Serena looked into the long mirror,
"I don't know if this is very me." Serena told Mina
"I think you look great in it." Mina said Serena looked again; she was wearing a very short black skirt with a white collared, cotton shirt. She had her hair in the pigtails she always wore. She just didn't like what she saw and didn't think Darien would ether, but it was too late, it was 5 to eight and she didn't have any time. She put on some Burberry perfume on and put on her strapy, open toe, black Steve Maddens. About 10 minute later he finally came, he was wearing a white button up shirt and black pants, and he also had a black jacket on. He was holding a single red rose.
"Too cheap to buy the dozen Darien?" she teased, she took the flower and smelled it, she smiled at the fragrance and kissed him on the cheek,
"Thank you, it's beautiful." She said,
"Well we should get going, are reservation are at 8:15." he said,
"Bye Mina, thank you!" Serena said as she left, Darien took her hand,
"By the way you look beautiful." he said, she blushed then thanked him. The walk to the restaurant was fun, Darien had missed this and Serena liked the feeling of being protected, when they got there they were immediately seated. The restaurant was nice, the bar was outside, it was Italian; there were Italian paintings and music, a live band, more like an orchestra though. There was a piano player, a celloist and a violinist. The rooms were dim, lit by candlelight and overhanging chandeliers that were very dim. They were seated at a table, Serena looked at the menu, she decided on pasta, as did Darien, while there orders were being made they talked,
"So Darien, tell me, what were you doing before college." she said, he looked hesitant at first,
"Well I was in High School, that's were I met my wife, we got married our senior year." He said
"Oh, I hope you don't mind me asking but, why so sudden?" Serena asked curiously,
"Well, we were in love. We always planned to get married as soon as we got out of college, maybe High School. But she got sick, she had this list of all the things she wanted to do before she… in her life, so I asked her to marry me." he said
"A list?" Serena asked, a weird feeling suddenly came over her
~*~*~Flash
"Why are we here?" she asked as she smiled, I smiled back and took her out of the car, I looked at her before talking, she was wearing a white skirt with blue long sleeved shirt with white collar, 3 white buttons and a white line going around the bottom of the shirt, she had white knee socks and a blue and white umbrella since it was raining (I didn't make up this outfit, Serena wears it in a missing episode, if u want to c the dress go to google then type in Sailor Moon castle in the sky. When u get their go to missing episodes summaries and the episode is called Sailor Moon Episode 6: "Protect the Song of Love! Serena)Plays Cupid)
I took the umbrella from her hand and put it in the car.
"Darien, we're going to get all wet and catch a cold." She said I smiled at her and took her hand over to the border between Tokyo and Kamakura.
"Darien, my stomach still hurts after all that chocolate." She whined
"Put on foot there and the other there." I instructed, she did so,
"What are you doing?" she asked me
"There." I said, she smiled
"You're in Kamakura and Tokyo." I said, she gave me a look like "I'm not following"
"You're in 2 places at once." I said simply she smiled like she couldn't
believe it then she hugged me tightly, I spun her around and she kissed me. (I
no it's a lot like a walk to remember but I'll try my best not to do any more
scenes like it except for the same lines in a scene in this chapter!! Sorry!
I'm really going to stop with that after this chapter.)
"Alright back to my apartment." I said as I dragged her to the car, she smiled
"What's next?" she asked me
~*~*~*Flash
"Serena? Do you want me to take you home?" He asked
"No, no," She said the feeling came over her again,
~*~*~*Flash
We drove over to where we first met Rini, the docks, we got out of the car and walked around, then we sat on the docks and took of our shoes and soaked out feet in the lake, she rested her head on my shoulder.
"Serena?" he asked
"Hmm?" she asked back
"Do you love me? he asked, she took her head of his shoulder and looked at me
"Of course I love you." She said
"So you'd do anything for me?" he asked, she nodded
"Will you do something for me then?" he asked
"Anything."
"Will you marry me?" he asked her as he gave her a half smile, she looked surprised at first then ecstatic, the tears started to well up in her eyes.
"Yes." She cried out as she kissed him, he took out a simple ring that had one diamond in the middle, it was maybe the simplest engagement ring but she loved it.
"I know this isn't the ring you probably imagined a prince gave his princess." he said
"No… It's much better." She cried as he put the ring on her finger, she hugged him tightly, a little too tightly that she knocked him into the lake. She tried to cover up her laughter but soon Serena was rolling around on the deck laughing hysterically, he kissed her even though I was still in the water and pulled her in.
"My new outfit!" she yelled, she was mad but all he could do was laugh
"Now who's laughing at whom?" he asked smugly, she laughed and dunked him underwater; they stayed like that for another hour.
~*~*~*Flash
"Serena maybe I should take you home." Darien said, she snapped out of it,
"Please don't" she said
"Can I ask you something?" She asked
"Yes?" he said
"If you could do it all over again… Would you do it? I mean met her and then letting her go." she said, he thought for a moment, suddenly the food came, they thanked the waiter as he left,
"Well this looks delicious." he said changing the subject, the rest of the meal was quiet. When it was over they headed back to the hotel,
"Would you like to come up?" he asked, she hesitated but knew what would happen if she said no,
"I'd love to." she said, they took the elevator, the room was dim like the restaurant, he took off his coat and sat on the bed, she took a seat next to him.
"You never answered my question." she said quietly, he looked at her; she looked beautiful with the moonlight bouncing off her,
"Would you do it?" she asked
"I would rather… I would rather have one kiss from her, one short conversation with her then going an eternity without her." he said slowly
"I would never want to be alone again." he said
"Sometimes it's better to be alone." she said recalling her memory of her lost love,
"Not always Serena." he said as he bent over and kissed her, her lips tingled, the kiss deepened and she knew what she had to do, she pulled away and took of her shirt… The night never seemed to end for those 2.
