Thanks for the reviews. They were sweet. Here is new chapter.
CHAPTER 14:
Kate opened her eyes…It was nearly noon and the sun was shining above the horizon...She closed them again, trying to revive the last night. The night when she told Jack the truth. She never felt so relieved in her life. She was surprised how natural it felt like, sitting there with him, confessing him and, finally, lying in his arms, while he was trying his best to console her, to show her he was there...She sat up, turning her head to find...But he wasn't there...She couldn't believe it...˝After everything, after last night... She felt intolerable emptiness inside her.
˝How could he……˝ she thought, feeling tears gathering in her eyes.
But then she felt someone's hands on her eyes...Someone's lips kissing her gently on the cheek.
˝Morning.˝ he said, sitting next to her. ˝Thought I would leave you after everything that happened last night?
She nodded, feeling relieved and smiling
˝Well, that´s not going to happen: not now, not ever, Kate.˝ he said, handing her some fruit. ˝I was just going to get you some food.˝
˝Thanks, Jack.˝ she said simply, taking a piece of banana he offered her.
For a couple of minutes they just sat there, looking into the ocean. Kate was relieved to find out that everything was fine between them again. She really missed these times of tranquility; just him and her, no words needed.
˝So, Kate…..˝ he started, breaking off the silence.
She looked at him. He loved that look, the way her eyebrows frown a little and her eyes seem pensive. ˝She always has that sparkle in her eyes.˝ he thought. ˝Maybe I should call her Flickers.˝
˝Jack, I …….˝
˝Jack, can you….Oh…Sorry, dude, I didn't mean to….˝ started Hurley, feeling awkward.
˝What do you want, Hurley? ˝ said Jack, turning around. Why do we always have to be interrupted?
˝I could use a little help……you know…ohm…. with the stash… But, I see˝ he continued, looking significantly at Kate. ˝you have better things to do right now, so….I´ll just ask Charlie or….˝
˝Hurley, it´s okay.˝ said Jack. ˝I´ll help you.
He stood up, cleaning the sand from his jeans.
˝We´ll finish this later.˝ he said, looking at Kate.
˝Yeah.˝ she nodded. ˝See you.˝
