Jack arrived at O'Mallys before Sam. He looked at his watch, it read 1750.

"How did I get here early?" He asked his truck. After turning off the engine, he jumped out of his truck and closed the door and turned just in time to see a small, silver Volvo turn into the parking lot. It drove over and parked in the spot beside his truck. He walked around his truck the front of his truck just in time to see a blond head appear.

"Hey!" He called out.

"Hi sir." Sam replied closing her door and locking it.

Jack turned and they walked up to the front door of O'Mallys side by side. "We're off duty tonight, drop the 'Sirs' and the 'Colonels' tonight call me Jack."

"Okay, as long as you call me Sam." She said as Jack opened the restaurant door. "Thanks." she said as she stepped inside.

"For two?" The waitress asked as they walked into the restaurant.

"Yup." Jack replied.

"Follow me." She said as she lead them to a small booth near the pool tables. "Can I get you something to drink?" She asked after Sam and Jack sat down.

"Beer." Jack said as he took off his jacket.

"Same." Sam said taking off her own coat and set on the seat beside her.

After they had ordered, Jack was the first to speak. "So, this mission tomorrow, it's just standard reckon, right?"

"Yup, all we have to do is explore the city and let Daniel examine the writings."

"I hope that there are a lot of trees on this planet." Sam started to giggle at his comment. "What?" He asked. Just then their meals arrived, which they ate in an comfortable silence.

When they have finished eating, Jack had an idea. "Wanna play some pool?"

Sam looked down at her watch, it was just after 1900. "Sure, but only a couple of games."

"Why only a couple?" Jack asked sounding a little disappointed.

"Because of the mission tomorrow." She replied, playfully she added, "And because I don't want to win too many times in a row, wouldn't want ti make you look too bad Jack."

Jack smiled, he knew that she would most likely beat him, but still he said, "Oh, you think so do you?"

"I don't think so," She said with an evil grin, "I know so."

"Your on Major!" Jack got up from their table and headed over to a pool table to set up a game.

Sam grabbed her beer and followed him. Setting her beer down on the edge of the pool table, she grabbed a pool cue and headed to the end of the table where the white ball was.

"Ladies first." Jack said waving his hand towards the table.

Sam leaned over the table and started to line up her shot. "Your going down Jack." She said as she shot the white ball into the coloured ones. She was able to sink three balls.

Sam walked between Jack ant the pool table. Jack groaned in his head. 'I am so going to lose, she's already sunk three balls.'

"Your stripes." She said as just after sinking another ball. She moved around the table to take her next shot to continue their game of 8-ball.

Jack took another gulp of beer and looked over at his 2IC. 'Sometimes I wish my 2IC wasn't so hot!' He thought as he continued looking at her. She was wearing fairly tight black Jeans and a loser fitting black t-shirt.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Sam say, "It's your turn, Jack." He hadn't realize that she had walked over to him.

"All ready." He grinned. 'Maybe I stand a chance after all!' He walked over to where the white ball was sitting. 'She's only a head by four. As long as I don't screw up!' He lined up the shot. It was a fairly easy one and he sunk it. 'Only three more to go.' He walked around and the table and started to line up another easy shot, which he sunk.

He grinned and looked over at Sam, "Don't get too cocky Jack, you're still two behind me and that looks like a pretty tough shot to me."

Jack looked back to the table and to where the balls had ended up after his last shot. "Damn." He muttered. The white ball was surrounded by all solid coloured balls, all Sams. His only option was to hit one of hers and get a foul. Jack sighed and hit the white ball randomly knowing that it wouldn't sink anything.

"My turn." Sam said cheerfully. She was down to the last ball, the magical 8-ball. 'Oh, man, this shot suck!' She was trying to line the ball up but was not having any luck. She hit the 8-ball, it connected with the side of the table and came to rest inches from the hole. "Damn." she muttered.

Jack examined the table, 'As long as the ball doesn't roll too much or hit anything else, I should be able to win this.' He carefully shot the white ball and sunk one of hiss remaining balls. He did the same with the next one. Then he lined up the white ball with the black ball and shot. It went in.

"Good game." He said moving to stand by Sam, "Wanna play again?"

Sam looked down at her watch. It was almost 2200. 'Wow, that was a long game!' She thought to her self. "Sorry Jack, it's getting late and we have that mission tomorrow."

Jack looked down to his own watch. "Yeah."

They walked over to the bar. Sam went to pay for her drink but Jack stoped her. "I'll get it." he said. Before Sam could object, he added, "You can pay next time."

'Next time?' Sam thought, 'He wants to do this again? Cool! But what about Daniel and Teal'c or ...'

Jack handed Sam her coat, "Shall we go?" He said waving his hand toward the exit.

Sam nodded and put her jacket on. "Thanks for tonight Jack, it was a lot of fun."

Jack grinned, "Wanna do this again sometime?"

She gave him one of her mega-watt smiles, "I'd like that."

"Cool." Jack grinned.

"Goodnight Jack."

Jack leaned his head down and kissed Sam on the cheek. "Goodnight." He whispered. Then turned, unlocked his truck and got in. Just before turning on the engine in his truck, Jack turned his head to look at where Sam was standing. She was still standing there but her head was down and she was looking for something in her purse. She looked over to Jacks truck after she had found her car keys and found him looking at her. She gave him a bright smile which he quicky returned. She then turned, unlocked her car and got in.

'I love that smile.' Jack thought as he started his truck engine, 'I hope I didn't go to far by kissing her' Jack pulled on his seat belt, put the truck into revers and left. 'I am so asking her to dinner again after the mission.' Jack smiled to himself as he headed home.

Once Sam had gotten into her car, her mind started going at 1000 km per second. 'He kissed me!' She smiled, 'But why? Nothing has changed, we are still CO and 2IC, Major and Colonel. But it was nice,' she lifted her hand up to her face and placed her fingers on the spot that he had kissed. Sam pulled out of the parking lot and headed home.

Jack mind was also going non-stop. 'I can't believe I actually kissed her!' Jack thought back to the kiss. The feel of Sam's skin under his lips. Her skin was so soft. 'I want to do that more often.' He decided as he entered his drive way and shut off the truck engine. He went into his house to get a long, good nights sleep.
