Valentine's Day at the SGC

"Carter?"

Sam looked up from the naquadah reactor she was working on to see the Colonel walking into her lab.

"Yes, sir?"

Usually, Colonel O'Neill would stand on the opposite side of her lab desk, but today was different. He waltzed right around it until he was standing very close to her.

The Colonel propped his head on his hand, having rested his elbow on her desk.

"Do you know what today is, Carter?"

"Yes, sir. It's February 14th."

"And do you know what happens on February 14th?"

"Single women everywhere gourge themselves on chocolate?"

"No, not quite what I had in mind."

Sam was a little nervous at where this conversation was going and the fact that a certain colonel was somehow getting even closer to her. Sam could smell that wonderful Jack smell, she could feel his eyes staring at her, but she refused to look up.

His breath tickled her ear as he spoke, "I have a present for you for Valentine's Day."

Was she breathing? She couldn't really tell at the moment. It didn't feel like it. Jack backed away just enough to turn her chair so that she was facing him.

Those eyes! Why did he have to have those wonderful, chocolately eyes. Sam actually thought that if he stared at her any longer, she might start melting right there on her lab stool.

"A present, sir?"

"Yes. In a manner of speaking. I have a kiss for you."

Oh, she definately wasn't breathing now. Her eyes might even be bugging out of her head. Que the flushing of the cheeks. Right on time.

"A what...sir."

A smirk, he was smirking. Or was that more of a grin? Oh lord. She was looking at his lips now. Look up, Carter. Look up before it's too late.

Drawing out every word, inches away from her face, he contined, "Just one little kiss for Valentine's Day."

Right when Sam thought she might actually faint from lack of oxygen, the Colonel pulled away and turned to walk out of the room.

Completely confused and alarmingly disappointed, Sam followed him with her eyes.

Turning to face her, he flashed a wicked grin, winked at her, and left the room.

After staring at the void in front of her for some time, she looked down at her desk to get back to work. Sitting there on the corner of her desk was one small Hershey's Kiss.

Oh that man was evil.
