"Actually sir it is entirely her choice. My love what is your decision?"
"Di, dad, I. I ." Serena stuttered.
"Serena will be going to her bed room NOW!" Ken shouted pulling Serena towards the stairs.
"Daddy you are hurting me." She whined.
"Unhand her!" Diamond said prying his hand from around her wrist.
"You bruised her! A father should love his child and never hurt them!" Diamond ranted.
"Shh baby..." Her mother soothed hugging Serena.
"Do you condone her Irene? Why are you soothing her? This is her fault! If she leaves I do not ever want to see her again!" Ken screamed and walked out the door.
"I am sorry about this miss Trevor, I had planed on waiting a bit before asking Bunny to marry me, come love let us get the things I bought you."
"Yes Di." Serena sobbed leading the way to her bed room.
"Serena baby you don't have to go. just stay and think it over."
"Mom, you want me to be a little girl forever. ok so I am maturing faster and earlier then I thought I would have, but mom don't you see? Di has helped me get better grades in school, act more lady like, and to not be so clumsy. I am proud of how he is helping me to change, aren't you?"
"Baby, no matter what you did I would have been proud."
"You don't think I am smart? You don't believe that I can get good grades and make a real life for my self?!"
"Bunny do you wish to bring anything besides your gifts?"
"I don't know if I am allowed to."
"Of course you are Serena they are your things!" Her mother said.
"That is beautiful, oh my who picked these out?"
"Di of course mom, he has such good taste!"
"Oh Mom look at this" She said pulling out the pink lap top. "He had a program designed just for me! It puts together all my outfits so it is easier for me to get dressed in the morning."
"Bunny, why don't you change here so we can go to the restaurant from here?"
"That's a good idea. what should I wear?"
"How about this?" He asked pulling a pink dress with a floral print.
"Ok, it will only take me a minute." As soon as Serena had left.
"Why can't you leave my family alone? Just because my husband would not agree to that business deal you go after my daughter? If he agrees to sell his stock in the company will you leave my daughter and family alone?"
"You think this is about a puny business deal?"
"I think this is about revenge and making my family suffer!"
"Keep your voice down, we would not want Serena to hear." He seethed.
"Why do you have to ruin her life? She has done nothing to you, why must you hurt her?"
"Irene I would never hurt Serena, I care for her, a lot. She is a very special girl, but you know that already don't you?" he smirked.
"So help me if you hurt her. I'll. I'll."
"You will what? Tell her I am using her to punish her father and mother for crossing me? That I only want to take her innocents? I have her eating out the palm of my hand! She would make love to me right now in front of you if I told her to. She is afraid of displeasing me, of hurting my feelings. I can tell that she dose not hold the same fear for you or your husband."
"She dose not know better, I fear that have sheltered her too much. My poor baby." Irene began to weep.
"Stop that, we would not want her to know the truth would we?" He paused.
"Don't worry I am planning on marrying her, she will make the perfect wife, she has beauty and brains, she will make an excellent mother."
"You.. You." she stuttered. "You look beautiful my dear." She finished as Serena came back in to the room.
"Thank you mom, Di why do all of the dresses that you bought me have snaps in the seams?"
"I will tell you later bunny." He smirked. "I have changed my mind, instead of dinner why don't we go to a club?"
"Ok, but won't I have to change?"
"I hadn't thought of that, here change in to this, hurry and put you hair in a pony tail." He handed her a short leather skirt and a low cut white belly shirt.
"I. I don't know Di I have never warn anything like this."
"Serena?" He asked sternly
"I won't be a minute." She said before leaving. He smirked. "See she dose not question me no matter what."
"How- how could you mislead her? She trusts you!"
"I always get what I want, one way or another, I warned your husband about that when declined my generous offer, and by the way I never mislead her."
"You look sexy, shale we be going?" he asked picking up her suit cases.
"Here is my cell number, call me any time Mama." Serena said before taking one last look back. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Come." Diamond commanded "Sheild's."
He said to the bouncer that guarded the door. "Stay close." He said grabbing her hand and leading her through the crowd.
"Stay here while I get the drinks." He shouted above the music.
She did wait for him but after sitting at their table for a half hour and being hit on she decided to look for him.
She found him at the bar talking to a group of women. Just as she approached a tall blonde whispered in his ear. She started to get mad but thought.
'He may flirt with other women, but he decided to take me home.'
She was about to approach him when she saw a familiar face and ran up and hugged the tall blond man.
Diamond saw this and was not pleased. 'What is she thinking? She knows I am watching her!' he shouted mentally.
"Drew! I have missed you so much!" She kissed him on his cheek.
"I have missed you too!" He said twirling her around.
"You look great! And what are you doing in here? I know that your mom and dad would not allow you in here!" (They were still hugging)
"Serena." Diamond coughed.
"Drew, this is my fiancée Di, Di this is Drew."
"How about we go to the café and catch up on old times" Drew suggested.
'Old times? Who is this man and why dose she look at him like that?' Diamond fumed.
"Would you please let go of my girl friend? People are beginning to stare." He growled.
"Eh, we don't care what other people think." Drew said before leading Serena through the crowd.
"So how are Mom and Dad?" Drew asked.
'He has known her so long that he calls her parents mom and dad?' he screamed mentally
'How could she not tell me about this man, and what is he to her.' Diamond questioned and followed them.
"Mom is fine, dad, well you know dad. umm actually, Drew, they kicked me out." Serena said looking at her feet.
"What? Why? Oh never mind, don't worry about it you can come and live with me, it will be like old times."
'Old times?' Diamond was starting to get really mad and not hiding it at all well.
"Thanks Drew, really but I am going to be living with Di." She said taking his arm.
'Yes, she said it! She is mine, this guy will have to find his own girl. Heh she chose me over him!' He thought n smirked.
"No, I will not have it!" Drew said stopping and grabbing her by the shoulders.
"You have nothing to say about it now let her go." Diamond growled showing his full anger.
"I will not have my little sister living with her boyfriend! It is not appropriate! Obviously you do not make good choices other wise you would not have brought her in to that club!"
"Who are you to say what she can and can not do? She is old enough to make her own decisions!" Diamond fumed.
"Umm guys please don't fight! I already had to choose between my boyfriend and my parents please don't make me choose between my boyfriend and my brother!" She cried.
'Brother?'
"I never knew that you had an older brother it never showed up on the back round check." Diamond questioned.
"He is my mother's son from her first marriage dad n him never got along, so he moved out when he was old enough." Serena wept letting the part about the back round check slip.
"Come with me Sere, I'll take you home." Drew said pulling her towards him.
"No Drew, I live with Di now." She said burying her face in Diamonds shirt.
"Shh, Bunny, I know it has been a long day, how about we go home and go straight to bed?" Diamond asked picking her up.
"Ok, Di. Drew I will explain everything tomorrow." With that Diamond started walking away.
"Sere, why don't you come with me and we will get some ice cream and talk."
"Drew, I am a big girl now, don't worry Di would never hurt me."
Diamond put her in the car and drove away, Serena fell asleep soon after.
When they reached the house he tried to wake her but could not so he carried her to their bed room.
"There are suit cases in the car bring them in." He ordered a servant.
He set her on the bed and awaited the suit cases, upon their arrival he removed a negligee and dressed Serena.
(She was really tired and every one knows how hard of a sleeper she is!)
Diamond kissed her on the lips slowly deepening the kiss.
"Umm," She moaned.
Taking that as an encouragement he traced her lips with his tongue.
"Umm, Di?" she moaned waking.
"Who else would be kissing you my love?" He purred.
"Umm that's nice." She moaned as he kissed and nuzzled her neck.
"Do you want to? I mean are you ready." He asked huskily.
"I. I..if you want."
"I always want you." He said before removing her negligee.
She closed her eyes tightly and a tear slipped down her cheek
(You know what they did. Not planning on writing that stuff.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The next morning Serena woke with a start.
She looked around the strange bed room.
It was black with gold accents, the bed she was in was an extremely large canopy bed with heavy black velvet curtains.
The eight large windows were also covered in the heavy black velvet.
The sheets were black silk, and the blanket was crushed black velvet.
There were two doors on the wall opposite from the bed.
Serena carefully detangled herself from Diamond and walked towards them.
The one on the right was a Blue bathroom, curious she slowly opened the other door it was a pink bath room, figuring that it was hers she walked in and explored it.
There was a hot tub, a shower a screen that hid the toilet and another door.
She opened the door cautiously and gawked at what was inside. It was a dressing room!
More specifically a pastel pink dressing room with a white vanity, with a verity of makeup, jewelry, curling irons, blow driers, and other various tools of beauty (Hehehe :-P).
She ran her hand over the wicker chair that sat in front of it she noticed another door.
'How many rooms are there?' she thought
She walked through the door. 'Wow it is like a store!' she admonished looking at the rows of dresses, pants and shirts, shelves filled with hats, and shoes, and the walls that were lined with drawers. "Wow." She breathed petting a mink coat.
"These are all yours." Diamond stated wrapping his arms about her waist.
"You bought these all for me?" She questioned turning in his embrace. (An umm they are umm both not clothed ;-) )
"Yes." He replied kissing her deeply.
"Oh Di you are too sweet!"
"I did not know there was such a thing." He chuckled.
"What should I wear?" She questioned.
"Why don't you pick my sweet?"
"What will we be doing today?"
"I thought that if you wanted since we don't have to worry about your parents any more.. That if you wanted I could finally meet your friends."
"That sounds great!" She said kissing him.
"I think I will wear this." She pulled out a white summer dress with blue flowers.
"I like it. white dose not quite sure you any more." He smirked as she quickly donned the dress.
"Oh you. What are you going to wear dearest?" she questioned as she took a straw hat and walked in to the dressing room.
"Umm, don't you think your friends would like to meet me like this?" He grinned wildly
"No! I had better be the only one that sees you like this honey" she said grabbing his back hind gently.
"Maybe we should forget about them and spend the day in our room." He said pulling her in to his embrace.
"As much as I would love it, I really want to show you to my friends."
"Ok, but you owe me my love." He said pinching her butt.
"I'll call the girls, you my love, had better get dressed, I am going to call my brother too."
"Aw, why do you have to invite him?"
"Because you are the two men in my life that I love." She paused turning around. "I need the address love."
"Its 157 Waverly road." (I used to live in Monticello NY, which is where Kitten and I met.)
"Thanks!" she said before running off to find a phone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hi Serena! Why did you want us to meet you here?" Ray asked walking in the front door.
"Because I wanted every one to get to know my boyfriend silly!" She laughed.
"This way we are going to hang out in Di's private TV room."
"Amy, Mina, Lita, this is my boy friend Diamond Sheilds. Di, these are my friends, you have already met my brother and Ray."
"Nice to meet all of you, since it is around lunch how about we order dinner." Diamond asked handing every one a menu.
Every one ordered. Serena sat next to Amy and every one started talking, asking questions, and telling jokes.
"So how long have you two been together?" Ray asked.
"Six months." Serena replied.
"Why didn't you tell us Sere? We are your best friends!" Ray yelled.
"That was not responsible! What if something happened to you?" Lita asked towering over Serena.
"Serena how could you keep this a secret? If he was that important, and good why would you keep him a secret?" Amy fumed.
"Stop it!?" She cried.
"Come here love." Diamond said taking Serena in to his arms. "Shh, now Bunny, you don't have to explain anything to them."
"We are her friends, we care about her of course she has to explain this to us." Ray yelled.
"Drew, Mina, You don't have anything to say?" Serena sobbed.
"We love and trust you Sere, of course we are hurt that you did not tell us, but you thought it was necessary, and we trust your judgment." Drew said.
"You two are welcome to stay the night, I love Serena, and I can not stand to see her hurt, not by her father not by you three that are supposed to be her friends." Diamond said before picking Serena up and carrying her in to their bed room.
"Doesn't it bug you that he is taking her in to his bed room?" Ray asked standing up.
"Of course it dose! I am her brother after all! What kind of brother do you think I am?" Drew paused.
"If we fight this, and him she is going to fight us and we will not be able to see her." Drew said pacing.
"Ok now that Serena is in bed, let's get a few things straight." Diamond said walking in to the room.
"I will not tolerate any of your childish games. Serena is MINE! I will not have you poising her against me, or trying to take her away. We will be marrying in two weeks, whether or not any of you like it." He paused.
"I know that it would make her happy if you came, however I could not care less. Those that choose to come may be her brides' maids and I will pay for your dresses. Any who try to cross me or do not come to the wedding will not be part of her life, no questions, and no arguments. Am I understood?" Diamond asked in a firm tone.
Their mouths gapped open at his bold statement. "Understood." They said in unison.
"May I go check on her?" Lita questioned.
"Yes second door on the left."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Serena are you asleep?" Lita peeked her head in the door.
"No, just relaxing watching TV." She turned off the TV and it disappeared in to the ceiling.
"This room is awesome!" Lita said jumping on the bed.
"Lita!" She giggled.
"Why did he put you to bed? I mean like a kid or something." She sat beside Serena.
"No, it's just we stayed up last night, and with all of the stress I have been getting really tired."
"Oh, do you love him?"
"Yes."
"So how was it? I mean did it hurt a lot? Was he good? I heard some guys are really ruff, was he?"
"Lita! That's private! I. I don't want to talk about it."
"But Sere."
"Ok ok.. Good, not bad, very, no."
"Details girl! Is he big?"
"Oh my god. you know how we always talked about the size? And those girls were like my boy friend is 6 inches.. I don't know how big Di is but he is huge!"
"You're lucky I heard that Joe was really tiny. I feel sorry for his girlfriend."
The two laughed and chatted for about an hour.
"I am so thirsty Lita."
"I'll go get us drinks and a snack." She said leaving the room
"Di? You in here?" Darien asked walking in to Diamond and Serena's bed room.
"Di is in his TV room." Serena replied sitting back on the bed.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, coming closer.
"Di, I uh, that is I mean."
"You don't have to be afraid of me." Darien said sitting at the foot of the bed.
"I don't think Di would like you being in here with me." She stated pulling the blanket up to her chin.
"Why wouldn't he?" Darien asked raising an eye brow and moving closer to her.
"Because I do not feel that it is appropriate for my little brother to be alone with my fiancée in her negligee." Diamond replied walking in to the room.
"Fiancée?" Darien and Serena questioned.
"Yes my love my fiancée." He said picking up a velvet box from the night stand.
"Oh Di!" Serena threw her self in to Diamonds arms leaving her self exposed to Darien's heated gaze.
She was wearing a pink lace negligee that formed its self perfectly to Serena's every curve.
"Umm," Diamond moaned in to Serena ear.
"Dare, do me a favor and give us a few minutes?"
"Sure." Darien grumbled and left the room ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hi, I am Di's brother Darien. I understand you are Serena's friends?"
"Uh, yah, I am Drew her brother, and this is Amy, Mina, and Ray." Drew said pointing to each girl in turn.
"Nice to meet you lovely ladies." Darien said kissing each girls hand.
"I defiantly like him better then his brother!" Mina said giggling.
"So I take it you are against my brother and Serena's relationship as well?"
"Speaking of them where did them where did they go?" Ray asked.
"Serena was napping, but Di is in there now I highly doubt they will be sleeping, Serena was in a negligee." Darien said his face turning red.
"What? With us right here? How, how dare he! She is too young!" Drew said jumping up from his seat.
"Show me where the bed room is!" Amy fumed.
"This way." Darien led.
"When I get my hands on him I am going too.." Drew started as they reached the room.
They stormed in only to find Serena and Diamond fully clothed and playing bones with Lita.
"Hey guys want to play? I am beating Di's cute little butt!" Serena exclaimed, kissing Diamond passionately.
"Yah but I am kicking both of you're butts!"
"Uh, sure." they mumbled.
"We can play partners." Diamond said pulling Serena on to his lap.
"So we were talking." Serena paused to roll the dice. "And Di, asked me to marry him. And of course I said yes. well Di wanted to get married in two weeks but I thought it would be much more romantic if we got married on our year anniversary, that way we would only have one and I could finish this year of school. Next year I will start at the private school, you know that one for girls that are married?" she paused to count her points.
"Any way. I thought that we girls could start looking at dresses next month. Di wants to arrange the rest." Serena rolled the dice and got all ones.
"I won!" She laughed squirming on Diamond's lap
"My love, you are awaking the beast, and if you don't stop moving then I will have to let him out." He whispered in to her ear.
"What do you mean?" Serena asked looking at him.
He guided her hand to his groin and said. "That my love is what I mean."
"Di! Not while the girls are here." She whispered back.
"My sweet I cannot control him, he has a mind of his own." He said before taking her ear lobe in to his mouth.
She gasped and said. "Girls, why don't I show you my dressing room and closet." She jumped off his lap and led the way to her dressing room.
"Wow Sere, did he buy all this just for you?" Mina asked.
"Yes Mina unless he had a girlfriend the same size as me and left the tags on." She laughed.
"So Sere, what do you think about Diamond's little brother he is so hot!" Lita asked
"I haven't noticed. I think Diamond's the cutest."
"Well Diamond is cute but he dose not have that.. that . umm quality that makes him so hot! Darien, now him I just swoon thinking about him and we all agree he likes you!" Ray stated.
"The word you were looking for Ray was characteristic and Di dose to have that characteristic, I think he is hot, and he has a great body. He can't help it if is conservative and Darien is a show off. And of course Darien likes me, younger siblings are always jealous of what their older siblings have."
"Oh I love this dress Sere! It is so pretty!" Mina said holding up a white dress that had a sheer layer.
"I know, doesn't Di have great taste!"
"Yah, but why are there snaps in the seams?" Mina questioned.
"I don't know I forgot to ask Di about that." She said taking the dress and walking back in to the bed room.
"Di, you forgot to answer my question, why do all of my cloths have snaps in the seams."
"Uh, Bunny, I will tell you later." Diamond said blushing
"But Di... Oh my. I. umm ok Di." she stammered and returned to the dressing room.
Diamond walked to Serena's dressing room.
He paused at the door to listen to the girls.
"Sere you have too much makeup on. let me re do it?" Mina said taking a wash cloth and removing Serena's makeup.
"What's that?" Mina asked pointing to the bite marks on her neck that her make up had concealed.
"Mina! You know very well what it is! And if you do not I am not going to explain it to you." Serena said blushing.
"Serena didn't you notice how Darien was looking at you? And when you came in here he even yelled at Di!" Lita said
"As I said before, he is just jealous, and I do not care what he thinks about me! Di, is perfect. he just has a lot on his mind."
"Sere, I think Darien would be a better choice, he is so hot! And he is so stuck on you!" Mina said jumping up and down.
"I don't think Darien is hot, I don't even think he is cute, maybe in that little boy cute, but I prefer Diamond's refined and more manly presence." She said confidently.
"I would have to agree with my love, I don't think my little brother is at all hot!" Diamond joked.
"I am sorry, love, did I startle you?" Diamond asked gently taking her hands
"No love, you could never hurt me." She replied kissing his hand.
"Why don't you girls borrow a dress from my lovely fiancée and we can all go out to a club."
"We don't have id's we aren't old enough." Amy said shyly.
"Don't worry about it! Di and I went last night and there was no prob! Di can do any thing." Serena said standing up.
"Why don't you wear that leather outfit? Oh and put a French braid in your hair."
"A wonderful idea as always love. no scoot! As much as I know you would enjoy watching us all change we have other guests."
"Of course. I think when we get home tonight I will tell you what those snaps are for." He whispered huskily in her ear.
"Umm, thank you. So what do you girls want to wear?"
"He tells you how to dress and wear your hair?" Amy asked.
"You guys know I am not good at making my mind up and look at how many outfits are in here!"
"Sere, we just don't want to see any one take advantage of you." Lita said hugging her.
"Don't worry about it, lets go I am ready!" she said putting a tie at the end of her braid.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You look ravishing." Darien said pulling Serena towards him.
"Dare, you know we should not be dancing." She rasped.
"But it feels so right and so, so good." He moaned in to her ear.
"Dare, Di would not like it." She argued.
"Shh, Di found Michelle. look." He said turning her so her back was against his front.
She stared at the couple before her, he was kissing her!
"Let me go!" She cried trying to get out of his grasp.
"No, you have to see how he really is! He dose not love you, he don't love any one! He. he cheats on every girl friend, you should not marry him, please you have to see I. I love you Serena!" he said pulling her closer pressing his lips against hers.
"Oh Serena! We will be so happy!"
"Let me go!" She squealed trying to get away from him
Diamond noticed and pushed Michelle away from him. She pushed her self back against him.
"Darien stop." She cried as he tried to kiss her again.
"Never, I love you!" He whispered and deepened the kiss.
"No you don't!" She cried breaking away from his kiss.
Diamond pulled away from Melissa and slapped her.
"You, you did this, he was not kissing her she was kissing him, you, you just want to hurt me." She cried struggling with him.
"Di! Make him let me go!" She cried.
"Dare, I will say this once, do that again, lay one finger on my fiancée and I will not restrain my self." He said taking Serena from him.
"Oh Di I was so frightened!" She cried.
"Let's go." Diamond said leading Serena to the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Serena, are you asleep?" Diamond questioned lifting Serena from the car seat.
He set her down on the bed, removed all of her cloths and settled her beneath the blankets.
A woman's head peeked in to the room
"I told you to stay in the room! You dolt! What happens if she comes out and sees you?" He said to Michelle.
"Sorry Di I did not realize how careful you wanted me to be, usually you don't care." She laughed and walked in to the room.
"Shut up and go in the room already!"
"No!" Serena whispered in to her pillow. She got out of bed and quickly got dressed and slowly crept out of the bed room only to bump in to Darien.
"Sorry, Serena I just came to apologize for earlier." Darien said taking her hand.
"Shh! Di just took Michelle in there!" She cried.
"What?"
"I don't know I pretend that I was asleep when we got back from the club and I heard him yell at her and then they went in there, so I decided to confront them."
"Di? Are you in here?" She asked innocently.
Michelle had a large black velvet box with jewelry in it and Diamond was inspecting a platinum tiara. "Aw sweetie you spoiled the surprise!" he said setting down the tiara.
"I'm sorry hun, but I woke up and you were not there and I was thinking.. wanna go for a midnight swim?"
"That sounds like fun." Darien and Michelle said, Darien took Serena's hand and Michelle took Diamond's.
"Actually I was thinking that it could be just you and me Di." Serena said shaking Darien off.
"Umm, I like how this sounds." He said wrapping his arms around her.
"Why don't we make it the hot tub?" she replied.
"Umm, why don't we make it a bubble bath, you make it hot enough." He said scooping her up and walking out of the room.
"I bet that I can beat you in laps around the pool Di." Darien challenged.
"What will I win?"
"If you win. I'll move completely in to the apartment."
"Darien, I don't want you to move out."
"But, if you loose I get two uninterrupted weeks with Serena."
"I am not a piece of property!" She cried.
"Exactly! Dare, I am quite angered that you would suggest something so barbaric."
"I see, you know you would loose in both respects." He said walking away
"Grow up Darien, I am going to take a relaxing bath with my lovely fiancée."
"But Di.." Darien said trying to walk in the bedroom.
"Go to bed." Diamond said and locked the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Morning!" Darien said walking in to Serena and Diamond's bed room..
They were still.. Uh 'busy' so Darien cleared his throat.
"Darien you pervert get out!" Diamond growled.
Serena eeped and tried to hide her body.
Her movement caused Diamond to moan.
"Out." Diamond growled and buried his face in Serena's hair.
"Di, dad, I. I ." Serena stuttered.
"Serena will be going to her bed room NOW!" Ken shouted pulling Serena towards the stairs.
"Daddy you are hurting me." She whined.
"Unhand her!" Diamond said prying his hand from around her wrist.
"You bruised her! A father should love his child and never hurt them!" Diamond ranted.
"Shh baby..." Her mother soothed hugging Serena.
"Do you condone her Irene? Why are you soothing her? This is her fault! If she leaves I do not ever want to see her again!" Ken screamed and walked out the door.
"I am sorry about this miss Trevor, I had planed on waiting a bit before asking Bunny to marry me, come love let us get the things I bought you."
"Yes Di." Serena sobbed leading the way to her bed room.
"Serena baby you don't have to go. just stay and think it over."
"Mom, you want me to be a little girl forever. ok so I am maturing faster and earlier then I thought I would have, but mom don't you see? Di has helped me get better grades in school, act more lady like, and to not be so clumsy. I am proud of how he is helping me to change, aren't you?"
"Baby, no matter what you did I would have been proud."
"You don't think I am smart? You don't believe that I can get good grades and make a real life for my self?!"
"Bunny do you wish to bring anything besides your gifts?"
"I don't know if I am allowed to."
"Of course you are Serena they are your things!" Her mother said.
"That is beautiful, oh my who picked these out?"
"Di of course mom, he has such good taste!"
"Oh Mom look at this" She said pulling out the pink lap top. "He had a program designed just for me! It puts together all my outfits so it is easier for me to get dressed in the morning."
"Bunny, why don't you change here so we can go to the restaurant from here?"
"That's a good idea. what should I wear?"
"How about this?" He asked pulling a pink dress with a floral print.
"Ok, it will only take me a minute." As soon as Serena had left.
"Why can't you leave my family alone? Just because my husband would not agree to that business deal you go after my daughter? If he agrees to sell his stock in the company will you leave my daughter and family alone?"
"You think this is about a puny business deal?"
"I think this is about revenge and making my family suffer!"
"Keep your voice down, we would not want Serena to hear." He seethed.
"Why do you have to ruin her life? She has done nothing to you, why must you hurt her?"
"Irene I would never hurt Serena, I care for her, a lot. She is a very special girl, but you know that already don't you?" he smirked.
"So help me if you hurt her. I'll. I'll."
"You will what? Tell her I am using her to punish her father and mother for crossing me? That I only want to take her innocents? I have her eating out the palm of my hand! She would make love to me right now in front of you if I told her to. She is afraid of displeasing me, of hurting my feelings. I can tell that she dose not hold the same fear for you or your husband."
"She dose not know better, I fear that have sheltered her too much. My poor baby." Irene began to weep.
"Stop that, we would not want her to know the truth would we?" He paused.
"Don't worry I am planning on marrying her, she will make the perfect wife, she has beauty and brains, she will make an excellent mother."
"You.. You." she stuttered. "You look beautiful my dear." She finished as Serena came back in to the room.
"Thank you mom, Di why do all of the dresses that you bought me have snaps in the seams?"
"I will tell you later bunny." He smirked. "I have changed my mind, instead of dinner why don't we go to a club?"
"Ok, but won't I have to change?"
"I hadn't thought of that, here change in to this, hurry and put you hair in a pony tail." He handed her a short leather skirt and a low cut white belly shirt.
"I. I don't know Di I have never warn anything like this."
"Serena?" He asked sternly
"I won't be a minute." She said before leaving. He smirked. "See she dose not question me no matter what."
"How- how could you mislead her? She trusts you!"
"I always get what I want, one way or another, I warned your husband about that when declined my generous offer, and by the way I never mislead her."
"You look sexy, shale we be going?" he asked picking up her suit cases.
"Here is my cell number, call me any time Mama." Serena said before taking one last look back. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Come." Diamond commanded "Sheild's."
He said to the bouncer that guarded the door. "Stay close." He said grabbing her hand and leading her through the crowd.
"Stay here while I get the drinks." He shouted above the music.
She did wait for him but after sitting at their table for a half hour and being hit on she decided to look for him.
She found him at the bar talking to a group of women. Just as she approached a tall blonde whispered in his ear. She started to get mad but thought.
'He may flirt with other women, but he decided to take me home.'
She was about to approach him when she saw a familiar face and ran up and hugged the tall blond man.
Diamond saw this and was not pleased. 'What is she thinking? She knows I am watching her!' he shouted mentally.
"Drew! I have missed you so much!" She kissed him on his cheek.
"I have missed you too!" He said twirling her around.
"You look great! And what are you doing in here? I know that your mom and dad would not allow you in here!" (They were still hugging)
"Serena." Diamond coughed.
"Drew, this is my fiancée Di, Di this is Drew."
"How about we go to the café and catch up on old times" Drew suggested.
'Old times? Who is this man and why dose she look at him like that?' Diamond fumed.
"Would you please let go of my girl friend? People are beginning to stare." He growled.
"Eh, we don't care what other people think." Drew said before leading Serena through the crowd.
"So how are Mom and Dad?" Drew asked.
'He has known her so long that he calls her parents mom and dad?' he screamed mentally
'How could she not tell me about this man, and what is he to her.' Diamond questioned and followed them.
"Mom is fine, dad, well you know dad. umm actually, Drew, they kicked me out." Serena said looking at her feet.
"What? Why? Oh never mind, don't worry about it you can come and live with me, it will be like old times."
'Old times?' Diamond was starting to get really mad and not hiding it at all well.
"Thanks Drew, really but I am going to be living with Di." She said taking his arm.
'Yes, she said it! She is mine, this guy will have to find his own girl. Heh she chose me over him!' He thought n smirked.
"No, I will not have it!" Drew said stopping and grabbing her by the shoulders.
"You have nothing to say about it now let her go." Diamond growled showing his full anger.
"I will not have my little sister living with her boyfriend! It is not appropriate! Obviously you do not make good choices other wise you would not have brought her in to that club!"
"Who are you to say what she can and can not do? She is old enough to make her own decisions!" Diamond fumed.
"Umm guys please don't fight! I already had to choose between my boyfriend and my parents please don't make me choose between my boyfriend and my brother!" She cried.
'Brother?'
"I never knew that you had an older brother it never showed up on the back round check." Diamond questioned.
"He is my mother's son from her first marriage dad n him never got along, so he moved out when he was old enough." Serena wept letting the part about the back round check slip.
"Come with me Sere, I'll take you home." Drew said pulling her towards him.
"No Drew, I live with Di now." She said burying her face in Diamonds shirt.
"Shh, Bunny, I know it has been a long day, how about we go home and go straight to bed?" Diamond asked picking her up.
"Ok, Di. Drew I will explain everything tomorrow." With that Diamond started walking away.
"Sere, why don't you come with me and we will get some ice cream and talk."
"Drew, I am a big girl now, don't worry Di would never hurt me."
Diamond put her in the car and drove away, Serena fell asleep soon after.
When they reached the house he tried to wake her but could not so he carried her to their bed room.
"There are suit cases in the car bring them in." He ordered a servant.
He set her on the bed and awaited the suit cases, upon their arrival he removed a negligee and dressed Serena.
(She was really tired and every one knows how hard of a sleeper she is!)
Diamond kissed her on the lips slowly deepening the kiss.
"Umm," She moaned.
Taking that as an encouragement he traced her lips with his tongue.
"Umm, Di?" she moaned waking.
"Who else would be kissing you my love?" He purred.
"Umm that's nice." She moaned as he kissed and nuzzled her neck.
"Do you want to? I mean are you ready." He asked huskily.
"I. I..if you want."
"I always want you." He said before removing her negligee.
She closed her eyes tightly and a tear slipped down her cheek
(You know what they did. Not planning on writing that stuff.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The next morning Serena woke with a start.
She looked around the strange bed room.
It was black with gold accents, the bed she was in was an extremely large canopy bed with heavy black velvet curtains.
The eight large windows were also covered in the heavy black velvet.
The sheets were black silk, and the blanket was crushed black velvet.
There were two doors on the wall opposite from the bed.
Serena carefully detangled herself from Diamond and walked towards them.
The one on the right was a Blue bathroom, curious she slowly opened the other door it was a pink bath room, figuring that it was hers she walked in and explored it.
There was a hot tub, a shower a screen that hid the toilet and another door.
She opened the door cautiously and gawked at what was inside. It was a dressing room!
More specifically a pastel pink dressing room with a white vanity, with a verity of makeup, jewelry, curling irons, blow driers, and other various tools of beauty (Hehehe :-P).
She ran her hand over the wicker chair that sat in front of it she noticed another door.
'How many rooms are there?' she thought
She walked through the door. 'Wow it is like a store!' she admonished looking at the rows of dresses, pants and shirts, shelves filled with hats, and shoes, and the walls that were lined with drawers. "Wow." She breathed petting a mink coat.
"These are all yours." Diamond stated wrapping his arms about her waist.
"You bought these all for me?" She questioned turning in his embrace. (An umm they are umm both not clothed ;-) )
"Yes." He replied kissing her deeply.
"Oh Di you are too sweet!"
"I did not know there was such a thing." He chuckled.
"What should I wear?" She questioned.
"Why don't you pick my sweet?"
"What will we be doing today?"
"I thought that if you wanted since we don't have to worry about your parents any more.. That if you wanted I could finally meet your friends."
"That sounds great!" She said kissing him.
"I think I will wear this." She pulled out a white summer dress with blue flowers.
"I like it. white dose not quite sure you any more." He smirked as she quickly donned the dress.
"Oh you. What are you going to wear dearest?" she questioned as she took a straw hat and walked in to the dressing room.
"Umm, don't you think your friends would like to meet me like this?" He grinned wildly
"No! I had better be the only one that sees you like this honey" she said grabbing his back hind gently.
"Maybe we should forget about them and spend the day in our room." He said pulling her in to his embrace.
"As much as I would love it, I really want to show you to my friends."
"Ok, but you owe me my love." He said pinching her butt.
"I'll call the girls, you my love, had better get dressed, I am going to call my brother too."
"Aw, why do you have to invite him?"
"Because you are the two men in my life that I love." She paused turning around. "I need the address love."
"Its 157 Waverly road." (I used to live in Monticello NY, which is where Kitten and I met.)
"Thanks!" she said before running off to find a phone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hi Serena! Why did you want us to meet you here?" Ray asked walking in the front door.
"Because I wanted every one to get to know my boyfriend silly!" She laughed.
"This way we are going to hang out in Di's private TV room."
"Amy, Mina, Lita, this is my boy friend Diamond Sheilds. Di, these are my friends, you have already met my brother and Ray."
"Nice to meet all of you, since it is around lunch how about we order dinner." Diamond asked handing every one a menu.
Every one ordered. Serena sat next to Amy and every one started talking, asking questions, and telling jokes.
"So how long have you two been together?" Ray asked.
"Six months." Serena replied.
"Why didn't you tell us Sere? We are your best friends!" Ray yelled.
"That was not responsible! What if something happened to you?" Lita asked towering over Serena.
"Serena how could you keep this a secret? If he was that important, and good why would you keep him a secret?" Amy fumed.
"Stop it!?" She cried.
"Come here love." Diamond said taking Serena in to his arms. "Shh, now Bunny, you don't have to explain anything to them."
"We are her friends, we care about her of course she has to explain this to us." Ray yelled.
"Drew, Mina, You don't have anything to say?" Serena sobbed.
"We love and trust you Sere, of course we are hurt that you did not tell us, but you thought it was necessary, and we trust your judgment." Drew said.
"You two are welcome to stay the night, I love Serena, and I can not stand to see her hurt, not by her father not by you three that are supposed to be her friends." Diamond said before picking Serena up and carrying her in to their bed room.
"Doesn't it bug you that he is taking her in to his bed room?" Ray asked standing up.
"Of course it dose! I am her brother after all! What kind of brother do you think I am?" Drew paused.
"If we fight this, and him she is going to fight us and we will not be able to see her." Drew said pacing.
"Ok now that Serena is in bed, let's get a few things straight." Diamond said walking in to the room.
"I will not tolerate any of your childish games. Serena is MINE! I will not have you poising her against me, or trying to take her away. We will be marrying in two weeks, whether or not any of you like it." He paused.
"I know that it would make her happy if you came, however I could not care less. Those that choose to come may be her brides' maids and I will pay for your dresses. Any who try to cross me or do not come to the wedding will not be part of her life, no questions, and no arguments. Am I understood?" Diamond asked in a firm tone.
Their mouths gapped open at his bold statement. "Understood." They said in unison.
"May I go check on her?" Lita questioned.
"Yes second door on the left."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Serena are you asleep?" Lita peeked her head in the door.
"No, just relaxing watching TV." She turned off the TV and it disappeared in to the ceiling.
"This room is awesome!" Lita said jumping on the bed.
"Lita!" She giggled.
"Why did he put you to bed? I mean like a kid or something." She sat beside Serena.
"No, it's just we stayed up last night, and with all of the stress I have been getting really tired."
"Oh, do you love him?"
"Yes."
"So how was it? I mean did it hurt a lot? Was he good? I heard some guys are really ruff, was he?"
"Lita! That's private! I. I don't want to talk about it."
"But Sere."
"Ok ok.. Good, not bad, very, no."
"Details girl! Is he big?"
"Oh my god. you know how we always talked about the size? And those girls were like my boy friend is 6 inches.. I don't know how big Di is but he is huge!"
"You're lucky I heard that Joe was really tiny. I feel sorry for his girlfriend."
The two laughed and chatted for about an hour.
"I am so thirsty Lita."
"I'll go get us drinks and a snack." She said leaving the room
"Di? You in here?" Darien asked walking in to Diamond and Serena's bed room.
"Di is in his TV room." Serena replied sitting back on the bed.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, coming closer.
"Di, I uh, that is I mean."
"You don't have to be afraid of me." Darien said sitting at the foot of the bed.
"I don't think Di would like you being in here with me." She stated pulling the blanket up to her chin.
"Why wouldn't he?" Darien asked raising an eye brow and moving closer to her.
"Because I do not feel that it is appropriate for my little brother to be alone with my fiancée in her negligee." Diamond replied walking in to the room.
"Fiancée?" Darien and Serena questioned.
"Yes my love my fiancée." He said picking up a velvet box from the night stand.
"Oh Di!" Serena threw her self in to Diamonds arms leaving her self exposed to Darien's heated gaze.
She was wearing a pink lace negligee that formed its self perfectly to Serena's every curve.
"Umm," Diamond moaned in to Serena ear.
"Dare, do me a favor and give us a few minutes?"
"Sure." Darien grumbled and left the room ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hi, I am Di's brother Darien. I understand you are Serena's friends?"
"Uh, yah, I am Drew her brother, and this is Amy, Mina, and Ray." Drew said pointing to each girl in turn.
"Nice to meet you lovely ladies." Darien said kissing each girls hand.
"I defiantly like him better then his brother!" Mina said giggling.
"So I take it you are against my brother and Serena's relationship as well?"
"Speaking of them where did them where did they go?" Ray asked.
"Serena was napping, but Di is in there now I highly doubt they will be sleeping, Serena was in a negligee." Darien said his face turning red.
"What? With us right here? How, how dare he! She is too young!" Drew said jumping up from his seat.
"Show me where the bed room is!" Amy fumed.
"This way." Darien led.
"When I get my hands on him I am going too.." Drew started as they reached the room.
They stormed in only to find Serena and Diamond fully clothed and playing bones with Lita.
"Hey guys want to play? I am beating Di's cute little butt!" Serena exclaimed, kissing Diamond passionately.
"Yah but I am kicking both of you're butts!"
"Uh, sure." they mumbled.
"We can play partners." Diamond said pulling Serena on to his lap.
"So we were talking." Serena paused to roll the dice. "And Di, asked me to marry him. And of course I said yes. well Di wanted to get married in two weeks but I thought it would be much more romantic if we got married on our year anniversary, that way we would only have one and I could finish this year of school. Next year I will start at the private school, you know that one for girls that are married?" she paused to count her points.
"Any way. I thought that we girls could start looking at dresses next month. Di wants to arrange the rest." Serena rolled the dice and got all ones.
"I won!" She laughed squirming on Diamond's lap
"My love, you are awaking the beast, and if you don't stop moving then I will have to let him out." He whispered in to her ear.
"What do you mean?" Serena asked looking at him.
He guided her hand to his groin and said. "That my love is what I mean."
"Di! Not while the girls are here." She whispered back.
"My sweet I cannot control him, he has a mind of his own." He said before taking her ear lobe in to his mouth.
She gasped and said. "Girls, why don't I show you my dressing room and closet." She jumped off his lap and led the way to her dressing room.
"Wow Sere, did he buy all this just for you?" Mina asked.
"Yes Mina unless he had a girlfriend the same size as me and left the tags on." She laughed.
"So Sere, what do you think about Diamond's little brother he is so hot!" Lita asked
"I haven't noticed. I think Diamond's the cutest."
"Well Diamond is cute but he dose not have that.. that . umm quality that makes him so hot! Darien, now him I just swoon thinking about him and we all agree he likes you!" Ray stated.
"The word you were looking for Ray was characteristic and Di dose to have that characteristic, I think he is hot, and he has a great body. He can't help it if is conservative and Darien is a show off. And of course Darien likes me, younger siblings are always jealous of what their older siblings have."
"Oh I love this dress Sere! It is so pretty!" Mina said holding up a white dress that had a sheer layer.
"I know, doesn't Di have great taste!"
"Yah, but why are there snaps in the seams?" Mina questioned.
"I don't know I forgot to ask Di about that." She said taking the dress and walking back in to the bed room.
"Di, you forgot to answer my question, why do all of my cloths have snaps in the seams."
"Uh, Bunny, I will tell you later." Diamond said blushing
"But Di... Oh my. I. umm ok Di." she stammered and returned to the dressing room.
Diamond walked to Serena's dressing room.
He paused at the door to listen to the girls.
"Sere you have too much makeup on. let me re do it?" Mina said taking a wash cloth and removing Serena's makeup.
"What's that?" Mina asked pointing to the bite marks on her neck that her make up had concealed.
"Mina! You know very well what it is! And if you do not I am not going to explain it to you." Serena said blushing.
"Serena didn't you notice how Darien was looking at you? And when you came in here he even yelled at Di!" Lita said
"As I said before, he is just jealous, and I do not care what he thinks about me! Di, is perfect. he just has a lot on his mind."
"Sere, I think Darien would be a better choice, he is so hot! And he is so stuck on you!" Mina said jumping up and down.
"I don't think Darien is hot, I don't even think he is cute, maybe in that little boy cute, but I prefer Diamond's refined and more manly presence." She said confidently.
"I would have to agree with my love, I don't think my little brother is at all hot!" Diamond joked.
"I am sorry, love, did I startle you?" Diamond asked gently taking her hands
"No love, you could never hurt me." She replied kissing his hand.
"Why don't you girls borrow a dress from my lovely fiancée and we can all go out to a club."
"We don't have id's we aren't old enough." Amy said shyly.
"Don't worry about it! Di and I went last night and there was no prob! Di can do any thing." Serena said standing up.
"Why don't you wear that leather outfit? Oh and put a French braid in your hair."
"A wonderful idea as always love. no scoot! As much as I know you would enjoy watching us all change we have other guests."
"Of course. I think when we get home tonight I will tell you what those snaps are for." He whispered huskily in her ear.
"Umm, thank you. So what do you girls want to wear?"
"He tells you how to dress and wear your hair?" Amy asked.
"You guys know I am not good at making my mind up and look at how many outfits are in here!"
"Sere, we just don't want to see any one take advantage of you." Lita said hugging her.
"Don't worry about it, lets go I am ready!" she said putting a tie at the end of her braid.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You look ravishing." Darien said pulling Serena towards him.
"Dare, you know we should not be dancing." She rasped.
"But it feels so right and so, so good." He moaned in to her ear.
"Dare, Di would not like it." She argued.
"Shh, Di found Michelle. look." He said turning her so her back was against his front.
She stared at the couple before her, he was kissing her!
"Let me go!" She cried trying to get out of his grasp.
"No, you have to see how he really is! He dose not love you, he don't love any one! He. he cheats on every girl friend, you should not marry him, please you have to see I. I love you Serena!" he said pulling her closer pressing his lips against hers.
"Oh Serena! We will be so happy!"
"Let me go!" She squealed trying to get away from him
Diamond noticed and pushed Michelle away from him. She pushed her self back against him.
"Darien stop." She cried as he tried to kiss her again.
"Never, I love you!" He whispered and deepened the kiss.
"No you don't!" She cried breaking away from his kiss.
Diamond pulled away from Melissa and slapped her.
"You, you did this, he was not kissing her she was kissing him, you, you just want to hurt me." She cried struggling with him.
"Di! Make him let me go!" She cried.
"Dare, I will say this once, do that again, lay one finger on my fiancée and I will not restrain my self." He said taking Serena from him.
"Oh Di I was so frightened!" She cried.
"Let's go." Diamond said leading Serena to the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Serena, are you asleep?" Diamond questioned lifting Serena from the car seat.
He set her down on the bed, removed all of her cloths and settled her beneath the blankets.
A woman's head peeked in to the room
"I told you to stay in the room! You dolt! What happens if she comes out and sees you?" He said to Michelle.
"Sorry Di I did not realize how careful you wanted me to be, usually you don't care." She laughed and walked in to the room.
"Shut up and go in the room already!"
"No!" Serena whispered in to her pillow. She got out of bed and quickly got dressed and slowly crept out of the bed room only to bump in to Darien.
"Sorry, Serena I just came to apologize for earlier." Darien said taking her hand.
"Shh! Di just took Michelle in there!" She cried.
"What?"
"I don't know I pretend that I was asleep when we got back from the club and I heard him yell at her and then they went in there, so I decided to confront them."
"Di? Are you in here?" She asked innocently.
Michelle had a large black velvet box with jewelry in it and Diamond was inspecting a platinum tiara. "Aw sweetie you spoiled the surprise!" he said setting down the tiara.
"I'm sorry hun, but I woke up and you were not there and I was thinking.. wanna go for a midnight swim?"
"That sounds like fun." Darien and Michelle said, Darien took Serena's hand and Michelle took Diamond's.
"Actually I was thinking that it could be just you and me Di." Serena said shaking Darien off.
"Umm, I like how this sounds." He said wrapping his arms around her.
"Why don't we make it the hot tub?" she replied.
"Umm, why don't we make it a bubble bath, you make it hot enough." He said scooping her up and walking out of the room.
"I bet that I can beat you in laps around the pool Di." Darien challenged.
"What will I win?"
"If you win. I'll move completely in to the apartment."
"Darien, I don't want you to move out."
"But, if you loose I get two uninterrupted weeks with Serena."
"I am not a piece of property!" She cried.
"Exactly! Dare, I am quite angered that you would suggest something so barbaric."
"I see, you know you would loose in both respects." He said walking away
"Grow up Darien, I am going to take a relaxing bath with my lovely fiancée."
"But Di.." Darien said trying to walk in the bedroom.
"Go to bed." Diamond said and locked the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Morning!" Darien said walking in to Serena and Diamond's bed room..
They were still.. Uh 'busy' so Darien cleared his throat.
"Darien you pervert get out!" Diamond growled.
Serena eeped and tried to hide her body.
Her movement caused Diamond to moan.
"Out." Diamond growled and buried his face in Serena's hair.
