"I think we should get together," she smiled.
"I don't know," Vaughn replied.
"I love you. I want to take a chance on us."
Oh, how he wished it was Sydney who was saying this. but it wasn't, it was Alice. She wanted to get back together. Back to how it was, them so close of getting married. He was confused and couldn't think straight. Vaughn knew he still loved her, but there was Sydney. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. Every thought was of her. Was it because she was untouchable, something that would burn and hurt if gone wrong? He didn't know, he just didn't know!
Alice was just staring at her ex. Michael was, or is an amazing man. She couldn't believe how dumb and stupid she was to let him go. For them to just distance themselves from each other. She just stared at his round, hazel eyes. He was concerned and distraught right now and she wondered why. They had to get back together or it'd be a hazard for them all. Alice closed her eyes and took in a deep breath of his scent. It felt so good to be close to him. All she wanted to do was hold him and kiss him.
Vaughn was startled when Alice brushed her knuckles against his cheek. It felt good and like they were never apart. He could see the hope in her eyes and sighed. What was he suppose to do? Sydney is there waiting for him...but Alice is now and is someone he wouldn't have to hide their relationship from the ones he cared for, everyone.
"I love you Michael," she paused. "But I can wait."
Vaughn looked deep into her eyes and slowly cupped her face in his hand. "I want to take it slow."
Alice started to tear up and swung her arms around his neck. She held on as tight as she could and slowly lowered her mouth on his. Vaughn embraced her lips and they just stood there like they were never gone from each other.
Vaughn felt joy and sadness. Joy that they were together again and sadness, for he'd never know the luscious lips of Sydney's on his.
"You're what?!" Weiss asked shockingly. His eyes as wide as it could be. "When? How? Who...?"
Vaughn didn't know what to say, he was still in shock because of what he'd just done. Alice and him were back together. It was like an interesting dream.
Weiss didn't know what else to say. Shocked was only half of what he was feeling. Sydney came to his mind and he grimaced. "I don't know how not to be personal with Sydney." His face turned from shock to concern. Was he just doing this because he wanted to really get back together, or was it because he knew he had no chance with Sydney. He shook his head out of disbelief, but partially knew that it was true. He had a feeling that Alice was a forget-Sydney tactic.
"What?" Vaughn asked.
"I didn't say anything," Weiss replied sharply.
"What was that shake of the head for?"
"Nothing," Weiss said blankly.
"You sure?"
"Yah," he lied.
"Ok," he stopped. "So what do you think?"
"It's....great!"
"I know. We're taking it slow to get used to each other again."
"Vaughn..."
Vaughn looked up and saw the worry in his friend's eyes. His voice gave him away to what he really thought.
"What?" he looked at him questionably.
"....I just wanted to say, you've forgiven each other about everything...."
"Yessss..." he looked at Weiss awkwardly. "Is that all?" Weiss didn't know what to say. He didn't want to but his nose into Vaughn's problems but the way he's been acting around Sydney and how defensive he gets. He just wasn't so dang sure of what to do.
"I...I...I want to know if this is or was about Syd."
Vaughn didn't know what to say. Yes, it is or no, it's not, while lying through his teeth.
"Syd's got nothing to do with this....I ..want to."
Weiss could tell that Vaughn was lying right to his face and that he was fighting over what he knew was right.
"Okay," he smiled. "I have to go now."
"Okay, I'll see you later," as he went back to his desk and reclined in his chair.
"I think we should get together," she smiled.
"I don't know," Vaughn replied.
"I love you. I want to take a chance on us."
