A Lady in Red

O'malleys Bar and Grill…

"Whoooeee who is that pocket rocket over there?" Cameron Mitchell asked to no one in particular as he, Sam, Teal'c and Daniel sat eating their respective meals.

"I believe you should go and find out for yourself Cameron Mitchell… after all she keeps noticing you also."

"T's right." Daniel chimed in as they watched the about five foot three blonde in a sexy red dress pot yet another excellent set at the pool table.

Sam almost snorted and then regained herself. Deciding instead to think of the mission ahead of them. She forgot sometimes that her colleagues could still be all male even with the weight of galaxies on their shoulders.

After the meal was over and the small dance floor beckoned Cam stood up and headed for the woman all on her own dancing by the edge of the floor at the far end of the bar.

"Hey pretty lady!"

"Do I know you?" She asked in a somewhat sharp British accent, one perfectly plucked brow raised in question.

"Uh no you don't but that's why I came over here… you know to introduce myself."

"Oh I see and do you always call women pretty before you learn their names?"

"Uh no to that too ma'am I surely do not… but you are… pretty and a lady." He was about to congratulate himself when:

"I assume sir in that case you must be arrogant and a man?" Yet again she arched one perfectly plucked brow but he caught the hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"You're playin me aren't ya?" He asked with a smile, still a little unsure.

She laughed and the serious face was lost. "Sorry I couldn't resist… I saw you looking at me earlier and when you came over my wicked side got the better of me." He grinned at her and ass-wupin done with got back on track with getting at least a phone number and a name!

"So what may I call you?"

"Anything you please I suppose, but my name is Kya Nite."

"Okay Kya Nite… you may call me Cam Mitchell… Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell."

"Oh a Soldier boy…"

"USAF actually."

"Even better a fly-boy…" She smiles. "So fly-boy Cam Mitchell; are you busy…? Would you like a drink?"

"Funny I was about to ask you that same question… how about I buy them?"

"Great… Mineral water please sparkling." She smiled sweetly and he looked taken aback. "I like to keep my wits. I have a very early start."

"I see. I and my friends are drinking beer for the same reason." He grinned.

"Hmm… interesting I'll bet you can't pull a trick shot now then?"

"Then you'd surely lose that bet ma'am so what will you price be?"

"Oh if I win…" She leaned in and whispered something in his ear, he raised a brow but both remained absolutely poker faced. "But if I win..." She pondered her answer then leaned in and whispered something else audacious, laughing inside but she still didn't break a smile.

"Oh I see you drive a hard bargain… are you sure water is all you've had this evening?" He is very tempted to take the bet.

"Well I'm new here and I don't want to get in out of my depth Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell… but to be honest with you I am finding you extremely difficult to resist, there is something about you, my inner wild-woman is curious." She whispers something else and he almost blushes.

"You did not just say that."

"Oh but I believe I did… So are you game?"

"OK yeah…"

She smiled broadly now. "Oh and pocket Rocket I like that…" She said with a wink.

"You heard that?"

"Good hearing and I read lips perfectly."

"Ah… well here goes then…" He took the shot and clearly he was going to miss but just to make sure, her perfect derriere brushed his arm as he bent forward and she nudged ever so slightly you'd hardly notice unless you knew her game.

"Your place; or mine?" She grinned and he swallowed hard.

He went over said his goodbyes to the others guaranteeing he'd be on time tomorrow and headed out with Kya.

Sometime later that evening:

"You found it then?"

"Yeah right in the jar marked coffee… funny that." Kya said laughing as she made two cups of somewhat questionable instant coffee.

"Right… well you know… I'm not too hot on my own kitchen I don't spend much time at home due to my work and before you ask it's classified."

"Good then you won't need to ask me questions that I can't answer either."

"Deal…" He said but couldn't help but be a little curious. So it has been a while since I was intrigued enough to get much more involved with a woman beyond a drink…" He shrugged. She nodded and replied.

"I am usually too busy too… work keeps me distracted."

"So do you want to take this beyond one evening…?"

"I'd like to… I'm away on business for up to a month maybe a little more… I'll call you…or you call me…?"

"Actually I am away for a similar time so it's perfect we'll be in touch…"

They enjoyed their coffee and she went out on the porch to phone for a lift.

"Hi Walter um I know it's really late but could you send that car now please…to meet me at the end of Pines? … Perfect… Thank you."
