Chapter 2: The Test
I turn on the tub faucet to let steaming water start to fill the bathtub. I hear a noise coming from my room. I make it out as being music, I had totally forgotten about my radio being on. I am starting to get a headache from the music though so I walk over and turn it off before I get into the tub.
Anxious to relax in the warm tub, I quickly rip my sticky clothes off and throw them onto the ground in a pile. I step one foot into the tub and then I slide down into the tub. I lay back, resting up against the back of the tub.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath in and out, tranquilly. I gently splash some of the warm water over my body. I start to think about the previous day. It was amazing; I guess sometimes I just have to take things into my own hands like I did then. My thoughts drift to my conversation with Francie and then to my long night ahead and what it would bring to me and Vaughn's relationship.
I was getting nervous, but the excited type. I guess you could say it's more anxious than nervous. I couldn't wait to spend more time with Vaughn. Every second of my day is better spent with him.
It's funny because when I was a little girl I wasn't like the other girls needing a prince to ride up on a white horse and sweep them off their feet. I was more of a tomboy to be honest. I never felt like I needed a guy to get me places, I was going to go places myself. It's easier that way, to only rely on oneself. My views have changed a bit since then though, I still know I don't need a guy but I have to admit sometimes it's great to have a guy anyway.
It's just so amazing, how I feel around him. I feel like a teenager again. You know, when every guy you see looks hot; the hormonal years.
Suddenly I hear the phone ring from the other room. I'm startled and I jump a little. That's when I realize the time on one of the clocks. I've been in the tub for almost an hour. I notice wrinkles spread over my body. I grab a towel from the rack beside the tub. As I rap the towel around my body I hear Francie yell from the other room, "Hey Syd it's for you; it's lover boy."
I roll my eyes and walked into my bedroom to grab the phone. As I press 'talk' on it I yell to Francie, "I got it." I hear through the phone the click of her hanging up.
"Hey lover boy." I greet Vaughn happily.
"I like the ring that has. Hey to you too beautiful." Vaughn seems so cheerful that I can almost picture the smile that must be played across his face. "I just wanted to make sure you got inside your house alright."
"No worries, I did. What if I didn't though Vaughn, you kind of waited a while to call." I tease.
"I figured you got in, and to be honest I really don't care if you got in because if you didn't all the better for me. I wouldn't mind a roommate for another night."
"Oh thanks!" I mock at his lack of caring, "I liked it there too though. Actually I liked it so much I was hoping I could possibly stay another night." I say hopefully, yet I already knew the answer. As I wait for his answer I lay down on my bed, letting my wet hair sprawl across my pillow and my damp towel wrapped around my body wet the bed sheets.
"Syd you're always welcome here." He says honestly and caringly. Then on a lighter note he adds, "Though I think my guest bedroom is pretty full of boxes and junk, we might just have to share my bedroom again."
I smile and let out a cute, little chuckle. "Sounds like fun!"
"What is fun about sharing a bedroom?" He asks mischievously. "Well I guess I was thinking about sharing the bed, and what we could do in it." I answer seductively.
We both laugh. We settle down into a comfortable silence before Vaughn speaks up again. "No really Syd, the reason I called was just to simply hear your voice. I miss you."
I can't help but smile, he's so sweet and adoring. "I miss you too. Tonight just doesn't seem soon enough. I know I just saw you but these past hours have been trudging on. I can't wait till tonight!"
"I'm glad you're as excited as I am!" Vaughn says enthusiastically. "It's only pizza and an old movie though." He says disappointed.
"Vaughn don't be silly it's not what we do that I care about, it's the company." I say sincerely.
"You sure you don't care about the activity?" Vaughn asks seductively.
I chuckle, "Wow Vaughn you are lonely and desperate, aren't you?"
"I'm insulted by that!" He says mockingly.
"As if. So Vaughn what would you say if I told you that I already had plans for tonight?" I ask, testing the water. It stays silent for a moment and I get scared of his response.
My wondering thoughts are interrupted when he answers, "That's not acceptable, it just simply isn't." He states matter-of-factly. I laugh a little more, "Vaughn what do you mean by that? I can't have more important plans?"
"I'd find time to see you. I'd change my life around just to spend one minute with you, just to hear your sweet voice once, just to watch you for a single moment." Wow now I'm totally swept off my feet with his words.
"Thank you! I'm glad you feel that way. For the record too Vaughn, I feel the same." We both stay a little quiet for a few moments just taking this all in. So it wasn't an exchange of 'I love you' but it was too early for that, this was just right.
"Hey I was thinking Syd, I know I wasn't supposed to pick you up until later, but I was thinking since both of us are so miserable without each other.we could maybe get together earlier. That is, if you don't have more important things to do." Vaughn jokes.
"Vaughn you know I was joking about that. No one and no thing is more important to me than you. I'm sorry to break your heart too, but you can't come over early. I'm not ready."
"Ready? Come on Syd throw on a shirt and sweats and we can go. It's just my place. Besides who knows how long you'll be wearing the clothes anyway." Vaughn rationalizes.
"Is sex all guys think about? Gees. Anyway, Vaughn I just got out of the shower, I'm still in my towel."
He breaks in, "I don't see a problem with that."
The smile that had never left my face grew a bit wider with that comment, "Mr. Vaughn," I address formally, "if I didn't know any better I'd say you were just trying to get me in bed."
"Oh and where would you get that idea Ms. Bristow?" He plays along innocently.
I continue with my previous thought before, as if I didn't hear him, "Anyway, I think it'll take me a little bit longer than the 5 minutes it'll take you to get here, for me to get ready. No, in fact I know it will."
"Well I guess this is a test then, because I'm coming over there right now and you can't stop me." Vaughn answers playfully.
"Vaughn I'm not kidding," I warn, "I look like crap. You can't come over yet!"
"This is no discussion Bristow. I'll be there in 5-10min." Vaughn says in all seriousness.
"Vaughn!"
"Bye Syd, see you soon!" Vaughn says a bit to happily as he hangs the phone up.
I just stare at the phone for a minute before it all registers; he's going to be here any minute! "Francie, Help!" I yell out as I scramble up from the bed and run over to the closet. I throw my towel off and pull on a pair of panties and a matching bra. I throw a robe over myself and then start throwing clothes all over the room.
Francie opens my bedroom door and pokes her head in, "What Syd?" I turn to face her and I hold up two dresses to show her, "Red or Black?"
"Neither." She answers after looking them over. I quickly discard those on the floor and stick my head back into my closet. "Syd, what's this about? You're acting like a crazy woman!" She points out to me as she comes into my room and shuts the door behind her.
"Francie, there's no time to explain, but Vaughn is going to be here any minute and I need an outfit to wear!" I see her eyes grow big and a smile spread across her face. "Well what are you waiting for? We need to find something hot and sexy for lover boy!" She says enthusiastically as she runs over to my side and starts to help me dig through my clothes for a suitable outfit. I roll my eyes and shake my head at her. This is going to be one hell of a test; to turn beautiful in 5 minutes.
