Running Away
-----------
Notes: There's a first time for everything right? Well this is definitely the first time
I've put an author's note at the beginning. Some reviewer didn't realize that at times during
this story, I jump to the present. Most of it is told in past-tense, up until we get to
probably the last chapter, where it'll be back in the present for good. Anyways, this chapter
is where we get the R rating. Yeah, that's all I really am going to say about that. Sorry it
took forever to get it out, but you see - with college, and a job...sometimes you just can't
get anything out fast enough. It's not the longest thing in the world, but then again most of
my chapters aren't. I know, it goes fast...whatever. Anyways, hopefully you enjoy it.
Thanks, now on with the story.

*Chapter Seven*
-----------
The dance had come and gone faster than anyone would've thought. As Serena had
known, her brother agreed to go to the dance with Mina, and they both had a great time.
Everything was going perfectly, and Christmas was coming up soon, which was even better.
"Darien?" Serena looked up from her English homework to watch her boyfriend.
"Yeah babe?" He questioned, while continuing his work, which looked like a bunch of
numbers all jumbled up and of no importance.
"Nevermind. I'm glad your work is more important," she said while getting up and
gathering her mess together. Lately things had gotten too repetative with their
relationship. Not that Serena was complaining or anything, but doing the same things over
and over just got to her.
"Serena, what's wrong?" Darien looked up from his work to see Serena putting her
English book and folder into her bag.
"Honestly, Darien?" She questioned while setting her bag on the ground and sitting
back on his bed, "There's a few things wrong. I'd tell you, but I don't really want to be
one of those 'complaining' girlfriends. It's bad enough you won't talk to me about what
happened in Europe. We were friends before anything, Dare. You know that. So why is it
you won't open up to me with whatever is on your mind? And then, the fact that all the time
we spend together is doing the same things over and over. It gets old."
"Sere...I just..I don't. Agh, this is hard," moving his work onto the ground Darien
lay down on his bed. Pulling Serena down in a resting position against him he started to
stroke up and down her back.
"Just tell me Dar, please. No matter what happened, whatever you did, you know I'll
still be here with you. I'm just sick of you keeping things from me, especially when I feel
that they're putting a strain on us," taking a glance up at his face she caressed his cheek
slowly. "I love you. You could hurt me in the worst way ever, and I would still love you.
I can't change that fact, even if I wanted to."
"I'm not afraid that what happened would hurt you so much, it's just the fact that
what I did there - it's not anything I'm proud of," he grasped her hand in his own.
"Darien, I know you've slept with women before," Serena looked up to see the look of
shock on his face.
"How...how did you know?"
"Honestly, you're 19 Dare. I wouldn't expect you to wait around for someone if they
weren't ready. I never believed that, if you ever had the same feelings for me that I have
for you, I'd be your first," she looked away from him, not wanting him to see that she was
still a bit disappointed with the fact.
"Baby, I would wait forever for you. I never, NEVER touched any of the girls here."
She looked up at Darien a bit surprised by his admittance. "Never? What about
Beryl? Or Jessica? Or any of those other girls who would always hang around?"
"Never. I didn't want them. I wanted you. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew
that I was saving myself for you. But then I went away. I didn't have you close enough to
see everyday. Then, the guys I was staying with in Italy kept talking about having sex with
all these girls, and they would ask me if I had any stories," he leaned down and slowly gave
Serena a simple chaste kiss. Pulling away, he looked into her eyes, "I made a mistake one
night, I got so wasted I had no idea what was going on. I lost myself, Serena. I lost
myself, and all I could think about the next morning was how I wasn't worthy of you anymore.
How you wouldn't want me, because I was dirty."
"I don't think you're dirty. It's normal for guys your age, and I can't blame you
for something you did when we weren't even together. It's not like I own you now, and I
didn't own you then."
"No, you did. You do. You own my heart, my soul. But I still can't forgive myself
because it wasn't the only time I had sex. I continued afterwards, I thought I had already
lost you, and I couldn't take it. I was never happy with any of the girls, because every
time...all I thought about was how I wished it was you with me. Nobody but you. But it
wasn't, and I still kept going on and on," sitting up on his bed, Darien turned his back to
Serena - not wanting to see the look on her face anymore. 'How can she love me? I don't
deserve anything from her.'
Softly touching his shoulder, Serena surprised Darien with her next words, "Darien.
I love you. Let me show you just how much I love you."
Abruptly, Darien turned around and saw the look of determination on Serena's face,
"Serena," he clasped her hands into his larger ones, "Please, you don't have to do this.
I'm not going to force you to do something you're not ready to do. You don't have to prove
that you love me, I already know you do. I love you too much for you to do this."
"Darien. I want to, with you, tonight. Mom knows I'm staying here tonight, she
doesn't care. Your parents are at your grandmother's. We have all night. Please, I want
to love you, and I want you to love me. So much that it hurts. You're the only one I've
ever wanted," she pleaded with him, hoping he'd see the truth in her words.
"Sere, I don't want to hurt you baby. I'm afraid that if we do this that I'm going
to, because I want you so much. I need you too much. I don't think I'd be able to control
myself, you'd end up hurting, and it would be all my fault."
"Love," she removed her hands out of his to hold his face between them. "I trust
you, I know you won't hurt me," slowly she kissed him passionately as he lay her down on the
bed, making sure to not place all his weight onto her lithe frame. "Make love to me. I
need you Darien," Serena whispered as they stared intently into eachother's eyes, letting
all their emotions show.
"I love you," Darien said before kissing her again, letting all the pent up
hunger and passion for her out. He slid one of his hands up her shirt, caressing her flat
stomach before slowly moving upwards to knead her breast through her bra. Pulling away from
her mouth as she moaned he looked into her opened eyes, "Please, tell me to stop if you don't
want to do anything more. I don't want to force you to do something you would be upset
over afterwards."
"I know, I want to do this." To prove her statement true, she brought her hands up
underneath the back of his long-sleeved shirt. Feeling his muscles tighten underneath her
small hands, she enjoyed the sounds of pleasure he made. Removing her hands from under his
shirt, she allowed him to remove her shirt, and helped him to unclasp her bra. She quickly
brought her arms up to shield herself, and turned her head away, afraid of what Darien would
think.
Placing his hands over Serena's arms, he removed them and took in the site of her for
the first time. Leaning down towards he brought up one of his hands and turned her face
back towards him, kissing her gently. "Baby," he said when they broke away, "Open your eyes."
When she opened her eyes she saw Darien looking straight into them with love, and a lazy
smile upon his lips. "You're beautiful," he told her, moving a hand up to cup one of her
breasts which caused her to gasp.
After a few moments, Serena pulled away a bit, to remove Darien's shirt, wanting to
feel his skin against hers. When his shirt was removed she took in the site of his well
defined muscles and rained soft butterfly kisses along his chest and up his neck, making her
way back to his mouth. As they kissed both touched the exposed skin and learned eachother's
bodies. Reaching his sweats, Serena let her hands roam underneath the clothing and realized
that Darien ONLY had his sweats on. As she came to that realization, she felt him pulling down
both her pajama pants and underwear. When she felt him touch her mound all thoughts flew out
the window, and she let the sensations take over; gasping and moaning with all the new feelings
he gave to her. His finger entered her as she was reaching her peak and she bucked against it,
letting her climax was over her. Darien removed his hand from between her legs and gathered
her in his arms, waiting for her to calm down.
When she was finally down from her previous high she looked up at Darien's face, reaching
a hand up to trace all the angles as he looked down on her lovingly. "Thank you," she whispered
while leaning up to kiss him and let her hands wander down and remove his sweats, slowly
wrapping a hand around his hardness. She caressed him and enjoyed the moans he let out, telling
her how good it felt.
After a time he removed her hand from him and positioned himself between her open limbs.
"Sere, if you want to stop, tell me now," he looked at her face watching the emotions flare to
life within her eyes.
"Please Darien, make love to me," kissing him, she felt him slowly start to slide in,
thrusting shallowly to let her get used to him, and stretch her to accomodate his size.
"Love, this is going to hurt," he told her when he reached her hymen, caressing her face
as he waited for the ok. When she smiled at him and brought him down for a kiss, he broke
through her barrier, stopping as she cried out and waiting until she was able to continue. He
started up a rythym that was slow enough for her, but pleasurable for the both of them, Serena
soon joining in. When Darien reached completion they lay together sated in their love.
After a time, Darien removed himself from Serena and gathered her against his body in
his arms. "Are you ok?" he questioned her as he stroked her hair lovingly, hoping he didn't
hurt her too much.
"Yes. I'm fine," she smiled and looked up at him drowsily. "I love you, Dare."
He leaned down and kissed her softly, "I love you too, Sere. Lets get some sleep, ok?"
Pulling up the blanket and comforter they both fell into a blissful sleep, enjoying the warmth
of their bodies, and dreaming of one another.

Notes: Oh yeah, definitely have another note. Forgive me if it was crap. And I have no idea
as to when the next chapter will come out, but I'm not quitting this story or anything. *smiles*
