*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena sat in her room silently, staring at her walls, but she was as happy as she could be. She closed her eyes and recapped on the weeks events, remembering each one like it were yesterday. She sighed contentedly, as she hugged her bunny and giggled happily. But she needed to get out of the house, so she got dressed and left for the Crown Arcade.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena hummed a quiet tune, as she skipped along the sidewalk. She reached the doors to the arcade, but a day wasn't a day until she manages to trip herself. Mind you, this trip was quite a graceful one, and she didn't even fall. Bells chimed as she entered, and she sat down in front of the counter.
"Hey Serena!" greeted Andrew, as he wiped his spotless counter once again. "How's it going?"
"It's all good! Darien and I are officially dating!" she announced happily as she glowed with pride.
"So I've heard! Congratulations!" he smiled at her, truly happy that she had finally found someone worthy.
"So Andrew, anything new?" she inquired, as she sipped her vanilla milkshake, her blue crystalline eyes looking at him with curiosity.
"Nah, nothing really..although there's this one person that keeps coming in here and sitting on the very end booth. He freaks me out a little, like a murderer or something.." he stated, shivering slightly. "Speaking of which, he's actually there right now.'
Serena turned her head to look to her left. She spotted a man in a black cloak and dark shades, which hid his eyes from her view. But the cloak and the shades didn't hide the person underneath very well, at least not from Serena's point of view. The rugged face, the dark hair, and the balled up fist were a dead giveaway; Damion.
I'm watching you.
He mouthed these words to her, and she froze. She didn't expect to see him anytime soon. She thought of only one thing to do..go see Darien.
"Hey Andrew, I've got to go, I'll catch ya later!" she said as she slipped some money onto the counter and left the arcade as fast as she could.
She walked down the street, glancing every once in a while to see if he was following her, and to her dismay, he was. He kept his distance, but was always in view.
She walked even faster, trying to loose him, but he followed her just the same. She began getting very nervous and scared, as she carried herself as fast as she could to Darien's apartment. She made her way down quite a deserted street, as he continued to follow her, but his pace was quickening. He closed in on her.
But luckily for her, she had finally made it to a public area, where he wouldn't dare do anything, although he continued to follow her.
She reached Darien's apartment, and went directly to the elevator. As the doors were closing, the last thing she saw was a dark figure staring at her, mouthing words, which she understood perfectly.
I'm watching you.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena sighed a breath of relief as she pressed the button '7' as it lit up, and brought her to the corresponding floor. She got out, and proceeded her way to Darien's room. She knocked and waited for him to answer.
"Serena! What are you doing here?" he asked surprised.
"I-I needed to see you." she explained, quite out of breath.
He ushered her in, and she settled herself on the leather couch.
"What happened?" he asked concerned. "You look like you've been running."
"I saw him."
"Who?"
"Damion."
At the mention of the name, Darien grew stiff.
"What did he do to you?" he asked harshly, but gentle enough not to scare her.
"I saw him at the Arcade," she explained " he was sitting in the end booth, and I got scared and I left. He followed me the entire way. And then he told me that he was watching me." She finished, tears springing to her eyes.
Darien sighed as he gathered her up in his arms as he rocked her back and forth. She cried silent tears into his shirt. They stayed like this for a while, until she lifted her head and giggled.
"Sorry..I sorta stained your shirt." She grinned sheepishly.
"That's ok, its Andrew's anyway. " he smiled back. "Tell you what, how about we go out for dinner tonight, and forget all about this day?" he proposed.
Serena's eyes lit up at the sound of food.
"Sure! Let me go home and get ready." She answered, going to the door.
"I'll pick you up at 6:30 then." he told her.
Serena walked away, but then suddenly turned around.
"Hey Darien...thanks for listening." She smiled warmly at him, her eyes reflecting gratitude.
"I'll always be here for you. I promise." He replied, as he blew her a kiss.
Serena blushed as she continued her walk to the elevator to go home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena threw various pieces of clothing around, muttering something about not having any clothes to wear.
"I really need to go shopping...I have absolutely nothing to wear!" she exclaimed, after rummaging through her entire closet.
Half an hour later, she was dressed. She sat at her vanity table, applying light make-up. She finally decided on a light pink dress with small spaghetti straps hanging at her shoulders. Her hair was up in its usual style; two buns atop her head. She applied light pink eye shadow to her eyes, and black mascara to accent her blue eyes. She put on a coat of light pink lip-gloss. She didn't need any blush, for her cheeks were already flushed from excitement. A string of pearls hung around her neck, as well as her wrist. Teardrop shaped diamonds adorned her earlobes. She glanced at her reflection; she looked gorgeous and she knew it.
Darien rang her doorbell promptly at 6:30.
"Serena honey! Darien's here!" her mother's voice rang out.
"Coming!" she yelled back, as she struggled to get her shoes on and find her purse. She glanced one more time at her reflection, approved of it, and flew down the stairs.
Darien entered their house just to see Serena fly down the stairs. He gaped at her. She was a sight for sore eyes. Her golden hair flowed behind her, not a split end in sight. Her eyes shone like sapphires, her lips were tinted a light pink, and her cheeks were rosy. He jaw hung so low that it took him a while to realize what he was doing. He quickly closed his mouth.
"Y-You look beautiful." He managed to stutter out.
Serena blushed even deeper red, as she was led out of her house.
"Be back before midnight!" her mother called out to her as she was leaving.
Serena continued her walk down the steps with Darien, as they made their way to his car. Being the gentlemen that he is, he opened the door and helped her in. She smiled a thanks in return. He got in the car, and started to drive.
"So, where are we going?" Serena inquired.
"It's a surprise.." He replied, grinning an impish grin.
Serena smiled, very much enjoying surprises.
Their ride was a silent one, but a comfortable silence. Every once in a while, Darien would glance over, and be mesmerized by the shadows that danced across her beautiful features. She too, in return would steal a look at him, memorizing every detail in his gorgeous face.
They soon reached their final destination, and Serena released an unearthly shriek.
"What?! You brought me here?! Darien, this is going to cost you a fortune!" she exclaimed finally aware that he had taken her to the most expensive, but most prestigious restaurant of Tokyo.
"Well, you deserve nothing but the best, and I'd take you anywhere to make you happy." He simply stated, as he gave her hand a light squeeze as he got out of the car.
A bellboy helped Serena out of her side, and Darien led her to the top of the grand stairs.
"Reservation for Shields." He told the man standing behind the podium.
The man scanned through his book, finally to come upon the name 'Shields'.
"Yes sir, right this way please." He bowed slightly, as another man escorted them to their table.
Darien helped Serena be seated, and she simply just stared around, enchanted by the intricate details around her.
"Darien, this place is amazing..." she whispered in awe, completely spellbound by the beauty of the place. "I've never seen walls and ceilings so pretty!" she mused.
Darien chuckled at her childish curiosity, watching her eyes swivel around the room, gazing at each and every decoration.
She soon tired of this, and began looking through her menu. Soon after, a waiter came to take their order.
"May I take your order?" he asked politely, ready to jot down whatever they may choose.
"I'll take the calamari, and the fillet salmon please." Darien ordered as he closed his menu.
Serena on the other hand had quite a hard time deciding. She went through quit a few dishes, until she decided on something simple.
"I'll just take the fettuccini alfredo please." She finished, as she in turn closed her menu.
They waited patiently for their meal, as they carried on a random conversation, but the words being exchanged mattered very little to them, what mattered the most was being with one another.
Soon after, their meal arrived.
"Mmm...Yummy!" serena said, rubbing her hands together, as she picked up her fork and dug in.
Darien chuckled at her immaturity, as he too began his meal.
An hour later, they sat there, bloated, unable to move.
"Ugh..I don't think I've ever eaten that much!" wailed Serena, as she rubbed her tummy, trying to comfort it from the bloated pain.
"Ugh....me neither...I feel like I just ate enough food to feed an army.." he mumbled.
"Hey, I have an idea, lets go for a walk." Darien suggested.
"By the beach?"
"Sure!"
"Alright, let's go!"
They stood up, paid for their delicious meal, and departed. They drove for a few minutes until they reached their destination. Once again, he helped her out of the car. They commenced their walk in the moonlight.
"Mmm...this is so nice Darien." She whispered softly as she hung on lightly onto his jacket.
Darien smiled and leaned down and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
They continued their serenade, until they reached a water fountain. Serena stopped and sat on the ledge, her fingers trailed ripples as she touched the still water. She then stood up and walked slowly around the perimeter of the fountain. Darien followed her, entranced by her movements. He walked up behind her and snaked his arms around her, turning her so that she'd face him. Their eyes met, and Darien leaned in, his forehead touching hers.
"Serena..." He whispered hoarsely.
Serena's emotions and senses were running wild. His hot breath on her lips was tickling, teasing, tempting her...wanting her.
His lips brushed over hers gently, followed with butterfly kisses, but they soon became more. His grip on her slim waist tightened, as he crushed his lips against hers, as they were enveloped in a soul searing, earth shattering kiss. Her knees felt like butter, and she surely would have collapsed by now if his arms weren't there to support her. His tongue ran across her bottom lip, as if asking for permission to enter. She complied hesitantly, as she let his expert tongue explore her virgin mouth. She moaned against him, as their kiss deepened. After several minutes, they separated for air. Their breaths were ragged, and her lips were bruised from his fiery kisses.
This continued for several more minutes, but they eventually made their way back to his car. He drove her home, but the drive was a silent one. No words were exchanged, for too many emotions and thoughts were floating around.
Their arrived at her house, as they both emerged from the car.
"Thanks Darien, I had a great time..." Serena began.
"No. Thank you, for letting me be part of your life." He replied softly, as he brushed some hair away from her face.
She blushed crimson red, still visible in the night.
"Well, goodnight." She smiled, as she gave him a quick peck on the lips before retreating to her residence.
She entered her house, and blew Darien a kiss, and received one in return. She watched his car drive off into the night.
She sighed contentedly, as she turned the lights on. Nobody was home, for they all left to go see her aunt for the weekend. She kicked off her shoes, and walked up the stairs. She entered her room, but before she could switch on the light, a voice came from the darkness. A voice she recognized.
"Good evening Serena."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Muahaha!! I'm finally done!! It's a cliffie!!! Teheh!! Guess who the mysterious voice is! Betcha you'll never guess!! (actually you will..) but meh...I'll try and update a lot sooner this time! Once again, sorry for the delay! Well, hope you enjoyed this chapter! Now please REVIEW!!!!!! They mean so much to me, and you people are all so great to me! Well..stay tuned!!

Serena sat in her room silently, staring at her walls, but she was as happy as she could be. She closed her eyes and recapped on the weeks events, remembering each one like it were yesterday. She sighed contentedly, as she hugged her bunny and giggled happily. But she needed to get out of the house, so she got dressed and left for the Crown Arcade.
