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


Serena slowly tip-toed behind Darien's lead to his bedroom.
Watching every little corner, not making a peep. Quickly they enter his
door.

"You can use the shower." he said while pointing to the bathroom doorway.
He looked down at her blushed face. Smiled and leaned down and kissed
her lips.

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

Half and hour later...

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

Darien (who was wearing just a pair of shorts on) was watching
Serena ( who was wearing one of his white dress shirts which is obviously
too big for her). They were on his bed as he laid on his stomach. Serena
was by his side looking at some looking at his boating trophies. Suddenly
something caught her attention, and she got up to her feet and approached
the object. Darien looked at her confused. She picked up what seems to be
a piece of paper, and turned her face back to him.

"Where did you get this?" she looked at him half mad, half amused.
She sat back down on the bed next to him. He glanced at the piece
of paper.

"Well, you kind of left it behind, and I picked it up for you." he said
nervously. She grinned at him. And pushed him on his back.

"After I told you to get away from me?" she said as she got on top of
him.

"I didn't know you didn't want me to, uh.... sorry?" he said expecting her
to do something.

"You're going to be punished you know?" She leaned down and kissed him.

"Uh-huh! Busted!" a voice exclaimed. They broke away and stared at the
ten figures standing before them wide eyed. Serena quickly jumped off
Darien who was trying to find an excuse. "Don't try to get out of this one!"

"It's not what it seems!" Darien blurted out.

"We didn't do anything!" Serena added.

"Yeah right! And I'm the from Mars." Rei said sarcastically.
(AN: She really is isn't she?)

"We accidentally fell in the pool so..."

"I didn't know you took this bet so seriously!" Jared pointed out. Everyone
froze. He looked at them."Oops."

"What bet!?" Serena shouted out. She looked at Jared then to Darien who
was quiet while looking down on the floor.

"Well.." Jared started."Darien was convincing me that he could get anyone
he wants, and I didn't believe him so we made a bet and I chose you since
you always turn down all those men, and..." he didn't finish. Serena looked
back to Darien. He eyes filled with tears. Slowly falling her eyes.

"Is that true?" her eyes narrowed at his guilty face. He looked up to her
beautiful face and nodded.

"But it's not like that Serena, believe me. When I got to know you I..." but
was cut off by a sharp slap in his face.

"And what , that you really cared for me? Loved me? How could you?
I thought you were different! You're just like them. Why is this happening
to me again. Why? Why!?" before he could answer she raced out of the door.
He ran and followed her.

"Serena! Stop running from me. Listen to me!"

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


Darien looked everywhere. He was about to give up when he
found her sitting on her bed. Drawing something. Dressed in a simple
blue dress to her knees. (He has a shirt on now if you didn't know)

"Serena." She looked up at him with cold and hurt eyes. "I can explain
everything."

"I'm listening." He was shocked, he was expecting her to slap him,
tell him to get out, yell. But she didn't. He smiled and took her hands
in his.

"Follow me please." He begged. She looked into his deep blue eyes and
way the sincere she felt as she did and nodded.

"I'm only giving you one chance." He looked at her .

"Alright." he smiled.

He led her out the door that led to the garden. She looked up from the ground and
gasped. Her eyes wide. There was candles everywhere, roses, lots of roses.
She turned to him. He smiled at her. He led her to the gazebo and they sat
down together.

"I made that bet with Jared before I even got to know you. I was so convinced to myself.
I thought I could have anything I wanted. I felt like I needed someone ever since I was an
orphan. But here was something that I was always missing in my heart, and when I met
you Serena, you filled that dark space of mine with love and light. When I saw you come
home with Kevin, I was jealous, I went crazy. I thought I lost you. I never want to loose you.
Please Serena believe me, I love you. I love you! I never loved anyone in my entire life until
now. Please down hold your back on me now Serena, I need you." She looked at him.
'Does he really love me? What if he's just like that others? But his eyes tell me he different.'
She smiled at him and hugged him. He was shocked again, she accepted him. After all he's
done. He hugged her back. And kissed her lips passionately. They broke when it seems
to be an eternity. She looked at him. He smiled at her. "Serena?"

"Yes?"

"What did you mean when you said that I'm just like the others? Why did you say
it's happening again? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." They looked at each other.

"I want to tell you. You see...before I met you. I was with this man. I thought I loved him, but he
broke my heart and left me for a women. I tried dating after that but it keeps happening until I
decided to hate men. Then I met you." She looked up at him. "I don't know why, but I just can't
stop myself from falling for you. I fell in love with you. I didn't know if you felt the same way. Then
I saw you and Stacy and was very jealous. What happen to her anyway?"

"Serena, Stacy doesn't mean a thing to me. I love you. I guess I was jealous when I saw you with
Kevin too." Serena giggled. Darien looked down at her confused. "What?"

"I have something to tell you. Kevin well... you see... Kevin's... really... my cousin." He looked
at her shocked.

"What!?" She giggled at him. He chuckled. "That's funny."

"You did all this for me?" she said as she looked around her. "It's too much."

"Serena? Will you have the honor of being my wife?" he can see the tears in her eyes.

"Darien!" she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. He responded.

"Does that mean yes?"

"You know it!" He kissed her again.
