Sawyer groggily awoke at the strange music that was suddenly playing a couple of rooms away. It sounded like an old swing band. He turned over on to his stomach then slid out of bed. Despite his build he moved fairly silently down the hallway of the Swan Darmah base that lead to the living room area where he was amused and surprised to find Kate in a rare act of dancing. He hid in the doorway watching her. At first she began twirling her hips slowly to each beat. Then when the singing began she grabbed a broom that was leaning on the wall and began mouthing the lyrics at it as the smooth female voice from the record sung. He could just imagine her in one of those sparkling dresses serenading the eager crowd. While the singing had started off fairly slow it soon launched into a jazzy faster beat making Kate fly into motion kicking her feet and moving her arms to the tune, skilfully including the broom, Sawyer thought with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't care if the don't shine I get my lovin' in the evening time when I'm with my baby! It's no fun with the sun around but I get going when the sun goes down" She mouthed letting the broom fall a little before kicking it back up and dipping it "and I need my baby-" she tapped her feat to the beat switching the broom from one hand to the other.
"That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss and then we kiss some more" she tilted her head to her shoulder as if flirting with a lover "Don't ask how many times we kiss at a time like this, who keeps score?" she dropped the broom, skipping over to a wall she playfully rolled along it pausing on each beat and shaking her hips in time with the music. The record went into a into a musical break in the singing causing Kate to lose the old style and begin to just have fun bopping around. Sawyer couldn't help but smirk at what she was doing. The chorus repeated and Kate kept performing for her invisible fans.
"And I don't care if the sun don't shine I get my lovin' anytime when I'm! With! My Baby!" She actually sung out the last line of the song as loud as she could with the record player, sending herself into a huge spin, like a finale move. However she did not notice the broom under her feet and she tripped on it stumbling into a fall. Sawyer rushed forwards holding his arms out and catching her before she hit the ground. She looked up, as a trumpet bamed out the last few notes, a blush covering her cheeks.
"Sawyer!" she exclaimed pushing herself out of his grasp
"I was just-just" She stuttered as he sauntered past her smiling, his eyes still watching her. He looked briefly to the broom on the floor.
"Cleaning, Freckles?" he asked smugly with a wink.
She looked down to conceal the embarrassed grin covering her face.
"I thought so" Sawyer sniggered walking into the kitchen. Kate picked up the broom and put it back in its place still cursing herself for not remembering it was Sawyers turn to sleep in the base. Maybe he wouldn't annoy her about it, maybe he'd just forget, she thought wistfully before hearing him quietly from the kitchen sing:
"I get my lovin' any time when I'm with my baby"
