CHAPTER 21
He led her down to the waterfall. They sat there in silence for a couple of minutes, just watching the silver cascades of water falling down and creating a large spume of bubbles. She enjoyed spending time with him like this. They used to do it before, but now it was different. Now they were couple. She loved the thought of having Jack beside her.
˝What are you thinking about? ˝he said, breaking off the silence.
˝Nothing special. ˝she replied. ˝About how nice is to be here. With you. ˝
˝Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. ˝he added, smiling.
˝We showed them well, didn´t we? ˝
˝Ha? ˝he said, confused. He could not think about anything else than how beautiful she was, with sun-rays illuminating her face, revealing her freckles.
˝To Hurley and Charlie. ˝
˝Oh, yeah. Yeah. We did. ˝
˝Did you hear a word of what I was just saying? ˝
˝Uuum, not exactly. ˝he said. She frowned a bit. ˝Because I was thinking how beautiful you are. ˝he added, ´causing her to smile.
˝You just saved yourself, Jack. ˝she said, leaning forward to kiss him.
˝Aaaaw, what do we have here! ˝uttered Sawyer, approaching to them with smirk on his face. ˝Two little lover darlings exchanging their hugs and kisses. ˝
˝What do you want, Sawyer? ˝said Jack, standing up.
˝Oh, I was just little bored so I decided to check what Freckles was doing. You know, to ask her if we could spend some quality time together, if you know what I mean. ˝he added, pleased to see the look on Jack´s face.
˝You really know to be an asshole, Sawyer. ˝she said, knowing that the only reason he´s doing it is to make Jack pissed off. She remembered the talk they were having few days ago, and she knew that he was sincere back than, but he also wouldn´t want to miss a chance of teasing Jack.
˝I was just telling the truth, Freckles. ˝he answered, still grinning.
˝You son of a…..˝ started Jack, heading over to him.
˝Whoa, whoa, Doc, take it easy. ˝he said, taking one step back. ˝It was a joke, okay? I´ve already talked it with Freckles. We agreed that Rambina is better match for me. ˝
Jack stopped, looking confused. Who the hell was Rambina?
˝Anna Lulu. ˝added Sawyer, seeing the look on Jack´s face. ˝It really takes some time to you, Jackass, to realize things! ˝
˝Jack, it´s okay. Ignore him, he´s just provoking you. ˝she said, giving Sawyer an you´re-idiot-look.
˝Aaaw, how sweet of Freckles to stand up for you! ˝he said. Then, realizing that he had just crossed the line, continued more seriously. ˝They need you down at the beach. Freckles, not you. ˝he added, seeing that Jack has already put his backpack on his shoulders.
˝Do you need me to come with you? ˝Jack asked her, worried about her going alone through the jungle.
˝Don´t worry, Doc. I´ll take care of her. ˝said Sawyer, and this time (as Jack just realized it) without that intolerable sneer on his face.
˝Fine. Than, see you later. ˝he said, leaning down to give her a goodbye kiss.
˝Oh, I´m gonna be sick! ˝yelled Sawyer, taking his pack and leaving.
