The man was impossible. He actually thought that me and Daniel…
I hold my tongue wanting to scream in aggravation. I should let him continue thinking that was the truth. It would serve him right. He had shut me out without letting me explain what had happened.
He had jumped to conclusions and thought I had slept with Daniel.
Me and Daniel?
Oh that was wrong is so many ways. Daniel was like a brother to me. I
felt the same way about Teal'c and to have him think that I would do it
with him?
Eww! Sleeping with my brother no way that was so wrong in so many ways
and to have him think this of Daniel and me it was inconceivable how the
slip of the tongue had resulted in this pickle I was in.
Poor Daniel, he nearly ran back to earth. He was terrified of what the
colonel was going to do to him but why did the colonel care. He had
agreed to leave it in the room and now that I had been replaced by her he
shouldn't care right?
I had sworn Daniel to secrecy over the topless thing and he had kept his
word. It was me that had slipped and now we were both paying for it.
This had turned out to be such a big mess but I needed to set the record
straight.
I was trying to figure out a way of telling the colonel after Teal'c had
come to our rescue.
I had sat down to gather my thoughts when I felt him standing in front of
me. I looked up and he handed me my pack.
Daniel and Teal'c had already left to the gate and the walk back to the
stargate would give me the privacy I needed to tell him the whole story.
Hopefully by the time we hit the showers this would be resolved and we
could get back to saving the world.
I had just asked him not to kill Daniel. The look on his face spoke
volumes. It sent a chill down my spine and he spoke.
He went on to say he didn't want to know that whatever me and Daniel did
on our spare time was none of his business and it must have been going on
for a while.
That shocked me, for him to think I would do something that major
something that would affect the team and not include him or Teal'c.
He then lost his mask when he whispered the last and said he wished "us"
well and would have like to know about this in another way instead of me
blurting it out.
I tried to explain to him but he refused to listen. I couldn't believe
he ordered me to drop the subject. I wanted to yell at him, 'you pig head
stubborn man it's not what you think it was something that I had done in
a moment of weakness and it was because of you I did it.
We walked back to the gate in silence. I had failed to explain to him
what had happened but now he refused to listen to me that's when the
childish side of me kicked in saying I should let him think the worse. It
just went to show him that he didn't trust me and that it wasn't my
imagination when I felt he was pulling away from me.
We got to the gate and I made eye contact with Daniel. He could see that
I had not explained anything and he scrambled up the stairs and squeaked
that he would see us on the base.
I turned to see no emotion from the colonel. I could only imagine him
feeling betrayed by me and Daniel. He thought we had broken his trust in us and we hadn't done anything.
So he saw me topless it wasn't what he thought and once this stubborn
idiot of a man got it in his head that it was true there was little one
could do to change his mind.
I saw the concern on Teal'c's face and went up to him and said I'd
explain everything to him later and spoke loud enough for the colonel to
hear that I was not happy about the outcome of our discussion. I walked
up the stairs with all the dignity I could muster and didn't turn back.
Let him stew.
I got the other side and General Hammond asked if everything was okay. I
assured him that it was. He said that Daniel had told him about the
mishap with the natives and said the briefing wouldn't be held till
tomorrow morning. I asked if I could be excused to go to the infirmary.
He nodded and I walked out of the room.
I went straight to the infirmary and saw Daniel scramble to his feet and
looking behind me.
"He's not with me Daniel relax and don't worry he doesn't want to know
how you got to see me topless. He said he was happy for us and only
wished we'd announce that we were together sooner."
I said the last while trying to fight back the tears of anger or was it
regret.
Daniel got off the bed and said it would work out that the colonel would
see that there was nothing between us other then love between a brother
and sister.
I snorted and said he deserved to think there was something going on
between us. Daniel nodded his head and whispered he knew there was a mean
streak in me but that would be cruel to Jack.
"Tell him Sam he'll understand. Like I did and if not tell him that you
had lots of alcohol it's the truth."
I told him he better hurry before the colonel got here and he said he was
already done and would be hiding out till the coast was clear.
"Remind me never to get Jack that angry with me Sam those looks chilled
me to the bone I never want to be on the receiving end of that stare
ever again."
He asked me to call him when this was all cleared up and poked his head
out the door to see if the coast was clear and left to hide.
They hadn't made it to the infirmary so I headed to the showers to get
cleaned up. I finished and decided to drive over to the colonel's and
wait. He was going to hear the whole tale if it was the last thing I did.
