James is watching her at this new recruit party dancing with Jin and Miles while he sips a beer in the corner. There’s one of these parties once a month, and this is the sixth one they’ve been to. It’s the first one where she’s had more than just a couple of beers. Not drunk, but buzzed enough to be entertaining. The three of them have formed their own little conga line, and she’s singing - loudly - to The Loco-Motion. Miles is egging her on and Jin doesn’t know what the hell’s going on. But it’s amusing anyway, the three of them falling all over each other. It’s the way she’s laughing and grinning that has him so lost in thought.
She doesn’t let loose very often. She’s quiet and guarded. Speaks when she has somethin’ to say. He likes that about her, but it wouldn’t kill her to have a little fun. Not after all the shit she’s been through, he thinks. He doesn’t know all of it, just the basics but it’s enough. This is the way she should be more often than not.
James is startled out of his thoughts when she’s suddenly sliding up to him with one arm moving around his shoulders. She’s embraced this hippie clothing style of peasant blouses, and when she wears skirts they’re those long billowy types. She still prefers her jeans when she’s not wearing the jumpsuit, but he loves the skirts. “Hey you,” she says, eyes shining as the song ends and segues into a slower one.
One Hell of a Woman. Well, if that ain’t the perfect song for Juliet, he thinks as he grins at her. “Hey yourself. You’re quite the dancin’ queen out there.”
She laughs and steals his beer, taking a sip. “Today was a good day.”
She's a free and gentle spirit
She can be what she wants to be.
“Yeah. It was, wasn’t it? Glad you’re enjoyin’ yourself, Blondie.” He’s about to turn to ask her something, and she’s leaning to reach for a drink at the table next to him, but instead their lips brush and suddenly they’re kissing. It’s not even accidental or like they didn’t plan it, she’s just kissing him.
She makes me feel
Like a hell of a man.
The kiss is deep and eager as his hands move to cradle her face while her fingers rake through his hair.
“IT’S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!”
That’s what it takes for them to pull away from each other. Miles ruining the moment. Jin’s trying to shush him, pulling him away.
She can be what she wants to be
And if she wants to be with me tonight
Well that's alright.
She pulls him up, her hand in his, and leads him back to her house so that they can further explore their kiss in private.
