Author's Note: Enjoy and read and review!

I woke up around seven much to my displeasure…that was way too early. Not wanting to get up I remained in bed staring at the ceiling, and against my better judgment, I started to think.

I loved Vaughn that was obvious. I always had, and knew that I probably always would. And I knew he loved me. I knew a part of him had always loved me, even when he was with Lauren.

Yet, I still wasn't sure about our relationship. I didn't want to take things too slow, because I did want him. But then again, I didn't want things to move too quickly either. His divorce wasn't finalized, he and Lauren hadn't signed any papers yet. And I worried that taking things too fast would do more harm than good. This wasn't a situation that warranted rushing into anything.

I sighed. It should be easy. We love each other and care about each other. I guess I just didn't want to screw this up. I wanted everything to be perfect. I wanted our love to last forever.

I just didn't know how to tell Vaughn. After last night I'm sure he thought that I was ready to rush into a relationship with him. And part of me was, but another part of me was holding back. I didn't want to hurt Vaughn by telling him my fears, but then again by not telling him I'd probably be hurting him more.

I looked at the clock and saw that it was nearing eight. I needed to talk to Vaughn now, so I called his cell. He picked up on the third ring.

"Vaughn," he answered groggily.

"Hey."

"Syd?"

"Yeah, it's me."

"Is everything ok?" he asked and I could hear the concern in his voice.

"Everything's fine. I was just hoping that we could talk."

"Umm…sure. Does lunch sound good?"

"Actually I was hoping we could get together now."

There was a pause. "Uh, yeah, sure. Give me thirty minutes."

"I'll see you then."

And with that we hung up.

I stumbled into the kitchen to grab coffee before I even began to analyze what Syd's phone call meant.

"We need to set up a rule," Weiss greeted me grumpily.

"Huh?"

"Your phone man. Geez, could you turn it on vibrate or at least turn it down while we're supposed to be sleeping. I swear, that thing went off and the whole apartment shook."

"It's not that loud."

"It woke me up! And I sleep like a horse," he paused for a second, "That is if horses sleep heavy."

"Sorry. I'll turn the ringer down."

"Good. Who was calling you so early anyways?"

"Syd."

"Why?"

I sighed. "I'm not sure."

Weiss studied me. "I thought everything went well last night. You were like glowing. And I've never seen a man glow before."

"I thought the same thing. I thought she had gotten everything out and we were going to be able to move forward with our relationship."

"You don't think she's having second thoughts, do you?"

I thought for a split second and then answered honestly. "No. I really don't. I just think that it's going to be a longer road than either of us really realized or wanted to believe."

I looked at the clock. "I need head over there in about ten minutes, I better put some clothes on."

"Nah," Weiss joked. "Just show up like that and all her doubts will fly out the window."

I rolled my eyes, and headed back to my room.

I paced nervously around my apartment. I had no idea what I was going to say to Vaughn. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt him.

I jumped at the knock at my door. I walked over, took a deep breath and opened it.
