Chapter 12

I woke up feeling more refreshed than ever. Two days ago my life just seemed to turn around. I had two of my four friends back and a boyfriend that seems to be quite smitten with me, if I do say so myself. The only thing that plagued my mind today was why it seemed my boyfriend was so happy with me. We had barely met in the past at the arcade, and even then we were fighting constantly.

I will just have to get to the bottom of that today.

With that I crawl out of bed. Today is Saturday, which means grocery shopping and cleaning around the house… then I can go to the arcade and see Darien. A blush instantly graces my face as I think about him. Maybe I should think about why I am so into him too…though I have a 1000 years of memories to back up my affections…I haven't seen in him two days. I can't wait to get to the arcade!

I had cancelled our meeting yesterday after Mina left my apartment; I was just too tired from staying up all night and taking to her. Darien of course, was very understanding.

I think about it a little more while I quickly get dressed, forgoing a shower until I clean later on. I grab my wallet and head out to the store.

I return a hour later with my hands full of bags. I easily place everything where it should go in the kitchen and think about making myself some late breakfast. I decide I don't want to clean up anymore than I have to and opt for the oh too healthy poptart instead. I head back to my room and change into some old clothes so I can start my cleaning, hoping to finish quickly. I glance at the clock, 12:30 it reads, well that gives me 3 or so hours, piece of cake. I glance around and realize how neglected my apartment actually is. There are stacks of paper everywhere, accumulating dust, dishes piled quite high in the sink, and every surface probably needed a scrubbing. Maybe 3 hours isn't enough time…

I decide it is much too quiet and begin blaring music dancing out each song while I straighten up, dust, vacuum, and wipe everything down. Before I know, the rooms are looking better. The dishes are now put away in the cupboards right where they should be and laundry was almost finished. The last thing to do was wipe everything down in all my rooms. I look around satisfied with myself and run to the back of my apartment to get the necessary final cleaning supplies. I return in minutes and begin my ritual of dancing and cleaning. If I wasn't so caught up in my own world I may have been able hear the few giggles from behind me.

I did a turn in step with the music and almost fell flat on my face at the sight. There Darien and Mina were, standing in my doorway, laughing their heads off. I quickly regain my composure and head to the stereo to turn off the music. Soon their laughter died down and I finally look back to them. They were both beaming. It seems I made both their days.

"Hey guys, um… how did you get in here?"

"You door was open Sere, so we just waltzed in after we knocked and you didn't answer. Had we known you were doing that I totally would have brought my video camera..." Mina starts laughing again and it didn't seem like it was going to stop anytime soon, so I turn my attention to Darien.

His eyes were lit up like a child's on Christmas morning. He was also trying to hold back the laughter as he looked over at Mina.

"So why are you guys here?"

They both looked at me like it was the dumbest thing I could have said.

"Um, well Meatball head…" he pauses looking at me to see my reaction. I suppose I should cringe at the nickname making a comeback, but it sounded more like an endearment, so I allowed him to continue, "You said you would meet us at the Arcade and 3:30 and now it is 430, so we wanted to make sure you were okay."

I glance at the clock and realize that it is, in fact, 437 right now. "Wow, I had no idea it took me that long to clean, Sorry guys."

Mina went into another fit of laughter, almost crumbling to the floor. "You, cleaning? Really? I never thought I would see the day!....I mean that in the highest respect of course" She seriously corrects herself when she finally gets control of the laughter.

I shrug, making it seem like it was nothing new.

"So did you guys still want to do something tonight?" I ask trying to draw the attention to anything but what they just walked in on.

"dancing sounds like an excellent idea actually" Darien states while grabbing my waist and soon after beginning to sway. This throws Mina into another fit of laughter, but only for a moment. She immediately straightens up.

"umm…that's not dancing…like at all."

Darien chuckles thinking it was a joke, but stops mid-dance when he realizes that I am cracking up with laughter.

"Wow, Mina, you didn't need to be so blunt…"

"Wait, you agree with her?!"

"Darien, me and you were just fooling around. There is no need to get upset." The look on his face told me he was not fooling around, that he was now completely embarrassed.

"Oh, Darien, I'm sorry, I didn't… well…. Umm…"

"What Serena means to say is that you have a lack of talent there, bud. But not to worry I know of the perfect solution. A dance class. Specifically Salsa." To emphasize her point she begins to salsa around my living room.

My eyes light up. "That would be so fun! We should do it Darien, please?!

He looks like he is contemplating it, but Mina interjects without him saying a word,

"Darien you have a choice, make you girlfriend happy and go, or decide dance class isn't manly and not see Serena for…um let's say two weeks."

Darien looks stunned, and instantly complies, "Fine I will go."

I am so happy I do not even tell him that Mina's threat was completely empty, like I could go for two weeks without seeing him, I could barely go for two days!

"Thanks Darien, you won't regret it!"
