-----------------
Jack walked around the side of the truck to open Sam's door for her and offer her a hand, which she gratefully took since she was wearing such a short skirt. They walked into the two-story studio building and found their instructing room was on the second story. The room was bright, with large lights overhead and it had a wall of mirrors that included a stretching bar, implying that ballet also practiced there.
Sam noticed a short woman standing in the middle of the room dressed in a long skirt and a tight, lacy black top and figured her to be the instructor. She approached her with one of her trademark Carter smiles on; "Hello."
"Ah! Hello!" The woman replied back, her voice carrying the traces of an accent.
"Hi, my name is Samantha Carter." Sam said holding her hand out and the instructor shook it readily.
"Hello, I am Rosa, you will be taking the class, no?" Rosa asked, her dark eyes sparkled in all of the lighting.
"Yes I am." Sam nodded.
"Where is your partner?" Rosa asked, her accent stressed.
"Oh, the gentleman over there," Sam said as she pointed Jack out to the woman which wasn't hard to do since he was lingering in a corner by himself.
Jack noticed his new found attention and headed over with a hand held out for Rosa; "Hi."
"Hello." Rosa said and her eyes quickly jumped from Sam to Jack and back, as if she were admiring them. "You are a very lovely couple."
A look of shock, followed quickly by embarrassment washed over Sam; "Oh no..."
"Rosa!" Someone in the doorway called and distracted the instructor who promptly excused herself before Sam got to explain. Sam then turned to her CO, her cheeks still slightly flushed when another couple approached.
"Hi, we couldn't help but over hear." The woman spoke in a light, crisp voice; "I'm Jessica Haris and this is by partner Josh Gibson, we're not really a couple either."
Jack raised an eyebrow at this and side glanced his 2IC before turning back to the young woman; "Couple?"
"Yeah, this is a couple's only class." Josh answered. "Jess and I are police officers, partners, and we both wanted to surprise our significant others so we're posing as a couple for these classes."
Sam exhaled a breath that she didn't know she was holding and heat washed over her face, how could Pete have made such a grand mistake? It would be just plain embarrassing with Daniel, perhaps even a joke but with Jack it was a crawl into bed, close the curtains and never leave your room again experience.
Jack smirked and went to say something when Rosa called the class to attention and spared Sam from further embarrassment.
"Hello everyone! I am Rosa, your instructor. I have much dance experience; my husband and I actually traveled the world doing dance competitions so you are in good hands. The class is a six-week course that will cover not only salsa dancing but also many other kinds of dance, the course actually encourages the couples to find the dance that they are most comfortable with and have them study it. And for all of you romantic women out there to answer the question that you are probably thinking, yes, we are going to cover dirty dancing." Rosa added the last bit with a happy grin on her face but Sam's just turned a deeper shade of red.
"A happy little woman, isn't she?" Jack murmured and Sam could feel his warm breath on her neck. Her only reply was a quick nod of her head.
"Ah terrific! We have volunteers!" Rosa called as she pointed at Jack and Sam, who both became very confused in a very short amount of time. "Come up here!"
Sam quickly glanced at Jack in panic but he managed to keep a cool look about him, he quickly clasped his left hand to the small of her back and lead her up to the front of the room to join Rosa.
"Please! Introduce yourselves!" Rosa said, her accent cut in and out of her vocabulary.
Sam's advanced brain function was failing her as she stood before the class with nothing to say but luckily Jack piped up; "Hello, I'm Jack and this lovely woman with me is Sam."
Rosa beamed at Jack and Sam before she clapped her hands twice, bringing the attention back to herself; "Okay, Sam and Jack will act as the example for our first little warm up and move. Now for the warm up, the man should take the woman's right hand in their left and hold it at shoulder length..."
Jack looked at Sam and gave her one of his little O'Neill smirks that quickly calmed her quickening pulse. He reached out and picked up her hand and put into position as Rosa continued.
"Next, the man puts his right hand on the woman's left shoulder blade but not to tight now! You should be able to move your arm up and down your partner's back quickly. The woman then puts her left hand on your shoulder."
Jack reached out and gently placed his arm on Sam's back, making sure that he left enough room between them that could have fit Teal'c or Daniel. Sam, in turn, placed her hand on his shoulder.
Rosa returned to the front of the class after walking around a few of the couples and looked at Sam and Jack and sighed; "This, is exactly not what you should look like. You and your partner should be about shoulder's length from each other."
Rosa pushed Sam and Jack together so abruptly that Sam half ran into her CO's chest. Rosa turned back to the class, completely unaware of the sudden closeness between Sam and Jack; "Good now next, the man will take a step forward and lean his hips onto his partners. Partner, you shall stand still, letting one of your thighs stay between his legs."
Jack obediently did as Rosa told, his face suddenly very close to his 2IC's, their eyes met and Sam tried her best to fight the increasing embarrassment within her. She reminded herself that she and Pete wouldn't have had a problem doing this and that she and Daniel would have made a game out of it. Besides Jack didn't know that she had had dreams about this exact scenario so why let on?
"Good." Rosa announced to the class; "Next move only your hips in circles, matching that of your partners. I've found that this warm up helps not to pull the muscles in the lower back or upper thighs."
Sam quickly hid her embarrassment; she was a Major in the United States Air Force for the love of everything Asgard! Why was she letting this get to her? She and Jack completed three circles and she kept her composure the entire time.
Jack found himself having a hard time not remembering his fateful meeting with Sam several years earlier in the men's locker room, he knew she remembered only fragments and figured that was why she wasn't having more of a physical reaction to the dance warm up but he sure thought of the incident often.
"No, no, no." Rosa's accented voice cut into Sam and Jack's respective thoughts. "You two look like you're trying to keep up a hula-hoop, no, Jack you must force Sam in the direction that you want to go in, be more forceful."
Jack translated Rosa's words into what he thought she meant, forcing Sam into a tighter, quicker circle and Rosa smiled and nodded; "Good, good."
Jack shot Sam a quick grin; "She said I was good."
All Sam could think was, you have no idea, but her mouth replied differently; "I heard."
"Okay class! Now onto our first real step!" Rosa called out and the modestly small class stopped the warm up and looked at her for direction.
Sam couldn't help but take a deep breath, if that was just the first *warm up* then the idea of more scared her and yet, she was slightly excited.

After Thought: What did you think? The story isn't exactly going the way that I planned but I think so far so good :) Please review and let me know to make sure! And please any ideas for new chapters will be taken into account!
