Days of Summer Lovin'
Chapter 8
By: Kasumi Yawa


It was Thursday, only about a week ago when Diamond Stone was captured. Serena was back home in her apartment. She hummed to a familiar song as she cleaned her apartment. She had spent the day cleaning and was pretty tired. She was sweeping the floor when the phone rang.
Serena answered the phone. "Hello?" She said. "Hey Meatball head!" Said a cheerful voice. It was Darien. "Hi Darien. How's work?" She asked as she lay on the couch. "Great. I miss you!" He said. Serena smiled. They hadn't seen each other since Tuesday.
"I don't miss you." She answered seriously. Darien was a bit shocked. Then he heard laughter. "Oh Darien! Your so gulible! Of course I missed you! I also miss your bed..." She said. Darien blushed, then chuckled.
"So what are you up to for today?" He asked. "Cleaning my apartment. Im almost done!" Serena replied happily. "Finally! I was wondering if that apartment was ever going to get cleaned!" Darien said laughing. Serena fumed, but then started giggling.
"I better get to work. I'll see you later. OK?" Darien said. "Can't wait!" Serena answered and they hung up.
Serena sighed and looked around at her almost-clean apartment. She jumped up and quickly finished her cleaning, while whistling happily.

*****************************************************************************
An hour later Serena was at the Tokyo General Hospital. (AN: What an original name!) She decided to surprise Darien at the hospital. She rode on the elevator to the children's floor and looked around. She couldn't find Darien anymore. She went into the children's room and saw all the sick children playing. Her heart ached for them as she saw all the kids.

A little girl about the age of five walked over to Serena, thinking she was a nurse. "Hello Nurse!" The little girl said happily. "Oh hi! Im not a nurse." Serena said, surprised. "Oh." Said the little girl disappointed. "What is your name?" Asked Serena. "Mattie," said the little girl. "My name is Serena. Im here visiting Dr. Chiba." Serena explained. Mattie smiled, "You know Dr. Chiba too?" Serena smiled and nodded. "But I can't find. So how about if I stay here with you?" Serena suggested. Mattie's face brightened. "Will you tell me a story?" Mattie asked. Serena thought for a moment, then smiled. Mattie sat on Serena's lap and Serena began telling a story of a Moon Princess and her love for an Earth Prince.

Awhile later, Darien, coming back from his lunch break, decided to check on his little patients in the children's room. When he arrived, he saw all the little children sitting around Serena, listening intently as she continued telling her story. Darien smiled in admiration.

He cleared his throat and all heads turned to him. Some of the younger kids ran to Darien, hugging him fiercly. Others squealed, "Dr. Chiba!" Serena smiled and Darien grinned. "So you guys met my girlfriend, Serena?" He asked. The older kids oohed and ahhed. Serena blushed and smiled. Mattie smiled at Serena. "So you do know Dr. Chiba pretty well?" Mattie asked. Serena burst out laughing.

"Well if you guys excuse me, Id like to talk to Serena." Darien announced. Some of the kids looked disappointed and nodded their heads. Serena walked over to Darien and the two walked around the hospital. "So what made you decide to visit, my beautiful darling?" Darien asked grinning. "You of course!" Serena answered. "I decided to visit you and I kinda got caught up." Serena continued. Darien laughed. "You wait here a moment, I'll be right back." Darien said and he walked to his office.

Serena waited patiently for Darien, when suddenly she spotted Katherine. Katherine spotted her and she spoke to Serena in a cold voice. "Hello Serena. What are you doing here? You know, bothering Darien during his working hours are not permitted." Serena was shocked, yet kept a strong chin up. "I didn't come to bother him. I came to visit him, and the children. Now if you excuse me, I came to see Darien." As Serena moved to go to Darien's office, Katherine caught her arm rather painfully, "Listen Little girl. You may have Darien's heart, but it won't be for long. He will be mine." She hissed. Serena gasped, then pulled her arm away. "I don't think so." She said, and with that she walked into Darien's office.

From a corner, Mattie watched what Dr. Daniel had said. She planned to not let Dr. Daniel get close to Dr. Chiba.
****************************************************************************
Back in the privacy of Darien's office, Darien snuggled close to Serena and gave a long, passionate kiss. Serena kissed back and they were no longer on Earth, but in space, only the two of them. "Im glad you decided to visit." Darien whispered. "So am I." Serena breathed.
Then they parted and sat on Darien's couch.
"So you've met Mattie." Darien said. Serena nodded,
"She seems like a nice kid. But why is she here?" Serena asked. "She has leukemia." Darien answered. Serena nodded sadly. She had an instant liking to the little girl. "I better go. You have work, and I promised my mom I would visit." Serena annonced. "So soon?" Darien asked disappointed. Serena nodded, and got up to leave. Darien stopped her, and caught her in a tight embrace. He kissed her passionately. She moaned and kissed back. They stared at each other, then Serena gave a quick peck on the lips and left. Darien was even in a better mood.

****************************************************************************
An hour later Serena was at her mother's home. They were drinking coffee and discussing current events.
"So have you met anyone interesting lately?" Asked her mother with a grin. Serena blushed. "How did you notice?" Serena asked. Her mother smiled, "Your so happy and its kind of noticable." Serena was astonished. "So tell me about him." Her mother urged. "His name his Darien Chiba, tall, dark, handsome...and the most sexiest and caring man! He's a doctor too!" Serena explained. "But there is this woman, Katherine Daniel. She seems to think that Darien is in love with her." Her mother nodded. The name, Katherine Daniel sounded familiar. Serena contiued, "Im just afraid of losing Darien to her." Serena's mother, Irene, looked at her and put her hand on her chin, "If you love him, and if he loves you the way your telling me, than nothing can come between you and him." Serena smiled. "Thanks mom." They hugged and Serena knew her mom was right.
