Disclaimer First Chapter.
I'd like to thank everyone for reading this and also for replying. All of the reviews mean a lot to me and I really appreciate
people taking the time and actually replying! I'd like to give a special shoutout to Masquerade,CG, and Ice for their really great stories.
And thanks to screen names are tacky for reviewing to every single one of my stories in this series! I hope you enjoyed it.
Chapter Four
Sark kissed her shoulder gently. "You are so beautiful, Mrs. Canton."
"So, I am definitely not Mrs. Sark."
"Oh, no. Not if I can help it!"
"I told the guard to leave Dixon and Elizabeth alone. Is that okay?"
"Hey, you can order my associates around now. They are all yours, you know. We share. 50-50 partnership. In everything."
Sydney shifted and turned to face him.
"Thank you for everything."
"No problem at all, Luv."
He held onto her tightly.
"Are you really mine, Sydney?"
"Forever. And ever. And ever. You're stuck with me now."
"I can live with that."
She said seriously. "You better."
She slowly took the crown off.
"I love this thing."
"You looked like a princess."
"I felt like one. Andrew, up until Sloane came, I felt normal for once."
He stroked her cheek softly, "You are normal."
She shook her head, incredulously.
"You're normal to me, Syd."
She sucked on his bottom lip, starting to nibble on his mouth. "I love you."
"Me too."
"I have to go tell my three best friends in the world good bye."
"You don't have to."
"I have to let them go."
He nodded. She kissed his lips softly, before leaving to find her friends.
Francie stood before her now.
"Hey, you."
"Hey." The two girls stood in a sad silence.
"You'll be fine in Australia. They speak English and everything."
"Will's coming with me. It won't be so bad with him there."
"You'll be safe. Just lay low, use your aliases."
"Aliases."
"Mhm. Andrew will be keeping tabs on you. If you're in any danger, we'll be there."
"You'll be happy now. Have a normal life."
"Except for the hiding. And the secrets. And the helping Andrew on his missions for his 'neutral' organization."
"But you'll have him. He loves you a lot. I think he would do just about anything for you."
"Well, the feeling is mutual."
They fell quiet, tears in both their eyes.
"I love you, girl."
"I love you, too, Fran."
They embraced.
"I'll miss you."
"Me too. I'll see you again."
"This isn't forever. It's temporary."
They hugged once more.
"Good bye, Francie."
"Bye, Sydney."
Their tears spilled over their cheeks as Francie walked out the door.
Will was next. "Hi."
He nodded.
"Thank you for everything. You've given up so much for me. I want you to know I love you and we'll always be best friends."
"I know, Sydney. Be careful. And thank you. For saving the world for us over and over again."
"You'll be all right in Australia."
"Aye, Mate." He said, doing his best to mimic an Australian accent.
She choke laughed. "We'll be watching over you."
"Our guardians to the end, right?"
"Forever."
Will hugged her, his own eyes watering.
"I love you, Sydney, more than you'll ever know."
He nodded at her. "We should go."
"You should."
"I'll see you, Will."
"Good bye, Sydney."
He kissed her forehead. She watched Will and Francie get in the car and drive off. Sydney sobbed and felt arms hug her.
"Vaughn." She knew it was him.
"Hi."
She buried her head in his chest.
"How fitting. You have to deal with one more of my breakdowns before you leave."
He hugged her tightly.
"If you ever need me, I won't be far away."
"My guardian angel always."
"Oui, Madame. Nothing will ever change that."
"Thank you for listening to me, for being there, for loving me."
"I still love you."
"And I will always love you."
"I'll be in Nice. It's not far from your beach house. Like two hundred miles or so."
"Andrew told you."
"Yes."
"Keep in touch, Vaughn."
"I will."
She kissed his cheek and he brushed her tears away.
"You'll always have a special place in my heart."
She smiled sadly and placed her hand over his heart.
He pulled away from her.
"I'll see you, Sydney, I promise."
"I will, Michael."
He went to another car and opened the door. She sent him a half wave when he looked back up at the window. He returned the action and then wiped a tear from his cheek. He shut the car door and drove away, leaving a heart broken Sydney behind.
Sark held her while she cried, for nearly an hour. He comforted her, whispering words of tenderness and even sang quiet little songs to her. She finally composed herself enough to take a deep breath and say, "This has been the best day of my life and the worst day of my life."
Sark nodded as he ran his hand down her arm.
"I don't regret anything, though."
"Regrets are just wishing you were different. I wouldn't want you to be in any way different than the way you are now."
Sydney kissed him. "I'm ready to go."
"Tahiti?"
"Sounds good to me."
He helped her up and fingered her wedding ring. It was much simpler than her engagement ring. A platinum band with heart shaped diamonds embedded in the circle. Engraved on the inside, it read LOVE AND HATE YOU FOREVER AC.
His own ring said something of the same sort. MY LOVE AND WRATH ALWAYS SB.
It made sense only to them, it was part of the bond that no one would ever understand. That they could love each other so fiercely and hate each other with such a passion was something that was beyond everyone else. Sydney brought out Sark's gentler side, Sark brought out Sydney's more dangerous one. They balanced each other perfectly, the love, the hate, the fire, the passion, the desire, the independence, it all fit like a puzzle together. He asked one of his lackeys to take their bags to the car. He lifted her in his arms and Sydney giggled. "What are you doing?"
"Carrying you off into the sunset. Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?"
"My knight in shining armor?"
"Something like that."
"I love you."
Sark didn't think he would ever get tired of hearing those words. He'd spent half a life without them. He didn't want to imagine what his life would be like without Sydney again. Not now. He didn't ever want to.
"I love you."
Sydney beamed at him. Sark made her feel so different, so special. She knew he would be there always, she didn't even want to think about their life turning out otherwise. He placed her into the car and got in next to her. They drove away, both just happy that they were together.
