The Drabble List

By LetitiaRichards

A set of drabble challenges on the Jackfic website list from which I have created a short story.

Category: Drama; Humour, Romance.

Season: Any with Sam as Major Carter.

Pairing: Jack/Sam.

Rating: Older kids upwards for language, innuendos and content.

Summary: A simple slip-of-the-tongue started a huge ball rolling.

(kumfumbled: adj - 1. confused or lost, typically when thinking or trying to figure something out.)

KUMFUMBLED

Jack sat down on the sofa and began picking nervously at the beer's label, trying to formulate a coherent sentence.

"Are you okay?"

Startled, he looked up. She hadn't added the "Sir". So... no formality? That's good. I think?

"Yes... No... I...." Crap!

Her concerned countenance filled his thoughts.

"Something wrong?"

He forced himself to answer.

"No! Nothing's wrong... but, it's not right either." Adding with a wince, "Does that make any sense?"

Oh for cryin' out loud! He'd faced anything and everything imaginable... but talking emotions? That was like a foreign language – it kumfumbled him every time. Double crap!
