At the Hotel Room

Sam struggled a little in front of her room trying to balance the flower, the package and her brief case in her arms while searching for her keycard in her purse. She found the key, inserted it and opened the door. Once inside the room, she dropped her brief case, which made a loud noise followed by a crash sound that sounded like metal hitting the floor, and a man's voice coming from the kitchen.

"Damn!" the man cursed, followed by more crashing sound.

Sam became alerted, took a look at the surroundings and spotted a leather coat hung on the back of the chair. That looked familiar.

"Who's there? I am a Major in the Air Force, I have a gun and I am not afraid to use it so whoever you are better come out before I shoot." Sam shouted towards the kitchen and dropped her stuff on the floor, reaching for the gun in her purse at the same time.

"It's me Sam, don't shoot. I am coming out now." Just as the man finished telling Sam that, he walked over to the hallway where Sam could see him standing right where she was. And there he was, Colonel Jack O'Neill, wearing a loose fitted shirt and pant looking as sharp as they came, although he's looking a little nervous about something.

"Jack?" Sam couldn't believe it; her eyes went wide as she saw the man before her, the man that was on her mind a few moments ago is now standing right in front of her. Her face lit up and gave him a blinding smile as she walked towards him.

"Yes, Major. Now, I don't believe that's a proper greeting to your superior, I think somebody should look into it." Jack said with a serious tone, but judging by the big grin he had on his face you can tell he's not serious about what he just said.

As Jack finished his little speech, Sam's arms came around his neck while his arms went around her waist to pull her close to him in an embrace.

"I can't believe you are here!" Sam murmured as she put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes to enjoy the warmth their closeness had brought and to really take in what had happened.

Jack pulled her to him more, he too needed the reassurance that he's here with her, the woman who had been in his mind since the day she left, wait no, since the day they met four years ago.

Sam pulled back a little, just enough for her to see his brown eyes. She saw tenderness, joy and love. She smiled unconsciously as she took in the sight in front of her.

"Believe it or not, I am here and I am not going anywhere." Jack replied and with a smile that reflected his joy of being here with her, he leaned down a little just to capture her lips with his. It was a light kiss, finished as fast as it begins. It was not meant to do anything to her other than showed her how much he cared and how much it meant to be here with her. Nevertheless, the kiss still made her legs went weak and if she's not in Jack's arms right now, she would probably fall.

Sam pulled back a little again; she wanted to see those brown eyes she loved so much. She gave him another smile that was reserved just for him and asked:

"How long can you stay?" Sam said it with a small frown on her face. It was nothing more than a whisper, partly because she was still trying to recover from the kiss, and partly because she was afraid to hear the answer.

"As long as you want me." Jack replied calmly and one of his hands came up from her waist to caress her face, trying to smooth away the frown she had.

Once his words were out of his mouth, Sam's face lit up again and bury herself in Jack's arms, this time enjoying the unique sent that was his and let out the breath she didn't know she was holding.
