head. It was wrong to be kissing Sawyer. That's what her mind was screaming.

"Kate?"

She looked up, and came face to face with Jack. The way he said her name sent shivers up her spine.

He was so cold, and very unlike Jack. "Jack… You weren't supposed to…It wasn't my fault" She stumbled trying to find the right words.

"I understand Kate…You could've told me you felt that way for Sawyer. I hope you're very happy together"

Kate bit her lip out of habit and smiled at him. It was a bitter smile and she hated herself for the pain she'd so obviously put him through.

"Oh Jack… I could never be happy with him…Never. Not after …" She paused, and leant up, capturing Jacks lips in a kiss.

"Not after kissing the best kisser on earth" She sighed…

Jack started to smile but stopped himself.

"No. No Kate…Why were you kissing him in the first place?" He had a lost look on his face and Kate wanted nothing more than to wrap him in her arms.

"Jack it wasn't supposed to happen."

"Then why were you coming to back out of this..What we started?"

Kate drew in a quick breath "What?"

Jack turned around, resting his head against a tree "You looked so …unhappy I thought…"

Kate frowned .

"Kate I love you. I love you with my whole heart… Kate I can't stand not being with you!"

Kate smiled and laughed.

It was one of the first times Jack had heard her laugh and he smiled at the sound.

"Jack…" She kissed him furiously.

This is what she was waiting for… to hear those three little words.

"I" She said slowly kissing his bare shoulder.

"Love" She said with a smirk kissing the tip of his nose.

"You"

Jack grinned and swept her up in his arms.

Sawyer stared at the happy couple, sadness in his eyes. He kept his expression steady, but he couldn't hide the unhappiness in his eyes.

Sayid tied the tent flap up again "Shannon?"

Shannon appeared smiling "Look! Home" She giggled.

Sayid smiled back, "Did I just hear you say home?" Shannon looked up, a thoughtful expression.

"Yeah… It is home."

Sayid settled back against a flight cushion, Shannon resting on him.

"Sayid?" She asked, lacing her fingers with his.

He kissed her earlobe so she replied.

"What happens when we leave this island? What if we don't want to leave?"

Sawyer noticed Kate's absence at the beach. He might have been the only one. He also noticed that neither Jack nor Kate had been seen all day.

The thought made his blood boil.

He might just have to do something about it.

Yes, I'm updating too fast for my own good. This is the last update for a while. …at least two days…:D Now I know this fic so far seems a bit rushed…but trust me it does have a reason. I'm not so sure I have them all in character so I will accept all critsism.

Thanks soooo much for all those who've reviewed so far…I hope you like this chapter…:D
