If Only
Chapter 6 ~ Impromptu story
"Urgh! My mom is so annoying!" Serena exclaimed as she plopped down the booth with her friends.
"Yeah yeah! We heard that like 30 seconds ago!" Rae snapped. She can't finish the article that she was reading in the magazine with Serena on the roll and that pisses her off.
"So Silvermoon.what exactly happened?" Mina asked curiously. Serena has been ranting since they met each other 5 minutes ago. She glanced at her side only to see Amy reading yet another physics textbook and Lita was doing her usual.boy hunting.
Serena grimaced, "My ever so nosy mother grilled me about Darien!" All four girls immediately dropped whatever they were holding and focused their 100 percent attention to Serena.
"And then.continue! Serena we're your friends! Don't worry you can tell us anything!" Lita said encouragingly when Serena paused. Serena merely rolled her eyes in disbelief at the sudden attention she was getting because of her dilemma.
"She started asking those girlfriend-boyfriend questions! Eww.!" She exclaimed. Just the thought of it sent shivers down her spine again.
"Such as." Mina urged on.
"You know."
"Yeah we know but we want to hear it coming from you" Rae cut in. Stalled answers as well as waiting just weren't her thing.
"The typical ones.where and how we met, our first kiss.blah blah blah"
"And what did you tell her? what's the story?" Mina asked rather too eagerly.
Just then the arcade door opened and Darien stepped in, followed by his groupies. Serena breathe a sigh of relief. "Right on time" she thought. She really wasn't ready to tell the whole story to the girls.she just felt like letting some steam off.
"Hold on.gotta go to my "boyfriend" and tell him how we met." She got up from her seat and was about to walk away when Rae grabbed her wrist in a vise-like grip.
"Serena.you very well know that there's no escaping the evitable so stop stalling and tell us all about it later!"
"Whatever Rae.catch you all later!"
She made her way to Darien and slung her arm in his neck. And gave him a peck on the cheek. She claimed the available stool beside him.
"You better start thanking me because the I got about 50% of your fan club off your back" She hissed.
"Gee thanks." Darien said sarcastically and smirked. He checked out his "girlfriend" and tried with all his might not to grab and kiss the lights out off her. 'Man she's gorgeous'
From afar they look like the perfect couple, teasing each other and whispering things that was exclusive for their partner's ears only. But in reality, they were trading insults one after the other.
"Shut up! I do not look like a bunny!" Serena was getting frustrated by the second.
"Whatever you say.whatever you say BUNNY!" He chuckled and tried not to laugh as Serena blew another fuse.
"Anywayz Darien.Back to the topic at hand. You better know this or I am so dead! The story behind 'Serena and Darien'. I sort of modified the true story."
"Why am I not surprised?" Serena gave him the eye that immediately shut him up. He raised his arms in mock surrender.
Taking the gesture as a go sign, Serena started the story. "We bumped in the streets and hell broke up. It was hate at first sight. But eventually we developed those weird feelings.and the rest is history. I know it was lame but my mom bought it alright."
Darien gave her an incredulous look. "Can't you come up with a better story?"
"Believe me I tried.but I didn't have the time to invent one because it was impromptu.I cant ask for a time-out to think it over okay so cut me some slack."
"So what other story did you make up?"
"Ummm.Let's see.our first kiss?" She said sheepishly. Serena broke eye contact and looked at anything except Darien. And of course Darien noticed this and would not under any circumstances let it pass.
"Uncomfortable?" he asked slyly. There was a mischievous glint in his midnight blue orbs that made her uneasy.
"Alright! I give up! Yes, I am not comfortable with the topic okay? Can we now drop it?"
"And where would the fun go?"
"Anywhere but near me." She shot back without missing a beat.
Their verbal one on one were interrupted by no other than Belinda Masters and her cronies.
"Why hello there Darien honey!" She drawled on, she draped her arm around Darien's neck and as if noticing Serena's existence just now she said with no enthusiasm at all, "Oh it's you."
"Why! If it isn't Belinda and her clones!" Serena said, her tone of voice matching Belinda's head on.
"You know what? I've always wondered why of all people you want to dress up like.why on earth did you choose to dress up like Belinda here?" Serena asked as she gave Belinda the head to toe inspection.
As if sensing the start of World War 3, Darien got up and pulled Serena with him.
"We'd love to stay and chat but we have a movie to catch." He said, trying with all his might to sound credible.
Without waiting for a reply Darien dragged Serena out of the Arcade. Darien slung his shoulder around Serena's shoulders and started to walk. They continued walking up to the corner and when she was sure that they were no longer in sight from the arcade she set her distance from him.
"What the hell was that about?" Serena demanded.
"What was what about?" He asked innocently although he has a pretty good idea what she was talking about.
"Darien! It was my fight! If I start a fight or if someone's picking a fight.who am I to disappoint that person and deprive him of that?" She said rather too loudly. People passing by glanced at their direction and Serena just glared at them.
"The point is.when I'm in something.I do not need anyone butting in to my affairs and help me weasel out of it. I definitely do not need you help. I could manage by myself. I do not need you to prance around like my knight in shining armor."
Serena would have continued her lecture if Darien did kiss her right smack in her lips.
Emotions she would rather prefer not to feel came bursting forth like a tidal wave. She tried to keep her emotions in rein and pushed Darien away from her before she completely loses all her self-control.
"What was that all about?" She asked slowly, her voice seems to lose the intensity it held just before the kiss. She was scared that Darien might notice that she got affected with the kiss.the rather hot and steamy kiss that they shared.
