I want to say thanx to Maria Green, Usagi Bunny, Diana Moon, Queen Sereya, and of course Lady Ci for the encouragement, because I would have probably stopped after Chapter 1. If I forget to mention you, blame my head and not my heart. Enjoy minna!

Next Day
First thing that Serena did was call Mina and asked her to do her a favor. " Hey Mina....oh I'm sorry that I woke you up. It's me, Serena.....I know, I know that I haven't spent time with you are the girls lately, and I will make up for that but listen, I need to ask you a question. Alright here it is...could you take my work to our physics class for the next week and bring notes to me? I promise that I will explain later this afternoon.....thanks so much, sweetie. Love ya like a sister...bye. *Good, now I have at least a week to gather my thoughts and come up with a plan of action. However there is no way that I am facing him until I feel strong enough. What happened still confuses me.......*
Flashback
As their hands touched, there was a current of electricity that burned through the both of them. The smiles that were on their lips seemed to fade as they continued to look into each other's eyes. Minute by minute, it seemed that their faces inched closer and closer until all they saw was each other. With all logic, thrown out the window, their lips met in a tentative kiss. However, it did not stay that way for long. When their lips met, Darien and Serena both felt the longing that they had been trying to supress for months come to the surface.
*This is so much better than all the dreams I've had...* Serena thought blissfully as she slipped her arms around his neck, in order to bring him closer for a more passionate embrace.
End Flashback
*Then he had to go and start thinking again and open his BIG mouth......*
Flashback
"You do know that this cannot happen again Miss Taylor.....* Darien started. As he continue to talk, he slowly saw the light in Serena's eyes begin to dull and finally fade out. *You idiot, now look what you've done*, but before he could fix this, Serena spoke up. "I am extremely sorry, for what just happened. I..I...I'll go now." Serena rushed to get around the office gathering up her things. Before Darien could say another word, she was out the door, slamming it shut behind her, running towards her room.
End Flashback
*There is no way that I can go to class and face him after what happened. I hope that the girls can help me on this one.*
Classroom....That Day
"Alright class, we will begin the day's lesson with vectors. If you have been reading..." the professor said as he started class.
However, it seemed that one particular person, namely Darien Centuri, was highly distracted, and it was beginning to attract attention. *Where in the world is she? She is hardly ever late to class and if she is, she is certainly here before the Davis starts the lecture material. I just have to see her. I can't get her, THAT kiss, and the feelings that went along with it out of my mind. However, I wish I could shut out that look in her eyes, when I opened my BIG mouth... * Darien didn't snap out of his little world, until he heard his name being called. "Mr. Centuri.......Mr. Centuri......DARIEN!" Now that got his attention. "Y...y..yes?" "Class has been over for the last ten minutes, and I was wondering if you wanted to leave or stay here and bed down for the night." the professor smiled at him. "Oh..oh...excuse me professor. I'm sorry for spacing out like that" Darien sheepishly replied. "It's just that I have been under a lot of stress lately with my research, trying to get it published and preparing for graduation, etc." "Oh, so the boy wonder is human after all. It's not a crime to not be able to do everything all the time. Take some time to enjoy life while your young, because you might just regret it later in life. Take from someone who knows. No one your age should be so stuffy and so stressed. See you Wednesday Darien." the professor called out as he left the room, leaving Darien to contemplate his words.
*Maybe I should try to slow down a little bit...take time to smell the roses... (AN: I couldn't help putting that in there!)but with my research and everything else, I don't see how that is possible. Plus, I have this new situation with Serena that I have resolve, or else I'll have a lot of sleepless nights like I had last night ahead of me. I know, I'll call her and ask her to meet me, in neutral territory, so we both won't be tempted. Yeah...that's what I'll do* Now that he had a solution, Darien packed up his things and went straight to the observatory.
Student Union...Later That Day
"And that is the end of it...what do you think?" Serena asked her four friends, who had looks of equal shock on their faces. Mina was the first to recover. "Sere, I can't believe you've been holding out on us so long. This has been going on for months and now you are just telling us?" she stopped when she took a pause for air. "I didn't want to tell anyone, because I thought that it was just a passing phase, you know the whole handsome teacher and lovestruck student scenario, but now, I'm not so sure. I think that my feelings run deeper than the average crush. It also doesn't help that he is only 2 years older than me" Serena finished glumly. This time it was Lita that took action. "Awww...don't take it so hard girlfriend," she said as she enveloped Serena into a big hug. "Yeah Serena, all of us will be graduating in a month. There is a big world out there waiting." Amy chipped in. However, Raye was silent and seemed to look deep in thought. After the mini cheer Serena up session, the other girls rushed off, claiming schoolwork, leaving Serena and Raye at the table.
Raye finally broke the silence. "Serena, I didn't want to say this in front of everyone else, but I know that you are in love with him." "WHAT?!?!?!!? Raye, what in the world gave you that idea?" "Do you really want answers. Alright here they are. One, you used to hang with us all the time, but when he came along, you started canceling on us and we barely saw you anymore. Two, when we did see you, all you talked about was Darien this and Darien that, and finally the pain in your eyes when you talk about him now. Is that enough?"
At this point, Serena was close to tears. *Did I really abandon my friends for him? What in the world came over me? Could Raye be right? Is this love that I feel for him? I barely even know him...* Serena became engrossed in her own thoughts as Raye continued speaking.
"And another thing......Darien is right over there!", that should get her attention, Raye smirked. "Where?!?!?!?" Serena jumped, giving Raye the desired reaction. "See what I mean....you can't get your mind off of him. I think that you know what you have to do." Raye finished as she got up, pulling Serena up with her. "C'mon we have to get our work done if we want to graduate." With that, the two young women bundled up and headed outside into the cold weather.
University Observatory
"Damn....why does everything look like her? I could have sworn that I saw a new constellation." Darien groaned as he pulled his eyes away from the telescope lens. *What am I'm going to do. She is invading every aspect in my life. I can't even enjoy my research anymore, because I shared it with her. I am finally able to admit that my feelings for her are more than infatuation, but is it love? And if it is, how am I going to deal with it.....maybe I need to take a walk. Let the cold air clear my head a little. With that, Darien grabbed his coat and started walking, the wind ruffling his hair.
Campus, Late Evening
Cold air whipped around Serena, but she didn't even seem to notice. After trying to go to sleep for an hour, she decided that a walk might do the trick. After pulling on some sweats and putting on hat, gloves, and coat, she went out the door, in search of peace. Ten minutes later, she arrived at 'her' bench and sat down, allowing the cold air to clear her mind. As she leaned back, she opened her eyes to the nightly sky, and was struck by the beauty she saw there.
"The sky seem so clear tonight. I wonder if Darien is taking advantage......Uhhhhh, why won't he leave my head. Raye is right, I do love him. I might not know everything little detail about his life, but I know enough about HIM that I love him. Why did this happen now? My last semester in college and I fall in love with my TA. I wonder what Mom would say." After realizing that she was freezing, Serena decided to return to her room. However, she didn't notice the shadowy figure leaning against the tree that heard every word she said.
to be continued......
I think that this in long enough, so I'm going to stop it here. Who is the shadowy figure and now that Serena has admitted to herself that she is in love with Darien what will she do? Stay tuned
p.s.--- Never walk around a college campus late at night by yourself.....use the buddy system! Just had to say that!
