Author's Note: I hope you guys are liking it…let me know what you think!
"Hey Syd," Vaughn said as he looked nervous.
I looked at him for a moment and every fear, every doubt was swept away. In his eyes I saw only love.
I took him in my arms and kissed him hard on the lips.
After a minute Vaughn pulled away stunned. "I thought you had some bad news."
"I thought so too."
He looked at me.
"Vaughn I really was worried about taking things too fast and rushing this, when your divorce hasn't even been finalized. But seeing you here, I know I love you. And I don't want to waste another moment of my life without you in it."
He smiled. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"
"I know. And I'm not just saying this because I'm chickening out. I know we have a long road ahead of us. And it may not be easy, but I'm willing to give it a shot and work hard to make it work. But why dwell on all the things that can go wrong, or all the reasons why we should take it slow?"
"I couldn't agree more."
We stood their smiling, when Vaughn broke the silence. "I wrote you something, since it's kinda a tradition now."
I grinned, "What does it say?"
He handed it to me.
-Thank you.-
I looked at him puzzled. "What does that mean?"
"It means everything."
I leaned in and kissed him again.
He broke away and cleared his throat. "You have no idea how worried I was."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"You had to know that I wasn't going to put an end to it though."
"I knew that. I just wasn't sure what you wanted."
"I want you," I said honestly.
"What were you going to say though?"
I thought for a minute. "I guess the fact that I was just worried. We haven't been a couple for so long, and honestly I was worried about moving too fast and it being overwhelming. And I was afraid that we'd rush into it just because we haven't been together and by rushing we'd ruin it."
Vaughn gave this some thought. "Syd, I would never do anything to ruin this. You mean more to me than anything," he paused, "And I don't think we should rush, we should savor every moment."
I smiled. "We should."
Vaughn grinned. "Definitely."
"Well how do you suppose we start this?"
"I was thinking about dinner tonight, around 7."
"Dinner sounds great."
He smiled. "Pick you up around 6:30."
I smiled back. "I can't wait."
"I've got to go take care of some things, but I'll see you later."
I nodded, and he gave me a hug and a gentle kiss on the lips.
"I love you."
I looked up at him, "And I love you."
