Chapter 5 – At last

Sam looked at herself in the mirror, and discarded yet another outfit in the pile of disliked clothing. Isn't there ONE outfit that would make Jack drool? Sam thought desperately, then dove back into her closet to find a nice outfit for her date with Jack.

5 minutes later Sam found her dresses and threw the one she had worn with Pete out of the room with a vehemence that shocked her. Then she came across the perfect one. It was her low cut black one that she had worn to Mark's wedding 5 years ago, and it would go wonderfully with her black heeled sandals and her necklace that Daniel had gotten her for her birthday last year. Who would have thought that a contest would let Jack and me go on a date. I can't believe that we are finally 'together' at last!

I fight evil aliens with superiority complexes everyday and now I can't get enough courage to go and ring the doorbell to my 2IC's house. Jack was amazed at these turn of events.

Jack had taken 30 minutes to shower, shave, and get into his black dress shirt and dress pants. Shoes were a little harder, seeing as all he had was combat boots he had had to spend another 10 minutes hunting down his shoes that he only wore with his dress blues.

Now he was standing at Sam's door and waiting for her to answer it. When she did he was amazed at how beautiful she looked.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Sam was finishing her makeup she had heard the doorbell go off. Its now or never. And with the air of someone who was going off to war she opened the door to reveal a VERY handsome Jack O'Neill.

"Hey, I just need to grab my purse and then we can go." Sam said, indicating that Jack should come in.

Jack just couldn't stop staring, "You look nice. Really nice."

Sam could feel herself blush, "Thanks, so do you." As she held up her purse to show she was ready she said, "Ok, now I'm ready."

A/N: If anyone had any problems with how I had Sam react to the stuff that had happened to her in CH.4 I'm sorry, but I have something to say to those people:

A) Sam could beat a man who had a distinct height and weight advantage and had had 30 years in Special Ops if that guy was 10 YEARS OLDER! My gosh people! I'm not trying to make Sam into some damsel in distress but if I try to make her strong than you guys get on me about that too.

B) The thing with Pete hitting Sam and her not reacting is like how some people make her and Jonas Hanson during their relationship

If you didn't have any problem with any of that I am not saying anything to you guys. I thank each and every one of you who have reviewed and given your opinions. AND I am not ending this story until I have at least 7 or 8 chapters.

Thanks a bunch,

Amelia
