While I was Waiting for You
Rated: PG

As soon as Serena stepped into the bar, smoke swept
into her lungs and her eyes started to water.
Looking through the clouds of smoke, she managed to
read the sign that said, "Non-smoking" with an arrow
pointing to the left. Serena followed the directions
and was able to breathe clearly. She sat down on one
of the stools at the bar.

"Would you like something to drink?" The bartender
asked.

"White wine, thank you." Noticing how hot it was in
the bar, Serena slipped off her black jacket to reveal a
dark blue criss-cross, v-neck top. The top accented her
mesmerizing blue eyes and her black pants contrasted to her
long bright blond hair. She wanted to be a little early,
so she didn't bother putting her hair up in meatballs.

"Here you go miss," The bartender laid down a napkin
and placed her glass down. Serena noticed he was in no
position of moving, so she gave him a look that said 'Back
off buster.'

"Thanks." He immediately rushed off to serve another
customer.

She slowly gulped down her wine. The rich coolness of
the liquid washed down her throat. She checked her watch.
9:45. Her boyfriend, Darien and her were suppose to be on a
date. 'He's probably on his way,' she silently mused. He is
always late, getting her flowers, candy, or something
romantic. He's always doing things like that. 'Probably
showing that I'm his and ONLY his. He's so possessive. But
I still love him.'

Serena started fumbling with her napkin. She looked
around, trying to see if anyone she knew was there. Nope,
no such luck. Her eyes rested on a man sitting a couple of
stools away.

He had white long hair that reached his shoulders.
His pale hand reached up to tuck a strand behind his ear.
He had piercing violet eyes.

His eyes slowly reached up and rested on Serena's and
he smiled. He got up and walked over to a stool next to
hers.

"Hi, I'm Diamond Martel. I was sitting alone and it
looked like you wanted someone to talk too." He said with a
friendly tone.

"I'm Serena Matheson, nice to meet you." They shook
hands and they started chatting about themselves.

I fumbled w/ a napkin
I had a glass of wine
I was a little early
I had a little time
I sat up at the bar,
Talking to a stranger
It seemed a safe thing to do
While I was waiting...
While I was waiting for you.

"So, what's a pretty woman like you doing here?"
Diamond asked Serena.

She blushed. "I'm waiting for someone." She replied.

The bartender set down Diamond's meal and Diamond
started to eat. Serena notice that Diamond was trustworthy
and was a very pleasant gentleman. 'No psycho killer here,'
she thought amusedly.

"So Diamond, where did you grow up and why did you
leave?" She asked wishing to learn more about him.

"I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. I guess you can say
I didn't like the blues." He said lightheartedly. Serena
laughed at this.

A song started playing on the jukebox. Diamond looked
over at it. He looked back to Serena with a light in his
eyes. He stood up and offered his hand to Serena's.

"Would you like to dance milady?" He smiled.

"Why yes kind sir." She smiled back.

They were only going to dance to one song but they
were having so much fun. So their one dance turned into
two.

He said that I was pretty
Then he turned back to his meal
And something about this stranger
Was suttle and sincere.
He said he grew up in Memphis
But he didn't like the blues
And our one dance turned into two
While I was waiting...
While I was waiting for you.

Unknown to the pair, a dark-haired tall man walked
into the doors, looking for someone. His azure eyes
rested on a couple dancing. His eyes darkened at the
thought of another man touching his girlfriend.

He walked up to Diamond, took Serena's hand and said
"Excuse me, but do you mind if I cut in?"

"Of course not." Diamond said politely.

Serena looked surprised. Diamond didn't raise a fist or
said a comeback.

Diamond was getting ready to walk back to his meal
when he turned around and said to Darien, "You sure do have
a lovely wife."

Darien looked amusedly at him with a smile.

Serena got lost in her thoughts.

When you walked in the door
When you walked up to him
When you took my hand and said that
You were cutting in.
This stranger from Memphis was very polite
He said, "You sure do have a lovely wife."
Why...he thought I was your wife.

'He just wants a girlfriend. He just wants us to
remain girlfriend and boyfriend for the rest of our lives.'
Serena thought sadly. 'I want us to someday get married,
have children, and grow old together.'

Suddenly, she looked up to Darien and expressed her
concern. "Darien, where is our relationship going?"

Darien looked surprised with the question. "Well, I'm
hoping we'll keep being together." His face abruptly turned
into stricken expression. "Unless you want to break up.
Please say you don't want to break up." He asked with
pleading eyes.

"I'm not breaking up with you Darien. I mean, are we
going to stay boyfriend and girlfriend forever?"

Darien let out a breath. "Serena, what's the hurry? I
mean we have the rest of our lives together. Let's just
take our time." He gave her a reassuring hug.

She released from his embrace. "Darien, I can't wait
forever. Our time is almost through." With that being said,
she went back up to the bar, grabbed her coat and purse,
and left the bar.


Well that's what got me thinking
It's like someone slammed the door
You just want a girlfriend
I want so much more
You ask me what's the hurry
You say let's take our time
Well I ay our time is just through
While I was waiting...
While I was waiting

For you to pop the question
For you to make your move
I turned into someone new
While I was waiting
While I was waiting for you
Waiting for you
While I was waiting for you
While I was waiting for you
While I was waiting for you
While I was waiting for you
Ooohhh...

As the song's last lyrics were belted out of the
radio, Darien pressed the power button. It's not that he
didn't want to be with her. It's just...why does she want to
rush into things?

Thoughts came into his mind of marriage to Serena.
Waking up every morning to her warmth next to him. Being
with her as she gives birth to a son or daughter. THEIR son
or daughter. Watching their children grow up. Growing old
with her.

Realization and understanding came into his mind.
That's why she wants us to be more. But am I too late???

I am evil. Hehehe...well tell me what you think. Pretty please.
