Chaper 2:
With One Look At The Now
Previously: "I love you, Jack." "I know, Carter." I say, setting down the beer and preparing myself for a long night of yelling and talking.
And now the conclusion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I know, Carter." I say, setting down the beer and preparing myself for a long night of yelling and talking. Carter simply rolls her eyes.
"Sir," She shakes her head, "Jack, I really don't think you understand. I *love* you and I want to be with *you*. I mean, we can now, can't we?"
"No, Carter, we can't. Why? Because it's too late, its too frigging late." She looks surprised before a knowing look settles on her face. I don't like that look, nope, not one bit.
"You're scared, aren't you?" She asks. I *definitely* don't like that look. **Note to self: run away when Carter gets that look**
Well, better face the music.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SAM'S POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yeah, Carter, I'm scared. I'm scared of getting you and losing you. I'm scared of ruining your life . And I'm sorry, but even though I do love you, I can't do it again, Sam, I can't............" I cut him off by kissing him. I feel him kiss me back, before he pulls away and jumps up, saying over and over, "No, no, no, no, this is all wrong!" I watch as he runs out of the small cabin.
After a few moments, I hear a splash and I run outside.
"Jack, what the hell are you doing?" I yell at him, watching has he does a running jump into the lake, again, it looks like.
"What does it look like, Sam?"
"It looks like you've gone mad!"
"Well, thank you, Carter!" He yells at me from the lake as he climsb out.
He's grinning at me as he walks closer and I don't realize his intentions until I land in the water.

JACK'S POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She's sputtering as she comes up and I can't help but laugh.
I get a death glare before she shakes her head violently, spraying water everywhere.
When she's done, I'm not joking anymore and she just stands there, staring anywhere but me.
"Carter, no, Sam," I say, walking towards her, "If we did get together, I can't promise you anything except that I love you, geez, I suck with words." I see her smile wide at my embarrassment and she takes a tentative step forward. I match it while continuing, "And maybe," Another step, "We could possibly," Just one step away and suddenly I've lost my ability to speak at all. Sam seems to sense it and nods to my still unspoken question, before pulling me into a another kiss.
And this time, I don't plan on pulling away, not again, not ever.
