Chapter 3
Sydney and Michael both woke up to a stream of sunlight creeping out from underneath the blinds.
"Morning," said Mike, kissing the top of Sydney's head.
"Mmm, good morning," she replied, turning over onto her stomach so that she was facing him.
"Have a good sleep?" he asked, his eyes closing again.
"I did but by the looks of things you didn't?" she asked looking worried, he gave her a reassuring smile.
"I did actually, I just wanted to stay here with you a little longer, I get the best sleep when I'm with you," he tightened his arms around her.
"Likewise," she replied and rested her head against his shoulder.
"So what do you wanna do today?" he asked.
"Well I have an idea but your not gonna like it." she warned him. He moaned,
"Syd.you know I hate shopping!"
"Please baby?" she asked as she started to plant small kisses along his jaw line.
"Ohhhh, ok," he replied giving in, "but only if you watch tonight's hockey game on TV with me, the Kings are playing,"
"Deal," she replied, sealing it with a kiss. "I'm gonna go have a shower," she said climbing over Michael and off of the bed, "Shops are already open!" she declared over her shoulder.
"Yeh, yeh," he muttered, slowly getting out of bed.
Once they had both showered, dressed and had breakfast they walked out of the house and into their car with Michael driving. When they finally arrived Sydney started to pull her boyfriend along to every shop she wanted to look at. When they walked into Bras and Things Mike grinned,
"I like this shop," he told Syd, she just laughed and squeezed his hand, which was clasped in hers.
"Don't get too excited, I'm only looking for a pair of pyjamas." At that Michael feigned disappointment and Sydney laughed once more. After looking at a few more shops they stopped for lunch at a small restaurant.
Once they finished eating Sydney was prepared to hit the shops again!
"How much longer?" Mike asked as Sydney pulled him along with her.
"One more shop, then I promise we'll leave," she replied, happy that her boyfriend who absolutely hated shopping had lasted this long. From the last shop Sydney brought a pair of dark blue jeans and a black tank top.
"Ok, lets go," Syd said. Michael put his arm around her waist and she put hers around his as they walked back to the car.
"So when's your CIA trip?" Sydney asked in the car on the way home.
"Next Wednesday," he replied, she just nodded as he pulled up to the house. He turned off the ignition and got out of the car and walked up to the front door with Sydney in the lead. When they got inside Sydney flopped on to the couch, lying down. Mike went over to her and she sat up, allowing him to sit down and then went back to her position with her head resting in his lap. He put one arm across her stomach and started to stroke her hair with his other hand while Sydney started to trace patterns along his arm with her fingers.
"So how long will you be gone?" she asked.
"I should get back on Saturday if everything goes according to plan." He answered.
"That long?" she asked sadly,
"It's only 3 days," he replied with a small smile.
"Well, that's too long for me," Sydney said,
"I know," he said softly, "It is for me too."
Sydney sat up and rested her head on his shoulder and he put his arm across her shoulders. They sat there in a comfortable silence until Michael started to speak.
"Hey Syd?"
"Yeh," she replied,
"I know this is out of the blue but I've been thinking a lot lately, about us," he said.
She turned to look at him, "What about us?" she asked, clearly confused.
"Well.I was just wondering if you wanted to move in with me, I mean your always over here, as well as most of your stuff, and we'd be able to see each other more often."
All at once Sydney's face lit up and a grin spread across your face, "I think that's an excellent idea!" she said happily, "I'll go get the rest of my stuff over the next few days and then I can unpack everything while your gone, it'll give me something to do," she replied eagerly.
"So its final then, we're gonna live together," Michael said, also with a grin on his face.
"Yes we are," she replied and they kissed each other and waited until the hockey game started.
