Chapter Thirteen...
In the cab ride, Sydney kept begging Vaughn to tell her where they were going.
"Vaughnnnnnnnnnn....come on! You know you want to tell me!" she whined giving him a puppy dog face.
He just laughed and kissed her on the cheek. The cab finally started to slow down and she frantically looked around to see where they were.
"Oh my g-d! Tattoria Di Nardi! Oh Vaughn, this is so great!" she said jumping out of the cab and practically running towards the restaurant dragging Vaughn.
They were seated immediately, obviously having made reservations ahead of time.
"This is so great Vaughn, thank you," Sydney smiled taking his hand across the table.
He looked up from his menu and just smiled back squeezing her hand slightly. The food was great, just as he said, and the time spent together was not wasted. What Sydney had not learned about Vaughn and his family and life before was found out tonight. It was around eleven when they finally finished dinner, and dancing. Vaughn went to the front to call a cab, but he came back looking a little worried.
"What is it Vaughn? What's wrong?" Sydney asked scared that something happened.
"Oh, no...it's just the rain...well no cabs are out, and the roads are too dangerous to drive on. There is an inn near by, the owner suggests we stay there, not safe enough to get home, plus...just too far," he said waiting for her reaction. To his surprise, she smiled.
"So we...we get to stay at the inn all night?" she asked almost giddily.
"I guess so...since it's not safe to return home," he said smiling as well.
"Well, I suggest we go then, before it gets worse," she said taking his arm and dragging him out the door.
They reached the inn and Vaughn quickly got a room for the night. They made their way to their room and entered. Before Vaughn could even look at the room, Syd was on him. She kissed him more passionately than he could have ever imagined. He returned it instantly and she started to remove his jacket. He pulled back and looked into her eyes.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"I've never been more sure about anything in my entire life," she said taking his cheek in her hand, tracing small circles. He took her hand and kissed it, pulling her then to him. (The rest you can make up in your own mind)

They woke up the next morning with the sunlight hitting the room. Sydney tried to turn towards the window, but Vaughn's arms around her prevented her from turning. She didn't mind though. He felt her move in his arms and let her know he was awake as well.
"How'd you sleep?" he asked kissing the top of her head.
"Better than I ever have before," she said turning in his arms to face him, planting a kiss on his lips.
"We should call your father, he is probably worried."
"Yeah, I guess so. I guess I'll tell him the truth," she said smiling.
"Wait...Syd...no, he'd kill me-" but Sydney cut him off.
"I was kidding Vaughn. I'll just tell him we got stuck in the rain and had to stay overnight here."
"Okay, as long as you don't mention details, I'm good," he said laughing, but she could tell he was truly scared of Jack Bristow's wrath.
"Don't worry Vaughn, you're a keeper, and if he can't understand that I want to be with you, then he can-" but he cut her off by kissing her.
"Well, I forgot what I was going to say...oh right, have to call Dad," she said clearly in a daze from the kiss. He just laughed. She made her way over to the phone on the night stand and dialed the house number.
"Hello?" Weiss answered.
"Hey Eric, is my dad there?"
"Syd! How have you been!? Get any action last ni-" but then Sydney could hear the phone being switched from Weiss to someone else.
"Sydney...sorry about Eric," Francie said playfully hitting Weiss in the stomach.
"Hey Francie, can I talk to my dad please?"
"Sure, hang on...oh and you must tell me later all about-"
"Of course Francie! Just get my dad...I know he must be worried," Sydney said cutting her friend off, but Francie knew she would tell her later.
"Sure, hang on," Francie said and went in search of Jack, who happened to walk in the kitchen right then.
"Is that Sydney?" Jack asked Francie and Weiss.
"Yeah, she wants to talk to you," Francie answered, hoping Jack wasn't mad.
"Sydney?" Jack said as he answered the phone.
"Hi Dad...how are you?" Sydney said, a little unsure of how angry her father was, his tone was always the same.
"I'm fine, the question is how are you and Mr. Vaughn?" Jack said grumbling a little.
"Dad....." Sydney said dragging out the 'a' sound.
"It's alright Sydney, I'm not angry. I knew that if you were in any danger, you would have contacted me. I was able to put two and two together. I knew that the flood was bad enough that there were no cars on the roads."
"So you're really not mad...okay, I can relieve Vaughn now," she said laughing and pulling Vaughn to her and giving him a quick peck on the lips.
"I heard that," Jack grumbled again.
"Heard what Dad?" Sydney said laughing.
"Well, when will you be back?" Jack asked, clearly annoyed at this conversation.
"Around lunchtime I guess," Sydney said smiling at Vaughn who heard this and got a very big smile on his face as well.
"Alright, I'll see you then, goodbye," Jack said and hung up the phone.
Sydney moved the phone from her ear and looked at it. "Well, there's the old Jack Bristow we all know and love."
"So lunchtime eh?" Vaughn said pulling her to him again. (you can make up what happens until then)
