The Taylor's 2
Chapter 8
Noon seamed to come far too soon for Serena as she paced around the house knowing Darien was to come shortly. She looked at the clock to see it strike noon as she thought "Darien's late"
Without realizing she had said it out loud, she heard Rei respond back "no he's not, that clock is ten minutes fast"
Serena looked behind her nervously as she asked "why would you set a clock ten minutes fast?"
Rei looked at her as she told her "to make sure you were on time and it worked. Now relax everything's going to be fine you two just sit and catch up a bit okay"
Rei grabbed her jacket from the coat rack as Serena turned to her surprised as she asked "you're going out"
Rei looked back at her as she said "yeah Mina and I are going to go catch a movie have fun" and with that Rei walked out the door just in time to see Darien's car pull up.
Serena walked over to the window and saw that Darien had just got here. Rei was outside talking to him about something, but what it was she couldn't make out.
A moment later she heard the door knob start to turn as Darien walked in the house. Serena turned away pretending like he wasn't even there. She knew it was immature, but she wanted to make sure he knew who was in charge here.
Darien walked over and sat on the couch as he pulled out a file and asked her "are we going to play games here or what? because you know if you cooperate with me things will go much faster"
Serena gave him a slight wave of the hand to let him no she was listening, but didn't really care what he had to say.
He just laughed as he opened the big file he had on the table as he asked her "okay then answer me one question. Do you know someone by the name of Rosalie Bloom?"
Serena turned around slightly curious to his question as she told him "no why?"
Darien smiled as he looked to her and said "finally got your attention huh?"
Serena started to grow impatient as she asked "who is she?"
Darien looked at her as he said "the woman your husband cheated on you with"
Serena couldn't believe it, seeing them together was bad, but giving her a name now just made it so much worse as she turned to him and asked "why are you telling me this"
Darien looked to his notes as he told her "I wanted to know if you knew her"
Serena became angry as she told him "I already told you I didn't know who she was?"
Darien looked up from his file as he asked "the name didn't sound familiar at all"
Serena looked at him as she grew more frustrated as she asked "no why?"
Darien grabbed a piece of paper as he walked over and showed it to her as he said "because she's been working with you for the past two and a half years"
Serena couldn't believe it, there it was in black and white was proof that it was all true. Her husband was having an affair with one of her co workers right under her nose. She felt completely humiliated as she went and sat down on the couch as she shook her head saying her name over and over "Rosalie, Rosalie, he probably spent more time with her then he did me and it was all right under my nose. How could I be so stupid?"
Darien came over as he sat beside her and said "you're not stupid. Don't beat yourself up over it, you're not the first wife this has happened too and I guarantee you won't be the last"
Serena looked up to him as she asked "is this suppose to comfort me or something, because it's not working"
Darien looked to her genuinely sincere as he told her "sorry, but if it helps I still remember how much it hurt when I found out about Kristy and that guy, but I did get over it and I found someone else…you" he gently put his hand on hers.
Serena looked up into his eyes and then remembered all the times he had hurt her.
flashback
Serena stood up from her bed as she looked to her clock and saw that he was late again. She sat back down on her bed and there was a knock at the door "she shouted "come in" and Rei walked in the room with the telephone as she handed it to Serena.
Serena looked to Rei already knowing what it was as she took the phone and said "hello"
Right on cue she heard Darien's voice tell her "Serena I'm sorry. I'm running late, I'll be there soon I promise. I'll be there in one hour wait for me"
Serena took a deep breath after hearing those words so many times from him as she said back "I'll wait for you Darien, just like I always do. Just hurry okay"
Darien told her back "I will, I love you" and then hung up the phone.
Two hours had gone by as Serena sat in the living room waiting for him as she watched the minutes tick by on the clock and then the phone rang again. She picked it up as she said "hello"
On the other line again was Darien as he told her "Serena I'm coming. I'm leaving now I promise, just wait for me okay"
Serena was getting tired of waiting, but her heart new better as she told him "okay I'll wait. Just don't make me wait another two hours Darien"
Darien had told her back "I won't. I'll be there in forty minutes"
One and a half hours had gone by and finally Darien came knocking at the door, but there was no answer. He found the key under the mat as he walked in and found Serena asleep on the couch with a note that read I'm sorry Darien I got tired of waiting.

Serena immediately pulled away from Darien as she stood up from the couch and told him "I won't do this anymore Darien. I can't go down this road with you again. I got tired of waiting" and then walked into her bedroom and shut her door.
