CH 68
By Friday she knew when her classes are, and was pleased that the airmen guards let Sam in on the air force dorm since she show them her air force ID and their CO told them to let her in. Sam was walking back to the dorm when she smiles when she saw Jack truck park next to the door. She walked in and saw him talking to Mr Brown
"Hey when did you get here?" Jack turned and smiles
"Few minutes ago" they both hug and kiss
"How was your first week?"
"Interest"
"Ok" then she turn to Mr Brown
"Thanks for keeping him compare"
"Any time Samantha, enjoy your weekend"
"I will thanks, oh if you hear a jet flying low tomorrow afternoon, it would be me"
"Thanks for the warning, I'll leave you two love birds alone" then he walkstowards his office when he hard 'twerp, twerp' coming from Sam which made him smile.
"Come on Sam I head you got a cool room with great views"
"Yep sure have" they walk down the corridor with their arms around each other while talking. They were close when the freshmen walking out of her room, she turned and saw them walking towards her.
"Hi" Jack said she looked at him then to Sam then back to Jack again, she gave him a smile
"Hello" then they carry on walking. She turned and checks the back of Jack out
"Nice ass" she said knot knowing that they heard her. When they got to Sam room
"Shields off" then she unlock the door and open it and walk into her room. Jack followed her and closes the door
"Wow I see what you mean Sam, but I think you like the one at home"
"I do and as you can see I need double size sheets"
"Yeah luckily I keep the ones I had when I had the double bed"
"True, check the place out while I'll sort out my books"
"Sure" Jack check out the rooms while Sam sorted out her books for what she needed for the weekend. When she finishes getting things sort out Jack walk out of the bathroom
"Bathroom need a clean"
"I know, that is why I need to get some cleaning stuff in there and a jug and couple of cups for hot drinks on a day like today"
"Ok ready?"
"Yep, let go"
They pick up what Sam needed to take with her and they left her room and walk back down to Jack truck. Once they were in, they headed back to Colorado Springs. When they got home, Sam sorted her things out then they left to go into town for dinner and a movie.
The next morning they went shopping. Sam got herself-a kettle, couple of mugs, and three containers for tea, hot chocolate and sugar. She brought some other things for her dorm room then they went to Peterson for Sam hours of flying.
She did her flying hours with Jack in the back letting her do her thing. When she was flying over the university, she fly low knowing that she warn the cadets and Mr Brown on what she was doing. When she saw the cadets running out of the dorm she did done a lop do loops where they could see them.
Then she flew up side down but slow so she could wave at them which they did in return there she did the screw where she went round and round and she was climbing and did some three sixties before flying towards the mountains
"Show off" Jack said Sam giggle
"Why not at least they know who it is"
"True"
"Hey how about bring Mark up next week"
"And have him to be sick in here, not thanks" Jack laugh
"Just a thought"
"I know," she said smiling.
When they did return back to Peterson and landed, Sam was in the air for four hours. When she and Jack got off the jet, they walk back in to the main building where Sam filled out the forms on how long she was flying for. Then she and Jack went to get change before heading back into town since sam only has target practice once every two weeks.
When they return back home, Sam cooks them both dinner while Jack answer the phone. When everything was on cooking, she went to see what Jack was doing. She could hear him on the phone so she went into the office to get one of her textbooks and walk back into the kitchen and sat at the breakfast bar.
Then started to read the chapter that was on the next subject since there was going to be a test on Monday. When Jack walked into the kitchen he saw Sam with her nose in her book, she look up when she heard him walk in
"Hey is everything alright?"
"That was Joanne on the phone, dad had a stroke" Sam was shock
"Oh no, how bad?"
"It was a mild stroke, he is going to be ok but the doctors told him that he had to change his lifestyle"
"Will he change?"
"Don't know Sam"
"You know where I am if you need me"
"I know, thanks" they look at each other for a moment
"What's for dinner?" Sam smile
"Beans, carrots, potatoes and chicken breast"
"Sounds good to me"
"Have you told her about our engagement?"
"No, I want to tell dad"
"Ok"
"So what you're reading?" Sam shows him the cover of her textbook
"Ok, I'll leave you to it, I'm going to go and see what on TV"
"Ok" then he walked out of the kitchen leaving Sam to her reading. Sam watch him walk out then she returns back to her reading
The next day Sam was in the office all day studying while Jack does his normal things. When Sam return back to her dorm room she was worried about Jack since he has been worried about his father since the phone call, she knew he would be alright since it was a mild stroke.
Sam concentrate on her studies the best she can and worried about Jack at the same time. She knew it had been a month since Jack saw his father so she called Mark and told him about what happened to Jack father and what her plan is which he thought it was a good idea. Then she called Jack
"Hello"
"Hi Jack how are you"
"Hi Sam, I'm ok, I spoke to Joanne just before you called"
"Oh how is your dad?"
"Ok they running some tests on him to find out where the bleeder is and find out if it is going to get any worse"
"Ok, Jack I've been thinking"
"Sam" he knew that Sam doesn't call him during the week unless something bad has happened
"Jack I would like for you to go to Los angeles this weekend and spend some time with him"
"Sam what about you, what about your training?"
"Jack don't worry, I'll ask Mark to take me, he will understand"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, so tomorrow call and make the booking and go and see him… please"
"Ok if it will make you happy"
"Jack you gotta do it for yourself, not for me, ok"
"Ok, so long as you do something for me?"
"Depends on what it is?"
"Take Mark with you when you go flying?"
"Ok, happy now?"
"Yes" Sam knew he would be smiling
"Jack I better go my ride just arrive, I'll call on Friday morning before you leave for work"
"Ok, have fun with your training"
"I love you"
"Love you to Sam, bye"
"Bye" then they both hung up.
Sam walked out of the dorm and got into the waiting car and drive off got her karate practice. The next day Sam spoke to Mr Thomas when she did have class about a ride to Jack place on Friday night, which it was fine by him. Sam keeps herself busy for the next couple of days with her studies and training.
On Friday morning, she called Jack and spoke for a few minutes before he had to leave for work. After Sam hung up she went and got some breakfast before returning back to her room to get her books that she needed for the day since she got two classes at the academy, one before and one after lunch.
That afternoon, Mr Thomas showed up at to dorm where Sam was waiting for him. Once she was in the car, they left to head to Colorado Springs. Sam had a quiet night at home; she cooks herself up some dinner and watches some TV for a while. She just turn the TV off when the phone rang and she answered it
"Hello"
"Hi Sam"
"Hi Jack so you made it to LA?"
"Yes I'm at dad's place"
"Ok have you seen him yet?"
"No, not till tomorrow"
"Ok, I wish I was with you"
"I know, I'll be home Sunday night, we can talk then"
"Ok, you sound tired?"
"I am," he said letting out his breath
"Well why don't you go and have an early night, cause that is what I'm planning on doing my self"
"Sounds good to me"
"Talk to you when you come home"
"Ok Sam, good night"
"Night Jack" then they both hung up. Sam went to bed after hanging up thinking about Jack and wishing she were there for him.
The next morning, Mark and Ann showed up, Sam was waiting for them, when she was his car she picked up her bag and walk outside and closing and locking the door. Then she walked over to the car and got in, then they were on their way to the mall.
They talk till they got there about the engagement party that they are planning on having at the academy hotel in April. When they got out they went to check out some shops and boughtsomething.
One was a bookstore; Sam wanted to check out the bridal magazines, while she was seeing what they got in. Ann was also looking at them and they both brought what bridal magazines there was since there were six different ones they both brought three different ones each, so they both could look through them together that night. After they brought them and walk out of the shop, they found Mark talking to a guy so they walk over to them.
"Hey got what you wanted?"
"Yep"
"That good, Sam this is Pete Shanahan, Pete this is my little sister Sam"
"Hi" they shook hands
"Where did you two meet?" Sam asked
"Last year when I went to pick you up from uni and I was late"
"Ah you said you stop to help some guy who car died and tow him to the nearest gas station"
"That right, Pete is in the police academy in Denver"
"Ok so you going to be a cop?"
"Yes that right"
"Ok"
"Mark we better get some lunch, remember Sam got her flying training in an hour"
"Ok Pete care to join us?"
"Sure" they walk down to the café and got themselves some lunch.
They sat down at a table talking while eating when couples of the guys from Jack team walk over to them
"Hey Sam fancy seeing you here?" Sam turned and smiles
"Hi guys, what are you doing here?"
"Meeting our wives here for lunch, where Jack?"
"He didn't tell you?"
"No he didn't say, I know he has been quiet in the last few days, is everything alright between you two?"
"Yes, he in LA, his father had a stroke last week" they were both shock
"Oh no how serious was it?"
"Mild, they were running some tests yesterday, so I don't know how long before Jack will know, but he will be back tomorrow night"
"Ok, I hope everything turns out ok for him"
"Same here, and here comes your wives and bags of shopping" they turn to see their wives walking over to them
"Gee did you buy the whole store or some thing"
"Very funny, Hi Sam"
"Hi enjoy your shopping?"
"Yes and it has beena long time since we last shop with work and all"
"I know the feeling"
"Where Jack?"
"LA" then she looked at her watch
"Mark we better get going"
"Sure"
"Take care Sam"
"Will do" then they left.
"Sorry Pete we got to go"
"Sure, it's good to see you again"
"You to" they all got up and went their separate ways.
