An hour later the water was getting cold, so she got out feeling very relaxed. Once she was dressed she sorted out her washing. While that was going through the machine, she heard her stereo start up and a song started playing. She went out into her lounge to be greeted by four more roses and a note, ‘I miss you like crazy Sam’. She recognized Jack’s handwriting and she listened to the words of the song,
Even though it’s been so long, my love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things that we used to do a kiss in the rain
Til' the sun shined through, I'd try to deny it, but I'm still in love with you
I miss you like crazy; I miss you like crazy, ever since you went away
Every hour of every day, I miss you like crazy; I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do, there's just no getting over you
I can see the love shining in your eyes, and it comes as such a sweet surprise
If seeing's believing its worth the wait, so hold me and tell me its not too late
We're so good together, we're starting forever now, And I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy, ever since you went away, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, I miss you baby, a love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Musical interlude
Just one night and we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight and whatever comes our way we're gonna make it through
If seeing's believing its worth the wait, so hold me and tell me its not too late
We're so good together, we're starting forever now
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do there's just no getting over you
And I miss you (baby), I miss you (baby), all the tender love you gave me
When a feeling gets this strong, you know the real thing come along
And I miss you, I miss you like crazy baby, only you're sweet love
Can save me, I miss you like crazy, a love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again,
Miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy.
Sam was listening to the words when the hairs on the back on her neck rose up and she saw a reflection from her stereo and she knew it was him. She felt his arms going around her waist and he started kissing her neck.
“Mmm, Jack”
“You know this song is right; I’ve been missing you like crazy in the past few weeks.”
“What every hour, every day?” Sam turned around in his arms so she could look at him
“Yep, ever since you walked into the briefing room over eight years ago, you are all I dream about.”
“Really?” she raised her eyebrows
“Yes, and now tomorrow night it’s going to happen; we are going to be husband and wife” they kissed until they heard the door open.
“Sam, are you home?”
They pulled apart and Jack quickly went and sat on the couch while Sam went to greet Pete.
“Hi”
“Hey, how was you week, I missed you.”
“Busy” they walked into the lounge.
“I was putting some coffee on for General O’Neill, would you like some?” Sam went to put the pot on.
“Oh, I didn’t know he was here”
Jack stood up and turned around to see Pete standing there, with a grin on his face.
“Well I am.”
“Hi, are you here to practice for tomorrow night’s play?”
“Yeah, since things are quiet at work. They would call me if they needed me for anything.”
“I see.”
“Here you are, sir”
“Thanks Carter”
Sam gave him one of her smiles that he loved so much before changing her face as she turned around to pass Pete his coffee.
“What time are you picking up Mark?”
“I have to leave in a few minutes and take them to the hotel.”
“Ok, which hotel are they staying at?”
“The Cheyenne Mountain Hotel, at least it is close to the base, with the kids and all.”
“Ok, I’ll put my bags away” and he went to put his bags in Sam’s room.
Sam quickly went into the kitchen and grabbed all the notes that Jack had left behind with
the roses and she passed the notes to Jack and gave him a quick kiss.
“I better get going; I’ll be at home, drop by after you drop Mark and the family off.”
“Ok” Sam and Jack went to the door as Pete walked out of Sam’s room.
“Going so soon?”
“Yeah, I still have lots of things to do, see you tomorrow Carter, Pete.”
“See you tomorrow sir.”
Then he walked out the door and down the steps to his truck. As he opened the door, he looked up to see Sam’s sad face as she closed the door while still looking at him. Jack got into his truck and headed on home.
