Thursday night rolled around and Sydney decided to stay in and catch up on some work she had to do. She refused to go out with Francie and Will, which wasn't easy. She was just about to start working when her cell rang.
"Hello" answered Sydney
"Hi Sydney, its Michael….Michael Vaughn"
It took a second to register who it was but, when it did Sydney broke out into a huge grin.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Eh, can't complain and yourself?" asked Michael.
"Same here, just being lazy tonight and catching up on some work"
"I hear you, how's work?"
"Crazy, my dad told me another partner might be coming in a few months but I have no idea who it is" sighed Sydney
"That sucks, at least a dog didn't pee on you today" said Michael sadly
"What!" exclaimed Sydney
"Yeah, I was doing an exam, and I guess he must have been a little nervous"
"Oh my god, that's hilarious" laughed Sydney as she lay down on her couch.
"Hey it was a traumatizing experience!" joked Michael
"Aww, poor baby" teased Sydney
"Watch it Bristow" Michael shot back
"Ok ok, I'll stop" giggled Sydney, loving the banter between them
"Thanks now the reason I called, I wanted to know if we're still on for this weekend." asked Michael, having to sit down because for some reason he was still nervous.
"Definitely" smiled Sydney even though he couldn't see it.
"How about I pick you up on Saturday around 6 o'clock?"
"Sounds good, what should I wear?" Sydney asked, trying to get an idea of where they were going.
"Semi formal" Michael said nonchalantly
Sydney gave Michael directions after which they wished each other goodnight. After both lay awake thinking how Saturday seemed so far away.
"Oh my god, Fran I need your help!" Sydney said frantically as she pulled Francie into her apartment.
"Girl, calm down" Francie laughed as she followed Sydney into her room. "You can't pick an outfit out from all these clothes?" She said, noticing that Sydney's closet seemed to be on her bed.
"I just want this to be perfect" Sydney sighed examining her pile of clothes.
"Ok he said semi formal right?" asked Francie, Sydney nodded her head. "Try this"
"Fran you're my life savor" Sydney said taking the outfit.
"I know" smiled Francie "Now go get dressed, he's going to be here soon!"
At exactly 6 o'clock there was a knock at Sydney's door.
"Fran can you get that" yelled Sydney form the bathroom as Francie opened the door.
"Umm hi, is this Sydney Bristow's apartment" questioned Michael.
"Yeah, I'm Francie, Sydney's friend." said Francie, extending her hand to Michael which he shook. "Come on in, she's almost ready."
Michael and Francie talked for a few minutes until Sydney came out of her room.
"Michael, hi" Sydney said as she grabbed her purse from the counter.
Michael turned around and his jaw dropped. He was blown away by her, she had on a simple black cocktail dress that just fell above her knee with black strappy heels and her hair curled.
"Hey, ready to go" Michael asked, finally breaking out of his trance.
"Yep, let's go" Sydney said taking Michael's hand as she took in his attire of black dress pants and a green dress shirt the accented his eyes.
"See you later Fran!"
"You two kids have fun" Francie said as she winked at Sydney and gave her thumbs up.
