Chapter 21 by Abbot & Natters
Okay, here's the last chapter for this week. Thank you for reading and Please keep up the reviewing – They give us warm and fuzzy feelings. Join us Same Gate time, same Gate channel on Monday for Chapter 22 ;)
Janet's POV
I wonder if Teal'c would mind swapping with me for the night? He gets my nice comfy bed, and I get my nice sexy archaeologist. After all, Teal'c's a tall man. It can't be very comfy for him in a camp bed on the floor.
That doesn't sound too desperate does it?
Nope. A sound logical theory.
Without a hope in hell of fooling him. Quiet he may be, but Teal'c is no idiot.
Pity. I was looking forward to 'christening' the second spare room. I mean, with the way Daniel sleeps, we'd have no problem on the smaller bed. It'd be… cosy. Maybe I can suggest it tomor… when they get back from P2Y-957, in five days time. Stupid duty roster.
Jack's POV
I wonder if Cassie would trade rooms with me. I mean, she's always endorsing me and Carter spending romantic time together, right? What could be more romantic than spending the night together, holding each other?
Well, you not being drunk for one thing, I answered myself.
Great. I hate conversing with myself. He's always right, and cunning about it too.
What about starlit nights at your cabin, lunkhead?
My inner voice was right. It DID have a certain appeal. Before I knew it, I was staggering to my feet. I stumbled to the door, opened it as quietly as I could. I had Carter's door open before I knew what I was doing.
And there she lay.
Peaceful as a sleeping infant, eyes closed, hair askew. Chest rising and falling rhythmically. Somehow, she managed to make her PJ's look...enchanting. My first instinct was to curl up behind her and go to sleep. That was soon quashed my that little voice inside my head claiming it was common sense.
The second was to brush that hair gently aside. THAT I did. I stared at her another five minutes, staggered back to bed, hand tingling where our skin had met.
