CHAPTER 3

Beep…Beep…Beep…Beep…

Serena groaned it was her alarm clock again and she knew it was time for her to get up and go over to D&D and meet up with Darien Shield. "I don't want to see that BLOODY MORON!" Serena yelled. Lucky heard Serena yell and quickly jumped up on the bed and looked at Serena. Serena laughed. "Yes Lucky I know I have to go to work…" Serena said giving Lucky a big hug before letting go and getting out of bed. Serena walked into the bathroom and took a long and relaxing shower, she needed the shower to wake her up and get her through the long day ahead of her. Serena got out of the shower and walked to her wardrobe and chose a crème color jacket which had a matching pair of pants. Serena then grabbed one of her favorite Burberry white shirt and got dressed. She then did her usual make up and looked at her watch "CRAP!" Serena said out loud she was going to be late again it was already five to nine. 'Why didn't I get up earlier?' Serena thought angrily to herself as she walked out and rushed to her car and drove to D&D.

"That means I have to skip breakfast AGAIN!" Serena groaned as she got out of her car and walked up to D&D's office. In the elevator Serena sighed she didn't know why and what she was doing there, she didn't want to be here she was in no mood to talk to that moron! Angrily she walked into the office and gave the secretary a small smile. "Good morning I'm here to see Mr. Shield I have an appointment with him." The secretary gave Serena a big smile and then stood up. "You must be Ms. Tsukino, I'm Ruby Mr. Shield is waiting for you in his office." Ruby said with a smile as she led the way to Darien's office. "This is Sandy, Mr. Shield's secretary she'd be able to help you from here." Serena gave Ruby a polite smile and then gave Sandy a small smile. "Oh you must be Ms. Tsukino, you're late that's not the way to go, Mr. Shield hates people being late." Sandy said sternly. Serena started to feel anger build up in her. 'What the hell! This so what 'secretary' is telling me of! What the!' Serena took a deep breathe. "I'm so sorry for being late, I was held up by traffic, is Mr. Shield ready to see me?" Serena asked a bit impatiently.

Sandy made a clicking noise mumbled "So impatient" underneath her breathe. "Come in" Serena heard a male voice say. She knew it was going to be a long morning. Sandy opened the door and smiled at Darien, "The blonde bunny you were talking about yesterday is here." Sandy announces motioning Serena to walk in. 'Blonde bunny? WTF! I'm not a freaking bunny! Calm Serena CALM!' Serena sighed then walked in and gave Darien a fake smile. "Good morning Mr. Shield, I'm sorry for being so late, I was held up by traffic." Serena said politely. Darien smirked. "Well I'm sure Sandy here has already told you off that I don't particularly like people being late and considering the fact that you are 10 minutes late, but that's okay since I was so late yesterday I guess we're even then blonde bunny" Serena immediately glared at Darien. "Excuse Mr. Shield but why are you calling me 'Blonde Bunny' first of all, so what if I'm blonde you don't need to remind me every three second, secondly I am NOT a bunny so I'd much prefer if you called me Ms. Tsukino." Serena said feeling her face go red. Darien chuckled and then stood up and walked over to Serena and looking straight into her eye. "So why can't I call you Serena?" Darien said in a husky voice stealing a glance at what Serena was wearing. He personally preferred the skirt which showed off Serena's long legs but he still liked what she wore, especially the white shirt which gave him a good view of her chest as he was so much taller than her. Serena stared into Darien's eyes and it was then that she realized he had the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. She swallowed and then took a step back.

"So why don't we talk about business, where do you want to start?" Serena asked sitting down on the couch and opened her briefcase. 'Why is my heart beating so much? I must be crazy!' Serena thought to herself. Darien grinned he knew she felt something for him. 'Like usual and just like the other girls they all fall me instantly, but they say they don't always playing hard to get.' Darien thought to himself. Hmmm…talk about big ego . Serena grabbed the proposal and started explaining the marketing plans she had designed for D&D to help them gain a larger Market Share. Darien sat down and stared at Serena as she started to explain everything, but he wasn't paying any attention to what she was saying, instead he was being paying attention to her, the way she talked, the way she breathed and the way batted her eye lashes and licked her lips unconsciously.

In the beginning, she wanted to ignore him and just continued with what she was doing and just get this over and done with and then go back and grab something to eat, she was starving. After 15 minutes of talking and Darien doing nothing but staring at him, Serena started to feel very agitated. 'This moron he tells me off for being late and then what does he do? He just sits there staring at me MORON!' Finally after a while Serena had had enough she closed her file and slammed it on the coffee table. It startled Darien and he looked at Serena with a goofy grin on his face. Serena was about to explode, she was ugly, tired and just wanted to go back to her office and not have to put up with this idiot. "MR. SHIELD so what do you think of the proposal is there anything you'd like to add or change?" Serena asked in a very annoyed tone. Darien smirked. "I would if you'd speak a bit slower and could you please concentrate more, because you were talking so quick and you didn't seem very concentrated so I didn't understand what you were trying to say, could you please repeat what you said?" Serena's eye widened. 'What the hell! This moron had just wasted nearly half an hour of my time! And now he wants me to repeat it! I wasn't concentrating he's the one who's not concentrating!' Serena closed her eyes for a second, took a deep breathe before glaring at Darien and then said through clenched teeth "Sure…" Serena began repeating what she had just said but after around five minutes, Serena was about to explode. Here he asks her to repeat everything she had just said but he's not even paying attention. 'That's it!' Serena thought as she stood up and slammed the file into Darien's chest and then glared at him. "That's it! Mr. Shield since you seem a bit occupied I'm not going to waste any more of your time, please have a look at the proposal when you have time and contact me if you any ideas about it. Well, thanks for having me here today see you" Serena said in a monotone grabbing her suitcase. Darien laughed; he had never seen a girl like her before, so short tempered. "Why what's the matter Ms. Tsukino." Darien said grabbing Serena's arm not letting her go. Serena couldn't stand it. "I HAVE BEEN AS PATIENT AS I CAN WITH YOU! Okay so I got here late big deal you were so late yesterday, so I start telling you about the proposal and you do NOTHING but stare at me! I don't care for whatever reason you were staring at me fine I ignore. You then tell me to freaking REPEAT everything EVERYTHING I just said to you! Look if you aren't interested in doing business together that's fine just don't WASTE my time!" Serena yelled out of breathe when she finished. Darien just stood there watching Serena have another outburst, he was loving every second of it, and he loved seeing her get all angry and yell at him.

After regaining her composure she glared at Darien and then said "Let go of…" That was when a big growl erupted from Serena stomach, she immediately turned beetroot, while Darien was sitting there holding onto his stomach as he couldn't stop laughing. Serena had hardly been this embarrassed 'What do I do now? This is SO embarrassing!' After a few moments of uncontrollable laughter Darien was finally able to talk while trying to stop laughing. "So Ms. Tsukino I see you must be so hungry" Serena turned beetroot and then turned around. "What! Haven't you ever seen someone hungry!" Darien began laughing again. Serena bit her lip and then turned around. "YOU SHUT UP AND STOP LAUGHING! WANKER! It's all your fault that I'm so hungry! I was rushing over here so I didn't have the time to have breakfast! You see unlike someone else I'm very serious about my job!" Serena exclaimed. Darien took a few breathes before he could talk again. "Okay Blonde Bunny, why don't I buy you breakfast and then we could talk about work and other things." Darien said standing up and lazily put his arm over Serena's shoulder. Serena shrugged his arm off and took a few steps away from him. "No thanks, Mr. Arrogant I don't want to have breakfast with you." Serena took a step forward and pointed a finger at Darien. "Look MORON I don't care if you have woman throwing themselves at you just to have breakfast with you and then sleep with you. I have told you before I am NOT one of those sluts! So save the sweet talk and charm for someone else!" Serena then glared at Darien for the last time before storming out of his office.

Darien couldn't stop laughing after Serena had left, Sandy couldn't help but open the door and glared at her manager. "So what are you laughing at?" Sandy asked. Darien looked up at his secretary slash cousin and smiled. "Oh nothing, just didn't think someone could look be so cute when they were so annoyed." Sandy smiled. "Hmmm…does that mean someone's falling in love?" Darien smirked. "Well, I'm not so sure, but anything could happen." Sandy laughed. "Geez, Darien it's so obvious that you want her, anyways, I'm hungry now but I'm going out for lunch oh and I won't be back till around 3 so see you!" Sandy said with a smile as she walked out and grabbed her bag. Darien shook his head, if it wasn't because Sandy was his cousin he would've sacked her ages ago, sure she did her job but at the same time she slacked off heaps.

Serena stormed into her office and then slammed the door; Molly had never really seen Serena that angry and didn't want to bother her.

Beep. "Molly, I don't want to see or talk to anyone!" Serena said through the intercom. "Sure thing, but Serena are you okay?" Molly asked. Serena didn't even bother replying she was sooooo pissed off it wasn't funny. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. Serena groaned. "I don't want to see anyone MOLLY!" Serena yelled. The person behind the door laughed and then opened the door. "Oh… so you don't love me anymore?" The man asked with a big smile. Serena looked up and her face immediately brightened. "Seiya! What are you doing here?" Serena said running over to Seiya and jumping on him. Seiya laughed, and returned the hug. "Well, missed you, my favorite girl." Serena rested her head on Seiya's chest and relaxed for a moment. Anyone who saw Seiya and Serena the way they were, would've guessed they were a couple, and no doubt would they make a fine couple but…unfortunately Seiya is gay and had no interested in woman. "So why are you so cranky today? That time of the month?" Seiya asked. Serena shook her head and let go of Seiya and sat down on the couch. "NO! AHHH don't even get my started! Have you heard of Darien Shield?" Seiya placed himself next to Serena and placed his arm around her. "Isn't he the CEO of D&D? I heard he's pretty hot and gentleman" Seiya replied wriggling his eyebrows. "OMG! Do NOT tell me he's hot and is a gentleman, I want to kill him every time I see him! He is the biggest moron I have ever seen!" After telling what everything had happened between Darien and her, Seiya chuckled. "Sere I haven't seen you so angry for so long, but you want to know the truth?" Serena looked at Seiya confused. "Well to tell you the truth I think you have feelings for him" Seiya said with a grin on his face. Serena pulled away from Seiya and then glared at him. "WHAT FEELNGS! Yeah feelings such as hatred!" Seiya shook his head. "Serena you may not feel it but... from what you've told me and the way you've been acting I seriously think you have feelings for him." Serena shot up and screamed "I DO NOT FREAKING LIKE DARIEN SHIELDS!" Seiya was taken back by the way Serena reacted and that was when he was determined Serena had feelings for Darien. "Look Sere you can be in denial but don't say I never told you, anyways, let's go and grab something to eat, let me guess you skipped breaky again?" Serena blushed. "How did you know?" Seiya smiled. "I know everything come on, let's go!" Seiya said grabbing Serena's hand and leading her out.

Thanks a lot everyone for the reviews! And I'm still SO SORRY for not being able to make it better, and I'd love to double space it but I'd like to ask how I do that? Cause, I double spaced it in Word but when I upload it, it doesn't work please help! Once again I'd like to apologize SORRY!
