Katherine sat happily in her bed; she and Jack were about to Skype. Davey sent him a laptop and they had exchanged Skype addresses through letters.

She saw him pop up on the screen. Jack was shirtless on his bed.

"Hey Kathy" he said smiling.

"Hi" she smiled and Winnie snuck up on her lap "Winnie says hi too"

"He's gotten bigger eh?" Jack said.

"A tad" Katherine smiled and scratched between the dog's ears. "How are you?" She asked.

"Eh" he said "I miss you and I really hate it here"

"Blame my father" she replied rolling her eyes.

"I do" he laughed "its hot and all the guys here are like crazy and weird and it's really hot"

"You mentioned it" she laughed.

Jack leaned his head jack laughing, no longer in his crouched over the laptop.

He heard Katherine gasp and he looked back to see her shocked face as she held her puppy in her arms.

"Yes?" He laughed.

"You have .. you have a tattoo-" she said looking at her screen.

"Several actually sweetie" he smiled.

"Show me !" She said yelling at her screen.

"Okay okay" he laughed "there's this one , a black and white airplane" he said.

"Why?" She asked as she looked at his naked chest and saw his tattoo.

"My dad really liked flying... used to take me on his fighter pilots... " he said pointing to his rib cage on his right. "this one is a watercolor heart, still gotta get some of the color finished but it hurt like a god damn bitch Kath" he said showing her the colored heart on his chest.

"That ones pretty!" She said smiling.

"This is a pair of converse" he said bringing up his feet and she saw the small pair of converse tied on his ankle.

"For your love of converse ?" She smiled "anything else?"

"Yeah" he then stretched to his side and she saw a watercolor woman with curls in her hair "this ones just because I was fooling around and the guy doing them saw the paper and told me I should get it done" he said.

"I like that one ... that all?" She asked.

"This one kinda started it all" he said showing her his hand.

It was a simple K written in blank ink over his knuckle on his index finger .

"K ... for Kelly?" She asked.

"No" he shook his head "for Katherine" he smiled.

"You gotta a tattoo for me?" She asked.

"Of course! ... there's a guy here on base who does them. I was drawing and he asked me if I would design some basic ones he could do and I did and then he said he'd give me a free one for designing some and then I got one and two then so on and so on...." he told her .

"You got a tattoo for me though" she said .

"I miss you every day Kathy... god I just wanna see you and hold you and kiss you and god Katherine please... I can't stand this anymore"

"Nor can I but there's nothing I can do about it!" She sighed "Jack... I had a reason why I wanted to tell you something face to face"

"Hmm?" He asked raising a brow.

"What we feared Jack..." she sighed and looked away from the camera.

-A.N.-
OOOO WHAT IS IT ?

Also mark got a tattoo today of a music note on his wrist ... here's the small story behind it.

I used to draw music notes on my wrists with eyeliner and pens in class and when  we first stared really talking he noticed me drawing one and so for the first like real date we went on he had someone draw one on his wrist with pen and like on birthdays and graduations and dances he wears it.

And now it's on his wrist and he's gonna go back and get some "water color" color over it he says ...
