The Taylor's 2
Chapter 25
Rei looked to Serena as she asked "so Blake is really back in town" Serena looked to her as she said "yes" as they continued there stroll though the park with little Michael as she told her "and he also hooked up with Sam"
Rei looked to Serena as she told her "those two deserve each other. Let them make each others lives a living hell and leave yours alone"
Serena smiled at her friend as she told her "I wish. It seems they have joined forces together to make my life go to hell and poor Darien is working night and day trying to find some way to get around all the road blocks the Montgomery family keeps putting up"
Rei looked to Serena as she told her "sounds like he's got his hands full." Serena let out a small sigh as she told her "yeah I knew when I took on the Montgomery family there would be trouble, but I never wanted to drag Darien into the middle of all this, but he's been really great"
Rei looked to her as she said "is that so. So how great is he? Any old chemistry heating up between you two and don't try to deny it we've all seen it"
Serena just shook her head as she told her "I don't know one minute yes and then the next we're just lawyer and client again"
Rei looked to Serena as she told her "I think Darien thinks of you as more then just a client Serena". Serena looked at her as she said "I know, I guess things would just be easier if it were that way. I don't think I can handle another relationship right now"
Rei looked back at her friend as she told her "no one ever said love was easy, just look at me and Chad we fight all the time, but here we are with a baby and still no wedding date set"
Serena smiled at her friend as she told her "don't worry I'm sure Chad is just waiting for the right time to pop the question" Rei smiled back at her friend as she asked "when will that be before or after Michael finishes college?"
Serena shook her head as she said "oh come on Rei you know Chad loves you and I'm sure he will ask you soon. Hopefully before Michael starts kindergarten" the girls shared a small laugh as Rei's cell phone started to ring as she picked up and said "hello" as she heard Darien's voice on the other line say "Rei it's Darien have you seen Serena? I've been looking for her all over"
Rei told him "sure hold on she's right here with me" as she passed the phone to Serena she told her "it's Darien"
Serena took the phone from Rei as she asked him "why didn't you try to reach me on my phone" as Darien told her "I did about a hundred times" as Serena realized she forgot her cell phone at home and her face got all red as she told him "sorry I must have forgotten it at home. So what's up?"
Darien was trying not to get angry after telling her for the hundredth time not to forget her cell phone in case he needed to get in touch with her. He told her "where are you? I need to see you right away"
Serena was not really sure what this was all about, but told him "alright I'll be over as soon as we finish our walk", but Darien was to impatient as he told her "no that's to long. Where are you? I'll come and pick you up"
Serena confused about what the huge hurry was told him "I'll meet you at the corner of Waverly and Lexington"
Darien agreed as he told her "okay I'll see you there" as he hung up the phone in a hurry as Serena handed the phone to Rei as she asked her "I wonder what's bugging him? He didn't mention anything to you did he?"
Rei just shook her head as she told her "no he didn't say a word just that he needed to talk to you. Why? What's going on?" Serena looked to her as she said "he said he needs to see me right away, that it couldn't wait"
Rei smiled at her friend like they were both two school girls again as she told her "maybe he just wants to tell you he loves you." Serena pushed Rei's shoulder as she told her "oh get real Darien's got bigger things to worry about then love right now doesn't he."
Rei just looked to her friend as she told her "well you two have been spending a lot of time together lately and what is so important he can't just say it over the phone"
Serena thought about it for a moment as she started to laugh and she looked to Rei as she told her "oh look what you have me thinking. Come on it would never happen, would it?"
Rei looked to Serena as she told her "well I guess we'll find out soon enough" as she watched Darien's car turn the corner.
They walked up to the corner as Serena bent down and gave little Michael a kiss on the cheek as she told him "bye Mikey I'll see you in a little while okay" then looked back up at Rei as she told her "I'll call you later when I find out more okay"
Rei shook her head as she told her "okay and try not to freeze up to much if he says you know what? And make sure you say it back nothing turns a guy off more then if you don't say it back right away"
Serena shook her head saying "it has nothing to do with that" as she secretly wondered "at least I don't think it does" she got into Darien's car and put on her seat belt as she asked "so what's up?"
Darien looked to her as he said "I have
something I need to tell you"
Serena felt like her heart was about to skip a beat
was Rei right did he drive all the way down here just to tell her he
still loved her and what's worse did she still love him? Did she?
Serena smiled up at Darien as she asked "What is it?"
Darien looked to her as he said "the Montgomery's are at it again"
Serena a little surprised, but trying not to show it as she turned to Darien and asked "what do you mean? What are they up to now?"
Darien looked to her as he said "try to stay calm, but your court date has been pushed up a bit"
Serena looked at him as she asked "a bit what do you mean by a bit"
Darien looked to her as he said "it's Saturday"
Serena looked back as she questioned "a week from Saturday you meant right." Darien shook his head as he told her "no Saturday as in 4 days from now"
Serena felt like she was having a full scale panic attack as she asked "Saturday how the hell can it be Saturday. Saturday is way to soon it's not enough time to prepare. We don't have enough on him yet, there has to be more Darien you have to do something. Can't you find some way to stall or something?"
Darien shook his head as he told her "I tried and there was something else that I needed to tell you"
Serena looked at him as she asked "what? What else could there possibly be"
Darien looked to her as he told her "the reason why it was pushed up so quickly is because Judge Reynolds is proceeding over the case and they had to do it before he left on vacation Sunday"
Serena looked at him shocked why she was so surprised she didn't know she should have expected something like this as she looked at Darien and asked "Reynolds as in the same Judge Reynolds Alexander Montgomery is old college buddies with, so whatever happened to a fair trial"
Darien looked to her as he said "well judge Reynolds has promised you an unbiased trial"
Serena looked at him as she said "do you really believe that?"
Darien looked at her as he said "not in the least, that's why it's my job to find such great ammunition on Blake that not even Reynolds can turn his back on it and I have 4 days to do it. You in? It could be a couple of all niters."
Serena nodded her head yes as she told him "of course I'm in" as Darien's cell phone began to ring he picked it up said "hello" and then handed it to Serena saying "it's for you" she looked to Darien asking "who is it" Darien looked to her and said "Rei" Serena smiled back and said "I'll make it quick, I'm just tell her I won't be home for a while
Darien shook his head as Serena picked up the phone "yeah hi Rei, yeah I know what's up. The Montgomery's are at it again my trial has been pushed up to Saturday and Darien and I will be pulling a couple of all niters trying to get ready for it"
Rei said back "I'll call the rest of the girls and we'll meet you at Darien's in ten minutes"
Serena told her back "I can't ask you to do that you have a new baby at home" but Rei interrupted her before she could finish the sentence saying "Chad can watch Michael for a while. Now I'm going to hang up I'll call the rest of the girls and meet you in ten minutes."
Serena barely got thank you out of her mouth as Rei hung up the phone. She turned back to Darien and said the girls are coming too.
