CH 124
Jack watches Sam and the road the whole time. He could see she was a natural. When they get to the shops he watches to see if she makes any mistakes. When she didn't, he was pleased. When she turned the motor off she turn and look at him
"Well how did I do?"
"You're a natural Sam"
"Thanks"
"Would you like to drive home?" Sam smile widen
"I would love to"
"Ok first, ice cream, I'll be right back"
"Ok" Jack got out and walked into the shop.
While he was in there, a cop pulled up and got out, he turned to see Sam in the truck and walked over to her.
"Afternoon, ma'am can I see your drivers licence"
"Sorry officer, I'm a leaner as there are plates here" she pointed to one where he could see it
"And one on the back window" he walk to the back and he saw it then return
"You know your not aloud to drive alone"
"I know, my fiance is in the shop, he will be out in a moment"
"Ok has he got any Id on him?"
"Yes which one air force or drivers licence"
"Drivers licence"
"Yes, he has"
"What I'D have you got on you ma'am" Sam got her wallet and showed the officer her air force ID. When he saw the name then looked at Sam
"Well I be" he pass it back to her
"It an honour to meet a hero miss Carter"
"Thanks, now you know who I am" then Jack walk out and over to the truck
"Here you go Sam, eat it before it melts"
"Thanks Jack" he passed Sam her ice cream then turn to the officer
"Is everything alright officer?"
"Yes, can I see your drivers licence sir"
"Sure" Jack pulled out his wallet and show the officer his driver's licence then pass it back to him
"Thanks, is everything ok?"
"Yes, just want to make sure, there a lot of young kids on the roads these days without a licence"
"Ah, well you don't have to worry about Sam here, she will know if she broke the rules"
"Alright have a good afternoon"
"You to officer"
Then the cop turns and walks inside the shop while Jack walks around and gets back into the truck while licking his ice cream. When they both finish their ice cream, they both were happy and feeling a bit better
"Shall we" Sam, said as she put her seat belt on
"Ok, you know the way home"
"Yep" Sam started the truck up and Jack watches her every move.
When they got home that evening, Sam parked the truck outside the garage since they were planning on going out to dinner and a movie. When Sam looked over at Jack
"How did I do?"
" You did great, I might let you drive home few more times then we can practice other drive technics"
"Sounds good to me, let's get in side where it cooler"
"And get a cold drink"
"That to" she said smiling
Before getting out of the truck and walking around to the back where she got her things out and followed Jack inside where it was cool since the fans were going. Sam walked up into her room where she sorted out her bags while Jack got them a cold drink and walked up to her room.
When he got to the top of the stairs, he saw Sam put a load of washing down the shoot then she turned to see Jack walking towards her with drinks in hand. He pass Sam her glass
"Thanks" then she took a mouth full of the cool drink and swallow it then she lick her lips
"When do you want to head into town"
"After we have our drinks"
"Ok, well let's go down stairs and finish our drinks then"
They walk down stairs together and into the kitchen where they talk and finish their drinks. Ten minutes later they left to head into town. They went to a restaurant where Jack booked a table out on the veranda looking over the trees. There was a cool breeze when they walked outside and sat down.
The waiter passes them their menus and they order themselves a drink then the waiter leaves. They talk while looking over the menus till the waiter returns with their drinks and they made their order on what they wanted then the guy left.
They spent the next hour and half-talking while enjoying their evening meal and drinks while watching the sun set over the mountain. Jack paid for their dinner and drinks before they left to go to the movies.
When they got to the picture theatre it was packed so they held onto each other's hands when they walked through the crowd to get their tickets. Once they got them, they got in line to get a drink.
"Sam wants anything with your drink?"
"No thanks, just a drink will do me" he nodded.
When they got up to the counter, Jack got them both a soda each. Once paid for they move out of the way over to an area and wait. They were pleased they used the rest rooms at the restaurant before leaving for the movies.
When it was time a guy opened the door and checked people tickets before letting them in. When Jack saw the guy walking over to the door, he and Sam made their move as well. When they got there, they were third to go in.
They managed to get the back row seats since it was the best spot when it came to watching any movies. Once they sat down Jack put his arm around her shoulder then the movie started a few minutes later.
When it was over they waited till everyone else left before they left themselves. When they got home, they both kissed in Sam's doorway before they went to their own rooms for the night.
The next day they went to the carnival which was in town. They both enjoyed themselves, playing games, going onto different rides, eating, and drinking. Just having a fun relaxing day. By the time they got home it was late so they went to bed and fell asleep soon as their heads hit the pillow.
On Sunday, Sam spent the whole day studying since she got a test on Monday morning. Sam took a break late that afternoon and went for a swim with Jack, and they had barbecue hotdogs for dinner that night. After dinner Sam went and had a shower and returned back to her studies for the next few hours before she went to bed at the same time as Jack.
On Monday morning Sam did her test and all she could do is wait for the results to come back. On Tuesday afternoon, Jack was waiting for her to take her home since Wednesday was independent day and there was no school for it.
When Sam saw him, she smiled which he did in return. Jack let Sam drive home like he did last Friday. They had a quiet dinner at home and relaxed in front of the TV for the rest of the evening.
The next day they went down to see the parade and went to the park where the fireworks display was being held. They took a picnic with them since there were bands playing and people there selling food and drinks. Jack and Sam found a good spot under a tree. They sat on a blanket with Jack leaning against the tree and Sam between his legs and the basket next to them.
"You know Sam this is the vert same spot we are at four years ago" Sam turn and look at him
"This tree?"
"The very same" Sam smile and lean over and gave him a kiss
"Look how much we have change since that day"
"I know and who knows who me might see tonight"
"True" they listen to the different music that was playing.
They saw some of the guys with their families, they all said there 'hi' to one another and talked for a few minutes before moving to a spot. They were there for four hours. They both have been to the bathroom once in that time, but at different times. It was getting dark and knew the fireworks display was going to start in an hour. Sam turn to Jack who was looking at her
"Jack can I have some money to get a drink and an ice cream"
"Sure"
He move to get his wallet out and pull out some money and pass it to her but he didn't let go, so she gave him a kiss and he let it go
"Thanks"
"Can you get me the same"
"Sure"
She gave him a kiss before getting up and walking over to where they were selling snow freeze and soft drinks. When she returned a few minutes later she passed Jack his waffle cone and can of coke, then she passed him the change which he put back into his wallet then Sam sat down again back in her spot with her drink and ice cream.
"Mmm this is good, thanks Sam" he gave her a kiss and smile
"Any time Jack" they munch on their ice creams while looking around.
"You know Sam, by this time next year we will be on our honeymoon"
"I know," she said smiling
They look around till they notice the band finished playing then the lights were turned down then the start of the fireworks display began. They watch it and comment on each of the displays. It went on for an hour and a half. When it was over and the stage lights turned back on, people started to leave since it was getting late.
Jack and Sam waited till the time was right, then they packed up their things then started walking out to the truck. When they got there, they put their things away in the back before getting in and headed on home. When they got home they put everything away and turned in for the night since it was getting late for them both.
Then next morning Mr Thomas showed up and took Sam back to uni for the next two days. On Friday afternoon when Sam was at the academy, she just finish class when her phone rings
"Carter"
"Sam I've been called away"
"How long Jack?"
"Don't know sweetheart at this stage there is one possible, three or four" Sam knew that meant he might have four missions to do while overseas over the next few days.
"I understand, be careful"
"I will, the house is stock up for the week so you won't have to worry about food and drinks"
"Thanks Jack, I love you"
"I love you to, bye"
"Bye" then they hung up.
When Sam returned back to the university, she called Mr Thomas and spoke to him for a minute while she was walking to her room to get her books sorted out before leaving again to go to the café for some lunch. That afternoon, Mr Thomas showed up and took Sam back to Jack's place for the weekend.
She called Mark and Ann; she left a message on their answering machine. Sam spent the whole weekend studying, and relaxing at home. On Monday morning she returned back to school for the week. Jack was away for a month since he was on one mission after another or on stand by while overseas.
When he did return he was looking forward to seeing Sam again. Since it was a Tuesday afternoon when he got home, he sorted his bag out then went into town to do some shopping, pay some bills, had a haircut and got some groceries. When he returns home, he unpack everything before relaxing in front of the TV with a beer bottle in hand.
On Friday afternoon, Jack waited outside the dorm for Sam. When he saw her walking toward the dorm, while talking to four other students till one of them asked
"Hey do any of you know who the cutie there" they all stop ant look at the guy, when Sam smile which Jack did in return
"He smiling at me, dam he looks so hot"
"He looking at me" sam said
"No he looking at me" another one said
"Nope I know he's looking at me cause that hot cutie is Jack, my fiance, see you girls on Monday" then she walked over to Jack.
The four girls were shocked with what Sam said, then they saw her walk over to him and watch them hug and kiss, then they walk inside the dorm with their arms around each other.
"Dam Sam lucky"
"Yeah" when Sam walk up to Jack
"I'm back… I miss you Sam"
"I miss you to Jack" they both hug and kiss
"Let's go inside" Sam said then they walked inside and up to her room where they both hugged once again.
"How did your missions go?"
"Good, we did have couple of close calls but we made it"
"That good to know, so what do you want to do this weekend?"
"Spend it with you" Sam smile
"Sounds good to me, let's get out of here"
"Why not" he gives her a kiss before Sam picks up her bags and they leave to drive home. Jack let Sam drive since she needed the practice.
