Sam's POV

Sam headed down to the locker room to have a quick shower and change. Opening her locker she pulled out her little red top and her black jeans. She looked in the mirror to apply the final touches of her makeup and brush her hair.

She was heading back to the elevator when she realized 'I'm having dinner with Jack' she felt her heart flutter and wondered why she never felt that way with Pete. As Sam stepped out of the elevator on level 11 she felt like a girl on prom night she couldn't help but feel a little excited. As she headed through the last security checkpoint she noticed in the log that the General hadn't signed out yet. Sam walked towards Jack's truck while looking at the stars 'it's such a beautiful starry night' she thought.

Jack's POV

Jack walked out of the last security checkpoint when he saw Sam standing next to his truck looking at the stars. Damn he thought she looks great I love that little red top of hers 'Down boy don't give the game away yet' Jack thought. Sam turned around when she heard Jack approaching the truck.

"Ready to go, Sir" She smiled brightly

'As I'll ever be' he thought. "Sure, Sam, You'll love this place" he grinned "best Thai food place in town" as he unlocked his truck.

The drive over to the restaurant was filled with general conversation. Jack asked he how she was going with her latest work on her bike. Sam asked him how the cabin was lately. They talked and talked. When Jack finally pulled into the car park at the restaurant Sam gasped. "Sir, this is beautiful." taking in the sweeping views of Colorado springs far below. The restaurant was set high on the side of the mountain tucked just far enough away from the main road that it felt like you where in the middle of nowhere.

"Just wait till you see what's next Sam." Jack grinned and opened the door to the restaurant for her.

Jack and Sam were shown to their table overlooking the beautiful valley below them. The floor to ceiling glass windows gave the couple a spectacular view of the city below. "Sir, this is wonderful how did you find this place." Sam asked Jack in awe.

"General Hammond told me about it once. There take away is great." Jack smiled. "They even do home delivery." Jack ordered a bottle of red wine and a couple of starters.

"So how are Mark and the kids" Jack asked before taking a mouthful of curry puff with sweet chili sauce. "The kids are great " Sam replied taking a sip of her wine. "I can't believe that Jake starts middle school in the fall and Aly is starting grade 2"

"Yeah they grow up so fast." Jack replied. "Are you going to go out and see them next time you've got leave. "

"Actually I was going to wait until Dad gets back before I head over to San Diego so we could go together." Sam smiled.

Jack couldn't believe how total relaxed he was feeling with Sam. They had just finished their 3 bottle of red wine when the desert menu was offer.

"Oh No Sam you can't look at the desert menu" Jack teased

"And why not, Jack" Sam gave him a cheeky grin.

"Because they don't have your favorite." Jack moved the desert menu to the left side of the table just as Sam reached out for it. Sam saw what Jack was doing and immediately grabbed it from the left. "Hey you're not supposed to be that quick" Jack complained. "Getting slower aren't you Jack".

Jack didn't wait for Sam to look at the menu as he ordered her favorite of Tiramus and ice cream hold the cream. And a slice of Chocolate mud cake for himself.

"How did you know what my favorite desert is." she queried. "Because every-time it's on the menu at the commissary you're always earlier for lunch and you always get the 1st slice" Jack joked.

The table behind them was starting to get a little be loud when a birthday cake was brought out of the kitchen. "Sounds like someone is enjoying getting a year older" Jack laughed causing Sam to nearly choke on her wine.

Sam and Jack's deserts arrived just as the group behind started taking photo's of their guests. "Oh the tiramus is amazing it's like pure velvet." Sam said between bites. "Yeah this chocolate is to die for too." "Hey Sam do you want my chocolate log on top" Jack said holding out the fork with the chocolate log on. Sam leaned towards Jack as he brought the fork to her lips. "MMMMM that's soooo good." She moaned as she licked her lips. . "Thought you'd like that" Jack told her. "Here you've got to try this" Sam feed Jack the fork load of tiramus. "Oh, Now that's good" Jack agreed. Jack was trying to ignore the flash going off behind them but it was starting to get annoying.

"Hey Sam feel like taking a walk around the place after we have finished these" Jack indicated to their plates. "Sound's good".

Jack motioned their waiter and asked for the cheque. After the cheque was settled they walked outside the restaurant.

"So which way are we heading" Sam asked. "It's up this way "Jack said as offered his arm to Sam. Surprisingly Sam took his arm and they started up the hill. "We're not going to need our boots are we" Sam teased. Jack looked down at her shoes. "No you'll be fine in those." Jack motioned to her black 3 inch heeled boots.

They walked for about 10 mins when they came to a clearing that overlooked the valley below and the perfect starry night sky. "That's so .. Amazing" Sam commented.

"I usually come up here to think when I get stressed." Jack replied lazily.

Sam's POV

Sam turned towards Jack, "Thank you for such a wonderful evening and for showing me this place " Sam said.

"Hey I take all my friends here" he replied with a sheepishly grin. Sam knew he didn't take anyone to his 'special' places and she felt very privileged that he had allowed her to see this.

She looked into his deliciously brown eyes they were getting darker with his desire.

"It's been a perfect evening " Sam whispered. Their gazes locked. She felt Jack lean closer. She had lost herself in the moment her mind screamed that she shouldn't be doing this but her heart told her yes she should. For once in her life Sam surrendered to her heart and closed the distance to Jack.

The kiss was electrifying. She was all but going weak at the knees as Jack's arm went around her waist as if he sensed her knees going.

Sam returned the kiss with the same passion and longing that Jack had.

When they finally broke apart resting her forehead against his. "Oh Wow.." She managed to say breathlessly. "Umm I'll say" Jack quipped.

Jack's POV

Jack leaned closer he wasn't sure but this felt right and usually his gut instinct was always correct. Jack felt his heart leap when she closed the gap between them. All the years of longing for wanting this no it wasn't want it was needing this had finally brought them to this.

Jack kissed Sam with all the passion that he had felt for so long now. He almost stopped breathing when he realized that she was returning his kiss with the same amount of intensity.

Looking into her eyes from the comfortable position they were in Jack whispered "I suppose we should be getting back soon." not trusting himself to stop just at that one kiss.

"Yeah I suppose we should" Looking in each other's eyes neither one of them notice the shooting star in the sky over them.
