UNCHARTED WATERS
Chapter 3 – The Idea
January 7 Lynnwood High School - Lunch
Serena walked into the cafeteria with her purse in hand. She scanned the large room filled with students shuffling around the long rectangular tables. She had decided to have some pizza today. Cheese pizza was just what she needed to brighten her day. As she walked to that specific line, she spotted her friends sitting at 'their' table. The table they had been sitting at since the first day of freshman year.
Mina was the first to see Serena walking across the lunch room. Mina Aino, the blonde haired, blue eyed, bomb shell beauty. She could be Serena's twin. There were only three things that really distinguished one from the other. Serena was slightly shorter than Mina, in fact she was the shortest of all her friends. Mina wore her hair differently as well. She liked her hair half up and tied with a red bow. The rest would fall past her back. Lastly, her eyes were a darker shade of blue than Serena's. The color orange always seemed to compliment her complexion. Today was no different. She wore an orange, spaghetti strapped dress that went to just above her knees. She had white sandals on to match the white trimming on her dress. Mina waved when she saw Serena.
Serena lifted her hand in response as Lita Kino turned to see Mina wave, then spotted Serena waiting in line. Lita smiled and waved too. Lita was the tall one, not only in their group, but also in school. She was taller than all girls and only shorter than a dozen guys. Saying that people were intimidated by her would be an understatement. Not only was she tall, standing at 5'11, but she was in great shape. A very shapely body that was blessed with a generous bust. She had bright hazel green eyes and brown hair which was always held up in the classic 'pony tail.' Serena saw that Lita had on her favorite green shirt-like type vest with tan pants that hugged her figure perfectly.
Ami, who had been studying while eating her cheese burger, looked up then turned around to see Serena as well. She nudged Raye and they both waved, at least until Raye yelled, "HURRY UP MEATBALL HEAD!" Ami frowned, her ocean blue eyes filling with apologies for Raye's lack of an indoor voice. Ami got up and walked toward Serena. She had on a long dark blue jean skirt with a white button up shirt. Her dark bluish, black hair was cut short to fit her face. 'Ami could get any guy if she wasn't so shy,' Serena smirked. Ami came to stand face to face with Serena, as they were the same height.
"Hey, Sere, how are you?" Ami asked pleasantly.
"Hungry," Serena grumbled. "I wish this line would move faster."
Ami smiled, "Only two more people left until you get your pizza."
"Hmm." Serena noticed Ami's sudden down cast eyes, "What is it Ames?"
"I knew."
"You knew what?" Serena looked at the lunch lady, smiled, and pointed to the over sized slice of cheese pizza. After the lunch lady handed her the plate, she scooted to grab a chocolate milk; then waited as she was rung up. "Well?"
"I know about Dar- I mean Mr. Shields coming," she spoke quietly.
Serena paused before she paid, "What do you mean you knew? How could you not tell me?" she was trying to keep her voice low.
"Well, you know how I do extra work for the office in the mornings? That's when I heard the secretaries talking about it. I wasn't sure it was the same guy. Then, I thought you'd think of it as a nice surprise,"
"Yeah, I was surprised alright," she said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry Sere"
"Oh, Ames, it's fine. You couldn't have really known. Besides I have an idea," Serena's excited voice had Ami arching a brow.
They reached the table with the other three girls staring at them curiously. Serena sat down and before she could put her things on the table, the waiting girls erupted; all speaking at once.
"So is it true?"
"Is it him, is he your Darien?"
"Spill Serena!"
Serena looked at all the girls before speaking calmly, "Darien isn't mine," she paused as she took a bit, chewed, and swallowed a piece of pizza, "Yet."
"WHAT?" her best friends looked at her in complete shock.
"He's your teacher," Ami exclaimed.
"Do you even know how old he is?" Raye questioned.
"Guy can't be more than 25," Lita quipped in.
"Oh, how romantic!" Mina said with dream filled eyes.
"Serena, you can't be serious," the blue haired girl pleaded.
"Yeah, Serena, that's illegal. You could get him and you into a shit load of trouble!" Raye roared.
Serena glanced around. "Geez, talk louder next time, I don't think the principle heard you in his office!" Serena scolded.
Raye was about to start another one of their fights when Lita cut in, "Come on guys, chill out."
"Yeah, Serena would never do anything that stupid," Mina supplied while looking at her twin for confirmation.
"I didn't say I was going to fuck him. You guys just assumed that. What the hell is up with people and assuming shit? I just want to flirt with him a little. Now that's not illegal is it?" she spat out as she got up and gathered her purse and empty plate.
"Where are you going?" Lita asked, sensing she was a little annoyed with them.
"I told some of the swimmers I would meet with them at the pool before lunch is over," she turned to leave, but turned back. "Swim practice. Don't be late," Serena headed for the trash can then the door.
Mina jumped up and caught Serena before she stepped out of the cafeteria. "Are you okay?"
"Yes."
"Sere."
Serena sighed and looked at her friend with a smile, "Mina I'm fine, really."
"Okay," she didn't sound convinced. "We just care ya know? We don't want you to get hurt."
"I know. I promise I'm fine."
"Okay. Promise you won't do anything you'll regret?"
"I'll try," Serena gave her a wink.
They both giggled as Mina gave her a hug. "See ya later Sere."
"Bye," Serena ran towards the swimming pool.
Night, January 8 – Red Heat
Darien sat at a round table with his friends. Music was blaring inside the walls of the ever so popular club, Red Heat. He looked past his friends to see people sweating while they were bumping and grinding to the beat. He lifted his glass and slowly finished the last sips of his beer.
"Where's Chad?" Darien asked loudly so he could be heard over the music.
"He's coming, relax. Trying to get drunk?" Ken, the 6'4 brown haired, light blue eyed, well built principle, informed.
Darien grunted. Chad, tall, with shoulder length brown hair and eyes to match, had just started working at the club as a bartender. Since Chad was their friend, he often spoiled them with them with free drinks. That is, when he wasn't getting mobbed by women asking him to take a break and dance.
Darien tried to find Chad in the crowd, but it was of no use. There were practically no lights in the club except for the flashing lights that danced around the room and bounced against the blood red walls. Mix that with bodies moving this way then that, it was almost impossible to find anyone.
"Here ya go fellas," Chad had come up behind Darien and set a tray of a drinks in the middle of the table.
"Finally."
"What's wrong with him?" the bartender nodded towards the grouch.
"Oh, he's just whining because he's getting blue balls over this blonde u-"
"Shut the hell up Andrew!" Darien rudely cut off Andrew Furuhata. The other playboy. He had blonde short hair and green eyes. His height met that of Darien's 6'2.
"Woah, what?" Zack Zoe asked as he joined the conversation.
"What took you so long?" Ken looked at the 5'10 man with dark brown hair and equally dark eyes.
"Traffic," Zack stated as he took off his coat, sat down, and reached for a beer. "So Darien is getting denied? I never thought I'd see the day," he laughed.
"Who's giving you blue balls?" Ken took a beer off the tray.
"No one," Darien said flatly.
"Sarah.. no, Se… Serena, yeah that's her name," Andrew chipped in.
"Drew!" Darien boomed.
"Serena who? Where'd you meet her?" Zack arched a questioning brow.
"He met her at my party, but now he gets to see her hot ass everyday at sch-"
"Drew, I swear if you don't shut up, I'll pull your tongue out through your ass!" he huffed.
"Serena, huh? Where do you see her Darien?" unfortunately for Darien, Ken was excellent at piecing things together. Things such as, a student named Serena at his school, had blonde hair, could see Darien everyday during school, and she was beautiful.
"No where," Darien tried to avoid making eye contact.
"Come on Dare, you know we won't stop bugging you," Chad said as he leaned against the table.
"This is my business. Why should I fucking tell you?"
"Quite being a little bitch and just come out with it."
Darien narrowed his eyes at Ken. "I met Serena Tsukino at Drew's New Years party," he said calmly.
"You want to fuck a student that attends my high school?!" Ken practically yelled.
Zack nearly choked on his beer as Chad's eyes grew wide.
"How old she?" Zack was now very curious.
"I didn't say anything about fucking her and I have no idea how old she is. She could be 18 and an adult already for all I know," Darien pointed out.
"Or she could still be a minor," Ken argued.
"Man, that's some jail bait shit right there," Chad chimed in.
"You know what happens when you drop the soap in prison, Darien? You get screwed," Andrew chuckled.
"Shit, Dare this is really going to look bad on me, you fucking one of my students. I'm the one that hired you," Ken added.
"Would you guys just back the fuck off. I said nothing about fucking her!"Darien took a sip of his half drunken beer.
"Calm down, Darien, we are just messing with you. We know you wouldn't do anything with her," Andrew reassured everyone.
"Alright guys, as much as I would like to stay here and discuss Dare's fantasy; I got to get back to work. Later, "Chad broke the silence.
The tension broke as Chad disappeared. The four remaining men decided to finish their drinks then prowl the dance floor in search of dance partners and a little promiscuity.
January 9 - Lynnwood High School 5:45p.m.
Serena had been standing in front of her locker for the past minute trying to get the thing open. It was 45 minutes since the school had officially closed for the day. As usual, she stayed after swim practice to do more laps by herself. She loved her team, but swimming alone in the pool always relaxed her. This practice had been especially trying since her friends still wouldn't let off about her little 'idea.' Now she was tired, hungry, and ready to go home.
She grunted in frustration. Finally she decided to try a new method. She spun her code again, pulled the handle up, then kicked the locker; hard, and tugged on the door. The locker flew open. 'Thank God,' she thought relieved. Serena busied herself with figuring out which subjects she had homework in then putting her books in her bag.
Darien had been going over lesson plans for his classes when he heard a loud bang in the hall. He walked to the door, opened it slightly and peeked out. About 20 feet away he saw Serena wearing her white zip up hoodie with light gray sweat pants. He noticed her hair was still very wet. 'That's odd,' he thought, 'Ken said all practices ended at 5 when the school closed.' Darien looked at the clock. So what was she still doing here?
Since their conversation after class two days ago, Serena had been avoiding him. She wouldn't even look at him during class. When he had tried to go up to her during passing period to ask for her help on what he should focus on for future lessons, she spotted him and walked away. 'Well, no time like the present to try again,' he mused to himself.
He walked into the hall and stood right beside her. Unfortunately she was too occupied being bent over trying to shove her last book in her bag to notice his arrival. 'What an ass!" Even through her baggy sweat pants, he could easily see its nice round shape. Darien tried to clear his thoughts.
"Ms. Tsukino?"
Serena jumped about three feet in the air and turned around. She came face to face with Darien, or rather face to chest. He was so close she could smell his scent. Roses.
"Where the hell did you come from?" she asked, her heart still racing.
Darien arched a brow, "My class room. What are you doing here?"
"Getting my things," Serena was glad her breathing was back to normal.
He leaned his shoulder against the locker and folded his arms across his chest. After eyeing her back pack, he brought his gaze back to hers. "The school is closed."
"Really," she said flatly.
"No students are suppose to be in the buildings after school hours," he stated matter-of-factly.
"Well, then it's a good thing no students are here then huh?"
"You're a student."
"You don't miss a thing do you?" Serena's voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"If you don't tell me what you're doing here, I'll have to report you to the principle for not following the rules," he had a slight smile on his face.
Serena scoffed at him, "Okay, but if you did that you'd look like a real idiot… again."
"How's that?"
She pulled out a key from her pocket, "I have permission from my coach and Principle Gale to stay here after school hours so I can do extra laps in the pool."
"I see, so you're finished with your work out for the day?"
"Yep."
"Good, then I'm sure you wouldn't mind helping with my lessons for a few minutes. I just need to know what you guys have already covered."
She turned to face her locker to finish packing up. She zipped her back pack.
"Serena."
"Oh, it's 'Serena' now, is it Mr. Shields?
Before Serena even knew he moved, Darien picked up her back pack and gym bag then headed for his class room.
"Hey!" Serena grabbed her purse, shut her locker, then started to follow him. She paused and gathered her thoughts. She was going to be alone in a class room with Darien. Alone. Serena smiled. Maybe her plan could work. She strolled to the classroom to see Darien erasing the board. Her bags were on one of the desks in the middle of the front row. She closed the door before she went and sat on top of the next desk then unzipped her hoodie. This was going to be very interesting.
After Darien finished erasing the board, he turned to face Serena. The sight before him was not one he was expecting. Serena sat on top of a desk with her hoodie unzipped with only a pink sports bra underneath. He could see her full, perky breasts and her flat toned stomach.
"I'm hot," Serena gave a small smile, "What did you need help with Mr. Shields?"
Was she teasing him? "Do you want me open a window?"
"Sure, thanks," she gave him a sly smile. He would have to walk past her to get to the window.
At last some blood was returning to his brain and he realized he would have to walk right past her to open the window. 'Stupid,' Darien thought as he started walking in that direction, 'Just keep looking forward, just keep looking forward,' he chanted.
As he walked by Serena, she stuck her left leg straight out to stop him in mid-stride. "Actually, my body seems to be cooling off already," she gave him a sweet smile as he turned to her.
They were close, too close. He went to move away, but she put her small hands on his chest and slid them over his abdomen. "Serena?" he tried to look into her eyes, but her gaze was fixed on his chest.
"Hmm?" she replied quietly.
"What are you doing?" he asked as he unconsciously took a step towards her, closing the very small gap between them and slightly leaned forward.
"Nothing," Serena muttered. She could feel his hardened muscles under her fingers. Feel them slightly jump whenever she touched them.
"Serena, we can't," Darien whispered, attempting to move her hands.
"It's okay, no one has to know," she breathed.
"You're not even 18 are you?"
"Soon. How old are you?"
"Just turned 25. You're not even an adult."
"I will be soon enough," she whispered as she scooted to the edge of the desk pushing against him and pressing a kiss at the base of his neck.
Darien looked into her eyes and saw exactly what he felt, desire. He leaned down capturing her soft lips with his own. God, her lips felt good. He swept the tip of his tongue along her bottom lip, asking for entrance; in which she eagerly obliged. He ran his tongue against the top of her teeth before battling with her tongue for control. She tasted so sweet, almost like chocolate.
Serena moaned into Darien's mouth as she felt his hands rake up her thighs and over her hips. One had went to rest on her lower back while the other hand slowly made its way up her stomach until he reached her breasts. He kneaded one breast, found the nipple and lightly squeezed. Serena moaned as her back arched and her leg came around his thigh. She could feel warmth at the pit of her stomach when his erection pressed against her.
"Mmmm," she moaned
Darien moved his hand to her other breast and gave it the same attention. When he found her hardened nipple and gave it a soft twist, Serena broke the kiss as she gasped for air. Her breathing labored, she tilt her head back, and left her neck exposed to Darien. He trailed kisses from her lips to her neck. Placing a wet kiss, sucking, and nibbling on the pulsating part of her neck. Just as Darien was trailing his tongue down towards her breasts, they heard loud rolling wheels echoing through the halls. Breaking them out of their trance, they both looked disoriented for a moment.
"What the..," Serena began.
"Shit, I bet that's the janitor. You shouldn't be here with the door closed?" Darien's breath was uneven as he looked at Serena and their intimately tangled bodies.
"Oops," she remembered closing the door. "That's okay, I was just leaving."
She hopped off the desk and zipped up her hoodie. After grabbing her bags and purse she headed towards the window.
"What are you doing?" he asked quickly.
"The janitor can't see me here this late with you. I'm always out of here before 6," the clock read 6:13 but Darien didn't look convinced she should use the window. "It's okay, my car is this way anyway. Besides we are on the first floor and there's no bushes, see," she pointed at the window.
Darien opened the window to look out and see that she was right. He picked her up and set her on the ground on the other side of the widow. He gathered her stuff then handed them to her.
"See you tomorrow Serena," he said.
"Yep," she leaned back in the window to and gave him a peck on the lips. As she turned to leave he grabbed her wrist lightly.
"We can't tell anyone."
"I know," she met his gaze then was gone, running across the grass towards the parking lot.
Darien shut the window. Walking back to his desk, he started packing his things.
'Shit, what did I just do?' he thought as the janitor came in to take out the trash.
AN: hey guys! What did you think? Did you like it?? R/R! I hope you enjoyed it!
Will Darien regret what happened between him and Serena? How does Serena feel about what they did?
Stay tuned!
