a/n: I really like this one. Here's a bit of backstory just in case it confuses you a little: Claire and Desmond have become closer, they start to get feelings for each other, the whole camp can tell. Claire's fed up of just flirting, she wants Desmond for real (can you blame her?). Oh, and again thank-you for all those lovely reviews!
That was it. She'd had enough. That last flirty wink had been enough to send her over the edge. She bundled Aaron up in her arms and quickly handed him to a startled Sun who had been heading Claire's way. "Thanks," she mumbled as she stormed off in the direction of the kitchen area where a group of men were talking.
Out of the corner of his eye Hurley saw Claire striding towards them with a face like thunder. He coughed to alert the attention of the other guys as it seemed that one of them was going to fall prey to her wrath. He silently prayed that it wasn't him.
They all turned around to face her. Good, they were going to bare witness. Closest to her was Desmond, who wore a confused but concerned look on his. 'The nerve of him!' she thought. She stopped dead in front of the Scotsman and grabbed him by the collar. Pulling him down to her she met his lips in a kiss, good, hard and proper.
At first Desmond was in shock that she seemed so angry. He'd thought everything was going well between them. When he flirted with her she flirted back for crying out loud! What had he done to upset- But he never got to finish that thought as his mind was sent reeling as she kissed him. Once the initial surprise wore off he eased into it and wrapped an arm around her waist.
All too sooner than he would've like she broke the kiss but they stayed in that position for a few moments more. He looked down at her, still not quite sure what had just happened.
Satisfied by the confusion she saw in his eyes, Claire released herself from his grip and walked off back in the direction of her tent. She took her baby back off Sun and thanked her again. Sun, having seen the recent event, just smiled in a knowing way and left.
Desmond glanced around at the other men, all of who seemed to be smirking back at him, then towards Claire's tent where she was laying Aaron down in his cot. Smiling, he set off in the direction that the lovely Australian girl had left just moments earlier.
