Author's note: sorry it took so long I've been trying to sort out my university stuff and everything you wouldn't believe the amount of paper work you have to fill out!
My Cabin.
This is the best day ever.
Carter was right. This was totally worth the wait.
She walked round the side of the car, her dress billowing in the wind. My, she was beautiful. She walked up to me, linked her arm in mine and stared up at me with those big blue eyes. How could anyone ever resist those?
She steered me towards the cabin. It always looked so beautiful at night when the soft outer lighting silhouetted the cabin against the night sky.
Once the car had left all that could be heard was the crickets chirping in the moonlight and the crunch of the gravel as we made our way towards the door.
She pulled out a key, not sure from where, which surprised me for a second before I remembered that I had given my spare to Daniel in case he had ever needed it.
As I stepped through the doorway, I was overwhelmed. The room was dotted with glowing candles circling a carefully laid table for two in the middle of the room. It was the best spread ever. From where I was standing I could see pie and jell-o and steak and beer. It was perfect not just in food but the fact that only Carter could have produced such an accurate menu of my favourite foods.
I turned and faced her with a huge smile on my face to be greeted with one just as wide if not wider. I leant into her and planted a firm kiss on her lips, which she responded to before leading me over to the table.
Dinner was a pleasant affair. We slowly made our way through most of it, finishing with a glass of jell-o each mine red hers blue.
This day could not get any better.
I led her over to the settee and went across to the fire to see if I could increase the warmth in this place. Strange I'm sure I left the poker on the stand here. I looked up to see it hanging on the other side. Oh great looks like I'm losing my memory with my old age. That's all I need. As I knelt back down I felt a twinge in my leg, assuming it was just the 'old' knee I ignored it.
I finally managed to get a small fire going and I made my way back to where my gorgeous date was curled up on the settee.
I sat next to her and she leant into me, our fingers entwining as we relaxed into each other.
I could feel the steady beating of her heart as her head settled into my shoulder and with the warmth of the fire and the subtle lighting we drifted off into our own little dream worlds.
I woke a couple of hours later to find our bodies entangled. I didn't want to wake her she looked so at peace but I knew if I didn't she would regret it in the morning.
"Sam."
She stirred slightly opened one eye and upon seeing who it was waking her, smiled.
"Come on. Let's go somewhere more comfortable."
She let me lead her towards the bedroom. I went to one of my drawers grabbed a large t-shirt and chucked it across at her. That dress was too amazing to sleep in. She seemed to understand my meaning and she slipped out of it and pulled the t-shirt on. She looked so cute in it.
I had quickly changed and I slipped under the covers her doing the same on the other side. I turned to face her. Her head was pressed into her pillow a shy smile showing on her face. She leaned up and kissed me. Nothing passionate, a goodnight kiss, one that lingered in my mind as we once again snuggled into each other and succumbed to the fantasies of the night.
There was a crash. I woke suddenly aware of how alert I felt. I turned to face Sam her face as set as mine. All those years of off-world mornings had paid off. We silently slipped off the bed and I reached into the drawer next to my bed. Call me odd but I always like to have a way of defending myself wherever I am. With the kind of job I have I feel it necessary. We had just made it too the edge of the bed when the door burst open and we found ourselves surrounded.
"I suggest you drop the gun O'Neill or harm may come to the lovely Samantha over here."
I could feel the adrenaline surging through my body. What the hell was going on here? If they ever hurt Sam….
