So heres the next chapter and thank you soooo much for the great reviews!!! :D

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."

Juliet kept staring at the woman in front of her. She was too pretty to be their maid and Sarah didn't mention anyone already staying over when she asked if she could live in their guest bedroom for a few days.

She looks awfully familiar. Where have I seen her before???

"Juliet???" Juliet turned around too see Jack staring at her disbelievingly. "What are you doing here???"

"What do you mean 'what are you doing here?'??? Didn't Sarah tell you I was going to be staying here?"Juliet stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Jack was left speechless. He hated the fact that one of Sarah's friends was going to live in the same house but having Juliet there made him hate it a lot more.

Juliet was not just one of Sarah's friends that hit on him…all the time. She was more than that…she was his ex girlfriend.

After a year of their relationship, Jack noticed that Juliet was turning from the sweet and friendly girl he met in med school exactly into the kind of women he hated-arrogant, high maintenance and self centered.

Juliet and Sarah had been friends…best friends in fact. He met Sarah at one of the boring social events Juliet dragged him too. Once they broke up (Him being the one to end it) he maintained his friendship with Sarah, which soon turned into true love…or what he thought, was true love.

Sarah knew that her husband had absolutely no interest in Juliet anymore. In fact she knew he was completely over her! So she kept her friendship with Juliet. What she didn't know was that Juliet was no where near over Jack and seized every opportunity to win him back when Sarah wasn't around.

"Yeah she did…sorry it just slipped my mind." He said with a heart melting smile.

Juliet smiled back at him and when she turned around to Kate again, he shuddered.

"Who is she Jack?" she asked hatefully glaring at Kate.

"Ah…she's just a friend of mine…Who was about to leave…" Jack said the last part sadly as he knew now that Juliet was here he and Kate could no longer hang-out, something he was looking forward too.

Jack made eye contact with Kate and saw the exact disappointment in her eyes.

"Oh…okay then…bye now." Juliet gave her a look telling her to leave.

Kate quickly grabbed her purse and she and Juliet crossed the threshold at the same time as Juliet made her way in and Kate out. As soon as Juliet was out of earshot Jack grabbed Kate's hand and bought her dangerously close to him.

"Take my car." he whispered in her ear and Kate felt him put the keys in her hand.

"No Jack its okay…I'll take a cab." He rolled his eyes, obviously not surprised that she would argue with him on this.

"Kate until five minutes ago you were 'missing' with your car crashed somewhere! I really don't think that you should give the paparazzi an exclusive of you getting out of a cab disheveled face, hair and in last nights clothes!"

Kate raised her eyebrows at him, "Disheveled?"

He chuckle at this, "Don't worry, you still look beautiful." the minute he finished his speech he went inside and gently shut the door, hiding his and missing Kate's shy smile , leaving her to consider what he just said.

Jack's right. Why am I not surprised?

Kate cell started ringing the minute she got in the car. "Hello?"

"Kate! It's Claire! I just wanted to let to you everything is under control and you can come back now! We removed your file from missing persons and called E news! Most people believe it was just a stupid paparazzi stunt…you're lucky it came on early morning and is already off air, I don't think many people saw it. "

"That's great Claire…I'm on my way home now…Just promise me you'll never file a missing person against me!!!"

"I'm sorry Kate; normally I wouldn't freak out so much. I mean you were only gone for a few hours but what happened a few days ago… I just thought that you'd try something like that again."

Great!!! Why does everyone think I'm going to try to kill myself?????.........Again.

"Its okay Claire, don't worry about it…I'm on my way home …just tell the guard to let me in. I'm in a black BMW."

"Ahhh… Kate you don't have a black BMW."

"I know…It's Jacks."

Even though Kate couldn't see her she knew Claire was grinning. "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Claire!!!!" Kate couldn't hold back her laughter anymore.

"Okay okay….but I want details when you get home!"

"There are NO details!!!! I kind off rammed James car in a tree…" Kate trailed of. Even if she was elder to Claire and her boss, she still was very scared of the petite woman.

"WHAT???? What the hell is wrong with you??? Are you hurt???"

"No Claire…Jack helped me and I spent the night at his place that's all!!! Could you please also take care of James's car??"

"Oh yeah sure…anyway get home as soon as possible. I'm still worried."

"Me too…" Kate said after Claire hung-up.

She was worried about leaving Jack with...What's her name…JULIET.

Juliet set her suitcase near the couch and turned around to face him. "So Jack, how have you been??? It's been a long time!!"

Fortunately it has. Jack thought as she continued her beaming smile.

"I've been great Juliet! What about you??" Jack took a seat on the couch and Juliet took a seat a little to close for Jack's comfort.

Jesus!!Why don't you just sit in my lap???

"I've been great!!! …so who was that???" Juliet asked with a jealous tinge.

"Ahhhh…that was just one of Sarah's friends."

"I thought you said she was your friend-"

"Juliet, why are we taking about this??? Come on, why don't I show you to your room??" he added quickly and gave her a charming smile while offering her a hand. Thankfully she forgot all about Kate and took Jack's hand.

"Thank you for letting me stay here Jack. I don't know how will I ever repay you." She said with a coy smile and put her hand on his bicep.

Leave soon!!!

"No problem…lets go."

Much to Jacks disappointment Juliet was carrying a large suitcase- she's not going to leave him for a very long time.

"So, where's Sarah??"

"She went to the club…she usually has breakfast with her friends."

"She leaves you all alone to have breakfast with her friends every morning???" Jack rolled his eyes. Not even fifteen minutes since she arrived and she already started her mission break up Sarah-Jack.

"I can't really blame her; I leave for work pretty early." Jack could honestly say that he felt the desperate need to defend his marriage only in front of Juliet.

"Oh…so you want to go out and get some breakfast??" She added changing the subject immediately.

If Juliet asked this question some other time, Jack would politely decline. But right now he was starving and didn't care who it was with as long as he got some food.

"Sure I already picked up some breakfast before you came."

Juliet finally remembered the unanswered question.

"Oh yeah!! Who was she-?"

"You know what?? Let's go out!! It's a beautiful day!!" He added with enthusiasm like he was bribing a child. Of course Juliet fell for the trap.

"Yeah!!"

Kate parked the BMW in the huge yard of her Spanish villa.

"So this is Jack's car??" Claire gave Kate a lopsided grin.

"We are not talking about this again." Kate groaned and threw the keys at Claire as she got out.

"You have to say he has great taste in models…" Kate raised her eyebrow at Claire, "...car models I mean."Claire smiled innocently.

"Whatever…I could really use a hot bath right now." She said in a barely audible voice.

Claire smile faded a little too quickly and she cleared her throat, "Kate…James called."

"I'll deal with him later…" Claire's eyes widened at her confident tone.

"Kate…he called a few times...He's pretty pissed." Claire said and handed her cell phone.

Kate took the cell phone and became ready for a fight.

"Kate???? Where the hell is my car???" Came James's angry voice through the receiver and for a moment Kate flinched.

"Well judging by the time I'd say…it's being towed."

"WHAT??? Kate what the hell did you do???"

"I had an accident!!"

"What you hit my car???" he asked incredulously.

"Yeah James it's nice to see you care more about your car then me!!!" she yelled.

"I didn't mean that!!! Come on Kate!! It was just an expensive car!!"He tried reasoning with her.

"Whatever...Just send me the bill...I'll take care of it." James could not believe what he was hearing. Kate never talked to him this way before.

"Fine!! I'll do that!!" He yelled and hung up.

Kate let out the breath she didn't even know she was holding. No matter how screwed up her life was she felt proud of herself for standing up to James.

Yup. She could really use a hot bath right now.

Jack and Juliet were sitting on table overlooking the beach at one of his favorite places. She kept on talking about her research that bought her here while Jack just sat quietly and put on a pair of really dark shades so that she wouldn't notice he was looking at the sea and not her.

The only thing that was on his mind was Kate. Her voice, her eyes, her skin, her smile…..

Jack snapped out of his memory by his cell phone ringing.

Kate was lying in the tub while Claire was screaming her schedule from the other room but Kate wasn't listening to a word she was saying. She was too busy thinking about Jack and his offer.

"I'm serious Kate. I can be a good listener. Just let me know when you're ready to talk about last night."

A million things crossed her mind before she picked up her cell that was lying next to her.

Call him!! You know you want too!!!

He's married Kate!!What are you doing!!!

He's the one that offered to listen!!! Just call him!!!

Kate finally shut down her conscience and pressed dial.

"Hello??"

"Jack?? It's Kate."

Jack immediately sat upright which only startled Juliet. Juliet knew that she heard a female voice on the other end and she also saw that it wasn't Sarah's number on the id.

"Hey...I just wanted too-"Kate began but was cut off by someone's cheery voice.

"Jack!!!Put your cell away!! You promised to have breakfast with me!!!"Juliet pouted and smiled knowing that there was no doubt that the women on the other end heard it.

Kate didn't know what to say. By the look of it she just interrupted a personal outing- with Juliet.

Jack was also speechless. He wanted to punch Juliet in the face.

What the hell must Kate be thinking????

"You know what just forget it…I'm sorry for disturbing you." Kate said and hung up.

"Kate no wait..." It was useless…she already hung up.

Juliet looked at him with an innocent face, " So who was that??"

What do you think ??? :D
