Hey guys, Since I left the chapter I wrote at Rottnest, I had to rewrite it… I couldn't remember it as well as I thought I could but I got there in the end. This is just a warning that this chapter is actually pretty boring and is written terribly… Every story… okay scratch that, Most stories have a crappy chappy and this is mine. I needed to have a chapter that passed a bit of time and this is all I could think of… So please TRY to enjoy… The better chapters are coming up and I can't wait to write them! MWA!

:)

Remember when you were little and you annoyed your poor parents on long trips by constantly asking them 'Are we there yet?'… Well you'd think that by the age of 17 you would have grown out of it… In my case, not so much.

"Are we there yet?" I asked Darien for what seemed like the nineteenth time since we had left my house 10 minutes ago.

Darien chuckled and I had to give him points for being able to handle me, "Not yet, but I promise you it will be well worth the wait"

"Did I happen to mention the fact that I'm not a patient person?"

"Then it's lucky that I can be patient enough for the both of us," he laughed.

I crossed my arms over my chest and pouted like the child I was acting.

"Cute"

"Yeah? Well you're annoying" I huffed

Darien grinned, "So maybe I am, but that's what you like most about me."

"Oh yeah, I'm in a car with a guy who wont tell me where we're going and so for all I know, he could be taking me somewhere to take advantage of me. But the fact that you're annoying makes me forget all that and just love you," I rolled my eyes.

"Love huh?" Darien smirked as he indicated to turn the corner.

"What?"

"Well all I said was that that's what you like most about me. You're the one who said love. I'm obviously growing on you."

"Yeah, you're growing to be a pain in the arse. Not everyone falls for your charm. Someone had oughtta put your ego down a couple notches. Not everyone loves you, you know"

"Heaps of people love me. It's one of the occupational hazards of being so good looking."

"Ann doesn't count," I said sarcastically.

Darien smirked, "Oh Serena, is that jealousy I hear?"

I know its not one of the most ladylike things to do but I swear I couldn't help it… I choked on my own saliva, "No. If you want to be with her, then do it. I'm sure she'd have no objections,"

"Why would I when I have you?"

"So now you're sweet, rather than annoying?"

"Hey, you're the one who brought up love" he smiled, whilst focusing on the road ahead.

I turned to look out the front window, biting my cheek to stop myself from smiling, "Yeah, well don't let it go to your head. I said it sarcastically."

"Mmhm," was the last thing that was said as Darien pulled into a secluded parking lot.

He parked the car and we both hopped out to be hit but a cool breeze.

Damn it. Forgot my jacket. "Where are we?"

"If you just wait until we get over the hill, you'll see." He laughed, taking my hand in his and pulling me close for a hug, "I'd give you my jacket but I haven't got one. It'll be warmer when we get over the hill though"

I snuggled close to him, "It's okay but can we get moving? I'm not sure how much more waiting I can take."

"Okay, okay. I guess you have waited long enough. Come on" he smiled, pulling me up the grassy hill. I had to stop midway to slip off my shoes because the stupid heels were digging into the soft ground.

Once we reached the top of the hill, I quickly realised that he'd brought me to the beach.

"The beach? Why didn't you tell me? I'm not exactly dressed for the sand" I complained.

He laughed, "call me selfish but if you had worn shorts and t-shirt, I would have missed out on seeing this dress."

I blushed and looked across the ocean. I was never able to take a compliment. The sky was noticeably darker than it was earlier in the day. I looked along the sand and saw a large tent set up beneath the few stars scattered across the sky.

"Please tell me that tent is ours"

"And if I didn't?"

My eyes narrowed, "I'd kill you… It's freezing out here"

He chuckled, "Then I guess I'm lucky that it is ours. Do you really think that I'd bring you out here at 7 o'clock at night with no shelter?"

I looked at him seriously, inside trying not to laugh, "Yes" I said simply, only to earn a playful nudge in the side.

"Okay, come on lets go." I said, in a hurry to get out of the wind.

"Don't you want to admire the view?" Darien asked jokingly, knowing I was freezing cold.

"Yep, it's real pretty… Now, Lets go!"

"Okay, Okay" he laughed.

At closer inspection I found that it was a tent- A tent with no floor. You know how camping tents have that tarp like floor? Well this one had none, nada, nil. I guess it would be nice to sit on the sand, without the wind giving you goose bumps.

Inside the tent was a couple fully pillows, a large blanket, an ipod and speakers playing some kind of romantic music and a picnic basket. It looked quite cosy.

"Wow," I breathed. "It's very nice"

Dariens arm wrapped around my waist from behind, "Although I'd like to take credit for it all, Ken and Greg where the ones who set it up.

I laughed, "And just when I was impressed with you."

"I can give you a million other reasons to be impressed with me," he whispered.

Catching the gist of what he was implying, I didn't reply. I was too embarrassed too, so even if I could, I wouldn't.

Darien chuckled against my ear, "Relax. Come one, lets eat. I bet you're hungry"

I frowned, "What are you trying to say? I eat too much?"

Darien raised an eyebrow, "what? Of course not. I just meant that if I'm starving, you must be at least hungry."

I lightened up, "Sorry. I'm just used to being defensive with everything you say… It's weird now that we're…"

"A couple?"

I smiled, "Yeah, its just weird. I've never done this before…"

"It's okay. Come on; let's see what the guys have left us with… Wow, you've got to hand it to them for their imagination. I ask for a nice selection of food… they give me pizza. I ask for a violin and they give me an ipod…"

I couldn't help but giggle as I picked up a torch that was lying on one of the pillows, "Let me guess, you asked for candles and they gave you a torch?"

He winked, "Spot on"

"Well you did expect maybe a little too much from them. Really? A violin? Where would they get someone who plays violin?"

Darien smirked, "The school band"

I laughed, "Some one willing to stand on the beach at 7 o'clock at night?"

"You'd be surprised, there are perks to being me"

"Such as?"

"An amazing girlfriend-"

"Who you've only known for a week" I cut in, earning a glare.

"- Getting people to do my biology homework for free-"

"Which you'll be doing by yourself for now on" I added quickly

" – Having the ability to get a violinist to stand on the beach at 7 o'clock at night to play romantic music for my amazing date with my amazing girlfriend."

I had to laugh at the last one, "so if you're king of the school, what does that make me?"

"My sexy, gorgeous, stunning queen. How does that sound?" he asked, hovering over me, making me feel flushed.

"Good, but do you know what sounds better?" I asked

"What?"

"Pizza!" I exclaimed, before he tackled me to the ground.

"So pizza is better that me? Or are you trying to eat enough food now for lots of stamina tomorrow?" he smirked

It took me a minute before I got what he was getting at. Don't judge me. I'm blond so I have an excuse! Not really but still!

"I'm kidding. You're too innocent for that anyway" he chuckled

Too innocent my ass! I'd show him. I pulled his head down for a kiss and slowly started to undo the buttons of his shirt, until it was sitting completely open, exposing his well-toned chest. Trying not to blush, I ran my nails down the sides of his abs and stopped down at his pants. I couldn't believe what I was doing. I undid his trousers, only pulling them down slightly, so I had access to his boxer's waistband. I continued running my nails down his chest and then across the top of his boxers. I could feel him tense up and I tried not to laugh. I pressed myself closer to him and moaned his name until I could tell he was fully aroused.

"Darien?" I moaned again.

"Yes?" he groaned back, as if it was a struggle to say anything.

I stopped pretending and leaned back so I could see his eyes, "Can you please pass me a piece of pizza?" I asked innocently.

I watched as his jaw dropped. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Why you little minx!"

I laughed harder, "Hey! You deserved it. Now pass the pizza."

"I would but seeing as I'm a little preoccupied at the moment, you can get it yourself."

"Aww, is Darien a little sexually frustrated?"

"You'd better believe it," he winced, the tent in his trousers proved it. I could see the 'pain' I had put him in and I sort of felt bad for what I had done.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked, unsure.

Darien let out a throaty chuckle, "There is plenty you could do, none that you'd be willing to do though."

"Like what?"

He cocked up an eyebrow, "You really want to know?"

I shook my head, "Maybe not"

I watched as he stood and headed over the tents exit, "I'll be right back, I'm just going to take a walk"

"Do you want me to come?"

He shook his head, "Best if you didn't" he said before he disappeared.

Was he angry at me? I was just playing around.

He returned shortly after and I wrapped my arms around his neck, "I'm sorry," I said before pulling him down for a kiss.

"Don't be sorry. Just when I thought I knew you, you go and surprise me. You're not as innocent as I thought" he winked

"I am every bit innocent. Just maybe not so much naive as you thought I was"

He planted a gentle kiss on my forehead and I was still struggling to get used to all this attention he gave me.

"Now lets get some of that pizza"

Hey guys, like I said, not the best but It was really just a time filler. Next chapter will be up tomorrow as I don't have time to type it up right now….. LOVE YOU sorry for taking so long!
