Chapter 5: Thoughts and Revelations

After Cris had gone they walked around the house again unable to comprehend why they had been given such a beautiful place. Sam walked into the kitchen to check if their were anything to eat, as their last meal had been at the hospital. She checked the cupboard and true to his word Mr Philips had had the cupboards stocked full of goodies. She went down into the pantry and found all of the perishables such as milk, eggs, meat all stocked down there. The pantry was a lot cooler than the rest of the house so it made sense that all of these kinds of foods were down there.

"Jack! Do you want anything to eat?" she shouted up into the kitchen. Jack came to the door stood there a minute then came down.

"Wow we're not going to need to shop for weeks." He said looking at all of the chickens, beef, pork, eggs, milk and the rest of the contents.

"I know. So are you hungry?" she said watching him carefully.

"Now that you mention it yes I guess I am. What are we going to eat?"

"I could try and cook the chicken there are some books upstairs explaining how to cook different things. Anything we don't eat now we could finish tomorrow."

"Sure that sounds nice. I'll grab the chicken and some vegetables while you go upstairs and find out how we cook these things."

"Ok." She headed up the stairs. As she left Jack watched her, he really enjoyed watching the way her ass swayed as she walked. As he collected the desired ingredients he started thinking. I can't believe my luck; I wake up one day with no memory, no past, nothing but the chance at a new beginning with a gorgeous woman. I wonder if we had any kind of relationship before this, I wonder if she thinks about me the same way I think about her. Probably not why would she, she's a beautiful woman; she could have any man that she wants. She wouldn't want an old man with no memory; she'd want a nice young man with…

"Jack! Are you ok? It's taking you along time to bring up the food and without them I can't cook." Jack snapped out of his thoughts and headed up the stairs

"Yea Sam, I'm ok I couldn't find the carrots." He reaches the top of the stairs and finds her bent down in one of the cupboards looking for something. Sam why do you tease me? I just wanna walk up to you and…

"Jack are you ok?" she had stood up and turned around to find him stood their watching her. She didn't mind it was actually kind of flattering. When he didn't answer she asked again this time walking over to him and taking the food of him. "Jack?"

"What? Oh yea sorry daydreaming." He said looking kind of embarrassed at the fact he had just been caught checking her out.

"Anything interesting?" she asked walking over to the counter where she had placed an open cookery book.

Damn right it was interesting. "Not really. Just trying to work out which bedroom I will have." The same as you hopefully. He smiled.

She saw this smile and just smiled back. Wow you look so cute when you smile like that. She started preparing the meal as she was instructed by the book. It took about an hour but she didn't mind she had Jack for company, he didn't speak much but when he did he made her laugh.

When she had finally finished she told him to go in the dining room and set out the table while she dished everything up. He set out two place settings, opposite one another so he could see her face while she ate. When he had finished he went back into the kitchen to see if she needed any help, she didn't and just told him to sit down at the table while she brought it in.

He did as he was told and watched as she brought the chicken in first, followed by the potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, parsnips and peas. "You do realise you are only feeding us two not the entire town."

"Yea well I want to make sure we had enough." She smiled as she sat down. To be totally truthful she had gotten a bit carried away but it didn't matter there was plenty of food to last weeks yet so they weren't going to go hungry.

Jack carved the chicken and they both filled their plates with vegetables. They both ate and watched each other lovingly.

"Sam can I ask you something?" he said after about five minutes of silence

"Yea sure shoot."

"Ok. I was just wondering… um… I was just wondering if…if… how can I put this…"

"Jack just spit it out already" she said amused at his sudden rambling.

"I was wondering if had any kind of feelings towards me." He looked down at his plate and she nearly choked on the potato she was eating.

"Are you ok?" he said after jumping up and looking at her as if she was about to die.

"Yea I'm ok. It's just you caught me little of guard that's all." She said once she had managed to shift the potato.

"So?"

"So, what?"

"Do you have any feelings towards me?" he was looking very worried now and felt like he had put his foot in it. God what have I done? I have just ruined the best thing in my life. Well I think it was the best thing in my life.

"Yes Jack." She replied blushing slightly, bringing him out of his thoughts. It was his turn to nearly choke.

"Excuse me." He managed to say after the splutters.

"Yes jack I do have feelings towards you. I have since the first time I saw you."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I was worried about ruining a good thing. Or getting my memory back and finding out I had some one back home. Mostly I was scared that you didn't like me that way."

He stood up and walked around the table. He stopped beside her and knelt down. "How could you think that I didn't like you? You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen." He put his hand gently on her face and pushed a stray piece of hair of her face.

The feel of his hand on her face made her tingle inside but all of a sudden she got a feeling that it was wrong. She pulled away just as he was about to kiss her. "I'm sorry, I can't do this." And with that she got up and ran up the stairs to a bedroom, her bedroom now, leaving a very shocked Jack to clean up the dishes. He thought about going after her but decided it would probably be better to let her calm down first.

After he finished clearing up it was dark outside obviously late. He went upstairs and knocked on the first bedroom door no answer so he decided that was his bedroom and went on knocking on the doors in search of Sam. He knocked on the third door again no answer. He opened the door slowly and could hear muffled sobs. It was dark inside but he could just make out a figure curled up on the bed facing away from him.

"Sam? Sam? Are you ok?" he said quietly as he walked slowly into the room.

"Jack just leave me alone. I need to think." She said not moving to face him.

"Ok but when you decide you want to talk I'm in the first room. Ok?" he turned to leave feeling upset that he could have gotten her so upset.

"Jack?" she said finally turning over. He stopped "Yes." He turned around so he was now looking into her deep blue eyes.

"I just want you to know it's nothing you did. It's just my head is so mixed up at the moment."

"I understand maybe we should just forget it for a while till we are settled in properly then we can see what happens."

"Ok. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Sam." And with that he turned and left closing the door behind him. He walked to his bed, stripped down to his underwear, got in and just laid their thinking of what just happened and what could have happened as he slowly drifted of to sleep.

I am sorry to say that I am going on holiday for a week so you will have to wait for the next few chapters. I should have a couple done for then.
