Fantastic Kate!! What the hell are you going to do now??
"Kate, what's wrong?"Sun asked worriedly, when Kate sat in the limo, looking even more tensed then before.
"I'm perfectly fine, Sun!" Kate said in a chirpy tone that scared Sun even more. "Could you please do me a favor? Could you please call up James and ask him to come over at my house immediately?"
Kate thought it would be best to explain the situation to James in private but she couldn't face him on the phone right now…especially after the conversation they just had.
"Kate, when the hell were you going to tell me about this accident?? I had to read about it in the newspaper with other 50 million people! You didn't think it was important enough to tell your boyfriend?"
"What? No! I was going to tell you!"
"Yeah? When?"
"Soon!"
"Of course you were! And where the hell are you right now anyway?"
Great! He had to ask! I cant tell him I'm at a therapy session!
"It's not important..."
"Of course it isn't! You know what Kate I don't have time for these stupid little games!"
"Fine!"
"Okay then! I'll see you later!"
"Whatever! Bye!"
Kate couldn't help but be worried that he'd say no and she would have to go alone and make excuses for him at the party. Kate couldn't even blame him for not coming; she couldn't care less about what the people would think but what she was worried about was-Jack. God he won't let her forget this day for the rest of her life!!
"Kate?" Kate looked up to see Sun smiling at her."James said he'd meet you there." She felt a lot better. If he agreed to meet her, he might also come for the dinner; maybe things won't go so bad after all!
As soon as the limo came to a halt at Kate's house she took a deep breath and proceeded towards the entrance. James would already have reached by now and was probably waiting for her inside. She grabbed a hold of the door knob, but before she could turn it James from the other side flung the door open and bought her into a tight hug which Kate returned awkwardly. She never felt comfortable when he hugged and maybe to some extent it actually repulsed her. She realized how every time he hugged her she felt disappointed by the lack of love in their relationship. The last time she got a hug that actually meant something to her was from Jack. She soon snapped out of it when James started whispering something in her ears. Something he did that sent shivers down her spine and not in a good away.
"I'm so sorry baby! I shouldn't have yelled at you like that, especially after everything you've just been through!" He whispered in a loving tone that made Kate want to throw up.
"It's okay! I should have told you earlier, I'm sorry too. Lets just forget about it and move forward okay?" she said, trying to sound loving but failing miserably. Luckily James didn't notice and when he pulled out of the hug he gave her a smile, one that could make a million girl's hearts melt but Kate was only made uncomfortable by it. She never admitted it but she was slightly intimidated by him, whether it was the fact that he had powerful contacts in every part of the world or the fact that when he looked at her, his eyes spelled out I OWN YOU!
"You're so amazing! I'm so lucky to have you!"He waited for Kate to reply.
"Uh…Yeah…me too." She said with a fake smile.
"Let me make it up too you! Let me take you out to dinner! Any place you want! As long as it's expensive!"He chuckled.
"Uh…actually a couple of my friends are hosting a dinner party tonight and want both of us to attend-" She was soon cut off by James's cell phone going off. Why the hell are all cell phones going off at the wrong time today!
"Yeah…Oh….I'll be there!"He snapped his cell phone shut,"Sorry honey but I've got to go now, I'll see you later!"He started getting into his black convertible.
"James!"
"What?" It always made him angry when someone referred to him like that. He'd ask everyone to call him Sawyer, he thought it was more like a model name but Kate only found this stupid.
"Dinner… At my friend's house?"
"Yeah sure. I'll pick you up at nine!"And with that he left leaving a very satisfied Kate.
The first thing that Jack did when he came home that day was Google 'James Ford'. Jack came to know that he and Kate met during a Davidoff campaign and were now dating for a few months. James or 'Sawyer' as some referred to him, like Kate started modeling at a very young age and was now considered one of the most powerful and good-looking models. Jack uploaded of the images just to catch a glimpse of the man that Kate was dating but he realized that even before Jack looked at him he knew he severely disliked him.
Just before the image began uploading Jack shut his laptop.
Why do you care so much about who's she dating?
Because you like her….
Jack forgot how to breathe when realization hit him-hard. This can't be happening! "I like Kate."
To take his mind off Kate he decided to help Sarah out with the dinner plans which soon became excruciatingly painful because she wouldn't shut up about how everyone was looking forward to meeting Kate.
"You're going to need one extra place setting." Jack said after he realized that he hadn't mentioned to Sarah Kate's 'plus one'.
"Why?"She said and accidentally dropped a fork.
"Uh…Kate's bringing a friend…James Ford." He muttered as he bent underneath the table to pick it up, but hit his head hard as Sarah screamed at the exact moment he got up.
"I can't believe it! James Ford is coming to our house!" She squealed, jumping up and down.
"God…Women."He said rubbing his hand at the back of his injured head as Sarah started making phone calls to her friends.
At about 8.50pm Kate checked herself in the mirror and looked pleased with her decisions. After a lot of thought she decided to go from a simple strapless black cocktail dress that stopped a few inches above the knees showing off her beautiful long legs, accompanied with black high heels that were tied a little above her ankles. The top of her hair was pulled back with a clip while the rest of her brown curls were wildly flowing on her shoulders. Her eye makeup was dark and made her eyes look greener then ever! Take that Jack Shepherd! Kate realized that she hadn't put so much thought into a dress in a really long time.
Why do I care how I look in front of him??
Because you like him Kate said a voice in her head.
Kate's eyes widened in shock, "I like Jack." She whispered to herself in horror, completely oblivious to the fact that the same thing happened to Jack a while ago.
James, not so much to Kate's surprise was over an hour late. Normally, such things didn't bother Kate but today she was furious.
After Kate's recent realization, she convinced herself that Jack didn't feel anything towards her.
But then why would he be jealous Kate?
Shut up stupid conscience! Jack doesn't feel anything towards me! He just wants to embarrass me in front of everyone! He wants to prove he was right about mine and James's relationship!
Kate decided she would put on the perfect act in front of everyone; prove to Jack that she and James shared a loving relationship. Just as she finished arguing with herself she saw James's car pull into the drive way.
You can do this Kate!
After Jack was done helping Sarah and taking a very strong painkiller for his head he got dressed in a plain black dress shirt and black pants. He heard a whistle and turned around to see Sarah leaning on the door frame in a short pink cocktail dress.
"Hey handsome! You ready?" Eliciting a nervous chuckle from Jack.
"Yeah, let's do this."
The dinner was held in their back yard which was looking over the ocean. Sarah who had taken extreme precautions to make the dinner memorable after she learnt that Kate would be attending had taken it a little too over board after learning James would be too. Their entire back yard was covered with scented candles and looked absolutely stunning.
An hour after the decided time the backyard was full of Sarah's friends, all of whom Jack didn't like. All the women were looking at him and giving him flirtatious smiles but Jack had been patiently waiting for Kate to show up and was becoming more anxious by the minute not only because he really wanted to see her but also because he was pretty sure that Sarah would kill him if she didn't.
"Jack, where the hell is she??" Sarah whispered through gritted teeth. "People are beginning to get impatient!"
"I don't know Sarah!"
Before Sarah could say anything James's car skidded into the driveway leaving skid-marks and smoke behind.
Jack couldn't help but chuckle at this. He found this typical attention seeking style statement ridiculous. But apparently he was the only one who thought this because everyone else had excited grins plastered on their faces as they waited for the couple to get out.
The first one the came into Jack's view was a tall blonde man.
So this is James. What does she see in him? He thought. Whatever it was, other women saw it too as they started to squeal excitedly, including his wife which Jack raised his eyebrows at.
"What? He's hot!" she replied nonchalantly.
He waited with bated breath for Kate to get out and when she did his jaw hit the floor - something that did not go unnoticed by Sarah.
Kate opened the door to the car and put out one bare leg out shortly followed by the other, every man there couldn't help but drool at the stylish way she got out, this Jack found extremely sexy and far from stupid.
Everyone came back to their senses when the couple crossed the fence and approached Jack and Sarah.
"Hey Jack" Kate said softly with a smile which Jack found himself returning.
"Hi Kate." He replied in the same manner surprised when she didn't put up a fight for calling her 'Kate'. For a moment they kept staring into each other's eyes.
"Hey man, I'm Sawyer, Kate's boyfriend." He said with a hint of superiority while he put his arm around Kate's waist and pulled her tight towards him, something that made Jack want to punch him in the face.
"Hi, I'm Jack and this is my wife Sarah."
"It's a pleasure to meet you both."Sarah made her presence known as she said with a wide grin."Kate, why don't I introduce you too everyone?" Before Kate could reply Sarah was dragging her away to a group of awaiting people.
"So can I get you anything to drink?"Jack asked James awkwardly, not knowing what to do since the women left but he noticed James was eyeing a group of girls near the bar who were smiling and giggling looking at him.
"No, but thanks man I'll manage."And with that he left. Jack's hatred towards the guy was only growing.
How could anyone leave someone as amazing as Kate for a couple stupid drunk girls?
After talking to the guests for a while, Jack took a seat at the end of the balcony that separated their house from the beach, were no one could see him but where he had a clear view of Kate. He looked at her the whole night, he saw how she pretended to laugh at other's jokes, how she smiled at everyone.He also noticed how miserable she looked but tried her best to hide it from the world. He wanted to go to her and wrap her in a tight hug, tell her how beautiful she looked but decided that was James's job, not his. He glanced at James who was still at the bar surrounded by a large group of women with his arms around two of them.
Bastard! Jack looked back to were Kate was previously standing but she wasn't there anymore, he looked around the backyard but she was nowhere to be found .
He relaxed when he found her standing on the beach in knee length water.
But soon his heart started beating faster and his eyes widened when she started to go deeper and deeper.
The more reviews the faster you find out what happens to Kate.
I'm not blackmailing, just want to know if people are actually interested:)
