Hey guys. Sorry I've updated so late. I've had SATs, midterms, and a whole bunch of other crap. I hope you'll enjoy this chapter. I think it sucks. But whatever.

Unexpected Arrival
After all these years, it took me this far to realize that I do love Sark. He has been my equal in everything. And I have missed that. Go out there and tell him Syd.
She finishes dressing, and is pretty satisfied with what she picked to wear. She steps out of her room and into the living room, she looks up to see Sark's mouth hanging down almost touching the ground.
"Um…," realizing he is gaping at her with a little drool beginning to spill out of his mouth. He quickly shuts it, and just stares at her. She is wearing a simple, yet elegant, black form fitting dress. Her hair was down and just lightly brushing her bare shoulders. Had black dangling earrings and a necklace to match. In other words, she was beautiful.
Still staring at her, he caught himself, "You look stunning."
"Why thank you. I hope it isn't too fancy?" As she noticed that he cleaned himself up a bit. He was handsome as always in his black Armani suit. It's amazing what a simple suit can do to a man's whole look. "You're looking quite handsome yourself."
"Thank you. You aren't too fancy, if you are so what all the attention will be on you. Which you very much deserve looking like that. Shall we go?" Escorting her out the door first. He opened the passenger side door to his black, Mercedes. He closed the door behind Sydney, and walked to the other side and began to drive.
"So…where are we going?" Sydney asked.
"We are going to enjoy a very nice dinner at, Arirang, it's downtown. It's Korean food. I thought that you'd like to try something different. I've always enjoyed Korean food. It can be very spicy and I like that," he said with a slight smile.
"Oh, I've never had Korean before. Is it like Japanese?" she questioned noticing the little smile he had on.
"Well, you'll just have to find out and see, or rather taste," he chuckled.
She saw his eyes spark into a deeper blue, then flash back to the cold sapphire eyes she had always known. She reached down to grasp his hand that was resting on the gearshift. She felt him go rigid underneath her. She looked up and saw no change in his appearance.
Damn it, why did I do that? I want to tell Syd that I love her, but how can I after all that I have done. I'm surprised that she hasn't killed me already. Why hasn't she? Maybe she's planning something…no. It's not that. There's something in her eyes that shows compassion towards me now. What does this mean? She seems so understanding now. Just tell her already…what is your problem Sark? I can't she'll never love me. How can she love me? Take a risk. The worst that can happen is nothing. You've lived with this long enough, you'd learn to move on. Just go for it. Oy vey, I'm being lectured by my own conscience. I'll do it, I'll tell her I love her. You know what, I better do it tonight before I change my mind for good. Yes, tonight.
"Well, we're here," as they pull up in front of the restaurant. He was trying to keep a suave aura around him, hopefully it was working.
"Wow, I never knew that Koreans had big restaurants like this one," her mouth dropped in astonishment.
Sark laughed at her. She noticed, and saw his eyes sparkle underneath the moonlight. He lead her through the door, that alone must have cost thousands of dollars.
"Good evening sir," the host said to Sark in a slight Korean accent, "Do you have a reservation for tonight?"
"Yes, under Gabriel Andrews. For two, please." he said.
"Right this way sir," directing them through the crowd of people already in the restaurant. He seated them at a window table on the third floor, with a beautiful view of the city, "Here you go, I hope you like this table. Enjoy your meal here at Arirang. If need anything please feel free to ask for me. Again, enjoy," he said with one of those fake smiles that meant he'd rather be anywhere but here.
"Thank you." As Sark sat across from Syd at the very chic restaurant.
"So, what shall we order? You can have anything you want Sydney," looking at his menu.
"Wow, this place is really expensive, are you sure?" with a look of shock on her face looking at the prices.
"Don't worry love, I am more than capable of handling the check. Just feel free to order whatever you heart desires," hoping she noticed the real meaning behind what he just said. For he would love her to have him.
"Let's see, how does Bul…go…gi sound?" Syd said butchering the word.
"Hahaha, you have good taste. That's beef marinated in soy sauce. A popular Korean dish. That'll be sort of the main dish, but you should definitely have the noodles here. I recommend Chajang Myun," Sark said saying it perfectly.
"What's that?"
"It's noodles with this brown sauce that has carrots, potatoes, and other vegetables. Very good, I think you'll like it. And what would you like to drink? I don't know if you'll like this, but you'll have to try it. Soju. It's rice wine. Pretty good."
"Sure, I'll try it."
"Um…waiter," raising his hand for the waiter, "Can you please bring us a bottle of Soju?"
"Yes, right away."
"Thank you."
"So, Sydney, I'm surprised that you haven't killed me already? I mean, I did steal your eggs and implemented Milo Rambaldi's prophecy. Shouldn't I be dead? You have always hated me." Sark cocked his head to the side.
Syd POV
Crap, what do I say to that? I did hate him, until now. Yeah, I should have killed him, but I love him. I can't do that. Tell him the truth Syd.
"Um…well…Sark, I have something to say…I lo---"
All of a sudden there is a terrible ruckus in the restaurant. Sydney and Sark look up to see people running everywhere, and in panic. Then they see the least expected person running towards them with a gun.
