Chapter 2
By six forty-five everything was in the car and Syd was rinsing the coffee cups. They had decided to drive for an hour then pull off the road for breakfast. Gage could have eaten anytime but Syd had wanted to wait and Gage didn't want to upset her after the crying jag this morning.
When they had gotten out of bed, Gage had dressed, gathered up the bags and taken them to the car. Syd had intended on putting the coffee on and making some breakfast. She wrapped her robe around her and stood up only to have a wave of dizziness hit her, followed by a queasy stomach. She sat down quickly bending so her head was between her legs. In a couple of minutes she was able to stand up and go and make the coffee, deciding against breakfast for now.
"Are you feeling all right? You look a little pale," Gage asked coming up behind her as she stood at the sink.
"I'm fine Gage, we'd better get a move on though," she said quickly changing the subject.
Regardless of what she said as they were pulling out of the driveway Syd was closing her eyes and she didn't open them again until Gage stopped the car at a small diner to get some breakfast.
"Where are we?" Syd asked opening her eyes as the car stopped.
Just pulled off for breakfast I'm starved."
She wanted to tell him she'd wait here for him but knew he'd be all over her wanting to know what was wrong if she said that so she opened the car door. Syd stepped inside the door of the diner and her stomach began to churn again from the smell of the food.
"I'm going to the bathroom," she said ducking towards it.
"Want some coffee?" Gage asked
"No a cola," she said as the door closed behind her.
Gage mouthed the words, "a cola," as he watched her disappear.
**********
Syd stood in front of the mirror splashing cold water on her face. "What the hell is the matter with me," she asked herself seeing how pale she looked? She pinched her cheeks to give herself some colour before she rejoined Gage.
Gage was looking at the menu when she slid into the booth with him. The waitress came right over to the table when she saw Sydney sit down. Gage asked her if she'd like a minute to look at the menu.
"No I'm just having toast."
Gage ordered up a big breakfast enough for both of them Syd thought to herself hoping she could sit there to watch him eat the four runny eggs he'd just ordered.
Finally breakfast was over. Syd went to get in the car and Gage went to pay the bill. The cool breeze felt good on her face. She settled back in her seat with the door open waiting for Gage, closing her eyes as she waited. A few minutes later he pushed her door shut, came around the car and got in. He reached over and caressed her face with the back of his fingers. She turned slightly brushing her lips against them with a kiss.
In a few minutes Gage had them back on the road, they hadn't gone a mile when Syd was yelling at him to pull off the road. The second the car stopped she was out and off to the side loosing her breakfast. Gage was right behind her now pulling her hair back and running his hand down her back.
"Can you stand up Honey?" he asked her.
"I think so," she told him letting him support her as she did so.
"Once she was standing Gage put his arms around her and held her close to him.
"God Gage I don't know what's the matter with me. I started to feel a little dizzy when I got up this morning but I thought I was just tired and figured it would pass."
"Let's get back on the road you can rest when we get to the hotel."
Gage helped his wife into the car and came back around to his side. He reached in the back and grabbed a can of ginger ale for her that he had bought at the diner, suspecting she wasn't feeling that good. She gratefully took it and then she slept for most of the rest of the trip; it wasn't until they were pulling into the hotel that she opened her eyes.
"Hey Sleepy how are you feeling?" Gage asked when he saw her eyes open.
"Better but I'm reserving judgement until I stand up."
Gage pulled up at the front of the hotel as the doorman came around to open his door. Gage handed the keys to him, told him Syd was Miss Cruzo and asked that her bags be brought up to his room.
"Certainly Mr. Pearson," he said going around and opening the door for Syd.
Gage hurried around to be able to help Syd out of the car in case she needed help. She was still a little unsteady on her feet and was glad to have his hand under her elbow guiding her through the hotel lobby to the elevators. The elevator doors closed and Gage put his arm around Syd as she leaned her head against him.
"Well I don't feel as sick but I still ache all over and I feel exhausted."
He kissed the top of her head and pulled her a little closer, "We'll talk to Walker and then you can have a nap. We have a party to go to tonight."
Slipping the card key through the lock Gage opened the door. Syd kicked her shoes off as soon as she was inside and curled up on the king size bed.
"You'll never find me in this bed," she teased Gage.
"If you're there I'll find you Syd," he laughed as he took out his phone and dialled Walker.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. Gage opened it to let Walker in. Syd had stood up making sure she could and walked over and gave Walker a hug. Gage watched her looking for anything that might indicate she was still sick. She seemed fine. They discussed the case and Walker told them that they were to meet Michael Gato and some of his pals downstairs for a drink.
"Do we need Syd?" Gage asked.
"No not until tonight."
Gage turned to her, "Go and take a nap Syd."
"Gage I'm fine."
"Good you can prove it to me tonight."
Walker began to laugh at the two of them, "You can always pull rank Gage."
"You heard him we'll be back shortly, get some sleep."
She was still complaining as they shut the door and began walking down the hall.
**********
Gage explained to Walker about Syd not feeling too good on the drive down and that she really did seem much better now.
"Must be one of those twenty-four hour flu bugs. She was fine at five o'clock but by seven she was looking a little green. Now she seems pretty good."
"I don't think she is missing anything I think Michael Gato is just wasting more of our time. Hopefully tonight when we meet with the old man we can finally get a commitment."
When they walked into the lounge Gato was all ready there with his pals and three or four female companions that always seemed to be with them. As Walker predicted Gato was just pulling their chain, wanting to know if the infamous Mac had arrived and asking what sort of deal he was offering.
"We're not at liberty to discuss what Mac has in mind," Walker told them.
Amy Scott, who had been coming on to Gage since the start, got up and moved to the arm of his chair draping her arm around him. She leaned down almost in Gage's face so that her more then ample breasts were in full view. Gage being Gage was trying to turn away without being impolite.
In one swift movement Amy found herself sprawled on the floor her girlfriends rushing to help her up. Gage didn't have to look behind him to know what had happened.
"Hi Mac," he greeted Syd, "decided to join us after all."
"If this is the type of people we have to do business with maybe we should be getting back on the plane and heading for home."
"Colt and I have been saying that all along," said Walker as he downed the rest of his beer getting ready to leave.
"Michael tell your Father I look forward to meeting him tonight. Oh and Michael have a little class don't bring any of your little playmates with you tonight."
Gage downed his beer almost choking on it; he took some money out of his pocket and threw it on the table. Then he joined Sydney and Walker and they all left together, splitting up when they got off the elevator. Walker figured Gage was going to have some explaining to do.
**********
Syd had not spoken once to Gage all the way to their room. He closed the door and the silence continued. Walking over to her he put his arms around.
"You do know that she is no one to me?"
"Yes."
"Then why are you mad at me?"
"I'm not. I'm mad because I lost my cool in the lounge and dragged her to the floor."
Gage began laughing he had rather enjoyed it when Syd had pulled Amy to the floor.
"I think it worked out well. You certainly got everyone's attention," Gage lifted her face to his while he spoke, "I've got something for you."
"What?"
"You have to promise to wear it tonight. I was going to give it to you last night then it seemed one thing led to another, then this morning you weren't feeling good."
"Gage for God's sake what is it?"
He went to his suitcase and pulled out a blue velvet jewellery case, handing it to her he told her, "One of those nights that I was feeling lonely for you I went out for a walk and by chance I saw this in a store window. I thought it would be perfect for my wife and maybe just maybe she would forgive me for being away from her so long."
Syd's hands were trembling as she opened the case. Cushioned inside was a beautiful string of pearls.
"I didn't think that you were ever speechless Syd."
"Gage it's just so beautiful I've never had anything like this before," she had her arms around his neck now kissing him and telling him she loved him.
"I love you too Sydney Gage," he loved using her married name when ever he could. She loved the sound of it too.
He began to reach for her until she reminded him that Walker would be there in forty minutes.
"All right but when I get you back here tonight..." Gage didn't finish instead he let go of her so she could get ready.
**********
Syd stood looking at herself in the mirror, she was putting on weight. The red dress had always fit tight but it seemed even snugger now. Her breasts felt like they were being pushed out of the top of the dress. She walked into the other room, and Gage gave a low whistle of approval. He had loved that dress on her since the first time he'd seen her in it.
"It's great if I don't want to sit down while I'm wearing it."
"I think you look sensational Syd.
"Help me fasten this," she said as she handed her necklace to Gage.
He put it around her neck and closed the clasp. She slowly turned to face her husband. Gage held her at arms length admiring everything about her.
He pulled her to him and whispered to her, "You are beautiful Syd."
"You make me that way Gage," she smiled back at him. Then standing on her toes, she brought her lips to his ear telling him, "You aren't so bad yourself, handsome."
They were interrupted by a knock at the door, Walker was there it was show time.
