Author Notes: SORRY FOR THIS DELAY! I AM SO SORRY! I'll shut up and let you read! *small voice* I'm really sorry though! Chronicle of Silence
Chapter Two
Sydney has just walked into the Univertsity's Paper office, when Lindsay has just got of the phone with Sydney's professor.
"Was it the old man again?" Sydney asked.
Lindsay nodded. "He wanted to know how you were doing. So did you get that excellent story you were telling me about?"
"Of course, I wouldn't be here if I didn't! Here it is," she said as she handed Lindsay the file.
Lindsay scanned it quickly and looked up at her. "Are you serious?" she asked.
"Yes, what's wrong with it?"
"It's not what I expected thats all. Its actually better than what I expected. You have any pictures of this dynamic duo?"
"Yep, right here," she handed her the pictures. Lindsay looked at the two pictures and frowned. 'Hmm, this man looks familiar...' she thought.
"Well, there the computer, start at it young lady!" she joked, but got no reply. "You okay? You would usually start yelling at me about how you are the older one!"
Syndey looked up at Lindsay. "I'm fine, its just that I spent all last week working on this article, and I'm getting a little tired. That's all," she said rubbing her forehead.
"You'll be out of here in no time, I promise!" Lindsay gave a slight smile and walked into her office.
Sydney sat at the computer, then began to rub her temples. She was worried about herself. Its like she never felt this way before. She would usually give a guy at least a month to fall in love with him, but in a week she loved this speechless man. She took out the pictures and looked at his. 'What have you done to me?' she smiled. Sydney shaked of the feeling and began working, even though his memory still fresh in her mind.
Once she was finished, she quietly walked into Lindsay's office, placed the file on her desk and left. Lindsay sat in shock and amazment at what she has just saw, but she didn't bother to ask again what was wrong. Sydney stepped into her car and drove to her sisters house. She was to baby-sit yet again.
Once there, Natalie shoved her face into Sydney's stomach, with Sydney showing a sign of pain. "Hey, kiddo, what do you want to do tonight?" she asked.
Kelly stepped out with her husband, dressed in a gown and he in a tux. Sydney let out a little chuckle. "What you laughing at?" Kelly asked.
"Oh nothing, its just every once in a blue moon do you look beautiful, meaning you have a shower and dress up, all the other times, I'd rather not say!" She joked. Kelly gave a fake smile and stepped into the car. "Have fun, loser!" She yelled out as the car left. She noticed Kelly put up a gesture that she didn't want Natalie to see. "So what will it be?" She asked.
Natalie pulled her hand into the house and sat her down on the couch. She rested her head on Sydney's lap and soon after fell asleep. Sydney carried her up to her room and then found herself with nothing to do till Kelly comes back. She sat at the couch and flipped channels to see what was on to watch.Triton was still on her mind. She grabbed her purse and pulled out the number of the circus Cathrine gave her just in case she had anymore questions. The numbers popped out the page. She was confused on whether to dial it or not, but she knew she would regret it if she didn't.
After questioning herself for about half an hour, she finally had the courage to dial the number. A woman picked up, "Hello?"
"Hi, may I speak with Triton Bloom?" Sydney asked.
"Sydney, is that you?" the voice asked.
"Yes, its me, Cathrine, is he there?" she asked.
"Yes, hold on," she left to call Triton. She could hear shuffling in the back ground. She could also hear his voice, but there was a sense of refusal in his voice.
"Hello?" he finally picked up.
"Hi, how are you doing?" she asked.
"Okay," he shyly answered.
"Heh, well, you're probably wondering why I'm calling you. I...um...just wanted to ask if you...um...would like to...um...go out for coffee sometime. So would you?" she asked, as she clenched on the phone cord and shut her eyes.
"Okay," he replied plainly.
She sighed in relief. "Great! I'll come by tomorrow and we'll go," and with that she hung up. After a while she realized that she did not say 'bye'. She quickly dialed the number again and he picked up. "I'm so sorry, I never got what you think!"
"That's fine," he answered quietly.
"Okay...uh...great...so see you tomorrow! Bye," she finally hung up. She rested her head on the couch and smiled. She now felt as if she could realax. Soon after, she was fast asleep.
***********
At the Smith's residence, Lindsay was sitting quietly waiting for Mr.Winner to arrive at thier house again, to close the deal with her father. In the back of her head, she wished that Trowa would come as well. She has not seen him since the last time they met, and like Sydney, she also could not stop thinking about him.
The bdoor bell finally rang, and the blonde man walked into the mansion greeted by Lindsay's father. She got up from her seat to greet him as well. She smiled and shaked his hand. When she looked over his shoulder she saw that Trowa had come after all. He waited by the door and didn't move from there.
She approached him, but was stopped by her father calling out for her to come with him. He caught eye contact with her as she turned around and followed her father. After a few minutes of sitting through arguing from both sides, she excused herself, but both parties were too busy to listen to her, so she let herself out.
When she arrived at the front entrance, hoping that Trowa would be seated in the Living room, she did not find him there and felt a little disappointed. She went to the kitchen for a glass of water. She asked the maid where the man that was waiting by the door went. The maid replied that he was in the game room. She smiled and even kissed the maid on the cheek.
She hurried to the game room, and had found him palying pool alone. "Do you mind if I play?" she asked quietly.
He looked at her, and nodded his head no. He placed all the balls in the center for a new game as she got ready. She began the game, and landed a ball. She went again and landed another, and she kept going till she landed them all. "Were you going to let me play?" he asked smiling.
She let out a chuckle, "Sorry, I play a lot! So you like pool?" she asked.
"Not really, I was just waiting for Quatre and I let myself in here, if thats okay," he answered.
"That's fine, are you waiting for him to give you another order for you to pick up?"
"Not this time, he said that after this, he would invite me to dinner because of my hard work!"
She smiled. "Are you free all the time?"
He looked at her puzzled. "I mean, are you free to do whatever you want, is what I meant!" she cleared her throat.
"I guess so..." he answered.
"That's good. Um...I have to go back to my father's meeting. Its really nice to have played a game with you, even though you really didn't play!" she smiled and left the room.
She rushed back to the room, only to find her father and Quatre sitting down for a drink. "So I take it the deal is closed, finally," she said.
Her father smiled. "Yes, yes, come in! Having Mr.Winner at our side was the best decision I have ever made," he told her.
She sat herself down. She wanted to go back and play again with Trowa, but it seemed like her father and Quatre were having fun. She rested her chin in the plam of her hand as the room was filled with laughter.
Soon after, Trowa knocked on the door, he had something to say to Quatre. She could evesdrop on them because she sat beside the door. Apparently, Trowa's sister was calling him home and he came to apologize to Quatre about the dinner and leave. She didn't want him to leave, so she found the best possible time to go run after him.
"Trowa!" she called. He turned around and looked at her. "Is there something wrong? Why are you leaving so early?" she asked.
"My sister called me, and she said it was an emergency! So I have to go, sorry!" he said sincerely.
"No, don't apologize, I just hope nothing is wrong," she said. "I hope we can see each other again," she said as she walked him to the door. With no reply, he ran to his car and drove of quickly. She shut the door as soon as she couldn't see him anymore through the dust. She turned around and rested her head on the door, and sighed.
She snapped out, when she heard loud laughter ring throughout the mansion, indicating that Quatre was ready to leave. The marched through to thd door, and she moved out of the way. She waved good-bye to Quatre as he left, and went back to her daydreaming. She slowly walked to her room, in a trance. Soon, soon she will tell him. And so will Sydney.
