Author's Note: I just love this song. It's so refreshing! D. Anyway this song has been stuck in my head forever and I just had to do something with it. Just to let you know, this might not be the last time I'll use this song. By the way, it's Maroon 5, 'Sunday Morning'
Sunday Morning
"Okay folks, this will be the last hour for request before we wrap it up for tonight." said a man from the band on stage.
It was Sam's wedding after party and Jack had not moved from his seat since they got to the hall. He felt grim. He had to admit, though, that she looked marvelous today. It was just that they never gave their relationship a chance.
'Was there ever a chance for a relationship? Well, probably not…' Jack thought.
At the other end of the hall from where Jack was sitting, he could see she was having a wonderful time. "As long as she's happy…" Jack whispered softly.
Unaware that someone was sitting near him, he jumped when he hear a voice so close say, "C'mon Jack, they're asking for requests. Why don't you make one?" It was Cassy.
'Of course.' Jack thought grimly.
"Can I make a request to get outta here?" Jack mumbled to himself.
"Did you say something, Jack?" Cassy asked.
"Who me? Naw…" 'Whew! Maybe I should make a request. I mean it won't hurt anyone.' "Okay, Cass, I'll make a request." Jack said.
"Okay! Over here."
As Cassy leaded Jack to the front of the stage, Sam had her eyes on him. Wrapped up in her thoughts, she failed to notice the loss of gleam in his eyes. All she was focused on was the smile on his face as he and Cassy were now walking through the crowd of people on the dance floor. 'Maybe he won't miss me…' Sam thought sadly. 'Then again I did… we did… leave it in the room.' She shook the thought out of her head and tried to focus on whatever she was doing.
"Here! Just tell them what you want them to play." Cassy said.
Jack whispered something to the man and he said, "Yeah we'll keep it anonymous. No problem."
"Okay people! Get yourself on the dance floor because the last song of the night's about to begin!" said the man excitingly. "This is one of my personal favorites. 'Sunday Morning' by Maroon 5."
As the drummer started off the song, Jack asked Cassy "Yah wanna dance?"
"Sure, okay." Cassy said.
Almost everyone was on the dance floor, even Teal'c. "Come Sam, let's go dance." Pete asked.
"Sure, Pete." Sam replied grimly.
Yeah…
Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy,
Living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
"This is a beautiful song Sam, don't you think?" Pete said.
"Yeah, it is. Do you know who requested it?" Sam asked eagerly.
"I don't think they announced yet." Pete stated and they swayed to the song.
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
"You requested this song! It's so beautiful!" Cassy exclaimed.
Jack didn't say anything and just kept swaying to the song as well.
Aw… yeah!
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you,
may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Oh, come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow, driving slow (all I need, all I see)
oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah (bones with me)
I'm a flower in your hair oh oh!
yeah yeah, yeah yeah
When the song ended, the man announced, "The mastermind behind this request would happen to be Anonymous." There was a lot of mumbling and 'booing'. The man apologies and said, "I have to respect Gen. O'Neill's request." The room when silent.
"Oops." Sam looked shocked and her eyes were now randomly searching the dance floor.
"Cassy I think I have to go, now." Jack said
"But…" It was too late. Before Cassy could say anything Jack was already out the door.
Sam excused herself by saying she needed to use the restroom, but Pete knew better and saw her walk over to Cassy. "Cassy, Did you see the General?" Sam asked in almost a pleading tone.
"He went out the door." Cassy stated. Then Sam quickly made her way to the door but before she could open it, she stopped her.
"Sam, I really don't think he wants to see anyone right now." Cassy said sadly.
"I think Cassandra is most probably right." agreed Teal'c
Daniel walked over and said, "Well, like people say, the music you like or listen to usually tells what type of person you are or how you feel. I guess he felt pretty bad about…never mind."
Sam knew what Daniel was gonna say and was glad he stopped. 'I should have known...' Sam thought sadly as the four of them stared out the door's window.
So, Continue? Yes, no, or maybe so? Inspiration from 'Sunday Morning,' Maroon 5.
Tells how Jack feels about their (His and Sam's) situation and all the memories they shared.
