Darien! Please, come save me! What do I do? Serena frantically tried to move so that she could either scream or try to hurt him by kicking him, but the stranger had her pinned to the wall, effectively cutting off all means of defense on her part. She racked her brain for ideas, but nothing came to mind because she wan't really in a position to do anything damaging to her captor. Just then, the stranger removed his hand, and turned her around. What is this guy doing? She thought as she was whirled around.

"Darien!" She exclaimed when she saw who it was holding her as a prisoner. Shock, then anger followed her exclamation. "Just what the heck do you think you are doing? I thought that you were someone trying to rob me! You idiot! I think you scared five years off of my life! I ought to murder you!" She raised her fists to start pounding him, but he held her off.

"Whoa! Calm down! I just wanted to catch up with you before you went inside." Taking a deep breath, he said, "Serena, you know I don't like Raye! I like only you! You're my favorite Serena in the whole wide world, and there's nothing anyone can do about it!" He paused, waiting for a response of any kind. Hello! Are you even listening to me?

Aw! It's so hard to stay mad at him! Especially because he's so cute when he gets mad or frusterated! Wait a second! I need to make him suffer a little, especially for all the pain and suffering I went through! "Oh really. Then explain to me why you were grabbing her closer!"

"What! If anything, I was trying to get her as far away as possible! Never, ever, I repeat NEVER, do I want her closer to me!" Darien explained, starting to get angry again.

Sounds like he means it. Let's test it. "Darien, I'm sorry, but I just don't know. You seemed to enjoy holding her and kissing her." Before he could interrupt, she held up her hand and went on. "I think we need some separation time." As she said this, she turned to leave. Darien, please don't disappoint me now!

Darien was fed up with Serena. Did I just hear her right?! Separation time!? What the heck's her problem? I'm not taking this from her just because that woman had to come on to me! I've been Mr. Nice Guy for long enough! He watched her leave, and decided he'd let her know right now just exactly how he felt about their "separation" time. Yeah, well, you ain't gonna get it, Sweetheart! He grabbed her arm and pinned her back against the wall again. "You see? This is exactly what happened when Raye cornered me. She grabbed me, then pinned me against the wall, cornering me like a lion moving in for the kill. And I reacted in the same manner you are doing right now: pushing, kicking, fighting. I didn't want to be held there against the wall, but she pressed closer to me, like this." He moved in closer, pressing all of his hard body parts to all of her soft ones. "Just before you came in, she was bragging about how much more a "woman" she is compared to you." He brought his face closer to her ear. "She said you weren't a good kisser, which I denied right away." He kissed the sensitive spot behind her ear, and smiled when she shivered. "She then had the stupidest idea that she could kiss me, but I assure you, my idea to kiss you isn't as stupid as her wanting to kiss me. He bent his head down and was just a centimeter away when he saw the light from her front porch come on. They jumped apart, and both were a little disappointed that they couldn't finish what Darien had started.
