Chapter 4: Unexpected Happenings: When I finally reached my house it was around 10:00. I went inside and threw my things down on the floor. I collapsed on the couch with a huge smile on. Vaughn was available. Alice was gone! Now Vaughn was all for the taking! I know I can't have him, yet, because of our jobs and protocol but if I can't have him I don't want anyone else to be able to. Just then my thoughts were interrupted by Francie walking the door. Or so I thought.
I glanced over though and to my surprise I saw Will. "Hey, what you doing here?" I questioned him, careful to keep my smile but not as googlied-eyed, just enough to show I was happy he was here.
"Just wanted to relay a message from Francie. She said that the party was going great so she probably wouldn't be home till real late, so don't wait up."
"Ok, thanks. But why didn't she just call?" Why had will come to relay a message, and especially one that wasn't even that important? I had figured all along that she wouldn't be home till far past midnight.
"Well I was there and heading home and she figured I could just swing by to tell you." I then got impatient with Will's indirectness and raised my eyebrows at him.
"Ok, well she wanted me to persuade you to come on down to the party for a bit."
"You aren't going to give up are you?" I asked him.
"No. I'm not, not until you say you'll come."
At this point I was just tired of getting browbeaten so I said, "Fine but only for a short time." Plus, I figured this would be my own personal way to celebrate Vaughn and Alice breaking up.
"Good." Will said as a smile grew on his face. Since I was already dressed nice from my meeting with Vaughn I didn't need to change so we left and I went with Will in his car.
With in the half hour we were at the restaurant. We had to park pretty far away cause the place was so busy. Right when we walked in Francie saw us and ran over to give me a hug. "Glad you changed your mind to come." "Well, Will browbeaten me so I gave in. I suddenly felt like getting out to celebrate." Opps!
"Celebrate what?" I looked over at Will, and he got the idea and left us alone.
"Why don't I go get us some drinks?" He offered and then left so I started to semi-explain to Francie.
"Well, you know that Michael I was telling you about? I saw him today when I ran out for some things. We got talking and well, up till now he's had a girl friend, but today they broke up." "Which means he's free!" Francie interrupted to finish my statement. She hugged me and smiled. "Good for you Syd! Now you can call him and ask him to meet you here." I knew even though he didn't have a girl friend anymore, I still couldn't do that cause of our jobs. "Sorry Fran, not tonight." "Well, ok, but some other time. And I want to meet him. The way he makes you light up, he must be something special." Just then Will showed up with our drinks. "Who's something special?" I smiled, it was just like Will to snoop a bit and then ask questions. I guess it was his reporter instincts.
"Michael." Francie quickly answered, as we both grabbed our drinks from Will.
"Oh!" I looked at Will and our eyes met, and then I quickly looked down. With Fran it was no big deal to tell her because she didn't know him, but Will did. Will knew exactly whom I was so in love with.
"How do you know about him?" I said to Will, but knowing the answer I starred at Francie. Francie just decided to tell herself.
"Well, I sort of told him. We just got talking and I didn't think you'd mind." I smiled, didn't think I'd mind. Of course I would mind. I don't just go telling everyone I am in love, especially when our love is forbidden. I just smiled though showing I forgave her.
"Well I hope he knows how lucky he is." Will interrupted, as he looked into my eyes. I was glad Will seemed genuinely happy for me. I hugged him, and gave him a kiss on the cheek and whispered, "thanks" in his ears.
We all sipped some of our drink and then the bell over the door jingled, symbolizing someone entering. I looked over and didn't need to look again. I recognized that face. I quickly reverted my stare to the ground. As dangerous as I knew this situation could get, I couldn't help but smile. I was in the same room as Vaughn and we were in public, at a party! I wasn't the only one to notice his entrance though. Will leaned over my shoulder and said under his breath, "Speaking of the devil, look who's here."
*Hope you like it everyone. Please R/R. Do you want to know what happens next. I'll try to update it again this weekend.
