Hello. I would like to apologize for the delay in the twelveth chapter of 'In My Face'.
Everyone (who has a interest in the continuation of the story) is probably just a bit curious or perhaps even upset about the many months it took to bring out the next chapter. Simply put... I lost my muse. I suppose that's understandable but still I sincerely apologize.
I had started this chapter a while back and then didn't know where to take it next.
Or I had ideas on what was to come but couldn't get it down in text on the computer or in ink on paper. Then one night I was inspired and started getting back into the groove of writing this particular story.
It took some time but I'm glad to back and I hope that my writing style for this story hasn't changed and if it did I hope it took a turn for the better instead of a swerve for the worse. I've definitely enjoyed working on this story and it's not over yet! And to those of you who are thinking, 'Die Story! Just Die!'... rest assured, I feel your pain.
The story does have a Point, a Moral and a End. I hope that each reader may learn something or just enjoy reading my Sailor Moon work.
I'm also very flattered by the complimentary reviews I received and would like to thank:

In My Face
by

Chapter Twelve:
Serena's POV:
"On second thought. Tell me later."
I had given him a kiss on the cheek before I knew what I was doing and was practically pulled me away in less then a few mere seconds. I left him standing there bathed in the moonlight as I dashed further and further away. I was escaping. I was letting myself free. It was your basic liberation and I happy to have it, not because I really in all my heart wanted to leave but because I was afraid of what I felt...
He kissed me and like it or not I kissed him back. I don't know why I did, but I did and Wow what a kiss it was! It was soft, yet unyielding. I could feel the pliant pressure of his lips on mine as they slowly carved over the contours of my lips.
I tried to get away in the first few seconds but he wouldn't let me leave. It was as if he had some possessive power and wouldn't allow it. So I relaxed a little and went with the flow which was like a simple equation, Darien + Serena = Fireworks. Somewhere in my mind aside from the pure sensations that was running up and down the nerves of my mind that registered and I hate to admit that for what it was.
Kissing him was like drinking water after you hadn't had even a drop for a few days in scorching days of endless heat. It wasn't refreshing in that sense of the word but it was awakening every part of my being and I could feel new sensations from head to toe and that wasn't something I felt often. Only...only this one time, this first time...with...him.
Then Molly came over interrupting us and saying something, about something ,or the other. I was still so dazed and confused that a few things didn't really register until a little while later. We walked quickly away until we reached the doors leading back into the party. Then she finally spoke to me saying, "Exactly what was that all about?"
I grimaced. "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Then she started laughing.
"Oh shut up!" I snapped feeling rather annoyed with my best friend.
"I'm- I'm," She truly seemed to be trying but ruined it as she burst out laughing each time she started to muster out an apology.
I stood looking at her, then rolled my eyes.
"I'm sorry Serena. You know I didn't mean to laugh at the situation. Honestly!"
"Yeah," I said, "...Right."
She smirked.
"So what were you doing out there anyway?" I asked casually. "Spying?"
"Least you admit you guys have something going on to be spied upon." She said.
I glared at her.
"Hey! Weren't you the one who said that if Darien was anywhere near you one of us was to help you out? Weren't you the one who said that, 'That Baka' wasn't supposed to be within five feet of you? Weren't you the one?"
"Oh that's right!" I exclaimed remembering what I said earlier to my friends.
"Yeah,'Oh that's right!" Molly mimicked, as she rolled her eyes in the move I'd mastered to perfection. "Now you finally remember! Good."
"No need to get all-"
"Spying on you?" She interrupted, "As if I couldn't think of the many ways to spend my time. Come on now. I was just helping you out but I guess that," She suddenly ginned exposing her teeth as a uncontrollable smile spread across her lips, "by the time I got there you didn't really feel quite so inclined to leave."
"All right already." I muttered. I could just feel the heat starting to rise in my cheeks already.
"So?" She lingered carefully over the one word question with a eager expression in her eyes.
"So?" I asked right back.
"So, I saw you kissing him. How did that happen anyway?"
"Well there are this little concept called two lips touching." I smiled, then smirked as I touched my two fingers to my lips.
She smirked back at me then sighed heavily aloud as she twirled her eyes toward the inky dark blue sky that was illuminated by a vivid splattering of stars.
I continued. "Let me break the concept down for you so you can easily comprehend this. Boy touches girl's lips with his lips. Girl kisses boy with her lips. The two pairs of lips move over each other. Maybe even a bit of tongue caressing. This is known as kissing-"
"In case your wondering," Molly calmly said as she slowly interrupted me, "No, I did not ask for the instructions a five year old could follow nor did I ask for your smart mouth."
"Aww so nice to know you care!"
"You keep pushing Serena." Molly said, "So seriously..." She trailed off carefully and looked over at me more than a bit curiously.
"Seriously?"
"What happened? I mean, I want to know every detail!"
I smiled. I still felt weird about that kiss. The kiss wasn't weird, I mean. It was just...the person I was kissing. The person I might add who kissed me. It didn't start out the other way around but...you better believe it ended that way. I looked back out toward the verandah and saw Darien standing there, silhouetted against the dark night's sky. I knew without a doubt that he was watching me. Turning away and giving my full attention to my friend, unconsciously I touched my lower lip with my finger.
I could still remember the feel of his lips on mine...
