alright fabulous readers, alerters and reviewers, here's X, a tough and short one. once again, i'm going to upload two at once, so X and Y as well. and then, sadly, Z (hopefully by tomorrow).
I do intend to write a sequel of sorts, if you have any letter suggestions (or dare i say, requests?) i'll see if I can work them in somehow.
enjoy!
X is for X
"...denoting an unknown or unspecified person or thing..."
"She's an 'x'."
"What?" Amy turned to Sawyer with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.
"Jules, she's an 'x'," Sawyer repeated, staring thoughtfully at the other people in the cafeteria.
Amy frowned curiously and looked around before settling her attention back on the man next to her. "She's your ex? I thought, wasn't she with another of your crew?"
Sawyer blinked and shook his head, turned to face her. "No, not an ex, an 'x', like the letter. You know, like solve for x kind of thing. She's, an unknown."
Amy smiled knowingly now and nodded to herself. "And what makes you say that?"
"Mostly, I just don't get her; Miles, I understand, Jin, even with his English, I understand. Juliet? Not so much."
"I've heard of men not understanding women, but Jim..." Amy chuckled and took a sip of her coke.
"No, this is more than that." Sawyer sighed and pointed at a woman across the room, Judy. "See, Judy over there lost her brother when she was thirteen. Within the first week we're friends, good friends, because I seen a picture of poor Eddie and we look like damn twins."
Amy kept listening as Sawyer scanned the cafeteria and settled on another woman.
"Olivia is another story; her boyfriend cheated on her and now she's on this whole 'I hate men but I'll do anyone to make myself feel better' run. I know this because she hits on me every chance she gets."
"Should I be worried how much you know about these women Jim?" she teased.
Sawyer shook his head. "I know how to talk to women. I know how they'll respond and react and I ain't nervous about it. Juliet, she's different. I don't know with her. Anything about her."
Amy frowned a little and played with the straw in her cup. "But you're crewmates."
Sawyer sighed internally. "Well, yeah, but you can know a person without really knowin' them, you know?"
Juliet walked into the room at just that moment, noticing them right away. She smiled a little and waved in greeting before Miles came in as well and distracted her. The two waved back.
Amy raised an eyebrow and nodded slowly. "I guess. But Jim, why does this bother you so much?"
"That, cupcake, is another x altogether." Sawyer grumbled. Amy smiled.
seeee? short. haha X was hard! but now it's over with.
Y is next, tonight as well, and then the final letter!
as mentioned, suggestions for letters is always welcome!
