A/N I wrote this a while ago, didn't have the guts to post it. Unfrotunately it isn't finished far from it. I need a bit of encouragement.
"So what did you two get up to last night?"
"Dinner"
"Just dinner?"
"Okay dinner and coffee if you must know".
"Your place or his?"
'What is this question time?" She looked towards the seat Janet was occupying. Janet opened her mouth to reply but was cut off by the loud shrieking of the phone. Sam looked towards Janet and smiled as she reached for the phone. "And I'm not answering that question!" she said before reaching across and snatching the phone from its cradle. "Carter.........Yes Sir............Yes Sir................ No it's not a problem Sir.......... Thank you Sir". Sam sighed before replacing the receiver. She looked at Janet then moved her vision towards the set of rather large files that sat on the far desk.
"Bad news?" She looked up towards Janet and noticed the concerned look on her face.
"Briefing's been cancelled".
"Oh. So its good news? I mean you can go home early. Which means..." she left the sentence open and saw the small grin that appeared on Sam's face.
"I know, I know" she smiled again at the thought of an evening with Josh again. "It's just that I've worked hard on this briefing. The naquada deposits on P4X 989 are amazing. unlike all the other sources we've come across, these deposits cover the surface. I did some calculations and according to the results every 9 years a new..." She stopped speaking when she noticed Janet's mind had obviously tuned out to the previous conversation.
"Oh, I'm sorry Sam it's just..."
"Not interested?"
"No, no.......... its not that its just..."
"Something better to think about?" She studied Janet for a second until it hit her. "Or should I say someone?? Spill!"
"Nooo….Nothing like that". she exclaimed
"Oh come on your grinning like a Cheshire cat!"
"I met up with him last week" Sam stared hard at Janet waiting for her to continue speaking when she didn't she broke the silence.
"And...."
"And, nothing. We were having dinner together until we were interrupted by our resident archeologist and his alien friend!"
"They didn't?" Sam said now totally engrossed in the conversation.
"Oh yeah apparently Daniel was giving Teal'c an insight into Taur'i formal dining".
"Oh"
"Yes, I know. So anyway Alec and Daniel got into this conversation about some local dig or something like that while I introduced Teal'c to a seafood cocktail and to the joy of as much alcohol as I could consume, considering Teal'c doesn't drink!"
"I'm sure they didn't mean to ruin your night"
"I know, Daniel apologised afterwards". Janet said exasperated.
"So" Sam said shifting in her seat to find a more comfortable position. "So when you seeing him again?"
"Oh for crying out loud" They both burst out laughing
"You know I think you've been hanging out too much with............." She stopped herself. The grin that had occupied her face had turned itself upside down and now a frown was in its place.
"The Colonel?" Janet finished. A look of concerned filled her face, a look, which Sam couldn't bear herself to look at no longer. So instead she found a spot just above Janet's head to focus on.
"The Colonel" she whispered.
"My lord it is ready".
"Excellent, send it out".
Jack jumped out of his pride and joy ford pickup with a spring in his step. Tonight was going to be a special night, and he planned on making it so. He stopped and leaned against his car admiring the view. Normally the phrase 'The lights are on but there's nobody home' popped into his head, but this time there was someone at home. Somebody waiting for him to return. She moved in 3 months ago. It wasn't an easy choice to let her back into his home again, and he knew the choice wasn't easy for her too. But here they were now. 6 months into the relationship and as happy as hell. It was nice to have someone to hold at night and have them hold you back. Although at times the conversational topic could be a little strained but she knew he couldn't talk about his work, she learnt to just accept him when he came home after a rough mission with bumps and bruises, it was nice, perfect in fact. He smiled to himself pulling himself out of his reverie. He started to walk towards the house but paused. Stopping in his tracks his reached into his pocket and drew out his car keys. Without turning round he lifted his arm and pointed the car alarm key to the car and switched it on. Two small beeps were heard, shoving the keys back into his front pocket he continued on his small journey towards the house. As he reached for the handle the warm glow that he saw emitting from the front room window made him think about what a lucky bastard he was. He chuckled to himself and opened the door. Allowing his body to take in the heat that the house offered him. 'Much better' he thought as he threw off the coat that had been keeping him mildly warm in the freezing temperatures outside. He started making his way towards the living room where the forefront of his thoughts was more than likely to be. He frowned slightly when he noticed she wasn't there. As he was about to shout out for her he was hit with incredible Amour. Looking towards the kitchen he could just about see the object of his desire. Using all the knowledge he picked up from special-ops about being stealth he crept upon her. She was humming. She liked to hum. He never ever found her singing just humming. Standing behind her he slid his arms ever so gently around her waist and smiled as she lent back into his arms.
"I heard you about a minute ago" she answered amused.
"Damn I thought I had nailed it this time" she laughed as she turned in his arms to face him.
"10 out of 10 for trying Jack, but your success rate is still non-existent" she laughed even harder when she saw the expression on his face as tried to look hurt. "Not gonna work". She said pulling herself out of his arms and tending to the pot that had started to over boil. Jacks interest was captured as he tried to make out what was making the delicious aroma he smelt earlier.
"Hmmm that smells great what is it?"
"Basted Duck With Oyster Dressing"
"Really?? Cool" he said slightly turning his nose up at the idea. "You need a hand?"
"The table needs setting".
"I can do that," he said as he made his way towards where the cutlery and plates were kept and began to set the table. He swore slightly under his breath as he tried to calm his nerves. I mean it wasn't a big deal right?? 'Yeah just keep telling yourself that Jacky boy' his inner mind thought. He turned round to grab the napkins from the right hand draw instead his eyes fell upon the clock that hung on the wall. 'Oh tonight's gonna be a long night' he thought.
Considering the briefing had been cancelled Sam had managed to find a hundred and one things to keep her busy for the past 6 hours. In the end it was a very tempting offer of a movie and an Italian that had made her leave the base. To be honest it was a relief, the conversation with Janet hadn't ended on a particularly good note, but she wasn't going to think about that not now, possibly not ever. So here she was standing outside Josh's house willing herself to go and knock on the door. As much as tried to move herself she didn't budge. She knew what she was doing was wrong. God she had told herself countless times that it was wrong and that it had to stop. But she just couldn't bring herself to do it. When she looked at Josh, she didn't see a future. She couldn't see a family. She hated herself for it; in fact recently she had started hating herself for a lot of things. She shook her head trying to rid her mind of those thoughts. At the moment she was fighting for the present the future could wait. With a rush of newfound courage she reached the door and knocked twice. She didn't have chance to re-drop her arm to her side before the door was whipped open and she was faced with the smiling face of one Josh Williams. He was taller than her. She liked it that way. He was an extremely attractive guy, women took notice of him, and it made her kind of possessive.
"Hey sweetie pie" she hated that.
"Hi, sorry I'm late".
He looked to his watch "No your right on time". She also hated that; she has never known anyone not connected to the military to be so strict on keeping time. Like the other day she was 10 minutes late to the Chez Loret restaurant in town. He wanted to know why she was late and whom she was with. He has his possessive ways and for someone as attractive as he was, he has an extremely jealous streak. The last time it reared its ugly head it ended up causing argument after argument and more friction on a friendship that was already run down.
"Hey you want a drink or something?" she nodded. "Dinner's ready in 10. Hope your hungry".
"Starved" and she was. He tried to think back to the last thing she ate. 'A banana at breakfast' she thought. She looked down to her watch, which was almost 11 hours ago. 'Boy I need to eat more' she thought.
"There you go" he handed her a beer. She looked to the label and sighed ever so quietly to herself. It was that tasteless foreign stuff. 'Yuk', she only drank it because Josh had insisted she would love it. She took a small swig and scrunched up her nose.
"Thank-you" she whispered.
"How was work?" she went to answer but was cut off. "I know, I know, it's classified. In General?"
"Well in General" she grinned. "It was fine. How was your day?"
"Good. I missed you though" he moved towards her closing the gap, making Sam feel uncomfortable. She smiled an uncomfortable smile at him. As she looked into his eyes she could see what his intentions were.
"What about dinner?"
"It can wait" the gap was still decreasing.
"You went to all the trouble though" she really didn't want this tonight, but the look in his eyes told her its all he wanted right now.
"No trouble".
"Josh!"
"Sam" he whispered as his lips captured hers. His arms found there way to her waist and pulled her closer to him. She could feel his desire and it scared her. Last night he had promised her, promised her it wouldn't be like this again...
