Chapter 14. Three Dad's and a Little Rini.
Surprise.
"Serena!" Yaten, Taiki and Seiya say.
"The Three Lights," says Serena. "I didn't know you rehearsed here."
"Ronald's out manager and the head of the company," says Seiya. "This is the job you got?"
"Yeah, I guess I'm your boss." Serena gives the three a smirk.
"You all know each other?" asks Ronald. The all nod their heads. "Wonderful. Then we'll get along great. Honey, they are a pain in the butt. Sometimes I think they're worst than a girl group with their moods." Serena laughs at that and The Three Lights glare at their manager. "Well, I better be going. Carry on." Ronald leaves them all.
"Guys this going to be easy," says Seiya feeling a little overconfident. "We can get away with anything. I can easily sway our boss." He winks at Serena.
"Boss standing right here," says Serena with her hands on her hips. "We should all get together today. How about during lunch and we can talk about strategy."
"Lunch." Seiya gives Serena a pout. "But we were suppose to go to lunch together."
"Seiya the job comes first. See ya later boys." She waves goodbye as she exits the studio.
"Bye," says Taiki and Yaten.
"You two are not going to lunch," says Seiya as he leaves the studio to catch up to Serena. "Serena."
"Yes," says Serena turning around.
"I think this is going to be weird." Serena turns to Seiya.
"Seiya it's my first day and I really worked hard trying to find this job here. I know it's not going to be easy but we'll get through. You guys have got a talent. I know that. I don't think it would be too hard to get you guys out there."
"Thanks."
"Oh, and lunch is still the three of us. Don't even think of threatening or bribing Taiki and Yaten not to come." She begins to walk away when Seiya grabs hold of her and plants a kiss on her lips. The people in the hallway just watch them. Serena smiles at him and Seiya is hoping she would change her mind about lunch. "Seiya was really good."
"Welcome."
"But it's not changing my mind about lunch." She kisses him on the cheek and walks down the hall way. Seiya watches her go. He rolls his eyes then returns to the studio. Seiya grabs a hold of his note pad and decides to write some lyrics down that have been running through his head.
'I wish I could define/All the things that cross my mind/They seem too big for me to choose/I don't know which ones to lose/When I've fallen down so far/I think I'll never see your light/Bouncing off of me/Shining down here from your eyes'
Seiya begins to sing the song as he writes it down on paper. Taiki and Yaten look at Seiya then look at each other. Seiya sees his brothers look at him like he grew another head.
"What?" asks Seiya as he looks at them.
"That was good," says Taiki very impress with his brothers song.
"Are you kidding," says Yaten pushing Taiki. Taiki rolls his eyes. "That was great."
"Did you just come up with that right now?"
"Yeah, well I sort of had it in my head for a while," replies Seiya.
"Why didn't share it with us?"
"I don't know. Didn't think it was good enough."
"Mind if we work on it together?"
"No... You think it's good?"
"Yeah, Seiya," says Yaten patting Seiya on the back. "For once in your life you've done something right."
"Thanks Yaten," replies Seiya with an eye brow raised.
"You've worked out a hook?" asks Taiki as sits down next to Seiya.
"Yeah. It goes something like this. 'Help me figure out the difference, Between right and wrong, weak and strong, Day and night, where I belong. Help me make the right decisions, Know which way to turn, Lessons to learn, and just what my purpose is here.'"
"Is this about Serena?"
"Taiki I am shocked that you out of all people would ask that question to poor Seiya," says Yaten. The other brothers look at Yaten with eye brows raised.
"Who are you and what have you done to my brother?" asks Seiya shaking Yaten.
"Maybe Mina got to him," says Taiki. "She's a sweet heart. Perhaps it might of rubbed off on him."
"No!" Yaten folds his arms across his chest. "So it's about Serena right?"
Just before lunch, Serena comes over to the studio and listens in on something the guys are recording. She catches the hook/chorus, which she really liked. Then the next verse.
'It's like I got my signals crossed, With messages I can't decode, Half asleep, never wide awake, and on complete overload, I got so information here, and nothing I can really grasp, I should know the truth, But I'm too afraid so I have to ask.'
They head to the chorus again and Serena is already in love with the song. As soon as the guys are finish with the song, they head into the recording room and see Serena there.
"That was really great guys," says Serena. "That so needs to be a single."
"Really," says Seiya surprise that she liked it.
"Yes."
"It's Seiya's song," says Taiki.
"You guys helped too," says Seiya.
"We can talk about it during lunch," says Serena. "Lets go boys." Yaten and Taiki get evil grins and each take one arm from Serena leaving Seiya behind as they escort Serena out of the studio.
"Hey!" says Seiya. "That's my girlfriend."
Back at Sestuna's apartment, Sestuna is washing the dishes after their breakfast and Darien comes up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist. He gets a whiff of her hair and she turns around to face him.
"What do you want to do today?" asks Sestuna wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I don't want to sound all mushy but I kind of want to spend the day with you," says Darien.
"What do you usually do on your days off?"
"Take a run in the park."
"Lets do it."
"Really."
"Yes, and I have confess something."
"What's that?"
"I use to watch you run every time you had a day off. I know you think I'm a stalker."
"Nah. Maybe if you would of tripped me or something we could of met sooner."
"I wouldn't do that." Sestuna gives him a concern look. "What if you would of ended up in the hospital because I tripped you?"
"Then I would of fallen in love with you sooner since you saved me and took to me to hospital before I bleed to death."
"Geez it's a little dramatic."
"I like the dramatics." Sestuna smiles at him and kisses his lips gently.
"I'll go change." She makes her way into her room.
"Meet you at the elevators." Darien heads over to the door and leaves to his apartment. He enters with smile on his face and Andrew is sitting in the dinning table eating a piece of toast. "Hey, Andy."
"You look happy," says Andrew. "What happen to you?"
"I am happy."
"Yeah, but way too happy. You rarely call me Andy."
"Is there is something wrong with being happy. It's a good thing." Darien goes over to the play pin to see Rini. "How's my princess."
"Dawi…" says Rini. She then giggles and reaches out to him with her hands.
"Hey, she almost called me daddy. Come on Rini. Say daddy."
"She'll say it," says Andrew. "So you're not going to tell me why you are so happy?"
"Well, if I did it wouldn't be a surprise." Darien enters his room leaving the door ajar.
"Darien I hate surprises."
"That's why I love them." He exit's the room dress in jogging gear. "See ya later Andy." Darien heads for the door leaving Andrew still wondering why he was so happy.
"Daddy's a mysterious guy isn't he Rini?" Rini giggles at Andrew.
AN: Song isn't mine. It belongs to Nick Carter, which was his first single off his solo album. I thought it work right for Seiya to write it and sing. LOL. Not much of a cliffy this time. Give me time. LOL. Enjoy!
