I stand here watching him, this man I care for beyond belief, beyond all thought, who has shown me a world that I never thought I would see. He said we will take it slowly, but is it what I want, what I need, what I should have.
I lean against the rails, gazing at his form as he cuts through the water. Should I move into the light, letting him know I am there?
His head breaks the surface, and as if sensing me spins in my direction, 'Teyla I know you're there.'
I slowly make my way down the steps from the terrace overlooking the pools.
'Hello-----John.' I was uncertain of how to act, what to say or do. We had been back on Atlantis for almost two weeks, and had been conveniently occupied separately during that time.
Stepping out of the pool, water glistening on his body I quickly averted my eyes, but was incapable of resisting. Turning back, I blatantly stared as he walked to the chair that held his belongings.
Making my way to his side I slipped onto the empty chair beside his. Continuing to follow the path he made as he slowly wiped the moisture from his chest.
'Haven't seen you for awhile' he said, flipping the towel around his neck.
'I have been helping Dr. Beckett, on the mainland.'
'You've been on the mainland, pretty regular in the last two weeks, if I didn't know better I would think you were avoiding me' he uttered, flashing his boyishly attractive smile.
Rising, I realized that somehow, sometime he had moved closer, now only scant centimeters from me. 'Why would I do that?'

It's been two weeks since we saw the sunset on the beach. Two weeks of catching glimpses of her as she entered or exited the puddle jumper. Two weeks of thinking she'd changed her mind, that she was avoiding her, and now she was here. Standing in front of him.
'You've missed our breakfasts.' I step closer, just needing to be within her warmth, close enough to feel it.
'You have been late, as is usual. And Dr. Beckett does not like to be kept waiting' she moved back bumping into the chair.
Smiling slyly, 'Nervous, Teyla?' I needed reassurance, did that make sense? I was always so sure of myself, so cocky, nothing could ever go wrong in my relationships, well almost, there had been that time---but that isn't for now. But this was Teyla. Teyla who smiled like an angel, took care of those that mattered to her, protected those she loved, and kicked my butt every chance she got.
'Should I be?' she stumbled once again, this time landing on the chair, gripping the arms to stabilize the movement.
Leaning forward, hands braced on either side of her trapping her within the chair.
Sinking further into the confines, 'John--?'
