A Boat Called Noon Goddess: Chapter 5
The rain had stopped and the sea was calm by mid-afternoon. Darien and Serenity were each on their own boats dragging for fish. After the last fish were aboard they headed towards home. Serenity stood by Darien's side while his boat, Rose Dream, pulled Moon Goddess.
The two of them docked. They began to unload their fish. Darien had convinced Serenity to let him weigh his fish with hers. The two carried the crates, Darien was amazed by her strength. John came out to greet them.
"So the psycho's decided to show up," he said angrily, though there was some relief in his voice. "You could have gotten killed out there. You're lucky you are alive."
John loaded the crates on the scale.
"Not bad at all. I think this is the most fish that I've seen since your father died Serenity," John said going to got money.
Serenity lowered her head in sadness. Darien put an arm around her and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry."
Serenity just nodded then waited for John to come back.
Darien knew it hurt her to be reminded of her father. She missed him much.
John came back and held out $400 dollars. "So who gets the money?"
Serenity looked up hesitantly at Darien. He smiled down at her and urged her on. She took a step forward and took it.
"Thanks John," Serenity said turning towards Darien. Darien smiles and put his arm around her waist. The two of them walked away.
John watched them go then hurried into his office. He picked up a phone and dialed quickly.
"Hello?" "Yeah it's me" "No, the girl is back" "Yeah she actually survived." "Get out of the house." "It should take her 15-20 minutes to get back home." "Yeah, did you find anything." "I know it's there though. It has to be." "Yeah, ok, bye."
John hung up the phone and rubbed his eyes.
"This girl is going to cause me more difficulties," John groaned. She already has been around for too long.
The couple walked slowly towards Serenity's house. Darien kept his arm around her waist. They hadn't said much to each other since they returned. Darien glanced down at her. He head was slightly bowed and she looked deep in thought. He couldn't help but smile at how cute she looked. Wetting his lips, Darien bent down and kissed her forehead.
"What has you so deep in thought?" He asked cupping her chin with his hand and stroked her cheek with his thumb.
Serenity stared up into his eyes. "I was umm…just umm…wanted to ask you…" she stuttered out nervously.
Darien smiled and chuckled lightly at her nervousness. "Come on. Don't hold out on me now. Tell me what it is."
Serenity took a deep breath and asked, "I was wondering if you…umm…. would want to come for dinner tonight?"
Darien gave her a warm smile. He took her hand and kissed it gently. "I'd be honored," he whispered.
Serenity stared in awe at him. She gave him a tight hug. Darien returned the embrace and kissed the top of her head. He pulled away from her and wrapped one arm around her waist protectively. The couple continued to her home.
As they came to her house, Serenity noticed a man standing across the street. The man nodded at them as Serenity and Darien entered her yard. Serenity looked back at the man. A sense of remembrance came over her.
Darien waited as Serenity fished for the keys in her pocket. Finding them she took them out and went for the doorknob. But before she could even touch it, the knob turned and the door opened.
"Well look who we have here," a deep voice said angrily.
