---------------------------------------------
10 minutes left, this period had already been dragging in, Kate sat back in her seat and sighed last period on a Friday always did. She stared around the class, tapping her fingers on the desk and was brought out of her day dream when she heard Miss Rousseau speaking to her "Katherine?! Am I boring you? You seem to be tuned to the moon?" Kate laughed then abruptly stopped when she saw her disapproving look. "Sorry Miss Rousseau… won't happen again" she nodded and faced back towards the board. At the corner of her eye she caught Shannon staring at her, she turned her head slightly and nodded to ask what was up. Shannon scrunched her eyebrows together and mouthed you okay. Kate licked her bottom lip and nodded with a smile; Shannon stared at her for a few minutes and smiled back.
Honestly Kate wasn't okay, well she was but something was nagging at her brain, it had been for the past two weeks. Sawyer had been away for three days and once he came back he was distant and cold for a few days and every time she asked he either changed the subject quickly or he pushed her away by being angry. She felt down because she had opened up and told him a few things from her past with her mom and her mom's boyfriend because they were getting closer but a lot of the time she asked him he never answered. She looked up to the clock and noticed there were a few minutes left before she could get out of school, she put a few of her things in her bag and the bell rang. She stood up and smiled brightly as she followed Shannon out of the stuffy classroom and outside to get home.
Kate and Shannon were dancing and singing along with the radio in Kate's room as she packed her things for staying at Juliet's tonight. Kate was stuffing her pyjamas into her backpack when Shannon picked up one of her nightwear items and smirked "Why don't you were this tonight?" she was holding up a Satin nightdress, Kate looked at her for a moment then rolled her eyes "Why, am I stripping tonight? If not I don't think so" Shannon laughed "Why not? It'll make a great impression on Sawyer" she smoothed out her voice whilst saying his name and winked. Kate stared at her with an icy expression "What? I bet he'll like it" she said innocently, Kate rolled her eyes "yeah probably" Shannon sat beside Kate on the bed "What's that matter?" Kate looked down "I don't know… it seems like he doesn't want me to be near him or something" Shannon nodded "I think he still likes you though… ask him tonight?" Kate shook her head "I don't think he does… but I might ask him… but please be standing by incase it goes badly" she laughed and Shannon smiled at her "of course I'll be there"
---------------------------------------------
"Hey there" Juliet said cheerily as she answered the door "Come on in" Kate and Shannon smiled and entered the house, Juliet pointed towards upstairs so they could put there bags away. They entered the guest room and put there bags beside the double bed "Guess this is our room tonight then?" Kate asked with a giggle, Shannon smiled approvingly and nodded. They headed back down the stairs and took a seat on the sofa. Jack and Claire were already there, the only person that was missing was Sawyer, Kate felt a bit sad that he hadn't shown up yet déjà vu she thought with a smile… only this time she hoped nothing bad would come between them. Kate got up and went into the kitchen to get a drink; she mixed some Vodka with Coke and stirred to make sure it was completely combined.
"Hello there" a deep voice rang out in the quiet kitchen; Kate swivelled around quickly startled by the voice. A tall brown haired man with greyish eyes was smiling at her and she gingerly smiled back at him; he started towards her extending his hand towards her "I'm Ethan… Jules is my sister" Kate slowly shook his hand and smiled "cool… I'm Kate" he nodded and gave her a lop sided grin "Very nice to meet you Kate" she blinked and nodded "you too… Ethan" He slipped his hand away from hers and went over to the freezer to get some ice for his drink "so Ethan… how old are you?" he tilted his head towards her and said "good old 24" he smiled and laughed as did she. As Kate reached up into the cupboard to get the straws she caught her hand on a ragged piece of the wood and a splice pierced her skin.
Groaning in pain she pulled her hand back and cupped it with her other one. Ethan stepped over to her and softly pulled her hand towards the light "ooh… that's in deep… would you like me to get it?" Kate nodded "Yeah… quickly though" he smiled and yanked the splinter out swiftly and Kate bit her lip and smiled at him "Thanks" he turned her hand to assess the damage then placed a small kiss on the red patch of skin "all better?" he asked kindly, she smiled and replied "Yeah".
Sawyer entered the house and looked around at who was there; he scrunched his eyebrows together as he didn't see Kate among the people lying across the living room. He smiled and nodded at everyone; Juliet raised her eyebrow and mouthed "She's in the kitchen", his face brightened up slightly and mouthed "thank you" back to her. He started to walk to the kitchen and once he got there he saw Ethan kissing Kate hand, he focused his glare on his older cousin and said "What y'all doin in here?" Ethan spun around slowly and Kate's eyes fell on Sawyer. He tilted his head and smiled, Kate smiled and replied "splinter… thanks to Ethan it's gone now" she turned her hand to face him and he laughed. Ethan walked over to Sawyer and pulled him into a man-hug "How ya been James?" Sawyer patted him on his back and said "good… you?" Ethan grinned and nodded "same… well, I'll be back later goin to see someone"
Both of them nodded and watched Ethan exit through the kitchen door and a few minutes later they heard the front door get shut. They both looked around the kitchen for a few minutes and as there gaze fell on each other they smiled and Kate walked over to Sawyer and wrapped her arms around him. She smiled when he wrapped his arms around her and tightened his grip pulling her closer, his cheek lay on top of her head and he said softly "How are ya freckles?" she smiled and she slurred slightly "I'm okay…" she could feel him vibrate as he chuckled, he placed his hands on her head lightly and pulled her head backwards and smirked "How much have you had to drink?" she smiled and replied "a few glasses of Vodka and Coke" he raised his eyebrow at her "Vodka? What happened to beer missy? Y'know the light stuff" she laughed and leaned her face into his hand "felt like a change misterrr"
He smiled and looked into her eyes, she smiled back up at him and was closing the gap between them but suddenly stopped once the door was opened and someone brushed past them. Shannon acted nonchalant as she poured herself another drink and turned around when they were both staring at her, she smiled "Oh… hope I'm not interrupting anything…" Kate glanced over to her and smiled, Sawyer shook his head "Nope… just getting myself a drink" he smiled and separated from Kate and headed towards the liquor cabinet. He fixed himself a Jack and Coke and got down the straws for Kate once she asked for them, they took there drinks and headed for the living room and Shannon followed behind them smirking all the way.
---------------------------------------------
Everyone had spent the last three hours surfing through the music channels and they ended up watching Silent Hill as it was just starting on one of the movie channels, the pizza's had arrived and they spread them on the floor for anyone to help themselves. Jack and Juliet were huddled together on the smaller sofa, Claire was sitting on the floor leaning against the chair which had Ethan occupying it and Shannon was sitting beside Kate, who was leaning into Sawyer on the larger sofa. Sawyer was enjoying how close Kate was to him and when something came out on screen she leaned closer into him trying to shield herself from the movie. Occasionally she would shift her gaze towards him and smile sweetly and quickly look away again, the film finished around half two in the morning and everyone decided to go to bed.
Kate had changed into her pyjama's and went back into the guest room where Claire and Shannon were already lying in the big double bed smiling at her, she walked in suspiciously and said "What?!" Shannon's smiled got wider as she said innocently "Sawyers looking for you… wants to talk? He's in the parents' room kay…" Kate nodded and as she began to walk out the door Shannon shouted "If your not back in 20 minutes, we'll take it your staying with him then" Kate turned her head around and glared at them as they both laughed. She walked down the corridor and stopped outside of the room that Sawyer was in, she paused for a moment before knocking lightly and entering. When she got in she noticed him standing by the window in only his jeans, the night light from outside flooded through the window highlighting all the contours of his body. She shut the door and then clicked the lock, shutting them in.
She smiled appreciatively at the view and walked towards him. He felt her hands slip around and caress his stomach "Shan said you wanted me?" he nodded and rotated in her grasp till he was facing her "yeah, wanted to talk to you about something" he nodded towards the bed and they both climbed on top getting comfortable. He smiled and looked down "I wanted to say I'm sorry… for being a jackass to you recently" A smiled spread across her face "It's okay… if I didn't keep moaning at you to share things, then you wouldn't have been a jackass" he played with a strand of her hair and shook his head "Nah… its my fault really… I guess I should tell you… its only fair" she placed her head on the pillow and looked up into his eyes "No… you don't have to explain anything, your allowed to have your secrets…" he smiled at her kindly
"Yeah, but I wanna tell ya…" he took a deep breath and continued "November 2nd… is the anniversary of when my parents died… me and my uncle went down ta Alabama ta see there gravesite, he's always takes me…" her throat tightened as she listened to his sad tone "and 'Sawyer' is my real dad… he got into trouble just after I was born and went ta jail… my mom wanted nothing to do with him, so she married someone else and he pretended to be my biological father, but Sawyer came back when I was 7 and messed something's up" she stroked his face lightly with her thumb "… so I found out that I had another dad, the thing is Sawyer was more of a dad to me in those months he was in my life than Benjamin was… but they ended up in a car crash when Benjamin had enough and tried to get him outta our lives" he took another deep breath that was layered with emotion "they died… and I just… I resent them, they tried to take away my real dad for selfish reasons… and got them all killed"
His eyes were glazed over from unshed tears, but he refused to let them fall, he didn't want to cry over them. Kate leaned over and pressed her lips against his for a moment to try to take the pain away, he smiled at her attempts "so… I'm sorry, it's just…" she nodded her head "Yeah, I understand… but why did you tell me?" he shut his eyes to dry the unshed tears then opened them again and replied "I wanted you to know… I wanna let you in" she smiled and placed a kiss on his chest and laid her head upon it. He was stroking her hair away from her face and he tipped her head upwards so he could look at her "What happened with Jason?" she froze for a second "…Jack told you didn't he?" he nodded, and looked at her to urge her to continue "it was nothing… he was just trying to scare me" he nodded "that all?" she smiled weakly "yeah that's it… why are you so interested in my safety? I don't think I've met anyone who cares more than you" he stared into her eyes and took a deep breath "because I love you"
She looked up to his face, she saw him look sort of scared? She smiled and shifted her weight so she was slightly on top of him and she leaned up and kissed him for the second time that night. She tilted her head to kiss him more easily, she broke the kiss and stared into his eyes "…James… I love you too" He leaned his head up to kiss her, as his tongue slid over her bottom lip, he shifted positions so that she was lying on her back and he held her head up higher with his arm. She opened her mouth to accept his tongue and they clashed and fought each other, her hand was in his hair playing with the strands and his hand has traced her curves and landed on her hip. The kiss deepened and they eventually stopped to catch their breath, he rested his forehead on hers and they took in the air that they had been deprived of, she looked into his eyes and smiled. Kate leaned up and placed innocent kisses on his neck and collar bone as her had slid down to his fly and slowly unzipped it.
Sawyer went rigid as she zipped his jeans down and popped the button; his hand circled her wrist and pulled her hand out beside them. He caught her attention and she stared up at him, she gave him a genuine happy smile and she kissed his jaw "Kate…" she stopped and looked at him quizzically, he sighed "Are you sure?" keeping her gaze on his she slowly nodded. He nodded with her and whispered "Okay" she placed her hands on the waistband of his jeans and slowly pushed them lower on his hips till he wriggled free from them. His hands brushed her stomach lightly as he took a hold of her pyjama top and pulled it over her head, he dropped it on the floor and he leaned down to kiss her again. She placed her hand over his and pushed it down to her shorts, where he hooked onto the side and slid them down as she did with his jeans.
They took each others underwear off with equal slowness, kissing each other lightly as they did so. Sawyer climbed in between her opened legs and looked down at her "…Are you defiantly sure?" she smiled and pushed some of his hair away from his face "Yes. Defiantly" she smiled and kissed him as he entered her. He slid into her with ease, which he wasn't suspecting, he looked at her closed eyes and whispered Kate and she looked up with lust in her eyes, she licked her bottom lip and he covered his mouth with hers in a passionate kiss as he increased his thrusts. He removed his mouth from hers and placed feather light kisses down her cheek and onto her neck, he tightened his mouth as he kissed and sucked her delicate skin. They moaned in pleasure till they found there release and Sawyer lay on top of Kate catching his breath. After a few minutes he slowly pulled out of her and lay on his back, he pulled kates arm so that she rolled over and lay half on top of him, he slipped his arm around her pulling her close and kissed the top of her head.
They moved and got underneath the bedcovers getting back into the previous position. He stroked her hair thinking about what just happened between them… they admitted that they loved each other and made love for the first time. Sawyer smiled and kissed her hair again "Freckles… I have ta ask ya something" Kate's grip tightened very little on him and she looked up at him "… yeah, I wasn't a virgin" he nodded "the thing is… I thought ya were… y'know the whole Tom situation…" a smiled twitched at her lips and she planted a kiss on his chest "Yeah… my first time wasn't exactly special… when I was fourteen that's all my friends would talk about, what age they were and who they done it with… so I done it to fit in" she paused for a breath and laughed sadly "sad thing is I cant remember his name… but… being with you… made it feel like my first time" she looked away trying to avoid his gaze.
He stared to the ceiling overwhelmed by what she was saying, he smiled and tipped her head up so her eyes connected with his. "So… how was your first time?" he said sweetly and raised his eyebrow. She laughed and pressed her lips against his "Perfect" she whispered. Kate placed a kiss on his neck and laid her head on his chest, not long after they fell asleep in each others arms.
---------------------------------------------
A cool breeze blew over her back waking her out of her sleep. Kate slowly opened her eyes and adjusted them to the bright room, her gaze fell on a smiling Sawyer "Mornin Freckles" he whispered. Kate's smile grew bigger "good morning" she whispered back, he leaned over and kissed her sweetly. Kate stretched her arms and rolled onto her back, she suddenly realised that she wasn't wearing anything… she blushed deeply and pulled the covers up to her neck. Sawyer laughed "What? I'm self conscious okay" she said feeling her red hot cheeks. He gave her a quizzical glance "why? I've seen you naked before" he winked; Kate rolled her eyes and replied "because I just am… I mean… look at me" His gaze traveled down the shape of her body and he smirked "I think yer just fine… beautiful even" her cheeks reddened again and she pushed his arm "shut up" he laughed and said "okay"
Sawyer went in for a shower in the en suite bathroom whilst Kate got changed back into her pyjamas and went downstairs. She walked through the empty living room and caught a glance at herself in the mirror; scrunching her eyebrows together she walked closer to it brushing her fingers over her neck I'm going to kill him she said quietly as she observed the reddish purple mark on her neck. She laughed silently and headed for the kitchen, she stepped through the door and saw jack leaning against the kitchen counter in only his boxers with a coffee in hand. He smiled at her as she passed by him and raided the fridge for something to eat and some juice. "How are you this morning Kate?" jack asked politely, she glanced and smiled at him "I'm good thanks… you?"
He took a sip of his coffee and replied "I'm great thanks… take it you had a good night then" he nodded towards the mark on her neck, she coloured slightly and half hid it with her hand "Uh… yeah… was good" she stumbled being a little bit embarrassed, Jack laughed and nodded. "You the only one that's up?" Kate asked trying to change the subject, Jack shook his head "Nah, Juliet's in a shower and I think I heard Claire and Shannon giggling… so that means its just Sawyer that's asleep" Kate nodded and smiled "James' in a shower the now" he smiled and looked towards the door when Juliet came through wrapped only in a towel. Jacks face lit up and he pulled her close whispering things to her, Kate opened her eyes slightly and quickly walked back up to the room so she could get ready.
Once everyone was ready they all sat in the living room till Jack and Sawyer had to leave, Kate was standing by the front door with Sawyer, all the girls had there eyes glued on them, watching their every movement. "We're being watched Freckles" he whispered to her, Kate glanced quickly to the girls sitting in the living room "Yeah, I'm going to get bombarded with questions when you leave by the way" he smirked "well… have fun then" Kate rolled her eyes and pushed his arm a bit. Sawyer pulled her into a hug, pulling her tighter when she wrapped her arms around him. Breathing in each others scents they stood still for what seemed like hours but had actually only been a few minutes "See ya later freckles" he said quietly, she smiled and replied "Yeah, see you soon" and leaned up to catch his lips with hers. They both could feel the girls smiling widely from the other room, once they pulled apart Sawyer stepped over to the left and gave the three grinning girls a lop sided smirk before kissing Kate one last time as he left the house with Jack.
Kate had a smile plastered on her face as she shut the door and walked back into the living room. She sat on the sofa and faced Claire, Shannon and Juliet "What?" she asked quietly, Shannon raised her eyebrow and replied "So… how did you get that hickey anyways?" Kate rolled her eyes "Oh My God… It must have magically appeared there" she opened her mouth in fake shock then laughed. Shannon and Claire looked to each other then looked back at Kate "So, talking must not have been the only thing you did last night eh?" Claire asked slyly. Kate stared at them giving nothing away, their faces softened then a grin appeared "Kate! Seriously? Oh My God!"
Shannon exclaimed in shock, Kate bit her lip and nodded shyly, Claire and Shannon squealed with delight, they rushed over and sat either side of her "You have to tell us everything! We want all the details" Claire said, Juliet stood up and said quickly "Okay… I'll go make something… I don't really want to hear about my cousins' sex life okay" she laughed and went into the kitchen, Claire and Shannon got more comfortable on the sofa "guys, there isn't much to tell" Kate said not really interested with this particular conversation. Shannon laughed and said "There's always something to tell, now out with it Austen" Kate rolled her eyes and sighed, she sat back onto the large cushion and told them most of the things that happened last night, excluding some of the personal conversations that had been discussed.
