Chapter 19
Francie sat down next to Sydney and gave her a "you-know-you-wanna-tell-me" kind of look. Sydney smiled.
"There's nothing to say, Francie." An amused look appeared on Francie's face.
"Fine, then I guess I'll just have to ask you some questions, young lady" she grinned, " So, who was that gorgeous hunk?" Sydney burst into laughter.
"Just a friend." Sydney replied, wishing she could tell Francie what Vaughn really meant to her.
"Are you sure he's not more than just a friend," Francie said jokingly, " 'cause if he's not, then you don't know what you're missing!" Sydney continued laughing.
"He's just a friend, Francie." Sydney said as the smile spread across her face.
"Are you sure…" Francie teased, " I mean, you sure spent a lot of time alone in here," She gave Sydney a sly look, " with him"
"He's just a friend." Sydney said again, but this time somewhat less convincingly.
"Uh-huh…. Sure…" Sydney stared at her friend, an amused look on her face.
"Francie!" Francie and Sydney laughed together now. Sydney felt a lot happier now, and if anything good had come from Will's kiss, it was definitely the fact that she now realized just how much she really loved Vaughn.
****************************
Will sat at his computer, his screen blank. He couldn't concentrate. Jenny walked into his office.
"Hi." She gave him a sweet smile and tried to show off her short mini- skirt. 'Doesn't he ever realize that I'm flirting with him?'
Now that Will had reached a dead end with Syd, she was not romantically interested in him, he finally noticed Jenny. As he turned to face her, she positioned herself so as to show off her legs.
"Hi Je-", He cut himself off as he stared. "Damn that mini-skirt is short!' He gave her an appreciative grin. He had never really noticed Jenny, he had been to busy thinking about Sydney. Sure, he hated to admit it but he was still in love with Sydney, but that didn't mean he couldn't check Jenny out. After all, Sydney didn't like him in that way, right?
Jenny noticed that Will's eyes lingered just a little too long around her thighs. 'Finally! He noticed!' She hated to break his concentration but she figured that it she finally had a chance.
"Hey, Will, do you want to go-" Will cut her off sharply.
"Shit! My article!" He scrambled out of his chair and ran out of his office, leaving Jenny leaning against the wall, her mouth still open from when he cut her off.
Will ran into Abby's office!
"Will! You're ok!" She smiled.
"Yeah, you guys didn't print my article, right?" He hoped they hadn't.
"Um…actually, I think we just sent it to the printers."
"Damn! They can't print it! I have to get it back, Abby!" Abby was confused but decided to help him anyways.
"I'm actually not sure if they sent it yet. You should go check! Hurry, before they send it!" Will ran as fast as he could.
*********************
Will returned to his office, letting a sigh of relief escape him. He had gotten there just in time to remove the article from the front page before they sent it to the printers. He saw Jenny waiting for him.
"Sorry about that. Something important came up." He smiled as he sat back down in his chair and quickly glanced her over. She smiled at the attention.
"So… Will, do you want to go out for dinner tomorrow night?" She blushed slightly.
"Sure" Anything to get his mind off Sydney, plus, Jenny wasn't all that bad.
**************************
Sydney woke up ready to go back to work. Yesterday had been an exhausting, action-packed day for her. She slipped on a suit and left her apartment, waving goodbye to Francie.
Sydney got out of her car and entered the Credit Dauphine building. She passed Dixon and waved. He returned her wave with a smile. Sydney sat down at her desk. Thank god it was summer break or she would be completely overloaded with schoolwork. She was getting her things organized when Dixon came by her desk.
"Sloane wants to see you in his office."
"Thanks Dixon" She smiled and got up.
Sydney entered Sloane's office and sat down.
"You wanted to see me, Sir?" She asked politely.
"Yes Sydney." Sloane smiled, "It's about Emily. She wants you to come visit her." Sydney's face lit up.
"I'd love to!" Sloane was pleased with her reaction.
"I know I can trust you Sydney, and you are like a daughter to Emily. She will be very happy to see her. I have booked a flight for you tomorrow morning. Is that all right?" Sydney was glad to go visit Emily. This would be a like a vacation that she really needed.
"That would be great."
"Wonderful, you can go now Sydney." Sydney walked out of the office. She would have to meet with Vaughn, even though there was no mission.
TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: So what do you guys think? Please tell me! I tried to make it a little longer this time! Sorry it took so long to post this chapter! Remember, I'm renaming the story "Aftermath" soon.
