Chapter Seven…
Serena awoke at the break of dawn a sleepy smile firm on her face as she watched her lover sleep next to her. She watched the slight frown form on his face as the light moved through the open windows and danced across his features. Her thoughts transported her back to the night before and the things she had done with Darien. She was happy, that things seemed to be going her way. For the past 3 weeks Serena had retired to the company of Darien late in the nights and in stolen moments in the office. She had never felt this alive before. When she had explained her missing person the first night to Mina she was tackled and made to explain all the details. They spent their lunches together at their favourite arcade and soon made friends with the guy that worked there called Andrew. It turned out that he actually owned the place and was slightly short handed so he worked most of the shifts. He was tall and handsome like Darien. The differences were small but noticeable. Where Darien was dark haired, Andrew was fair, a pale blond that came down into his eyes on the occasion. Both their eyes were blue, Andrews a joyful light blue, Darien's a dark mysterious one. Where Darien was mostly serious Andrew was light hearted and funny. As Mina Serena and Darien hung out with him whenever they could Serena couldn't help but notice the slight tension between the two new friends. Mina all the time she was with Andrew was throwing him flirtatious looks. It was soon discovered that the two had sprung up a relationship. Serena remembered the relief go over Darien's face at the news. Maybe he felt threatened by Andrew, she didn't really know. But looking down at his face from her slightly raised position she felt a burst of love. She had never had any one jealous over her before, she had never had anyone who wanted her as much as he did. She traced a finger lightly down his nose and over his lips, watching him twitch under the slight touch.
Darien awoke looking up into the eyes of his love. His slight annoyance turned into love at the smile she was giving him. He knew from just that one smile that she loved him, with all her heart and that they would be together forever. Bringing a hand up he gently stroke the side of her face, gently pushing the hair out of her face.
"Hey." Darien said never taking his eyes from hers.
"Hey." Serena replied just before she placed her lips on his, duplicating the passion they had the night previously.
Serena fiddled with the cord of her phone as she looked at the door of the office. The man on the phone was going on about some such but all she could think about was how scrumptious Darien looked stark naked before her in all his glory. Sighing she replied to the question the man asked with a negative.
"I'm sorry Mr Hall but we're fully booked for the next two weeks. Mr shields will be having a meeting 3 weeks from now and I can slot you in for just before." Serena stated blankly as she flicked through the blank weekly planner she had in front of her. She had specific instruction to try and get Mr Hall the latest appointment as possible if he wouldn't stop calling. For the past week the man had been calling incessantly to complain about the fact he was fired from the company over a year ago. Darien had tried to console the man, even Serena had given her best, but everyone's patience runs low at one time or another. As the man sighed in defeat she wrote his name in a time slot and said her goodbyes. She sat for a little longer, watching the door to the office. It would nearly be time to finish and she was wondering what the two lovers might get up to. Tapping her fingers on the desk she prepared to stand when the phone rang again. Picking it up on the second ring she answered a little too briskly.
"Wow I can tell someone's had a hard day!" came the familiar playful voice of none then her best friend Mina. Sitting back down grateful it was her and not the man again she explained the details of her day.
"Doesn't he have anything better to do? Like, maybe get another job instead of calling me up all the time and making my job a living hell?" Serena complained to her friend. The two had become very good at complaining about the days work between each other.
"Obviously not. But on the same lines of having anything better to do, have you got anything planned tonight between you and Darien?" thinking about it they hadn't. She was hoping for a nice night at his watching chick flicks and eating ice cream and maybe a little more.
"No not that I can think of. Why you got an idea?" Serena began twirling the cord around her fingers as she contemplated on what devious plan Mina had concocted this time.
"Well, you know that new club that opened today, Moonlight Shadow? Well I was thinking maybe me and Andrew, you and Darien could go and check it out." Serena paused before answering. Did she really want to go out? She looked at the door again, hoping for Darien to come out and save her from the decision. She really did just want to relax instead of hitting the nightclub. She knew what always happened when she was out with Mina; the two always got wasted and or kicked out of the club/pub.
"I don't know Mina, it'll probably be really full and I don't…" Mina cut her off as soon as she realised that she was going to be left alone with Andrew. She liked the guy a lot but a night out really wasn't a night out without Serena.
"Oh come on Serena! If we go early enough we'll get in and I'm sure it will be really fun. Plus it's a Friday; you don't have to work tomorrow. You should really take a break and relax!" frowning in defeat at Mina's chirpy and hopeful voice she said she would. Saying their goodbyes Serena stood and walked into the office.
Darien was sat finishing off some paper work when he looked up to see his goddess standing before him. He had told Serena to just walk in whenever she wanted, so long as he wasn't in a meeting. As his eyes met hers his thoughts lingered to the nights spent making her cry in pleasure. His eyes flickered to the clock and noted it was time to finish. No one would bother them. Naughty thoughts about what he wanted to do to her filled his head as she sauntered to his desk and plumped herself on the corner of his desk. He remembered the day he spent hours pleasuring her on this very desk and a grin came to his lips.
"Hey, what's up?" Darien's smooth voice sounded through the room, making Serena shiver. She knew he was doing it on purpose, using his voice the way he was.
"Stop that." Darien's grin just got wider.
"I don't know what your on about." His voice got deeper, making Serena feel weak with desire; if she were standing she would have fallen.
"You know damn well what I'm on about." She said throwing him a dirty look, only to gain an innocent look from him as he leaned back in his chair. "Mina just called."
"Oh? All going well with her?" he asked politely. He didn't really like Mina, as they were too different, but he tried on behalf of Serena. He knew that the bond between the two blondes was inseparable and he didn't want to be the reason for any fallout between them. Smiling Serena replied, her hands playing with the pens in the holder on his desk.
"Yeah, she's great. She wanted to know if we would go out with her and Andrew tonight to that new club Moonlight Shadow. I said I'd see what you thought." She didn't tell him that she said yes because she didn't have control over him. Thankfully Darien smiled an affirmative.
"I don't see why not. I'll see about getting our tickets." He leaned forward and brushed his hand against hers, feeling the goose bumps rise on both their skin.
"Great." Was all she could manage before Darien had fully leaned forward and captured her lips with his own. The kiss turned from a gentle one to one filled with need. The two made love in his very office before parting each other to get ready.
Later that night Darien sat on the couch with Andrew at Serena's apartment as the two girls made a lot of noise in the bedroom. The two men exchanged looks of despair, as the two blondes had already taken an hour to get ready. With another loud thump the door opened gaining the attention of the men. Turning their heads fully around they starred in awe at the two beauties in front of them. They looked like twins. Both had their hair tied up in a high pony, their faces covered with natural makeup, only the eye liner was thickly put on. Both had a backless silk halter, Mina's in orange and Serena's was in pink. Both wore a pair of jeans that hug to their figures perfectly. Pink and orange strap sandals on their feet and a white belt completed their outfits. After appreciative comments from both men the group headed out to the club.
As soon as they hit the club the girls ran off to the dance floor as the men headed to the bar to get the drinks. Walking back with the drinks the men watched as the two bumped and grinned against each other, oblivious to the looks of the men around them. Soon the thump thump of the music entered their blood, or maybe it was the alcohol, and the group began to laugh and dance. Darien went back to the bar to get another couple of drinks. In all honesty his feet were aching from all the dancing. As the bartender took his order Darien glanced over his shoulder to watch them still dancing. He didn't know how they could do it. Smiling he picked up the glasses and began heading back when he saw Andrew placing his hands on Serena's hips. He thought nothing of it, they were just friends dancing. Soon Andrews's head snuggled in close to her face and from where Darien stood it looked as though the two were kissing. He stopped still in horror as heartbreak took over him. All her could think about as he headed back to the bar with the shots in his hands was how she could do that to him. he had given her everything, he loved her wholeheartedly. He was sure she loved him back. But yet here she was dancing and kissing another man who I thought was my friend. Downing both shots he ordered them again. Twenty minutes went by with none stop downing of shots. Darien slurred his words as he ordered another drink but to his dismay he was refused.
"I'll buy you a drink sweetie." Came a sultry voice from beside him. A woman of raven coloured hair appeared next to him. or maybe she had been sat there a while. As the bartender gave them both their drinks, announcing it was his last she turned and smiled at him.
"Had a rough night hunny?" she asked as he downed his glass.
"You have no idea." Her hand went to his arm affectionately, making Darien look at it. As he looked back up into her face, he was amazed by her seemingly purple eyes.
"My names Raye." She leaned in close so he could hear her over the music.
"Darien." Was his one word answer. He would of said more but the room had started to spin slightly.
"How about we leave here and go somewhere a bit more private." Standing the two stumbled out of the club and to Darien's apartment.
Serena was a little shocked when Andrew leaned his face in close to hers as they were dancing. His mouth went straight past hers and to her ear. As the two danced Andrew revealed his love for the blonde.
"I know it's only been 3 weeks but I don't want to loose her. Serena, I'm going to ask Mina to marry me. I don't know why, we just feel so right together." Serena jumped back at the news and looked into his blue eyes. Nerves came over her for the happiness that was obvious on his face. She hugged him tightly in joy as she looked around for Mina. She could see her on her way back from the bathrooms.
"When are you going to ask?"
"Tonight. When I get the guts to do so." He smiled sheepishly back at Serena.
"Well you better get guts soon because she's coming back." A panicked look came over his face as he saw his love walking back. Serena had an idea and ran off to the DJ. She explained what was going to happen and asked for the microphone.
Suddenly the music had lowered down to a dull sound in the background and a singular light highlighted Serena standing next to the DJ.
"Hello every body. Sorry if I'm interrupting but my friend has something special to say to someone. Andrew can you come up here please?" a second light lit up Andrew as he stood with Mina. Mina shot him a look and only got a shrug back. As he reached the stage he told Serena she was dead meat. Clearing his throat he smiled sheepishly. Mina walked closer to the stage and stopped when she reached the edge of it.
"Well, I didn't really think that this would happen when I told her in confidence, but that's how the world works!" he laughed getting nothing from the crowd. Clearing his throat again, his nerves running wildly around him he looked into the eyes of Mina and another light erupted over her head. "I've never felt like this before. I know it hasn't been a long time since I hadn't known you, but it feels like a thousand years. Everything I thought I held closely to my heart pales in comparison to you." Mina's heart was thudding in her chest as she watched him get on one knee, rather awkwardly, and held out his hand to hers. "Mina, will you marry me?" Squeals erupted from the corner where Serena was stood apologising she watched the tears fill Mina's eyes. She gave a slight nod and Andrew jumped down and hugged her, swinging her around him as the crowd clapped happy for the couple. The music picked back up as the 3 sat at a table. Serena looked around for Darien. She hadn't seen him since he went to get some more drinks. She began to worry. Mina saw this and put her arm around her comforting.
"Maybe he didn't feel well and went home? He did have quiet a bit to drink."
"He would have said something." Serena small voice came as she looked around widely for him.
"Don't worry about it Hun, I'm sure he's fine." Finishing the drinks the three stood and exited the club. As Andrew hailed for a taxi Mina turned to Serena.
"You getting this taxi with us?" she shivered slightly in the night air.
"No, I think I'm going to go to Darien's see if he's there. It's not that far from here. Thanks any way." Hugging the blonde Serena waved goodbye to Andrew congratulated the two again and headed down the street to Darien's.
As she got there she opened the door and walked straight into the living room. What she saw there stopped her movements, stopped the words for leaving her mouth and froze her heart. There laid Darien naked on the floor with another woman on top of him.
