Chapter Ten

Neither one said anything as they walked into the boat they both called home. Brian looked over at Serena who stood just in the doorway. He knew she was thinking something was wrong since he didn't say he loved her when she had told him she loved him. Truth was she took him by surprise. Yes, he loved her more than anything in the world, but he wanted to do this right. So when she made no move to come any further he flipped on the lights to reveal his surprise for her. The bed had White and pink rose petals on the top of it. There was a vase of white and pink roses next to the bed. Serena took in the view and then looked at Brian and smiled. He remembered that she loved white and pink roses. He took her hand in his as he pulled her to the bed. He sat down so that she stood in between his legs. His hands rested on her hips. Her hands were on his shoulders.

"I remember the first time I saw you." He said softly" You wore this red bikini and your hair was down." she gave him a funny look before she spoke up to correct him.

"No, I was covered in mud because it had been raining all day and I was trying to recover my dog." she corrected him.

"No, that's when we first met, but I saw you a few weeks before that. You were on the beach with a group of your friends. I thought you were so beautiful, but then I got to know you and realized that beauty went beyond the looks. You have this big heart that you open up to everyone. I didn't think I deserved to be in that heart of yours. I tried to give you an easy way out, but instead you got hurt. I didn't plan for that to happen." he said as he kissed her hands gently.

"You were the first male in my life that never expected anything you just accepted me for me. It was so easy for me to share my hopes. My fears. My dreams with you. When I realized that I couldn't even begin to imagine my life without you in it I knew was in love with you." she confessed softly

"You told me you hated me." he reminded her

"I was angry at you." she said sheepishly.

"I know." he said" I love you. I've always loved you and I always will love you." he said as he kissed her gently on the lips.

She returned his kiss with all the pent up passionshe held inside of her. No other guy ever came close to making her feel the way Brian made her feel. He leaned back so that she was on top of him. His hands slid the straps of her dress down her arms as her hands found their way underneath his shirt. He kissed her neck as he rolled over to where she was underneath him. He brought his lips back to hers as he deepened the kiss. This was it. Their happy beginning. They'd waited so long for it and now they finally had it. Neither one knew how long they stayed in bed because by the time they opened their eyes it was mid afternoon and it was the sound of Roman's voice they caused them to wake up.

"Hey Brian man you up?" Roman asked as he walked into the room" Oh man well, I guess I don't have to ask how things went." he said once he noticed Serena in bed with Brian.

"You knew we'd get back together." Serena said as she felt her face color.

"Yeah I did. I'm gonna go I'll just see you two later on." He said as he turned and left.

"Oh my god." Serena said as she buried her face in Brian's shoulder.

"You know he knew before you told me that you were in love with me. He told me so him self." Brian said

"I think he has this sixth sense." she said

"Let's get dressed an go to lunch or something." Brian suggested

"Hmm I kind of like it right here." Serena said as she pulled Brian's head down toward hers and kissed him deeply.

"Mmm I do to, but all that 'work' caused me to be hungry." he said as he pulled back.

"Okay fine let's go get some food. I wanna see Suki and Tej anyway." she said as they got out of bed to get dressed.

When they made it to the garage Suki was outside she walked up to them as they got out of the car.

"How could you two hook up and not tell me?" she asked

"I see Roman's already told you guys." Brian said

"Yeah he did." Suki said

"You know all I gotta say it's about damn time." Tej said as he came out of the garage" I swear if the two of you got into one more dumb ass argument I would've fucked both your cars up then locked you two in a room together." he said

"Yeah I could see you doing that." Serena said

The rest of the afternoon was spent with them just hanging out with their friends and having a great time. For now life was great and whatever tomorrow held they'd face it together. Love wasn't as easy as they thought it would be, but it sure felt great once they stopped denying themselves and finally accepted the love they have always had for each other.
