That night, everyone was patiently waiting for midnight. Everything had seemed to go off with no trouble, except for the alcohol. Sawyer had conveniently spilt it all.
"So you spilt all of it huh ?" Charlie asked and Sawyer gave an innocent nod.
"Did you spill it down your throat ?" Claire asked.
"Just a little," the southener smiled.
"Shocking, really. Oh well, you can always drink so much seawater that the salt makes you dehydrated. Then you'll be delusional. Exactly like being drunk," Jack said and Kate gave him a look.
"Aren't you supposed to be advising people against this kind of thing ?" she asked. Jack merely shrugged and gave her a smile.
"Not on my day's off," he said simply. Kate gave a giggle and relaxed into his arms.
"Where did you find this stuff ?" Claire asked Hurley as she crammed yet another biscuit into her mouth.
"Under a rock. Jeez, what's with the stupid questions ?" Hurley asked.
"I've no idea, but you don't need to be sarcastic," Claire pouted.
"Well come on. What did you want me to say ? The biscuits came out of my ass !" he laughed and Claire made a face, pushing the tin away from her.
"For some reason my hunger is fading," she grimaced.
"Blondes !" Hurley joked.
"Hey !" Sawyer and Claire protested, but they were interupted from the impending arguement by Locke.
"Just want to ask you if you've seen Nancy ?" he asked. Kate immediatly burst into scores of giggles. Jack and Sawyer however grimaced in disgust.
"Tall lady ? Black hair ?" Sawyer asked and John gave a nod. "She's sitting over there with the blonde and the redhead," he pointed in their direction. Locke smiled in gratitude, but sent a confused look at the giggling Kate before heading in Nancy's direction. When he was out of earshot the group turned to Kate.
"Jeez Freckles, do try and hold in the laughter until he's gone," Sawyer scolded her.
"I'm..." she tried before her body was racked with laughter once again.
"Oh God, I just hope the memories don't haunt me," Jack shuddered.
"I still can't believe it," Sawyer made a face. "But oh well."
"How long until countdown begins ?" Charlie poked Sawyer in the back to attract his attention. Sawyer checked his watch.
"Another two hours," he replied.
"Jack ?" Kate whispered to him.
"Yeah ?"
"Let's slip away ?" she murmered into his ear.
"Where to ?" he asked and Kate looked thoughtful.
"The jungle. No one will even notice that we're gone," she purred. Jack gave her a smile and pulled her up. Now in the middle of a heated debate about blondes, redheads and brunettes, the gang didn't notice their disapperance.
Kate was pushed forcefully against a tree as Jack's large frame covered her smaller one. "Jack..." she whimpered and rubbed against him. Jack's erection pushed into the crotch of her pants.
"Oh baby, your so fucking hot," Jack kissed her neck, sucking on the sensitive skin there. Kate gave a little yelp and kissed his rough chin. Jack shoved his hand under Kate's thin top and pushed her bra aside, fingering the taught nipples and nuzzeling her neck.
"Jack, I want you so badly. I've been so frustrated for the last few days," Kate huffed, grinding against him.
"Jack ! Kate !" Sayid called and Jack growled in frustration and anger. "Oh um sorry," Sayid laughed nervously at the sight of the disheveled pair. Jack slowly removed his hand from Kate's aching breasts. Kate mewled in protest but arranged herself quickly.
"Something you need ?" Jack growled and Sayid nervously rubbed his neck.
"Uh Juliet noticed that you had gone, so she asked me to find you and bring you back," he smiled.
"Tell her we're coming," Kate said and Sayid gave her a smile of gratitude before retreating.
"We were about to be coming anyway," Jack resisted the urge to slam his fist into the tree.
"Oh baby we were so close to privacy," Kate moaned and fell into Jack's chest.
"I'm personally going to wring Juliets neck when I find her," Jack sighed and hugged Kate closer to him.
"Not if I get there first," she murmered, placing a soft kiss on his lips. "Come on." Jack and Kate made their way back to the beach
"You're back ?" Charlie asked as the pair flopped down into the sand.
"Yeah we thought you'd be gettin it on by now," Sawyer said.
"Well we were just about to, when Sayid came looking for us," Jack groaned.
"Apparantly Juliet noticed we were missing and sent him out to find us," Kate sighed, resting her head on Jack's shoulder.
"Do you want us to kill her ?" Claire offered and Hurley gave a nod.
"Yeah, we could do that," he grinned.
"We could let Claire talk her to death," Charlie suggested, only to be answered by a buiscuit to the head. "Oww. Hobnobs hurt !" he whined.
"Serves you right," Claire smiled proudly.
"Poisen ?" Sawyer interjected.
"Do you have any ?" Kate asked him.
"Uh no. No," Sawyer said sheepishly.
"We could shoot her," Hurley said but Jack shook his head.
"It would leave a stain on the sand," he said.
"That rules out stabbing too," Kate sighed.
"Oh for fuck sake I can't believe we're talking about ways to kill her !" Jack burst out.
"Strangling ?" Charlie asked quietly.
"No." Jack scolded. "Not unless it's compleatly needed," he added.
"Hi guys !" came the bright voice that was the cause of most deaths on the island. The voice also held the record for most people shooting themselves while listening to it.
"Get me a gun !" Kate ordered. When no one moved she sighed. "Fine I'll get it myself !"
Kate tried to stand but Jack pulled her back down to settle in his lap. "Uh uh Katie. I thought we agreed. Strangling would be the best way to go about it," Jack muttered into her ear. Kate exhaled through her nose and took in another breath, this one deeper.
"Did you want something ?" Sawyer smiled up at the blonde woman. "Like my body ?"
"Get over yourself Hillbillie," Juliet snapped. She turned back to Jack.
"So Jackie babes. I was hoping to be your New Years kiss," Juliet smiled sweetly.
"Oy vey," Claire rolled her eyes.
"What doe's oy vey mean ?" Juliet asked.
"It means curl up and die. At least it does when your here," Claire answered.
"No need to be nasty now is there ?" she smiled and Claire.
"Um yes !" Claire said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Look, Claire. I don't need to be nice to you, I'm just here to share a nice kiss with Jack for New Year okay ?!" she snapped, looking at the austrailian as if she was something on the bottom of her shoe.
"I don't want a nice kiss with you ! I was about to share something much nicer than a kiss with Kate, before you sent Sayid to, UMPFH !" Jack mumbled as Kate slapped a hand over his mouth.
"You know what Juliet, why don't you sit here with us for a while," she smiled.
A/N: HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! What's Kate up too ? I also apologise for the lack of smut, but that will change soon enough. I'm also gonna add Chloe to this story as a love interest for Sawyer. Fairdee well for now dear veiwers...
