~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~Serena~

Serena Collins wiped her head with the sleeve of her business coat as she was getting ready to go meet her boss. She was always wearing herself out in this job. Being the private secretary of one of the richest people in the country isn't the easiest thing in the world. But at least it paid well.

She walked out of her office and down the busy hall of one of the biggest businesses in the world. The Gary and Ferguson corp. This business was for everything that you could think of. Clothes, accessories,perfumes, flowers. You name it, they got it. And Serena was the secretary of Gary. Her best friend Mina was the secretary for Ferguson. She didn't have it as bad as Serena though. Serena's job was just a little more hectic.

She got to the end of the hall and stood in front of his door fixing herself so she would look good for her boss. He liked organized well-groomed people.

But as she raised her hand to knock, the door opened and there stood a man that she hadn't seen here before, and she had been working there for a while He was about 6foot 2. Way taller than Serena. Because she was just almost 5foot7. He was towering over her. He had ebony hair that fell in his face and looked really boyish and cute. He also was well built and tan. He was perfect. But that's not what caught her attention about him most. What did was the deep coloring of his eyes. They were a midnight dark blue that you could get lost in looking at for hours. And that's what Serena wanted to do. But couldn't because she was late to meet Gary. And he didn't like it when she is late. She lowered her hand and decided that she would be the first one to talk since they were just standing there.

"Excuse me, but is Mr. Gary in there by any chance?" she didn't get an answer. He was just standing there staring down at her. But little did she know, he was also thinking about her.

~Darien~

'She must be Uncle Gary's secretary that he was talking about.' He thought to himself. He looked her up and down.

'She's not half bad' he thought. 'Actually, not bad at all'.

He figured that she was around 5foot7 with her shoes on. She was wearing maroon high heels. She had the weirdest hairstyle that he had ever seen. Two balls on each side of her head with a sort of tail coming out of each one and flowed down her sides. It was the most beautiful color blonde that he had ever seen. He wondered how long it would be if it was all the way down. He would worry about that later. She had long creamy legs that were shown because of the suite she was wearing. It was a maroon suite with a miniskirt and a suite jacket that was V-neck and buttoned down the front. It was snug in all the right places and hugged her curves. Which he also pointed out was very nice. But that's not what caught his attention the most. What did were her eyes. The were the brightest blue ever and looked like they had sparkles in them. The were beautiful and he felt like he could stand there forever looking at them. But her voice cut in and interrupted him from his thinking. Her voice sounded like an angel. So soft and warm. Then her voice cut in again interrupting him again.

~Both~

'Why isn't he answering? He is just standing there staring at me. I wonder what he is thinking.' She decided to try again losing her patience.

"Is Mr. Gary here? Or is he of someplace else that I don't know of?" He finally answered her after about the third time.

"Uncle Gary isn't here right now but you are welcome to come in and get comfortable. He said that he had some unfinished business to attend to and told me to tell you to wait here until he gets back."

"Uncle? He is your uncle? Since when?" She asked. But then caught how stupid that question really was. But he still answered it.

"He is my uncle by marriage. I am up here for a vacation." She nodded her head in satisfaction and then walked into the spacey office. She sat down in one of the chairs infront of the desk and started to organize her papers again.

"May I ask what your name is?" He asked sitting in the chair next to her.

"Serena Collins. Your uncles personal secretary." She said then went on with her papers again. Then she remembered that she doesn't know his name either.

"What's yours?"

"Darien Matthews"

"Nice to meet you. How long will you be on vacation for?"

"About a month I hope. I love visiting him. He is the best person to know once you get to know him"

"Yah I guess he's alright."

"So what exactly do you do for him?"

"I basically tell him his agenda for the day and tell him when and where his meetings and stuff are. Pretty boring." After she said that last sentence Mr. Gary walked in the room and saw them talking.

"You two having fun?" He asked and then saw Serena jump up from where she was and walk over to him and start to give him his whole agenda for the day as usual.

"Ok, In an hour you will be going to a meeting with the flower industries so you can discuss how everything will be planned for the big dedication. Then you will be flying to Georgia for the peach tribute for the company. Then you will be going to Lunch with the mayor of NewYork at 2:30. And then." But Mr. Gary who had an exasperated look on his face interrupted her.

"Don't tell me any more. I want you to take a day off. Go have some fun. Darien will be accompanying you. I would really appreciate it if you showed him around the city."

"Are you sure Mr. Gary? I mean I have a bunch more paper work to fill out for you and get your agenda ready for you tomorrow and" But she was cut off again by him.

"Go" was all he said and needed to say. She looked over at Darien and he nodded his head. They walked out of the off ice and into the elevator.

"So where are you going to take me first?" He asked looking out of the corner of his eye.

" I am not really sure yet. Where would you like to go"

"How about we get a coffee at Starbucks?"

"Sure. I could use some coffee." They stepped out of the elevator and out of the office building.

Serena raised her arm for a taxi and one drove up her. They got in and she told him to take them to the closest Starbucks.
