Chapter 5
" Serena! Are you insane!" Darien yelled the question at her. She dropped her hand down and looked at Darien with a scowl on her face.
" Am I insane! You're the crazy one who sneaking and thumping around my house. What the hell are you doing!" Serena demanded ferociously.
" I was not sneaking around your house and I knocked on the door twice. What are you doing with that thing?" Darien snapped at her while he pointed at her weapon.
" It's my deadly weapon I was going to use on you." Serena started proudly and then didn't understand why Darien started to laugh.
" What!" She snapped at him.
" Did you even bother to look at it first before you opened the door?" Darien asked.
" No."
" I don't think it would have done much damage to anyone Serena." Darien laughed again.
" Why? It's my deadly...squeaky hammer from the fair." Serena finished with a hint of red heating her face.
" See I told you so. It wouldn't have hurt anybody." Darien smirked at her.
" You don't have to smirk about it you reject! Take this." Serena gave him a big whack across the head.
" Stop Serena." Darien held his hand up in surrender.
" See I told you I could hurt you." Serena smugly told him.
" You didn't let me finish. I was going to say stop before I die of laughter." Roaring with laughter, Darien tried to keep from falling on the ground while Serena continued to pelt him.
" Why you little.!" Serena whacked him across his head again and then continued her mad strokes while he laughed. Before she could help it, giggles erupted from her mouth as she listened to the high pitch squeaks that came from the hammer while she punished him. She was such a geek, Serena silently told herself.
" What in the world do you want?" Serena questioned him while she tried to keep her dignity.
" I came over to ask you if I could crash here for a little bit since my parents are gone and locked the house. I don't a house key and I just locked my car keys in the car." Darien explained to her.
" Why can't you go over to one of your moron buddies or even Brittany's house?" Serena suspiciously asked him.
" It's too far to walk in the cold and Brittany's getting her nails done. Come on Serena, please?" Darien gave her a puppy look.
" Oh stop with the look."
" Come on Serena, I'm freezing out here. My jewels are freezing out here." Darien gave her a big shiver.
" Ewe I really didn't need you to me about your jewels. Keep that conversation between you and Brittany." She wrinkled her nose at him.
" I was telling you because you were looking at them." Darien defended himself.
" I was not you little pervert. That is so disgusting." Serena screeched at him.
" Okay woman enough with the squawking. You're blowing out my eardrum. Are you on the rag Serena? Is that why you're snapping at me?" Darien asked her with a pointed look.
" Darien! I'm going to slam the door and I hope it smacks that pretty boy face of yours." Serena yelled at him and just as she started to close the door he put his foot in the way.
" Okay, okay I'm sorry. I won't say anything about you having PMS either." Darien put his hands up.
" Darien!" Serena roared at him.
" Okay I'm zipping my lips. Not a peep out of me, not one word but before I do that, I want to let you know that my butt is starting to freeze. Okay I'll shut the mouth and just stand here looking sexy while you consider letting me in." Darien hummed while he waited.
" Oh shut up and get in the house." Serena quickly shut the door after him then turned to face him.
" Just find a seat anywhere and for the sake of everyone keep your mouth shut because if you make one remark about me, I'm going to throw you out the door. Is that understood?" Serena asked him.
" Gee aren't we ornery?"
" Darien, I'm warning you." Serena pointed a finger at him.
" Okay, not one word from me." Darien nodded at her innocently.
They moved into the living room after Serena had hung his jacket in the closet and without a thought to Darien, she went to lay on the sofa with the quilt thrown over her body and forgot about everything but the movie.
Darien looked at Serena before moving to the other couch to make himself comfortable he glanced at the television before shaking his head to himself. No wonder Serena had been scared out of her wits when she opened the door. The movie she was watching even scared him because it gave him a creeping feeling down his spine. He turned back to watch her before smiling to himself when he noticed she was totally engrossed in the movie. When she was interested in something, she lost herself in it just like in detention today. She was the only one who could forget about him especially being two feet away from him in a room. His stomach started to growl before he asked Serena,
" Can I get something to drink and something to much on?" She nodded her head but was engrossed in the movie to care what he was doing as long as he didn't rob them blind. Darien moved into the kitchen, looked around while he noticed it wasn't as grand as his mother's but it had a homey feeling to it. He grabbed a drink from the refrigerator and looked in the cupboards to find something to munch on when he spotted a bag of popcorn. He made himself a bowl before he walked back into the living room. He headed to the loveseat when he took the path to the end of the sofa. Serena lay with her head on the hand rest and her legs stretched out, without a word being said she bent her legs to give him some room for him to get comfortable. After he had settled himself on the couch, she tucked her feet under his leg to keep her feet warm.
Darien smiled before grabbing a hand full of popcorn to pop in his mouth and focused on the movie. He was caught by surprise when he felt a soft smooth hand in the bowl when he went to grab another hand full. He glanced over at her and watched. Without breaking from the movie she had sat up to move closer to him to share the popcorn without being aware of her actions. She gently grabbed the soda he had opened and took a drink after eating a couple of hands full of popcorn and unconsciously gave him back his soda. Darien put his mouth over the open tap and felt the warmth were her lips had been over the open can. He got a distinct feeling it was almost like kissing her but he didn't want to go in that direction. After the popcorn had been eaten and the soda had been drunk, Darien stretched his arms over his head for a yawn and then let his arm fall around her shoulders. Instead of jumping away like he expected, she let her head fall onto his shoulder. She seemed to shift closer to him to get more comfortable and then he let the warmth of being with Serena spread throughout his body and then leaned his head back against the couch with his eyes closed. He had almost drifted off to sleep when Serena jumped with a scream. He tightly held onto her until he realized her words.
" Did you see that? That scared the living shit out of me!" Serena cried out while she buried her head into his shoulder.
" Serena calm down. There's nothing to be afraid of. I can't believe you just swore!" Darien told her in stunned belief.
" I scared you didn't I Darien? I only swear when I get scared, it's not that bad."
" Of course you scared me to death. I wasn't expecting a scream in my ear woman. It was nice and quiet until you screamed like a girl." Darien pointed out. He didn't want her to know she scared ten years out of him when he heard her scream. Something about hearing or seeing her hurt didn't sit well with him.
" Duh Darien, I am a girl if you don't know that by now." Serena stuck out her tongue at him and then settled back to watch the movie. She snuggled back into her position but after awhile she started to get drowsy and slowly her eyes slowly started to close. For the time in her life, she finally felt completely safe and protected. Her head softly fell forward and landed onto his chest.
Darien glanced down with surprise when he felt the pressure on his chest and smiled tenderly when he realized Serena had fallen asleep on his chest while she snored softly. He slowly bought his hand up, making sure he didn't move too much, to softly stroke her hair in a soothing rhythm and loved the feeling of her soft silky hair beneath his palm. He deeply inhaled the vanilla floral scent that drifted up into his nose and knew he would never forget the smell. He couldn't believe he was here with Serena and holding her in his arms. He leaned his head back when the feeling of tranquility passed through him and then closed his eyes as he drifted off to sleep. The dream that he had tried to deny came leaking through the hard walls of his mind that he was so powerless to stop.
The stars twinkled high above the blackened sky, reflecting like a million diamonds had been laid to rest on black velvet. The moon cast a soft glow around the embraced couple, casting a heavenly mist around the two people in love. Darien smiled down at Serena and then bent his head to give her a soft kiss on her temple while he held her tight.
" Do you know you're beautiful as an angel? You're my angel that was gifted just for me. You're mine and mine alone." Darien whispered softly in her ear. Serena looked up at him with bright shiny blue eyes that reflected him with love, she gave him a tender smile before kissing him softly on the corner of his mouth with gentle lips.
" Do you know you're my handsome mercy devil? You taught me so much and that's more than I could give you. You acted like the devil with me every time I saw you but you always caught me when I was falling and taught me I'm worth value. With you by my side, I can do anything because you give me the strength to believe in myself, that's why you're my mercy devil." She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and then buried her face into the crook of his neck.
Darien tightened his arms around her waist and then rested his forehead against hers. After a few moments of peaceful silence, he titled her head with his forefinger and looked deeply into her blue eyes. He tenderly stroked the side of her face and watched when her eyes closed in peace. He leaned closer until her eyes slowly opened to focus on his and then he said the words that had plagued him since he first had seen her. He took a deep breath and softly whispered,
" I love you."
