Well here we go another chapter. Please keep the reviews coming. Don't know if it is worth writing without your input.
It had been seven months since that fateful kiss. Sam still couldn't believe how much her life had changed. They had gotten into a routine. In the mornings Jack would go to the fields and help the rest of the men from the village in the fields and she would go to Laira's. Sam had managed to learn how to weave sew and cook in the span of a few months. She had even surprised herself. In the afternoons when Jack got back she would have their meal waiting on him. Then they just did the things around the house that need doing, cutting firewood and getting water, everyday things. Every afternoon they would go for a walk by the lake. And somewhere in the middle of all that her and Jack had gotten close, really close. She couldn't even really tell you when it happened just that it did and that she wouldn't change it for the world. They started holding hands on their walks without either of them knowing how, just that one day they were. Sam would snuggle with him on the couch at night and they would talk. They would talk about everything, the people they left behind, what we thought they were up to know, what kind of music was out, who won the Stanley Cup. Silly stuff really but I have never felt closer to anyone in my life. And that is when it happened the most amazing moment of my life.
" Hey Sam you still awake?"
"Yeah just watching the fire" Answering him I shift my position so I can look at him from the position we are in on the couch.
" I was thinking today, about something Garan said, that he was right and I was wasting time. But I don't want to rush you or anything so maybe.."
"Jack your rambling, what's the matter?"
Taking a deep breath, trying to calm himself, Jack closed his eyes "Sam will you marry me? I know that a ship could come tomorrow and that it could cause problems if we ever made it back to earth, but I don't want to waste the time we have I don't want to live thinking that it could all be over tomorrow. I want to be with you, forever"
She was speechless. All she could do was sit there and stare at him. Did she hear him right did he just propose. She noticed the worried look on his face and realized she hadn't answered him yet. Looking him strait in the eye she could feel the tears welling up in her own as she uttered "Yes" so softly she wasn't sure that he had heard her. That was until he swept her into a searing kiss. One that lasted a very long time and promised amazing things to come.
