1 Chapter 4 The Apartment
Serena stirred as they reached Darien's apartment. "We're nearly there Love." Darien murmured. Darien typed in the code for his apartment lock and pushed the door. He then walked over to the couch and laid Serena softly on it. He got a blanket from his bed and covered her with it; she snuggled down into it, sighing. The sight of her asleep took his breath away.
An hour later Serena woke, Darien had stayed by her the whole time just watching her beautiful face and then cursing himself for loving a woman who seemed so kind and lovely to everyone but a woman who's attentions seemed to wander. He was remembering the concert…
'Who was that blonde man with the girl with aqua hair next to him? Was he was deceiving Serena, oh how he'd pay.'
"Darien?" Serena called. "I'm cold."
"Oh stupid me. Do you want a hot shower? Some other clothes, you're soaking." He said running to get her things. He came back holding some of his smaller clothes.
"Thanks," she said smiling, "Where is your shower?"
"Just there in the bathroom."
About a half hour later Serena came out of the bathroom. Her wet hair tied up in a bun and dressed in Darien's grown-out-of clothes. She was wearing oversized clothes and had wet hair and still she looked stunning, Darien gaped at her.
"Thanks for the clothes Darien. I feel better she said hobbling over to him."
"Here let me help." He said running to pick her to stop her limping further damaging her ankle. He put her on the couch and told her not to move then he went to get an ice pack. He laid it on her ankle whispering soothing words as she gasped from the pressure and cold.
"Er, Darien, I noticed you at the concert. Did you like it?" She asked shyly.
"Yeah, it was great. You're an amazing singer." He said staring at the ground.
"Well, why did you leave? Didn't you like it or was there some other reason?"
It was Darien's turn to blush now. "Okay, you have to let me say this and don't say anything until I let you know that I have finished or I will never be able to tell you."
"Alright," she said nodding solemnly.
"I'm in love with… you." He said looking at her expecting her to, however she just continued to nod. "I felt that when you sang 'Love be still, love be sweet,' you were singing to me, stupid I know but…anyway. Then when I caught your eye, you faltered and looked over towards a tall blonde man standing with a aqua-haired girl. I just wanted to say, is he your boyfriend? If so, I think he's being deceitful." This all came out in a bit of a rush and then he motioned to her that he had finished.
She laughed. A happy, outrageous, which angered him and made his legs go weak at the same time.
"Why are you laughing at me? I just poured out my heart to you and you laugh at me!"
"It's…its just…he's my… COUSIN!" She giggled. "And you were jealous of him! A hahahaha!"
Darien was feeling very foolish just then. "You looked over at him for reassurance and I thought well, you know what I thought."
"That's why you left, because I looked at a man who is my cousin for reassurance! Oh that's funny!"
"I didn't know he was your cousin! And I was falling in love with you."
"You were?" Serena stopped laughing. "You were? As in past tense- don't anymore sort of thing?
"It depends. On whether you love me or not." He said. She blushed. "Well?"
"Yes. I do. I have for a while now and well, I thought you were too busy with your older more sophisticated women to bother with me!" She smiled. "It's your turn now, do you love me?" she asked.
"Yes. I wanted to tell you ages ago but I couldn't seem to get the words out. I… I love you Serena."
"Oh Darien! I love you too!"
