Excerpt from Surprise
"Okay" Serena responded to the door. Hurriedly she put on the shirt, leaving the last two buttons on top off, giving a good show of her deep cleavage. In the bathroom, she brushed her hair to a presentable way then sighed. Serena didn't know what to expect or what can be made from Darien's surprise. She had already seen him very protective of her, so it was a wonder why he would allow her to dress just in a pajama shirt and nothing else but her panties on. Surely the surprise wasn't a guy or he would be asking her to put on his winter clothes. She giggled at the thought when she opened the door. Walking curiously out she stopped at fourth step. Darien was in the kitchen, drinking from a glass, as brunet stood across the counter from him. Darien met her eyes winking then fully smiling 'No he didn't' thought Serena as the gut feeling of a doing complete show came to her mind. Her eyes gone back to meet the brunet, turning Serena's mind screamed 'BEL'.
~ Too Little To Late
Serena and Bel's eyes met and as expected Bel's features went from surprise to anger as she took full notice of Serena's revealing attire, Darien's favorite black silk pajama shirt. Though it fell freely to her knees, Serena had looked provocative with her hair comb through and shirt open the way it was. Bel had a thorough look at Serena than turned to Darien with questioning eyes.
Darien could only treasure the strained look on Bel's face as she turned. He had held his glass steady while looking at one woman to another. Bel studying Serena, eyeing her from head to toe, he wondered what she thought of 'his' Serena. Serena on the other hand, held a steady mature look that he could only be so proud of. Even the surprise on her features for a mere second couldn't falter the grown up way she was handling all this. 'God he loved that girl' If this had been another woman, he knew probably they would slap him for making them face his ex-girlfriend but Serena was different.
In the bright lights of the apartment and at the moment Darien was enjoying the view. Not only proud, but taken to how stunning Serena looked in a mere pajama shirt, she was breathtakingly beautiful and looking deliciously rumpled, courtesy by him of course, he grinned. At first taken by the unbuttoned shirt but later only saw it as adding salt to injury. Bel for one couldn't measure to Serena's well-endowed features. Darien's eyes had darted towards Serena's showing cleavage, 'not even close' he thought silently with a wide grin of approval. He hadn't told her to leave those two buttons open but how happy he was when she did. For Bel could never amount to Serena, mind, body and soul. Her brown eyes could never match Serena's baby blue's, Bel's thin lips would never measure to Serena's voluptuous set. Bel's semi shapely figure could never counter Serena's curvaceous ones and still she hasn't filled in. He could only try to imagine Serena's nurtured future self, filling in to adulthood and it was all his. Greedily he admitted, yes folks if prevented he would never let this one go.
His eyes felt the piercing gaze and he turned from Serena's figure towards Bel's angered one. Darien eyed her for a brief moment, noticing the rumpled napkin in her hand being torn. Placing his glass down, with a large smile he made his way towards Serena. With his back towards Bel, Serena saw the gleam in his eyes. Nearing her, Darien took the closest hand near him, brining it up to his lips. With a kiss known to the both of them that there was more to come later. It was quite innocent. Chasten. Winking at first, Darien muttered the words... 'I love you'. Serena smiled lovingly, forgetting all the while that there was an audience, watching the intimate scene unfold. Bel hadn't missed the affections being exchanged. "Play along" Darien whispered to her ear.
"Bel... I want you to meet my girlfriend Serena" Darien placed his arm around Serena's shoulder possessively. "Bel Bradley... Serena Tsukino... Serena... Bel" Bel didn't say a word; the voice she had thought to use to gain Darien back was gone. It had taken Serena a few seconds to realize what Darien was up too and thought she thought of it cruel, she had disliked this girl from the start. She remembered all those nights where she sat trying to figure ways of kicking her shadow and free Darien. All those days where she had cried thinking Darien would never love her. All those days where she would find Darien in depressed.
Serena took one look at Bel and thought it was her cue. Stepping away from Darien, Serena neared Bel. "Nice to meet you Bel" holding out her hand she greeted her.
"Like wise" she eyed Serena before averting back to Darien who she found was eyeing Serena fondly. "I didn't know. I" Bel had begun to say when she couldn't get the last few words out.
"How do you know Darien?" Serena turned to Bel then towards Darien who now was looking at her suspiciously. Bel had brought her eyes back to Serena and was completely oblivious to the question.
"I... We.... Used to be roommate and a bit more." Bel eyed her as to see if she felt at lease intimidated knowing the she was Darien's first love.
"Really?" Serena turned to Darien "I didn't know that... Darien. Sweetie." Serena coated sweeter than usual "you never mentioned Bel to me before?" she pouted. Darien wanted to laugh 'Oh yeah' he thought 'I love this girl'.
"Sorry baby" he pulled her against him. "It was a measly little thing that I didn't think it was worth mentioning" Bel's jaw dropped 'measly little thing' she thought 'I'll tell her how measly it was'
"Measly little thing? Darien. How could you say that... you proposed to me?" she urged. Apparently from Bel's eyes, this girl was not told anything about 'BEL'. 'Well it's time that she did' and know that she still mattered in his life.
"Proposed?" Serena looked up into Darien's eyes "honey that doesn't sound like a measly thing to me?" Serena's back was towards Bel, so when Darien had looked down to find Serena's fingers moving about he wanted to burst out laughing. Their her she was, tisking him with her index finger.
"Oh that... geez I guess it was another measly little moment." He turned to Bel "I forgot about that... but I do seem to recall having a few drinks that night with the guys" Darien brought his gaze down towards Serena "It was all under clouded judgment" he kissed her lightly on the cheek then releasing Serena from his arms. "I didn't think you would take me seriously" Darien's eyes became a serious shade of blue, darting towards Bel.
"I.... I. yes." the yes was a whisper. Bel was amazed; her she had been thinking that Darien would always take her back. Always forgive her and always love her was she ever wrong. She had been sure that when she left, then returned, a welcome mat would be there for her, begging for her to stay. Now, the scene fore told how easily replaced she was, especially with this girl who was the complete opposite of her.
"Darien. I'm jealous. You said I would be the 'ONLY ONE'" Again Serena pouted.
"Awe. Baby..." he forced Serena to face him "Baby you'll always be the only one... you got that?" he waited for her to nod "anyone before you was a mere fling and nothing more. right Bel?" he turned to her another surprised feature. She had been dumbfounded by the question. To as much as she could, she nodded then turned around. Her mind relaying the facts, she was so easily replaced and all attention he was giving this blond bimbo was once directed to her. Bel was gone and now there was this girl. Sometime ago Darien had once loved her, she knew that. from every little thing he did was for her. What he had for her was special... it couldn't of been ignited that quick. not by this girl. Bel had endured the grave mistake she had made when she left Darien. After long months of knowing the truth, she wanted Darien back... for he was the only one. that could ever love her the way any man could. With new profound strength she returned to the couple who, while her back turned were kissing each other intimately.
"Um.....Darien.." Bel waited as he ended the kiss and faced Bel "can I talk to you?" Darien got a hold of his hunger rising again as he kissed Serena. At the moment she had just wished she would take the hint and go away.
"Sure... have a seat" he gestured towards the couches. Bel had made her way towards the couches and made herself comfortable. Guiding Serena, he followed closely behind.
"Alone if I could" she pleaded. She knew it would be far more difficult to plead with him with her distracting him. Darien became serious as he guided Serena to sit down. Loving every minute of this show, he wouldn't have had Bel brought down any other way. Once situated, his sharp eyes turned to face Bell who was to the right of him on another couch.
"What ever... You need to say to me Bel. You can say it in front of Serena. She is a part of me." Bel nodded, swallowing the heavy lump in her throat, she spoke.
"Well you see. Darien. I come to realize that what I did was wrong. And I do apologize" she had looked at his eyes and still they were flat with hidden emotions. "But for these past several months. I have come to realize how stupid I was to leave you. Knowing that you have loved me unconditionally. You see," Bel began to clamp and unclamp her hands.
Serena listened on, and as much as she had heard Darien say he loves her. Bel's confession might be Serena's downfall. She sat worried, afraid that if Darien still had a small ounce of love left for Bel's he wouldn't hesitate to go back to her. She watched him, eyeing him carefully, trying to foretell whether she and Darien would have a future or would he and Bel. The mere thought, made Serena's stomach churn in fear.
"I came here to see or perhaps work things out between you and me," Bel paused at the sight of Darien. His jaw set firm, his lips thinly lined with irritation. "Darien I Lo" she started before Darien cute her off.
"Bel, its over. You had your chance to feel and say those words for over a year. Now when I find happiness you come back claiming to have love me or love me now" Darien was angry and in his features he held no feelings what so ever for this Bel. Serena was relieved to see and hear that. "I don't think you know what loveis? I heard that the one man that you thought could call your needs left you dry." Serena watched Bel's eyes grow wide. Darien had never told her about this. Eyeing Bel with a narrowed surprised look. "You use people like they were mere play things, seeing and competing to who can full fill that fairy tale of yours."
"But Darien... I.. do Love..." Darien interrupted her again, and this time stood to at an aggressive stance. The grudge that he had been holding for so long has finally been released, and if Serena didn't know any better, she wouldn't be surprised if he slapped Bel across the face.
"All you ever were, were a pack of lies."
"Darien.. Please.. listen to me" she pleaded.
"Save it Bel."
"Darien, we can make this work. Just give me a chance to prove it to you." Bel eyed Serena "Just let her go and we can be together again.. I know you still love me!"
"You have got to be kidding?" Muttered Darien in a very angered tone. His hand clenched and Serena instinctively reached out and wrapped her hands around his. Darien had looked down, to meet Serena's claming blue eyes. The strength... the peace within Serena was just to overpowering for him to be so angry. He smiled thanking her for her serene presence and with a sigh he returned his gaze to Bel.
"It's too little too late!" Darien stood and made his way to the front. Taking a deep sigh he turned and met Serena's reassuring eyes then Bel. "I would never take a chance on you and loose what I have now" Tenderly he smiled at Serena. Serena was speechless, other than those three words he had said earlier and kept on saying, he has never confessed his true feelings. Bel had noticed that each time he looked at the woman next to him, it was filled with tenderness and love. Where as when he looked at her, his eyes filled with bitterness and resentment. "You had your chance. Many chances in fact, to prove to me that you loved me. Till now I don't think you harbor those feelings towards me." There was a brief pause before Darien began once more. "Bel... yes I loved you once but everything is in the past those feelings are long gone and they could never compare to what I have now." He neared Serena and caressed her hair. "Unlike you from the start, Serena has loved me unconditionally. With her I am happy and I've never been happier, even with our good days combined I was never this happy with you. So What ever you think you came back too. It's not here." His words hit Bel with a finality. Speechless, she stood, feeling the rejection. She knew she was unworthy of the love Darien had been so willingly given.. but she had hoped that she could make it up to him. Just as Darien said.. Too Little Too Late.
"I guess I should be going," Bel's eyes were blurring with pain. Serena felt sorry for her but she had been the one to make Darien feel this way. She saw Bel making her way to the door and Serena touched Darien's hand on her shoulder. With a quick look she gave Darien a helpless smile. Pleading with him to try to end this on a better note. Darien saw it and smiled, his Serena was so understanding.
"Bel." Bel stopped in mid stride and turned. She watched Darien approach her.
"I hope you find that someone that can make you happy. It might be too late for you and I but I'm pretty sure there are plenty of guys out there that would like a shot with you." he smiled. The first true and real smile she had seen from him that was directed towards her.
"Thank you." Darien walked her out the door. Serena sat on the couch with her legs tucked in. She watched him make his peace with Bel and himself, she could never have been more proud. No matter what he had said before the confrontation... she was positive.. that Darien is fully hers, to touch, to feel to love and... to torture.. The thoughtful glint in her eyes were bright and Darien who was making his way to her didn't miss it.
"And what does my little imp have in mind?" He asked with his hands on his hips.
"Just thinking," she smiled cunningly. Serena's effects were strong on Darien's body. Just by the mere look of her, she had him in the palm of her hands.
"And what were you thinking about?" He watched Serena leaned back on the couch, pushing her hair back she laid her head on the arm rest of the couch. Darien's arched his brow. His sight traveling to her legs that were fully extended on his couch, she was such a contrast to the plush black upholstery. She looked so provocative with his black shirt which was now unbuttoned to the third button, her cleavage showing its fullness. Serena brought her arms back towards her head, smoothly the silk shirt rode up.
"I was just thinking, now that I have you.."
"Uh huh.." Darien took slow and subtle steps towards his temptress.
"That I have rights" she smiled seductively, biting her bottom lip. Her eyes grazed at his silk pants and the effects were obvious.
"What kind of rights would those be?" he stood beside her, holding himself from ravishing the girl.
"Rights like to hold you," she winked and brought her left hand up to touch him "to touch you," Touch him she did, at the most sensitive part of his body, his jewels. He groaned, biting his lips to hold himself in check. Serena now brought both fingers to towards the mid of her shirt. Slowly she started to unbutton the remaining buttons "to torture you." The last words were a whisper and a dare. He took it and willingly eased on top of Serena.

"I think this is the earliest we've come home," Michiru spoke while leaning on her boyfriend. A crowd of 10 people made there way towards their dorm-apartment.
"Man I'm tired.."
"Your tired? My feet hurt. Thank's to you" Michael started limping, making the pain more distinct then it was.
"Can be as bad as smelling like beer" Kyle lifted his wet shirt.
"That's what you get for saying stuff like that to girls you don't know." Setsuna added from the arms of her boyfriend. They entered the lobby and was stopped by the evenings attendant.
"Ohh come on. Chris you see us all the time." Everyone had started to take their ID's out.
"No no... I thought I would tell you that I saw Bel come in." The name Bel had gotten the attention of all.
"Your kidding?" Haruka questioned.
"No... she walked in here an hour ago, asking me if I saw Darien come up"
"What did you say?" asked Michiru
"I said YES."
"He wasn't alone, was he?" asked Haruka, wondering why he didn't say Serena's name.
"No he was with Serena but before I could tell her that he had company, she took the elevators and went up." Just then the lobby doors opened and everyone found Sammy and Mika walking in.
"Hey guys a little early for you all."
"Sammy.... Guess who's here?" Sammy and Mika looked at each other and wondered.
"Who?" The door to the elevator dinged and Chris coughed knowingly. Everyone turned, eyes red and make up smeared Bel came walking out. She eyed all of them, they had all disliked her from the start. They had been right when they told Darien that she was using him but back then Darien refused to believe a word.
"Hi" she waved in a shy manner. It was silent for a few minutes when Michiru seeing that the girl must of faced Darien with Serena. Everyone had known that his longing and depression had caused him to hold a grudge against Bel. But as much as she disliked the girl, she looked like hell right now.
"Hi Belinda" Michiru started
"How you been?" asked Setsuna, trying to follow Michiru's lead.
"I've been better"
"What are you doing here?" asked Michael with everyone staring at him. Bel's features became grim and she tried to stifle a smile.
"Well.. I came to see Darien" They quieted, they didn't know what greeted her up there but knew it was a sad one for her eyes were red from crying. Bel caught Sammy staring and didn't say a word. She had remembered when Sammy had confronted Darien about her and he refuse to belive him. Causing their friendship to head spiral downwards. "Anyways.. I have to go.. bye everyone" she waved and approached the glass doors. Something in the back of her mind itched and she turned. Sammy's eyes still held firmly on her, then thought the looked vaguely familiar, Tsukino.... "Sammy?"
"Yes" the answer was quick.
"Do you have a sister?"
"Yes.. I do," he smiled
"Would her name happen to be Serena?" Bel watch him nod with a curt answer.
"Beautiful isn't she?" Bel was speechless, the woman with Darien was Sammy's sister. Nodding she smiled faintly and left through the doors.
Her retreating figure became faint, it was then everyone looked at one another than to Sammy. A few seconds later started laughing.
"Sammy that was mean?" Mika swatted him on the shoulder.
"Yeah but a classic," Michiru laughed and grasped her boyfriends hand, it was then she had a thought. "Hey you think Darien and Serena want company?"
"Nah.. guys leave them alone, their talking." Sammy respected Darien's peace.
"YEAH right," said Kyle " They are probably getting it on right now and," Kyle started to say when he was hit over the head by Hotaru and Michael. Their was a thoughtful look in both Haruka's and Sammy's eyes, then both nodded.
"On second thought, I think they do need company." Sammy and Haruka started walking towards the elevator with everyone laughing and trailing behind.
"Sammy, I thought you said you are okay with this?" Mika entered next to Sammy.
"I am. But if WE can prevent it then we will." Everyone groaned and rolled their eyes.
"Darien's gonna be one frustrated MAN," muttered Hotaru then snuggling towards her own boyfriend.
~
"Darien.. I can't take this anymore please." Serena muttered through kisses and Darien's hand above her breast. "I cant" she withered in pleasure as his lips turned to her breast once more. Smiling with pride he stood, looking at her with admiration. Her shirt fully unbuttoned, revealing her deep cleavage and lacey black panties.
"Absolutely Beautiful" Without another word, he reached down and scoped her into his arms. Serena snuggling into him, kissing his lips as he slowly made his way to the bedroom. The room was a mere foot away when they heard a knock. Their lips stopped its caressing as they quieted and opened their eyes. Again a thumping knock, with a groan Darien let Serena down. Serena giggled as he looked down at himself. "This is not our night. Button those." he pointed as he made his way to the door.
Opening the door, he was ready to kill who ever was playing games with him now. "Cant we have any peace." his voice trailed as he notice Haruka and Sammy with their arms crossed and eight heads smiling. "umm...?" Darien stared at them. Mika gave Darien a thorough look and giggled.
"We saw Bel downstairs and we wanted to know if everything was okay?" Michiru added since the two boys in front wasn't saying anything.
"What happened?" asked Michael
"Did Serena let her have it?"
"Darien can we come in?" Sammy asked calmly. From the looks of things, they have definitely been wrapped up in some heated game. Darien took a look at Sammy then to Haruka who raised their brow. He shook his head before turning behind the door. Serena was gone, assuming that she had heard who it was and ran into the room. Darien took one last sigh and opened the door to let them in. Quickly everyone filed in, looking around for Serena. The guys had sat down, making themselves comfortable while Darien went to the kitchen and started the coffee maker, knowing that this was going to be a long night. In the meantime he started to drink the glass of water he had left on the counter. Sammy and Haruka eyeing him suspiciously. From the stools that the two occupied, Sammy leaned in.
"Darien what path did you choose?" Darien eyed Sammy between his glass. Swallowing the cold liquid, he answered.
"The straight one we cant get a moments peace in this place," Darien said dryly. Sammy and Haruka started laughing. Everyone turned to find the three laughing.
"Its not nice to keep secrets," said Mika coming along behind Sammy.
"So, What happened with Bel?" Michael asked
"First, Where is Serena?" asked Michiru, curious and wanting to get the dibs on what had happened. Happened between her and Bel then she'll question her on her and Darien.
"I'm right here" the voice was soft and subtle. Darien turned to find Serena fully clothed. He groaned then turned around in protest.
"What's everyone up too?" Serena asked as she neared her boyfriend, eyeing him as she took his glass. Taking a good gulp, Serena didn't realize she was so thirsty.
"Nothing what's going on with YOU," smiled Hotaru.
"You know that's a good question.... Up till the moment Bel had shown, Darien and I were having a perfect time. Then she leaves and we think we can get a moments peace then you guys show up. SO let me ask you, what's with the visit?" Darien smiled, that was his girl. He knew she was as frustrated as he was and it only showed.
"WE wanted to know what happened with Bel??"
"YEAH!" Serena and Darien rolled their eyes...Darien snaked his arms around Serena's waist and groaned inwardly...... Yes this was going to be a long evening.
Stay tune for the next Series..... of Wildfire.
This is the END till I can come up with a comfortable plotting for the next Series.
'Far and Away' - The series will tell the story of how S&D will cope with their long distance relationship. Of course just like Bel, there will always be a driving force to tear them apart. This time its Darien's cousin name Diamond.
I wont promise anything nor will I saw this story is short. Just by the way my notes are jumbled It will probably be as long as the original wildfire. Anyhow, Sorry for the long haul and I know you guys wanted the juicy stuff of them getting it fully on but I've tried making love scenes.. and Ill just plain out say, I cant do them!
I know I've been gone a LONG TIME... Sorry! Motherly duties come first. I tried to edit theses stories and I don't think I did very well. So Im requesting for an editor please. Anyone that would like to apply please email me. Other than grammar and spelling, I need an editor that will get critical. I would like them to stay on a deadline and KEEP ME IN LINE for mine!
Hope a few of you are interested... raqcorpuz@sbcglobal.net
Take Care.. and drop me a line sometime.

"Alone if I could" she pleaded. She knew it would be far more difficult to plead with him with her distracting him. Darien became serious as he guided Serena to sit down. Loving every minute of this show, he wouldn't have had Bel brought down any other way. Once situated, his sharp eyes turned to face Bell who was to the right of him on another couch.
"What ever... You need to say to me Bel. You can say it in front of Serena. She is a part of me." Bel nodded, swallowing the heavy lump in her throat, she spoke.
"Well you see. Darien. I come to realize that what I did was wrong. And I do apologize" she had looked at his eyes and still they were flat with hidden emotions. "But for these past several months. I have come to realize how stupid I was to leave you. Knowing that you have loved me unconditionally. You see," Bel began to clamp and unclamp her hands.
Serena listened on, and as much as she had heard Darien say he loves her. Bel's confession might be Serena's downfall. She sat worried, afraid that if Darien still had a small ounce of love left for Bel's he wouldn't hesitate to go back to her. She watched him, eyeing him carefully, trying to foretell whether she and Darien would have a future or would he and Bel. The mere thought, made Serena's stomach churn in fear.
"I came here to see or perhaps work things out between you and me," Bel paused at the sight of Darien. His jaw set firm, his lips thinly lined with irritation. "Darien I Lo" she started before Darien cute her off.
"Bel, its over. You had your chance to feel and say those words for over a year. Now when I find happiness you come back claiming to have love me or love me now" Darien was angry and in his features he held no feelings what so ever for this Bel. Serena was relieved to see and hear that. "I don't think you know what loveis? I heard that the one man that you thought could call your needs left you dry." Serena watched Bel's eyes grow wide. Darien had never told her about this. Eyeing Bel with a narrowed surprised look. "You use people like they were mere play things, seeing and competing to who can full fill that fairy tale of yours."
"But Darien... I.. do Love..." Darien interrupted her again, and this time stood to at an aggressive stance. The grudge that he had been holding for so long has finally been released, and if Serena didn't know any better, she wouldn't be surprised if he slapped Bel across the face.
"All you ever were, were a pack of lies."
"Darien.. Please.. listen to me" she pleaded.
"Save it Bel."
"Darien, we can make this work. Just give me a chance to prove it to you." Bel eyed Serena "Just let her go and we can be together again.. I know you still love me!"
"You have got to be kidding?" Muttered Darien in a very angered tone. His hand clenched and Serena instinctively reached out and wrapped her hands around his. Darien had looked down, to meet Serena's claming blue eyes. The strength... the peace within Serena was just to overpowering for him to be so angry. He smiled thanking her for her serene presence and with a sigh he returned his gaze to Bel.
"It's too little too late!" Darien stood and made his way to the front. Taking a deep sigh he turned and met Serena's reassuring eyes then Bel. "I would never take a chance on you and loose what I have now" Tenderly he smiled at Serena. Serena was speechless, other than those three words he had said earlier and kept on saying, he has never confessed his true feelings. Bel had noticed that each time he looked at the woman next to him, it was filled with tenderness and love. Where as when he looked at her, his eyes filled with bitterness and resentment. "You had your chance. Many chances in fact, to prove to me that you loved me. Till now I don't think you harbor those feelings towards me." There was a brief pause before Darien began once more. "Bel... yes I loved you once but everything is in the past those feelings are long gone and they could never compare to what I have now." He neared Serena and caressed her hair. "Unlike you from the start, Serena has loved me unconditionally. With her I am happy and I've never been happier, even with our good days combined I was never this happy with you. So What ever you think you came back too. It's not here." His words hit Bel with a finality. Speechless, she stood, feeling the rejection. She knew she was unworthy of the love Darien had been so willingly given.. but she had hoped that she could make it up to him. Just as Darien said.. Too Little Too Late.
"I guess I should be going," Bel's eyes were blurring with pain. Serena felt sorry for her but she had been the one to make Darien feel this way. She saw Bel making her way to the door and Serena touched Darien's hand on her shoulder. With a quick look she gave Darien a helpless smile. Pleading with him to try to end this on a better note. Darien saw it and smiled, his Serena was so understanding.
"Bel." Bel stopped in mid stride and turned. She watched Darien approach her.
"I hope you find that someone that can make you happy. It might be too late for you and I but I'm pretty sure there are plenty of guys out there that would like a shot with you." he smiled. The first true and real smile she had seen from him that was directed towards her.
"Thank you." Darien walked her out the door. Serena sat on the couch with her legs tucked in. She watched him make his peace with Bel and himself, she could never have been more proud. No matter what he had said before the confrontation... she was positive.. that Darien is fully hers, to touch, to feel to love and... to torture.. The thoughtful glint in her eyes were bright and Darien who was making his way to her didn't miss it.
"And what does my little imp have in mind?" He asked with his hands on his hips.
"Just thinking," she smiled cunningly. Serena's effects were strong on Darien's body. Just by the mere look of her, she had him in the palm of her hands.
"And what were you thinking about?" He watched Serena leaned back on the couch, pushing her hair back she laid her head on the arm rest of the couch. Darien's arched his brow. His sight traveling to her legs that were fully extended on his couch, she was such a contrast to the plush black upholstery. She looked so provocative with his black shirt which was now unbuttoned to the third button, her cleavage showing its fullness. Serena brought her arms back towards her head, smoothly the silk shirt rode up.
"I was just thinking, now that I have you.."
"Uh huh.." Darien took slow and subtle steps towards his temptress.
"That I have rights" she smiled seductively, biting her bottom lip. Her eyes grazed at his silk pants and the effects were obvious.
"What kind of rights would those be?" he stood beside her, holding himself from ravishing the girl.
"Rights like to hold you," she winked and brought her left hand up to touch him "to touch you," Touch him she did, at the most sensitive part of his body, his jewels. He groaned, biting his lips to hold himself in check. Serena now brought both fingers to towards the mid of her shirt. Slowly she started to unbutton the remaining buttons "to torture you." The last words were a whisper and a dare. He took it and willingly eased on top of Serena.

"I think this is the earliest we've come home," Michiru spoke while leaning on her boyfriend. A crowd of 10 people made there way towards their dorm-apartment.
"Man I'm tired.."
"Your tired? My feet hurt. Thank's to you" Michael started limping, making the pain more distinct then it was.
"Can be as bad as smelling like beer" Kyle lifted his wet shirt.
"That's what you get for saying stuff like that to girls you don't know." Setsuna added from the arms of her boyfriend. They entered the lobby and was stopped by the evenings attendant.
"Ohh come on. Chris you see us all the time." Everyone had started to take their ID's out.
"No no... I thought I would tell you that I saw Bel come in." The name Bel had gotten the attention of all.
"Your kidding?" Haruka questioned.
"No... she walked in here an hour ago, asking me if I saw Darien come up"
"What did you say?" asked Michiru
"I said YES."
"He wasn't alone, was he?" asked Haruka, wondering why he didn't say Serena's name.
"No he was with Serena but before I could tell her that he had company, she took the elevators and went up." Just then the lobby doors opened and everyone found Sammy and Mika walking in.
"Hey guys a little early for you all."
"Sammy.... Guess who's here?" Sammy and Mika looked at each other and wondered.
"Who?" The door to the elevator dinged and Chris coughed knowingly. Everyone turned, eyes red and make up smeared Bel came walking out. She eyed all of them, they had all disliked her from the start. They had been right when they told Darien that she was using him but back then Darien refused to believe a word.
"Hi" she waved in a shy manner. It was silent for a few minutes when Michiru seeing that the girl must of faced Darien with Serena. Everyone had known that his longing and depression had caused him to hold a grudge against Bel. But as much as she disliked the girl, she looked like hell right now.
"Hi Belinda" Michiru started
"How you been?" asked Setsuna, trying to follow Michiru's lead.
"I've been better"
"What are you doing here?" asked Michael with everyone staring at him. Bel's features became grim and she tried to stifle a smile.
"Well.. I came to see Darien" They quieted, they didn't know what greeted her up there but knew it was a sad one for her eyes were red from crying. Bel caught Sammy staring and didn't say a word. She had remembered when Sammy had confronted Darien about her and he refuse to belive him. Causing their friendship to head spiral downwards. "Anyways.. I have to go.. bye everyone" she waved and approached the glass doors. Something in the back of her mind itched and she turned. Sammy's eyes still held firmly on her, then thought the looked vaguely familiar, Tsukino.... "Sammy?"
"Yes" the answer was quick.
"Do you have a sister?"
"Yes.. I do," he smiled
"Would her name happen to be Serena?" Bel watch him nod with a curt answer.
"Beautiful isn't she?" Bel was speechless, the woman with Darien was Sammy's sister. Nodding she smiled faintly and left through the doors.
Her retreating figure became faint, it was then everyone looked at one another than to Sammy. A few seconds later started laughing.
"Sammy that was mean?" Mika swatted him on the shoulder.
"Yeah but a classic," Michiru laughed and grasped her boyfriends hand, it was then she had a thought. "Hey you think Darien and Serena want company?"
"Nah.. guys leave them alone, their talking." Sammy respected Darien's peace.
"YEAH right," said Kyle " They are probably getting it on right now and," Kyle started to say when he was hit over the head by Hotaru and Michael. Their was a thoughtful look in both Haruka's and Sammy's eyes, then both nodded.
"On second thought, I think they do need company." Sammy and Haruka started walking towards the elevator with everyone laughing and trailing behind.
"Sammy, I thought you said you are okay with this?" Mika entered next to Sammy.
"I am. But if WE can prevent it then we will." Everyone groaned and rolled their eyes.
"Darien's gonna be one frustrated MAN," muttered Hotaru then snuggling towards her own boyfriend.
~
"Darien.. I can't take this anymore please." Serena muttered through kisses and Darien's hand above her breast. "I cant" she withered in pleasure as his lips turned to her breast once more. Smiling with pride he stood, looking at her with admiration. Her shirt fully unbuttoned, revealing her deep cleavage and lacey black panties.
"Absolutely Beautiful" Without another word, he reached down and scoped her into his arms. Serena snuggling into him, kissing his lips as he slowly made his way to the bedroom. The room was a mere foot away when they heard a knock. Their lips stopped its caressing as they quieted and opened their eyes. Again a thumping knock, with a groan Darien let Serena down. Serena giggled as he looked down at himself. "This is not our night. Button those." he pointed as he made his way to the door.
Opening the door, he was ready to kill who ever was playing games with him now. "Cant we have any peace." his voice trailed as he notice Haruka and Sammy with their arms crossed and eight heads smiling. "umm...?" Darien stared at them. Mika gave Darien a thorough look and giggled.
"We saw Bel downstairs and we wanted to know if everything was okay?" Michiru added since the two boys in front wasn't saying anything.
"What happened?" asked Michael
"Did Serena let her have it?"
"Darien can we come in?" Sammy asked calmly. From the looks of things, they have definitely been wrapped up in some heated game. Darien took a look at Sammy then to Haruka who raised their brow. He shook his head before turning behind the door. Serena was gone, assuming that she had heard who it was and ran into the room. Darien took one last sigh and opened the door to let them in. Quickly everyone filed in, looking around for Serena. The guys had sat down, making themselves comfortable while Darien went to the kitchen and started the coffee maker, knowing that this was going to be a long night. In the meantime he started to drink the glass of water he had left on the counter. Sammy and Haruka eyeing him suspiciously. From the stools that the two occupied, Sammy leaned in.
"Darien what path did you choose?" Darien eyed Sammy between his glass. Swallowing the cold liquid, he answered.
"The straight one we cant get a moments peace in this place," Darien said dryly. Sammy and Haruka started laughing. Everyone turned to find the three laughing.
"Its not nice to keep secrets," said Mika coming along behind Sammy.
"So, What happened with Bel?" Michael asked
"First, Where is Serena?" asked Michiru, curious and wanting to get the dibs on what had happened. Happened between her and Bel then she'll question her on her and Darien.
"I'm right here" the voice was soft and subtle. Darien turned to find Serena fully clothed. He groaned then turned around in protest.
"What's everyone up too?" Serena asked as she neared her boyfriend, eyeing him as she took his glass. Taking a good gulp, Serena didn't realize she was so thirsty.
"Nothing what's going on with YOU," smiled Hotaru.
"You know that's a good question.... Up till the moment Bel had shown, Darien and I were having a perfect time. Then she leaves and we think we can get a moments peace then you guys show up. SO let me ask you, what's with the visit?" Darien smiled, that was his girl. He knew she was as frustrated as he was and it only showed.
"WE wanted to know what happened with Bel??"
"YEAH!" Serena and Darien rolled their eyes...Darien snaked his arms around Serena's waist and groaned inwardly...... Yes this was going to be a long evening.
Stay tune for the next Series..... of Wildfire.
This is the END till I can come up with a comfortable plotting for the next Series.
