Neither of them said anything.
"We're not any good at this are we? Talking about how we feel." Sam said after a few minutes.
"Being the military the try to drill it out of you. Breaking down and confessing your feelings in the heat of battle would be good for morale or the Air Force image." Jack said with a sigh.
"I guess we're going to have to take the Cher principle."
"Cher principle?" Jack questioned.
"Cassie told me about it. It makes a lot of sense."
"You're taking advice from a fourteen year old?" Jack questioned.
"She saw it on Oprah." Sam said with a shrug.
"I still don't get it. What's Cher got to do with anything?"
"~ If you wanna know if he loves you so, it's in his kiss.~" Sam sung as she walked towards him.
"Ah." He said as she put her hand on his cheek.
"Jack, breathe." Sam advised.
"You called me..." He didn't get to finish his sentence as she crushed her lips to hers. Sam sank onto his lap as his hand circled around the back of her neck and deepened the kiss even more.
"Ummm." Sam said as they broke the kiss minutes later.
"Uh huh." Jack agreed.
"I guess we got our answer." She said still sitting in his lap. "Look I like you a lot I always have, I think you're smart and sweet and you have a wonderful sense of humour. You make you me feel good about myself, you have a lot of courage and you don't back down easily. You're a good guy Jack and if you want to I want to see where this goes."
"I like you a lot too and I'd like that." The doorbell rang. "Only Daniel can have this bad timing."
"I'll let him in on my way out." She wiped the lipstick from his mouth.
"Don't leave I'll get rid of him."
"No, it's fine. Do you have plans for tomorrow?" She asked knowing he had the next day off too.
"No."
"Good, you can come and help me I want to paint my living room and bring the cheesecake." The doorbell rang again. "I'll see you tomorrow." She gave him another quick kiss, before she could get too far she he still had a gentle grip on his wrist. She gave him a gentle smile. "Night Jack."
"Night Sam." Sam slipped back inside as the doorbell rang again, she wiped her mouth free of her smudged lipstick and grabbed her bag and coat and opened the door.
"Hey Daniel."
"Sam?" Daniel questioned. "I didn't realise you were here. Janet let me have my cast off early so I thought I'd come and see Jack."
"The Colonel made me dinner to say thank you for staying with him. I'm just heading home, he's out on the deck. I'm glad that you got your cast off and I'll see the day after tomorrow. Goodnight."
"Night Sam."
"We're not any good at this are we? Talking about how we feel." Sam said after a few minutes.
