Thud. Darien was shocked to be pinned up against a wall by a girl.

Not just any girl, but Raye.

His old girlfriend.

Sarena's best friend, yet arch enemy, too.

"Wait a second, Raye! Why are you doing this?" Darien asked, trying to stall for time so he could get himself out of this with all of his body in tact.

"Why?! Because I can't forget about you or our time together! Why don't you dump your clutz of a girlfriend, and go for a real woman like me?" Raye said as she pressed closer to Darien.

Gulp. Think! "Because! Sarena may be a clutz, but at least she's considerate!" And I love her!

"Can she kiss you the was a man likes, and needs, to be kissed?" She asked him, her face mere inches from his, trying to tease him.

"Yes, she can!" he said instantly, recalling her passion.

"Oh really? Let's see…" She stood on tip-toe and pressed her mouth to his. When he tried to push her away, she circled her arms around his neck, and clung to the back of his head. That's when he heard the door open, and a voice call out, "Darien! Darien, are you here?" Oh no! It's Sarena! He tried to push Raye back, but she just pressed closer, body and mouth. He could fell her tongue sliding against his lower lip, then trying to push past them. No! This is wrong and disgusting. I've got to get her away!

"Darien! I brought you-!" Sarena stopped when she rounded the corner. The look of shock, then hurt, then finally anger, tore Darien apart. He pushed Raye away, and she let him push her back, with a huge grin of triumph that she shot towards Sarena.

"Sarena, this is definitely not what it looks like!" Darien said as he ran towards her. He went to touch her, but she pulled away from him.

"Don't touch me after what you just did with that…with that…whore!" Sarena yelled at him as she ran from his apartment. She forgot that she had left her package on the table.

First things first! He turned to Raye. "Get out now!" He yelled at her.

"But-!" Raye tried to plead, but Darien interrupted her.

"Get out of my apartment now!" Darien was barely holding onto his anger.

"Fine! I will! Don't expect me to come back when you're awake at night because Sarena can't please you the way a real woman like me can. Because she if definitely not a real woman!" Raye stormed out of his apartment, but unfortunately for him, not the rest of his life.
