A.N. Sorry for the long wait, revision is very time-consuming. I hope you enjoy it, even though it's slightly shorter than usual, but it was the perfect place to leave it. Please please read and review!
When the song ended they reluctantly pulled away from each other, but Sam was stopped by a hand from Jack.
"Sam, dance with me again? This is one of my favourites!" Jack asked, with a wide smile.
And so Sam allowed herself to be pulled back onto the dance floor as they began to dance to a much faster number. As they continued to dance, Jack spun her, causing her dress to swirl out around her, and causing her to laugh once more.
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
They continued to dance for the rest of the night, some songs slow, some fast, some just to enjoy the sheer fact of doing something together. When the last song came on, everyone had filled the dance floor, and Sam and Jack tried to make the most of it, as they knew that this night had to end very soon, and neither wanted it to.
Oooooh
Music is playing in the darkness,
And a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering, my hearts jittering, just you and I
They both secretly smiled to themselves. They wouldn't admit it to each other, but dancing for this long, the entire evening through had had an interesting effect on them. They were no longer so reserved or formal with each other. They had completely relaxed, and were starting to even flirt with each other, growing more and more comfortable.
Sam blushed as she heard that line of music. Her heart was fluttering so hard she was surprised it couldn't be heard over the music! She knew that a touch from her commanding officer shouldn't excite her that much, but it did, and she had no idea what to do about it.
Not tonight, not tomorrow
When everything's sunny and bright -sunny and bright
No no no, not tomorrow, cause then we'll be waiting for the moonlight
-We'll go walking in the moonlight
As they spun around the floor, they barely noticed the other patrons moving out of their way. They were in their own little world, and nothing could disturb their peacefulness.
Jack pulled Sam fully into his arms again. He knew he shouldn't. He knew it was wrong. He knew that the way he was feeling made it dangerous for both of them – both of their careers were on the line here.
He didn't care.
From the way she had been looking at him as they had been dancing he knew she wanted him, and he knew he wanted her … enough to risk his career, enough to risk everything. As he held her close he kissed her lightly on the side of her neck.
Laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
I don't need a friend when you're by my side, please stay a while
Sam shivered inwardly when she felt his lips touch her skin, oh so softly. Her alcohol-induced confidence wanted to invite him back to hers, to stay with her that night, but something inside of her told her that it was a bad idea. It was too risky. Who knew what they would think tomorrow?
Oh, you know I never could foresee the future years
You know I never could see where life was leading me
Jack thought back to his years before the SGC. He and Sara had been so happy. He never could have envisioned himself being with someone else. But with Sam, everything else around him faded, be it music and the dance floor, armies of Jaffa, or a simple briefing. It seemed almost as if his life had been leading up to meeting her.
But will we be together forever?
What will be, my love, can't you see that I just don't know?
Sam at this point stopped thinking. What would happen was already happening. She decided to just see where it all went.
No, not tonight, not tomorrow
When everything's gonna be bright -sunny and bright
Wait and see, if tomorrow, we'll be as happy as we feel tonight?
Sam somehow felt that she should listen to that advice, but the feel of her commanding officer's body pressed up against hers tried to push away that little tendril of sensible thought.
Oh we'll be happy, we'll be happy
-We'll go walking in the moonlight
Sam gave up, and decided to surrender herself to the moment.
Both now knew where this was headed. The music seemed to fade as they gazed into each other's eyes. No words were needed. Giving a wave to a few of their friends, they grabbed their coats, and headed outside to grab a cab.
Ooooooooooooh - I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where we lie
No more questions now
That's the joy tonight -just you and I
Just you and I
Just you and I
Can't you see that we've gotta be together, be together, just you and I
Just you and I
No more questions,
Just you and I.
