Authors Note: I'm glad that many of you want me to continue this story. I was planning to leave this story at one chapter. I wanted to write a little Daniel and Jack friendship moment, but you have all inspired my otherwise. I am open to suggestions as I haven't thought too far ahead for this story. Thanks for the reviews and I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 4
"So, what now?" Jack asked, feeling a little awkward.
"You're the one with all the answers tonight" she told him with a smile on her face.
"Yes, but I didn't think this far ahead" he said.
"Can I get you another beer?" she asked pointing to the Guiness in his hand.
"I haven't even started this one" he told her as he took a swig.
"How about a movie?" she asked.
"Okay, as long as it's not a chick flick" he said smiling.
"Wow, you sure know how to win a girl over" she responded laughing.
"You said yes already, I see no need of putting myself through a chick flick" he told her.
"How about Lethal Weapon 4? Some romance and some action" she asked him.
"Alright" he told her and took another swig of his beer.
Sam got up off the couch and headed towards her DVD player and started the movie. She came back to the couch and sat down a little closer to him than she did the first time. She picked up her beer off the coffee table and leaned back into the couch while the opening credits started.
About half way through the movie Jack decided he needed another beer. "Do you mind if I help myself?" he asked Sam as he pointed to his now empty beer bottle.
"Go ahead, can you get me one too?" she asked.
"Sure" he said. He got up from the couch and headed towards her kitchen. He grabbed two beers from the fridge and headed back to the living room. He handed her a beer and then sat down next to her, leaving only about six inches between them. Sam looked up at him and smiled her thanks for the beer. Jack just gave her a small smile back.
Once the movie ended, Sam grabbed the remote and turned it off. Guess it was too much to hope for that she would fall asleep on my shoulder. "We never decided where to go for our date" he said, finally voicing what he had been thinking for most of the movie. Other than the small chant in his head that kept saying she said yes, she actually said yes.
"No, we didn't" was all she said.
"Anything in particular you are dying to do?" he asked.
She just laughed, "No, not really" she told him.
"So you want me to decide everything" he stated.
"I trust you not to pick something stupid" she told him.
"We could go to the Science Center" he told her laughing. She just gave him a questioning look. "You're right. The stuff they show there is beyond me"
"It's for kids" she told him.
"You're point?" he asked. She just laughed at him and he was glad that he finally eased some of the tension in the room. "I guess I have some thinking to do."
"Be careful" she told him smiling. One day after retirement and she's lost all respect for me.
"Funny" was all he would say to her comment.
I have an idea in mind on where I want them to go for their first date, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Please review, tell me what you think.
I hope to have the next chapter up in about 2 or 3 days.
