Sam's POV
Sam was working late in her lab yet again when she was startled by the phone.
"Carter" she said as she snatched up the phone.
"Hey, Babe Are you coming over tonight we could go out for dinner" Pete asked her.
'Bugger' Sam thought she really didn't want to see him tonight. The relationship was still so new but she was growing bored of him very quickly.
"Sorry Pete I can't I've got to finish this experiment before I can leave" Sam lied she though it sound like a plausible excuse.
"Oh" sighed Pete not bothering to cover his disappointment "OK, well I guess I'll give you a call tomorrow honey"
"I'll talk to you then, sorry about tonight , Goodnight Pete" she said as she hung up the phone and rubbed her eyes.
She looked at her watch it was after 21:00 and she was starting to feel hungry. Sam spied her coffee mug sitting on the corner of her desk. Yep Coffee was definitely needed she grabbed her mug and headed in the direction of Daniel's lab hoping he would have a freshly brew pot of coffee on. As she rounded the corner she was so distracted she almost ran straight into Jack.
"General" she acknowledged.
"Carter how many time have I told you AT ease" Jack playfully scolded.Jack's smirk had always been able to know her slightly off-balance and tonight was no exception. Seeing this Jack pounced at the opportunity.
"Hey Carter, Have you eaten yet cause I've just finished all my reports for the night & Daniel's gone home for the night" he asked her.
"No I haven't yet, Sir and since when does Daniel leave before 22:00" she asked.
"He has ever since we got Sarah back" he told her with a grin. "So Come on, Carter let's blow this place and get some chow besides the mess in closed." he suggested widening his smile.
God, she loved that grin of his. "Well, I am getting hungry, Sir, I was thinking Thai food". She smiled one of her special General smiles.
"Ah, I know just the place, I'll meet you topside in 20 mins" Jack said
Jack's POV
Jack sauntered his way back to the men's locker room to get changed the smile on his face was huge. The Plan so far was working perfectly he had caught her off guard enough that she had just agreed to dinner with him. 'Maybe she can ignore us when she has too, but not forever' he thought 'and I'll be damned if I'm going to let Pete win.'
Jack headed to the elevator with a purposeful stride the competition was definitely on.
