Part 3
"I…um…I do have feelings for ya Teyla," John said nervously.
"Then my answer to your question is that I return your affection," Teyla said kissing John on his cheek and then remembered that they had an audience.
"Aww a KODAK moment Dex where's a camera when ya need one," Mitch said.
"Shut it Mitch," John said pulling Teyla close.
"Fine you're a party pooper ya know that," Mitch retorted.
"Whatever Mitch just drink your beer," John said as Teyla snuggled closer content now that she'd revealed her feelings and that they were reciprocated.
"You know you're going to have a hell of a headache come morning Teyla," John said smiling down at her.
"I'll manage," Teyla said as she breathed in his scent and felt arousal shoot through her body. Calm I have just got him there's no for this yet she thought to herself.
"I'll just rest for a moment," Teyla mumbled as she closed her eyes.
"So guys what have you been up to while I've been gone?" John asked after Teyla closed her eyes.
"Not much running a few missions in Iraq and around the Middle East," Mitch replied.
"Obviously not as much as you have," Dex said.
"Funny Dex…I'll be right back just let me put her upstairs," John said lifting Teyla up into his arms. With Teyla held securely in his arms John moved towards the stairway ascending the steps to the second story of his home. The hallway walls held many pictures of the aircrafts he'd flown, photos of deceased family members, and old friends. Walking down the short hallway John walked into the room at the end of the corridor. The room was simple since he was rarely home it only held a dresser, a king size bed, a night stand holding a few pictures and lamp. Laying Teyla down onto the bed John reached for the blanket at the foot of the bed and covered her with it. Walking out of the room John went back downstairs to join his friends.
"Hey man," Mitch said handing out a beer.
"Hey guys," John said accepting the offered drink.
"Shep you remember that time in Afghanistan when we were evacing that Special Ops team," Dex asked.
"Yeah when I took my Blackhawk over that bridge as a shortcut," John said smiling.
"Yeah you were crazy there was no way that I was going to take a Blackhawk over a bridge with enemy tanks on it even to get to an evac site faster," Dex said.
"But I did and I beat you there," John said drinking his beer.
"Only by a few minutes Shep," Mitch said.
"So what the story behind the girl Shep?" Mitch asked.
