Chapter 4: Kiss the girl.
The twins had long since fallen asleep and Kate still up, playing with her hair and sitting next to Jack. Jack was awkwardly looking at his hands then back up at Kate. "So." He said. Jack grinned at Kate who smiled sweetly at him; she looked like an absolute angel. They both laughed, and then silence fell upon them and they started out at the ocean, their arms were touching. Jack suddenly felt Kate shiver, he turned to her and met her eyes. "Cold?"
"Yeah." She whispered. Jack rapped his arm around her shoulder and snuggled her close, the fire was no longer burning, and this gave Jack a chance to be close to Kate. "Thanks." She whispered nuzzling against his body, and slowly getting warmer. After a while Kate rested her head on Jacks shoulder and smiled up at him. He smiled back and her and suddenly his lips went numb. And he watched hers. He wanted to kiss her. Very much so. But he didn't, he turned away and he felt Kate adjust her head on his shoulder so she was closer to him and Jack began to sweat.
Sweat, on his palms, on his chest, the back of his neck, in his armpits. Armpits? Oh, shit. Kate will know!
But she made no movement from him and when Jack looked down she was still awake and smiling. He was breathing deeply and scolding himself for acting like a teenager.
Jack felt pressure on his thigh and saw Kate's hand was there. On his thigh. He froze and tried not to tense too much. He smiled at her when she looked back up at him.
'Is there something wrong?' She asked pulling her head away but not her hand.
'I'm sorry, I'm fine.' He said smiling at her. Kate grinned back and then rested her head back down on his shoulder. Her breathing started to slow and Jack knew he had better kiss her soon or he'd lose his chance. 'Kate?' She sat up and looked at him, her eyes showed she was tired at her eye lids were drooping, but she was starting at his lips. So, he leaned forward and placed a kiss on her lips, his hand sliding through her hair and then gripping her by her waist. He heard Kate moan softly as he gently pushed his tongue into her mouth. Kate still had one hand on his thigh and the other was on his shoulder.
'Jack…' Kate breathed; as Jack was kissing her more then she had ever been kissed. 'I…' She trailed off and Jack kissed her again, and she opened her mouth for his tongue once again. Jack pulled away and started at her. She started back, breathing deeply. "Hey." She giggled. Jack grinned. "I-well that was…I should go, I need my rest." She said, still smiling at him. Jack grinned and nodded. Kate got up and left. Jack watched her until she disappeared into the tent, then he tossed his hands behind his neck and fell backwards and sighed dreamily.
The next day, Kate was still asleep and the babies surprisingly were as well. Jack was sitting Claire's tent and playing with Aaron. He held his nephews hands who giggled happily at Jack. Jack grinned and looked up at Claire who was smiling sweetly at him. 'I want to hurt the guy who left you.' He told her. Claire smiled again, only this time it was a sad one. 'He doesn't have any right to do that.' He said with clear cut anger in his voice. Claire reached over and rubbed his shoulder. Jack twitched, it was the same shoulder Kate had been resting on last night.
"What is it?" Claire asked, she was smirking. Jack glared.
"How long have you known?" He asked rolling his eyes.
"I saw her and you chatting last night, but I didn't see all of it, ok?" She reassured him. Jack only rolled his eyes at her again. "Oh, and look, here comes our princess now." She smirked at Jack as he spun around to see Kate, holding one of the babies and Sawyer holding the other one, both laughing and walking happily. Suddenly an overwhelming wave of jealously crashed over Jack. He glared at them hard, scowling when Sawyer tossed the baby into the air and caught her, but he couldn't help but see Kate's hesitant look when Sawyer did so. But she seemed to brush it off and kept walking.
Had she completely forgotten what happened last night? She had seemed fairly happy with it, if not ok. But she had left right after as if it was just a natural response to kiss back. He had been the one doing the kissing; she didn't seem very into it.
Kate looked up around, as if sensing eyes on her, she looked directly at Jack, who span around quickly and started to play with Aaron again. "Hey." He said as if nothing had ever happened. He glanced up at his little sister, she was smirking and had her eyebrows raised. Jack blushed and slid away from Aaron.
Claire scooped her baby up and stood up. "Jack, Jack." She shook her head. "Just kiss the girl."
