Chapter 5 Strawberries and Pancakes for Breakfast, YUM
Vaughn sat at the kitchen table with two plates of pancakes near him. There was a bowl of strawberries next to him and two cups of coffee as well as two glasses of cranberry juice. He sat there, reading the paper. It wasn't like he didn't already know what the paper was talking about, he actually knew more, the inside info and the stuff they don't want the public to know about. He suddenly looked up once he hurt banging coming from where Syd was. The next thing he saw was her. . . she was walking towards him with a smile on her face. She was wearing the same dark jeans and sweater that she had worn over there the night before, cause she had no other outfit to wear. All he could do was smile, he was soo happy she was finally apart of his life. She always had been ever since she joined the CIA but now she was apart of his life in the way he wanted her to be. She was his girlfriend . . .Girlfriend? . . 'Is she my girlfriend?' he thought, 'I guess she is, I like that, Sydney Bristow, my girlfriend.' His smile widened showing the cute little dimples he had on his cheeks.
"What are you smiling 'bout?" she asked
"You" he said blatantly
"Me, what did I do to make you smile that much?" she asked
"You really want me to go on and on about why I'm smiling about you?" he asked
"Yep" she replied, "I would like to know!"
"Okay, I was smiling because I was thinking about you coming over last night, what happened, and you being my girlfriend." There he said it, and he felt good to say it too.
"Your girlfriend?" she asked, "that's what I am?"
His huge grin was turned to a frown, a pout drawing to his face. "Oh Michael I'm just joking with you, yea I'm your girlfriend, wouldn't have it any other way!"
"Good, you had me scared for a minute," he said as he pulled her into a hug, "I hope you like pancakes!"
"Ehh Michael," he loved the way she said his name, he was used to hearing her say 'Vaughn' all the time but when she said Michael it was just different,. "I hate pancakes and strawberries make me sick," she said as she saw the plates of pancakes and the bowl of strawberries very near by.
Again Vaughn's expression fell, 'Good one Mike' he thought to himself
"Okay I have to stop doing this to you, I'm joking again, I love pancakes and strawberries are my favorite fruit! I just had to get back at you for the 'whole brushing my teeth' thing." Syd replied.
"Okay okay, even now?" Vaughn asked
"Absolutely, lets eat, I'm hungry" she replied. Both of them sat at the table sitting across from one another digging in to the dishes in front of them.
"So, who called ya this morning?" Vaughn asked
"Hey I thought you were sleeping?" she responded
"Nope, just wanted you to think I was so I could watch you when you weren't looking." He said smiling. "So you gonna tell me who or are you gonna hold out on me?"
"Well. . .I would, but if I tell ya, I'd have to kill ya!" she said poking fun at the way there job works at times.
"Syd, that's not funny" he replied as he noticed her in hysteria.
"Okay okay I'll tell ya. . . It was Will."
"Oh"
"Yea," she replied, "he was asking me why no one was answering the door at my house" Vaughn looked up, curiosity drawn all over his face, "he said that Francie wasn't even answering so I don't think she ever got home last night."
"Well, what did you say to him?" he asked.
"Well, I told him I had to leave early for work so I wasn't there but then he caught me when he asked if Francie ever got back from work last night." She replied.
"Oh, so he knows you're here" she nodded, "is he okay with that? I don't think he really likes me. Should I be worried that the next time I give him something to research he's gonna kick my ass?" he asked
Syd laughed, "I don't think you have anything to worry about. I mean I know that Will used to have feelings for me but he and Francie kissed so hopefully his mind is off me and on her. Leaving you out of danger!"
A sigh of relief escaped him, "Were you really that scare of him?" Syd asked noticing his reaction.
"No, no I wasn't I just thought . . well ya know, if. . I thought . . ." he stumbled out, he laughed, took a deep breath and finally got out what he wanted to say, "I just didn't wanna have to beat the crap out one of your best friends for your heart." A bit of embarrassment over came him.
Syd tried not to but she couldn't help it, she laughed before replying, "I'm sorry, I know that's not funny but I don't love Will even if he did have feelings for me, I love *you* and only you so you don't have to compete with anyone for my heart."
"Well that's a relief." He blurted out.
Syd laughed again, this time Vaughn joined her. As they finished, Syd took the dishes and cleaned them while Vaughn jumped in the shower. Once she was finished washing and drying, she plopped on the couch in the living room and started flipping the channels. 'God there is absolutely nothing good on' she thought. She suddenly got to a show that she caught her interest, "The Jerry Springer Show." She laughed, but then her expression got serious when she noted the topic. . . true friends with deep dark secrets!
"Francie," she mumbled instantly becoming part of the show.
"What about her?" Vaughn said startling Syd, not knowing he was there.
"I don't know Michael," she sighed. "I just feel like I'm not the only one keeping secrets anymore in my friendship with her. I mean I know she has every right to considering I keep A LOT of secrets from her, but I don't think they are good ones." She responded. "I have a bad feeling that she's different and not in a good way"
"Well I'm not goin anywhere," he said as he sat down next to her, cuddling her in his arms, "I'm all ears."
Syd smiled then proceeded to begin. . . .
