Chapter 1: Picture Frame Person
"Hey Syd I got to get to the restaurant." Francie yelled to me from the other room. Her restaurant was having a party night and "everybody who's anybody will be there" she tells me. "Your coming later, right Syd?"
"I don't know I don't think I'm up for it jetlag has caught up to me from my last bank trip." I had just returned from an sd6 mission really, plus I really should be here waiting for a call from 'Joey's pizza' to meet with Vaughn. Imagine, now I was planning my life around him and our meetings.
"Come on you'll have a great time" Francie persisted.
"No really, I would be just a third wheel anyway." Francie has a new boyfriend, I haven't met him yet but she seems to like him a lot. I didn't want to just follow them all night.
"You wouldn't be, but if you feel that way why don't you ask Will to come?"
"No, I just don't really feel like going and Will is probably busy." I really was bored just lying at home but I didn't feel like going to a big party, and not with will. Things have been weird since we were at dinner and ran into Vaughn and Alice. Will had told me once we left:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He likes you, you know."
"Who?" I knew who he was talking about but I chose to play dumb.
"Oh, don't even try to play dumb with me. Vaughn!"
"What makes you say that?" That was a true question. I did want to really know what made him think that.
"Come on he is so head over heals for you. Did you see the way he looked at you?" My heart beat louder, I couldn't believe it. I had noticed Vaughn seemed uncomfortable around me with Alice but I wasn't sure if it was just me. "We are just co-workers."
"Yeah so you say."
I didn't have any response so I just looked down at the sidewalk and smiled. Will saw it too, and just smirked back.
"Will would drop everything for you Syd, and you know that." Francie continued to badger me on about coming to the party. I smiled and shook my head like it didn't change my mind.
"Oh!" Francie said as if she just got enlightened into my life.
"What?" I asked
"There is someone else isn't there? If you have some other guy you want to bring he is always welcome you know."
"What other guy? There is no other guy." I smiled when I said it. Normally I can hide and lie about stuff all the time but suddenly I couldn't and a huge grin spread across my face. "Fine if you don't want to tell me then I'll just leave." Francie said with fake hurt in her voice. As she turned to leave she suddenly whipped around and pointed at something. I followed her point and saw it was towards my picture frame.
"It's 'picture frame person' isn't it?" I decided with my lying capabilities now it was best to drop the subject so I tried to.
"Oh, so you gave him a name?" I questioned her. Then I suddenly saw my mistake when I saw Francie smile. I had called Vaughn 'him'.
"So it was a 'guy' from work who gave the frame to you."
"So what if it was?" I fired back. Francie grabbed the phone and handed it to me.
"Call him and ask him to the party." I chuckled because she didn't know how much I would have really loved to do just that. Vaughn had just an affect on me like no one else ever has before. Whenever I see him it is as if my life is happy and normal for one instance. Just to look into his green eyes I have to smile. By now my daydreaming has gotten to my head and I have a giddy smile on my face, but that disappears when Francie snaps me back into reality.
"Go on, call him!"
*I know it isn't that great of a story but it is my first one. R/R and let me know if you want me to continue it.
