Then she walked over to where the offices are, while the guys got their bags and headed to the changing rooms where they had their showers and gotten change then they had their briefing. Sam walk into the staff room and put her bags down then she got her pen and pad out and sat down at the table and hand write her report on what happened.
When the guys finish their briefing, they all went their separate ways till Monday. Jack walked over to the staff room, he knew that is where Sam would be. When he walked into the room Sam was still writing, she he stood there and watch
"I'm almost finish Jack"
"How did you know it was me?"
"I could smell you" he walked in with his hands in his pockets while looking at Sam.
"Where would you like to go for dinner Sam?"
"Surprise me"
"Sure" he sat down and waited for her to finish writing. When she did ten minutes later, she looked up at him and smile.
"How did the briefing go?"
"Good"
"Ok well I'm finished" she close her pad and put her pen back into her pencil case then stood up, then Jack did the same
"When you are ready, an airmen will take us home"
"Good" Sam put everything away then Jack picks up her bags for her
"Thanks"
They walk out of the room and outside to see a car already there and no airmen till one walk over to them and saluted to Jack that he did in return
"Sir, I'm here to take you and Sam home"
"Ok lets go"
"Yes sir" they got into the car and the airmen took them home.
"Sam how did the simulations go?"
"Great, they are all happy with my reports and the admiral learnt his lesson on waiting" Jack smile to her
"That good to know" Sam snuggled up to his side
"I miss you Jack"
"I miss you to Sam, it good to be home"
"True"
They were both quiet till the airmen drop them off and headed back to base. They walk inside and Sam went and put her bags away and put a load of washing through and relieved herself before her and Jack left to go out to dinner.
When they got home three hours later, Sam sorted out the washing while Jack made their beds. They sat down and watch a movie together before going to bed for the night.
The next day Sam was doing her studies, when she finishes them and type her SA and had it printed out, she then got her note paid out and type up her report on what had happened, then she printed it out four times. When finished, she shut everything down and sorted everything out before walking out to where she knew Jack would be.
They went for a walk down to the park, they talk for an hour and a half, when they return home they both got a drink then they sat down and relax for the rest of the afternoon.
The next morning, Sam pas Jack copies of her report before Mr Thomas showed up, when he did Jack and Sam hug and kiss before Sam left.
Over the next two months Sam was working harder than ever, she passed all of her tests and still got straight 'A' in her reports and SA. Sam even had weapons and firearms tests, which she didn't know about but she passed every single one of them.
With the extra flying time and tests she had done, she passed them no problems at all. When it was close to Jack's birthday, she sent out innovations to all his workmates and old classmates from silver creek since it was his thirty birthday at the end of the month and she hoping that there wasn't any mission at that time.
When sent them all away, all she could do was wait for their reply. She started booking the restaurant and gave them a number for starts and explained to them that she was waiting for replies and where Jack and some of the guests work, the manager under stands. Sam also paid deposited on the booking of the room for the night.
Three weeks before Jack birthday, Sam got a reply from all the ones from silver creek, she got it in one letter with the money for the meals and drinks since she put in a note how much per head. She was happy that the ones she invited were all coming.
When she spoke to the others who is Jack team, they also said 'yes' to it and gave Sam the money. Even her auntie and uncle are going to make it and Mark also. When Sam made the booking, Mark was with her. So when she got all the money together, she passes it to Mark in an envelope with a list of names of the guests whom going to be there.
She did it while Jack was in the men's room at the mall. When she had some time during the week, one of the cadets who was in Sam class took her to the bakery in town during the lunch hour to talk to them about a birthday cake for Jack.
She showed them the design she had chosen for the cake and also told them how many were going to be at the party and where it was being held. When a price was sorted out, Sam paid for half of it straight up. Sam got everythingplanned for the big night for Jack, even if it was on a Wednesday.
When everything was going to plan, she was happy. After Mr Thomas drop Sam off at Jack, he said his good night then left for his own home. Sam walked in to the house and she went and had a shower and got dressed.
She put her hair up and put some makeup on, then she went and got some things sorted out for Jack, then she went down stairs and posted notes to where she knows where Jack would go when he gets home. Sam looked at her watch and looked out the window and smile
"Right on time"
Then she went and hid but she would be able to see him soon as he walked in the door. When he did, he saw the note and read it, then he looked around and frond. So he went up to his bedroom to see clothes laid out for him and another note 'Get change I'm taking you out to dinner, taxi will be here at 1830… times ticking'
Jack smiled at the note and look at his bedside clock. He went and had a shower and gotten dress then he walked down stairs when he heard the taxi pulls up. When he walked into the foliar when he put his jacket on to see Sam there
"Sam"
"Happy birthday jack"
She gave him a kiss before opening up the door and walking out with him behind her. Sam got into the taxi while Jack locks the house up. When he was walking towards the taxi he could see Sam saying something to the driver. When he got in they were on their way.
"Sam where are we going?"
"Out to dinner, I book reservations for dinner a couple of months ago and I've been saving up for tonight"
"Sam what am I going to do with you"
"Enjoy tonight dinner"
"Sure, where are we going?"
"You will find out soon"
"Ok, so how things at uni?"
"Good, I've passed the latest tests"
"That good to know" they talk till the taxi stop at the restaurant.
After Sam paid for it and they got out, they walk in side. Jack could see the place was fully booked out. Sam spoke to the waiter and he gave her a nod then they follow him till they came to a double door and open it and walk in then Sam did, she quickly move out of the way when Jack walk in and froze
