"in the slipstream" (Prompt: telephone calls; Sam/Jack; post-Unending; PG)poohmusingsMarch 13 2009, 23:17:34 UTC
"So. Fifty years, huh?"
Sam paused in the middle of sorting through her mail and smirked. She'd only been half listening to Jack -- yes, that was very Bad Girlfriend of her, but she was okay with that -- yet she immediately knew his not-as-clever-as-he-liked-to-believe-it-was leading question would require her full attention.
Wedging her cell phone between her ear and shoulder, Sam swung her feet up onto her couch so she could untie her shoes. She had a feeling she'd want to be comfortable for the ensuing conversation.
"Fifty years," she repeated, mindful to keep her voice even.
"That's a lot of years."
"Sure is." She could tell he was trying to get her to veer their conversation down a certain path, but there was no way she was going to comply. At least not without some fun first

Hahahaha! Oh, I heart this so much. So funny, voices dead on, and awesome phrasing in many places. I particularly like "Sam lurched upright on the couch." Heee. And Jack yelping, but then getting her good in the end. You've really got to be on your toes to be involved with Jack O'Neill.

Oh this was just hysterical. From how Sam knows what he wants and is playing with him to her very true observation of him being immature (so hot!) and he got her back in the end because she was so preoccupied with having her own fun.

Gah! So cute.
I love this: The way in which he rushed through the last two words made her throw her head back and feel loved. By a slightly immature man, sure, but she felt loved all the same.

I adore it.
And I could totally picture Sam needing to get comfortable and prepared for this convo.

When Jack starts a sentence with "So ..." the odds are high it'll be an entertaining conversation. At least in my mind! ;)

I love how Sam can *almost* out-maneuver him, but just not quite, in the end.
You can't deny the truth, right? ;)
