While Sam's night was intensive contemplation time, she couldn't help her mind wandering back to that night. That night she wished she had better memories of. Especially ones that didn't involve them being drunk and then later both of them feeling guilt for its events. She couldn't help feeling bad for asking to think about his offer overnight. If she'd been paying attention when he was talking in the first place, she wouldn't have had to ask for the night to think about it. She didn't know why, but she knew that was it.
When finally the morning came, she went in search of him at the base to have a chat. She needed to know what he was thinking. Everything he was thinking. About everything. Including his feelings for her. Knocking on his door when she reached his quarters, she heard a faint call, and decided that was enough notification for her to go in. Opening the door and leaving it ajar once inside, she stood staring for a moment.
"Sam. Hey.I uhh, I said to wait a minute."
"Oh.I.I uhh.I didn't hear you.sorry." she stammered while staring even more noticeably than moments before. "Do you.do you uhh.want me to go for a minute?" Sam asked while he completed his task of dressing.
"No. It's ok. No point. What'd you come here for? Anything in particular?" Jack replied.
"Oh.yes. Yeah actually I did." Sam shook her erotic thoughts from her mind, and sat down when offered a seat. "I came, because last night I got to thinking. A lot actually. I know this is probably the most horrible question to ask, but I have to. Please don't think I would ask in any other circumstances, but I was thinking about what happened and don't worry, I won't cry this time. That's for sure. I was thinking, you said you care about me.but how do you care about me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you care as a good friend, as a person I know.you know what I mean." At that moment, an airman sent by General Hammond to collect Jack for a talk about the President's Dinner Party, came up to the door to his quarters. Sam had left it ajar, and the airman could easily hear the occupants of the room discussing something. He decided to wait for a moment until they had finished, instead of interrupting them. Standing a little to the left of the door, he waited.
"Yes, I know what you mean. And I think you know the answer to that."
"Well, no I don't.that was why I came to ask. I needed to hear your feelings. I needed to hear you say it to me."
"I love you. In every possible meaning of the word. As a person you know, as a friend, as someone.as a lover. If that's what you want, then it's what you got. What about you?" In the phrases' ending, the airman was fascinated to hear such things coming from the mouth of the CO of the most renowned SG team. With his halo above his head, he skipped off to inform the General of his gossip. The unaware residents of the room continued their conversation - of which they thought was private.
"I love you. In every possible meaning of the word. As a friend, as a person you know, as a lover, as anything you want. I love you. I'm in love with you."
