Chapter Thirty-Five

Honeymoon

----------------

"You know, we never got to go on our honeymoon." Serena said as she tucked Rini in.

"Well we couldn't just leave her. She was too young."
"What about now. She's almost four. Can't we go now?"

"We need a babysitter."
"We've got plenty of friends who will love to take care of her. We could leave her with Mina and Josh. Rini loves Brad and Britt."

"We can call them in the morning and ask. You still want to go to Florida?"
"Yah. I've never been there."

"Let's get some sleep then." He said as the two walked to their room.

----------------

"You sure you don't mind?" Serena asked.

"Of course! You two go and have fun. We'll watch Rini."

"Thanks so much Mina!"

"Anytime Rena. Where are you guys going?"
"Just down to Florida."

"I've always wanted to go there."
"Maybe when the kids are older, we can all go down there. Have a big family vacation."

"That sounds good." She paused. "Got to go though. Brad's crying."
"Okay. I'll call you later with details."
"Talk to you then." She said hanging up.

"Mina said they can watch her."

"So the question is when do you want to leave?"
"What about this weekend. It gives us enough time to pack for ourselves and Rini."
"Sounds good."

----------------

"Yah, we're going to Florida for our honeymoon."
"Where?" Amy asked.

The girls had gathered at the Crown before Serena had to leave.

"Not sure. Darien never did tell me exactly where we'd be staying. All he said was that it is somewhere on the coast."

"Sounds romantic." Mina sighed.

"I can't wait."
"How long will you be gone?"
"About a week."

"Come on! We got to get you some new outfits!" Lita said pulling Serena from the seat.

"O-okay?"

The girls all hopped in Mina's van and sped off towards the mall.

"We have to get you some cute new clothes."
"And bathing suits."

"But I already have enough."
"But Darien's seen you in all those already. You need something new, cute, exotic." Mina said.

"You make it sound like I need to seduce him."
"It's your honeymoon. You do want to seduce him." Lita said.

"Fine whatever."

----------------

"Here. What about this one?" Raye asked. She held a strapless bikini top and boy short bottoms. The tops had roses on the front with the stems going to the clasp in the back while the bottoms were a matching color with crescent moons on them.

"It's beautiful! I have to have it!"

"I knew you'd say that."

"Hey Rena, what about this?" Mina asked. She walked up with a see through nightgown.

"MINA! I can pick out my own lingerie thank you."

"Okay, just trying to help."

"You guys can stick with the clothes, I'll pick out my own lingerie later."
"Okay, come on. I saw some cute sun dresses over there." Raye said pulling Serena towards them.

The girls spent the rest of the day picking out different cute outfits for Serena to wear during her honeymoon. Soon Mina dropped each back off at the Crown so they could get their cars and head home.

Serena decided to stop back at the mall and pick up some lingerie. I know I shouldn't be embarrassed to get lingerie in front of my friends, but it's for Darien's eyes only. She giggled to herself. She pulled into the parking lot and got out. She quickly made her way to Victoria Secrets and looked through the lingerie. Now what to get. She looked, but nothing really caught her eye, until she found a nightgown. I have to have this. She picked it up from the rack. It was flawless. It was completely see through, but it had two roses, like her bikini top, that would perfectly cover her breasts and another rose towards the bottom in the center. The bottom rose had a stem that went down a little. When she turned it around, the stem reappeared to go up the gown a little. She quickly walked to the checkout counter and bought it.

She threw the bag into another bag under her new box of tampons. Darien won't even touch that bag. She thought and giggled to herself. She then drove home.

"Need help honey?" Darien asked as Serena struggled to open the door.

"Yah, please." She said as Darien took the bags from her right arm.

"I didn't know you were going shopping."
"I didn't either, but the girls were determined that I needed new clothes for our honeymoon."

"Well I'm sure you got some nice outfits out of it."
"You should see them!" She said as she walked into the bedroom. Darien followed with his bags.

He pulled out the bikini that Raye picked out. "I like this." He said.

"Me too. Perfect isn't it?"
"Yah." He placed it back in the bag and moved to the next. "Uh, I think this belongs in the bathroom."

"Well I'm sorry I'm a girl who needs these things." She grinned. She got up and put the bag on the counter. Knew it. She giggled to herself and returned to her room. "Where's Rini?"
"She fell asleep on the couch. I put her in her room."
"Oh, okay. So are you ready for tomorrow?"
"I've been ready for a while now."

"Let's get these folded and then we can sleep."
"I'm exhausted."
"Me too."

----------------

"Bye honey. You be good for Auntie Mina and Uncle Josh." Serena said kissing Rini on the forehead.

"Bye munchkin."
"Bye-bye mummy. Bye-bye daddy." She called running into the other room.

"She won't even miss us." Serena faked a hurt expression.

"Just wait until tomorrow. We'll get the call of 'where are you? I want you home.'" Darien said.

"She'll be fine." Mina said.

"We'll call and check up on her tomorrow." Darien said.

"Okay. Have fun you two." Josh said.

"Bye." The two called as they headed back to their car.

The drove to the airport and waited for their flight to be called.

"Flight 138 to Florida is now boarding at gate 7B." An announcer called over the PA.

"That's us. Come on babe." Darien said.

The quickly boarded their plane and it took off.

About two hours later, they landed in Florida.

"Sere, we're here. Wake up." Darien whispered.

"I-I fell asleep?"

"Uh-huh. Come on. Let's get our luggage." He said leading her off the plane.

Day One of Five

"Dare, this place is beautiful." She said in amazement.

"Go take a look at the view."

She walked to the wall that was complete windows.

"Amazing." She breathed leaping into his arms.

"I knew you'd like it."
"But I don't like it, I fucking love it!" She said before kissing him.

"And the plus side, we have a hot tub on the balcony that over looks the beach and these windows are one way. They are mirrors on the other side."

"This is perfect."

"Come on; let's go check out the water."
Darien carried their suitcases into the bedroom and they both changed.

"DA-RI-EN! PUT-ME-DOWN!" Serena yelled pounding on his back.

He ran into the water until he was in it up to his chest. "Okay." He threw her in head first.

She poked her head out of the water. "I'm gonna kill you for that!"

"Hey, you're the one who told me to put you down."
She stood and walked closer to him. "I didn't mean in the water. You're so dead!"
He lowered his lips to her hear. "I don't think I will mind dieing if this is the last thing I'll see."
"Huh?"

"Look down." He whispered.

She looked down expecting to see her rose bikini top, but she saw nothing but her bare breasts. She immediately covered herself. "You know it's your fault. Now help me find my top!"

"Wait here. I think I see it." He said pointing behind her.

She went back under the water so only her head was showing as Darien began Swimming towards the bloating top

"Now what would a topless lady be doing in the middle of this lake?" Someone asked from behind Serena.

"E-excuse me?" She asked turning around but kept her spot under the water.

He reached his hand around her and touched the benter of her back. "You're topless in the middle of the lake."
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" She said pushing against him

"Now why would I leave a very beautiful, young lady alone in the middle of a public lake?"
"Because she's married to man who will beat the living shit out of you if you don't." Darien's voice said from behind Serena. He stopped in front of Serena and handed her the top. "Now I suggest you leave my wife alone and get the fuck away from us."

"Okay man, back off." He said before quickly swimming away.

"I don't really feel like swimming much anymore." She said after she put her top back on.

"I'm sorry Sere."
"It's not your fault."
"Come on. Let's go. We can just relax in the hot tub."

"I was thinking of relaxing in bed." She said wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Or both." He grinned slyly.

"You're gonna run me dry, aren't you?"
"Probably." He said as they began the walk up to their condo.

----------------

Day Two of Five

"Want some breakfast?" Darien asked getting out of bed.

"I don't' think I can move even if I tried."
"Are you that sore?"
"No, I'm fucking exhausted. How can you be so awake?"
"Donno. Would you like breakfast in bed then?"
"Sure, as long as I'm not sleeping when you get back."
"I'm sure I'll find a way to wake you up." He said slyly.

"I'm sure you would."
He walked downstairs and made some french toast. He put the food on a tray and carried it to his and Serena's room.

"So what do we have planned for today?" Serena asked before taking a bite.

"Absolutely nothing. We could just hang out on the beach, swim, anything you want to do."
"Let's try swimming today."
"Okay."
"As long as you promise not to throw me in again."
"I promise."
"Good. Now finish your breakfast like a good boy."
"Will I get desert?"
"You don't eat desert with breakfast…desert is only for dinner."
"Will I get some desert with dinner tonight then?"
"Maybe. I have a surprise for you tonight."
"I like surprises."
"You won't get it if you don't eat."
He shoved the rest of the piece of french toast in his mouth. "I ea-ing! Spee!" He said with his mouth full.
