Chapter One: Confirming Plans
[CIA Op center]
As Sydney walked into the Op center, she looked around and spotted Vaughn. As though Vaughn had sensed Sydney's presence, he turned around and caught her eye. She gave him a bashful smile and walked towards his desk and leaned on it in front of him.
Vaughn placed a hand on a her thigh, "Sorry I had to leave, but I got called in. I could of not gone in, but you know Kendall---"
His ramblings were cut off by Sydney has she placed her hand on top of his, "Shhh, its okay." She flashed him a smile that made him just forget his words
He collected his thoughts again, "Why didn't' you sleep in, I thought you would've been tired from last night, " Vaughn grinned knowingly.
"How could I when I knew you were here?" Sydney returned his playful banter.
She wanted to end their banter with a kiss, but as she leaned in, Vaughn looked around and realized that they best not. He gave her a lopsided grin.
"Not here." He led her to a deserted place.
He placed his hands on her hips and leaned in for a kiss. It was a slow, sensual kiss that Sydney returned willingly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.
After they broke apart, they just stayed like that.
"You do know that today is a Friday right?" Sydney asked.
"Yeah, I'm aware of my days." Vaughn cocked his head to the side and narrowed his eyes not fully understanding what Sydney was trying to get to.
"And you do know that since it's a Friday, Saturday comes after which means no work, which means being able to sleep in." Sydney said seductively as she ran a finger down his chest.
"Yeah." Vaughn pulled Sydney in closer and grinned as he sensed where she was playing at.
"So what do you have planned for me tonight." Sydney blurted out like an eager little child.
Vaughn chuckled at her declaration.
"Well." he started while tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "I thought I'd start the evening off by cooking---"
Yet again, the great Sydney and Vaughn moment was ruined by, yes-
"Weiss," Sydney and Vaughn both exclaimed when he poked his head through the door and made his presence known.
We all love him but seriously, his timing just sucks.
"I am seriously considering making a banner and declaring this as the official 'Flirting Corner'" Vaughn and Sydney broke apart reluctantly.
"Oh boy," Vaughn muttered under his breath to Sydney.
"You know, you guys should be thanking me, Kendall just came around looking for you, Agent Vaughn," Weiss stressed at the 'Agent', "then when you were nowhere to be found, he noticed that Agent Bristow was missing too," again, stressing the 'Agent', "then he just stalked off muttering something about priorities."
Vaughn put his hand on Sydney's back and guided her to the exit.
"Don't' get me wrong, but I love that you guys are together and I don't' have to hear Vaughn sulk around anymore---"
Vaughn interrupted, "Seriously, Weiss, stop."
But he continued on, "but when I have to go around covering and looking for you guys, it makes me stop and wonder whether or not its worth it, for me, i meant, i dont' even get any appreciation at all."
Sydney chuckled and as she brushed past Weiss, she gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "Thank you Eric, we're glad you care, " she laughed and walked back to her desk.
That kiss surprised Weiss and definitely made him shut up. Vaughn just walked by him and glared.
After a few minutes of staring at endless files, Sydney grew restless. She picked up her cell phone and dialled an ever-familiar number.
A few desks away, the cell phone on Vaughn's desk started to ring.
"Agent Vaughn," Vaughn answered the phone absent-mindedly while typing away on his laptop.
"Agent Vaughn," came the voice of the ever-sweet Sydney Bristow.
Vaughn perked up immediately and grinned at the voice. He turned around slightly and caught Sydney's eyes a few desks back and smiled.
"Yes Agent Bristow?" he played along.
"You weren't done telling me what you had planned for tonight."
"Well," Vaughn leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes as though trying to picture it, "as I was saying, my plan was to cook a beautiful woman a fantastic French dinner."
"And would that woman be me?"
"Of course, you in that spaghetti strapped black dress that cuts off mid- thigh, that, by the way, you look stunning in."
"Do continue, " Sydney was obviously enjoying this.
"Ahem," he cleared his throat, "so after an unforgettable dinner, I was thinking that we could---"
"Vaughn," Sydney interrupted, "look up!"
Vaughn looked up and saw Kendall approaching his desk. He sat up immediately and said in a serious voice, "Yes, and we'll go through the rest of the procedure later."
Sydney smiled into the phone, "Smooth, Vaughn, très smooth. See you tonight." She hung up the phone.
"Agent Vaughn," Kendall began as Vaughn put his phone down, "I'm glad to see you settled back in that desk of yours. Because I want you in my office, now."
"Yes sir," Vaughn got up and followed Kendall.
Nothing could ruin his spirits now. He was looking forward to another night with Sydney Bristow. He looked back at Sydney and grinned at her.
The goofy smile was back on Sydney's face. She couldn't' help it. He always did this to her.
