Chapter 5: Sawyer is rocking his body
AN: I finally got reviews!
Redbess: Thank you for reviewing… I love Claire and Sawyer too… Hence this fic…
Xlostangelx: I'm weird, that affects my fic… Just joking… But yeah, Sawyer's out of character on purpose… I thought it would be funny to make up about his softer side..
I don't own the usual stuff… I mean, look at me… Poor 16-year-old high school student… If I'd be rich, do you think I'd be writing this here?
I don't own 'Rock your body' by Justin Timberlake… I can't sing it anyway… Maybe Sawyer can :P…
I'm soooo sorry this took so long! School's keeping me way too busy lately! Graduation year is pretty hard at the moment… And of course, there's this thing called writers block… sigh
James woke up in a bed, nice and warm. He was laying next to a woman. And he had a terrible hangover. Logical, cause he didn't even remembered how much drinks he had last night. A lot of beers, some Jack Daniels, and a lot of other stuff.
He didn't even remember what he did last night, except for the drinking part. James just remembered Luke being there, and someone Luke called his cousin Jess. And then some noisy boys, called Logan and Finn. At least, that was what James thought it was.
James looked at the woman next to him, and couldn't believe what he was seeing. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him at first, then he realized it was true. It was really Claire who was laying next to him. It was not a dream.
That meant they, well, they did 'it' last night? James must have been really drunk, or else he wouldn't have forgotten that. Cause he'd never forget a wish coming true.
Maybe he should give her a wake-up kiss, James thought. He decided to do so.
Slowly, James leaned in to kiss Claire. He reached her and they kissed. Claire kissed him back, and put her arms around him. So far goes the her not liking him theory.
"James," she whispered. "Don't let Charlie see us, okay? We don't want him to freak out. Cause if they would find out, Sayid and Jack would torture you again."
Claire was dreaming about him, James realized with a smile. About them making out, back on the island. She must really like him. Good, that was exactly what James wanted.
Then, Claire woke up and looked at him, with a look of horror on her face. Was he that bad of a kisser, he wondered. This definitely didn't boost his ego, which was pretty huge by the way.
"I kissed you," Claire asked. "I'm so sorry James, I shouldn't have done that. I guess I was just getting caught up in my hormones. I'm so embarrassed. Sorry James, really!"
What was that noise he heard in his head? That was his huge ego, falling to pieces, crashing somewhere. She didn't want to kiss him? What was wrong with him, he wondered. But wait a minute, since when did she start calling him James?
"Claire," he said. "I'm willing to forgive you about the kissing thing, if you go out with me tonight. And oh, how did I get here last night? How drunk was I? What did I say?"
Maybe he did some really embarrassing stuff. But the most important thing was asking Claire out of course. He really wanted to do that, been wanting to do that for a long time.
"You said you loved me," Claire said. "You were terribly drunk. You told me about your parents, because you were very drunk, and then you just passed out. Me and Luke had to drag you back here. And okay, I'll go out with you. I hope Lorelai or Rory will baby-sit Aaron."
She wanted to go out with him! That made his day, even though he also did some stuff to be embarrassed about. He told her about his parents, so that must be the reason she started calling him James instead of Sawyer. And he told her he loved her. He must have been really drunk, cause if he was only slightly drunk, he'd never tell his deepest secrets. He really loved Claire. But no time for the drama, he had to go pick his outfit for the date. James had to make a good impression, and the outfit was very important if you wanted to do that.
--
"I'd love to baby-sit Aaron for you Claire," Rory said. "Would you mind if Jess was there too? I really need to talk to him, and stuff. Well, you know."
Claire giggled. She knew Rory meant more than just talking with Jess, because she really liked the guy. Claire thought that Jess was a nice guy, so she didn't mind.
"Jess can come with you," Claire said. "But just don't forget about my son while you two are making out like crazy… Sorry Rory, I was just giving you a hard time."
Because Rory was blushing like crazy, and that made Claire giggle even more.
"Very funny Claire," Rory said.
--
Oh my god, she was going on a date with Sawyer/James, the very hot bad boy of her dreams, and he was coming to pick her up in three hours. She would never make it in time! Claire still had to pick out her clothes, her make-up and everything. So when she saw Lorelai passing by, she asked her for help. Lorelai would know what to wear.
"Could you please, please, pretty please with sugar on top help me," Claire asked. "I'm going out with Sawyer tonight and he's going to pick me up in three hours and I still don't know what I'm going to wear and I don't know what we're going to do tonight and I'm getting nervous and that really sucks and I'm rambling right now."
Lorelai was looking at Claire like she was crazy, then started laughing.
"Claire, you sound like you just had five bottles of Spaz Juice, " Lorelai said.
"Spaz Juice," Claire wondered. "What is Spaz Juice?"
It sounded like something crazy, and that might as well be the reason Lorelai knew it. But Claire could be pretty crazy too, and she really didn't knew it.
"It's this drink with a lot of sugar," Lorelai said. "You get really hyper when you drink it. And I mean really hyper. When I can't get any coffee, I drink Spaz Juice."
Lorelai sure loved being hyper, or just having a lot of energy, Claire thought. And it all sounded very funny, but she needed help with her outfit now.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your thoughts about coffee," Claire said, "but I really need help."
When Lorelai looked back at her, she was smiling, so she had either been thinking about Luke, or about her beloved coffee. She probably couldn't live without both.
"Sorry Claire," Lorelai said. "Got a little carried away. You said you were going out with cowboy, and you don't know what to wear. Where are you going?"
Good question Lorelai, Claire thought. The only problem was, she didn't knew where she would be going. That got her even more nervous.
--
The outfit they decided on was a black t-shirt with the words 'Island princess' on it, in little diamonds (gift from Lorelai). She was also going to wear a short jeans skirt. She just hoped James would like it. There, she was nervous again.
--
He took her to a club, a hip one somewhere in a city near Stars Hollow. Claire didn't even knew there were clubs around somewhere. But it seemed like a nice place. Except for the fact that everyone there was about half James' age, so it seemed like he didn't fit there.Claire didn't mind; she was having a lot of fun dancing with James. She didn't knew he could dance, but he sure could do it. He was the much better looking version of Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake combined. And that was definitely a good thing.
When she finished her thoughts about James being a bit like Justin, an appropriate song started playing. It was 'rock your body' by Justin, of course. Claire always liked that song, so when James started dancing to the beat, she really liked it. But when he started singing along with Justin, Claire was shocked. She honestly didn't knew that he could sing.
"Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with
me
I wanna rock your body
Please stay
Dance with me"
She didn't knew he could sing. And she really didn't knew he could sing like that. He was definitely a great singer. Not many men could pull this song off. But James could.
"You
don't have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me
rock you
Till the break of day
Dance with me"
Everyone
in the club was looking at them, and Claire felt a bit embarrassed.
That only got worse when James pulled her in the spotlight, which was
now shining on the both of them.
"Got time, but I don't mind
Just wanna rock
you girl
I'll have whatever you have
Come on, just give it up
girl
See I've been watching you
I like the way you move
So
go ahead, girl, just do
That ass shaking thing you do"
James
shot Claire a pleading look, that promised he would make it up to her
if she didn't want to do this. Dirty, Claire thought smiling,
unaware that she was using one of Lorelai's famous phrases.
Spending all that time with Lorelai had that effect.
"So you grab your girls
And you grab a couple
more
And you all come meet me
In the middle of the floor
Said
the air is thick, it's smelling right
So you blast to the left and
you sail to the right"
Please
let the making up part be good, Claire thought. She was really too
shy to do things like this in public. In private, when she was alone
with James, she would have danced with more enthusiasm. Now, she was
way too shy to do that.
"Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body
Please stay
You don't have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you
Till the break of day
Dance with me"
But because of the look in his eyes, Claire couldn't just leave James there, alone on the dance floor. She was too in love with him to do that to him.
"I don't mean no harm
Just wanna rock you
girl
Make a move, but be calm
Let's go, let's give it up
girl
See it appears to me
You like the way I move
I'll tell
you what I'm gonna do
Pull you close and share my groove"
And
that was exactly what James did, pulling Claire really close. It made
her wonder if there was something in his pocket, or that he was that
glad to be on the date with her.
"So you grab your girls
And you grab a couple
more
And you all come meet me
In the middle of the floor
Said
the air is thick, it's smelling right
So you blast to the left and
you sail to the right"
Now,
Claire thought about just letting go of her fear and just dance along
with James. She decided just to do so, dancing with James, being
really close to him.
"Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body
Please stay
You don't have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you
Till the break of day
Dance
with me"
Claire almost forgot about the part that was yet
to come, the part where she should sing the girls part. Could she do
that? Would she dare? She decided to do it.
Claire:Talk to me boy
James
didn't knew she could sing. And certainly not like that. Claire was
really one of a kind, he thought. She was beautiful, nice to
everyone, and had a lovely singing voice.
Sawyer:No
disrespect, I don't mean no harm
He
didn't mean any harm, Claire wondered. Well, she guessed he just
wanted the dirty stuff after this date. That thought made her giggle
like a schoolgirl.
Claire:Talk to me boy
He
knew what his next line was going to be, and he knew it was
true.
Sawyer:I can't wait to have you in my arms
Claire
already figured that out, way back in the time the both of them were
still on the island, secretly making out, trying not to have anyone
notice them.
Claire:Talk to me boy
The
feelings he had about her were getting stronger by the minute. James
was fully aware of the corniness of his thoughts, but he didn't
mind at all.
Sawyer:Hurry up cause you're taking too long
Dirty,
Claire thought again. That thought was always in her mind when it was
about James.
Claire:Talk to me boy
The
following line wouldn't be correct for the moment, but James sure
wanted that to happen soon. Maybe after their date? You never know,
he thought.
Sawyer:Better have you naked by the end of this
song
Not by the end of this song, Claire thought. Maybe by the
end of their date? Dirty!
I
came to be with you, Claire thought. She really liked James. Maybe
even loved him. And she was sure she wanted him. Dirty!
Claire:I
came to dance with you
He knew she didn't really came to
dance with him, but there must be a reason behind it. He just hoped
it was because she liked/loved/wanted him. Possibly all three.
Sawyer:And
you know that you don't want to hit the floor
When Claire
looked at him, she noticed how cute he looked when he was just
dancing there, singing and looking at her. She definitely had the
hots for him.
Claire:I
came to romance with you
To romance with him? Well, no
problems there. James certainly liked that.
Sawyer:You're
searching for love forever more
Claire was looking for a love
that would last, and she hoped it was him.
Claire:It's
time to take a chance
James would take a chance with her,
after this club. At the end of their date.
Both:If
love is here on the floor, girl
Love was definitely there on
the floor, Claire thought. And James proved that by kissing her, with
the whole crowd looking at them, whistling and smiling.
Sawyer:Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body
Please stay
You don't have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you
Till the break of day
Dance
with me
Did James just hear a girl whispering something about
him being hot, even though he was way too old? He wasn't that old,
but in the eyes of the kids there, he must have looked like he was
from the prehistoric age.
Claire:Talk
to me boy
A guy was checking her out, even if he looked like
he was only 16 years old. I'm not frigging Mrs. Robinson, Claire
thought. Dirty!
Sawyer:No
disrespect, I don't mean no harm
James was having a blast at
this club, even though he didn't expect that. He thought that since
Claire was a lot younger than him, she would love it, and he would
hate it.
Claire:Talk
to me boy
Was there actually a hint of jealousy in the eyes of
that girl behind the bar? It really seemed like it. The girl looked
like she was a few years older than Claire.
Sawyer:But
I can't wait to have you in my arms
Almost every guy in the
club was sending him jealous glances. Not because of his hot looks,
James presumed, but because he was the one dancing with Claire. He
sure was a lucky guy.
Claire:Talk
to me boy
How long did this song last, Claire wondered. She
wanted to get the hell out of the club and go have some private fun
with James. Dirty! Again.
Sawyer:Hurry
up cause you're taking too long
This song was definitely too
long, James thought. He wanted to leave with Claire. She looked so
lovely, and also very hot, in that short skirt and the Island
Princess shirt. Even though James was sure that title belonged to
Shannon.
Claire:Talk
to me boy
The end of the song was finally almost there. Her
and James would be able to… Dirty thoughts, dirty visuals… Must
think of something else… Charlie in a thong, Charlie in a thong…Not
working, and GROSS! Erase visual, erase…
Sawyer:Better
have you naked by the end of this song
That was definitely it
for James. They were leaving. He took Claire's hand, and they left
the club, leaving the teenagers to whistle, probably guessing what
they were going to do.
While leaving, James kissed Claire. When he stopped, because he was out of breath, Claire spoke. It sounded like she was also out of breath.
"How about we go home early, cowboy?"
AN: Oh my lanta, wouldn't we all want a hot date with Sawyer? I know I would… Even though he's old enough to be my father (EW) and Josh Holloway is very married… sigh…
'Dirty!' is one of Lorelai's many weird catchphrases. She uses it a lot, especially when it has something to do with Luke giggle
I'm shallow, I live for reviews… So pretty please with sugar on top leave me a review… If you leave me an original review, I'll love you even more…
