When Good Comes From Bad
Sydney rubbed her forehead gently, her head began to pound when she awoke that morning and everything she'd done had done nothing. She sighed as she put her pen back to the paper she was working on. She knew she had to do her job and finish what had to be done, but her mind kept wandering back to the day before, she could remember Tommy's body guard injecting her with something, but then her mind seem to shut down and everything from there to the moment she woke up was a complete blank.
Gage came up to the side of her desk, a smile on his face, "so how are you feeling today?" He asked cheerfully.
Syd winced, "my head is killing me, and I can't concentrate on anything." She said quietly.
Gage moved behind her and began to rub her shoulders and neck. All she could do was lean back against him in pure contentment. "Do's that make you feel any better?" He asked.
Sydney smiled, "oh, some." She whispered, when he stopped her eyes shot open, "okay, okay," she relented, "it make me feel a lot better."
He smiled and began his work again. "That's a thought." He whispered.
Alex sat on the edge of Walker's desk, just watching Sydney and Gage. "Walker." She said quietly, gaining his attention, "have you noticed how Gage has been acting around Sydney sense yesterday?" She asked.
Walker raised his eyebrows as he looked toward them, he watched as Gage gently eased her pain and how she seemed to melt in to his touch, he smiled as he looked up to his wife, "they kinda look like me and you when we first started going out." He admitted.
Alex smiled, "I'm so happy for them." She whispered.
That evening Sydney sat in her living room, huddling at the end of her couch, her headache had gone and she was just trying to remember what had happened. But her mind just didn't want to cooperate. A nock at her door made her sit up straight, at first she wasn't going to answer it, then when the second, firmer knocker came it was accompanied by a voice, "Sydney, I know your in there, it's Gage."
Slowly she stood and made her way to the door, with a flip of her wrist she unlocked it and opened it, finding a smiling Gage on the other side. "Is there something the mater?" She simply asked.
Gage simply shook his head as he pressed her backwards, back in to her living room, slowly he closed the door behind himself. "Sydney, I had to see you, I have to tell you something." He babbled a bit. Sydney backed away from him until she came up against her couch. "What is it?" She asked as she fell in to her couch.
Gage dropped to his knees in front of her, "now don't you ignore what I'm about to tell you," he paused as he licked his lips and shrugged a bit, "hell, I guess its more like confessing." He admitted.
Sydney gave him a funny look, "Gage, what exactly are you talking about?" She asked.
He smiled lightly, "I love you Sydney, I love everything about you, your smile, your eyes, your hair, your body, your mind, your attitude, and mostly your lips." He said, "I know you feel the same about me, and I want to know why we keep lying to ourselves? Why have we not acted on our feelings sooner then, well now."
Sydney took a deep breath, "how do you know how I feel?" She asked simply.
Gage backed a way a bit as he placed his left hand in his pocket, "I'll tell you only if you promise me you won't deck me or something." He tried to deal.
Sys scooted up on the couch, "promise not to deck you?" She asked, "Gage, what did you do?"
Slowly he pulled a small tape recorder from his pocket, then he carefully turned it on, Syd heard his voice first, then she heard her own.
G: Is you name Sydney Cook?
S: Yes it is cute.
G: Do you know who I am?
S: Francis Gage.
G: Can you tell me what you think about me?
S: I think your cute and I think you should come over to my place later.
G: No, Sydney seriously, do you think you could ever enter into a relationship
With me?
S: Relationships is such a big word.
G: Do you think you could ever be with me, like in love?
S: I already love you cutie, your always there to cover me and I always count on you, you're the man I have been looking for my entire life.
Sydney reached out and clicked the tape off. "You recorded me, while I was drugged out of my mind?" She asked in shock.
Gage swallowed hard, "you weren't drugged out of your mind, you were on a dose of truth serum." He corrected her.
She stood know angrily, "you have no right to record me, no matter what." She yelled.
Gage stood, readying himself for her attack, "I only taped you so you couldn't deny the truth, Syd, no one knows I did this," with that he took the tape from the player, "here, you can destroy it if you want, it's not like I want to blackmail you, I just wanted you to know that I do know and I love you to." He finished.
Sydney stood there for a moment, the tape held loosely in her right hand, "no one, absolutely no one knows about this?" She asked slowly.
Gage nodded, "no one knows about it at all." He assured her.
She was quiet for a little while, just standing there in front of him, looking him up and down slowly. Then she began to move forward, gently putting her hands against his chest, "do you really love me?" She whispered.
Gage looked down at her, how she gazed up at him, her eyes so soft, he took a deep breath, "yes, I love you with all my heart." He finally answered.
A small smile played a crossed her lips, slowly she tilted her head and stood on her tip toes, then she gently placed her lips against his in slow, exploring kiss. When she finally parted she purred with satisfaction, "I love you to." With that she raised up and kissed him again.
Gage couldn't believe his luck, he had never thought he could have anything with Sydney, but know she was pressed against him, kissing him passionately.
Slowly his hands began to explore her body, first her back, then her lips and but. Then he gently pushed the back of her shirt up, his fingers exciting in a burst of heat at the touch of her skin. Then he moved his lips slowly don her jaw line, to her neck.
Sydney tilted her head, enjoying the feel of his lips on her skin. When he reached her shirt collar she ran her hands slowly down his sides, grabbing the bottom of his shirt, then she swiftly pulled it over his head.
He stepped back and smiled when she tossed his shirt off to the side, with a he stepped forward and began to attack the bottoms of her skirt with his teeth. She began to giggle a bit but was amazed at the lack of time it took him to remove her shirt, and begin to ravage her breasts, still clad in her bra.
He kissed, licked and nipped at the top of her breast massively, then carefully he removed the bra, exposing her to him, he could only smile before he began to tease her nipples with his mouth. Finally she raised him and took his hand, leading him to some stairs, beginning up them she didn't expect him to reach around the waist, undoing her pants. She turned and grinned, sitting down she allowed him to finish removing her pants before she scrambled up the stairs.
He took off after her, hot on her trail. Finally he caught her by her waist just after she got to her bedroom, he spun her around to face him and began to kiss her again before he lifted her, tossing her onto the bed, then she leaned on her elbows watching him remove his pants and boxers.
Finally he climbed on to the bed, at her side, he began hiss kiss at her lips first, then began to move down her body slowly. Once he reached her underwear he glanced up to her, a mischievous smile on his face before he grabbed a hold of the underwear with his teeth, pulling them off.
The next morning when Sydney awoke she stretched a bit, enjoying the warmth of her bed, then slowly she rolled to her side to see Gage laying next to her, still sleeping gently she reached her head on his chest and sighed in contentment. After a while she must have dozed of, because the next thing she knew, she was being awakened by his lips on her forehead. He smiled when she looked up to him, her eyes sleep filled, "good morning sleepy head." He cooed.
She returned his smile and lightly rubbed his chest, "every morning will be good," She began before she pulled herself into the sitting position, "if I could wake up with you every morning."
Gage sat up as well grinning from ear to ear, "all you have to do is say the word and it will be." He said softly before he reached over the side of the bed and pulled something out of his pants pocket.
Sydney looked at him confused, "what exactly do I have to say?" She asked softly.
"Yes." He said simply as he revealed a small ring box. Slowly he opened it, showing her the elegant platen engagement ring with five small diamonds in set.
Syd gasped, "Gage." She said tensely, "areā¦.. are you asking me to marry you?" She asked.
Carefully he pulled the ring from the box, "Yeah, Syd," he took a deep breath before he took her left hand in his, he then looked into her eyes, "Sydney Cook, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He asked shakily.
A single tear rolled down her cheek as she slowly began to nod, "yes." She responded softly, "yes Gage, I'll marry you."
Gage released a sigh of relief, then he slid the ring onto her finger before he pulled her into his arms then he began to kiss her seductively.
