" Darien, how's the bet coming along?" questioned Jared, "I don't want you
backing out now do I?" Darien just looks down to his drink . The guys were in the family
room chatting. To tell the truth he didn't know what to say. He thought making this bet
woud be easy as 1,2,3 but now he doesn't know. She seems to be harder than he
thought, part of him wants to get this bet over with, the other part wanted to get to
know her better. There's something different about her than the usual women he met.
SHe seems so mysterious, as if she's keeping something away from people, but seem to
act like everythings okay. How did he get this thought? He didn't know, nor did he know
why. What did she mean watch out? Why is he mind screaming something out? What is
his mind saying? Can she be more than a bet? 'No' he thought "Of course not'
"Darien? You okay man?" Jared asked again. "You seem lost or something.
Having second thoughts?" Darien looked up to face the man, he smirked.
"Me? Having second thoughts? Who do you think I am? Of course not." he lied.
Suddenly the door opens and the women came in and went to their husbands and
fiancé. Serena takes a seat across from Darien.
"Welcome back ladies, how was it?"Darien asked, suddenly a cell phone rang.
Serena opened her purse and recieved the phone.
"Hello? Yes, is something wronng...uh-huh....he is ? Well...okay...I'll be right
there, uh-huh...thank you..bye." turning off the phone. She faced the group. "Mr.
Johnson's in town for only a couple of hours , I need to get back to the office."
"Alright Serena, Just make sure you come back to taste my splendid soup I'm
making for dinner okay?" Lita said.
" I wouldn't miss it for the world , bye!" and with that she left the door.
" Does she always work like that?" Dairen asked. He never would of thought a
women manage such a larger company.
"Yep that's our Serena, all work and no play. Why do you ask Darien?" Mina
grinned.
"No certain reason." he said simply.
_____________________________________________________________________
It was time for dinner and still no sign of Serena. Darien wondered where she
was.
"Where is that Serena? I hate it when's she late." Rei cried out with her
hungry stomach. Suddenly the phone rang. The maid went to get it. And came back
giving it to her mistress.
"It is ffrom Miss. Mathews to you mistress." Rei took the phone and thanked
her maid.
"Serena? Where are you ! You know we've been waiting for you ?!"
"Rei please forgive me but I can't make it back, all the employees are gone
when a big client from McGill Agency called and and the stocks are dropping. I have to
stay and keep things running or else, I don't think I'll be back till morning. "
"Serena it's okay but you should really check your health. The office has really
eaten you." Rei spoke with a concerned voice.
"I'm fine, please apologize to Lita for me. And everyone.I have to go okay?"
"Okay, Rena take care." Rei hung up te phone and turned to the group.
"Stocks are dropping, and she's the only one there. She won't be back 'till morning.
Darien can you do me a really huge favor?" Rei's eyes were begging.
"Sure, what do you want me to do?"
"Can you go and check on Serena? She's alway into work too much, I'm
worried for her. And since you can help her with the stocks and stuff. She really needs
halp and your the only one who can help her.Please?" Everyone looked at him for the
help. It was true. Only he can help her since everyone else was in different businesses.
Anyway he wanted to help her.
"Alright."
"Thank you so much. This means a lot to us." Amy said as she step up to him.
He nodded his head and went to his car.
___________________________________________________________________________
Thirty minutes later he parked his car in the large parking lot of D.M.A.C
Association copany building. He went to the door and entered. The building was big
with glass walls and smooth stone. Her entered the elevator and press the top number
button.
It took a while since the building was very large and tall. Darien stepped out to the hall
as the elevater doors opened. He walked a long the hall until he spotted a large door at
the end of the hall. He reached his goal and saw the golden name plate on it. It read:
Serena A. Matthews
President
____________________________________________________________________________
Serena jumped up from he seat as she heard a knock on the door. 'Who could
it be?' she thought. "Come in!" she said in an nervous voice. It was no one other than
Darien Shields.
"What are you doing here?" she asked the man who annoyed her.
"Nice way to greet a guest."
"You weren't invited." she napped." You still didn't answer my question. What
are you doing here?"
"Rei and the girls asked me to check on you. They're really worried. So can I
help you?"
"I don't need your help. So you can leave now ." He looks down on her desk
as found 5 cups mugs on her desk. 'She's working too hard'. He looks up at her and can
see that's her eyes were pretty tired.
"Come on . You look like hell, let me help you.I won't take no for an answer."
"You can help me by leaving." She fell back in her chair .
"How are the stocks coming?'' he knew she was too tired to argue. And he was
right. She let out a sigh of defeat and sunk in the chair.
"It's coming back up slowly. I don't think I can take it anymore."He walked
over to the computer and examines it. He type in a couple of keys . She looks to the
screen and then to him. 'He's so cute when he serious. Here I go again. Never fall for
a *guy* Serena.' her mind told her.
"How'd you do that?" She asked. The stocks were coming up quickly. But
still not enough.
"I have more experience than you, you know. "
"Where have you been? Why didn't you just come here earlier and get this
over with? "She joked. 'Great ,I'm joking with the man.' He just chuckled.
"I'll show you." Serena and Darien looked at the screen as he explained to
her how things goes. Serena paying all her attention to it of course.
______________________________________________________________________
Serena sat in the sofa next to Darien as she talked to him. She told her
everything about her. He told her everything about him. She learned that Darien lost
his parents in a car accident and went ot live with his uncle and was taught in great
schools where her learned most of his intelligence. She also learned that he was a very
funny person. Making her laugh more than she thought she could. The more she got to
know him the more she knew. As if she was him herself. If she gotten a list of Darien's
quilities.
The list would be long and the good quility would be longer than the bad ones.
Serena wasn't the only one who got some leasons, Darien got his fair share of
things he found out about Serena. Her mother and father left her at early age and was
raise with her aunt. Who taught her most of everything she knew. Her aunt sent her to
the best schools as well. She graduated at the top of her class. Darien thought that she
was sweet on the outside but sour on the inside. But now he knew she was beautiful
inside -out. His fellings toward her.
"Is it 1:00 already? God that was fast. I really want to thank you for helpnig me.
I couldn't have done it wit.." before she could finish Darien pulled her into his embrace
and kiss her passionately in the lips. She tried to pushed him out but he was too strong.
Finally she stopped and snaked her arms around the back of his neck. His tongue made
it's way into her mouth. She only returned the kiss. After what seems like an eternity,
they broke away from the kiss. Breathing unevenly. He looked down at her. She was so
beautiful. She looked up at him. She was lost in those deep blue eyesof of his.
"You're welcome." Suddenly he picked her up in his arms and swung her
around. They laughed the rest of the night.
To be continued....
