Can't fight the moonlight
It was finally nighttime the time of the day where Darien dreaded the most. Why you ask? Well that question is easy to answer…one word…Trina!
Darien put on a random outfit and walked out of his house casually. He didn't even fuss the tiniest bit over what to wear and how he looked, after all it was just Trina, the annoying girl who'll never give up until she gets what she wants. But he also has some news for her. She will 'never' get him!
After a short drive Darien reached the mall where he was supposed to meet Trina. She had insisted on him picking her up but he made excuses saying he needed to do some errands for his mother before the date. She not surprisingly was gullible and believed every part of his little lie.
Darien walked over to Trina and handed her the movie ticket. He sighed heavily and walked after her into the theater. Both decided to see the Matrix reloaded. She continued walking until she got to the middle of the movie theater and sat down on a partly deserted row.
He decided that from this moment on he would just concentrate on the movie and pretend that he was watching it by himself rather then with Trina. And so the movie began.
During the movie Darien felt hands roam on his chest and a head plopped on his shoulder. He looked down to see Trina of course. She seemed too extremely comfortable.
Darien pushed her back up and pulled down the armrest. He was about to tell her off when he noticed a very familiar giggle coming from the row in front of them. Then he noticed the blonde head with the meatball style hairdo.
'Serena is here?' He thought to himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~
After the movie Diamond got into his car ready to drive Serena home. He insisted on taking her out to dinner but she refused.
Serena didn't want to be mean but she couldn't stand being around him anymore. Every single conversation they had was always about him him him! 'Who would have thought there could be someone even more egotistical then Darien Shields?' Serena thought to herself.
Sure she was starving but she decided to get something to eat at home, another minute with Mr. Macho and she would probably go insane.
Diamond finally gave up and drove Serena home. Once she got there she said goodbye to him and walked to up to her door. Unknown to Serena she was followed.
Serena tried to open the door to her house but found out that she forgot the key inside her other purse. Not only was that bad but her parents were out on a date! She didn't think that things could get any worse until it started to rain. That's when she spotted Darien sitting in his car intently watching her.
She walked over to his car opened the passenger door casually and stepped inside.
"Are you here to watch me make a fool out of myself?" She asked him.
He only smiled. "Why whatever do you mean?"
"You know…stalking is illegal!"
"I wasn't stalking…I was merely being your guardian…you never know if Diamond was or was not going to pull something on you."
Serena rolled her eyes. "Wait a minute so you were following me all this time? What about your little girlfriend Trina?" Serena smirked smugly.
"Well…I kind of told her to go home after the movies."
"Tisk, tisk, tisk, Darien…you are very bad! You're not supposed to ditch a girl like that! I'm surprised she let it go that easily!"
"First off…she's not my girlfriend, and secondly I went out with her against my will!"
"You can't say that! I was there the whole time watching her make her moves on you. You didn't turn her down so how can you say it was against your own volition huh huh?"
Darien didn't want to tell Serena that he was merely trying to make her jealous. He decided not to for it will be a major blow to his pride. Not to mention she would probably laugh her head off at him. So instead he decided to change the subject.
"So I see that your parents are not home tonight…and it looks like you can't get into your own house!"
Serena glared at him. "That's none of your business!"
"Excuse me? Your the one that marched into my car!"
"I…I…oh forget it." Serena's stomach grumbled and she looked up miserably. "Is the whole world against me or something!"
"No"
"Huh? How would you know Darien?"
"Because, you're not that special for the whole world to be against you! Anyways…do you want to go get dinner or something? Come on think of it as a second date…except with a better looking guy."
"Still a narcissus aren't you Darien?"
"Hey do you want to go or not?"
"Fine! I'll go."
~*~*~*~*~*~
After a while of driving the two finally arrived at a nice restaurant near the ocean. It was beautiful. Inside there were big fancy chandeliers and the atmosphere itself made you relaxed and comfortable. It was a very romantic atmosphere. Serena wished she could go here one day with a person she was in love with. But for now Darien would just have to do.
They sat down, ordered their food and when it finally came ate eagerly. Darien paid the bill and Serena thanked him.
"Darien?"
"Huh?"
"Can we go sit at the beach?"
"Uh…"
"I don't want to go home yet."
"O…kay."
"Thanks again."
Serena took off her high heels and so she can feel the soft sand underneath her feet. The rain passed leaving the sky filled with remarkably beautiful stars. There was a full moon out which shone upon the ocean and made it glisten in the moonlight. Serena smiled and sat down intently taking in a deep breath. She felt like she finally lived for the first time.
------------------------------
Under a lovers' sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well just wait until
Till the sun goes down
------------------------------
"Serena?" Darien stared at her in awe. He never saw her so peaceful before. He didn't want to admit it to himself but he was actually enjoying the time he spent with her.
"Darien…"
"Huh?"
She turned around to face him. In the moonlight her she looked even more beautiful. Her hands slowly made there way onto her head and she took down her trademark meatballs revealing soft blonde hair that swayed in the wind. She shook her head to get her hair out of her face.
Darien's jaw dropped. She looked so much like a goddess. And the moon had a great affect on her. Her features were more graceful and her hair looked like it was silver, oddly enough it matched her quite well.
"Darien what I'm trying to say it…I don't hate you. In fact I've never hated you or disliked you. I know I may act that way sometimes but I never mean what I say. And it isn't in my nature to hold grudges." She gave him a genuine smile.
--------------------------------
Underneath the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
It'll steal your heart tonight
--------------------------------
"I'm glad…I don't think I could live with myself if you hated me."
"Really why is that?"
"Having such a beautiful girl hate you isn't a good thing."
"Excuse me?" Serena's eyebrow rose. "I thought you always said that I was ugly, and that you hated my hairstyle, and that I'm an annoying little naïve brat who will never mature!"
"You know I didn't mean it! The truth is…your beautiful, and you've matured a lot over the years. Serena you proved me wrong…I was very wrong!"
Serena cocked her head to the side and grinned smugly. "I know you were wrong."
"I knew you knew I was wrong." Darien replied.
"Oh really?"
"Really"
"Oh really?"
"Really"
"Oh rea-" Serena was cut off when she felt Darien's lips upon her own.
----------------------------------
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart
-----------------------------------
Serena pushed Darien away. Her delicate fingers traced her lips where Darien's lips met hers. She looked away from him. "Why…why did you do that."
"I…I don't know…I guess I've always wanted to do that…ever since you came to this school."
"Darien…it's not going to work out between us."
"How do you know that? If you don't give it a try you'll never know."
"Serena look me in the eye and tell me you don't feel anything at all for me."
Serena looked at him with despair "I don't want a relationship Darien…not after what happened."
"What do you mean? What happened?"
Tears began to spill from her eyes. "You really want to know Darien?"
"Yes. I do…Serena maybe I can help you…just tell me…trust me please."
"It all happened last year…I was one of the most popular girls in school and Jason was the most popular guy. Everyone insisted that we go out together. It was only fit. And so I did just for the hell of it. One date led to another and pretty soon we were known as the cutest couple in school. Funny thing is the on the night of the school dance I saw him outside the gym making out with some new exchange student. I broke it off with him that same night. I really never went steady afterwards but instead dated casually and focused most of my time with school and friends."
"Serena not all guys are like that you know?"
"I know…"
"You still haven't answered my question yet…do you feel anything at all for me?"
--------------------------
There's no escape from love
Was a gentle breeze
Weaves its spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long
Till you're in my arms
Underneath the starlight - starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm - so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight
--------------------------
"Honestly…I think I do…but" Serena let out a heavy sigh. "Darien just give me sometime…I need to think about it."
"Don't worry Serena I can wait."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. I know it will be worth it."
Serena rewarded him with another smile and Darien felt him losing his hear to her every moment they spent together. He leaned forward and kissed her cheek.
"I'll take you back home…it's getting late." Darien knew he had to take her home. If he stayed there with her any longer he might push her too far, and he wouldn't want to do anything like that to her. He would never be able to forgive himself.
---------------------------
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No you can't fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you
----------------------------
They arrived at Serena's home to find her parents car in the driveway. Instead of going into her home immediately Serena just sat there. She turned to Darien.
"Darien…thank you for tonight." She threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly as if he were her last lifeline.
In turn Darien wrapped his arms around Serena never wanting to let go. He wanted to protect her from all the bad things out in the world like she was a mere child. He wanted badly to hurt Jason for hurting Serena, his Serena. That's when it hit him. He was in love with her.
'I'm in love with Serena Tsukino…I'm completely and utterly head over heels for her!'
--------------------------
Don't try then
You're never gonna win
Part of me the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
It will steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
------------------------------
Serena let go of Darien and waved at him before walking out of the car and into her home.
Darien sat there for a moment pondering over what had just happened tonight. He was slightly scared at what he was feeling. Sure he's had many girls in his life but his longest relationship only lasted for about two weeks. He didn't want Serena to end up like all those girls he went out with in the past. He didn't want to hurt her any more.
If anything Darien made a decision tonight. 'If she gives me a chance I'll change…I'll change for her.' And with that thought in mind Darien drove away back to his home.
-------------------------------
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
Don't you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart
-------------------------------

So what do you think? Personally I didn't want there relationship to go to fast but don't worry it won't go to fast because Serena still needs to figure out her feelings for Darien…anyways please review!
