Chapter 26: The Auction (part II)
The current bid was $7,000. Sydney reached her hand into the air again and this time stood up and declared, "10,000 dollars!" The older woman was taken aback a bit by Sydney's sudden large jump in price. She didn't bid immediately so the auctioneer began the 3 count. With a hit of the man's gavel the piece of artwork was now Sydney's, or rather the CIA's.
The auctioneer moved the piece of art over to the side with the other sold pieces and then moved on with the auction.
Vaughn leaned over towards her and kissed her deeply. "Don't like to waste time do you?" Vaughn asked once they'd broken apart.
Sydney shrugged, "Why take all night with small bids when you have thousands of gov't dollars waiting to be spent?" She said with a smile. Vaughn returned the smile, and then kissed her again this time only a quick peck, but still just as affective on Sydney.
"Well what shall we do now?" Vaughn asked, baffled himself. Sydney looked around and then turned back towards Vaughn with a shrug.
"Well we have to wait for the auction to end before we can even get up to do anything. It would be rude to get up in the middle." Sydney pointed out, but there was something about the way she said it that led Vaughn to believe she wasn't sharing something. He gave her a look and she smiled devilishly. She leaned in close to Vaughn and whispered softly, and seductively in his ear, "I have to use the lav, I might be awhile." She kissed him on the cheek, winked his way, and then was gone.
Vaughn tried to stifle his smile and laugh. If the CIA ever found out we did it on the job, we'd be dead; is all he could think. Eventually he gave up on the whole wrongness issue and just concentrated on the fun part. After a few moments had passed Vaughn followed suit and headed out of the hall and found his way to the bathrooms.
He walked past a few doors, all shut and locked. Sooner or later, Vaughn found two doors marked 'restroom'. He knocked softly on one of the doors and got no response. Before he even got a chance to knock on the second door, it came flying open and an arm grabbed and pulled him inside.
It was all a blur to him, and before he could even make out what was happening a pair of lips were all over him. Ultimately, they broke apart for air. "So was this your little rendezvous plan?" Vaughn said smart- assly.
"Well ½ of it." She admits.
"And the other half would be?" Vaughn asked, already knowing the answer.
"Whatever you want it to be," Sydney said seductively as she played with his collar, already beginning to unbutton the top button.
Vaughn beamed, "Well.I'm kind of hungry." Sydney hit him playfully. "Okay if no food than I'll settle for one attractively gorgeous super spy."
Sydney blushed at his compliment then came back to with a rebuttal, "Well I wouldn't want you to settle." She said starting to pull away and straighten herself out.
Before long Vaughn grabbed her back in his arms. "Hey you said whatever I want, and right now I want you." He captured her lips with his and then trailed his kisses down her neck and all over her. In-between moans Sydney managed to rationalize, "We need to be quick before anybody misses us."
Vaughn couldn't help but chuckle at how no matter what she was all business. Okay well not all, but she always kept her head in the game, there really wasn't any place else for it anyway.
That evening the bathroom was full! (
The time they spent together was well used and precious to both. Even if for now their time together was spent lurking in dark corners and hidden from the people around them, it was enough to keep them both moving through life. Their love is their energy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eventually Sydney and Vaughn came to their senses and they still had a mission to complete. They returned to the auction hall for the last few bids. When the rest of the items were dispersed the people took to their feet for some food, drinks, and dancing before the night came to an end.
Sydney and Vaughn knew their public appearance was shortened due to the rendezvous. They decided it was best to feel the night out and to enjoy the food and drinks with the other guests. Both chose to only have one glass of wine to ensure they were fully alert through out the night.
"Well it looks like you can have that food you wanted earlier." Sydney pointed out.
"Nah, I'm not hungry no more." Vaughn said with a grin. Sydney once again blushed.
Sydney clung to Vaughn's arm as they walked around the hall mingling with the other guests, while drinking their champagne. Neither ate anything much, but they both had some small things.
"Would you like to dance?" Vaughn asked when they finally both escaped from conversations with some of the guests.
"I'd love to." Sydney answered enthusiastically.
They exchanged smiles and then Sydney took Vaughn's offered arm as he led her onto the dance floor. Vaughn wrapped one arm around Sydney's waist and his other clasped Sydney's hand and held it close to his chest.
Just then the music starts and it's the most perfect song for them, 'Simple Things'. Sydney smiles to Vaughn, "It's perfect." He listens to the lyrics attentively.
Hey, time won't wait Life goes by Every day is a brand new sky Every tear comes to dry All that really matters in this crazy world Is you and I together baby just remember The first leaves off the tree, the way you look at me A thousand chime, and church bells ring, the simple things are free The sun, the moon, the stars, the beating of two hearts How I love the simple thing, the simple things just are.
So, here we go let's just dance Teach my soul to take this chance Put my heart, in your hands Out of all the moments that we leave behind, turn around and tell me baby, we'll remember the thunder and the rain, the way you say my name After all the clocks go by the simple things remain The sun, the moon, the stars, the beating of two hearts How I love the simple things, the simple things just are.
"Yeah, it's absolutely perfect, just like you." Vaughn agrees before attentively moving closer to Sydney. She rests her head on his shoulder as they both return to listening to the calming lyrics of the song, which so well described their relationship so far.
The ocean and the sky The way we feel tonight I know it's the love that brings the simple things to life The sun, the moon, the stars, the beating of two hearts How I love the simple things, the simple things just are.
I love the way the simple things, the simple things just are.
Unfortunately, the song eventually ended, as do all good things in life. Sydney and Vaughn stayed together for a few extra moments, and shared a kiss and hug before finding their way off the dance floor and back to their seats.
It was late and guests were beginning to depart. It was mission time. "Ready?" Vaughn asked.
"Ready as ever." Sydney answered enthusiastically.
They said goodbye to the few guests they had been chatting with. Across the room was the action items and the seller. They walked over together and waited our turn in line. When they reached the man he had a pad of papers and a pen along with a money case. "May I help you?" the man asked.
"Yes we won item #47 the Monet picture." Vaughn pointed out the item that was leaning up against the stage.
"Oh yes, Clarkson. Right this way." He led them over to the art piece. "This is yours, no?"
Sydney examined the frame to make sure it had the markings, "Yes." She answered after examining it. "Good." He approved.
"Now for payment, cash or credit?"
"Check's okay?" Vaughn asked pulling out his wallet. It better be too, because that's all we had.
"Yes of course, with a valid id." The man said as Vaughn pulled out a blank check and id. "The total is 10,500 dollars." Vaughn's eyes grew wide at the unexpected price, Sydney looked skeptical also, "$10,500?"
"The extra $500 is for the shipping and moving costs of course." The man said as if it was an obvious thing. Sure it may have been if you've bought stuff at auctions before but it wasn't to her. This normally wouldn't have mattered, but the CIA only gave them $10,000.
"Well we'll be taking it out of here in our car since we don't live around here. We're just on vacation."
"No matter, you still must pay for the service of carrying it to your car and wrapping it." Okay since when is someone's labor of carrying an object less than a block, and wrapping a frame worth $500? Never.
"Excuse me sir, but we don't need those services. Our bid was $10,000 so that's what we are prepared to pay." Sydney says taking a daring step closer to him, in a sort of threatening way to show she had the upper hand, or at least was trying to get it.
"Well I suppose we could work something out. I've been looking for a date."
"I'm married." She points out showing him her fake ring, although she wished it were real, "besides I'm leaving town tonight."
He frowned, but then got his smile back. He leaned in close to her ear, "How about a night?" Vaughn heard this and stepped forward with a stern look on his face. Sydney couldn't help but smile at his protectiveness. She stepped back beside Vaughn and held his arm, "I don't sleep around." She said adamantly.
"Well what's there left?" The seller said with a shrug. Syd stepped up close to him and kissed him a peck on the lips, pulling away before he could respond back. When she turned back to Vaughn she could see his unhappy/jealous look.
The man lit up briefly, "$10,000." Sydney smiled triumphantly.
Vaughn wrote out the check and handed it with his id to the man. The man checked the id, then handed it back. Next he turned around to a computer. Sydney saw him type in the account number. When the account balance showed up and was enough to cover the check the man folded the check and put it away. "You're all set."
Sydney and Vaughn smiled, "thanks." Then they went over and grabbed the framed picture. Both taking an end they managed to carefully carry it outside to their limo. "Mission Accomplished", Sydney whispered to Vaughn once they were sitting in their limo driving away from the party.
**The Simple Things-Rebecca Lynn Howard ***Okay I know, it's been forever, don't kill me. I'm so busy with being on two softball teams and having multiple games/practices each day, not to mentioning my job and school. I promise I'll try to update once a week but I don't know how'll work. Anyway let me know if you liked this chapter. I've already got a head start on the next chapter, since I had school vacation this past week. Read/Review, thanks! (
