Disclaimer : Don't own anything except Elle and Ryan. And any OC's that will pop up in this fic.
She really liked them all but man, at times it was like she did something that made them uncomfortable and she swore she didn't do anything rude or anything. So, she had been a bit apprehensive for the rest of the dinner after the second time.
Earlier that day :
"You won't like that. I tasted that once. It does not taste good." Sydney told Elle, as they were deciding what to get for dinner. They all decided to go for an early dinner before heading of to the mission.
Not that all of them were going. Just her, Sydney, Ryan and yawn Vaughn. God, could that guy anymore boring. Seriously, she tried to like him. He didn't seem like a bad person or anything. He was just like burnt toast. You just want to throw it out and make a new piece of toast.
"I don't think so. I'm sure I'll like it." She told Sydney, and then turning to the waiter, "Do you have some called Chateau Petruse '82?" And the others look at her, along with the waiter. "What? I don't know much about wines, but I remember liking that one. I'm old enough to drink. 23 here." Elle told them, as they just continued to stare at her.
"Umh, That's not it. It's just that that's some pricey wine your asking for there. Also rare and I'm not sure we have it." The waiter told her, as Sydney just kept on looking at her. The others had gone back to talking to each other, Elle had been the last one to order.
"Oh, well, sorry. I'm not much of an drinker. I've only tasted it once. I didn't even buy it. Umh, I'll just get a coke then." She told the waiter, and blushed a bit. How was she supposed to know that about the wine? Great, make a fool out of yourself on your first day.
"It's okay, miss. The drinks will be here shortly. Food too." He told them, before walking away. After a few awkward minutes of silence and sipping of drinks, Ryan asks what languages they can speak.
"I can speak with an British and Russian accents. I know, you all speak how many languages and here I am just starting to learn something you've know for how long?" She told them, and god, blushing some more.
"That's okay. Can I hear them?" Ryan asked her, not that he was interested in accents or anything, he just wanted a reason to talk to her. Yeah, lame. What languages do you speak. God, kill him now.
"Sure. I truly believe that ... ( why is Sydney looking at me like that?) you guys are the greatest." She told them, grinning at Ryan. It was a stupid thing to say, but hehe, she was in her early twenties. She was allowed to be silly.
"Well, dinner's here." Weiss told them, since after that all was quiet once more. The 'language' subject dead.
"So, how does it taste?" Nadia asked Elle, who was devouring her dinner.
"It's great. I love it. Oh, and did I forget to mention it's a favorite of mine?" She told them, but as she said the last line, she looked at Sydney and smirked.
"That's just uncanny. Creepy." Weiss said, before Syd kicked him in the foot under the table.
"What is? Uncanny, I mean." Elle asked them, they were getting weird and she was starting to get creeped out a bit. i mean, damn it, they were hiding something. Sure, they all had secrets but she knew this was related to her. And it bothered her.
"Nothing important. Say, you didn't use to have blonde hair once, did you?" Vaughn asked her, as he stole some food of Syd's dish without her noticing.
"Well, not blonde-blonde. It was more like dirty-blonde. Actually bordering on brown. Why do you ask?" She asked him, as she finished her dinner. It was better here than some other places she had been to.
"Just wondering. So, how does it feel that the first trip your going to is this important?" He asked her, as he was going to steal more from Sydney's plate but she slapped his hand away. Well, more like his fork away with her fork.
"I'm sure I'll manage just fine. Also Ryan and Sydney will be there." She told him, before taking a sip of her coke. It was in a fancy wine glass. She thought it was just too cute. Maybe the waiter had asked for that because of the wine incident.
Briefing earlier that day :
"We have two new agents here with us today. Agents Felicano and Flinkman." Jack told them before they started the briefing. "As some of you might already know, Sydney bristow has been assigned their handler for the time being. Now on with the meeting." He said, and Elle kinda wanted to melt into her chair.
She knew that was Sydney's father and all, but he scared the crap out of her. She looked around her. There was Weiss and Nadia She liked them. Then there was Ryan and his cousin. Those two were so adorable. Next to her sat Sydney, who was sweet and likeable. At least that's what Elle found her to be.
Next to Sydney was her dork of a boyfriend, Vaughn. For one second you think ; sweet, nice, attractive and then he does something that makes you go ; asshole, dork, son of a bitch, etc.
No, she had not known him for long and she had yet to exsperiance the latter one but those were the feelings she got from what she had heard about him.
Ops! Shit. He's talking. She thought, as she heard Mr. Bristow talk about her first ever mission. Suddenly a picture popped up on the screen before her and all of the others.
Oh, intresting.
Blonde, blue eyed, young. He looked very yummy. Man, he was definatly bad. 100 her type. She laughed at herself in her mind This probably some enemy of the united states of America and you think he's your type? You now work for the US government, just no one will ever know, and your thinking you want to meet this guy and well, helllloooooo, gutter. and then looked at Sydney.
That was strange. Why was Sydney staring at her finger, which were laced together and in her lap. She seemed like she didn't want to look anyone in the eyes or at the hottie on the screen.
