Sorry for the slow updates but i've been a little busy studying !
Besides just 2 reviews for the last chapter didn't help either :(
Famous model Katherine Austen has been reported missing! She was last seen at James Ford, her current boyfriend's house and has been missing since then. A reward for $100,000 has been issued. Anyone who sees the five foot seven brunette, please immediately contact your nearest police station.
"Oh crap!"Jack started at the screen in horror. Kate won't be happy to see this. He raced up the stairs deciding it was better the sooner Kate knew about this.
"Ka-"He barged the door open assuming she would be in bed but he ran into Sarah instead.
"Sarah?"He asked incredulously,"What are you doing here?"
"What the hell is wrong with you Jack? I live here!"
"No…I mean what are you doing in the guest room?"
"I just wanted to clean up…I got a call from…" Sarah trailed off about some story that she didn't notice Jack had no interest in; he was more interested in knowing where the hell did Kate go???He eyed the room and finally found what he was looking for. Jack rolled his eyes and tried to hide the smile that was appearing when he saw a pair high of heels that could be seen underneath the ends of the curtains.
Seriously Kate could you not find a better place to hide?
But he was no longer amused when he saw her handbag on the night stand. Sarah may not be smart but she definitely wasn't stupid. He took her by the shoulders and started to move her slowly so that her back was facing the nightstand while occasionally giving nods or 'Hmmm' to encourage her to keep talking, eliciting a chuckle from Kate.
"So?"He snapped out of it to see Sarah looking at him with an expectant look.
"So what?"
"Is it okay with you?"She asked impatiently, now jumping up and down like a toddler.
What the hell did she just ask me???
"Aaaa….Of course!" He said; ready to say anything that would make her leave the room.
Jack almost fell back with the force Sarah hugged him, missing Kate's disgusted look. He recovered quickly and hugged her back, making Kate's grip on the curtain tighten.
"I love you!"
Jack just smiled back but Kate raised her eye brows at this.
Why didn't he say 'I love you' back?
Sarah ran out of the room and Jack quickly shut the door behind her.
"Kate, you can come out now, she's gone."
She came out from behind the curtain looking still a little hung-over.
"You know I never considered you that guy." She said with a smile.
"What guy?"
"The guy that doesn't listen to a word that his wife says." Jack grinned at this.
"Yeah when you have a wife like Sarah you can either tell her she talks too much and get into a fight or shut up, nod and make her happy but otherwise I could be a great listener."
"Good to know, considering you ARE my therapist." she smiled at him and he returned the gesture.
"I'm serious Kate. I can be a good listener. Just let me know when you're ready to talk about last night." Kate looked up at him; his eyes were warm and approachable.
"Okay." She nodded.
"Okay…..Did you by any chance happen to actually listen to Sarah?" Jack made a hopeful face that caused her to grin.
"Yeah…something about her friend coming over to stay here for a while... and judging by the look on your face I can tell you aren't a big fan of her friends."
"You met them…can you really blame me for despising them?"He raised his eyebrows at her.
"Good point…So since you're expecting a guest I should leave."She said and picked up her hand bag.
"Uh...Yeah...About that…"Jack cleared his throat. "The thing is… there's a missing person report filed…" Kate made a hand gesture, asking him to go faster. "…against you."
"What????"Kate yelled on the top of her lungs.
"Shhh!!! Sarah doesn't know you're here remember!?!"
"Jack!!!"Came Sarah's voice from the kitchen.
Speak of the devil.
"Coming Sarah!"He yelled and then whispered to Kate, "Don't come out and we'll talk about it when I come back up."
Jack ran down the stairs praying to god that Sarah hadn't heard Kate's scream and wasn't disappointed when he found her watching TV – Kate's news of course.
"Hey did you see this??"She asked him wide-eyed.
"See what??"
"Kate's missing!!"She told him and waited for his reaction.
"What??"He said and pretended to be shocked.
"Yeah!! She disappeared last night!"
"Oh." He said nonchalantly and poured himself the cup of coffee he'd been longing to have.
Sarah eyed him curiously. "Oh? That's all you have to say?"
"What do you want me to say?"
Sarah's face went from shameful to between regretful and happy.
"I'm sorry Jack." she said and approached him.
Jack looked at her confused "Sorry about what Sarah?"
For a minute Jack actually considered that Sarah was sorry about Kate gone missing, that his wife actually cared about anyone but herself and her reputation.
"Sorry that I doubted you… When I saw you two on the beach I thought something was going on between you two… but now she's missing and it doesn't even seem to bother you a little…I'm sorry for doubting you." She added with a proud smile.
Jack just stared at his wife not knowing whether to laugh in her face or smack her. Kate was missing and she was happy because it proved nothing was between them?? She actually thought he would cheat on her??
Jack left out the part that Kate was just upstairs and if she wasn't he'd probably be worried sick about her.
"Sarah I would never cheat on you…ever…even with someone like Kate." He knew it was the truth. He may be attracted to someone else and it may have crossed his mind but he'd never cheat on her…EVER.
"I know. I AM very sorry Jack." She said and wrapped him in a hug. "Besides I don't know what I was worried about, you would never cheat on me with a nut-case like her."
"Sarah-"
"No Jack really she's so egoistic! No man would want to stick around her; I don't understand how James does it."
"Sarah stop!"
"Jack its okay you don't have to defend her! No one cares she's missing anyway! They all just want her back because her contracts have a overdue that's all! No one wants a high maintenance overconfident bitch!! Besides I saw her, she's not even that good!"
"Sarah please!! Just shut up will you??!!" Jack lost his temper and Sarah looked at him with a shocked expression."I'm sorry…it's just that you don't know what you're talking about…she's a really nice person" he defended her.
Sarah smiled affectionately at him, "That's my husband…always looking at everyone's good side."
Jack wanted to throw up.
Seriously what's wrong with you Sarah?
"Well I've got to go to the club…the girls are waiting." she said and much to Jack's relief, stood up and left.
"You can come out now Kate." He said after a defeated sigh.
Kate entered from behind the stairs, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.
"Kate I'm so sorry. Sarah doesn't know what she talks about most of the time!"
Kate put her hand up to stop him, "No Jack! Its okay…she's right anyway."
Jack shook his head furiously, "No Kate she not...Many people care about you."
"It doesn't matter lets not talk about it…please can we forget it happened?" she offered with a smile.
"Sure."
For a moment they kept starting into each other's eyes. Both confused about their feelings and both determined not to let the other one know. Kate was the first one to break eye contact.
"Ah…I called Claire, told her I was okay and where I was. She said she'd take care of everything."
"Oh…"Jack said slightly disappointed. He liked the idea of having her here.
"Yeah…so I better get going."She said not making any move to leave.
"Yeah…you know you could stay here for a while…get rid off the hang-over…don't worry Sarah usually doesn't come home early." He suggested.
Please stay!!
Kate smiled. "Yeah…I'd like that."
"So I'll just go across the street and get some breakfast." He said enthusiastically and went to the door.
Kate thought this would be the best time to bring up what she wanted to for a really long time. "Jack? Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Sure."
Kate looked at him for a really long time and then decided against it, "Forget it! It's nothing."
Jack gave her a confused look and shrugged his shoulders. "Okay…just make yourself comfortable."
After 15 minutes the door bell rang and Kate ran to it, thinking it would be Jack she opened the door with a smile.
However her smile soon faded.
Standing in front of her was a tall, beautiful blonde who was eyeing Kate curiously. "Who the hell are you?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Juliet."
