-December 28th -
Kate was sitting on the barstool in her kitchen flicking through the TV magazine, seeing what holiday movies was playing so she would know if there were any ones that were good. Sighing, she closed over the magazine and slid it across the countertop. She was still troubled by what her mom had written a few days previously, she wanted to know if she was okay, but the last time she tried to phone her house, it said the phone was disconnected. She tried not to worry, Diane said not too in the letter… she was on antibiotics after all, but Kate was still upset because it could be life threatening. Even though she never kept in touch with her mom all that often, it didn't trump the fact that she was still her mom, that she had cared for her since she was a baby… and still did.
Seeing that the coffee was ready, Kate got up slowly and poured herself a mug full "Katie pour one for me please" her dad's voice rang out as he entered the house, Kate smiled at him and got another mug, pouring more of the scalding liquid inside. Sam shrugged off his jacket and placed it on the hook; he walked into the kitchen and smiled at Kate as he lifted the mug to his lips. Kate sat back down on the barstool and placed the mug down carefully, she didn't know how to bring her moms condition up, would she make light of it? Break down saying it? Or just act normal? Sighing deeply she looked up at Sam, who was looking out of the window at the snow. "Daddy…" she said quietly. Sam moved around so he was facing her and he smiled but seeing her worried face, he walked closer and sat on the seat beside her.
"What is it Katie?" he said placing his hand over hers, Kate smiled weakly at him and said "Mom told me something in that letter… she said she has septicaemia…" Sam nodded sadly and said "You know, septicaemia can be cured… antibiotics are used… so she may be okay" Kate smiled and said "I know… but im still worried, I hate to think of her being Ill and alone there" Sam took a sip of his coffee and replied bitterly "Wayne's there honey" Kates eyes closed into a glare as she said acidicly "Yeah… but I doubt he'll care for her" Even though Sam agreed with Kate, that Wayne only cared for himself, he still had to defend him "Katie, he probably does care" Sam said things like this to reassure himself that he hadn't left his ex-wife in the hands of an uncaring, nasty man, even if she does love him. They both sat back in their seats and sighed deeply, hoping that Diane would get better soon.
----------------------------------------------
Sawyer stepped into his kitchen and was greeted with his aunt hugging him tightly. "Happy Birthday James" Sawyer smiled gingerly and walked over to the fridge, taking a large gulp of the cranberry juice that he pulled out. His aunt and uncle stood side by side and smiled at him, his uncle spoke up "James… we didn't know what to get ya, so here's a $500 cheque… now that your eighteen, you get the rights to use the cash your parents left you and here's all the details you need for that" they handed him the cheque and the documents. James smiled and said "Thanks" he glanced over the documents and read them carefully; he was planning to use some money from that for tonight. Sawyer's birthday happened to be on the Fourteen of February- Valentines Day. He never really liked his birthday, so he wanted to treat Kate to a lot tonight.
"Any plans tonight with Kate?" his aunt asked, Sawyer grinned and replied "Of course, told her it was gonna be a surprise… so don't expect me home" His uncle laughed and slapped him on the back "You really are a Ford, boy" Sawyer laughed along. He got up and went upstairs to find all the information he needs to set things up for tonight. He browsed the internet for flower shops and restaurants that delivered, he found the phone number for the hotel he wanted and called them. "Yeah… tonight… one night only, preferable a large suite with a kitchen and dining place… what? Oh ya have penthouse suites? Kay, how much are they? $850? Kay, yeah that'll be fine, Ford… I'll be by later. Thanks" he hung up the phone and smiled, today should be amazing. He jumped into the shower and quickly got ready to go to the bank.
Sawyer arrived at school and grimaced at the red streamers and balloons that were splattered across the school yard; someone had gone overboard and had the time of their lives by the look of it. He got out of his car and headed for the inside of the school, everywhere he looked was couples either hugging or eating the faces of each other, he spotted a bored looking Kate standing picking at her nails whilst Shannon and Sayid made out on her left and Jack and Juliet doing the same on her right. Kate glanced up and saw a smirking Sawyer swagger towards her, she started walking towards him, which increased to a light run and she threw her arms around him, getting as close as she could. "Happy Birthday" she whispered against his ear and a moment later she said "Happy Valentines Day too"
Sawyer smiled and said "Yeah Happy Valentines to you too". He leaned down and kissed her lightly, Kates tongue slid over his bottom lip making him open his mouth, accepting her gentle tongue. Kate smiled at him sweetly as she pulled back and rested her nose against his, leaning over to her bag she pulled out a birthday card and handed it too him "here" she said with a little smile, Sawyer smiled and kissed her again as he slid the card into his backpack. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and started to walk towards the others "Still up for tonight freckles?" Kate smiled and replied "Yeah, if you tell me what were doing I could dress properly for the occasion" Sawyer grinned and whispered "doesn't matter what ya wear darlin… your hot no matter what" Kate blushed lightly and nudged his shoulder.
"It's a surprise… so you'll find out, oh and pack for overnight" he smirked at her; Kate eyed him suspiciously and said "Okay…" he chuckled and kissed her temple. "Doing anything special you two?" Kate said to Juliet and Shannon, they both grinned, Juliet said "Jack's taking me to a restaurant" and Shannon said "Movies…" She looked towards Sayid and he winked at her. The guys looked between each other with a smirk, trying to out do the other "What you doing Kate?" Shannon asked. Kate grinned widely and replied "Don't know, it's a surprise" she glanced at Sawyer who was grinning proudly. Jack laughed and said "So, Eighteen? You realise Kate is Jailbait right?" Both Sawyer and Kate glared at Jack, he raised his hands in surrender and laughed loudly, all the rest of them laughed along, feeling the glare coming from the couple.
----------------------------------------------
The clip clop of high heels walking across the cold floor got louder as they slowed down. Sawyer groaned and shut his locker and glanced at Colleen, who was leaning against the locker beside his with a smirk on her face. "Colleen?" he asked with little patience. Colleen leaned over, intentionally giving him a more than needed view of her cleavage "Just came to say Happy Valentines day" Sawyer forced a smile and said "Yeah, well you too" She grinned and got closer to him, she smacked a kiss on his lips and said "See ya later" as she walked past him, she grabbed more than a handful of his jean clad ass. Sawyer groaned impatiently and watched her walk away, she blew him a kiss and strut off, shaking her hips side to side, making her mini skirt sway dangerously up her backside, giving everyone a view of her panties.
Sawyer glared at her back, she was becoming annoying, she hinted at sex at the Christmas party. He would never cheat on Kate, he knew that she didn't deserve anything like that, but Colleen didn't seem to mind that he was in a relationship… she was used to getting what she wanted, as most people wanted her anyway. Sawyer sighed and turned around to go to the cafeteria when he saw Kate at the end of the lockers in that block. She was rigid and looked as if she could breathe fire, he walked cautiously up to her and smiled, he leaned in to kiss her lips but she moved her head and he caught her cheek. Sawyer groaned and said nastily "What? I didn't do anything" Kate sighed and gingerly smiled "It was all her I know" she began to walk away when he grabbed her arm and spun her around so she was facing him.
Sawyer let go of her arm and lightly rubbed it "Kate, I'd never do anything ta hurt ya" Kate closed her eyes and smiled weakly, she walked into him, so her head was lying on his chest, his arms came around her and pulled her tighter. Kate murmured against his chest "I know… I just got jealous… and she's such a cow, so it will make it worse" Sawyer smiled lightly. Kate placed her hands on his chest and pushed her self off of him slightly, she looked up to his eyes and said "I'm sorry, im being dramatic" she tilted her head and kissed him affectionately. Sawyers arm went around her waist and he smiled down at her "Its okay sweetpea" Kate smiled greatly at his answer. "Let's go get the rest of the lovebirds' kay?" Sawyer said amusingly. Kate laughed and nodded, so they slowly walked towards the cafeteria.
----------------------------------------------
"Pick ya up at seven, kay?" Sawyer murmured against Kate's lips. Kate nodded and kissed him again, she squeezed her arms around him and let him go as he got into his car and drove off. Kate's eyes followed his car till it was out of sight; she smiled and walked over to Shannon who was waving goodbye to Sayid. Both of them grinned at each other and began to walk in the direction of their house. "So have you any idea what Sawyer's planning?" Shannon asked with interest. Kate shook her head "He hasn't given me any hints… and I'd rather not know anything, more of a surprise… and I wouldn't waste my time trying to guess" Shannon smiled and said "So… do you think it will something completely, utterly amazing?" Kate laughed and replied mockingly "Anything he does will be completely, utterly amazing" Shannon rolled her eyes and pushed Kate's shoulder. Kate whacked away Shannon's arm and stuck her tongue out at her.
"Think you'll have an amazing night?" Kate asked her, Shannon smiled widely and nodded "Yeah, he says he's just taking me to the movies but he's been acting suspicious, making phone calls that he doesn't want me to hear… so I think there may be more too it" Kate grinned and said "cool" Shannon eyed Kate with a sly glint and she said playfully "So… you'll need what… A dozen or so boxes of condoms?" Kate closed her eyes and laughed "No… I got the morning after pill a few days ago actually" Shannon grinned "So you're planning on having wild sex all night then?" Kate glared at her playfully "No… just incase I do need it" Shannon looked at her mockingly and nodded "yeah, yeah… you'll need it" Kate threw her head back and laughed "Come on… lets just get home" Shannon smirked and said "…Okay then" as she caught up with Kate and walked beside her all the way to their house.
----------------------------------------------
Sayid had surprised Shannon with a pink diamond bracelet and a bouquet of roses as he took her to the cinema; he waited on her hand and foot during their whole evening at the cinema. Once the movie was over, he took her to his car and drove with her, during the journey he asked her to put a blindfold on. Shannon smiled as she wrapped the material around her eyes, she sat back in the seat and listened out incase she heard any noises she recognised. They had been driving for roughly twenty minutes then the road became bumpy and the sound of gravel was heard crunching under the tyres. The car came to a halt and Shannon heard Sayid slam his door shut, a few moments later he took her hand and he helped her get out of the car. Sayid wrapped his arm around Shannon's waist and directed her over to a spot on the field.
Sayid removed the blindfold and whispered "surprise" Shannon gasped and looked around, they were in a small field with many twinkly lights and a blanket placed down with a picnic basket lying in the middle. Shannon leaned over and kissed Sayid, he walked her over to the blanket and they sat down. The night was warm and the sunset was beautiful, Shannon loved romanticism… and Sayid was being as romantic as he could, her love for him grew bigger as he was being the most loving person she had ever met. They were lying on the blanket, Sayid had his arms wrapped around Shannon and they were watching the stars twinkle brightly on the dark sky, Shannon rolled over so she was facing Sayid and she kissed him gently "I love you" she smiled shyly and he kissed her back, whispering "I love you too" They sighed deeply and went back to watching the stars, wrapped in each others arms.
----------------------------------------------
Juliet shrugged off her coat and handed it to a waiter, as did Jack. They were escorted to their table and they sat down. The restaurant was fancy; Juliet looked around the interior… deep mahogany walls and deep red drapes, wooden floor, with a pianist sitting in the corner waiting for a request as he played the common sheet music he had. There was a large fireplace up at the end of the hall brightly burning, making the room cozy. Juliet looked back towards Jack who was smiling at her sweetly, the waiter came back with expensive table wine and poured some out into the wine glasses sitting in the middle of the table, they looked through the menu and ordered there preferred starter, main course and dessert. Waiting for the starter to arrive they made small talk and laughed about random things that were brought up.
After the meal was over, Jack picked up a fancy bag that was sitting at his feet and handed it to Juliet. Inside the bag was something- box shaped, wrapped up in paper and a smaller velvet box. Juliet smiled and plucked out the smaller box, opening it… inside was Platinum Earrings with Silver jewels encrusting them, Juliet gasped and looked up to Jack "Oh, they're gorgeous!" Jack smiled proudly and she went back into the bag, opening the other box. She sat the box on the table and carefully opened the paper, sliding out the box. Lifting the lid, she revealed a pair of Silver Christian Loubouton stiletto shoes. Juliet squeed lightly and picked one of the shoes out of the box, twisting and turning it, to look at all the details… they were here favourite shoes, of all time. Placing it back in with the other one, she got up and went to Jack's side of the table, kissing him sweetly and saying "I love you" Jack smiled deeply and his hand cupped her face as he kissed her back lovingly.
----------------------------------------------
"Katie… you are going to school tomorrow aren't you?" Sam asked eyeing her suspiciously. Kate smiled and nodded "Yeah, I left all my school work in my locker, so I wont need my bag" Sam nodded and pulled her into a hug "Have a good time sweetie" Kate smiled widely and replied "Thank you daddy" The doorbell rang, Kate answered the door to reveal a smiling Sawyer standing on the step. Kate hugged him and kissed his cheek lightly "Katie, can I speak to James for a moment please?" Sam asked walking over to the door, Kate nodded wearily and went down to the car. Sawyer smiled nervously at Kate's dad, he was giving out an aura of authority and threatening vibes, Sam stopped in front of James and looked down "Have a good time with Katie tonight…" he leaned down and whispered "but remember James… hurt her… I hurt you, okay?"
Sawyer's eyes opened in slight shock at Sam's threatening words and he slowly nodded "Of course sir" Sam smiled sweetly and slapped Sawyer's shoulder "Now, go have a good time" Sawyer smiled quickly and practically ran back to his car, he drove away slowly to make sure the wrath of Daddy Austen didn't come after him. Once they were a suitable distance away, he let out the breath he held in and he smiled at Kate. Kate eyed him and said "He spoke to you didn't he?" Sawyer chuckled and glanced at her "if ya call it that, then yeah freckles… he did" Kate laughed and looked out at the passing streets before her. Kate's eyebrows scrunched together as Sawyer pulled up in front of a hotel "What we doing here James?" she asked curiously, Sawyer just smirked at her and got out of the car.
They reached one of the highest floors in the hotel and they stepped out of the elevator. Sawyer took her hand and led her towards one of the doors down the end of the hall; he swiped the key card and opened the door slightly. He took Kate's overnight bag from her and put it on his shoulder as he covered her eyes with his hands. He slowly walked them into the room and Kate heard the door get shut, she walked a few steps and heard him whisper "open yer eyes" Kate done as she was told and she gasped at the scene in front of her… There was a table set up in the dining area with lots of candles and a meal laid out and a bottle of champagne sitting in the cooler. There was rose petals scattered across the floor around the table, then a trail that led to the back of the penthouse room.
Kate spun around and smiled at Sawyer "Happy Valentines Day Kate" he whispered as he planted his mouth on hers. He kissed her again lightly and murmured "aint I a romantic" Kate giggled and kissed him again "definitely" Sawyer took her hand and helped her into her seat, he swung his arm out to the side and curtsied as he poured some of the champagne into both of there glasses. Kate laughed and took a sip; he sat down and took a sip of his. They devoured there meal as they both hadn't ate much that day, they made small talk and they finished the bottle of champagne. Sawyer slid over a small box to Kate and she slid another box over to him. Kate opened the box, inside was a white gold ring with her birthstone sitting sparkling in the middle, she slid it on the ring finger on her right hand and viewed it.
"I love it James, it's beautiful" she said in awe, Sawyer smiled and opened the gift from her… it was a thick silver bracelet. He grinned and put it on his wrist, Kate smiled as he seemed genuinely happy with the gift. "I love it… thanks freckles" they got up and Kate slid into his embrace, holding him tight. She leaned up and kissed his throat and looked back down to the floor "Where do the petals go?" she asked looking at their direction, she felt him chuckle and he said "I'll show ya". He slid his arm around her waist and walked with her following the trail of rose petals. They stopped outside one of the doors and Sawyer grinned at her as he pushed open the door and used the dimmer switch to light the room faintly. Kate's mouth fell open into a smile… he had ran a bubble bath and had more candles to light up the room.
"So how about a fun little bath?" he said whispering in her ear and giving it a light kiss. Kate leaned into the kiss and said "Okay" Sawyer led her into the middle of the bathroom and pulled his shirt over his head, leaving it on the bar style handle of the shower door. Kate kicked off her shoes, as did Sawyer; he pulled off his socks and sat them in his boots. Quickly undoing his belt and zipping the fly down on his jeans, he was standing only in his boxers. He eyed Kate who looked a bit nervous "Y'okay freckles?" she smiled at him and said "I'm a bit self-conscious about my body" Sawyer laughed and walked towards her "I've seen ya naked before…" Kate laughed weakly and said "yeah, but we were doing other things at the time…" sensing she was still a bit scared, he hugged her and slowly zipped down the back of her dress. He kissed her lightly as he slid the dress off of her body and let it hit the floor.
His hands slid down to her waist and he caressed the skin at her hips, smiling down at her, he leaned in and kissed her neck. Kate's hands went to the waistband of his boxers; she hooked her fingers inside of the material and slowly pulled them down as he got rid of her bra. Kicking off his boxers once they landed at his feet, he kissed Kate again as he slid his fingers into her panties and slowly pulled them down. Once she was naked, Kate smiled at him but stopped what she was doing and left the room, Sawyer stood there wondering where she went… a few moments later she came back in and showed him a bobble before tying her hair into a bun. Kate walked towards Sawyer and took his hand and slid it around her waist, she placed a hand on his cheek and she leaned in and kissed him quickly.
Sawyer smiled and waved his hand in the direction of the large bathtub, he helped her get in and sit down before he done the same in the opposite side. They both sunk into the tub, letting the warm water caress their bodies, Kate laid her legs on top of Sawyers to get comfortable. They sat in a peaceful silence for a while, Kate opened her eyes and set her sight on Sawyer, he was lying peacefully with his eyes closed. She sat up straighter and ran her hand up his thigh, stroking his skin lightly; Sawyer lazily opened his eyes and smirked at her. Kate smirked back and sat back in her previous position. "This was a nice idea James" she said swirling a patch of water with her finger, Sawyer tipped his head to the side and replied "yeah, it is" Kate stood up and slowly faced the other way, sitting down in between Sawyer's legs.
He slid his arms around her waist and clasped his hands together, pulling her onto his chest. He leaned forward and placed wet kisses on her shoulder and up her neck, Kate closed her eyes and she smiled. She turned her body slightly and she planted her mouth on his, kissing him again, she ran her tongue in between his lips. He opened his mouth and his tongue battled with hers as he unclasped his hands. Kate hand came up and caressed his cheek, her thumb stroking his jaw, one of Sawyer's hands stayed on her hip and the other one slid down past her stomach and in between her thighs. He stroked her lightly causing her to moan during the kiss, his fingers went lower and two of them entered her. Kate broke the kiss and moaned as his fingers moved in and out of her; she looked into his eyes and whimpered "let's go…"
He let his fingers stroke her lightly as he moved his hands to either side of the tub. Kate got out first and grabbed a towel, hastily drying herself as Sawyer got out and quickly dried himself as well. Sawyer lifted Kate up and she wrapped her legs around him as he walked out from the bathroom and into the bedroom, he laid her gently on the middle of the king size bed and smiled down at her. He went on his knees as he moved up towards her, he stopped as his head reached her waist, he put his arms underneath her legs and let his thumbs stroke her skin lightly. He placed a kiss on the inside of her thigh and he let his tongue sink into her, his tongue stroked her as his fingers did previously. Kate let out a throaty moan and she clenched the covers where her hands were lying.
He pleasured her with his tongue till her orgasm washed over her; Kate closed her eyes and smiled lazily. Sawyer crawled up the bed till his head was beside hers; he smiled and leaned over her, pressing his lips onto hers. Opening their mouths, they let there tongue entwine and massage each other as Sawyers hand palmed her breast. Kate tasted something on his tongue, tasting herself felt weird but it didn't ruin the kiss they were sharing. Kate arched up into the kiss as it deepened; her hand went to the back of his head and tightened around his hair, pulling on it gently. Sawyer pulled Kate up to a sitting position as he did so himself, Kate nuzzled her nose against his and kissed him lightly as her hands went wandering and found his erection. Sawyer pulled her over towards him and sank her down on him, Kate's eyes fluttered shut and she moaned.
He reached a hand around and pulled the bobble out, letting her hair fall back down around her shoulders. Sawyer watched her reaction and his eyes lazily shut and his grip tightened on her waist, moving her up and down. Laboured breathing and deep moans filled the bedroom as their pace increased, Kate let out a light scream as Sawyer thrust up into her as her orgasm peeked. Sawyer followed her a few moments later; he lay back on the bed with Kate lying on top of him. Letting their breathing even out, Kate rolled off of him and lay beside him, her hand caressing his stomach lightly. "When are ya leavin?" Sawyer asked whilst stroking her hair, Kate sighed and said "Friday… I'll be back on Sunday night" Sawyer nodded "I'll be alone all weekend?" he said in a sad tone. Kate giggled and hugged him "you won't even know im gone… it's only for a few days"
Sawyer smirked and looked down at her "Of course I'll know you're gone… I won't get my Saturday night sex-a-thon" Kate closed her eyes and laughed "only you would say that and wasn't tonight enough to last a weekend?" Sawyer shook his head in faux seriousness "guess you'll have to make it up to me when ya come back then" he rolled over and kissed her lightly on the nose; Kate smirked and kissed his jaw. "You'll just get what you get boy" she said smiling innocently at him, Sawyer growled under his breath and smacked his mouth on hers, pushing his tongue inside her mouth. Kate surrendered to his persistent tongue and shortly after they were moving together and letting pleasure take them over as the night grew into another new day.
