"Syd I am back!!"Gage opened the door and looked around the living room.

"I am in here!"Syd called from the kitchen.

"What are you doing?"

"Well I was going to cook but I just noticed we have no food"

"we do now"Gage said handing Syd two bags of food.

"OH goodie lets see what we got"

"Ok I am not sure I did good shopping"

"lets see cake,pizza,chips ....Gage did you get any health food?"

"um.....chips are potatoes"

"Gage we need healthy food too"

"Alright tomorrow you and I will go to the store an you can pick out food"

"What about tonight?what do we eat?"

"Pizza"

Syd smiled"You are just so childish"

"I know"

"Sometimes I have no idea why I keep you around"

"because I am cute"

"Oh yes thats right"Syd laughed.

Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Ok Gage company remember you are deaf"

Gage nodded.

"Hi"Syd answered the door.

"Hello I am mrs Jenkins and this is my husband"

"I am mrs Adams"Syd said with a smile.

"This is my husband Gage...er..uh Chuck"

Gage loocked at Syd.Chuck Adams? who was she?

"I am Faith"Syd continued.

"I am Allissa"

"And I am Joe"

"Its nice to meet you"

"nice to meet you your husband is awful quiet"

"he is deaf"

"Oh I am sorry"

"me too"Syd sighed looking at Gage and rolling her eyes.

"Are you newly weds?"

"yes"

"we have been married six years"

"Oh wow"

"We have been married um..."Syd looked at Gage.

"two weeks"Gage accidently finished for Syd.

Syd spun around and glared wildly at Gage.

"he reads lips sometimes"Syd covered quickly.

"Oh how nice"Allissa said.

"SO how did you two meet?"Allissa asked Gage.

"we uh...um....I....And..She....uh"Gage tried to reply.

"his uuh...cousin's best friend's brother's girlfriend's sister got us together"Syd said with a smile.

"How complicated"Joe said.

"Yeah I know"Syd laughed.

Gage glanced at Syd.

"Well we are going to go now"Allissa said.

"Bye'Syd shut the door.

"Next time tell the people we work together"Gage said.

"Why?"

"That was complicated"

"Sorry"

"Syd we need to have a real adult discussion"

"what about?"

"us"

Syd quickly spun around"what about us?!"

"Well Syd we have seemed to grown apart and we never talk anymore"

"So?"

"Syd that is it!!!"

"what?"

"THIS I HEARD YOU WHEN YOU WERE IN MY ROOM AND I AM SICK OF TRYING TO CONVINCE MYSELF I HEARD NOTHING!!"

"Gage...... I can....I can explain you see I.......um"

Gage stepped closer to Syd and put his hand on her lips.

"I know what you mean"Gage said softly.

"I am not so sure you do"

"I am sure I do because I love you too"

"Gage wait a second I never mentioned love......"

Syd was cut short when Gage kissed her.

Sydney was taken by surprise and at first she started to struggle but after a while she relaxed and slowly started to kiss him back.

Gage pulled slowly away from Syd and leaned his chin against her forehead.

"I love you"

Gage waited for Syd to say she loved him too but she was silent.

"No"

"No what?"

"we can not be like this"

"like what?we love each other"

"no I am sorry Gage I love you as a friend but nothing more"Syd said quietly.

"But Syd....."

"please let go of me"Syd said trying not to cry.

Gage did not move for a while then he slowly left go of Syd who the instant she could slipped upstairs.

The minute Syd was upstairs she closed the door and fell on her bed crying.
