Chapter Five

Sydney and Nigel woke up the next day in each others arms. Neither moved as it was Saturday and they were content to just holding each other. Around noon they both agreed that it was time to get up. They'd spent the morning in bed talking.

"What are we going to do for the rest of the day? Grade the pop quizzes?"Nigel asked Sydney as they looked for something in her kitchen to eat.

Sydney shook her head. "Later, what do you say we go out for lunch. I forgot to do grocery shopping."

Nigel agreed and they both left just as the phone rang. Neither heard it so they missed a very important phone call. Derek Lloyd had escaped from police custody. It took them roughly 15 minutes to reach James Café, but that was all the time Derek needed to hunt them down and collect the necessities for his next course of action.

As they ate Nigel and Sydney discussed their relationship. Although neither had much to say. They had both pretty much had discussed everything earlier. Nigel had something he had wanted to ask Sydney for a long time but he wasn't sure if he should so he took a chance.

"Syd."He said hesitantly, interrupting her, while moving up out of his seat.

Sydney stopped talking and watched him curiously, as he knelt beside her. "What are you doing, Nigel?"she asked getting nervous.

Nigel didn't answer but only smiled as he pulled out a s mall box and opened it. Sydney gasped as Nigel spoke. "Sydney Fox, Will you marry me?"When Nigel finished the entire Café seemed to go quiet as if waiting for her response.

Sydney starred at Nigel with tears rimming her eyes. When she finally found her voice she spoke slowly. "Yes, Nigel . I will marry you."

The café let out around of applause as the couple kissed. Nigel and Sydney were both happy ( Nigel relieved) and so caught up in talking about things that they never saw the eyes watching them. Had they, they would have realized the eminent danger approaching them.

Note: It's very short I know but it's really only a lead up the events in the next chapter. I'll update as fast as I can but I'm having a little problems with the next chapter. Anyway, Thanks to all those who reviewed.
