A/N: Well, even though I didn't get many reviews, I decided to work on it anyway....Here ya go! Please Review! Thank you...
JaimeLeigh: My first reviewer!! sniff Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!!
Kate sat there, leaning up against Sawyer. Sawyer sat there, with his arm around Kate.
"I thought you hated me," he murmured.
"I did," she replied.
"I thought you liked the doc," he said.
"I did," she again replied.
"Then why are you sittin' here leanin' on me?" he asked.
"Because I realized something," she whispered.
"And what's that?" he asked.
"That I have nothing at all in common with Jack. I don't like him in that way anymore! We're not meant for anything other than a friendship! He deserves better than what I can give him!"
"Does this mean you're choosing me?"
"I don't know!!!" she cried. "I honestly don't!" And with that, she began to sob uncontrollably. Sawyer was surprised by this sudden outburst of emotions from the girl whom he thought would never cry. He didn't know how to console her. He never really had to deal with anything like this ever before. He pulled her close.
"Shhhhhh" he whispered. "You don't have to decide now. You don't have to decide ever."
"But I do!" she cried. "That's just it! I ACTUALLY LIKE YOU!"
"You say that like it's a bad thing, Freckles," he said, indignantly.
"No, no, no, its not! It just means that... I don't know. It's hard to explain."
"Well, Freckles, we got all night." At this, she smiled.
"I guess we do, huh?" she sighed.
"Yup," Sawyer replied. Kate took a deep breathe.
"OK," she said. "How many doctors do you know? Personally, I mean."
"Well, 'bout two, I guess." Sawyer answered.
"And what is their life like?" she asked.
"Well, let me just say that I wouldn't want it. They basically have the most boring life, other than dealing with sick people, ya know? They live in a perfect house with a perfect yard with a perfect wife with perfect kids with their perfect cars! The wife is a stay at home mom who takes care of their 2 kids and cleans and cooks for him. He has a little red sports car and a silver minivan." Kate shuddered. "So then, Sawyer, what do you want?"
"Me? All I want is to be happy. Settle down out in the country, maybe have some horses and stuff, and drive a big ole pickup truck." Kate smiled. "What about you?" Sawyer asked.
"I want something similar...Move out in the country, have a farm, and a Chevy pick up."
"So you don't want to be a doctors wife, do you?" said Sawyer smugly.
"No! I like Jack and all, but the doctor scenario, it's just too...tame for me!" she said.
"I see. So what are you gonna tell the doc?" asked Sawyer. Kate sighed. She didn't answer. She just leaned back in the sand. So did Sawyer.
"I just... don't want to hurt him," she whispered.
"Trust me," said Sawyer. "He'll survive. I know guys like him. They know how to get the ladies, with their perfect job, perfect attitude, perfect everything!"
"But I don't want that," replied Kate. "I want...." Her voice faded.
"You want?" urged Sawyer.
"I want some one....like," she gulped. "You" She turned to look at him. He was smiling up at the stars.
"Really?" he whispered, turning to look at her.
"Really." She replied, gently kissing him on the lips. Suddenly, a shooting star lit up the sky.
"Make a wish," Sawyer whispered. And she did.
A/N: Hmmmm......well there we go.... Not sure if that was exactly what I had planned, but o well! I still think it needs something, but I'm not sure what.....Please review!!!!
