Chapter 11. Three Dad's and a Little Rini.

Choosing.

Seiya has his eyes close still feeling that kiss from that night so long ago. He also remembered the wish he made on that shooting star that night. He had hope to see this girl again. Perhaps the star's wishing powers were on delay, but his wish came true somehow though not like he plan it.

Back inside, Serena made herself comfortable on Seiya's bed and smell scent of his cologne on the comforter. She sighs and begins to remember the night she kissed Seiya at the costume party.

FLASHBACK

The kiss was long and worth it. As they pull away Serena had a shock expression on her face. She couldn't blame the man before her for kissing her because she was part of that intense kiss. Serena release the cape and hands it to him.

"I have to go," says Serena as she makes her way back into the room.

"Wait!" says Seiya following her through the crowd. "Hold on. What's your name?" He couldn't catch up to her as he pushes his way through the crowd. He finds his brothers dancing with some ladies and they see a sad expression on his face. They both look toward where Seiya is looking and see a blonde wrapping herself in her pink coat.

"And the winner is The Three Musketeers," says the announcer. A light shines on the three. "Come on up." People start to let them get through but Seiya tries to get to the exit.

When he makes it to the exit, he runs down some steps and sees a taxi and Serena entering it. He dashes over to the taxi to try to stop it by jumping the steps and putting himself in front of the taxi.

"Hey!" says the taxi driver. "Get out of the way you crazy nut!"

"Give me a name?" asks Seiya as he approaches a window of the taxi.

"Serena," she replies. "I have to go. I'm sorry." The taxi driver rides off leaving Seiya with only a name and the image of her face that will remain in his mind forever.

FLASHBACK END

After the party ended, the guys decided to mount the bed for Serena in her room. Lita and Mina stayed behind to help with the clean up. They even put Rini's crib in Serena's room and the sweet baby is sleeping already. Darien searches for Serena and finds her asleep in Seiya's bedroom. He shrugs off the reason why she decided out of all the rooms to go to it being Seiya's and carries here over to her new room and her new bed.

Yaten and Taiki say their goodnights and walk Mina and Lita home. When the four arrive downstairs they see Seiya sitting next to the van on the side walk. He looks up at them as they walk beside him.

"Seiya," calls Yaten. Seiya comes out of his dream state. "You're going to stay out here all night?"

"No," replies Seiya as he bows his head.

"Seiya," says Mina as she approaches him and kneels down to his level. His eyes meet her bright blue eyes. "Serena likes honesty." Mina smiles at him but he is totally confuse by her statement. He then watches her go.

After a couple minutes later, Seiya gets up and heads upstairs to the apartment. When he enters, Andrew and Darien seem have gone to bed. He stands near the stairs that lead to Serena's room then nods his head and goes into his room. Seiya lays down on his bed and turns to look at the full moon from his window. In a couple of seconds he falls asleep.

The next morning, Darien and Serena were the only ones still sleeping. Seiya left early and Andrew decided to take Rini with him because his mom wanted to get to know her more. Serena knew about it so she wouldn't freak when she awoke and her baby was gone.

Meanwhile next door, Setsuna is pacing back and forth torturing herself for days. She couldn't stop thinking of that night when Darien kissed her and she couldn't find the courage to go to him and tell him how she feels.

"I can't be afraid anymore," says Setsuna to herself. "I need to face him and tell him even if he doesn't feel the same way." She bows her head and reaches for the door. Setsuna walks outside of her apartment and heads to Darien's. Taking a deep breath she rings the door bell.

"Serena get the door," says Darien from the shower. Serena quickly makes her way to the door to answer it in her bathrobe. She had just finish showering. Serena opens the door and sees Setsuna with a very shocking expression.

"Hi," says Serena.

"Serena who was at the…" says Darien wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist with his hair wet, but he stops when he sees Setsuna. "Setsuna. I…"

"I'm sorry," says Setsuna with her head bowed. "I'm interrupting something. I'll be leaving." Setsuna walks away back to her apartment.

"Setsuna wait," says Darien as he walks out of the apartment and goes after her but she quickly closes the door on his face. Darien bangs his head on the door then he see his other neighbors, two old ladies, looking at him. Serena from the door starts to giggle at the sight. Darien quickly rushes back into the apartment.

"Darien who was she?" asks Serena as Darien closes the door. He turns to her. "Was she your girlfriend?"

"No," says Darien. "How did you know I had a girlfriend?"

"Seiya."

"Seiya." Darien takes a deep breath. "Setsuna is our neighbor and she helped us out with Rini."

"You like her?"

"NO!"

"Darien." Serena bows her head. "I remember when you use to look at me the way you looked at Setsuna just now."

"Serena is not what you think. We're friends."

"Darien. Who are we kidding? I love you and I love what you've given me, Rini. She's everything that I could ever dream of, but I don't think I'm in love with you anymore."

"I thought I was the only one who felt like that. I just wanted to take care of you. I didn't know what else to do. When you came I was confused about my feelings for Setsuna."

"You should go to her. Darien we've moved on with our lives. We're not the same people we use to be couple years ago. I know you'll always be a part of Rini's life and my life too, but I think we've already had our chance. Lets not keep saying what ifs."

"Okay." Darien nods his head and hugs Serena. "First thing I'm going to break up with Rita. My current girlfriend." Darien seems to be ready to head out.

"Okay, but you should change."

"Oh." says Darien. "Yeah."

"Good luck."

"Thanks."

Darien is off to the hospital to talk to Rita. He knew she was working and he hadn't spoken to her since the night he caught her with that other guy. Darien marches into her office where she is doing some paper work and is surprise to see him. She rushes over to him to give him a kiss but he pushes her off.

"Darien what's the matter?" asks Rita. "Why haven't you returned my calls? You didn't even come to our date the other night. What happen?"

"It's over Rita," says Darien in a stern voice.

"What?" Rita doesn't believe this.

"I saw you kissing some other guy. I should of known."

"Darien that was not me. I swear I…"

"I don't want excuses. It's over. We're co-workers and that's it." Darien then walks out of her office leaving her speechless. As he exit's the hospital, a smile crosses his face.

Back at the apartment, Serena changes and walks around the apartment admiring the decoration. She ends up entering Seiya's room and sits on his bed. Serena really wants to talk to him so she decides to wait for him in his room. She takes a deep sigh and lays back on the bed.

It is already eight and Andrew has not arrived home and neither has Darien. The front door opens and Seiya comes in talking on the cell phone with one of his brothers.

"Yeah, I'm here," says Seiya. "It's in my room." Seiya walks over to his room and turns on the lights. He sees Serena laying on the bed and stares at her for a bit then he turns off the lights not wanting to wake her.

"Seiya," Serena calls out to him.

Seiya wishes he hadn't heard her call him but his feet won't let him move and he turns to her. He turns on the lights and sees Serena sitting up on his bed.

"I'm just getting something," says Seiya. "I've gotta go."

"Wait." Serena gets up to grabs his arm before he could leave the room. "Seiya."

"What?"

"I wish I had met you earlier but…"

"It doesn't matter now. You're with Darien. He's my best friend and I'd never betray him." Seiya pulls away from her and walks over to the front door.

"Seiya will you just wait a minute!" Serena shouts this at him, which surprises Seiya since he's never seen her scream at him like that. He turns around to face her and watches her walk over to him. Her lips just crash into his lips and she grabs hold of him. Seiya is surprise but he kisses her back grabbing hold of her body feeling the same sensation he felt that night at the costume party.

AN: I'm happy to have gotten so many reviews so far. You guys are great.

Mae-e I'm glad your staying with me. Don't worry I've got tons of story ideas to have Darien and Serena get together. Just wait for my sequel to Swaying a Girls Heart.

Daze Blue Angel thanks for giving me the idea of doing the flashbacks for this chapter and the last one as well.

Everyone else thanks for sticking with me. Good stuff are coming. LOL. Peace!
