You are so beautiful" he said smiling down at her. A bright light obscured her vision. Blocking her full view his face, all but his mouth was covered by the light. Although he stood hidden behind an intense light, Serena knew she was safe and she felt love for this mystery man.
"Thank you" a blush spreading across her delicate features. He held her close. She loved the rhythm of his heart beat, his warmth, and his strong embrace.
"Never let me go" she whispered as lay her head on his chest. As she relaxed she suddenly felt him begin to pull away. Lifting her head in confusion, she watched as he slowly drifted off into the light. As she watched him being pulled away by an unknown forces he felt her heart break in her chest. Her knees buckled, falling to the ground in tears. She let out a large scream, waking her sleep.
"What the hell?" Serena said, quickly sitting up in the bed. She sat on the bed painting, wondering why she was having weird dreams about men she didn't even know.
Looking around the dark room, recognizing nothing she began to panic. This wasn't her beautifully white and room. She had no idea where she was.
'Oh my god where am I'
'What happened to me?'
'What day is it, how long have I been HERE?'
'How did I get HERE?'
'Where the fuck is HERE?'
'Oh my god, someone kidnapped me. I'm going to die'
With her brain going into overdrive from panic, her memory of the past few hours came flooding back. She soon knew where she was and who brought her here and why. With the coming of her reality she now wished for her earlier worries to be true.
D's POV
Not knowing exactly what to do, Darien sat on his plush black sofa with the TV on a soft mute, although it appeared to be on, he found himself not being able to watch it but only able to focus on the closed door of his bedroom for the past hour.
'I just wonder why it is that you care so much.' The voice in his head said
'I don't! I'm just….'
'Concerned' the voice chimed in
'NO! I'm just interested, it's just natural curiosity' he replied
'Yea ok, so thinking she's attractive has nothing to do with it'
'NO, that has nothing to do with it' he protested feeling as though he'd won
'Oh so you admit that you think she's attractive'
'What. NO. Wait, that's not what I meant. Oh god. Just shut up'
Ending the conversation with his conscience, he went back to focusing on the door. As soon as he turned his attention back to the door it slowly began to open. With a quick turn of his head he focused his attention on the TV as if he had initially been watching it.
S's POV
'Oh god. Oh god. I hope he's not out there. I can't talk to him, it'll be to embarrassing'
'Well it's his house, where would he be and you're going to see him eventually, that's what you get for having a breakdown in a public park' the voice in her head said
'Oh go die' with a deep breath she gripped the door knob and prepared for the worst. And that's exactly what she got. There he was, sitting on the sofa directly at the end of the long corridor.
With another deep breath she made her way down the hall. Her steps light as if walking on eggshells. With no notice, his head turned, his piercing gaze freezing her in place. They both stared at one another as if stunned. With her mind in a foggy daze from he's deep blue eyes and him at a loss for words. Darien rose form the sofa. They stood about 3 feet from one another, in silence. Both thinking 'this is so awkward'.
Being able the bear the silence no longer and more than eager to know what happened, Darien spoke.
"So-" before he could get another word out Serena spoke.
"Thanks, for um everything... I guess I'll see you around bye" quickly grabbing her purse and shoes of the island that separated the kitchen and living room. Serena made her way to the door and left without so much as a look back.
Darien remained standing in the spot she left him, shocked and confused. With so many unanswered questions. Now what was going to help him distract himself from his own miserable situation?
NEXT DAY WITH S
"Sitting across form her 2 best friends, her attempt to focus on the conversation and seem remotely social failing miserably. Serena zoned in and out, eating none of her BLT with fries but drinking all of her vodka tonic. Life outside her misery just seemed so far out of her grasp.
"Helloooo Serena. What's up with you, you haven't talked at all since we got here and you've done quite a number on that drink and its not even noon." Mina said in a concerned voice.
"Is there something you want to talk about" Raye said.
"……." She considered just blurting it all out. The meeting, the park, and Darien but she didn't. It just seemed pointless to talk about, nothing would change what was already final.
"No I'm fine. Just a little bored with life right now. Hey, you wanna do something tonight?" feigning fake happiness.
"Sure, things have been kind of slow ever since your party" Raye said
"Ok, I'll call you guys-" cutting her off was her cell phone vibrating in her purse. Her eye twitched as she saw the screen. It was her dad. With a deep sigh she answered.
"Hello"
"Hi Serena, how are you"
"Fine dad, what can I do for you today" she said in a business
"Now Serena don't be like that"
"Oh, I'm sorry. How is it that you want me to be" her accent getting deeper as she angered
"Sigh. Fine, act how ever you want. I just wanted to tell you that you are meeting with Diamond tonight for dinner at Abajour. So look nice and be there eight. And be on time." Her father said stressing his last point.
"Ok. Bye" hanging up the phone as quick as she said it
"Who was that?" Raye said, looking deep in her eyes. Raye always had an unnerving way of knowing when she was lying and wouldn't let it go until she knew the truth. So to avoid the Q and A Serena stood and walked behind the two as they remained seated. Giving them each a quick peck on the cheek as she began to feed them a lie, for their where many to come.
"Oh that was just my dad; he wants me to meet some of his contacts tonight. So I won't be able to come out and play. Sorry"
"Oh its ok, go our little business woman" Mina said in a cheery voice.
"Ok I'll call you later. Bye ladies"
Upon exiting the cafe she noticed Darien heading toward the entrance. Knowing that he would undoubtedly bring up yesterday to his sister, she was forced to speak. Before he was able to make it to the door she stopped him.
"Hey can I talk to you for a sec" she said in a pleading one
"Um sure. What's up?" Darien couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
"The thing is Mina and Raye don't know about yesterday and….. I kind of don't think I'm going to tell them. So um could you PLEASE not mention it" She said placing he small hand on his forearm as if begging him.
Looking into her wide eyes, she looked like a kid begging someone to not tell on her. Whatever happened was serious and the way she was pleading would make even him feel guilty if he betrayed her. Even if she was his worst enemy, he just wouldn't be able to forget the look when she begged HIM to keep HER secret.
"Yea no problem, I'll just forget it" With that said he watched her face relax as she let out the breath that seemed to be holding in.
"Thank you so much Darien….. Well I'll let you go then. Bye" giving him a quick smile she quickly walked away.
Little did Serena and Darien know, Mina and Raye sat inside watching the interaction between the two. As Darien joined the two he noticed they both were looking at him with weird smiles, and goofy faces.
"What's wrong with you two?" he asked in utter confusion
"Oh nothing, just wondering why exactly you and Serena were looking all chummy out there a second ago" Raye said. In hearing this he immediately knew what was going through the heads of these two dummies.
"OH NO NO NO, it's not even like that, we're not friends, were not anything. We just had some…unfinished business" he said in his most stern voice. He couldn't have them thinking what he knew they were thinking.
"So how long have you two been hooking up. I have to say, that was pretty smart of you to pretend you hate each other and getting together on the side. But did you seriously think you could keep it from us?" Mina said with a triumphant smirk.
Darien was in shock. He had no words for these two idiots.
"Wow Mina you are…such…a…Blond and Raye just dye your hair already and stop living a lie" was all he said before leaving. They were by far the stupidest people he knew.
BACK WITH S
Serena sat on her bed trying to mentally prepare herself for her meeting with her Fiancé. Just thinking the words made he feel sick. Glancing at the clock for the millionth time she saw it was 6:30 and time to get ready. Moving from bathroom to closet to vanity she slowly got ready. An hour later she stood looking over the finished product in the mirror with her dog Potato at her feet watching her quietly. She wore a pale blue ruched shoulder curvy jersey dress with a pair of whit studded T strap sandals, her hair in loose curls that fell over shoulders wildly down her back, with a small blue diamond clip to pull her bangs off of her face. Any other girl would die to look that beautiful but right now Serena could not see herself as a beautiful young woman but a weak and trapped little girl.
Pulling up to the restaurant Serena felt her stomach flop. And it sure as hell wasn't the first date jitters. With every step making her feel sicker and sicker, Serena made her way into the restaurant. As she entered her eyes were immediately drawn to her father and a handsome platinum blond almost silver haired man. Taking a deep breath she began one foot in front of the other. Looking around she saw that almost every eye in the room was on her as she made her long walk to the table. From an observing eye she looked like a creature form a fairy tale, she was memorizing with her soft curls bouncing around her face. Even with all eyes on her she couldn't help but feel more separate from the world, separate and alone.
"Ah there you are, I was beginning to think you were going to be late" Her father said with a hint of nervous laughter as he rose from his seat.
"Oh come now, I wouldn't miss this for the world" Serena said with a fake smile plastered across her face directing it toward diamond himself.
"Hi I'm-" cutting her off in the middle of her sentence diamond finally spoke.
"Serena, yes it's a pleasure to finally meet you, your father has told me so much about you but he failed to mention how beautuiful you are. You my dear are quite an magnificent site" Finishing off his compliment with kiss to the back of her hand.
With little emotion in her voice Serena simply replied with a"Thank you" unphased and unimpressed.
She studied him as he walked around to pull out her chair. Noting in his every move, him staring plane as day at her ass, his sly smile which probably made all women fall at his feet and his overly confident attitude as he complimented her. Watching diamond she soon realized that it wasn't just the arranged marriage she detested but also her fiancé.
"So I will leave you two to get to know one another, have a good time" Her father said as he pushed in his seat and left the table
Serena was in shock, she couldn't believe he would actually leave her with him. She would never forgive him for this. Turning back to diamond she watched for a moment as he continued to disappoint her, watching her cleavage as if it was the recently founded natural wonder of the world. Snapping from his gaze he smiled back at her as if he had done nothing wrong. Looking across the table at the man who was soon to be her husband it hit her. Before now it was nothing more than something her father said was going to have to happen but now it was real. Her time, energy, body, and life was now his, she was to be his untill the end of her time. Oh how she wished it was the end.
next chapy will be up soon kidy's. its this college thing, it kinda gets in the way of life.
