End of the World or something...

Jon and Cassie entered the house laughing; it was the first weekend of summer break and they were planing to make the most of it.

Closing the door behind them, Jon wrapped his arms around Cassie pushing her up against the door and kissing her hard. She responded to him immediately and took things further than he'd planned to go and for the moment he let her, he was still in control.

It was nice to be able to do this whenever they wanted. Maybe this time in two years would be time for wedding bells to toll for them, he wasn't sure how much longer he wanted to wait. Cassie had grown up so much over the past two years, but he wasn't sure he was ready to take the next step. They'd had a few close calls, and so far he'd been able to keep himself in check.

Stepping away from her, he took her hand. "So what do you say we toss some meat on the BBQ and then take in a movie."

Still leaning against the door Cassie frowned. "I guess, but no beer marinade. I hate the taste."

With a sly smile on his face Jon bent down, catching her lips. "Or we could continue what we started. For a while..." He waggled his eyebrows at her and she stepped away slapping him lightly on the chest, but then she grabbed the front of his shirt pulling him closer once more.

"I'd like that a lot."

"So is this how you treat a guest?"

At the sound of the voice Jon froze with his lips inches from Cassie's throat. "What are you doing here, Jack?"

"Well this is my house."

Turning to face Jack, Jon left his arm around Cassie's shoulder. Jack stood in the door to the living room his tie was askew with his sleeves were rolled to the elbows and there was a thick file in his hand.

"You gave it to me, unless you've forgotten? I mean you are getting old." It was then he spotted Jack's suitcase on the floor. "Why aren't you staying at Sam's?"

"The baby is making it difficult to work. I have some things to finish up and then I'll head home. I could work at the SGC, but things are crazy there." He stopped running his hands through his hair.

Jon sucked in his breath. Something big was happening and it wasn't good. Stepping away from Cassie, he pinned Jack with a look. "There's something you're not telling us; what is it?"

"No, I'm not. It's nothing you need to be worried about, Jon. You do your job and I'll do mine." Then he headed back down the hallway and left some parting words just before entering the den. "Oh, and I'd love a steak, Jon. That sounds heavenly you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a good cut of beef in DC."

Cassie stared at the closed door for a moment before speaking. "Something's really wrong, Jon. I mean I've been thinking since that plague, that it was the baby he was worried about but now it's worse. Jon, I'm scared."

Jon wrapped his arm around Cassie's shoulders. "Me too, Cass but it's not our place, not yet anyway." Cassie looked like she was about to say something. Jon grabbed her arm hoping to distract her. "Come on let's get some food before Jack gets grumpy."

But she was right; soon he'd make Jack tell him what was going on, because it seem things were getting worse. Jon closed his eyes, he was being pulled in three different directions and who knew just which one would win, duty, love or curiosity.

He caught sight of himself in the mirror hanging on the hallway wall, again, just who was Jon O'Neill? Was he his own person or Jack's shadow? Only time would tell.

End of 3rd term. To be continued in AcademyDaze: 2ndClass...

This is the end of this story for now. I have three chapters of a new story posted on my Google my penname. You can also follow me on facebook (you want my page not my profile I created that and have no idea how to get rid of it, I never use it) to get updates other than here. (When I post a new story I post it there two-three weeks before I post here.) There used to be a link on my profile but it seems to have disappeared. This site won't let you post outside links in the story that's why the address isn't here.

Thank you for reading and I hope you come back again. :0)

Also I have now published my second work of original fiction on kindle. It's a novella called Red Colony: Odyssey. If you search for my real name, Kelli Bullock on amazon you'll find it and my first novella.
