Hey gang here's a quick update, on another note I have been asked my opinion on the whole Juliet thing so this is how I feel. I love Jate and of course want it to happen, however Jack is my favorite character so if Kate should stupidly choose Sawyer (which I don't think is going to happen) I probably wouldn't mind Juliet too much then as long as Jack keeps getting a storyline. I actually didn't mind Juliet all that much in the first episode and was surprised to see Matthew Fox and Elizabeth Mitchell had a nice chemistry together, I think it will be an interesting storyline and I think we're going to see some jealous Kate and some serious Jateness so lets all keep our fingers crossed. Oh yeah Shannon's alive in this
A SIMPLE ARGUMENT (LOTS OF FLUFF AND SMUT)
Claire sat on the beach watching the waves crash against the shore and let out a happy sigh. Things were going well on the island for the first time in awhile. Jack, Kate and Sawyer had been returned from their ordeal with the Others. The Others seemed to have gotten what they wanted and were leaving them alone. Morale was good now that Jack was back, it was funny how people took him for granted when he was here, but the minute he was gone people realized how much they depended on the doctor. Claire was happy as well, she and Charlie had moved a step in their relationship and Charlie was in fact right now out taking Aaron for his afternoon walk. She wasn't the only one in love either. When the group came back it was obvious Jack and Kate had finally hooked up giving most people on the island what they all wanted.
They had come back holding hands and had exchanged some soft kisses as well in the public eye. The two of them getting together was like the final piece of a long awaited puzzle; even Sawyer seemed to accept the new couple.
"You look relaxed" Claire looked up to see Shannon standing beside her. Claire smiled at her friend as Shannon took a seat beside her.
"Yeah, I'm just enjoying the sunset and the fact that everything seems to be perfect you know." Claire said but noticed Shannon shot her a strange look.
"Eek Claire you don't say things like that aloud, are you trying to jinx us?" Shannon asked.
Claire smirked, "I'm sorry it's just I'm so darn happy"
Suddenly they heard a groan of frustration and Kate came storming out of her tent Jack right behind her.
"Kate" Jack started to speak but Kate interrupted him.
"I don't want to hear it" she snapped and Jack threw his hands up in the air.
"Fine" he yelled and stormed off in the opposite direction.
"Fine" Kate yelled back at him.
Claire and Shannon exchanged concerned glances and Shannon shot her a glare as if to say told you so. They turned to see Kate who was now watching Jack's retreating form and their hearts broke as they watched Kate's lower lip tremble and tears well in her eyes. Instantly both women were on their feet and at Kate's side in seconds.
"Oh honey its ok" Shannon said putting her arm around Kate and that's all she needed before she let out a sob and began to cry. Shannon and Claire led her back into her tent so she could release her emotions without the whole camp having to watch. They settled Kate down on the bed where she wiped her eyes and tried to calm her tears letting out the occasional sniffle. When she finally got composed she looked at Shannon and Claire gratefully.
"Thanks" she said almost shyly.
"It's no problem" Claire said with a smile. "You want to talk about it?"
"What did the big lunkhead do?" Shannon asked.
"Oh" Kate said wiping her eyes and letting out a big sigh. "He didn't do anything, he's just being Jack" she said sighing again. "Its just things were so complicated before, you know and we finally get to the point that we are both on the same page and we both want the same thing and then bam its like the universe is screwing with us to see how much we can take." She said frustrated. "I mean we have been back for almost two weeks right and…oh never mind I'm sorry you don't want to hear all this" Kate stopped speaking embarrassed.
"No come on you can tell us anything, that's what girl talk is for, to vent about the guys." Shannon said and Kate gave her a small smile.
"Well, back at the camp as you guys know Jack and I finally told each other how we felt, you know that we love each other. We got out and made it back here and that's just it." Kate said frustrated.
"What's just it?" Claire asked confused.
"We've shared maybe three or four kisses since we got back and that is it. I mean he hasn't even once tried to get me in bed though I have made it very clear that's what I want. He's still sleeping in his own tent for god's sake when obviously mine is big enough for the both of us." She rubbed her forehead. "I know I shouldn't complain he's trying to be a gentleman because that's what he is, and I've never been with a guy like him. All the men I've been with wanted me for one thing only. I know I just need to be patient and allow Jack to take his time. It's just ugh it gets so frustrating when it's obvious we both want it." She said and then blushed realizing what she said to them.
"Have you tried telling Jack how you feel?" Claire asked and Kate grimaced.
"Yeah I went to tell him today but before I could he had other news for me. You know when we came back we told you the Others were kind of splitting apart some people wanting out and so on. Well one of those guys Karl came into camp today to say that some of them wanted to come here to this camp and wait for rescue, they're tired of being on the island. Not a lot of them are coming but its going to be like Karl, Alex and a few others including Juliet" Kate's tone changed when she spoke the last name.
"Are they bad Others?" Claire asked concerned.
"No" Kate shook her head. "Karl and Alex are just teenagers, I think Alex is Rousseau's daughter and the other few are bringing the kids and stuff."
"Well who is this Juliet?" Shannon asked cautiously as Kate's eyes darkened.
"Juliet is the woman who was taking care of Jack, when we were separated." Kate said with a sarcastic snort. "She was all over Jack and made it very clear she was his for the taking. She practically threw herself at him at every chance. He never told me this but I could tell when we were all reunited. She didn't seem to care at all about Sawyer and me, nope she would just show up with food for Jack and would talk with him all day long as if we weren't even there." Kate sighed, "She ended up being the one to help get us released which I guess is a good thing, but I know that the only reason she's coming here is for Jack."
"Well how does Jack feel about all of this?" asked Claire.
Kate threw her hands up. "He's clueless as usual. He thinks Juliet is great they became buddies back there and doesn't seem to understand why I might not want her hanging around all the time. He says he and Juliet are just friends but he's so blind to the fact that she wants him so bad. I swear woman throw themselves at him and he just smiles and pays no attention. I bet he was just like this at home, women flirting with him shamelessly and he just marked them all off as just friends." Kate said crossing her arms across her chest.
"Well maybe that's a good thing" Claire said and Kate shot her a confused look. "What I mean is maybe Jack doesn't pay attention to any of these women like Juliet because, sorry to sound cliché but because he only has eyes for you. In his mind he just sees Juliet as a friend because he has never even contemplated being with another woman but you."
"You're right" Kate said rubbing her eyes wearily, "Its just I know Juliet isn't going to come here and just accept that Jack just thinks of her as a friend. She's going to flirt with him and throw herself at him and I know that's going to drive me nuts, we're going to keep fighting and eventually he'll get tired of the whole thing and will end up turning to her anyway." Kate muttered miserably.
"Whoa, hey let's not get crazy here. I think you're jumping the gun and I also think you should give Jack a little bit more credit. He is a man yes but like you said before he's also a gentleman and he's going to listen to you if you sit and talk with him. Just try to tell him about how you're feeling like you told us and I bet Jack will understand. Just be honest with him." Shannon said. They were interrupted by the flap opening and Jack walking in coming to a startled stop to find three pairs of eyes looking back at him.
"Uh hi," he said looking at Kate. "I just came to, well I can come back later." He stuttered.
"No" exclaimed Shannon and Claire who jumped to their feet. "We were just leaving." Claire said and she gave Kate a wink. When the girls were gone Jack looked back at Kate shyly.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you guys." He said looking at the ground.
"No, I'm glad you're here, I was just about to go look for you. Can we talk for a minute?" she asked and Jack nodded and sat beside her on the bed. Kate felt her heart leap as his presence washed over her.
"I'm sorry" they both said at the same time and then smiled at one another.
"Let me go first" Jack asked. "First I want to apologize to you for the way I acted about Juliet. I know she makes you uncomfortable and I should have been more sensitive to that. I guess it's just I know she isn't a problem or a threat and I can't see why you don't understand that." He said softly.
"Jack, how can you say she isn't a threat? She has made it clear from day one she wants to be Mrs. Dr. Jack Shephard." Kate said annoyed.
"Yeah but don't I get a say in this equation?" Jack asked somewhat hurt. "You say Juliet wants me and even if she does what does that have to do with my feelings. Just because she likes me doesn't mean I'm going to go running off with her, I don't want her because I have the only woman in this world I will ever need or want, and that's you." Jack said looking her in the eyes. "You need to trust me Kate."
Kate bit her lip, "I do trust you Jack, with my life. It's just you are the most perfect thing I have ever had and I'm so scared you are going to wake up one day and realize you can do better than me." She said tears in her eyes.
"That isn't going to happen" Jack said cupping her cheek and returning her stare.
"But it could" Kate whispered and Jack shook his head.
"Kate an asteroid could fall on us and wipe out the island, it could happen but that doesn't mean it's going to. You are it for me Kate, there is no better thing out there because you are my perfect fit." He wiped a rogue tear that slipped over her cheek.
"Then why won't you make love to me?" she asked softly and Jack took a second to process what she said.
"What?" he asked.
"How come you have never once tried to take me to bed, even when I'm throwing myself at you? Are you not attracted to me that way?" she asked.
"Jesus Kate" Jack said rubbing the back of his neck. "Wanting to take you to bed is not the problem ok?" he said. "I want you Kate so much that it kills me sometimes to not throw you against the nearest surface and bury myself in you." Jack said with an embarrassed sigh.
Kate's cheeks flushed more with excitement than embarrassment. "Well then why don't you?" Kate asked. "I've given you more than one opportunity to do that."
Jack cursed quietly but Kate heard him and she looked at him curiously. "Kate, back home I played around ok? I took women home that I had no intention of ever calling again whether they knew it or not. After my divorce I gave up on love and just worried about lust and it's not something I'm proud of at all. It's why I want things to be different with you. I wanted to take the time to get to know you and to allow you to get to know me before we jumped into bed together. Yes Kate I want to make love to you, so bad sometimes I swear I will drown in my own feelings. I don't want our first time to be against a tree trunk or in a frenzy where we still have half our clothes on though. I wanted to take you somewhere nice where we could be alone and not have to rush because of fear that someone might find us. I wanted to plan something for just the two of us so we could be together completely." Jack said with a sigh and Kate looked at him her love for him making her heart want to burst. She loved him more than anything in this world and he was all hers. "I was actually planning on taking you tonight but Karl appeared before I could come tell you and then everything just kind of blew up from there." Jack said.
Kate let out a huge sigh. "What a pair we make, huh?" she said with a small smile.
"I think we make a pretty good one" he said taking her hand in his and kissing it gently. Kate smiled and a small blush rose to her cheeks.
"I love you so much I think sometimes my heart is going to burst" she said her eyes filling with happy tears.
"I love you too Kate" he said and then he pulled her in close for a deep kiss in which she happily responded to. Soon they were entangled up in one another and Kate found herself laying on her bed with Jack above her his weight pressing down on her delightfully.
"Hi" she whispered gently stroking his cheek and his days worth stubble.
"Hi" he answered back looking at her with nothing but love and affection in his eyes.
"Make love to me Jack?" Kate pleaded and Jack nodded ducking his head down to take her lips with his own. Soon their clothes were on the ground and they were pressed against each other naked and wanting. Jack leaned down and gently eased up one of Kate's legs which she eagerly wrapped around his waist and they followed suit with the second leg.
"Are you ready sweetheart?" Jack asked and Kate nodded in high anticipation. Jack eased into her slowly and carefully and Kate was sure she was going to die from sensory overload as he entered her completely. When he was fully within her he leaned on his elbows and watched her as she dealt with the feel of him inside of her. She opened her eyes and looked at him lovingly. She tilted her head up and they met in a slow and sensual kiss. Jack was in no mood to rush through this and was just enjoying the feel of being embraced within her. He shifted slightly to kiss her better and they both moaned as the action seemed to send him deeper.
They both pulled away when the need for oxygen became too much. Kate smiled at him and stroked his cheek.
"Don't you see Kate?" he whispered huskily. "You are and will be the only woman for me. I could never fit with anyone else the way I fit inside you." He stroked her hair and Kate embraced him tightly.
"I love you so much" she whimpered and her hands traveled across his shoulders his back and down to his waist. She gave him a naughty smile and her hands went down to clutch his buttocks. She gave a tug and they both sighed as he sank deeper. "Love me Jack?" she whispered her voice full of want and need.
"I will until my last breath" he said and with that he began to move within her. Kate's eyes sank back as he eased in and out of her pushing in deeper with each thrust. He was loving her slowly and sensually and they both tried to put every memory of the moment in their mind so as to never forget the feelings running through them. Kate couldn't believe the passion and emotion running through her as Jack made love to her. His thrusts were slow but calculated and with everyone took her closer to the edge. Her sighs and moans were becoming more audible and sent chills running down Jack's spine. He pushed inside her still at a slow rate but with a little more force and was rewarded by Kate's cries of want. Spurred on by her reactions he continued to love her this way and Kate was wriggling under him begging him for release from this torture.
"Please Jack, please, harder and faster, I can't take it I'm so close." Jack smiled and slid his hands down her body and gripped her firm butt in his hands. His weight was on her fully and Kate loved it. He gripped her and pulled her tight as he thrust deep and sure into her increasing his speed. Kate hugged him tight burying her face in his shoulder as he pushed inside her over and over again as he pushed and pulled her. Soon her body began to shake and Jack pushed deeper and suddenly Kate was screaming his name shuddering and shaking in his embrace. Jack watched her face amazed at how the emotions passed through her eyes before it was too overwhelming and she had to throw her head back and close her eyes. She gripped him tight with her arms, legs and internally. She was whimpering and groaning in his ear and he soon found his own release upon him. He came with a sharp cry and emptied himself within her, filling her with his release. Kate moaned as she felt his hot seed flood her and her own excitement of him coming inside of her sent another orgasm crashing into her. As her body writhed in ecstasy Jack pulled her tight and just held her close whispering words of love into her ear.
When she finally came down Jack smiled at her and brushed a lock of hair from her flushed face. She smiled at him and they kissed sloppily just tasting one another. When they pulled away from the kiss Jack gently eased out of her and pulled her into his arms where they cuddled in their embrace and fell asleep calm and sated.
Shannon left her tent and snuck down to Claire's. Luckily the young mother was awake with the baby so Shannon didn't have to disturb anyone's sleep.
"They never came out of the tent" she said with a grin.
"See everything is..." she couldn't finish because Shannon slapped her hand over her mouth.
"Don't say it out loud, let's just agree to it without having to speak the words" she said and they both nodded with a giggle.
And though they didn't want to put the words out there and jinx it they both felt what was true, everything on the island was perfect.
