"Got enough clothes there?" Vaughn asked taking the bags from Sydney and kissing her cheek. She turned though as he pulled back and pulled him to kiss her passionately. Weiss followed suit and had taken Francie's bags and he received a kiss on the cheek for this. The other two were still at it.
"Uhhh....do you two think you could get a room?" Weiss asked.
Sydney pulled back and said while still looking at Vaughn, "We have one...I just couldn't wait." Vaughn looked at her lovingly and took her hand as they went upstairs.
"Those two are definitely going to make it," Francie said smiling.
"And what about us? Ya think we will make it...cause I sure hope so," Weiss said but before Francie could answer he kissed her. They then followed Sydney and Vaughn's example and went upstairs.
Later that day Vaughn and Sydney were napping on his bed when he woke up and decided this would be the perfect time to sneak out and buy the certain ring he wanted for her. This ring was for one purpose and one purpose only. To marry her. That is what he wanted more than the entire world to do. And even if he thought it may be too early, he couldn't wait a minute longer. He had to marry her. She was all he ever wanted in a woman and all he could ever want. He considered asking Jack to go with him, taking Weiss' advice, but thought against it. He would not ask Jack's permission to marry his daughter, because he knew that Jack would do everything he could to try and persuade him to change his mind. That was just Jack's way. He could not just accept his proposal like anyone else. He would make it difficult for Vaughn, and that was too much to deal with. He would say it was too early and he should wait, but no, he wouldn't wait.
Sydney woke up from her nap and turned over to see Vaughn laying beside her. At least she thought he would be laying beside her when she woke up, but in fact he was gone. She was a little saddened by this, but quickly got over it when she saw his running shoes were gone. He must have gone for a run, she thought. He doesn't have to stay with me until I wake up, I'm not three years old. But in fact she was very upset he was not there. She did not enjoy not waking up next to him. She headed out of his room and went down to the living room to find Francie, Weiss, Will, and Jack watching television.
"Hey guys, how long ago did Vaughn leave?" Sydney asked while sitting down next to her father.
"Uhhh...I think he left about fifteen minutes ago, went for a run," Weiss said quickly, a little too quickly in fact.
"Yes...yes Weiss I picked that up already...but why would he just leave me without telling me or anything?" Sydney sighed.
"Awwww Syd...is that what you're all upset about? I'm sure he just didn't want to disturb you. He'll be back soon...don't worry," Weiss said laughing.
"I just wish he would have told me."
"I'm sure he has a good reason to why he didn't," Weiss said and Francie hit him in the stomach playfully for this. He quickly learned his mistake and changed the subject. "Sooo...uhhhhh...when do we get to go home Jackie boy?" As he said this Jack sent him a death glare and he quickly recovered. "Sorry...Jack...Agent Jack...Agent Bristow...sir."
"They wanted to keep us all here until they made sure it was safe for our return. There may be some out there who are still sore at us for aiding downfall of SD-6. I would say a few more days until they give us clearance to return."
"That's great Dad. Although...I have to say I do not mind Italy so much now that I know SD-6 is gone. It's almost as if it's a vacation," Sydney said, then sighed.
"What's up Syd?" Francie asked, able to read Sydney's sighs well.
"Well...can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure," and they made their way into the dining room.
"Okay Syd...spill," Francie said sitting at the table.
Chapter Fifteen...
"Well," Sydney said sitting next to her, "It's just...I miss Vaughn. I know he has really only been gone for like fifteen minutes, but the truth is I miss him already. Is that normal?"
"Honey..of course not...that's love," Francie said smiling.
"So...so it's not sad or anything...that I could miss him as much as I do already? You don't think it's too soon for that?"
"Of course not! You guys have been in love for g-d knows how long. Face it Syd, you don't have a normal relationship. You fell in love before you even kissed! That's got to say something."
"Thanks Fran...that means a lot," Sydney said hugging Francie.
"Hey hey hey...what is going on in here?" Weiss asked walking into the dining room on the two girls hugging.
"Nothing that concerns you...just a little girl chat," Francie said standing up and kissing Weiss on the cheek.
"So...uhh...is he back yet?" Sydney asked Weiss.
"Naw...must be in a good mood to still be out jogging."
"Well...maybe I'll go and join him. I can probably catch up to him as he is coming back," Sydney said getting up from her seat, only to be pushed down again by Francie and Weiss.
"No!" They both shouted at the same time. "What I meant to say was...will you help me make dinner for everyone?" Francie covered quickly. But Sydney being the spy, caught on to Francie's lie. She decided to play along and find out later what they were up to.
"Uhhh....do you two think you could get a room?" Weiss asked.
Sydney pulled back and said while still looking at Vaughn, "We have one...I just couldn't wait." Vaughn looked at her lovingly and took her hand as they went upstairs.
