Sydney smiled walking into work Monday morning. She was happy. For once she could say she was truly happy and content. Everyone at the office seemed to notice especially her father.

"Sydney, are you feeling ok?" Jack Bristow asked, interested in what could make his daughter act in such a strange way.

"Dad I'm fine really, just happy." Sydney assured him.

"Ok, but if you need to talk about something just come to my office." He said smiling lightly. "I got to run or I'll be late for the meeting, maybe we'll have dinner this week."

"Yeah that would be nice" Sydney nodded watching her father walk away before turning back to her office where her nosy secretary was waiting.

"These came just now for you, I signed for them and everything." came the high pitched voice of Mary.

"Thanks Mary, does it says who they're from?" Sydney said attempting to look for a card through the dozens roses. Mary shook her head in the negative as Sydney took the roses into her office. Once she made it sat at her desk and looked at the closely she noticed a small card with Sydney written on it. She opened the card and instantly smiled when she realized who it was from.

Dear Sydney,

I had an amazing time this weekend. I remember you mentioning you loved roses, so I thought why not. I can't wait to see you tomorrow…it's going to be fun I promise. Talk to you soon

-Vaughn

"He is something else." sighed Sydney once she was done reading and focused back on her work.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sydney walked into the rink feeling the rush of called air hit her as soon as she walked in. She looked around and noticed that there was a good turn out of people; she walked up to the edge of the rink where Vaughn was practicing.

"So the other day I got these beautiful dozen roses delivered to my office, know who they're from?" she asked getting his attention. He grinned widely and skated over to her.

"Hello there." He said kissing her on the lips. "Did you like them?"

"Of course, they were beautiful really." Sydney smiled "Everyone at my office was trying to figure out why I was acting so weird."

"Did you tell them?"

"Yeah I said it was because some really hot guy took me out this weekend, who by the way looks very cute in his hockey uniform." smirked Sydney pulling slightly on the hem of Vaughn's jersey.

Vaughn laughed. "Good to know you had fun, because I did too."

"I'll let you get back to you team, I think they want you back." Sydney noticed the curious glances they were recieving from Vaughn's teamates before focusing her attention back on him."Good luck." she said kissing him quickly. He reluctantly skated away just as the game was getting underway.

Sydney never realize how much fun she could actually have at a hockey game. Vaughn did an amazing job all night. Three goals scored by him out of his teams five, making them top the other team by two. Vaughn was good she had to admit. Sydney made her way down to the rink just as they finished.

"Yuou were amazing." she smiled as Vaughn grinned.

"Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, I might have to come to some more games."

Vaughn laughed. "Let me go get changed then we can go get some dinner." he said before skating off to the dressing rooms.

Sydney waited patiently for Vaughn outside noticing that when he came out he wasn't alone. Along side him was another man but he was a little shorter, and had dark hair.

"Hey Syd, I wanted you to meet someone." Vaughn said once he had reached her. "This is Eric Weiss, he's my partner at the office slash my best friend."

"Nice to finally meet you, Mike hasn't stopped talking about you." smiled Eric noticing he had made both Sydney and Vaughn blush.

"Nice to meet you too, all good things I hope."

"Oh yeah, don't worry." winked Eric "But I have to be getting home, we're going to be busy tomorrow, it was nice meeting you Sydney."

"Same here" Sydney watched as Eric shook Vaughn's hand before leaving.

"You ready for some dinner?" Sydney nodded taking Vaughn's hand, walking off to their cars.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So how long have you known Eric?" asked Sydney as they were eating dinner.

"Forever, we grew up together, I came here from France when I was 3." replied Vaughn

"You were born in France!" Sydney exclaimed open mouthed.

"Yeah" Vaughn laughed at her reaction. "So where did you grow up?"

"Definitiely not France." she smiled "New York actually, born and raised."

"Alright, I got to ask, Yankees or Mets?" Vaughn raised an eyebrow.

"Are you kidding, the Yankees hands down." Sydney stated as if it was obvious.

Vaughn shook his head. "I'm a Mets fan."

Sydney nearly choked on her wine. "Your serious?" Vaughn nodded. "We'll see about that." she winked.

Vaughn smiled at Sydney, he couldn't believe in such a short amount of time they had become so close. He realized that this was definitely going somewhere and he couldn't wait.
