Hi everyone. This is the 4th part to my story. I've been kind of busy lately sorry for not writing sooner. Not exactly sure what I want to put in the next chapter so if you want to give me a buzz with your idea or whatever that would be great.
Disclaimers: as you know...I don't own sailor moon.
From Arizona to California Ch.4 Serena opened the doors from the hotel. '' Ah fresh air'' she said as she walked out into the blissful sunlight day. 'Now lets see....the job is only a few blocks away from here sooo...There's no need to get a cab' she thought. She started walking down the paved sidewalk. As she rounded a corner she suddenly bumped into someone. Knocking her purse to the floor. "Oh, oh, oh I'm soo sorry." "Its okay" said the person. They bended down to pick it up and ended up bumping heads. "Sorry again" Serena said. She was really starting to feel stupid now. First she almost threw this person to the ground and then she hit him on the head. By accident she reminded herself. She hadn't even looked at his face the entire time she had been too busy trying to get herself together. She looked up at him and gasped slightly. "Darien." She acknowledged. "Serena" he said grinning. He then caught himself before he got too caught up. "So this is how you greet people? You pretend to bump into them? And then drop your purse?" he asked mockingly. Serena narrowed her eyes and started walking. "No wait. So where are you heading?" he asked. "To work" she said not looking at him. She suddenly stopped dead in her tracks when she noted that she wasn't sure where she was going. She fought over the decision to ask him or not. She didn't want to seem pathetic. But she didn't want to be late on her first day either. She looked down and handed him the piece of paper with the address of the office. She really needed to get a map. "Do you know where this place is?" she mumbled still looking down at the sidewalk. Darien grinned. "Uh yeah. I could walk you there if you want?" "Really?" she asked looking up at him. She was caught off gaze when she looked up to see his cerulean eyes staring back at her his lips turned up into a smile. Very nice smile she added to herself. She looked down at his chest instead to keep from melting in his arms. Sheesh even his chest looked good. She blushed to herself and turned away. Serena hesitated before she gave him his answer. "That would be great." She smiled.
They had reached the office building and were standing outside it just looking at each other. "Uh so I guess this is it." He said nervously. "Yeah.." she said back. She turned to go into the office. "Hey uhm…" he began. She could tell what was happening he was nervous. And she suspected he was about to ask for her number or something along those lines. She frowned inwardly. He was Jake's brother! "I'll see you around." He grinned walking off. What had just happened? She asked herself. She almost felt disappointed. Part of her wanted him to ask her for some way to contact her. She was confused to say the most. She turned and walked into the office.
When Serena entered the building she felt hot. Taking off her jacket she said "Is it hot in here or is it just me?" "It must be just you because I know I'm freezing. The air conditioner is so high in here." Said one of the employees. She went up to the front desk and said "Hello. I'm Serena Lean from Arizona. You guys phoned me about 2 weeks ago, offering a job." The secretary looked up from the computer. "No ma'am I'm sorry but we never did that. W haven't had an opening for at least a year now." Said the secretary turning back to the computer and typing furiously. "But isn't this Villos Architecture?" "Yes it is. I'm sorry ma'am. But…." "I know." Serena said, her voice cracking with held back sobs. She had nowhere to go now. She couldn't stay in the hotel. And she wouldn't sleep on the streets. She was alone. This cruel word had taken advantage of her again. As it had always done. Chewed her up and then spit her out. She left the building keeping herself in a calm and cool posture, but when she went outside she ran down the way to the nearest coffee shop she had seen when she had walked to the office. But when she saw a bar right next to it, reading 'the drunk mans pub' she decided to take a look in. She was oblivious to the fact that someone from inside the coffee shop saw her.
Serena opened the doors of the bar and walked inside. She went up to the bartender. He ad a tattoo on his upper left arm, a muscled body, and an earring adorned his right ear. "I'll have two jugs of your strongest beer." "You sure. You don't seem fit enough to drink it." "I'll be fine" she growled. "Okay its comin right up. That'll be 6.50." he handed her the drinks and she took them eagerly. And started gulping down he first one. She had never drank in her entire life unless she was under a lot of stress. And now was the perfect time. A hand rested on her shoulder. She was so shaky she almost spit out her dink. "What are you doing here?" the voice asked. A familiar voice at that.
