Disclaimer:: I do not own any of the Sailor Moon characters. I only own the ones I made.
So, I know it's a new story and normally I would just wait to see if anyone reviews for the first chapter, but I had two chapters ready, so thought I should just put it up. I really hope it is good enough, but if not, I will just make it a shorter story then planned. I won't quit it, but I will just not make it out to be big.
Also, I forgot to put that the last chapter was in Serena's POV. Sorry if it was confusing! I'll remember from now on!
Hope you enjoy! :)
Chapter 2 – A New Surprise
Third POV
"He was just acting so strangely today, ever since his sextoy left this morning. I guess she must have thought she was the only one or something." Serena explained to Andrew, hoping he could help her clear things up.
"Well, maybe he's just had a change of heart. Or maybe after the two girls left, your reaction made him realize you could hear what was going on and he felt bad." Andrew answered her.
After a moment, he changed his tone to a sarcastic and dreamy voice and said, "Or maybe, just maybe, coming out of his office and lying his eyes onto your beautiful eyes and face, he realized he has loved you all along."
At the end, he and I couldn't help but burst out into laughter.
"I love talking to you. You take the edge off of things." Serena said, smiling.
Andrew puffed out his chest and held up his chin and replied, "Glad I could be of assistance, young maiden. It is what I do. I ceer up my best friend and help her with her daughter and brother." He smiled and slouched back to how he originally sat.
"Thank you so much for everything. I'd be lost if I didn't have you, Andrew." Serena said, as she grabbed and held his hand. "And to be honest, I think I might... Well I might.." She cut off and blushed.
"What is it?" Andrew asked, hoping it was what he thought it was.
"Well, I just might..love you." She finished, looking down, wishing she had left her hair down so it could cover her face.
Andrew smiled and held her chin up, and said, "I have loved you since I first saw you come into the diner to get your first milkshake."
When he finished, he kissed her lightly on the lips, and then looked down into her eyes, and said, "I mean it."
Serena looked up into his eyes and hers were beaming as she asked, "Even though I was five months pregnant and waddling in here?" She giggled.
"Even though you were five months pregnant and beautifully waddling in. I have always loved you and how strong you have been through all your challenges." Andrew said, and leant down to kiss her.
Just then, her timer went off, telling her it was time to leave.
"Darn" she whispered and smiled. "I'll see you when I get off work. Tell Jack and Rini that I love them."
"Will do." Andrew answered, grabbing her into a hug and kissing the top of her head. "Don't let that jerk get you upset today. Just remember" he pulled back to look into her eyes, "I love you."
Serena giggled and pulled him into one last kiss before having to leave.
-Back at work-
She didn't notice how late she was until she walked into the office and saw Darien standing there, waiting. She didn't know how much her extra time spent at the diner and the daydreaming during the walk back had delayed her. She looked at the clock and saw that she was 15 minutes late.
She turned back to Darien and began apologizing when he put up his hand to silence her and slowly walked to her.
"My father gave you this job even though you had a baby. He treated you like family and even let you bring your baby to work. He made sure I wouldn't fire you when I took over the company when he was on his deathbed. And this is how you repay him? By slacking off and being late?" He said, getting louder and angrier as he went on.
Serena was surprised and hurt by this. She had never been so careless before and feared losing her job. She dropped to her knees and began sobbing uncontrollingly, feeling like the failure her father had called her everyday since she was 14.
Damon chuckled and said, "I'm only joking, meatball head. I wondered when you would make your first mistake. You're always so..punctual and you work so hard. It was getting boring for me. It's nice to see that you're human and not a robot."
Serena couldn't believe her ears. She looked up at him and sniffled. He could see how surprised she was and knelt down to wipe the tears from her eyes. "I'm sorry I scared you. I just wanted to have a little fun. I should have been more thoughtful."
Darien stood back up and offered his hand to help her up. She took his hand and stood up, surprised that he was being so nice to her for once. As soon as the surprise settled, Serena hurried over to her desk to begin working. It took a minute for her to notice that Darien hadn't moved much, and just stood there watching her, looking as if he wanted to say something.
"Is something wrong?" she asked him, and sat there waiting for an answer.
After a few moments, Darien walked over to her, carrying one of the waiting chairs with him and sat next to her.
"I want to apologize. First, for scaring you, but also for these three years. I have been a horrible boss, using you as an errand girl." He paused, looking uncomfortable, then continued. "I am also sorry for all the girls I have brought in and out everyday. I didn't realize, or even care for that matter, that you could hear it. It was inconsiderate and unprofessional of me. And I hope that you will forgive my behavior."
He finished speaking and just looked at her, hoping for forgiveness. He looked into her blue eyes, realizing how beautiful they are and how long and soft-looking her blonde hair looked. All he ever saw was how weird her hair looked in her two ponytails that were balled up at the top.
He didn't realize she had been talking until he heard her ask, "Hello? Can you hear me?"
He snapped out of his thoughts and said, "Sorry, I was just thinking about...how..unique and interesting your hair is. What was it you said?" He looked at her, waiting for her answer.
"I said, I appreciate your apology, and I forgive you. After all, it isn't up to me how you act at work, it is your business, not mine."
Darien was shocked. He had seen her hateful glances these three years and never thought that she would forgive him. He actually believe she would finally be able to make him as miserable as he had made her.
"Well.. Thank you, Serena. I should let you get back to work." He stopped and after thinking for a moment, continued saying, "Actually, you should take the rest of the day off. I have been hard on you and you have worked hard these three years. I will see you in the morning. Have a good day, Miss Tsukino." Darien finished and put the chair where he got it, and went to his office.
Serena sat there, amazed for a minute, wondering if her ears were playing tricks on her, but she was reassured when she heard him say, "I haven't heard you leave. Is everything okay?" from Darien in his office.
Serena replied, saying, "Everything is fine, but I don't need the day off if you need me. I could just be on call or something, in case an important customer comes in or something.."
She gathered her things together and made it to the door. She stopped and stood there for a second before saying, "Thank you, sir."
All Darien could think to say was, "Sure. Now go be with those kids."
Serena smiled, and left to rescue Jack and Rini from the Andrew tickle monster.
-Please review! And let me know if you think it's worth making a long story!-
