I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing

I miss not seeing her face around the halls of the academy and slipping into her room at night to make sure that she is asleep and to crawl into her bed with her. Cruger has promoted me to Lieutenant Commander, which means I'll probably inherit being commander of the SPD New Tech City branch when either he retires or gets promoted. I know that Syd will not be to happy about that. She's been gone for three weeks and I feel lonely. I miss not having her in my arms when I sleep feeling her move around in sleep and snuggling against my chest. I would wake sometimes in the middle of the night to watch her sleep and fall in love.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

I called her after her first day of teaching at the Silver Guardians training facility and she sounded tired but for the most part almost like her old self, and she invited me over. When I pulled into the driveway of her Uncle's mansion, I found myself gasping at the magnitude of the house. It was massive. I rang the doorbell and heard a scuffle, as a breathless Syd opened the door. She looked beautiful, in a dark grey blazer and pantsuit with a pale pink silk tank underneath, her blonde curls hit and inch or so past her shoulders. Hey, she says come on in. I give her a kiss on the cheek and follow her inside the house to the parlor where she introduces me to her Aunt and Uncle who are not only the billionaire Collins of Silver Hills but also the former Time Force Pink and Red rangers. It is funny to listen to them debate who I belong to until I interject and say that my dad went to prep school with her Uncle Wes and my mom is the sister of two of the former Galaxy rangers.

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Syd leads me upstairs to this beautiful music room, which her uncle had built for her in hopes that she would write music again. I tell her she looks great and she is like the old Sydney with her trademark smile I pull her into my arm and hold her close. It feels so right, so natural. We hang out in her music room and talk. She walks me out to my car and as we were saying our good byes, she kisses me hard on the lips and then runs back into her house. I am speechless what just happened my brain is on overload and can't process what is going on. She kissed me and ran; I don't know what that means. Does that mean she liked it or was she ashamed of it? I need to call Bridge.

I have been seeing Syd on and off for about four months, we go to dinner and long walks on the beach or movies with her Aunt and Uncle. Right now we are sitting in Syd's room on her bed watching an old movie that is one of Syd's favorites 10 Things I Hate About You, personally I think the movie has no substance which is why I am watching Syd while she watches the movie, she moves around on the bed until her head is now in my lap and my fingers are twisted in her blonde curls. Syd? Hmm, she says. I…I…I love you, I say. She looks up at me and says I know. I know? What does that mean? She hits pause and sits up so she is straddling my lap and lays her head on my shoulder and says I love you too, I wrap my arms around her and hug her tight she starts to kiss my neck. It is soon a full-blown make-out session. Can you stay the night tonight like old times, she asks. Sure Syd, I'd love to. She smiles and kisses me again before settling down to watch the remainder of the movie. I get under the covers of her bed and quickly fall asleep. I wake up the next morning to find her wrapped in my arms sound asleep with her lips tugged into a smile.

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

That morning after I drove Syd to work, I drove the hour and a half back to New Tech to pick up Bridge and Jack (with Tyker who is on baby-sitting duty). So where are going? Bridge asks, I promised Sam we hang out after he gets out of school. Where do you think we are going Bridge, says Jack. Where daddy, little Tyker asks. You and I already have ours and now Sky is getting his, Jack replies. You mean the ring? Yes Bridge the ring, geesh your still on your honeymoon aren't you. So how is jumping into parenting with a 16 year-old, I ask Bridge. Its awkward, says Bridge, because I remember what Sam is going through. I'm glad me and Al got a long time before Ty goes through all that. Do you guys even know if he has genetic powers, I ask. Uh well, says Jack, we think he might be telekinetic. How so, Bridge asks. Well when he wants something, it will come to him like when he was a baby and his bottle was across the room it would float over to him Jack replies. I park and we get out of the car and walk into the jewelry store. I have the center stone changed from a pink square cut diamond to a pink teardrop cut diamond. As we leave, Jack asks when are you going to ask her to marry you. This weekend, I reply. Well it is about time, Bridge remarks.

I almost all but sprint out of the academy that Saturday after I finish my shift and out to my car, as I drive to Silver Hills I realize that I am all sweaty from work. I get to Syd's mansion and knock on the door, Sky! Come on in, her Aunt Jen greets as she let's me into the house, She's upstairs in her room. I give Jen a kiss on the cheek and sprint up the stairs. Was that Sky, I hear her Uncle Wes ask. I think he is asking Sydney to marry him, Jen replies. When I get to Syd's room, I don't even knock I just open her door and pin her on her bed with a kiss. Sky, she says breathlessly. She looks beautiful, she has on black workout pants, and a pink and white striped running tank, her hair is slightly frizzy from sweating and it is up in a ponytail. I kiss her again and say hi. What's in your pocket she asks, something hard is poking into my thigh. I blush and fish out the jewelry box and hand it to her. Open it, I say. She opens it and mouth forms a perfect o, her eyes wide with joy. Marry Me, I say. She kisses me and whispers yes. I kiss her again and slip the ring on her finger. We have an intense make out session, which almost leads to something else but we stop and then go down to announce our engagement to Jen and Wes.

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
Right here with you just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart right next to mine
And stay here in this moment for all the rest of time

We set the date for the following February 14, 2032. I became the New Tech City's SPD Commander three months before our wedding, Syd was happy for me but asked for a transfer to the SPD London Academy instead and the offer was granted. The London Academy is much more, how do you say it "lax". I don't start work until after our honeymoon to the Nebula Star System. Syd, her Aunt Jen, and Z(who is seven months pregnant with her and Bridge's second child aside from Sam and there two year old daughter Mira). The colors of the wedding are pink, white, red, and navy blue. I was so busy with becoming the new commander that when I got home at night (Syd and I rented a small apartment just outside of New Tech) that I pretty much went straight to bed and slept. Syd continued to teach at Silver Guardians until two weeks before our wedding, she'll be teaching the same course at the London Academy. I got sick with a horrible flu a week before the wedding, which kind of freaked the two of us out( I was stuck in bed for the whole week, and made Syd sleep on the couch in the living room because I didn't want her to get sick too).

The wedding was amazing. Bridge ( my best man), Jack, Sam, and Cruger were my groomsmen. Z was Syd's maid of honor; Kat and Syd's Aunt Jen were her bridesmaids. Tyker reprised his roll as the ring boy and Little Mira was our flower girl. During the processional Mira walked before Tyker, her eyes focused on her daddy (Bridge) that she ran to him forgetting to scatter the rose petals, and he held her during the entire ceremony. Syd looked like a goddess, she had a this beautiful flowing white dress that was in a Grecian style her golden curls were pinned back at the sides where a delicate veil sat in her hair and in her hands she held a bouquet of pink and red roses. I wanted to be like Mira and run to her but retrained myself, I could tell that Bridge was reading my thoughts because he started to laugh hiding behind his daughter. The ceremony was flawless other than that, Syd's father gave her away, then we were trading vows, and the priest was saying you may kiss the bride. We kiss and now we are husband and wife.

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

That night as we lay together in bed I look down at her, as she lays asleep with her head on my bare chest, I can't believe that we are married and after all we've been through, after all she has been through. I wrap my arms around her and kiss the top of her head. I love you Syd, I whisper and then close my eyes and fall asleep with my princess, my wife, my lover, and my best friend.

The End.
