Chapter 12: Brandy

Sawyer was sitting on the beach, watching the waves come in. It was late that evening but he couldn't sleep. His thoughts where full of Claire and Ana. He wasn't sure what he felt for them. Did he really care about Claire as much as Charlie did? Did he really care for Ana or was it just lust? All his life he had dated innocent young girls, and he always left them for someone else. He'd always hurt them.

'Ahem.' Came a voice from behind him. Sawyers head swiveled behind him and saw a girl standing there. 'What are you doing?' She asked him gently. Sawyer rolled his eyes.

'What does it look like I'm doing, Shortcake?' Sawyer replied. He turned back to the ocean. The girl sighed behind him. 'What's your name anyways?' Sawyer asked. He'd seen her around but never really given her any attention. She must be twenty or so, maybe nineteen. Sawyer him self was only twenty five.

'Brandy.' She told him. Sawyer nodded. 'I know your name. Its Sawyer, how come you don't know mine?'

Sawyer shivered when she said her name. 'I don't know.' He told her rudely. When she didn't answer Sawyer turned around and jumped slightly. She was gone.

Sawyer approached Jack and Kate the next day. Jack was playing peek-a-boo with May who was enjoying it. Kate held the sleeping Olivia close to her chest. When Sawyer reached them May let out a loud squeal of joy that shocked both Jack and Kate. Sawyer sat down and Jack continued to play with him. 'Morin' Freckles.' Sawyer said. Kate smiled at him. 'How are you to this morning?'

'Where all good.' Jack said. He had no anger in his voice.

'Oh yeah, that's right, you to hooked up.' Sawyer said nodding. Kate rolled her eyes.

'We didn't hook up, Sawyer, but we are going to try us.' Kate put a hand on Jacks shoulder and rubbed it gently.

'I'm happy for you guys, really.' Sawyer told them. It was true. When it came down to it he wasn't really sure if he ever really had feelings for Kate. Jack smiled at Sawyer. 'Who the heck is Brandy?'

'Who?' Kate asked.

'She's a girl a was on the plane, she's 19. Why do you ask?' Jack picked up May who was starting to fuss. He held her against his chest and stroked the back of her head.

'I don't know. I was talking to her last night.' Sawyer said looking away. 'She just sort of…jumped me.'

'She jumped you!?' Jack exclaimed, alarm in his voice. Kate burst out laughing at Jack and Sawyer shocked expressions.

'No, no, no, no! I mean she came up behind me.' Sawyer said quickly.

'The look on your face says you wouldn't mind it if she jumped you.' Kate teased. Sawyer scowled at her.

'I could hardly see her.'

'Jack?' It was Brandy. Sawyer swiveled to look at her. She had shoulder length brown, curly hair. She had small breasts and wasn't at all curvy. She had hazel eyes and was some what short. Not at all what Sawyer went for, and yet it turned him on.

'Yes?' Jack smirked at Sawyer.

'I was fishing with Jin and some nasty one bit me; I was hoping you'd check it out for me.' She said smiling at him. Sawyer felt an angry surge run through his veins. She hadn't even acknowledged he was there. Jack nodded and handed Olivia to Sawyer. He kissed Kate's check gently before leaving with her. Sawyer watched her ass as she left. He turned to Kate who one eyebrow raised at him.

Sorry for the wait!!

Claire: Whats up with Sawyer? He's all...tense lately.

Kate: I'm not sure...

Jack: Sawyer, are you going to...ah...hit on Brandy?

Sawyer: Why?

Jack: Isn't she to young?

Sawyer: Don't tell me who I can and can't not be with Jack.

Brandy: Sawyer? Whats wrong?

Sawyer: Nothing.

He kisses her.

Ana: I want to break Jack and Kate up.
