Ch.16: Jealousy in the Darken Corners

" Serena!" a feminine voice cried from behind her, as Serena bumped in a rustle of taffeta. A hand held onto hers and pulled her to a less populated corner.

" Kyra?" Serena exclaimed, as she peered at the girl in front of her.

" Yes. You have on the best gown in the ball! No one is going to outshine you and Darien in the competition for King and Queen. Where is Darien by the way?" Kyra asked innocently, eyes darting behind Serena.

" Oh, he's just handing out some roses to some girls, that deserve some apologies." Serena smiled, remembering Darien's humbleness.

" Oh?" Kyra raised a burgundy colored eyebrow.

At that moment, a slow melodic tune was playing from the orchestra in the front.

" Serena, since Darien obviously seems to be busy, would you care for a dance with me?" Andrew asked.

Serena turned around, startled to find a smiling blond young man waiting patiently behind her. She gave a quick glance at Darien, in the middle of a circle of attractive, flirting girls, and her eyes narrowed.

" Would you care for this dance, Serena?" Andrew cocked his head to one side, lips curved up.

" Um. Thank you." Serena accepted after a moment's hesitation.

In a swish of white and a dash of black, the two were in the center of the dancing platform. Eyes smiled at the handsome couple, while others had other thoughts.

" Raye, where are you?!" Kyra thought, as her eyes frantically searched the dazzling room.

Darien, on the other side of the room, was having quit a difficulty with the gaggle of girls. He had lost site of Serena, and was frankly at the end of his patience. Finally, his icy blue eyes hardened on a certain blonde haired girl apparently enjoying the dance with another certain blond young man. Darien said good-bye to Bonnies, Cookies, Cindys, and other victims of his previous malicious games.

Serena could not have been more uncomfortable. Besides the fact that she was dancing in the wrong arms, she was dancing in the wrong arms in the center of the room with eyes on her. Probably Darien's eyes.

" Excuse me. May I cut in?" a silky voice interrupted her anxious thoughts. Before Andrew could even think, Serena was whisked away.

" What do you think you were doing?" a deep voice growled into Serena's ear.

" Dancing." Serena stated, putting her head on Darien's shoulder.

" Dancing with him. Do you like me being insanely jealous?" Darien whispered, as he playfully kissed Serena starting from the collarbone and up.

" Mmm. Maybe. Do you like me being insanely jealous?" Serena teased.

" You? Jealous? Never!" Darien opened his eyes wide in mock disbelief.

" Believe it." Serena tipped her head up for a kiss on the lips.

" How jealous?" Darien raised an eyebrow after he happily complied to Serena's request.

Serena grabbed Darien's tuxedo lapel and pulled him even closer. At this point, they had stopped dancing and were standing in one of the many darken corners in the large hall. "Very, very jealous." Serena breathed, as she slid her right leg up on Darien's thigh.

" I like it when you're very, very jealous." Darien smirked, as he pressed Serena onto the wall.

" Yea?" Serena whispered, as she raised her eyes to meet his. " What are you going to do about it?"
