Chapter 1: Moving in with Darien

Sere's POV:

"Damn! Sere, baby! Do you really need all this stuff? Cause I really don't think that this will all fit in my apartment," stated Darien.

"Darien," I said in an annoyed tone, "I already told you that a lot of this stuff is going in to the family storage just out side of town, but Andrew and me are taking it there tomorrow."

"Yes, I know Serena, but how are you going to get it there?" asked Darien.

"We'll use Andrew's truck to get it there," I said, "let's just get what needs to go to Andrew to him. Then back to your place for some more fun."

"Alright," he said with a sigh. We dropped off a lot of stuff at Andrew's place, then we headed to the apartment.

"Darien, Andrew said that …" I was having trouble finding the right words to say. "Well that it will take to long for us to go through the entire box's there. So he wanted see if you could help out and he's going to ask everyone else. "

"Yeah, baby that would be fine with me as long as it's okay with you," said Darien. We had reached his apartment by now. "So Sere, are you still going to take the boxes out tomorrow?"

"Yeah we are," I replied. That night after we ate dinner we started to unpack some of my things.

"So Sere, do you want to start unpacking?" Darien asked.

"Yeah, but we're having music on," I said. I went to put a CD in and it was on of my mix's. the first song was Any Man of Mine by Shina Twain. We started to unpack and I sang along with the CD. The CD had to repeat twice and it was around midnight. "Darien?"

"Hum," he said.

"Let's hit the sack for tonight," I said. I turned off the music and went to the bed room and changed into my Pj's. I lay down on the bed with Dar right next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and I turned around so I faced him and snuggled into him. Then we both fell asleep together. In each others arms.

(The next morning)

I awoke still in Darien's arms and him waking me up. "Good morning Angel" Darien said sweetly.

"Good morning Muffin," I said with sleepiness' in my voice.

"What do you want for breakfast?" he asked.

"Hum, I want tacos," I said.



"Kay, I will make you some tacos. While you get ready for the day," said Darien.

"Kay," I said. "I wanted tacos not pancakes."

"Well we don't have anything for tacos," said Darien.

"Fine," I said with a grumpy face. We ate and then he got ready and dropped me off at Andrew's then head to work.

(On the way to the Storage area)

"Andrew?" I asked.

"Yea," he said.

"How do you think everybody will react to the mansion?" I asked.

"I really don't know Sere," he said, "it will probably depend on who you specifically worried about." There was silence for a minute. "Sere, are you worried about how Darien will react?"

"Well kind of, yeah," I said.

"Serena don't worry about it, it will be fine. He'll more likely just ask why you didn't tell him about it." Andy said.

"Yeah, Andy your right, I really shouldn't worry about it," I said. We had just arrived at the mansion. We unload every thing in to the house and went back out to the car and drove back in to town. Andrew dropped me off at home.
