Chapter 1-Forbidden love in the making
---Sydney's POV---
I closed and locked the door to my house. Weiss had retired to his house a few hours earlier. I walked through the living room, I walked through the living room in darkness as I hard grown accustomed to the location of every item in this house. I had taken Weiss out bowling. He had apparently never been bowling. After we finished bowling I dropped him off at his house and preceded to drive around for hours, not quite sure where I wanted to go. After hours of wasting gas I retreated back home to where I currently found myself. I walked slowly to my bedroom and pressed the play button on my answering machine button.
"Hello? Sydney? I know you're not home right now. This is your friend, Johanna, remember the other day when you told me to call you once I had made a decision. That friend of yours, Eric, sounds interesting. So, my answer is yes, I'd love to go out with him. I gotta go, later." the machine played. "end of first message."
I could hear the machine beep as told me that that was the end of all my messages.
One message, and that was concerning my best friend, that's pathetic. I mentally chastised myself.
I was changing, getting ready to take a shower before going to bed, when suddenly I stopped as the machine played the familiar response when someone was leaving a message. I waited patiently for them to leave their message.
"Hello Miss Bristow. It's a shame you wont pick up the phone seeing as how you're currently occupying your house. It's a great location, being so close to the beach. Which reminds me, go outside. You might like what you see." With that Sark hung up whatever phone he was on as the message ended.
My spy training told me that he was trying to set me up. It chilled me to think he knew my whereabouts. Although, it was understandable. In this line or work people could read the time displayed on your watch from abroad. They knew what you were thinking, where you had been, where you lived, and your likes and dislikes. I decided that after I took a bath and was in a pajamas that I would go investigate what was outside.
---30 minutes later---
I dried my hair with a towel after I had changed into blue silky pajamas. It had long pants that came with it, with absolutely no design on either the top or the bottom. I slipped on blue slippers and proceeded to exit the house. I unlocked and opened the house, staring at the night sky. Since it was LA, I couldn't see the stars, but I enjoyed doing this anyways. I looked left and right, standing in the doorway. With the next step I took I jumped back in slight pain. I glanced down, but failed to see anything. I took a few steps back and turned on the porch light. I walked back outside and stared at the object that had slightly pricked me.
You've got to be kidding me. Vaughn? I suspected, staring down at the most beautiful red rose I had ever seen. I picked it up, gently, not wanting to destroy it. A note was attached to it in red ink. The words "Tell me princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?" were written on it.
"A whole new world." I spoke aloud, confused as to who would have sent this. A whole new world, Jasmine, Aladdin, could this be referring to a mission I had come from days earlier. We had went to Disney World in a mission after dark where some guy had hidden information on a disk on a stand. Other information lay hidden all over the amusement park. It had been a great hiding place, it would be one of the last places someone would have thought to have looked. I had went on the mission with Weiss, although we recovered some of the information, Sark had been there or course, and he made off with the rest of it. So it had to be from either Weiss or Sark. But why would either of them send me this note? And what is it referring to? In the song Aladdin was referring to where she desired to go and with who. But, it couldn't have been Weiss, I had told Weiss about Johanna and he seemed excited to meet her. Sark? With Sark it could mean anything. That confusing bastard always had things up his sleeve. Why did I just waste my time thinking that over? Sark had left me the call to come fetch the rose. Knowing Sark though, it's probably laced with something to knock me unconscious.
However, despite what I tried to force myself to believe, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Sark thinking about me. Knowing what I really wanted deep down inside. I closed and locked my door, still smiling.
---Sark's POV---
I smiled as I watched Sydney disappear inside the house. I knew curiosity would get the better of her. And seeing as how she should have figured out who gave it to her and she hasn't thrown in on the ground, stomping on it before laughing I think that's a good sign. I turned on my car and drove away.
