Chapter 4
Sydney's POV
As I start out of my car and into Michael's apartment, my mind starts wandering.
This past week has been amazing. Well, Michael has been amazing anyways. He's so kind and sweet and smart. This list just goes on and on. *Sigh* I can't believe, me, Sydney Bristow, queen of black luck, met such a wonderful guy.
Since Sloane had decided to be nice for once and give me the week off, I've been able to spend lots of time with Mike. Francie says we're inseparable. She told me that in a few weeks, it'll take a crowbar to pry us apart. I started cracking up when she told me that. I guess it's sort of true though. When I wasn't doing stuff at the CIA office or Mike wasn't working, we were always doing something.
We went ice skating the other night and went to see a movie the next night. I've been to his apartment and he's been to mine. Mike's even on my speed dial now. He's number one. I know, I know what you're thinking. Isn't this going a little fast? Well, the truth is I think I'm in love. The only thing that stands in the way of our happiness is all the lies I'll have to tell him so that he doesn't find out what I really do. It'll be hard though considering the many trips that I take. I know Mike won't like it that I travel so much. If Francie hates that I travel, Mike will like it even less. It's a good thing this week I don't have any missions for SD-6. At least we have one week of inseparability.
As I get to Mike's floor, my pager goes off. Damn those pagers. I get out my cell phone and dial Kendall's number.
"Kendall."
"Sir, it's Agent Bristow."
"Ah, yes. We have decided who your handler will be and would like you to come in to meet him."
"Right now?"
"Yes." I sigh and agree to come. After ending the call, I press one on the speed dial.
"Michael Vaughn."
"Hey, Mike. I'm sorry, but I can't come over tonight. I have to go into the bank for a meeting."
"It's okay, Syd. I was just going to call you and tell you the same thing. I have to go see a client of mine for a while."
"Alright, well. I'll see you later. Bye."
"Sure. Love you."
"Love you too." I hung up the phone and smile. Despite having to call our home date, at least I know he loves me too. I hurry down to my car and take the drive to CIA headquarters. It takes me a while because I have to make sure I lose all the tails. Finally I get there and head to Kendall's office.
As I open the door, I see Kendall and another person I would assume was my handler. He looked an awful lot like someone I knew. Wait a minute. Could it be?
"Mike?"
Vaughn's POV
I sit down the couch and flip on the television. Of course, I don't really pay attention. I'm too busy thinking about Sydney. When I first said that I thought Sydney and I would be seeing more of each other, I didn't think it would be everyday. It's been amazing though. Well, she's amazing anyways. We've been with each other every minute we can. You would think we'd been dating for years if you saw us together. Weiss keeps teasing me about it. He says I'm a dog and she's leading me on a leash. I told him he was crazy which he is by the way.
Sometimes I think we're moving too fast, but it's too late. I'm already in love. I just hope she feels the same way. Suddenly, I hear my phone ring. I hoped it was Sydney, but was disappointed to find out that it was just Kendall.
"Michael Vaughn."
"Agent Vaughn, this is Agent Kendall. We've decided that we want you as a handler."
"Really, sir? Thank you very much."
"Yeah, well, we need you to come in right now to meet your agent."
"Um, alright. I'll be there soon, sir." I ended the call and headed out the door.
I was about to call Sydney and tell her I had to cancel when my cell phone rang. It turned out to be Sydney. She had to cancel too. That was good because I would have felt bad if I was canceling on her. I told her I love her before I could even comprehend what I had just said. Fortunately, she said it as well.
My heart leaped for joy when she said, "Love you too."
I got to my car and took the short drive to headquarters. It was surprisingly quick. Usually, there was LA traffic, but I guess everyone was at home today. Unfortunately, the CIA didn't work that way. I'm glad I got the job though. It was getting really boring just sitting behind a desk. After getting out of my car and going up the elevator, I head to Kendall's office.
When I get inside, he greets me and gives me some forms to fill out.
"Fill these out. Your agent should be coming shortly." I nod my head and start filling out the forms. That's why I didn't see her at first. As soon as I heard that distinctly feminine voice though, I quickly looked up.
"Mike?"
"Syd?"
