Chapter 5
A Day Without Sark
Sydney,
Went into the office for some business. I should be back by 5 pm. When I get there I have a surprise for you.
SarkSydney put aside the letter and thought what it was Sark was going to bring her. It was already 10 o'clock in the morning; she had been staring at it for a good half hour.
She went to the coffee maker that was already full of hot coffee, filled an empty glass that sat next to it, and slowly began to drink it as she leaned on the counter.
What is Sark bringing me? I really want to know. It better not be something that will let me know that he knows of my plan. It would blow my cover. Ugh, Sydney get a hold of yourself. He doesn't know. He is just falling for you and you know it. It also doesn't help that I am too falling for him. I can't fall for him, what about Vaughn?? He is the one that I am truly in love with. Just stop thinking about. Drink your coffee and then go take a shower. Everything will be fine!
She finished her cup of coffee and sat it inside the sink. She walked out of the kitchen and walked up the stairs to her room. She got up to the top of the landing when she heard her phone ringing from inside her closed door. She quickly walked to her door, opened it and went to the dresser where her phone lies. She picked it up flipped it open and said, "Hello?"
"Hey, Sydney, it's Vaughn. How is everything there?" Vaughn asked from the other end of the line.
"Everything is great! Sark is doing some business. I don't know what, but that's what he said in the note," Sydney said not letting them know of the surprise that Sark was going to bring later on in the day.
"Oh really?? When will he be back?"
"He said around 5 tonight. I got his whole house to myself. I'm going to have a party!"
"Well, then in that case I will jump a plane to come join you."
Laughing, she says, "Ok, well when you get here I will be alone and there will be no big party. We'll have a party together, alone, in my bedroom."
"You know that sounds tempting and you also know that we can't do that."
"I know, I know. It was just a thought. Anyways, I was just going to take a shower so I will call you later with an update. Love you."
"Ok, talk to you later. I love you too, Sydney. Bye!"
"Bye!" She closed her phone and set it back on the dresser where it sat before. She grabbed a fresh towel from the cabinet and walked into the bathroom closing the door behind her.
When she got out it was about 11:30 am and she walked over to the light and switched it on. She was wearing a light green tank top with short jean shorts with a pair of black flip-flops. She grabbed her brush off the dresser and brushed her hair.
When she was finished she went out of the room and down the stairs into the front room where she sat down and turned on the TV. She flipped through the channels and couldn't find anything on so she went into the weight room that was down the hall to the right. She went and started first with some stretches that she always did before she started to work out. Then she grabbed a jump rope and started to jump rope. She got to about 150 times when she stopped. She grabbed boxing gloves off of the table that was by the door when she walked in not only 5 minutes ago.
She started to hit the punching bag that was on the far right wall of the room. She counted as she hit it and when she got to 100 she finally stopped. By then it was around noon and she decided that she was hungry so she went into the kitchen and opened the fridge to see what was inside.
Hmmm... Let's see. There's a grapefruit...no...a...bowl of rice...nah too blah...ahhhhh here we go. I'm gonna make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
She grabbed the jelly and went and set it on the counter. Then she grabbed the bread and the peanut butter out of the cupboard. She opened a drawer and grabbed a knife.
When her sandwich was gone and she took a long sip of water from a bottle she went into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.
Ugh... I look disgusting. I need another shower. That's what I get for working out AFTER I took a shower.
She took another shower and decided that she needed to go out and get some fresh air. She sat out by the pool on the porch just looking around thinking about what she's gonna do about her feelings about Sark.
Why? Why do I have to have these feelings? Sark is someone that I need to use to get this mission over with. Vaughn is my one and only, but why does it seem like Sark is more important? Yeah, he's important because I need him to get this over with, but why do I feel like I want him. I feel like I NEED him and nothing is ever going to change that. I just don't...
The phone rang and she jumped as she got up to grab it.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Syd. It's Sark. I just wanted to let you know that I will be returning home at 4 and I would like it if you were dressed up and ready to leave by the time I get there."
"Dressed up? Leave? To where? How dressed up should I get? Where are you taking me?" Sydney asked puzzled.
"Just wear a cocktail dress. Also, the place is for me to know and you to find out. I will be there at 4. Be ready! I have to go. I will see you later. Remember to be ready!"
"But..." Sydney said but Sark hung. She sighed. I wish he'd tell me. Then again it's kind of romantic to have him take me to a special place that requires a cocktail dress. Whatever. I am going to need to find out where we are going so I can inform Vaughn of my whereabouts.
She looked at the clock and saw that it was already 3:00. She ran inside the house and began to get ready for the date that she was going to have with Sark.
