9. So take a look at me now… There´s just an empty space.
After three days without seeing her around or a single call, he decided it was time to pay her a phone call and ask her about their playing meeting at her house. It was the first time he actually called a girl first and he felt kind of strange. Having her as his girl didn't felt like others. She might not be as invasive as others because her methods where rather different. She was slowly becoming a part of him and bit by bit his mind came to get used to think of her.
--Hi!! It´s you, Darien?--She answered the phone unable to hide how hurry she was feeling. He couldn't avoid a mean smile to show in his lips.
--Yes, it's me. How are you?— "So dry!!" thought Serena in the other side.
--I´m fine…preparing something for tomorrow at Lita´s place --"Don't say you missed me" thought Darien—How have you been all this days?—
--Just fine—answered him—So you are already preparing for tomorrow?
--Yes, after all—she said happily—it's the first time you come to my place and I want to be a proper hostess…
--Mmmm… What time do you want me to be there?—
--If you don't have anything else to do, it would be nice around 6 in the evening…
--Do you want me to bring something?
--You yourself and a pair of games would be wonderfull—she said adoringly. He could feel her emotions through the phone and found himself trying to restrain from saying a bunch of
stupidities like "dress nicely for me" or worse, promising a surprise for her, while he actually wanted to say them…
--Ok, then, see you tomorrow—
--Unn!! Take care ok!!
--You too… Bye…
When he hung up the phone, he realized that she won that battle soundly. She was trying hard to be attentive while giving him the freedom he needed… So far, she didn't give him a single reason to finish their relationship and the comfortable feeling he was starting to get while being around her was quite scary…
The news about him dating Sailor Freak as the other guys called her had already passed around the whole campus. Not that such a thing bothered him too much. After all, he knew that he was the one who decided to continue their relationship and if there was something he was not into, that was being an insecure person…
But still, it was kind of annoying to see how people turned to see him with those pitiable looks. Like if he was dating a monster or something worse. Yes, Serena was strange and totally out of the general description of girls whom he usually dated, but she was also beautiful and quite mature when it came to serious matters of life. That was also very appealing to him; not everyday he had the opportunity to date a girl that gave him freedom while loved him with all her strength. She was in fact, the first girl to really try to understand him and accept him the way he was…
At home, in the silence and loneliness, he wondered if their relationship would last. It seemed as if he were trying to find each possible excuse to run away from her. Yet, he was glad that she didn't fail any of his trials. That she struggled so much to keep them together…Maybe he thought before going to sleep, he also had to give her the opportunity to come into his world and fill it with her love for him casting away all the emptiness in it…
