Chapter 3:
It was around eleven to noon as Serena entered the arcade. She waved to Andrew as she slowly walked in, and he smiled and waved back, happy to see her feeling at least a little better after the big breakup. However, he realized that Serena was not alone....and the person with her was not one of the girls either.
"Hi Andrew! How are you this morning?" Serena cheerfully asked...in fact a little too cheerfully, Andrew thought.
"Just fine, glad to see you here this morning! So, who's your friend?"He asked as they sat down in a booth together. 'I don't think Darien is gonna be too happy about this.
"Oh I'm sorry Andy, this is Ed Demondo. Eddie, this is my good friend Andrew Takehara." Serena said.
"Hi, nice to meet you."Demondo said to Andrew as they firmly shook hands.
"Ditto."He replied as he carefully studied him. 'Hmm...tall, maybe as tall as Darien, grey eyes, blue-silver hair?? Well he seems like a pretty nice guy...he should be able to take care of Serena....but then again....you can't judge a book by it's cover.'
Just then, the sliding doors opened to reveal a tall man with ebony hair and eyes, in familiar black slacks and a green jacket. 'God...I barely got any sleep last night...what the heck am I even doing here, I should be at home getting rest.....' "Hey And-" Darien stopped mid-wave as he recognized who Andrew was talking to....and the guy sitting next to her.....He growled and muttered under his breath as he took long, angry strides towards the booth they were sitting in.
'Uh oh...this is gonna get ugly...' Andrew thought."Sooo...how'd you guys meet?" He nervously asked.
"Oh I was just walking around at the mall today, and I was lucky enough to a find a beautiful girl all alone window shopping....so I decided to be a gentleman and offer to keep her company." Demondo replied as he flashed Serena a sly smile, and slipped an arm around her shoulders.
Darien saw crimson. He quickened his steps... but decided to stop all of a sudden. 'I see this game she's playing....well it's my turn now...' He thought as two teenage girls walked into the arcade and sat down in a booth not far from where his competition was sitting at.
'Perfect.' "Hello ladies, would you mind if I sat here?"He politely asked as he sexily grinned at them.
"Yes!" They both squealed at the same time.
Darien resisted from rolling his eyes. 'This is too easy.'
Back with A.S. and Ed...
Serena gave a small smile to Demondo as he put a heavy arm over her shoulders. She turned and saw Darien sit down in a booth with two girls. 'What is he doing? Wait...why should I care...remember why you got yourself into this situation in the first place....' Serena reminded herself why she even agreed with Demondo to go out to lunch with him. However, she couldn't help but feel just a little bit jealous...
"Interesting, well I'd better get back to work..just yell if you need anything...I'll give you guys time to choose what you want....See you later." Andrew said as he saw Serena glance in Darien's direction.
"Sooo...now that we're alone and comfortable, why don't you tell me a little bit more about yourself babe, hmm?" Demondo asked as his eyes skimmed over her slim form.
"Uuh...yeah sure." She nervously said. 'No way am I wimping out now....it's the perfect chance to get him worked up....' Serena bit her lip as she hesitantly moved closer to the man next to her...
Darien and company.....
"So, why don't you lovely ladies tell me a little more about yourselves" Darien seductively said as he watched Andrew stand up to leave...and the two left at the booth seemed to hae edged a bit closer together....a bit TOO close for his liking...
"Well, my name's Ann, and this is Berylynne." "Except you can call me Berri, baby." Darien bit his tongue as 'Berri' was bold enough to even reach out and grab his....
He was starting to get a bit nervous himself....
Other 2....
It was Serena's turn to see scarlet as she saw one of the girls reach down to squeeze his abs, the other, hung all over his arms. Disgusted, she turned away. 'There's no way I can handle this...I have to leave...NOW.' "Umm...Eddie I'm sorry but I have to go....I just remembered that I have to babysit my brother today, because my parents are going out somewhere this afternoon." Serena quickly pecked him on the cheek as he stood up...but he swiftly reached up and pulled her down for a full kiss on the lips....
"Call me, babe..." He dazedly said.
"Umm, y-yeah sure." Serena stuttered. 'That felt so....wrong! It didn't..it wasn't.....from Darien....' She quickly strode out of the arcade without even glancing at the man drilling holes into her back with his dark blue eyes.
Darien POV
He had seen everything...and he was very, very angry....in fact he was more than that....he was raving mad! He clutched his fists so tightly, he started to draw blood. Darien clenched his jaw and spoke, "Um, sorry but I have to leave." Darien left without a glance at the girls who he had been shamelessly flirting with, to run after the blond that infuriated him so.
He quickly turned around the corner and caught up to her small, quick strides. Darien grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to stop in her tracks.
Serena slowly turned around to face the person who had rudely stopped her...'Him...oh no...the last person that I wanted to see...'
"What did you think you were doing with that guy back there...he's....too old for you!" Darien ground out, saying the words a bit more harshly than he needed to....well by now, if you looked closely, you probably see the steam coming out of his ears.
""Why is it any of your business anyway?" She angrily replied as she tried to break free of his tight grip on her. It was almost bruising...
"I-I..." Darien was at a loss for words.
Serena took it as a sign of weakness and slipped free of his prying hands. "It's none of your business to know who I see and don't see." She said as she stepped away from his cold blue eyes. "You've lost that right a long time ago."
Darien surprised her, as well as himself as he garbbed and crushed her against his body, and gave her a rough, punishing kiss.
'What? I....' Serena lost all thought as she melted into his warm, tight embrace..the kiss gettinf more and more passionate by the second....
'I'm not letting you go this time....you little minx.' Darien thought as he pressed his lips harder against hers.
'No...this-this....oh how I've wanted this for so long...wait! This isn't how it's suppoed to be...he can't just crush my heart then crawl back and forget about everything...he can't just come up and kiss the daylights out of me after what he put me through!....' Serena lectured herself as she ripped herself away from him once more.
'Huh?' Darien thought still dazed by the kiss.
"Darien....we can't do this anymore...you even said so yourself, so you can't say otherwise."
Darien just numbly stared at her red, swollen lips under his dark eyelashes....
"You...have...two choices.....It's either you have me, or let another man hold me in his arms...." Serena said as she started to slowly walk away.
Darien never said a word, but the fire in his eyes gave himself away. He did not stop her though, as she walked away...Instead he hit the wall next to him hard, with an angry fist...wishing it was that jerk's face....
'This...is the only way to make him realize...I need to know....if he still cares....if not...this is the last chance....oh Darien please, prove yourself to me...I don't want to say goodbye.' Serena sadly thought as she walked home.
