So...I finally got up the nerve to ask her to lunch. After making a mess
of her office...she probably thinks its just an apologetic thing now, but
still. I'm here, I'm with her. It's a start.
We're sitting across from each other in the middle of the busy
commissary, and neither of us has said a word since entering and
ordering our food. So much for the start...we talked a lot more by her
office and on the way here.
She's certainly intrigued me, though, I can't deny that. That's what
led me to ask her to lunch in the first place.
Well, nothing to it, just have to jump in and start a conversation...
"Great conversation we're having here..." I point out, unnecessarily as
she speaks up, too.
"I still don't know your name."
We both grin sheepishly for a few moments.
"It's Daniel. Dr. Daniel Jackson," I say with a laugh.
"-The- Daniel Jackson?" she asks incredulously. "The one who got the
Stargate to work in the first place?"
"Yup, that's me! You're sitting here with a real, live, famous
celebrity!" I add sarcastically.
She just snorts and gives my arm a light whack as our food gets brought
over.
We're silent for a few minutes as we dig into our food, pausing every
now and then to gulp down a mouthful or two of coffee.
I wonder if she thinks I'm a pig for eating like this, so I make an
attempt to apologise, paying no attention to the fact that she's
attacking her food with about as much fervour as me.
"Sorry...I haven't eaten in a while apart from coffee...got caught up in
some research..."
"You need to remember to eat regularly," she reprimands automatically,
taking another bite of her food.
"So do you from the looks of things," I point out, taking another bite
myself.
"Oh," she replies, glancing down at her plate as a blush spreads across
her face. "Guess you're right..."
"If you make an effort to, I will," I bargain, suddenly wondering what
I'm doing, flirting with this almost perfect stranger.
"Deal!" She grins. "I intend to hold you to that!"
"I'm sure you will!"
All too soon, it seems, we've both finished our 'meat surprise', and I
realise with a start that over an hour has passed.
"I guess I'd better be getting back," I say, strangely reluctant to
leave.
"Yeah...hey!" she exclaims suddenly. "You never asked my name!"
"Well, I had to find you -somehow-, Janet. All I had to do was describe
you to get your name and where you worked." I grin, automatically
calling her by her given name though she hasn't given me that liberty.
"Oh..."
"Walk you to your office?" I inquire politely.
A giggle escapes her lips. "Thank you, kind sir. Just don't think
you're going to be helping clean up the mess when we get there!"
Well, this is certainly going to be an interesting 'relationship', I
think as we both rise and head for the door.
