U is for Uneasy
"What's wrong Sunshine?"
Juliet looks up at Sawyer's voice and smiles slightly, blinks slowly. "Nothing, just thinking."
He comes across the living room and settles next to her on the couch on his back, his head resting easily on her lap.
Her hand automatically comes up into his hair as she rests her chin on the other on the arm rest.
"Thinkin' about what?" he presses, looking up at her.
She looks down at him and smiles again. "Nothing. I've just got a feeling in the pit of my stomach."
"What kind of feeling?"
"Uneasy; like something bad is going to happen."
Sawyer sits up and pulls her into his arms, kisses the top of her head and settles her against him. "Nothing bad is going to happen to you, I promise."
"I didn't say it was going to happen to me," she said offhandedly, then, "And don't make promises you can't keep," it's quiet, with an edge, and maybe some sadness mixed in with acceptance for good measure.
It's a haunting compilation and Sawyer has to kiss her again to get the taste of it out of his mouth.
She tilts her head and they kiss, slowly, lovingly. She pulls back and hugs him tightly.
"Come on, let's get some shut eye; you'll be fine in the mornin', Darlin'," so he pulls her up and they make their way to the bedroom.
The next morning, she's curled around his back, deliciously bare, her nose pressed to the back of his neck, and the phone rings. She wriggles a little and it rings again.
He groans and she buries her head under a pillow. He braces a hand on her warm back and picks it up.
On the drive to meet the others, because they are back and they are the others now, all he can think of is Juliet's bad feeling the night before, her sleepy face this morning, hair messy and hanging over one shoulder, sheet barely covering pale skin as he pulled clothes on.
He skids to a stop and gets out of the van. He gets an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach.
u is for uneasy. it's like she knew! i think she knew the whole time that they would come back and fudge everything up.
