Valentine Kiss

Chapter One.

Sydney slammed the front door to her apartment, shut behind her as she wearily shrugged out of her coat.
She was having a rather bad day. . .
'Or evening.' she thought morosely as she walked up to the refrigerator.
"Sydney. . .I didnt think you'd be home this early. . "
Sydney turned around at the sound of her sisters voice.
Nadia was dressed in an elegant black off the shoulder evening gown.
Her dark hair was swept back and she looked like she was the picture of a girl ready to go out there and paint the town red.
With her date of course.
Sydney tried her best to stifle the twinge of jealously she felt in her gut as she quickly glanced away.
"Going out with Eric?" she asked as she opened the fridge and began to rummage around looking for an apple.
"And youre not with Maxwell?
Let me see. . Does he have more important plans tonight?" Nadia asked her voice dripping sarcasm.
Sydney sighed heavily.
"Look. . .I really dont want to talk about Maxwell right now Nads. . ."
Nadia was shaking her head,
a look of disbelief painted across her pretty features.
"Tell me Sis. . .When will you except that Maxwell is just Using you as his little plaything?
And the sooner you break up with him. . .
The sooner you can move on to someone who deserves someone as special as you." Nadia's voice had softened now and she was staring earnestly at her sister.
Sydney tried her best to block out her sisters voice as she glared into the empty fridge.
"How come we dont have a single apple here?" she hissed frustrated.
"Think about it Syd. . .
Youre just his secetary. . .
And he's your boss.
Nothing more." Nadia shook her head.
Sydney still ignored her,
not wanting to face a truth that hurt way too much.
Hissing in annoyance Nadia stalked up to the front door.
"I'll be back late. Dont wait up." she called out.
The door slammed shut behind her and Sydney muttered under her breath.
"Since when do i sis?"
****
After a while of just sitting on the couch and listening to the fridge hum, Sydney was seriously beginning to feel sorry for herself.
Sighing, she got to her feet and grabbed her coat.
She left the apartment and took a brisk walk to the little Starbucks shop at the corner of the road, firguring, the fridge was in desperate need of some fruits. . .
The bell above the door jingled merrily above her head as she walked in.
Grabbing a basket, she made her way to the fridge and selected a few apples.
On impulse she walked past the fridges and grabbed a few tubs of ice cream.
'I could sure do with some comfort food right about now.' she thought rolling her eyes as she headed to the cashier.
She stood in the long line, and
feeling bored she glanced around the small neat shop.
She caught sight of a guy standing by the magazine rack, reading the New York Times.
'He looks kinda cute. . ' she thought almost wistfully as she studied his intense green eyes and his dark brown hair.
Hair that she would just love to tangle her hands in. . .
Trying her best to force that saucy thought out of her mind Sydney glanced up as she realised the cashier was waiting for her.
She dumped her purchases unceremoniously on the counter and kept stealing glances at the heavenly cute guy.
'He's so much cuter than Maxwell. . ' she thought.
Then a depressing thought crossed her mind.
'He's probably married. . .
After all . .Arent all the good ones taken already?'
"That will be fifty five dollars mam." the cashier said.
She looked up quickly.
"Oh . . Yeah. . Right." she mumbled as she fumbled in her bag for her purse.
"Where is is. . " she muttered as she couldnt find it.
She remembered taking it. .
Yet it just wasnt there.
Sydney glanced up in dismay and much to her horror, realised the cute guy was right behind her watching this entire embarassing scene unfold.
She looked up at the cashier quickly.
"Um. . .Sorry. . .I seem to have forgotten my purse. . .
Can i maybe come back. . ." she stammered suddenly feeling akward as the cashier was sneering at her.
"Wait. . .Let me pay. . ." the cute guy suddenly spoke his voice bearing a distinct French accent.
Sydney spun around and faced him her cheeks blushing.
"No! I cant let you do that." she protested.
His warm green eyes sparkled as he smiled at her.
She was sure her knees were gonna give at that look. . .
'That smile should be illegal.' she decided as she leaned against the counter for support.
"Please. . .Let me. . .
Its really nothing." Micheal insisted.
Sydney stared at him chewing her lower lip.
It was going to be really hard turning him down. . .
"Fifty Five Dollars is hardly nothing" Sydney raised her eyebrows.
He smiled charmingly.
"Oh come on. . .Who can refuse ice cream?" he laughed.
Sydney glanced at the counter and realised her Ice Cream tubs were melting.
"Ok. . .But you have to let me pay you back." she insisted.
He just smiled as he quickly handed the cashier a wad of notes.
"Im sure i must have left my purse in the car. . " she mumbled.
"By the way. . My name is Micheal Vaughn." he said as he held out his hand to her.
She smiled and shook his warm hand.
"Sydney Bristow." she replied distractedly.
His hands felt pretty good and she couldnt help but find her mind wander with these thoughts. . .

"Hey youre standing in the queue." the cashier snapped, and rudely pulled her from her rather entertaining thoughts.
She glanced up and relised people were queueing up behind her. .
Giggling, she jumped out of the way and joined Micheal as they both walked out.
"Oh Shoot!" she suddenly exclaimed.
"What is it?" he asked concerned.
"I forgot that i walked here. .
My car is back at my place. . .How am i going to pay you back. . " she fretted.
"Hey! Its really no problem Syd. . " he began

But. . ." Sydney began and then fell silent as he gently placed his index finger against her lips.
"No buts. . .Sydney" he said softly as he smiled at her.
She froze, Transfixed by the feel of his finger against her lips. . .
Normally she would have considered such a intimate gesture, forward if it was done by any other guy. . .
But with Micheal it almost felt . . .
Natural. . .And pure.
Smiling, Sydney shook her head.
"Just for the record. . .Im not a vagrant." she laughed.
"That thought never really crossed my mind Syd." he grinned
Sydney suddenly stopped then as she saw her apartment up ahead.
She looked at Micheal, and found herself so reluctant to leave him.
He was so . . Vivacious. . .Fun and humourous.
And thanks to Maxwell, Sydney was always feeling so depressed and deflated.
Micheal had managed to lift her low spirits in such a short time.
"Well. . .Uh. . It was nice meeting you." Sydney said akwardly.
He stuffed his hands in his pockets and. . .Was that disappointment in his eyes at their parting?
She wondered.
"Uh yeah. . . Well. . I'll see you around."
he smiled at her and then watched wistfully as she waved and jogged over to her apartment.
He wondered in his heart. .
Would he ever see her again?
He truly hoped so.
please review and let me know what you think!
 
Aww poor Syd Maxwell is such an idiot... And Michael is so cute I hope they see each other again soon....
