Chapter: 14
The plane had taken off and landed without a hitch and the gang had found a small B n B to stay the night, before they set off in the morning to the jungle. Daniel and Jack had shared a room, Sam and Janet also shared a room and Teal'c and Lara got stuck with each other.
"She's great isn't she?"
Daniel said, he was lying on his back on the bed, facing the ceiling in the dark, with the moonlight pouring in through the open window.
"Who?"
Jack turned over; he was already under the covers and was half awake.
"Lara."
Daniel sighed.
"Hu ... Oh … she' s alright I guess."
Jack blinked and turned back over. Daniel rolled round to face Jack's back, he wasn't finished talking.
"She's so smart."
Jack made some sort of noise to indicate he was listening.
"And talented … strong too."
He sighed again, rolling on to his back again.
"G'night Jack."
"Mmm."
"I don't like her."
Janet said as Sam came back from the en suite bathroom, Janet sat at the dressing table the room had provided looking into the mirror, pouting.
"Who?"
Sam asked, towel drying her damp hair. She sat on the edge of her bed looking at her friend. Janet turned around and frowned.
"Lara?"
Sam was shocked, she liked Lara, she found her very easy to get along with.
"Why? I think she's a nice person … very genuine."
"Yeah well."
Janet pouted again.
"I don't like her."
Sam chucked a pillow at her.
"Anything to do with a certain Doctor Jackson?"
Janet caught the pillow and held it with two hands, gripping tightly. Janet look annoyed.
"No!"
She threw the pillow back at Sam who dodged out of it's way.
"Sure."
Janet's jawed dropped.
"Really Sam, I get this feeling about her."
Sam smiled weekly.
"Well let's just hope your wrong eh?"
Janet nodded.
"The Colonel seems to like her."
"Yeah."
Sam sighed it was getting late.
"He's met her before though … so I guess they just clicked."
Janet said lightly.
"What are you saying?"
Sam asked as she swung her legs under the covers.
"Oh nothing."
Sam bit her bottom lip and frowned.
"O…k."
Sam leaned over and turned off the bedside lamp.
"Good night Janet."
Janet stood up and walked over to her bed.
"Night Sam."
She thumped on the wall through to next door.
"Night boys."
Sam laughed. Janet smiled at her, waiting for a reply for either Jack or Daniel.
When she didn't get one she pulled a face at Sam.
"Let's wake 'em up."
"Janet."
Sam's warning wasn't listened too.
"Oi guys!"
Janet was thumping on the wall again.
"Oh for crying out loud … SHUT UP!"
The pair laughed at the voice of their CO through the joining wall.
"G'NIGHT SIR!"
Sam yelled through the wall, doing a mock salute for Janet. They fell into hysterics. Then they heard next doors light's switch on.
"Woops."
Sam said as the door to the next room slammed. Next they heard thumping on their own door. Janet went to open it, there they were both Jack and Daniel wearing nothing other than their boxers, standing there not looking the happiest people, with two big pillows.
"Hi guys."
Janet said nervously eyeing the pillows. Sam came to see what was happening.
"Sir, something we can …"
She was cut short by being hit in the face with Jack's pillow. Daniel had done the same to Janet. By the time they two woman had gotten rid of the pillows Jack and Daniel had ventured back into their room. Janet gave a wolf whistle and clapped the men.
"Well that was something I'd pay to see again."
Janet added to her whistle. Sam looked at her shaking her head, smiling all the same, closing the door and following Janet back into their own room.
"Daniel did look pretty fine though, am I right?"
Janet stuck her hand out for a low five.
"Jack looked better."
As Sam went to give Janet her five, the Doctor's hand fell and she looked at Sam with a warm smile.
"Jack? I knew something was going on with you two, I knew it."
Sam had turned a bright shade of red, her slip of the tongue meant she was going be asked 21 questions about her and Jack's relationship. Just then there came a knock from the door, saving Sam from the Spanish inquisition, Janet style.
"Hang on your not off the hook yet."
Janet told Sam waggling her finger in the air as she went to get the door.
"Um we err …"
It was the guys again.
"Pillows?"
Sam came to the door with their pillows waving them around.
"You want 'em, come and get 'em."
Janet, knowing this game grabbed one of the pillows from Sam and jumped on to her bed waving the pillow around, Sam did the same. Jack grinned and went after Sam. Daniel stood and watched for a while until a stray pillow in what had now become a pillow fight between Jack, Sam and Janet hit him, and he jumped on Janet's bed with Jack and Started chucking pillows back and forth. Jack jumped across to the bed Sam and Janet had called 'base' and grabbed Sam, picking her up and going for her pillow… well his pillow. Daniel seeing that Janet was about to jump on him ran into his and Jack's room.
"Daniel get back here.!"
She yelled after him, leaving Jack and Sam alone in her room.
"It's just a pillow Sir."
She said between giggles, Jack was tickling her trying to get her to relinquish her hold on his pillow.
"So it's the principal of the matter."
Sam turned around to face him.
"That so?"
She asked, bating her eyelashes. Jack stopped tickling her for a moment and looked deeply into Sam's eyes, making her heart melt. Now that Sam had loosened her grip as she gazed into Jack's eyes, jack tried to grab the pillow, only failing to hear Sam say.
"That the best you can do?"
Jack pouted, and pushed Sam down to the bed, kissing her.
"No."
Jack said simply, giving Sam the idea that he was going to show her 'his best'.
Lara sighed and rolled her eyes. Teal'c 'tut'ed.
"They always like this?"
She asked the Jaffa.
