Chapter 3: The vacation part 3
Sydney and Vaughn decided to hire a car for the day so they could explore some last sights of Cyprus that were harder to reach by foot or bus. On arrival in Cyprus six days before they had picked up a tourist information booklet which had all the fun activities such as surfing, hand gliding jeep safaris etc. They wanted it to be a more relaxing vacation, one where they could laze by their private pool or sit and look at the sights from up high. After lots of negotiation between themselves Sydney and Vaughn had decided to spend their last day hiking this mountain that they had scene in a tourist information booklet. According to the booklet the mountain, in the Spring month was meant to be covered in a beautiful array of grasses and flowers. Upon the top the views over Cyprus and onto Turkey were renowned breathtaking. They had kitted themselves with the usually sensible walking gear, wearing layers in case it rained or got too hot. It was kind of like a training exercise in a way in the fact that they were going to be going quite a lot of physical things on the take down of SD-6. It had been about half an hour and they had been walking up a small path that lead to the top of the mountain. As Vaughn walked on, Sydney was becoming further and further away from him. He stopped to let her catch up.
"Can we stop a moment?" she asked him, looking hot and tired already.
"Sure" he said and they sat down on a large stone. "You feeling alright? We have been walking only about half an hour and already you look worn out. Do you want to go back?"
"No, I just need some water. I feel a little over heated" She smiled at him and began to open her bag to find a bottle of water. Once she had she uncapped it she gulped down the water, nearly choking on it.
"Whoa!, slow down Syd, I've got more in my bag." He look the bottle away from her and put it back in her bag. "Save some for later okay?" Sydney nodded back to him.
"Good to go on?" he asked her, giving her a hug.
She smiled and nodded and he helped her up and they made their way up the rest of the mountain. They managed to reach the top and after spending a while looking at the spectacular views, they sat down and embraced in each other's arms. Sydney laid back into Vaughn's chest as he blew cold air into the back of her neck and cooled her down.
"You know Syd, when you came striding into the office with your red wig on and your swollen lip I knew you were the one. The one I was to marry. You're such a beautiful woman."
Sydney's dimples came into show again and she smiled.
"Well when I saw you, it was around the death of Danny and I didn't want to think about starting a new relationship. Danny was all I could think of at that moment. But I knew there was something about you that I liked and that even though relationships with other employees were not allowed I knew that we'd be together one day, some how."
The two of them spend the whole next forty five minutes in each other's arms. Sydney and Vaughn were so happy right now.
