And now...onto the story:o)
The next day, Sam had the goofiest grin on her face as she walked into work. She and O'Neill had had a wonderful evening together—talking, laughing, cuddling, and most important of all: kissing. His kisses were like nothing she'd ever experienced before! They were soft, tender, hungry, and lingering, with the promise of more. They made her feel worshipped, like he was paying homage to her in the most special way. She never wanted them to end.
Together, they had decided to go slow. They'd date, flirt, and do things like a normal couple would. Even if the President didn't give them permission, they had vowed to continue to act on their newly realized feelings…even if it meant meeting in secret. They hoped it didn't turn to that, however…not being able to express the way they feel would be very hard in public.
And that had made it very hard on their desires not to go home together and continue from where they had left off. But somehow, they had parted ways at 2:00 hours that morning…after a very long, very sweet good-night—actually good-morning—kiss.
But that was hours before. Sam was smiling because she knew that she'd be able to see her Colonel here again at work…but first, she needed to take a detour.
"Janet!"
There came no answer from the still infirmary. No one had gotten hurt—yet—on the base, and so the most logical choice would be to look for her in her office.
"Janet?"
The door was shut.
Sam, slightly confused, went to the door and stealthily tried the handle. It was open. So she shrugged and decided to surprise the doctor by throwing the door open. What she found made her smile and remember even fiercer.
Janet was standing behind her desk, locked in a passionate kiss with none other than Daniel! They appeared to have not noticed that she had entered the room…and if they did, they didn't acknowledge it. After waiting a few minutes, Sam finally cleared her throat. The couple slowly ended the kiss and looked at her with a smile.
"Hey, Sam," Janet greeted, liking the goofy smile the Major unconsciously wore. "What can I do for you?"
"Well, I was hoping to talk to you for a minute," Sam said. She was suddenly nervous and unsure about how Janet would react to what she had so say. Chiding herself, she knew that the doctor was a very good friend and that she'd be happy for her and the Colonel.
Shaking her head slightly to bring her back to reality, she was just in time to hear her friend say, "Of course! Daniel was just leaving."
"Mmm…no, I wasn't. But I will…for now…" he said and unabashedly swooped in for another kiss from Janet before leaving.
"Briefing in an hour, Sam?" he called over his shoulder with a smile.
"I'll be there!" she smiled back and finally turned to face her friend.
"So?" the doctor inquired, taking a seat behind her desk while trying to fix her disheveled and thoroughly-kissed appearance.
"Well, yesterday both Jack and I received letters from an anonymous person, setting—"
"Jack?" Janet pretended to be shocked. Carter never used the Colonel's first name…even when off duty. Looking up at her friend, Janet noticed that Sam blushed slightly at getting caught.
"The Colonel! You know what I mean… Anyway! The person set us up together…alone…in a semi-secluded spot. I guess they were hoping that we'd do something. And, well…we did!"
Janet cheered, letting her excitement from the night before come out now. She knew part of the results of what had happened yesterday, though not all of them, so she was happy to be hearing them now. "Well? What happened?"
"We talked, ate, laughed…had a great time. We cuddled under the stars, and shared some amazing kisses." Sam sighed, and her eyes got a far-away look in them. Coming quickly back to reality, however, she continued. "But most importantly, we decided to go slow…and to continue to see each other romantically even without the President's approval. We've finally decided not to leave things in that room. Jack says that the President owes him big time for saving the world multiple times, so he's going to try to get things straightened out so we can be together. Oh, Janet, I feel so excited and worried!"
"Everything'll be fine," Janet soothed. "It's a lucky thing that anonymous person set you two up!"
"Yes, it was. I'm forever grateful to them for doing this."
Janet smiled fiendishly and slowly got up from her chair, moving around it towards the exit as if she was checking something out. Turning towards the Major, she said, "You're most welcome," and ran out of the infirmary, heading towards Daniel's lab.
"JANET!"
It was sweet, sweet revenge…
