Rei's face turned bright red as she listened to the attractive man asking her best friend out.
"HOW COULD SHE?" She half-screamed but kept an eye on Serena.
"Rei, uh...it was your idea." Lita reminded her.
Rei's shoulders slumped. "I know, I just wanted to blame her that's all." She turned
around and smiled.
----------------------------
Serena stirred her hot chocolate and rested her cheek upon her palm.
"This girl is just adorable..." Darien thought to himself and felt a pang of guilt as Angel's
face flashed across his mind.
Who am I kidding, Darien thought. This is not her...I cannot do this to an innocent girl.
I cannot feel attracted to her because she looks like Angel. It's just not fair.
Meanwhile, Serena's mind was arguing against her heart as well.
This is the man of my dreams. Perfect, devoted, sensitive, poetic, and gorgeous. What more
can I
ask for? She thought.
Yet, her mind told her, she fell in love with his love for someone else.
She looked up then, as her blue eyes locked with his, a stormy blue. He looked at her with
such intensity she couldn't help but blush.
"What's wrong, Serena?" He asked and touched her hand as he reached forward to examine her
features with worry in his voice.
"Nothing." She shrugged and stared out the window. It was turning dark outside as clouds
drifted over the sun. It was going to rain. "Yikes, I should go home before it rains."
"Do you live close?" Darien asked, casually making conversation, hoping she would stay longer
if he stalled.
"Yes, just a few minutes from here." Serena replied and fidgeted with her fingers uncomfortably.
"Would you like me to walk you home?" Darien asked, crossing his fingers underneath the table.
"Sure." A radiant smile spread across her pink lips, and Darien couldn't help but return the
smile.
"Do you need to go back to the temple for anything? You came without your jacket and any kind
of bag or anything." He said, noticing she was wearing only a thin short-sleeved shirt.
"I have to---" She paused. I can't tell him I have to go back for his journal, she thought as
she bit her lip. "pay you back later because I forgot my wallet at home." Bravo, Serena, she
thought to herself, that was the worst excuse I have EVER made!
"It's okay, my treat. I did ask you to come. I'm not going to make you pay." He smiled as he
reached into his blazer for his wallet, dropped a few bills and stood up. He reached out a
large hand.
Serena took it and almost blushed at the touch. His hand was so warm and the fingers wrapped
around her hand almost completely. He pulled her up gently and took off his jacket.
"I thought we are leaving?" She questioned.
He placed the blazer softly over her shoulders and smiled at how petite she looked. "It's
going to be chilly once we step out."
Serena nodded, speechless. He's a perfect gentleman...she thought. BAKA, SERENA! He's in
love with someone else and he can't get over her!
As Darien held the door open for her to step out, Serena was glad she had his jacket wrapped
tightly around her. It was indeed chilly outside.
"On second thoughts, would you mind if I head back to the temple? I can get my own jacket from
there and say goodbye to the girls, since I kinda left them without saying anything." Serena
turned red, thinking of how Rei was going to react when she found out about the date.
"Sure. I have to give these beads back too. I don't think I'm supposed to keep them." He
played with the wooden beads with his fingers, thinking about the priestess who he assumed
was Serena's friend.
Serena looked at her through the corner of her eye and smiled as they walked back to the
temple in silence.
-------------------------
"Thank you for the drink, Darien. I had a nice time, even though we weren't there for long."
She smiled at the door of Rei's room.
"No problem. Uh...would you...like to do it again some time?" He scratched the back of his
head with his hand as his cheeks turned a little rosy.
"Of course." Serena smiled as she took off his blazer and gave it back to him. Their fingers
touched and once again Darien was troubled by his confusion. He thought he saw Angel.
She took his pen and jotted down her home phone number on his palm. He stared at her the whole
time, her look of concentration, her small hand clasping his, her breath on the tip of
his fingers...his eyes flooded with tears. When she looked up, she saw them and knew what
they were for, but pretended not to notice.
Darien looked into her eyes and saw sympathy and understanding. He was overwhelmed by the
realization that somehow, Serena understood what he was going through without having to ask.
How is that possible? he thought.
"Sometimes, Darien, moving on can be a good thing." She whispered as she smiled at him sadly,
going into Rei's room, disappointed that the perfect man she had been looking for was beyond
her reach.
"What?" he asked just as the door slid shut. "How...how would you know?"
