Those Not So Awkward Silences
They both sat in silence looking into each others eyes.
God, I want to kiss her. Would it be so wrong to kiss her? Is it what she wants? I really want to think it is but she came here because she's upset about losing Daniel, for crying out loud! What should I do? What will I do?
Jack decided on just continuing to look into her eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes. I could stay here forever.
Sam felt a lot better but perhaps she shouldn't. This is wrong. I could get court marshalled for even thinking about the Colonel in this way. Curse these feelings. It amazing I even get the job done. I spend most of the time staring at his ass! I'll watch your six alright. Any time you want me to. God, what am I doing?! What's wrong with me?
What's he thinking? I've only seen that look once before. He obviously thinks it's important to hide his feelings. That is, if he still has them. Of course he does. His eyes say it all. Would it be so wrong to kiss him? Here. Now.
They sat there in silence for a long time. It almost felt like forever. But it wasn't one of those awkward silences they normally shared. This was comfortable. Almost enjoyable. Except perhaps for the fact that neither was entirely sure what the other was thinking.
I shouldn't. It's clear to me now that it is what she wants. But will she still want it tomorrow when she can think a bit clearer. Would it count as taking advantage with her having been in this vulnerable state of mind? And then of course there was the impending court marshal if anyone found out. To me it would be worth it but I won't allow myself to put Sam in that position. She deserves so much more. More than I could ever give her.
At that point Sam made the decision for both of them. She moved towards him and put her hands on his face. She kissed him. And he kissed her back.
