Summary: Sam gets dance lessons for her birthday but she doesn't have a dance partner, until fate intervenes.
Disclaimer: Okay I don't own Stargate SG-1 or anything to do with it's universe, you know that and I know that so lets not bring it up. I also don't own "Sex on the Beach" but I do recommend it. I do own the plot.
Author's Note: Part two! This continues to be my escape and I'm still working diligently on other projects but give a girl a break! Besides I'm really starting to have fun with this story.
-----------------
Daniel sat at his desk steadying his nerves; it was now seven p.m. on a Friday evening, the exact time that Sam left base on a good day. He exhaled; he really didn't want to break the news to his blonde friend that he wasn't going to be able to be her partner for her dance class but he already had Jack willing and awaiting the chance for being her partner. At the thought a whole new wave of anxiety rushed over the archeologist, no doubt Sam would be disappointed in his unavailability to attend the classes but he had gone and asked Jack to replace him without even consulting her. Daniel forced his mind to quiet as he built up his courage and headed for the nearest elevator.
-----------------
Sam walked towards her car with her keys in her hand and a smile on her face, she was still disappointed that Pete had canceled but the weekend was looking up and it was all due to her handsome archeologist.
"Sam wait up!" Daniel called from behind Sam and she quickly halted and turned on her heels, her smile shifting to a grin.
"Hi Daniel."
"Hi Sam." Daniel breathed slightly heavily as he stopped by Sam's side. He took a moment to catch his breath before staring into her eyes and finding his courage; "Listen Sam I need to talk to you."
Sam immediately noticed that something was wrong, just by Daniel's demeanor and a million possibilities ran though her mind; "What is it Daniel?"
"It's about tomorrow." Daniel replied.
His answer startled Sam; she had been expecting just about any other possibility than that; "Oh...okay."
"I'm so sorry Sam but I forgot that I've had a trip planned to Egypt with Catherine and Ernest for months, it completely slipped my mind." Daniel began explaining.
All Sam could muster was a few murmured words; "Oh..."
"And we leave tomorrow at twelve, that's hours before the class, listen Sam I'm so sorry, you know that I really wanted to do this with you right?" Daniel's blue eyes searched hers trying to find some kind of understanding.
Sam nodded vigorously, hoping that it would relieve Daniel's tension; "Oh yeah of course, don't worry about it."
"Well I didn't want to leave you without a partner so I took the liberty of finding you a new partner, I hope that's okay with you." Daniel said, still searching Sam's eyes but this time for panic but he found none.
Quickly a list of men ran though Sam's mind, all possible candidates that she knew owed Daniel a favor, Major Paul Davis had lost a bet on Jack during a briefing a few months back, the bet had been how long Jack could go before bringing attention to himself and Daniel won with a guess of six minutes, next on the list was Major James Colburn, one of the members of SG-2, who still owed Daniel for going a week without getting hurt off world, a few other SGC personnel were on the list but Sam had to admit that the two good Majors were her favorite picks. They had both been the topic of discussion on many a girl's night with Janet. Then her subconscious quickly brought forth an image of her good-looking CO but her conscious mind quickly pushed it right back, not wanting to disappoint herself.
Sam looked at Daniel with a new found interest; "Yeah of course that's fine with me, thanks for being so considerate to go though all of the trouble."
"Great..." Daniel smiled just as his cell phone began to ring; he glanced down at the small device to find it was Catherine, "Aw geez, I have to take this, um...he'll pick you up tomorrow at about five-thirty okay?"
Sam shrugged as Daniel began walking back to the elevator, slightly disappointed that she'd have to wait nearly twenty-four hours to find out who her new partner was; "Sure I guess. Make sure he's dressed right!"
Daniel nodded quickly, letting his friend know that he knew the routine as he stepped back into the elevator and waved good-bye to her; "Sorry again!"
Then, just like that, Sam was left alone again. She sighed loudly, the entire situation replaying quickly in her mind, she'd have twenty-four hours to sit around and try and guess who her new partner would be, but if it were one of the men she was thinking about she knew it would well be worth the wait.
-----------------
Sam rushed about her modest home with the clock in the living room leaning precariously close to the five-thirty marker. She was already showered, dressed and had makeup applied, she had been wearing her high heels every chance she got for the past two weeks attempting to get them broken in for the lessons so they weren't causing problems...yet. Sam stopped quickly to look into a mirror; her layered blonde hair was sticking out messily as usual, her cheeks carried just the slightest touch of blush and her eyes sparkled with some new type of eye shadow that she had gotten from Cassie. She quickly applied her lipstick and smoothed out her tight little black salsa dress that fell to her knees and was held up by a strap that ran around her neck. She nervously grabbed her perfume and quickly placed some on the nape of her neck before taking a deep breath.
The door suddenly rang and Sam grabbed her small purse and headed for the door; "Coming!"
Sam opened the door and smiled but the smile quickly turned into a look of shock at the sight of her new dance partner. He stood on the doorstep wearing nice slacks and a button down shirt with his leather jacket hanging over it, his hair stuck out wildly as if he had attempted to shake it up and his chocolate eyes burned with lively energy. Sam could even smell his cologne, a deep musky scent that nearly made her shiver with ecstasy.
"Wow, you look...wow." Jack sighed at the sight of his 2IC and she let out a nervous giggle. "I hope you don't mind that Daniel asked me to sub for him, you were probably expecting some young strapping man on your doorstep huh?"
Sam thought how she would have traded any man on the planet for having Jack standing there but she didn't dare say anything, he was still her CO; "Not at all sir, thank you for doing this."
"No problem." Jack smiled before he held out his arm to her; "Are you ready to go?"
Sam felt her head nod and she felt her body join his on the doorstep before she closed the door but she couldn't have stopped herself even if she tried, but she did hesitate at his offered arm.
"I'll tell you what, during these lesson thingies we drop the formalities, I'm just a friend of a friend who had to bail out of dance lessons, even though Danny needs all the help he can get, does that sound good?" Jack asked, sensing Sam's discomfort.
"That sounds like a good plan sir." Sam nodded.
"That mean's no more 'sirs' or 'Majors' or 'Colonels' or 'Carters' during this thing." Jack said as he pointed a finger at his 2IC, covering all of his bases.
"Okay...Jack." Sam hesitated at his name but it rolled off of her tongue like satin. He grinned happily at her and she took his arm and let him lead her to his truck, the whole time she wished that she hadn't put on her "Sex on the Beach" perfume.
