Chapter Six...
It was an hour later before Vaughn, Weiss, and Will were getting anxious. Weiss decided to take initiative and go find out what they were doing up there in Sydney's room. He didn't bother knocking and he just walked in. What he saw was all of Sydney's dresses, as well as some of Francie's it would seem all over her bed, and there was Francie, doing Sydney's hair by the mirror. "You guys still aren't ready? And what's with all the dresses here? Ohhhh...could this be a first real date for two CIA agents?"
"Yes Weiss, and if you don't shut up, I will make this the last dinner you ever have!" Sydney replied laughing. Still, he knew she could easily beat him up, so he decided to stop joking around.
"Don't worry Syd, he'll think you're the most beautiful woman in the world with a burlap sack on," Weiss said smiling.
"Thanks Weiss," she said and gave him a hug.
"Seriously though, a burlap sack, you should try it, really, that would be funny as-"
"Thank you Eric!," Francie yelled laughing and pushing him out of the room.
"Jeez, pushy pushy," he said feigning hurt, but couldn't keep it up and laughed. He made his way back down to Vaughn and Will and said, "Give them ten more minutes."
"Ten!?" Will yelled. "What are they doing in there?"
"Well...girls are like that...gotta look just right, especially when there's a special someone-" but Vaughn cut Weiss off once again.
"So Will...you like hockey?" Vaughn said changing the subject, but Will didn't seem to want to let it go.
"Do you love her?" Will asked.
"Excuse me?" Vaughn replied.
"You heard me...do you love her?" Will repeated, taking a step closer to Vaughn. It would be almost threatening if Will wasn't so scrawny. Vaughn seemed to be in deep thought. He knew he loved her, but should he tell Will this. He then decided since he was going to tell her soon, he might as well tell Will.
"More than anything," Vaughn said quietly, it was almost a whisper.
"We're ready!" Francie said walking into the living room. Sydney trailed behind her, and when Vaughn saw her, if possible his jaw would have hit the floor. She was wearing a deep red spaghetti strapped dress that cut diagonally on the bottom. It almost glittered in the light. Francie looked very nice herself, wearing a green dress that showed her figure. Weiss was staring at Francie, while Vaughn and Will stared at Sydney. She started to blush.
"Wow...Syd...you look great," Vaughn said quietly, almost as if he couldn't catch his breath.
"Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself," she replied and they each got redder as the seconds ticked by. Francie noticed this and too initiative.
"Well, I guess we should get going," she said looping her arm with Weiss's. He looked shocked at first, but then smiled and went with it. Will followed them out, and Vaughn walked over to Sydney and held his arm out. She took it smiling and they followed Francie, Weiss, and Will out the door.
Since downtown was not too far from the house, they decided to walk again. Francie had brought Will next to her, and the three of them walked quickly ahead of Sydney and Vaughn. Sydney knew exactly what Francie was doing. She was trying to give them some alone time. Alone time was something she was hoping they would have tonight.
"So Francie seems really nice," Vaughn said.
"Yeah, she's the best...want to know something Vaughn?" Sydney asked.
"Sure," he replied.
"Well...I really didn't realize how much I missed Francie and Will until they were here today. I know that sounds terrible of me, but I have just been so happy here with you...and Dad, I just...I don't know," she said sighing. She added the 'Dad' part to make it not sound like she was just happy being there with him, even though she was.
"Syd...I understand. I've been happy too here," he said smiling.
"Wait Vaughn, I've never asked you this, but why are you here? I mean why would they send you to the same location they sent my Dad and I? That doesn't sound like the CIA I know," she asked.
"Oh...well, they gave me a choice. They let me choose pretty much anywhere I wanted to go," he answered.
"Wait, you could have ended up on some great tropical island and you chose here? Why...Vaughn why would you choose here?" she asked and stopped walking.
He stopped as well and turned towards her. "I-I-I guess I just had to make sure you were safe. I couldn't just go somewhere and not know that you were okay."
She smiled at his comment. "Really?"
"Yeah Syd...I...," but he stopped talking and just gazed into her eyes. He seemed to be analyzing something. He made the mistake of letting his gaze fall to her lips, and he was done for. He started to lean towards her, and she licked her lips. He noticed this and smiled. But of course, the moment was ruined when Weiss yelled.
"What are you guys doing?" Weiss yelled back at them, wondering why they had stopped.
They both pulled back quickly. Each as red now as the other. Francie realized what Weiss just interrupted and silently cursed under her breath. They were about to kiss! Stupid Weiss...but still a very cute Weiss, she thought. She vowed they would kiss by the end of the night, whether they liked it or not, although she knew they wanted to.
