Football Lesson
John convinces Teyla to sit with him to watch football and he even pops her some popcorn. He could see that it wasn't something she really wanted to do. "Is something the matter Teyla?" he asks.
Teyla looks at him to and chooses her words carefully; "I thought you liked watching this with Ronon?"
"Well…. yes I do, but he really doesn't like watching it either. He said for me to tell you that since you got out of playing golf it's your turn to watch football," he says with a smirk. "What is it that you don't like about the game?"
"Well to be honest, I do not understand why they have to chance one person to get a ball," she confesses.
"It's for the fun," he says with excitement, but he can see that she is still confused. He looks around, sees a small pillow and picks it up. "Ok, let me try to explain about it being fun. I'll throw this pillow to you and you have to catch it. I know it's a small room, but once you have the ball…uh.. pillow, you need to run and keep it away from me. My job is to stop you or tackle and to keep you from getting to far down the field and scoring. Are you ready?"
Teyla nods her head yes and catches the pillow and starts to run around the room. As John starts chasing her she can't stop laughing as he attempts several times to stop her. She eventually trips and he tackles her to the floor.
"See what I mean about it being fun?" he says as he tries to catch his breath.
Teyla rolls over and she is still laughing, "Yes, I do understand."
She wasn't even aware of how close he was to her until she started to gaze into his eyes. They grew silent as he returns her look. All laughter disappears and they slowly begin to kiss. Time seems to stay still for Teyla as she savors the moment she was experiencing. John slowly pulls away and sits next to Teyla and she sits up as well.
"I do not believe that they do this in football," she says with a smile.
"No… I guess not, but it was fun," he replies with a satisfying grin.
