Chapter 3
Sam walked into the locker room the next morning to find her biker jacket and a sack of her clothes in her locker. She would have killed to see his reaction yesterday. Definitely should have hidden a video camera. She was actually kind of surprised he returned her stuff. Figured he would have kept her jacket hostage for a little while after that stunt...a thought which almost made her choose a different jacket completely. Sam looked through the bag. Noticeably missing was a pair of red lace panties.
"Sam?"
Sam snapped around with the bag firmly behind her back. "Daniel!"
"What's going on?"
"Nothing."
Daniel narrowed his eyes at her like he was trying to read her thoughts.
"Good morning, campers!"
"Sir!"
"Hi Jack. You seem unbelievably cheery this morning."
"What? Can't a guy get a little excited about going to a planet full of trees and really old rocks? I thought you would be ecstatic!"
"Yes, well..."
"Good. How was your Valentine's Day, Danny boy?"
"Um, fine, I guess."
"You mean you didn't have a million nurses crawling all over you? I'm surprised."
Sam couldn't resist. "What about you, Colonel? How was your Valentine's Day?"
Neither Sam nor Jack could hold back the smirks from their faces.
"It was a little nutty. Got a little red present, but I must say, I was a little disappointed."
He might kill her for going on with this, but she couldn't stop herself from saying it. "Disappointed. Really? Why's that?"
He glared at her but his smirk turned into a grin. "I was kinda hoping there would be a little something inside, but it's a good keepsake nonetheless."
Sam blushed to spite herself.
"What about you, Carter? Have a good Valentine's Day?"
"I was left pretty disappointed early in the day but it seemed to get better and better as the day went on. Overall, I think it went pretty well."
Daniel thought he'd break in with the obvious at this point. "So, I take it something happened between you two yesterday?"
Sam looked completely shocked and quite honestly like she'd forgotten Daniel had even been in the room while Jack just turned toward Daniel and grinned again.
Shrugging Jack said, "Me and Carter? Nah. I did give her some chocolate though."
"Chocolate?"
"Yeah."
Daniel narrowed his eyes but Sam nodded innocently enough, looking at Daniel like she had no idea why he would have accused anything out of the ordinary to begin with.
Right. He didn't know what it was, but something had definitely happened.
