Chapter 3: The First Night

ANNFF= Authors Note For Friends

"Here we are." Mina said, she went up to the door and took out a key to reveal a

Blue/white room with a wooden lifesaver, a light blue couch, to chairs with floral print, a wooden floor, all kinds of sea stuff like oars and lamps shaped like lighthouse's and it also had whit shutter doors.

"This is the porch." Mina said

"It's not outside." Serena said

"That's the deck Meatball Head!" Raye yelled

"Anyway." Mina said as she opened the shutter doors to reveal a pastel yellow room with a yellow and white checkered couch, a wooden coffee table, a matching chair and to the left was a recliner, a big shelf with a TV and stereo, with a little Table next to the recliner and the door to the deck.

"This is the living room." Mina said

She moved to the bathroom, which had the same blue paint as the porch.

"Bathroom." Mina said as she closed the door and opened another door across from it, the room was really cluttered with a queen-sized bed, matching dresser, mirror and a TV.

"This is my parents bedroom."

She closed the door and moved to the kitchen witch was right next to the bedroom, it was a seaweed green with a white stove, counter, refrigerator, stainless steel sink and an island to eat on.

"Kitchen… and my bedroom…" Mina said as she opened a door on the far side of the kitchen, the room was orange with a bunk bed and a single bed.

"So… where's everyone gonna sleep?" Lita said with a grin

Before Mina could answer Andrew called from the porch that the pizza was there. They all ate in the living room while watching a scary movie when it was over…

"Ok everyone… here where your gonna sleep." Mina started

"Andrew, Greg and Chad can have my room… Lita, Amy and Raye can have my parent's room… Rini… you want the couch in here or an inflatable mattress in here?" Mina asked

"Mattress!" Rini said excitedly "I need to be by my bag in case Serena try's to steel my candy!" She continued

"You little brat, I don't want your moldy candy, I brought my own!" Serena yelled

"Ok calm down, she's just a kid." Amy said

"You sound just like my parents!" Serena said

"Come on Serena, don't act so immature… Mina… you were saying?" Raye said

"Well, I'll take the couch in here and…" Mina started, she couldn't help smiling

"And Serena and Darien can have the hideaway bed on the porch…" Mina said

Serena froze then looked at Darien, Darien's mouth was opened.

"There's nowhere else." Lita said

"Fine." Darien said unexpectedly

1 hour later

Darien sat in the kitchen reading.

"Hey Darien." Greg said from the doorway

"Oh hi, what's up?"

"Oh I just wanted to tell you that me, Amy, Raye and Chad are going for a walk, Rini and Andrew are out for ice cream and Lita and Mina are at the grocery store. Are you and Serena gonna… well?" Greg said

"I can't… I mean no, I don't have feelings for Serena anymore…" Darien said

"What changed?" Greg asked

"Greg!" Amy called from the porch

"I gotta… well… can we talk later." Greg said

"Sure." Darien said going back to his book, when he was done everyone was back and sitting in the kitchen, he went to the living room to find Serena sleeping, he put a blanket over her.

She looks so peaceful, I wonder what she's dreaming of? Darien thought

"I knew you still loved me Darien." Serena mumbled

"Your right." Darien whispered

She'll never know if I kiss her. He thought, with that he bent down and kissed her on the check, suddenly Serena moved her head so they were kissing on the lips. Serena's eye's opened suddenly

"Pancakes?" she said sleepily

"Huh?" Darien said breaking the kiss quickly.

"Darien?" Serena yawned

"Thanks for waking me up, I wanted to watch something at 10:00." She said

"Well it's 11:00 now." Darien said

"Are they back yet?" Serena asked

"Yeah, there in the kitchen… Ready for uh bed?" He asked

This sounds so weird…But so familiar and so right, has this happened before? Why is this so familiar? Darien thought

"Yeah, let me get ready." Serena said

"I'll get the couch ready." Darien said

10-Min's later Serena came in the porch in a very short nightee with a short matching robe, it was pink, silky and had a bunny on it with matching slippers.

"Your turn." Serena said

5 min.'s later Darien came in with only boxers on.

"Something wrong?" Darien said when he noticed Serena staring at him

"Do you always sleep in your boxers only…" Serena said uncomfortably

"Yeah so, it's how every guy sleeps." Darien said

"Ok." Serena said as she took of the robe

"What?" She asked when she saw Darien staring at her

"Uh well don't you usually wear those long pink pajamas with the bunny on the pocket and bunny slippers?" Darien asked

"Not in summer… and here are my bunny slippers." Serena said pointing to pink bunnies.

"You don't take you Meatballs out?" Darien asked when Serena lied down on the right side of the bed

"No." She said simply

Darien got on the bed and lay down just thinking, Serena was waiting for him to say something

I wish she wouldn't be so distant, it's my fault she is I should fix it. Darien thought

"Meatball Head?" Darien said

Serena smiled, she loved when he called her that, that was his name for her and only his.

"Yeah?" She said

"Well… I… Um well since it's so cold you want to move closer together? To be warm!" Darien said

Serena edged very close until they where touching

Maybe he's forgiven me… Serena thought

"Darien?" Serena said uneasy

"Yeah?" He said

"Well you see when I sleep I sleep on my side… would you mind if I…" Serena said

"No… go ahead." Darien said

Serena slowly turned so her head was slightly buried in his side and her hand was on his chest.

Darien savored the moment.

"Guys…" Mina, said opening the door

"Hmm." Serena said she lifting her head

"What the…" Chad started

Andrew smiled as did the girls and Greg gave a suspicious look.

"We where trying to keep warm…" Darien said answering everybody's grin.

"Yeah… there a lot of ways to keep warm, like se…" Raye started but got elbowed in the stomach by Lita

"Want me to turn up the heat?" Mina suggested

"Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm freezing!" Serena said

"You seemed pretty warm to me" Raye said

"Meatball Head… your cutting of Darien's circulation." Rini said

"You 2 are the rudest!" Serena yelled

"We just wanted to say good-night…" Amy said

"Good-Night." Serena and Darien said

"You would think they were married…" Andrew said to Mina thoughtfully

Later that night it started to rain but most of all there was a lot of thunder.

"Darien?" Serena asked innocently

"Yeah Meatball Head?"

"I know this is immature but I'm scared of thunder and I know where close enough than we should be and stuff but…" Serena started

"You want me to hold your hand and you want to move closer?" Darien said

"Yeah. How'd you know?" Serena said embarrassed.

"I've known you for thousands of years…Well then come on." Darien said thoughtfully as he took her hand that was on his chest and put his other arm around her.
