When You Play With Fire
Chapter Two

She turned around before he could see her mischievous smile.Then he grabbed her.He
pulled her towards him.It's felt kind of right to be in his arms.She like the comfored
that it give her.Suddenly she scolded herself mentally for thinking such thing.

Darien could see that she was thinking about something.He just wonder what she was
thinking about.

''Serena......hello Serena,'' Darien said trying to wake her up from her thought.He had no
luck.He thought about ways to wake her up from her thoughts.He leaned down so that his
lips were few inches way from hers.

Serena suddenly snapped out of her thought when she felt his breath on her lips.She
jumped back out of his embrace.
''What the hell are you doing,'' Serena asked angrily
''Nothing,'' He said smiling innocently.
''Yeah right.....playboy,'' She told him unconvinced about what he had told her.She
walked over to the window and swept back the curtains so that the light could shine in.
''You believe what you want princess,'' He told her following her every move.Then he
turned around walked out of the living room.Serena walked over to the couch and sat
down.

''Darien,'' Serena yelled
''...What,'' Darien replied from his room.
'' What are your plans for tonight,'' She asked him.She wanted Darien to stay home so that they
could watch a movie together.
''Tonight....um i have a date,'' He said.Serena was little disappointed because she really wanted to
spend time with him.She wasn't surprised because him always had dates on fridays and she
knew that it's wouldn't be Darien if he didn't have his bimbos.
''oh....'' She said sadly looking out the window.
'' Is that Jealously i hear'' He said walking into the room again fully dressed.Serena laughed at what he said.
'' Not in your wildest dreams Playboy.,'' Serena said still laughing.
'' My wildest dreams ha....'' He said having this dreamy look ''Well last night i had a dream about you and me and we
were on the beach.I was lying on the sand and you were standing up.Suddenly you started stripping in front of me and then
we had.....Let just say we had alot of fun''
''Why ain't i surprised....dreaming about having sex with a stripper. It's just like you,'' She said.
''Oh excuse me barbie....weren't you calling out my name last night.'' He told her.Serena throw a
pillow at him.Which hit him on the head.
'' You are such a jerk....You know that'' She said angry.
''oh....Your hurting my feelings'' He said putting his hand on his heart.His eyes were sparkling and
he had a goofy grin on his face.Which he was unsuccessfully trying to hide.She throw another pillow at him,
which he caught.He start to laugh because of how adorable she looked when she got mad.
''Come on princess....don't be mad. I was just playing around,'' He told her.''what do you want me to do
buy you flowers''
''You know what that wouldn't be such a bad idea...'' She snapped at him.
'' How about a kiss then,'' He asked looking at her face.
''Um....why not but i still want my roses'' She said with a mischievous smile.Serena stood up and moves to
where he was standing.Darien grabbed her and learned closer to her.He closed his eyes as he was getting
closer to her lips.Then he felt something cold hit his face and he opened his eyes.He saw Serena standing with a
cup in her hand,looking pleased with herself.Serena smiled at him and he looked down at his shirt that was wet.Darien
stared at her and She stared back at him neither of them look away.He knew that she had tricked him and he had been
a fool and fall for her charm but the war wasn't over yet.He would get his pay back and he going to make sure it was very sweet.
''What goes around,Comes around,'' Serena said smiling innocently.

Serena moved away from him and went back to the couch.She sat down and stared at Darien who
was quiet.He still looked at her and she know that he wasn't mad but the question was what is he up too.
He smiled at her and left the room.He came back few minutes later with black pants and a nice black polo
shirt that brought out his eye.While she was looking at his profile, he was looking at hers.She had a
beautiful pink nightgown that showed off her every carve.She looked hot and he felt luck to have
her as his roommate.Serena thought he looked handsome standing there.Serena smiled at him and he
smiled back.

Darien made his way over to the couch and sat down.He putting his arm around her shoulders.
''Your dressed to kill so who the lucky girl.....No...no.. let me guess blond hair,blue eyes,nice
body but no brains,'' She said to him smiling.
''If you think about it.....that looks alot like you,'' He said laughing.Serena punched him on the arm.
''So lets get down to business....who the girl and do you like her,''She asked seriously.
''Her name is Cindy and she is pretty okay...i guess,'' He told her.He picked up her hand
and played with her fingers.
''She is not only a bimbo but one dumb bimbo,'' She muttered under her breath.She was feeling sorry for the
girl but she would at least learn one good lesson at the end.That lesson is going to last her a life time
and hopefully guide her in the right direction.
''What did you say,''He asked trying to catch what she said.She turned and smiled at him.
''Nothing at all,''She said sliding her fingers through his.They sat there for a little while holding
each other.Then he stood up and looked down at Serena who was still sitting on the
couch.
''I'm going to the Arcade.....wanna come,'' Darien asked her.Her blue eyes raised up to
look at his.A part of him wanted her to come with him but the other part wanted her
far away from him.She stares silently at him and sighs happily.
''No....Thanks I think i'll stay.Do you think you can mange without me'' She asked
him in a mocking voice.
''No.....i'll go insane and find myself a booth and hide under it....Thinking it's
the end of the world,'' Darien told her sarcastically while rolling his eyes.She
laughed at the thought of Darien in that situation.Darien grabbed his coat and put
on his shoes.
''Bye princess,'' He yelled as he walk out of the apartment.
''Bye Playboy,'' She yells back form the living room.She hears
him shut the door.She looks around their apartment.She like the colors of the
walls and furnishing.Darien and her had spent so much money on redoing the whole
house so that it's felt more like a home.Darien walks into the room and he looks at her.
''I left the cars keys,'' He told her out of breath.She knew that he took the stairs on the
way up.He walks to the kitchen and grabbed the car keys that was lying on the counter.
He turns around and walks out the room.She hears the sound of the apartment door
closing.She stood up and gatherers few items that was lying on the floor.When she
looks up, she sees Darien leaning on the wall.He smiles at her.
''Do you want anything form the arcade,'' He asked. Serena throws the items
that she had in her arms into a basket.
''No....Thanks for asking,'' She snapped.She forced herself to smile, just to reassure him that she
wasn't annoyed which she was.Then Darien left as fast as he came.Serena
started cleaning the apartment.After a while she got tired and decide to leave
the rest of the cleaning to Darien.She goes to the couch again and lays down.She picks
up the telephone so that she could call her best friend,Mina.Serena hadn't spoken
to Mina for weeks and Mina had called her her few times but she never
got the chance to call her back because of her overloaded homework.As
she was about to dial Mina's number.Darien walks into the room for the third time.She
arched her brow at him.
''what now'' She asked him looking irritated.He smiled warmly.
''I come back to ask you if you wanted me to buy you something form the store.....miss grumpy''
he told her while playing with his car keys.Serena stood up and faced him.He looked up
as he saw her coming closer.
''Um.....Let me see...you can buy me some pads.,''Serena said to him.She was trying
to tease him.She could see that her trick was working.Darien blushed and Serena giggled
when she saw him turn red.She knew that he was embarrassed,There are limits to how
much a guy can take but the pads issue wasn't one of them.Darien turned around walked
away then stopped.He turned back to face his roommate.He decide to play his own
game.
''I'll buy you as many pads as you need....if you tell me...'' He said and whispered the rest
of the meaning in her ear.Serena gasped and put her hand on her mouth.Before he
could get an answer.She grabbed a cup and throw it at him.Darien fled the room before it could hit.
The cup hit the wall and shattered.She could hear him laughing down the hall.Sometimes
she wondered why she put up with him maybe it was because she like him and she could handle
his teasing.He could be such a jerk one moment and be very nice,charming,sensitive the next.
Talk about a guy that was suffring from mood syndrom but she knew that he wasn't a bad guy,just needed to be put in place now and then.
She know that she couldn't live without him and she wasn't sure that she wanted too.
Serena stood up and walked into Darien's room.She was looking for her scarf that she left in
there after a party.She stared to look for it but she had no luck.She would simply ask Darine if had seen her scarf.
She decided to have some fun and started jumped up and down on his bed.Then she fall down and laughed at herself.
She sat down on his bed and picks up one of his pillow.What she saw under the pillow surprised her.

In the Lobby:
Darien knew that he forgot something but he didn't remember what it was.He hit
himself on the head when he knew what he had forgotten to bring.'I forgot my mobile' he
thought to himself.Han run up the stairs and walked into the apartment.He looked
around for Serena but she was no where to be found.He thought that she might
be in her room.He didn't want to disturb her because she might be in one of her moods.
So to be on the safe side he walks to his room and opens his door quietly so Serena
wouldn't hear him.

In Darien's Room:
Serena picked up the Diary and looked at it.The diary had roses printed on the
cover.She lifted the diary to her nose and smelled it.It's smelled like roses almost the
same smell as Darien's aftershave.She like the smell and it's remained her of him.
She wondered what was in the diary and she knew that she shouldn't read but her
curiosity won her over.She opened the first page.There was a poem written on the
first page.Her eyes scanned the whole page and then began to read the poem.

Clear Blue Sky
I look out the window
I feel lost and lonely
I don't know whether to cry or scream
Nothing makes a point
Nothing makes sense
The world look like black
Like it has lost it's life itself

You wish it rained
So it would wash away your pain
You want some to explain
To make everything okay
You want to understand
Why you being drag through
This sorrow and pain
This no light to guide you
There no courage to see you through
Then you feel like there's nothing
you can do

Then the sun starts to shine
And the rain vanish out of sight
Leaving a blue clear sky
The pain fades away
And then returns your courage and strength
Then you know that you can face anything
On clear bright sunny day

By: this poem is written by me

Serena read the poem over and over again.The poem was so breathtaking that it
brought tears to her eyes.She stared silently for a minute and after a while she felt
guilty about reading his diary.She knew that he would be very angry if he found out that
she had read his diary.What surprised her even more was that he keep a diary.
Darien wasn't the diary type and then it hit her that she didn't know alot about
him as she thought she did.She know that he was in pain when he wrote this poem.
She really cared about him and it's made her sad to have him in pain.She knew that
he would come to her if he need talk to her.She swiped away her tears with her sleeve.
Then Darien's door opened quietly and Darien walked in......
