busy! Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter 20
Will realized what he had just done and mentally slapped himself on the head. ' I can't go out with Jenny! It's too soon,' he thought, "I'm still getting over Syd!' He knew that he had to back out of this somehow.
" Jenny, now that I think of it, I don't think I can make it tomorrow night." Jenny's smile faded as she looked to the side. 'Great, I finally get his attention, and he turns me down,' she thought to herself. She tried to smile. "Maybe another time?" Will said, trying to make Jenny feel better.
"Yeah ok, sure, some other time." She sighed.
*************************
"Joey's Pizza?" Sydney heard a familiar voice on the other end of the line.
"Sorry, wrong number." She hung up and gathered her things as she left the apartment. Thank god Francie wasn't home.
*************************
Vaughn waited patiently at the warehouse. He looked around the old, dusty room and sighed. It was the one place where Sydney and him could just be together. It was the only place where they didn't have to worry about being seen or heard. They could just talk, and of course, discuss business, without having to worry about all of the dangers that surrounded them. Sydney's footsteps alerted him of her arrival.
"Hi" Sydney smiled as she stepped into the room.
"Hey," he responded and almost automatically walked over to her and placed a light kiss on her lips.
"That was a nice surprise." She said, as her smile grew wider. Vaughn hated to change the subject, but as always, business before pleasure.
"So why are we here, what's your SD-6 mission? You didn't explain anything on your note, so I don't even have a counter-mission ready for you." He looked worried.
"Don't worry Vaughn. It's good news. I'm taking a vacation." She laughed at his reaction.
"A real vacation?" He looked shocked.
"Yeah. Sloane's paying for it, he said I deserved a break."
"Wow. Well, have a good time… and if you need me, just call."
"Thanks…that's so sweet." She smiled as she kissed him once again. Sydney was starting to feel guilty. "I have to go now. Bye." She planted a small kiss on his cheek and rushed out of the warehouse.
***************************
Sydney tried to tell herself that nothing was wrong, but she knew better.
'I did not lie to him, I did not lie to him' she told herself, 'I just didn't tell him the whole truth.' She sat in her car quietly. 'Oh god. Fine, I admit it, I lied to Vaughn.'
She couldn't believe that she was keeping something from the one man that she thought she could tell anything and everything to. But it wasn't her fault; it was for Emily's safety.
*******************************
Vaughn stood still, wondering why Sydney had left so quickly. He felt as though she was hiding something from him, but why wouldn't she tell him?
He trusted her, but the fact that Sloane was paying for her vacation made him even uneasier. The only thing he could do was trust Sydney. Anyways, she could always call him if she needed help, but he couldn't help feeling that Sydney was not telling him something that he needed to know.
*****************************
Sydney walked into her apartment and collapsed on the couch.
"Hi Syd." Francie sat down next to her.
"Hey" She smiled.
"So, how is Mr. Gorgeous hunk?" Francie giggled.
"Francie! He's fine." Sydney smiled as Francie's amused grin grew.
"And, how's it going between you two?" She gave Syd a sly look.
"Francie! Seriously, he's just a friend!"
"Sure he is..." Francie elbowed Sydney in the ribs and they laughed.
"Guess what Francie."
"What?"
"The bank gave me a vacation!" Francie opened her mouth and faked shock.
"Oh…my…god!" Sydney laughed. "Really?"
"Yeah, my boss is even paying for it." Francie looked confused,
"What do you mean paying for it?"
"Oh." Sydney gulped, "Well, he's sending me on a trip, he said I needed to relax."
"That's great Syd! But you will be spending time with me and Will, right?" Sydney noticed that Francie looked a little worried.
"Of course, Francie! I better go pack."
"Want some help?"
"Sure" They walked into Syd's room and started to pack.
***************************
Vaughn sat at his desk, staring blankly at the paperwork that lay in front of him. He sighed. Weiss walked into his office and started, "Hey Mike." He shook his head, " Ok, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just can't concentrate." He kept his eyes on his desk, he didn't dare look at Weiss or he would figure out what was wrong, but Weiss knew him better than he thought.
"This is about Sydney isn't it?" He sighed
"No, who said it was about Sydney?" He said, a little too soon.
"Come on Mike. I bet you'll go home, plop down on the couch, turn on the TV, and stare at the ceiling as you drink a can of coke and think of Sydney."
"Actually, I didn't plan on doing that tonight." Weiss smiled.
"Really? Well then, where you going to plop down in front of your kitchen table and think about her then? Mike, you're so predictable." He sighed as he left Vaughn's office.
******************************
"I guess I am predictable." Vaughn said out loud.
He was sitting on the couch, with the TV turned on, but he wasn't paying attention to the TV because he was too busy staring at the ceiling and drinking his coke while he thought of Sydney.
He stayed like this for a while, but eventually decided to get up and go to bed. What was the difference? He would think about her there too.
TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: Thanks to Elizabeth for the idea about the Will/Syd kiss (The part where she realizes how much she loves Vaughn). Anyways, once again I'm Sooooooooo sry that this took so long to post! To all of you who read my story and enjoy it, you're the best. To all of you who read my story, enjoy it, and review it, you're even greater!
