I knw it's been months, probably a year since my last update here, I used to update on SD-1 but not that it's gone, I have to find a place to post this story.
Chapter 14
Vaughn was awaken the next morning by Weiss who was running in his room, he was looking for his running shoes.
"Weiss, can you tell me what your shoes would be doing in my room? And why aren't you looking for them in your room?"
"Because technically they are your shoes, not mine."
"Okay, then tell me why you are taking my shoes instead of yours? Your closet is full of them!"
"Because your shoes are better than mine and you know girls..."
"Just take those shoes and get out of here before I kill you!"
"Wow, calm down. What's wrong with you?"
"I didn't sleep last night and I'm tired so get out of my room now.
"Man, I don't know what's wrong with you but you'd better calm down before I hit you to do so!"
"Weiss!" he cried as he threw a shoe at him, trying to go back to a wonderful place called, dreamland.
"Okay, don't worry I got the message but don't forget you have to go to uni today. You don't want Sydney to think you are a bad guy, which is what you are in fact..."
"Damn Eric, get out of my room before I sent you to hospital."
"Okay, but someone is in a bad mood today." he said as he closed the door behind him and hearing something crash against the door. He looked at it thinking there was definitely something wrong with him.
Contrary to Vaughn, Sydney was awaken by the smell of pancakes being made by Fran.
"Hey sleepy head. Fran told her as she sat on a stool.
"Morning to you too, you are in a good mood today."
"Yes I'm and eat your pancakes while they are still warm."
"Okay, but can you tell me what I did to deserve such a breakfast?"
"You got a date with a hot guy and you are going out with him again!"
"Fran that will only happen if he wants to, I'm not going to force him."
"Sydney, from what you told me last night I'm sure he is going to ask you out, have a little faith in you! And when he will what will you answer?"
"I'd love to have another date with you." she said in a voice that was more the one of a dumb blond who has more make up on her than she will ever have in her life.
On the campus
After their breakfast Sydney and Fran decided it would be better to head to university, especially since Fran wanted Sydney to meet Vaughn so he could ask her out, according to her. They were talking about some unimportant things when Sydney noticed Vaughn sitting under a tree, reading a book, Francie followed her gaze and smiled when she saw him.
"Why are you still standing here?" she asked her.
"What?"
"Move! Use the legs God gave you and walk toward him. Do I have to do everything?"
"Fran, I can't..."
"Yes you can and you are going to talk to him."
"Fran, I can't..."
"If you don't stop with your 'I can'ts' I'm going to hurt you! For once say I can, it can't be that hard to say it." she said before walking away and leaving Sydney behind her. Taking a deep breath she headed toward Vaughn's spot.
"Hey." she said as she stood in front of him.
"Hi, so how are you since last night?"
"I'm better than I have been in a long time to tell the truth. I'm in a pretty good mood too, what about you?"
"The same thing goes for me, especially after our dinner." he said smiling as Sydney's face started to turn red.
"Thanks, so what are you doing?"
"I was just reading my manual." he said, but the truth was that he was pretending to read. He was in fact waiting to see her, he took his book and started to read it only when he saw her walking on the grass with her friend.
"Oh it's just a book about law I have to read for my class."
"Is it interesting?"
"Yes but not as interesting as watching you."
"Thanks." she sad turning to look away, her face really needed to stop turning red every 10 seconds."
"I was thinking about you and what you said last night about not wanting to date someone but I really enjoyed our dinner."
"Yes, about that little comment I made, I'd like..."
"I know you said you didn't want to..."
"Hey!" she said, making him stop."If you had left me finish, you would have learned that I want to take back what I told you about dating guys."
"Really?"
"Yeah but it's up to you. You are the one who decides what you want to do with this information."
"The Kings are playing tomorrow, would you like to come with me?"
"You love hockey?" she asked surprised to learn he loves hockey.
"Yes, I'm a Kings fan since my childhood."
How can you possibly be a Kings fan? You've been living in France until a few weeks ago, it's just hard to imagine you as a hockey fan. Come on! You used to live in France, how do you even know hockey?"
"I will tell how it's possible tonight, and you know France is in Europe, not on Mars. I'm sorry but I have a class starting soon."
"Are you in the law wing?"
"Yes."
"Medicine wing is only a few meter away, do you mind if I walk with you?"
"No, in fact I'd love that."
They smiled to each other as they started to walk and talking about unimportant things.
