Chapter 13: Drunk
"Will?"
"Yeah?"
"That Sh.Sarah, she looked really ha. 'appy didn't she?" Sydney asked referring to the wedding picture.
Sydney and Will were lying on top of the bed next to each other, staring at the ceiling. They had just gotten back from the reunion dinner and both were exhausted and Sydney was drunk.
"Yeah, she looked happy. You used to look like that with Dan. Man, could he make you laugh. I want to make you laugh like that."
"You make me laugh. Sh..see?" She starts laughing drunkenly.
"Do I? Ever since I found out what you do and who you are, I've been noticing things. Maybe I didn't want to see it, but I see now. I wanted to talk about it before but I kinda chickened out. I know you're drunk but I guess this is a good a time as any."
"Whadda ya talkin' about Willis? Hee hee, get it? Willis, hee hee."
"Since Dan's death, you've shut down. When Francie and I confronted you about it, you changed and went into 'happy Sydney mode' and we bought it. Now I know better. You're afraid."
"Af.afraid? I'm no' of afraid of anyshing!"
"You blame yourself for Dan's death and you think that if you're close to Francie and I then we're going to die too. We aren't going to die."
"Yew donno know that. Sh..Sark's always two sh..steps ahead of me. He knows where I live, he knows ho..how much you and Fran.Francie mean ta me. I ca.can't lose anosher per.person in my life. I jus' can't."
"So what is up with this Sark guy? What does he want?" He held her hand to comfort her.
"Dunno. That's why heesh so dan..dangerous."
"Do you think he has a thing for you?"
"Whaaa?!!"
"He calls you almost every other day."
"He ca..calls to play sh..sick min' games wishh me."
"He sends you gifts."
"The wine doesn' coun'. And he never send me anything else."
"It was a Chartruse! It was a whopper of a gift."
"If he likes me so mush...much why'd he call me Shh.Sarah when I kished 'im?"
"What? You kissed him?"
"In It.italy, I was tryin' to pl.plant a bug on 'im. He hash nice lipsh."
"Really?"
"I dun wanna ta..talk about Sh.Sark. I'd be cra.crazy to be remo..remote..ly att.attracted to 'em."
"You play with your hair whenever you talk about him."
"I dunna'! Leesh talk about some'in elsh.."
"How come you never told me about you and Vaughn."
"There's no me an Va...vaughn. 'E 'ha..hates me. Woodn' let me ex.expl..explain."
"Sydney, there was definite electricity between the two of you. Feel my hair, it's still standing straight up." He grabs her hand and put on his head.
"Shop bein' a dork!" She pulls her hand away and punches him in the shoulder
"Ow! Did you just call me a dork?"
"Yesh, I did." They both laugh.
"God, I've never seen you so drunk. I didn't even see you drink that much."
They're conversation is interrupted by the ringing of Sydney's cell. Sydney, grabs for the phone and knocks it to the ground instead. She falls off the bed to find it. Will gets off the bed and finds it for her and hands it to her.
"Good guys or bad guys?"
"Dunno. 'ello?" She answers the phone.
"Meet me in the by indoor pool in 15 minutes. Don't make me wait." Sark hung up before Sydney could say anything.
"Well, 'ello to you too Mr. Shh..sark! I'm doin' wunderful, shanks fur askin'. 'ello? Ish anyone there?" Sydney gets up and starts weaving around the room.
"Where you going?" Asked Will.
"I'm off ta meet Mr. Ga...gorgeous."
"You can't go like this. You're drunk." He takes her arm before she bumps into something.
"I godda go! Heesh a bad man, dun' wanna ma..make 'im mad."
"Fine I'm going with you! Where do you keep your gun?"
"Didn' bring a g..gun."
"Damn it, do you know where I can get Vaughn?"
"No t..time. Lesh go!"
"Will?"
