Darien's Apartment-That Night
Darien walked into his apartment still in a daze over Serena's words. He slowly made it to his bedroom and prepared for bed. As his head hit the pillow, he immediately fell into a dreamworld.
Begin Dream
Darien looks around the church at the family and friends that are gathered there to celebrate this special day with him. His best man and childhood friend, Andrew, notices that Darien's knees start to knock together. " I guess asking if you are nervous is a stupid question, huh?" Darien turned around and smiled weakly. As he turned back around to face the altar, he heard the first strains of music signaling the entrance of the bridal party. Serena's friends Amy, Lita, and Mina entered the church, with Raye bringing up the rear as the Maid of Honor. After this the flower girl and ringbearer walked down the aisle to the cooing noises from the audience.
Finally, the wedding march started and the rear doors were thrown open. There stood Serena, on the arm of her father, in the most beautiful wedding gown ever designed. She opted to go for the simple and elegant look with white silk molding to her curves to end at her ankles and trailing behind her. The bodice was cut into a V, where a strand of pearls rested. Her hair was done up in a bun, with trendils skimming her face, and a sheer veil covering her gorgeous features.
Darien was struck dumb by the sight his bride made. He was pretty sure that his mouth hung open, and was confirmed when Andrew commented," Close your mouth, or you'll catch flies." Darien promptly closed his mouth but continued to stare at the vision that was coming towards him. *She is more beautiful than all the stars I've ever seen*, Darien thought to himself with pride. Once she reached him, she smiled, and put her hands in his. Together, they faced the priest who then started the ceremony.
The ceremony was a beautiful one and there was not a dry eye in the house as the two lovers exchanged vows. As the priest proclaimed them man and wife, Serena and Darien gazed into each other's eyes. As if on automatic, their faces seemed to inch forward closer and closer, their lips just an breath away.....
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darien popped up, believing that he was in the middle of a war. He looked around, until he found the source of the noise. Pushing a button, he turned off the alarm. Now starting to wake up fully, he also started to remember some of the details of his dream. *My wedding with Serena as the bride....like that would happen in a thousand years, especially the way things are now. She loves me, I heard her and now that I know that, I can finally admit to myself that I love her too. However, that doesn't change the fact that we are still have a student-teacher relationship. What am I'm going to do?* With this problem to think about, Darien slowly got ready for the day. As he was drinking his morning coffee, he glanced at the faculty calendar that he hung up on his wall. What caught his eye nearly made him spit out the coffee he just sipped.
There in bold letters were: December 15-Fall Commencement. *Only 27 days until she graduates.......then she will be gone* Darien mused to himself. Then the lightbulb went off. *Wait!! That means in 27 days she will a graduate and therefore no longer a student, which means that I will finally be able to tell her of my feelings. Darien, you dummy, why didn't you think of this sooner* Gulping down the rest of his coffee, he grabbed coat and keys, and flew out the door with a plan forming in his mind to win Serena over.
Campus Quad-One Week Later
"I don't know who is doing this either. I've tried to think of anyone that would be interested, but I come up with nothing." Serena said to her friends as they ate lunch. "Do you think that it could be Darien?", Mina asked, ever the romantic. "Absolutely not! After his behavior, that wasn't even a possibility..." *I wish that it was though* Serena said to herself. "So, besides poems, what else have you received from this 'secret admirer'?" Lita asked. "Well, at first it was roses and letters. Then I started getting these poems which would put Byron to shame. I just don't know what to do" Serena finished. Raye jumped in, "I guess you have a wait and see situation on your hand then. Has the person asked to meet yet?" "No, but I hope that they ask soon, because I'm about to go crazy with curiosity. Oh.....look at the time, it's time to go to physics Mina. C'mon before we're late. I have to a lot to catch up on." Serena replied pulling Mina behind her.
Classroom, Later That Day
"Okay class, settle down, settle down. There are a couple of announcements that you need to hear. First, the final in this class will take place on December 12th at 8am. Those of you who are graduating this semester will have your scores posted the following day. Your TA, Darien and a couple of other physics TA's have decided to hold a study session where you can ask any questions and get help on those topics that you find difficult. Darien, would you like to elaborate on this?" "Sure. The study session will be held on December 11th from 8am to 9pm. I encourage all of you to come out if you need the help. Even if you don't need it, it's always good to review. If you have any questions, send email or you can see me after to class. Back to you Professor Davis."
"Thank you Darien. Now class, we will begin our lecture where we left off from the other day. Now if you multiply the joules by the work done...." the professor started to drone on, and Serena cut out. The only thing that could grab her attention at the moment was the profile of Darien Centuri. *Why is this the man that I have chosen to love, when I know that he is off limits? I guess this is what mom meant when she said that there would be days like this. I wish I could feel his lips one more time, run my fingers through his ebony hair, but that is the things that fantasy is made of.* Serena emerged from her daydream, when she felt a tap on her shoulder. "Are you alright?" Mina asked, looking concerned for her friend. "I'm fine....I just spaced out for a minute. I'll be okay." Serena grinned and turned around to pay attention to the lesson.
Out of the corner of his eye, Darien watched Serena. * I wonder how she is reacting to the 'gifts' that I am giving her. It is so good to finally see her back in class, even though it makes me ache inside not to tell her how I feel. I still remember the feel of her lips on mine. I don't think that I'll be able to forget it, ever. I also miss her company. She finally gave light to what could have been a very dreary existence. Just wait a little while longer Sere....you'll know sure enough.....I promise that!* Darien decided as he turned his attention back to the lecture.
Serena's Room-Late Afternoon
As she stared at her homework, Serena began to think about the events of the last couple of days. The gifts, the person behind them, and her feelings for a certain TA. *Why does my life have to be so complicated. All I wanted was a drama free semester and look what happens. I fall in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way, and now I have some chasing me. This feels like a bad episode of 90210* Getting up from her desk, she plopped down on the bed and decided to take a 30-minute nap. Closing her eyes, she fell into a dream
Begin Dream
Today was a wonderful day. Serena Taylor is finally a college graduate. Her family flew in to celebrate this special day with her. Even though she had achieved one of the most important goals in her life she felt....unfulfilled somehow. She decided to take one more walk around campus and try to remember her years here. As she sat down on 'her' bench, she looked at the winter sun make it's departure towards the horizon coloring the sky red and orange. "That is so beautiful" Serena said to herself, when she heard a familiar voice say, "Not as beautiful as you." Serena not believing her ears, turned around so that her eyes could confirm her suspicions. To her greatest joy and fears, stood Darien Centuri. "Wh..wh..what did you say?" Serena stammered. At this, Darien chuckled and repeated, "Not as beautiful as you. I would like to clear some things up with you. Do you have the time right now?" "Sure, my parents and friends are getting ready for dinner, which should take a while. What's on your mind?" Serena tried to say as calmly as possible. Darien came closer, sat down on the bench beside her, and turned around so that they were looking face to face.
"Serena, I want to first say congratulations on your graduation today. I know that you worked hard and you deserve the best." Serena blushed at this statement. "Thank you. Is that all you wanted to tell me?" " No actually there is more. I want to apologize for my behavior. It's just that your kiss affected me more than I care to admit at the time. I still remember that kiss Serena....do you?" "All the time..." Serena blurted out before she could close her mouth. "I was hoping you would feel that way. How about we make some more memories...hmm?" Darien asked as he swiftly brought his lips down to hers and kissed her passionately. Serena responded immediately to his touch and wrapped her arms around his neck as the kiss deepened. Once they came up for air, Darien opened his mouth to say something, but Serena put a finger to his mouth shaking her head no, remembering what happened last time. "No Serena, I have to say this....I just want you to know that you have truly touched my life and I want to thank you for that. I love you, and I have for quite a while. I hoped that the gifts would tell you of my femphh......" was all Darien could get out before Serena gave him a passionate kiss of her own. Once that was over, she Serena gazed into his midnight blue eyes and said, "Ditto."
End Dream
Serena woke up immediately still clinging to traces of the dream. * I wish that would happen, but I know where wishes get you....* As she glanced at the clock on her nightstand she realized that two hours had passed. "Oh no...I'm supposed to go to dinner with the girls. Well, better hurry up before Raye bites my head off..." as she grabbed her coat ran out the door.
