The both of them reached Vaughn's house and Sydney had immediately say her
good-night to Vaughn and went straight to bed. He could tell she was
extremely exhausted. She told him in the car that she was going on around 3
hours sleep in well over 48 hours, so he understood when she wanted to just
curl up in bed and crash.
Vaughn couldn't sleep however. He tossed and turned, his mind returning back to his memories, the only memories he had at the moment. He wanted to badly to remember his friends, his family, Sydney. He felt like his mind had a brick wall in it. A wall that was holding his entire memories captive and if he could only break through he could regain his life once again. He was so frustrated that he hadn't realized he had his fists clenched around the sheets.
"Water" he sighed as he got out of bed and was about to make his way to the kitchen. He exited his room, but stopped in the hallway, looking at the door to Sydney's room. He gave into temptation and opened the door marginally to take a peek at Sydney. He had known Sydney only a day and he was already completely in love with her, he wondered how he contained himself knowing her for a whole year previously.
All he wanted was to curl up next to her and feel her warmth next to him the rest of the night. To have her kiss him for him to explore her body would be heaven on earth for him. Vaughn let out a deep breath, closing the door to his sleeping beauty and walked the rest of the way to the kitchen. "Screw the glass of cold water, I need a cold shower now." He smirked to himself.
Going back to bed, he did feel better and eventually sleep captured Vaughn. The rest of the night passed quietly until the sun rose and greeted them into a new day. Vaughn was the first to wake up, getting dressed in a worn pair of jeans and a shirt which he could only describe as the most comfortable article of clothing ever. Knowing that Sydney would still be sleeping due to her exhaustion he moseyed himself in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
"Sydney. Sydney."
"Saturday, no school." She murmured into the pillow.
"Actually, it's Tuesday and you're on break from classes...you told me so yourself." He said as she began to open her eyes. "Good morning"
"Mmm.. morning. Sorry, I had the weirdest dream that I was still a teenager and in high school." She stopped and sniffed the air. "Is that deliciousness aroma the scent of breakfast?"
"That it is. Now hurry up and eat it or else it'll be cold."
"Ok, give me two minutes to get dressed and I'll be out." He nodded his head with a smile and left the room, closing the door behind him. Sydney noted to herself how different he seemed. It seemed so relaxed and comfortable. If she weren't careful, she would start to feel as if they were a normal couple.
"Syd, you look beautiful." He said, standing stunned as she walked into the kitchen.
Sydney looked at herself "In jeans and a tank top?" She brushed it off and accepted the unexpected compliment. "Thank you. You look nice too." What she wouldn't give to go over there and kiss him. She could never get tired of hearing him compliment her. "I didn't know you could cook."
"Yeah, neither did I until I just started cooking. It came so naturally, I guess I used to do this a lot."
"What? Cook breakfast for your female friends in the morning?" She joked, yet couldn't help the jealous feeling that rose in the pit of her stomach.
Vaughn didn't give an answer, because he didn't really know how to answer it. He didn't remember if he usually had female partners for breakfast. He didn't know if he used to go to bed every night thinking of Sydney, as he did last night. He sort of shrugged it off and the two of them enjoyed their first breakfast together.
A few hours later, Vaughn had his head and his hands up in one of his closets. "Ok, the only thing I'm seeing is Twister." He lied. He couldn't resist the chance to have both their bodies tangled up in one another in a seemingly innocent game.
"Twister will have to do then." Sydney answered him.
"Have you ever played Twister?"
"Yeah, of course I have, lots of times." It used to be one of her favorite games to play, she loved the challenge of staying up.
He laughed. "No, I meant have you ever played this game with me. Did we ever hang out one time and play it?"
She looked at him somberly. "Vaughn, the closest thing we've ever done together for fun was break into the Vatican. That was pretty entertaining."
"I broke into the Vatican!?" He couldn't believe he would do such a horrible thing towards his religion.
Now it was Sydney's turn to laugh. "Yes we did. I remember you're exact words. 'Yes, I'll break into the Vatican with you.' We did it for a mission, to help. We gave everything we took back, don't worry. I'm sure the angels are up in heaven right now polishing you're halo, you'll get your angel status, don't worry."
***
"My guardian angel."
"I was going to say the same thing to you, thanks for the promotion."
***
"Guardian angel. you're my guardian angel." Vaughn recited slowly.
"Gee thanks." She said, not knowing he had just had another flashback.
"No, I remember. I was talking to you by satellite, you were in some stadium, you called me you're guardian angel, and I called you it back because you gave me a promotion.
She smiled. "This is wonderful! I'm so happy for you. Is anything else coming to you?"
He thought for a moment. "No, I just remember that."
"No matter, we're making progress. This is a good thing! No, it's a great thing!" She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly before moving her head and looking into his eyes. They remained with their eyes locked on each other, lips just millimeters apart before Sydney backed away and smoothed out her shirt. "Vaughn. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten so close."
"Don't be sorry. Sydney, why can't we? I mean, I know there are a million protocol reasons why, but take a chance. We could be missing out on something great by just accepting this 'friends' thing.
"There are a million reasons, but the biggest being you. Vaughn, I can't lose you again. I can't lose you, I just can't. If something happened between us, and SD-6 found out, they would have you killed before we could blink. You're too important to me." She looked at his face that had gone from hopeful to mournful. "Hey, all we need to do is get SD-6 out of the way. We take then down and the world is ours. I'll be out of the spy business forever and I can begin my life. with you." He looked at her and when she looked into his beautiful eyes, all the reasons why they were apart once again flew out of her head.
