A few weeks had past and soon the islanders were getting ready for New Years Eve. Food had been organised by Hurley, entertainment by Charlie and Claire had tried her best to organise decorations. Jack however had been on edge for the past three days. Juliet had followed him relentlessly and it seemed that whenever he turned, she was there on his tail. Kate was watching the blonde like a hawk, never letting her out of her line of sight. However, whenever Jack and Kate tried to make love, Juliet always seemed to interupt. Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Charlie were finally taking a break from the craze of the island and were talking at Sawyer's tent.

"So Charlie whatta you plan on playing for this party ?" Sawyer asked.

"Dunno. Just whatever comes to mind," he shrugged.

"Can you play, Bob Sinclair ? You know 'ROCK THIS PARTY ! DANCE...every..body," Sawyer trailed off as they threw him strange looks. "What ?"

"Anyway," Kate said, still looking at Sawyer like he was going to go mad and eat Charlie.

"We need your help on this Juliet problem," Jack said.

"Why do you need us ? Just make out in front of her," Sawyer shrugged.

"We have ! We've done everything short of sex, but nothing put's her off," Kate sighed.

"Um guy's ?" Charlie said and pointed. Their heads turned and Jack let out a groan of frustration.

"Why God why ?" he practically cried.

"It's fine baby. We'll be fine. If I don't drown her in three inches of water," Kate smiled sweetly. Jack managed a chuckle.

"Hi Jackie," Juliet smiled, playing with the ends of her hair. Jack ran his hand over his short hair and growled.

"Look Jules why don't you go prancing back to the others or something ?" Charlie said.

"So Jack ? You wanna go for a swim ?" Juliet asked.

"Yeah sure," Jack smiled and Juliet shot a look at Kate.

"What ?!" Kate said turning to him.

"With Kate," Jack finished. Kate resisted the urge to stick out her tongue. She rested her hand on Jack's arm and stroked it softly. Jack gave a grin and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer. "I'd love to go swimming with Kate," Jack kissed her forehead.

"Well fine. You wanna go swimming with that skank have it your way," Juliet huffed.

"Don't you dare call her a skank. You can't talk," Jack hissed out.

"Um Juliet ? Go die," Sawyer sneered and Juliet whirled around and stalked off.

"I'm sick to death of her !" Kate moaned and Jack hugged her.

"I know Katie. Don't worry about her baby okay ?" he said into her hair.

"We haven't made love in three day's because of her," Kate whimpered.

"Wait she's stopping you from doin it ?" Sawyer snorted. Jack shot him a look.

"We can't get any privacy. She seems to be everywhere," Kate sighed.

"Why don't you just go somewhere into the jungle ?" Charlie suggested.

"Oh I don't know. Other's, polar bears, boars and a giant cloud of smoke that eats people. Yeah I want to go into the jungle and have sex," Kate said and Sawyer gave a chuckle.

"Hi guys !" came Claire's voice and everyone looked around.

"Hi Claire," Sawyer smiled and Claire sent him a grin. Charlie scowled at them but said nothing.

"We're trying to think of places where Juliet wouldn't think of looking for her 'Jackie'," Sawyer sniggered and Jack glared at him.

"Well think harder. I'm fuckin sick of not being able to have sex," Jack snapped.

"Well I just saw Juliet go into Jack's tent," Claire said.

"She what !" Kate growled.

"That's why I came over here," she replied.

"Come on Katie," Jack pulled her in the direction of his tent. When they arrived Jack could hear Juliet rustling around inside. He pushed Kate behind a tree and made a shooshing sign to her. Jack slowly crept to his tent and moved the flaps aside gently. "Fuck !" he growled and rushed back to the tree.

"What's she doing ?" Kate asked.

"She's getting undressed," Jack growled.

"That little slut," Kate said, and made to go towards the tent. Jack wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back.

"No. We have to use this to our advantage," Jack whispered into her ear.

"How exactly ?" she asked.

"I'm still in the process of working that one out," he groaned.

"Wait ! If she's in there naked, than she won't be at the hatch !" Kate grinned and earned a look from Jack.

"What's your exact IQ again ?" he asked playfully and Kate smaked his arm.

"I mean we can go down to the hatch bedroom and have some fun baby," Kate purred and a light seemed to come on in Jack's brain.

"Let's go then !" he laughed and tugged Kate along behind him.

As the pair entered the hatch, the collectivly groaned. "Dammit !" Jack swore and Kate sighed.

"So much for our plan," she huffed. Small noises of pleasure could be heard coming from the bedroom.

"Look's like somone beat us to it," Jack moaned. Kate flopped down on the couch and put her head in her hands. "Hey baby don't get upset," he soothed her, rubbing her back.

"We haven't made love in three day's because of stalker bitch, and the only plan we came up with, someone else beat us too it," Kate sniffed.

"Come on now baby. We'll get rid of Juliet and then I'll be able to take you whenever you want okay ?" Jack reassured her.

"I'm just fucking frustrated," Kate sighed.

"You're not the only one Katie," Jack leaned back on the couch.

"Oh Locke !" came a cry from the bedroom and their heads snapped up.

"Is that ?" Kate gulped.

"Oh dear God," Jack felt his stomach turn. "For the love of God let's go," he held his stomach and they ran from the hatch.

A/N: Heh heh. Some people might be confused as to why Kate and Sawyer are so chummy and there had been no mention of skex ? Well in my story there was none. Kate and Sawyer are merely friends. Welcome to MY world. Grins evily
