Chapter 6 – Decisions

Serena's POV

At 3:00, my alarm went off. The kids were on the way to the diner. I know I probably hurt Andrew by not going there or calling at lunch, but I needed to catch up on my sleep. I was sure he wouldn't be mad. 'I am going in a few hours early, so he should be fine.' I thought to myself.

I got out of bed and rubbed my eyes, hoping not to trip on something.

After making it to my closet without falling, I picked out my favorite outfit. It was a pink t-shirt that was form-fitting with a tight purple skirt that went right above my knees.

I slipped on my black flip flops and ran out the door to my car. It was a 15 minute drive from my house, mostly because I was speeding to get there. I wanted to get there before Jack and Rini got off their bus.

After looking at the clock, I saw I had eight minutes to spare. The bus was always here at exactly 3:30.

I wanted to go in and talk to Andrew first, but decided against it. I would just surprise him after the kids walk in.

I sat there just thinking about what the kids would do when they saw me on the bench at their bus stop. 'Or should I stand up?' I thought to myself, deciding to stand up when they get off the bus.

Suddenly the sound of the bus pulled me out of my thoughts and brought me back to reality. The bus slowly stopped and I stood as I saw my kids going down the steps.

"Mommy!" Rini screamed while she ran to me and jumped in my arms.

"Hey Princess! Surprise, you two!" I hugged her and switched her over onto my hip so I could hug Jack.

I looked down at him and he looked impatient.

"Well, hello there my little knight in shining armor. Can I have a hug?" I said, smiling to him.

After hearing that, his face lit up and he hugged me.

"How was school my little ones?" I asked, sitting down on the bench with them. It had been a long time since we had mommy-kid time.

"I had a great day. And so did Jack, huuuuh Jack?" Rini said, winking at Jack.

He blushed and looked over at Rini, looking like he wanted to cover her mouth before she spoke again. I knew I was missing something when he said, "Shush, Rini."

Rini stuck her tongue out and I grabbed it, as I did everytime. I laughed at said, "One day, I'm going to bite that, babygirl. Now," I let go and Rini laughed, "what is going on between you two?" I asked.

Jack looked at Rini and she sighed and answered for him. "He doesn't want to tell you yet. Sorry mommy."

"Well, as long as you tell me soon, okay Jackle?" I said, and turned to him. He nodded his answer.

"It's time to go into the diner before Andrew freaks out." I announced and laughed.

I remembered the time I had picked up the kids from school for a doctors appointment and Andrew forgot all about it. When the kids never got off the bus at the diner, he called me, freaking out.

He loves these kids and treated them like they were his. I loved how great he was, but I knew he secretly wished Rini could have been his instead of some guy who was never around.

I put Rini down and the two of them ran in with me trailing slowly behind. When I walked in, Andrew came in and was shocked I was there.

And I was scared he would be mad at me.

Andrew's POV

I had been talking to the chef in the back room, waiting for the children. Another minute, I was going to call Serena. It was already 3:35.

Then I heard the door open and rushed to the front of the diner. I saw the kids run in with Serena following behind.

"Did they have an appointment I forgot about?" I asked, confused.

"No. I got off early and waited at their bus stop. We were talking and sitting on the bench. Sorry if we worried you." She answered, looking down at her feet. I could see the fear on her face.

"It's okay, at least their safe. How..how early did you get off today?" I asked, thinking that maybe she worked through lunch so she would be here early.

"I got off around 10:30, but was tired, so I went home to sleep." She answered, still looking down, but the fear on her face grew.

I was shocked. She didn't come by or call or anything. "Oh" was all I could get myself to say.

Serena looked up and walked over to me. "I thought maybe you would forgive me since we still have 3 extra hours. I'm sorry. I was going to call but I was so exhausted." She said, and put her arms around my waist. I was still upset but acted like I was fine.

"I understand. Now," I kissed her. "Let's go tickle the kids."

We went to find the kids and tickled each other and wrestled around until dinner.

Darien's POV

It was hard for me to just watch Serena leave the office, knowing I wouldn't see her the rest of the day. I didn't know what was happening to me, but I knew I was feeling something for Serena. Just friendship, I thought to myself. I am feeling friendship with her because I see her so much throughout the day.

"What is going on with me? I can't stop thinking about her." Darien mumbled to himself. "I think I will go home early as well. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in years, so now may be a good time to catch up."

He got up after finishing the paperwork he had been working on and stretched. He heard his back crack in five different places. "Definitely need to stop sitting so much." he said, and sighed, getting his things together.

"Sir, I was wondering if you'd like any help, seeing as how Miss Tsukino left early." I heard a voice say from my door. I looked up at Setsuna, another secretary from a few offices over.

"It's fine, I was just about to be leaving." I said, realizing how much I would not want someone else doing Serena's job.

"Well, I can do her job better then she can." She whispered, as she began unbuttoning her shirt. "If I was in the same area as you all day like she is," she continued whispering, as she lowered her hands down to her skirt, pulling it down and saying, "I would do this everyday."

I was in shock, not knowing what to do and not moving. I could imagine wanting anyone other then Serena. It was that moment I realized I wanted Serena as mine and only mine. I didn't want anyone else.

This thought pulled me out of my shock and I began gathering my things up quicker and replied, "You need to get dressed and leave my office."

"But you know you want this. You haven't had anyone for so long, admit you want me." She said in reply, not wanting him to leave without first having sex with her.

"I do not want to, now leave. Or you will be fired." I said, not wanting to deal with her anymore.

"No one turns me down. Now, stop messing around and start taking off your clothes." Setsuna said, getting irritated and moving closer to Darien, hoping to stop him before he left.

"I just turned you down, get out. You have one chance to save your job. That is if you leave this moment and do not return to my office." He threatened, just wanting to get out of there and go home.

"Wow, you really are a bore, just as the other girls said." Setsuna said, egging him on.

They said I'm a bore? That couldn't be true after how much they enjoyed their time with me. I thought. But I can't allow myself to fall for her tricks.

"Get. Out. You're fired." I said, walking past her and holding the door for her to leave.

As Setsuna passed me, she stood in front of me and leaned on me, saying, "You'll wish you had said yes." Then kissed me lightly and left.

After realizing what had happened, I quickly wiped my lips and locked up my office, then the main office. I got into my car and drove home, happy to be taking Setsuna off the payroll. I never had liked her.
