Friday: 5:45 PM
'My, how sloooow three days can go!" Serena thought as she started preparing for her date with the gorgeous Gabriel (2hours, 15 minutes, and 56 seconds to go).
She was daydreaming all the possibilities of tonight's outcomes. "Dance with you, sure.... Kiss you, sure.... Marry you, why not?" She giggled to herself as she waltzed over to her bathroom to take a bath. She filled the bathtub with steaming water, singing quietly to herself. 'Music!' she thought, 'I should play some music.'
So while the bathtub was filling, Serena grabbed her stereo and her favorite CD, VAST's Music for the People. She popped the CD in. While the sensual sounds poured over her, she stripped and slowly smeared into the hot water.
***You look beautiful tonight, Serena." Said Gabriel, circling around her.
He was looking good as well, wearing black jeans, white undershirt covered only by a black leather jacket. His blond hair fell lightly across his blue eyes. Before Serena had a chance to thank him and return the compliment, Gabriel bent forward and kissed her. His soft, passionate kiss made her melt...***
Serena jerked awake from her daydream with a surprised look on her face. 'That wasn't Gabriel at the door,' she thought, 'That was Stanton.'
She had forgotten in all the excitement and wishing for the last three days to pass that Stanton had warned her about Gabriel. Something was after her, but she forgot.
'No, Stanton's wrong!' Serena yelled at herself, 'He is just jealous because we felt a connection! He probably made the whole thing up, no one is really after me.'
Serena reassured herself and got out of the tub, wrapped herself in a towel, and stared into the mirror. "Tonight is going to be great!" she said to her reflection. It was now 6:20.
Serena put on her favorite new outfit and put on some makeup. (Not a lot, just to accent her already beautiful features.) By the time she was done and ready to leave, it was 7:55... and the doorbell rang.
"Serena!" Collin yelled from downstairs. "Some guy is here, he claims you have a date!"
Serena walked slowly down the stairs, one hand on the railing and the other lying coolly on her hip. She let a sly smile creep on her face when she noticed that both Collin and Gabriel's jaws had dropped. And they had good cause.
Serena had a black skirt that reached just above her knees on. It had red jewels embroidered into the shape of flames. Her red top matched the skirt, except the colors were reversed. Her black shoes were shiny and made her feet look, in her opinion, cute. Her hair was loosely pulled back into a ponytail, but with ringlets tickling her face.
"You, uh, you didn't tell me you had a date..." Collin stuttered.
"You didn't ask," Serena said simply as she passed by him, into the arms of the awaiting Gabriel, "Don't wait up."
"You look...I mean, you're so..." Gabriel was trying to say, not being very successful, as they were walking to his car.
"Thanks," Serena started to say, but suddenly stopped when she saw his car. "Is that," she began, clearing her throat, "Is that a BMW Z-3 Roadster!?" Serena pointed to her dream car.
"Very good, impressed?" Gabriel asked, opening up the door for her.
"It's my dream car." Serena spurted out. "Where are we going?" She asked, once Gabriel was sitting next to her.
"It's a surprise...but I think you will like it." And with that, he started the car and they were off.
For ten minutes, they talked about all the same stuff that normal teens start a conversation with when they have their first date. But when the reached the country road that would lead them into another city, the conversation switched to more personal things.
Gabriel confessed about a past love that broken his heart and how about how he didn't feel attracted to anyone since, that was, until Tuesday night.
Serena talked about how difficult it was to grow up without a mother. She confessed that it was usually just Collin and her at home because of their father worked all the time. Gabriel seemed to really care.
Twenty minutes into the car ride, they were laughing and talking just like they were old friends who have just reunited after a long time apart.
A half an hour into the ride, the car slowed down and then slowly came to a halt.
"Oh, no." Serena heard Gabriel say to himself, slamming his hands on the steering wheel.
"What's wrong, has this happened before?" Serena asked, peering over the dash to see the hood.
"Yes, it has happened lots of times," Gabriel said, unhooking his seatbelt, "We ran out of gas."
Serena started laughing and shortly, Gabriel joined in.
"Do you have a cell with you?" Gabriel asked after the laughing died down.
"Yeah, I should." Serena reached into her black sequenced purse and pulled out a note instead of her cell.
"Borrowed cell, remind me to give back later, Later, Collin."
Was scribbled on the note in what looked like in haste.
Noticing the note, Gabriel sighed and said to Serena, "Up for a bit of a walk?"
Serena gave a chuckle and agreed.
"You aren't from around here, are you?" Serena asked after a few minutes of silence. She wanted to know why at sometimes his voice seemed to slip into an accent. They were walking back down the same dark country street they just came from.
"Uh, no, actually. I am originally from London." Gabriel said in a sad voice.
"Why did you move to America?" Serena asked, noticing how Gabriel seemed to grow dim with the question.
"Well, when my parents died, I had to move out here with my uncle and aunt, whom I am living with now."
"Sorry to hear about that, when did it happen?" Serena asked as she looked into his mind, incredibly, she was blocked from it. "Strange..." She said to herself, for she had never been blocked like that before, only with...Followers..."
"What's strange?" He asked as a smile returned to his face.
"Um, nothing..." Since the first time they started talking, she turned her gaze to the road ahead.
