Thank you for all the reviews :)

And Total Vaughn Lover, to answer your question, I know it's a little odd that Vaughn knows a lot about baseball, but it's because of where the story starts. I wanted to start it in April so I could have Spring Break play into the storyline. Since baseball season is in April and it's my favorite sport, I had to add it in, haha. Since it's spring time, I just thought it would sound weird if they were going to a hockey game. If my story makes it to winter time, then for sure there will be some hockey. :) Hope that helps.

Chapter 5.

I just kissed Vaughn. Omg, I JUST KISSED VAUGHN! I should be happy. I am happy. His lips were so soft and he kinda tasted like the root beer he was drinking. I should say something. I can't say something. He only did it because we were forced into the situation. Oh no… He's speaking to me.

"Syd? C'mon. It wasn't that bad, was it? You look a little flushed." He said as he nudged me with his elbow.

"No! It wasn't bad at all. You know, it's just because it was in front of everyone. 40,000 people watching you was a little overwhelming." It was true, having tons of people staring at you while you kiss the man of your dreams didn't help the already messed up situation.

"Oh ok. I just didn't want you to feel weird."

"Weird? No, of course not. It's never been weird between us. We're best friends." Yeah right, this was by far the weirdest situation we've ever been put it.

"Yeah, you're right." Vaughn tussled my hair a little bit and then turned back to watch the game.

Tussling my hair isn't the exact way to show he had the same feelings for me. It was one of those things you do to your little sisters. Really, why would Vaughn feel the same way I do? He's absolutely gorgeous. He could have any girl he wanted. Even those Victoria Secret Models who parade around in the underwear during commercials. Eww, can I please hit them? One of them could be Vaughn's future girlfriend. No one really looks like that.

He did brush off our kiss like it was no big deal, probably because it wasn't a big deal to him. It was a big deal to me. That's because I'm completely crazy about him. I just never realized it until now. Maybe if he had a girlfriend during high school I would've went into a jealous rage and realized that he's the one I want. I did go into a jealous rage after I noticed Lauren Reed staring at him.

The rest of the game seemed dull to me. There were too many thoughts running through my head. It sure looked like Vaughn and the rest of the crowd were having fun since the game looked exciting. But I just wanted to go home.

As we were walking out of the stadium the crowds once again were being unkind to me. Some lady even grabbed my hair on accident.

"Why are you so quiet?" Vaughn asked as were slowly milling through the crowds towards the exit. We weren't getting very far.

"Nothing. I just don't like big crowds, that's all." I put my head down and continued to walk.

"Cheer up Sydney…" Vaughn sang to me just like Charlie's mom sang to him in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was one of our all time favorite movies. I let out a small laugh as I tried to hide my smile. He always sang that to me when I was down.

"That's it. I see that famous Sydney Bristow smile coming out. C'mon, lets get out of here."

All of a sudden Vaughn grabbed my hand and our fingers laced together. I just thought it was his attempt on trying not to loose me as we walked with masses of people. But he didn't let go. He didn't let go all the way till we got to the car and that was a 15 minute walk. Holding his hand felt so right. I never wanted to let go of him again.

Vaughn's POV

As we were slowly walking to the exit I saw Syd look a little down. I thought we were having such a great time during the game. She kept asking me all of these questions about baseball and it was so cute how hard she was trying to understand. I love it when girls show an interest in sports. It's so sexy.

I asked her why she was being quiet and she said she hates big crowds. That would explain why she grabbed on to me while we were first entering the gates. I felt her hands grab my waist as more people pushed into us. Her body was pressed up next to mine and if she wasn't pushing me forward, I don't think I would've been able to concentrate on walking.

I sang her that stupid song from Charlie in the Chocolate Factory to cheer her up. I knew it would make her laugh since every time I sang it to her it evoked a smile from her face.

Out of nowhere I grabbed her hand. Just like it was meant to be our fingers weaved together and our hands fit perfectly. I did half because I wanted to and half because there were so many damn people around us that I didn't want to lose her.

Even after we exited and there weren't crowds around us, she never let go of my hand. If she was ok with it then I wasn't going to be the one pulling back. I held on to her hand and didn't want to let go.

None of us said anything while we were walking. But, nothing needed to be said. It was then that I realized this is where I want to be. I know everything will be alright if I have her by my side. Syd had my heart from the beginning and it was times like these that make me fall in love with her even more.

Syd's POV

As soon as we got into the car Vaughn put on Coldplay's CD and soon Chris Martin's voice was filling my ears.

Honey you are a rock

Upon which I stand

And I come here to talk

I hope you understand

That green eyes

Yeah the spark light

Shines upon you

And how could

Anybody deny you?

Cause I came here

With a load and

It feels so much lighter

Now that I met you

And honey you should know

That I could never go

On without you

Green eyes….

Honey you are the sea

Upon which I float

And I came here to talk

I think you should know

That green eyes

You're the one that

I wanted to find

And anyone who

Tried to deny you

Must be out of their minds

Cause I came here with a load

And it feels so much lighter

Now since I met you

And honey you should know

That I could never go

On without you

Green eyes…

The lyrics so closely resembled Vaughn and how I felt about him. Obviously the song was named Green Eyes and Vaughn had the most beautiful green eyes I'd ever seen. They were so vibrant and soft. It is one of his best features. But mostly, he is my rock. When my mother died he was there for me every minute of it even though we were so young. Every time my father left on another business trip Vaughn would come over and keep me company. When my senior Homecoming date, Noah Hicks, stood me up the night of the dance, Vaughn put on a suit and filled in as my date. It was the best time I ever had at a high school dance. He kept it a secret from me that he was actually a very good dancer. I never knew because he didn't like going to dances.

The slow soft music playing soon put me to sleep. I woke up just as Vaughn was getting out of the car. I slid out as Vaughn walked me up the stairs. As we reached my door I decided that this was the time. I had to tell him how I felt. If I didn't tell him now, then I don't know if I ever will have the courage to do it.

"That was so much fun Syd. You made a better date than Weiss." Vaughn leaned against the frame of my door as I frantically searched for something to stare at.

"Vaughn I need to tell you something." My hands begun to shake as I tucked a few stray hairs behind my ear.

"Sure, shoot." He took off his hat and ran a hand through his hat hair.

"I umm…"

"You umm what, Syd?"

"Vaughn, I…"

Suddenly my front door opened causing Vaughn to fall into my apartment. Weiss appeared in the doorway and didn't even attempt to catch Vaughn as he fell. Francie stood there cracking up. I, on the other hand, wasn't too pleased we were interrupted.

"Hey buddy. Didn't know you two were outside." Weiss offered a hand to Vaughn and helped him up.

"It's cool, man."

"Now that you're here, you can drive me home. Francie was going to give me a ride." Weiss said as I walked inside and threw my jacket on the couch.

"Oh ok. But, Syd was just saying she had something to tell me. What'd you wanna say?"

All three people in the room looked at me and I froze. This was something I wanted to tell him in private. I definitely didn't want to declare my love for him in front of Francie and especially not Weiss.

"Oh. It's nothing. I just wanted to say that I'm starting to like baseball now." I laughed and tried to play my disappointment off. Luckily he bought it.

"Good. We'll have to go again soon." Vaughn waved to Francie and then came over and gave me a hug. He smelled so good. The smell of his aftershave and cologne were intoxicating.

"I'll see you later." He said as he pulled out of my arms.

"Thanks for the help Fran! Bye Syd." Weiss said as the door closed. I let out a loud groan. That was not the way I wanted the night to end.

"Omg, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you guys were outside the door and you were going to tell him!" Francie came over to me and sat on the counter. "So how was your date?"

"Oh it was definitely eventful. Vaughn and I kissed."

"You guys kissed!!!" Francie literally shrieked. "Tell me everything! If you kissed then why did you still have to tell him you liked him?"

"Because when we were at the game they were showing couples kissing on the big screen in between innings and they showed Vaughn and I. If Vaughn and I didn't kiss we would've gotten booed by the whole stadium."

"I see. Well, how was the rest of the game?" Fran looked disappointed.

"It was fun. Just being with him was great until I started to have doubts about him and I. But then, when we were walking out, he held my hand all the way till we got to the car."

"Aww, you guys held hands! That is so sweet. See, I told you he likes you."

"Yeah, well, my confession will just have to wait for another day." I walked towards my room. I was exhausted from stressing out over Vaughn. "Goodnight Fran, see you tomorrow."

Vaughn's POV

After we got into my car I socked Weiss right in the shoulder. He interrupted a very crucial moment between Sydney and I. I really thought she was going to tell me something important. Something I longed to hear my whole life.

"What the hell was that for, Mike?" Weiss said as he rubbed his shoulder.

"Dude, you interrupted Syd and I! She was going to say something important to me until you opened the door." Weiss couldn't have had the worst timing in the world.

"I didn't even know you guys were outside. Chill out. Besides, I already knew what she was going to say."

"How do you know what she was going to say? Weiss, man, you better tell me."

"I promised Sydney I wouldn't. But, since you are my roommate and best friend, I might as well tell you. But, I swear to god if you tell her I told you I will kick you out of my place." It was killing me. I had to know.

"Dude, Syd's completely in love with you. She told me this afternoon."

"SERIOUSLY?!? Weiss, I love you. Really, I do."

"Ok one, don't ever say you love me again. And two, for the love of twinkies Mike, will one of you say something about this cause it's killing Francie and I!"

I couldn't control my happiness anymore and as soon as we got to our place and parked I jumped on Weiss. Sydney felt the same way I did. It was the best news I've ever heard in my life.

"So how did your date go anyways?" Weiss asked as he opened up our front door.

"It was great. We kissed and held hands." I walked in and sat myself on the couch.

"Ok, if you kissed and held hands, how in the hell did you not know she likes you?" I could tell he was confused.

"Well, we were forced into the kiss. They did this whole couple kissing thing during the 6th inning…."

"Oh sh! They played the Frank Sinatra song, right? They did that when I was there. So you guys kissed in front of everyone watching?"

"Yeah pretty much. But, I still didn't know how she felt about it. And, as we were walking out of the stadium I grabbed her hand so I wouldn't lose her. But, then we just kept walking and neither of us let go. I had a feeling she liked me, but I wanted to hear her actually say it."

"You're a lucky little bastard, you know that Mike? Syd is so hot." Weiss sat down on the couch next to me and grabbed the remote to the TV.

"I know, dude. At least I know now."

"Yup, at least you know now." Weiss repeated.
