Darien's POV~
Ooooohhhh*groans*...someone help me...I'm dying. My head hurts, and I feel like I'm gonna throw up. Oh God, how much did I drink last night. And how the hell did I get back to my apartment last night. Wait! this isn't my bedroom?!...where the hell am I?...Think, you idiot! ok...I had a really bad day at the office, then I went to the Silver Lounge for a few drink,(he he...more than a "few") then I remember talking to this beautiful lady who was sitting next to me, and...um...there was a plane...lots of bright lights that made my eyes hurt...that's all?...come on you stupid brain! That lady again, why is her image keep coming up? Oooh...I'm gonna throw up
End of Darien's POV~
Darian slowly gets out of bed, a little disoriented. He looks around looking for the bathroom, but instead, he finds a naked girl with tangled in her long blond hair and the white bed sheet laying on the bed next to where Darien was. She moans and slowly stars to wake up.
Serena's POV~
Ow my God, my head!...I must have died and gone to heaven...no, wait, I can't be in heaven if I'm feeling pain...I must be in hell then. Ohhhhhh*groans* what did I do in my life that was so horrible that I went to hell? I knew I shouldn't have spread that rumor about Suzy Tayler back in high school.
Where the hell am I? This looks like a bedroom...but whose?...certainly not mine. Oh God, I can't open my eyes, they hurt too much. I knew I shouldn't have drank that much. Why the hell did I drank so much, I've never drink...It's because of Alan...ugh!...I was such a fool for believing that he'd fall in love with me. I better get up and try to compose back my life...or what's left of it.
End of Serena's POV~
Serena moaned a little as she got up because the sudden movement caused her head to hurt. She slowly opened her eyes and tried her best to adjust to the morning light that was filtering in through the curtain. Suddenly, Serena noticed that someone was watching her. She turned her head and saw a guy with black hair, and blue eyes...and he was completely naked...wait, so was she...Serena scrambled out of bed taking the bed sheet with her.
Darien and Serena just stood there trying to figure out what happened last night. Darian was the first to speak:
"Okay, first of all, lets not panic."
"What do you mean not panic?! I wake up one morning in a stranger's bed naked, and you expect me to stay calm?!"
"Hey, this is a surprise for me too. It isn't everyday I wake up in a hotel room with a gorgeous women whom I just met last night."
"We're in a hotel room?" Serena whispered. "Oh my God!...I'm ruined"
"No, you're not ruined. We just gotta figure out what happened last night."
"Isn't it obvious what happened last night." she said as she pointed towards the bed. "And can you please cover yourself up?"
That's when Darien noticed that he still didn't have anything on. He grabbed a pair of trouser that was lying on the floor and put it on. "Better?"
"I gotta get out of here. I have to get back home or else my room mate will start to worry about me."
Serena went around the room looking for her stuff. As soon as she gathered up all her stuff, she went into the bathroom to get dressed and wash up. Darien picked up the phone to order some breakfast when a brochure next to the telephone caught his eye.
"uh-oh"
Just then, Serena came out of the bathroom wearing the black cocktail dress from last night.
"well, Mr....uh...I didn't quite catch your name...never mind, I don't want to know, anyways...this has been quite a day, something I would rather forget, nonetheless, I doubt I'll be seeing you in the future, if so, let's pretend we've never met..."
"wait, miss, there's something you should know..."
but Serena wasn't paying attention, she just kept blabbing on while heading toward the door. "...I wish you the best of luck...good bye..."
"but...wait..." *click* Serena had left
1...2...3...*...10 *knock knock*
Darien smiled a little at the amusement and went to go open the door.
Serena barged into the room looking like she was about to have a mental break down. "we're not in New York?!."
Darien handed her the brochure he was holding. "No. I believe we're in Las Vegas, Nevada."
"what the hell are we doing in Vegas...oh god,...don't tell me we...uh...we..."
"No! no, I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation why we're in Vegas."
By now, both of them began to panic because they have absolutely no idea what happened last night.
"well, I don't see a ring on my finger." said Serena
"I remember a lot of casinos, but no wedding chapel. And I can't find a copy of a marriage certificate anywhere, so we must have just gotten drunk, flew to Vegas, gambled a bit, checked into a hotel, and...um*cough*...went to sleep." said Darien
"yeah, yeah, I like that...that sounds good to me." Serena said hastily.
"yeah...well, um...we should get to the airport and book a flight to New York." said Darien.
"If you don't mind, I think it'd be best if I leave now, and you can get on a later flight." Serena said a little nervously.
"sure, sure. I don't mind"
"thank you. Well, um, bye"
"bye"
And Serena left the hotel.

"We will now be boarding passenger for flight 626, a non stop flight to New York"
After Serena boarded the plane and took her seat, she began to think about the man from this morning. There was something about him that made her feel...something...she didn't know what it was...it was very foreign to her. She just couldn't get the image of his face out of her mind. His black hair, his blue eyes, his pouty lip, tall, muscular, but not too much. *come on Serena, you shouldn't be thinking about him...you should forget about him. What are the chance of running into him again. (sigh)Only if you hadn't gotten into that stupid argument with Alan, this never would have happened.*
~flashback~
Serena and Alan was at a fancy restaurant eating dinner. They've been going out for over a year.
"I'm going to the bar and get something to drink while they get our order."
"alright, but be back soon, our order should be here in a few minute."
Alan disappeared into an adjoining room where the bar was. Serena sat at the table alone waiting for Alan to return. A few minute later, the food arrived, but Alan hasn't. It's been over ten minutes now and Serena was wondering why it was taking him so long to get a drink. She got up and headed toward the bar. What she saw when she got there gave her the shock of her life. There was Alan sitting on a stool in front of the bar...and a another women sitting next to him. She was practically sitting on his lap and they were kissing. Serena ran back into the dining room, grabbed her purse and rushed out of the restaurant without Alan noticing her. She hailed a cab and left...but she had no where else to go. She didn't feel like facing anyone right now. After a few minutes she passed by a bar called the Silver Lounge. *I could definitely use a drink right about now.* She paid the cab driver and went into the Silver Lounge. The place was dark and empty, probably because it's almost closing time. She walked up to the bar and ordered a strong drink. That's when she noticed him sitting next to her.
~end of flashback~
"Attention passengers, we will soon be arriving at our destination. Please return to your seat and fasten your seat belt..."
Serena, who must have dozed off, woke up to the sound on the intercom. *finally, I'm home. I just want to go home and forget about all that happened since last night.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Darien was staring at the door where she just left. *I didn't even ask her for her name. Oh well, I probably will never see her again...But what if something really did happen last night.*
suddenly there was a knock at the door. *could it be her again?* Darien went to go open the door, but it wasn't her, it was his pilot.
"Andrew! What are you doing here?"
"I came to pick you up Mr. Shield. You and that young lady wanted to go to Las Vegas last night and so you called me to ready the private jet. Um...where is the young lady, if I may ask."
"oh, she went back to New York by herself." Darien said a little disoriented.
"Alright. Should I get the jet ready for the flight back to New York? You are scheduled for a few meetings this afternoon."
"huh?...oh, yeah, sure..." said Darien. "hey, Andrew, do you by any chance know her name or why we wanted to go to Vegas?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Shield, but it's not my job to pry into your private life, so I never bother asking."
"oh...ok...let's get out of here."
On his way back to New York, Darien began to think about his day yesterday and how he ended up in the Silver Lounge.
~Flashback~
"Darien, sweetheart, you don't actually expect me to sign this, do you?"
"Come on Anne, if you do truly love me, you'd have no problem signing this."
"This isn't about love, Darien, you just don't trust me. This is why all your other fiances left you.
"It's just a prenuptial agreement, Anne. This is just to make sure you're not marrying me for my money."
"Darien, this is silly." said a worried Anne. "You know I love you for who you are, now put that silly thing away."
"sorry Anne...there's not going to be a wedding until it's signed."
"Darien, you're just stressed out from over work. why you to think this through tonight and figure out if you really want to start out our marriage with a prenuptual agreement." And Anne left the office.
Darien sighed. It looks like another one. *I don't even know why I bother getting into a relationship. they're all the same.*
Darien left his office to look for a bar. He needed a drink badly. A few blocks from his office was the Silver Lounge...
