How To Catch A Guy
Serena Style
Author's Notes:
Yepperz! You didn't see wrong ppl! I'm back
with an update in less than a week! 'How?' you may be
asking yourself, and truly, I do not know why I spit
this chapter out so fast. Just luck and good readers
I guess. :) Anyways.. I hope you enjoy this chapter
as much as you did the rest! And keep telling me what
you think about it. Not neccessarily what I should
make the characters do..b/c that's left up to my
imagination... (and I have such a lovely creative one)
::winks::
Standard Disclaimor: Yeah..
I do NOT own Sailor Moon or the characters (except
Ryan and Charlotte) but this story most DEFINATELY
came from me!
ReCaP:
"Charlotte, I've tried to be nice to you." I
changed to the nonchalant tone slightly tinged with
annoyance. "I really have tried. You have to quite
possibly be the biggest bitch in the world." I picked
up my purse and keys before turning back to her. "Darien
was my friend long before you visited, and he'll be my
friend long after you fade from our world. If you don't
like that, I suggest you get over it." with that I
glared hatefully at her and flipped open my cellphone
as I strolled over to the still slightly ajar door. A
ring was heard in the hall and I stopped dead in my tracks.
Hanging up the phone I pulled the door open the rest of the
way, making Seiya's tall form visible in the doorway.
"Serena-" he reached out to grasp my arms.
"Seiya, what are you doing here?" I felt the blood
drain from my face.
Chapter Nine
The Real Deal to Loneliness
(Silent Realization that dreams are for Idiots)
His sorrowful blue eyes bore into my own and I
felt an overwhelming urge to soothe his pain. So what
if I didn't love him, I still cared for him, even if it
was only friendship.
"Sere, I needed to talk to you, so I had my jet
take me to the airport just outside of town. Your
parents gave me the directions to here." his hands
hadn't left my upper arms and I still stared at him in
utter surprize and confusion.
"So you're Seiya?" Andrew was right behind me,
his hands hovering above my shoulders. I was snapped
from my trance-like state and looked up to Andrew for
help. He was smiling lop-sidedly, the smile many of my
ex's had learned to fear. Turning back to Seiya I
watched as the two sized the other.
"Yes." Seiya replied slowly, rather unsure
whether to continue or not. Andrew's comforting hands
rested on my shoulders and pulled me away from Seiya's
grasp.
"Would you like to come in?" he asked suddenly,
throwing me off-guard and catching Seiya in surprize.
He nodded still uneasy and entered anyway, taking a
seat in the recliner.
"Serena, why don't you go whip up some coffee,
while we chat for a little bit." I glared daggers
at Andrew but tossed my purse onto the table and went
into the kitchen. After finding the coffee grounds in
the refridgerator, I prepared the coffee quickly and
filled five mugs, figuring that Charlotte and Darien
would be staying as well.
When I re-entered the front room, Darien and Andrew
were lounging on the couch on opposite ends and Charlotte
had chosen a chair at the corner of the room. I carried
the tray out and set it on the coffee table, very much
aware of the eyes watching my every move.
Picking the open spot between Andrew and Darien,
I sqeezed in and picked up my mug.
"Serena, when are you coming home?" the question
from Seiya caused me to choke on my coffee and Andrew
softly patted my back, trying to calm my coughing fit.
"Maybe we should talk about that privately."
was my answer after I had cleared my throat. He looked
thoughtfully at the ground.
"Shouldn't Megan be moving in anyway?" I baited,
waiting for him to mention her. Ohwell, so I had to do it
first. I'm sure sooner or later he would have mentioned
her. Andrew and the dueling couple retreated to the kitchen
after I gave Andrew a withering look. Once they were gone
Seiya rose and came to sit beside me.
"Megan is nice enough, but Serena, you are my heart.
I cannot survive without you."
"Sure you can." I patted his shoulder as I used to.
"You've done it before, Seiya. I need to be here where my
life was, that I left before."
There was a long pause before his soft reply came.
"Will I still be allowed to visit you?"
I was slightly shocked at his question.
"Seiya, I can't live with you, because I don't love
you like you want me to. It doesn't mean that I cannot be
your friend. I just can't be your lover." I rested my
hand on his shoulder and he sighed before lifting his eyes
up to mine, a sad smile gracing his lips.
"I guess you can't blame me for trying. Serena,
it's Darien, isn't it?" My eyes widened and I opened my
mouth to deny it before realizing that this was Seiya
sitting infront of me, a person who had known me for most
of my life, my life-long friend, who most likely knew me
better than I knew myself.
"Yes," I dropped my chin to my chest. "it's him."
Tears collected in my eyes but I blinked them away as he
lifted my chin and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.
"Then make sure you get him."
There was nothing else for me to do but nod and
say "I will."
He rose to leave and I did as well, walking him to
the door. I grabbed my purse and hoped to leave without
Andrew knowing. Once the elevator doors closed, Seiya
turned to me and pulled me in for a passionate kiss.
The ding signalling the opening of the doors caused me
to pull back, shock widening my eyes. I scurried out of
the metal box and Seiya followed. He grasped onto my
wrist when we were outside, and I swung around to face him.
"What the hell was that?" But I didn't really need
to be told.
"It was the last kiss I'll ever get from you." were
his next words. My angry gaze softened at his quiet tone.
I hugged him gently and walked backward slowly.
"Good bye, Seiya." was all I said before I resumed
walking the proper way.
I didn't know where to go, so I wandered the city
until late where I found myself sitting in a restaurant's
top balcony, staring out into the sky where the swirling
balls of plasma danced in the deep blue silk sheets of the
unknown and unexplored above my head. My food was getting
cold, but I had no appetite anymore. I had turned off my
cell phone, so as to not be disturbed and now sat in silence
by myself. I signaled for the waiter and he took away the
gourmet dish I had merely picked at, before refilling my
wine glass. The chilly night air nipped at my exposed
flesh, giving rise to goosebumps, but I didn't mind.
So what if I was a little cold. It had been no comparison
to what I had been feeling the day I saw him with HER!
With that thought in mind, I downed the newly filled
glass and tossed a wad of money onto the table, leaving
a twenty for the tip, though that had been as much as
the bill. It was cheap when you went to a fancy restaurant
and ate by yourself.
After leaving the restaurant, I strolled through
the stores that were still open, buying a few things at
one or two shops that I recognised and window-shopping
in unfamiliar ones. When I returned back to Andrew's
apartment, Andrew had falled asleep on the couch, waiting.
Darien and Charlotte were nowhere to be seen and as I made
my way to my room, I caught site of the note on my door.
Serena,
We'll finish this at a later time. Don't think you're
getting away so easily next time.
The note was unsigned, but it was most definitely Andrew's
handwriting. He had used the same style for writing on
the menu boards at the cafe. I crumpled the note up
before entering my room. Laying in my bed was a fast
asleep Adonis, his back to me. I put my purse on the bedside
table and crept quietly from the room with my pajamas
tucked under my arm. I changed in the bathroom into a pair
of silk shorts and a pink silk tanktop with a lace robe to
top off the ensemble. I had decided to take Andrew's room.
After covering up Andrew and Darien I crawled under the
covers of Andrew's bed, which smelled of his cologne.
The morning light was not what woke me. It was the banging
and crashing followed by holloring that dragged me from
dreamland. I pulled my robe on and crawled out of the bed.
When I entered the front room I was in the middle of an one-
sided war of flying objects. Charlotte was the one tossing
the valuable art that Andrew had received from me on
Christmases and birthdays, and I became angrier and angrier
as the expensive gifts sailed passed me.
"ENOUGH!" I finally roared, causing an abrupt end
of the attack. Darien's dark head popped up from behind a
chair and Andrew's green eyes slowly peeked up from behind
the couch. Charlotte gazed at me with a glare that might
had caused a heart attack if I hadn't been mad enough. I
returned her hateful gaze with my own, matching hers and
adding a little to force her retreat.
"Serena, did we wake you?" Darien looked worried
and embarraced for a moment. I didn't answer and instead
turned to Andrew's cowering form.
"Just like me, huh?" I nodded my head in Charlotte's
general direction before sighing and marching around the room
picking up the mess. "Next time, Charlotte, I'd like you to
not throw the gifts I gave Andrew, and instead stage the
battles for Darien's apartment." I biting reprimanded her
as I returned the objects to their rightful places. She
merely nodded and continued to stare at the ground, I'm
assuming afraid to look me in the eyes.
"I'm sorry, Sere." Andrew and Darien had vacated
their shelter spots and Andrew had approached me.
"Yeah?" I continued to move about the room,
straightening up. After the room was sufficiently clean,
Charlotte had still not moved and Andrew and Darien had
still not spoken. "Don't worry Andy, I'll go looking for
an apartment today." with that said I disappeared into
the bathroom and locked the door before turning on the
shower, effectively putting a stop to any potential
arguements. When I emerged from the steam-filled
room I stopped by the kitchen for a drink, completely
unaware of the other presenses in the apartment. With my
towel wrapped tightly around my body I went off towards
my room and when I exited the kitchen Darien was leaning
against the door frame of my bedroom. I paused in front
of him, forgetting that only the soft fabric of the huge
cologne scented towel shielded my body from his eyes. He
looked away and moved to the side to allow me to enter my
room and I immediately took the opportunity. I closed the
door and quickly changed, but it opened before I had put
my shirt on and I spun around, my shirt clutched over my
chest.
"Serena-" Darien entered, and shut the door behind
him. I slid the shirt on when he tossed his jacket onto the
bed.
"What is it, Darien?" He looked intensely into my
eyes and my breath caught in my throat. Slowly, he walked
up to me and paused in his predatory stroll when we were
just barely touching. His head bent down slightly as his
fingers raised my chin to meet his perfect midnight blue
eyes. The look in his eyes took my breath away, such
passion and heat making my body betray my attitude.
"Do you remember when I saw you at the park balcony?"
his hot breath whispered his response to our close proximity.
I was lost in his eyes, in those magnificient blue orbs that
pulled me in and sent me into a state of topzy turviness
when up was down and down was up. My heart pounded in my
ears, pumping blood and adrenaline through my veins.
"Yes." I whispered, ours mouths lightly touching.
"And when we went swimming in that pond?" his lips
pressed gently against mine as his strong arms wrapped
themselves around my waist, crashing me roughly against
him, the heat we were giving off seeping through our
clothing. The temperature in the room escalated, sweat
beading on my temple. His gaze didn't waver until our
lips met again.
"Yes..I remember...that too." I got out amongst the
heated kisses. My mind drifted back and then a picture of
his perfect athletic body only donning a pair of Daffy Duck
boxers flashed in my mind. No longer did it seem cute or
laughable, but made my body ache for his touch. And then I
could wait no longer. I had to feel his skin, feel his
hard muscled body under my fingertips. I tugged at his
shirt when he deepend the kiss. My arms snaked up his chest
and pulled him closer once they settled around his neck.
"Serena-" he began to pull back, and I clamped my
mouth shut as a whimper threatened to escape.
"I'm sorry." I pushed away from him and flung myself
towards the balcony. "I didn't mean to-" My eyes were fastly
filling up with tears at what I had just done. I had kissed
Darien as if he was mine. As if he and I were a- a couple.
My head spun wildly and I grasped for the bed post. Darien
watched me cautiously, chest heaving from our kisses and
intimate embrace. I slammed my eyes closed and rested my
face in my hands as I found a seat on the soft mattress.
"Serena-"
"Why did you do it?" I asked softly, my head still
resting in my hands. I dared not look up at him, my eyes
were too full of tears and I was on the brink of crying.
"Do what?" My heart constricted painfully at his
confusion.
"Make me feel the way I do, and then slowly torture
me like this?" I painfully held in my sobs, preferring him
not to see the pain and sadness I was suffering from.
"Serena I-" The door opened with Andrew walking in.
"Lets go grab a bite-" he paused as he took in the
scene. "What are you doing here, Dare?" I blinked back my
tears and instead pretended to hold my forehead.
"I had a problem with the bathroom door. It got
stuck and I was lucky Darien stopped by to hear my pounding
on the door." I covered quickly, hoping Andrew would buy
my story and I could forget what had just taken place. The
memory of his kisses still lingered on my lips and I
unconciously licked them. Andrew nodded and clapped Darien
on the back with a large smile.
"You really are a life-safer." Darien merely
shrugged. "I feel like it's my fault you were trapped in the
bathroom. I forgot to tell you not to close it all the way.
The door gets stuck."
I managed a slight nod and turned to look out the
window at the sky. I would never tell a soul what had just
happened between Darien and I. No one would ever know....
My heart shattered into a million pieces and I was afraid I
wouldn't be able to piece it back together even with time.
And that's the end of Chapter 9 ppl! This chapter is a
little bit longer than the last one. Can you believe I actually
got this out not even a fully week after I finally posted chapter
8? It's a writing miracle for me eh? Thought so. Anywayz..
I think i left it off at a good place. Maybe it will take another
three weeks for me to get Chapter 10 out...but I promise I won't
drag this on forever. To get things straight...Andrew isn't in
love with Serena, but he is a best friend.. I have a guy friend
that I like do everything with...(my boyfriend and him clash
sometimes- b/c they both demand my time...and I have so little
with work and my writing and then the camps I have to go to
for my next year's journalism class...) Please enjoy my
frequent updates while they last. I just pray there will
be computers for my personal use when I'm gone to Journalism
camp..or I'll go crazy with hand cramps from writing out my
next few chapters. Maybe I'll just write while I'm in class...
but I hope it doesn't come to that.
Anywayz..you know the drill...
Read, review.. msg me if ya want!
oh..and here's a lil hint...
I LOVE E-MAILS FROM MY FANFIC READERS! IT MAKES ME FEEL SPECIAL!

drag this on forever. To get things straight...Andrew isn't in
love with Serena, but he is a best friend.. I have a guy friend
that I like do everything with...(my boyfriend and him clash
sometimes- b/c they both demand my time...and I have so little
with work and my writing and then the camps I have to go to
for my next year's journalism class...) Please enjoy my
frequent updates while they last. I just pray there will
be computers for my personal use when I'm gone to Journalism
camp..or I'll go crazy with hand cramps from writing out my
next few chapters. Maybe I'll just write while I'm in class...
but I hope it doesn't come to that.
Anywayz..you know the drill...
