Behind the regulations
Not Enough – Chapter One
Jack could not take it anymore. He was going crazy. He had never felt like this with another women. But this was not a normal women. It was his second in command, Samantha Carter. They had known each other for a while now and they worked great together. However, it was just not enough for him. He wanted more.
He walked down the corridors of the SGC, heading towards her lab. His hands was either fidgeting with something or they were in his pockets. He had that nervous feeling in his body, that what he was about to do could go to hell. But it could also turn into heaven. Jack smiled. He kept walking and nodded to the personnel he met on the way. He arrived to his destination and turned around the corner. He smiled at what he saw. There she sat in front of her computer and sipping from her cup of coffee. He raised his hand to knock on her door but changed his mind. A grin started to spread in his face and he used his sneaking techniques to move towards Sam. He moved swiftly and silently over the concrete floor. When he was at his victim, he had to stop himself from letting out a chuckle. He drew a breath.
"CARTER!" he barked behind her.
She was startled and jumped up from her chair to face the one who scared her. When she saw who it was her face changed from being scared to annoyed. Jack could not hold himself longer and he burst out into laughter. Samantha Carter, his 2IC, glared at her commanding officer. However, she could not keep the act up and burst into laughter as well.
After a few minutes, the two officers finally had calmed down from their outbursts. A silence followed, where the two of them just stood their with their eyes locked. It took a moment before the silence was broken by Jack.
"So... uhm... eeehh..." he said, trying to get the path from his brain to his mouth to work.
"Sir?" she asked, looking at him questioningly.
He sighed. "Whachya doin'?" he said and nodded towards her laptop.
"Uhm... writing report sir?" she told him, like if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
He nodded and picked up a pen and started to fidget with it.
"Sir?" she asked, curious of what his reason was to come to her lab.
"Do you... uhm... want to... eehh..." he said, with a slight nervousness in his voice.
Sam Carter sat there, without showing, quite amused. Her CO, the brave and courageous Jack O'Neill who has stared into eyes of evil, was standing in front of her and was not able to complete his sentences.
"Do I want what?" she said, trying to hide her amusement in her voice but failed. She bit her lower lip to stop her from smiling. Her CO, however, heard her voice and he looked up back at her.
"Glad I can amuse you." he said, trying to look annoyed but with a twinkle in his eyes. He took a deep breath and got ready again.
"Carter... Doyouwanttogooutwithme?" he rushed through the sentence and looked down on his shoes, as if they were the most interesting thing in the universe.
Sam looked at him like he just spook ancient. 'Did he ask what I think he did?' she thought.
"Sir?"
"Sam..."
'He said my name!' she said to herself and started to listen carefully for what he was going to say next.
"Do you want to go out with me?" he asked, more slowly and looked up from his shoes to lock his eyes with hers. He started to grin when he saw her. Her face was confusion and hope mixed together. However, he started to get a bit nervous when she had not said anything for a while.
"Carter?" he asked, worried over what the result was going to be.
When she did not answer him, he got even more worried. He started to shift from one foot to the other, waiting for a response. He did not want to pressure her, but he could not wait any longer.
"I just thought..." he started. "I mean, after the Zatax thing, you might wanted to... Yeah... This was a bad idea..." he said stated and started to walk out the door. He stopped at the door, to glance back at the women who he cared for, more than he was supposed to. She sat there, with the mouth slightly ajar and staring in the empty space in front of her.
He sighed and shook his head. He walked away from her lab, leaving her 2IC in her lab alone. 'God! What have I done?' he asked himself. He walked to his office and sat down in his chair and looked at the pile of paperwork. 'Well, it can't get any worse...' he thought and started to work through the pile.
