CHAPTER 3

Serenity pushed open the front door of the house that she shared with her sister Mina and brother Sammy.

"Daddy I'm home". She could out. "I'm sorry I'm late, I was out exploring and there is so much of this area that I have not seen"

She poked her head into the study and saw her father concentrating on something. He waved his hand in the air and went back on working.

Serenity made her way back into the kitchen to prepare their dinner. She and mina took turn in making dinner each night, and it was serenity turn to do it tonight. While she was waiting for the meal to be cooked, she sank down in the chair.

He wanted to marry her.

Surely she must have misheard him. Darien was way out of her league. There was no way he was serious. Well he did kiss her. Serenity touched her lips, not surprise to see that her hands were trembling. There was no way that the kiss could have meant anything to him like it did to her. He was older then her and would have been with dozens of ladies before her.

Her fingers traced out hearts and his name on the wooden table as her mind was back on the afternoon. Darien Endymion Antonio Shield. She wrote on the table.

He was just too good looking for his own good. His jet black hair that was just fell neatly above his shoulder, with the front of his hair just falling over his eyes. The way it falls gave you the excuse to touch him. And his eyes – wow they were just too mysterious and there was mischief behind those eyes. Those eyes were also the type of eyes that should have looked icy, but his personality kept them warm. His body, serenity blush at that mere thought. She knew that she shouldn't think about that kind of things but she couldn't help it. She wanted to touch his body and feel them to see if it was a tone body. It looked like he was made out if stone. Well he should have been. He was like a statue brought to life, a beautiful statue.

"What are you doing Serenity?"

Serenity looked up to see her sister mina in the doorway. "Oh, hello Mina."

Mina, younger then serenity by a couple of months crossed the room and picked up serenity hand of the table. "You are going to get splinters from doing that."

Mina dropped serenity hand and sat down across from her.

Serenity looked at her sister but only saw Darien. The lazy grin that lit up his eyes and the way the wind moved through his hair.

"Serenity"

Serenity looked up blankly at her sister. "Did you say something?"

"I was asking you- for the second time- if you wanted to come with me tomorrow to shops tomorrow?"

Serenity nodded "yes, yes…. I can come" she replied staring into no where.

"….. In love?"

She looked up and saw mina smiling. "What!"

"I said are you in love?"

Serenity looked down trying to hide her blush from her sister. "I don't know what you are talking about"

"Then why aren't you looking at me"

She knew that there was no way that she can lie to mina. For some odd reason her sister can sense these things and never once had she ever made a mistake and seeing who belong together.

"Oh Mina" serenity sighed

"Don't tell anyone, but yes I do think I am in love. he is everything I could ever wish for and more"

"Oooohhh do tell" Mina said with a big smile on her face.

"What's his name? is he good looking? And does he have a brother or cousin???"

Serenity laughed. Trust Mina to ask that.

"Mina he is the most gorgeous person I have ever seen. Like one of those greek gods. And no, he doesn't have a brother. Not sure about the cousin, but I am sure there is a friend in there somewhere."

"Mmm really? Well find out for me or else I will tell dad."

"Hey that is not far. Why would you do that. You know that I would never leave you out." Serenity said with a pout.

"I know but all is fair in love and war." Mina replied back and sticking her tongue at serenity.

"So what is this guy name?"

"Darien shield"

"WHAT!"

Mina looked like her eyes were going to pop out of her head.

"Serenity, your right he is a god. But you do realise that he is way out of our league right. Plus dad is working for his family."

Serenity nodded her head. She knew that Mina was right.

"I know Mina, but I have never felt this way towards anyone. He feels the same."

Mina saw the love that was in her sister eyes and knew that her gut was telling her that serenity has found something worth wild.

"Be careful, but I am happy for you. Just don't do anything stupid."

Serenity went up and hugged Mina. "Thankyou, I knew that you would be alright with this."

"I can see that you are happy. So he can't be that bad." Serenity laughed at Mina words. No he wasn't bad at all. Just Mr Right, her Mr Right.

It took serenity hours before she could go to sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about Darien. But when she did, she was dreaming of him. He was kissing her. Gently on the lips and then travelling along her cheeks. He was whispering her name.

"Serenity…"

"Serenity…"

Serenity came suddenly awake.

"Serenity…"

Was she still dreaming?

"Serenity…"

She scrambled out from under her covers and peered out the window that was beside her bed.

He was there.

"Darien!"
