Foolish Games2

See part one for all-important stuff...

********************

She reached out to the bottle and began to pour herself another glass of wine. It was soon gone, and she just picked up the bottle and began to drink from that.

She couldn't get over the pain. And she still wasn't ready to forgive him.

Janet kept bugging her to talk to him, but she couldn't do it. The man had been a complete jerk to her since the confrontation in the infirmary. She had come so close to hitting him once; she ended up walking out when he was telling her about something.

Well, they had finally figured out why his 'wife' had tried to kill him. Apparently, she wasn't in love with him. She just wanted to collect the insurance off of him. Further research had turned up that it wasn't the first attempt. She was wanted in about nine states.

"What?"

"Sam, are you there?"

"Coming."

She gripped her head in her hands as she practically crawled to the door. Her head was killing her, not surprising considering the amount of alcohol she had consumed the night before.

She slowly opened the door and let Janet in.

"God, you look like hell."

"Not so loud Janet, please."

"Now I know why."

Sam just made her way back to the couch, and unceremoniously plopped down on it.

"Mind if I join you?"

"Help yourself."

Janet sat down next to Sam's feet, and wasn't surprised when Sam's feet were suddenly in her lap.

"So, wanna talk about it?"

"Not really."

"Tough, we're gonna talk about it anyway. He was an asshole Sam, no one can say differently. But that doesn't mean you can hate him forever."

"I don't hate him. I just can't get over the hurt. The way he acted was as though he never had feelings for me; that he just married her because he couldn't have me."

"Well, at the time he didn't know he could."

"Did Daniel send you to talk to me?"

"What if he did?"

"Can I kill him the next time I see him?"

"You wanna have a run in with the really big needles next time you have a physical?"

Sam just shivered in response. She hated the big needles almost as much as the colonel did.

She was referring to him as colonel all the time now, even in her own thoughts. She had called him Jack when it was just she and Janet, or when she was alone with her thoughts, but now...now was different.

"I'm just not ready to forgive him yet Janet."

"Will you ever be ready?"

"Maybe. I haven't decided yet."

"Well, you better decide soon, cause he's coming over here in half an hour. I think he's planning on staying until you fully accept his apology."

"Did he bring some stuff with him? I'm not planning on letting him off the hook that easily. He can have the couch, but that's as far as my hospitality reaches."

"I'm sure he'll be appreciative."

Janet rose to her feet as there came a knock on the door. Seeing Sam was in no condition to answer it at the moment, she strolled to the door.

"Jacob! What are you doing here?"

"Came to see how my little girl was doing."

"Well, she's a bit hung-over at the moment, but otherwise, she's fine."

"I think I can handle it from here. Thanks a million Janet."

"Don't mention it. I've been concerned about her. Just doing what friends do."

"Well, I know I appreciate it. See ya round Janet."

"Bye Jacob."

And with that, she left.

~fin~ (for the time being at least)

Short I know, but it's all my brain could come up with at the moment.

HA! You have to live with that for another day or so. Do you think you can handle it? Send me more stuff on where you want this to go.

Thanks so much for all the review that you guys sent me on this. I really appreciate it!

Just out of curiosity, did anyone happen to see the new TV Guide cover for this week? Well, it features one Jack O'Neill and Daniel Jackson! YAY! Anyway, if you haven't seen it, check it out!
