The Story Of Us
DC: You know the drill.
Chapter 6
Darien walked in his apartment to find it wasn't locked and the same scenario was laid out like that of five years ago. But this time he knew it wasn't Serena. He thought this situation. It was probably Ann waiting for him; she was pressuring him into sex. Why shouldn't he? He'd been waiting for Serena for five years. Now he'd come to find he had a daughter and the one woman that he dreamed about having every night, the one woman he'd every truly loved, didn't want him. He turned back around and walked into the bedroom where Ann was. He might regret this for the rest of his life but right now he didn't care.
2 weeks later
Serena walked into the house to be hit with a message from Mina of a phone call from Alan inviting her to dinner.
"Come on" said Mina "Accept!"
"He's not my type" said Serena
"What is your type?" asked Mina
"Not him, he's too fast" said Serena
"Are you afraid of hitting the sack?" asked Mina
"No it's just with him he'll propose the next morning" said Serena
"Are you still in love with Darien?" asked Mina
"No! God No!" said Serena
"Then what's the problem" asked Mina "Go out with Alan, flirt with other guys. You still haven't heard from Darien have you?"
"No. I only have one more week to make my decision on whether I'm staying or not" said Serena
"You mean you aren't staying?" asked Mina
"It all depends on Darien" said Serena
"Oh well ok" said Mina
"Oh Mina, I didn't mean that your baby doesn't matter if I stay or not. You wouldn't want Rini stealing all his attention would you" said Serena
"I guess" said Mina
"Look if I agree to go out with Alan, will you cheer up?" asked Serena
Mina perked up and nodded.
"Fine, call him back and say I'm coming" said Serena as she heads upstairs to pick out an evening gown.
10 minutes later
"He said he'd be here in a hour" said Mina through Serena's door.
Serena had picked out a royal blue dress that the hem of one side came lower than the other and a gold belt the same way. She had on blue Jasmine heeled shoes that wrapped up her legs. She had what looked like a gold snake band that wrapped up her arm just below one shoulder. She ran a comb through her hair and powdered her nose and applied some red lipstick. She looked more like an Egyptian goddess than a mother. She was 20 minutes early before he was due so she walked down the stairs anyway. She was just in time to hear the phone ring.
"Hello" said Serena
"Hi Serena, this is Alan" said Alan
"Yes" said Serena
"Look, I can't make it tonight. How about tomorrow" said Alan
"I don't know I'll have to check my plans," said Serena as she was hanging up. She heard call me before she slammed the receiver down.
"Asshole!" said Serena but she jumped when the phone rang again. "WHAT!"
"Serena?" said Darien
"Darien, is that you?" asked Serena
"Yeah, look can we talk somewhere?" asked Darien
She was about to say she wasn't in the mood but she caught her reflection in the mirror. No way she wasgoing to get all dresses up like this with out no place to go. "Sure" said Serena
"Um I'll be right over" said Darien
"Yeah I'm ready" said Serena
"Be there in a few" said Darien
"Bye" said Serena
"Bye" said Darien
Serena was feeling nervous now. What was he going to say? The doorbell scared her.
"Damn that was fast" said Serena to Darien
"Well I was on my cell phone. Wow you look great. Don't know about the hair though" Said Darien
"It's so much lighter than that sack of blonde I used to have." Said Serena
"I liked you hair" said Darien
"You didn't have to wash it" said Serena
"I helped sometimes" said Darien
Serena giggles "Shut up" said Serena playfully.
"Here we are" said Darien
"You finished her!" Said Serena
Darien had a 57 Ford convertible that was blue, the color of Serena's eyes.
"Yep" said Darien
"And you kept your promise" said Serena
"What promise" asked Darien
"You promised me you'd paint her the color of my eyes" said Serena "What's her name?"
"Serenity because she purrs like a beauty and doesn't wake the neighbors" said Darien
"Are you still holding on to me" asked Serena
"Huh?" said Darien
"It's been five years and you still haven't let me go" said Serena
"Serena don't do this not now" said Darien
"No I want to know. I left you high and dry and yet this car is living proof that you are hoping against hope that I will return to you" said Serena
"I gave my heart to you, I was in love with you damn it and yes I guess I was hoping that letter would bring you back and when it didn't I had to take other means of remembering you. Now are you gonna get in the car or not" said Darien
"I don't like that language around my daughter" said Serena as she got in the car. "The only reason I'm here is because my date canceled" said Serena
"I didn't think you'd get that dressed up for me" said Darien
"I used to" said Serena
"To the park?" asked Darien
"No first that little café where we met" said Serena
"I haven't been there in a long time" said Darien
"Well it's time we confronted old ghosts" said Serena
At The Table
"Where do we start?" asked Serena
"Well first of all, are you married" asked Darien
"You know I'm not" said Serena
"Well have you ever came close?" asked Darien
"Once, you?" asked Serena
"Once, who?" asked Darien
"You. I said if you weren't going to ask me I was going to ask you" said Serena "But it didn't work according to my likings" said Serena
"You know I was going to ask you to marry me that night" said Darien.
"Really!?" said Serena
"You probably think I'm a bitch now but being a single mother will do that to." Said Serena
"I think nothing of you but the best" said Darien
"If I didn't know any better, I say you were trying to woo me." Said Serena
"Nothing gets past you" says Darien "I want to be a part of your lives and when I say that I mean yours and our daughters" said Darien
Darien takes Serena's hand and kisses it. "Let's get out of here" said Darien as he pulls her out of her seat.
"I don't know if I'm ready to try this again" said Serena
"I think fate is playing the game between us whether you are ready or not. You know I never stopped loving you." Said Darien
"I know, and I don't think I ever stopped loving you" said Serena.
Serena traces Darien's cheekbones with her fingers and Darien wraps his hands around her fingers and he leans down to bring his lips to hers. There was like an explosion of sensation when they touched.
"Are you alone at your place" asked Serena
"Yes" said Darien. He was glad Ann was out of town. What he slept with her one time and she was ready to marry him.
"Let's go there then" said Serena
"Anything you say" said Darien
Darien's Place
Darien carries Serena in.
"Be gentle, it's been a long time." Said Serena
"I'm never been anything but gentle with you" said Darien
Serena smiles. "I love you" says Serena
"I love you" says Darien
A Couple Of Hours Later
"I have to go" said Serena
"I know" said Darien
"Good thing about this hair is that it can't get messy unless you sleep on it wrong" said Serena
"This isn't a one-night kind of thing is it" asked Darien
"No this will be a several times a night every night of the week kind of thing, maybe" said Serena
"Don't kill me" said Darien
"No I need you alive. You are no fun dead. Plus my heart would die too." Said Serena
"All right. Give me a kiss and I'll let you go" said Darien.
"I love you, bye" said Serena as she kissed him and headed out the door.
Darien laid back on his pillow.
"I knew I wasn't crazy" said Darien.
About 10 minutes later he heard a knock on the door. He got up and put his housecoat over his boxers.
"Serena must have forgot something" said Darien
He opened the door and it was definitely not Serena.
"ANN!" said Darien " what are you doing here?"
"I came to give you some good news" said Ann "I'm Pregnant! You are going to be a daddy!"
