Chapter 7
Ok see people have been complaining about my grammar, but I can't help it, it's how I talk/write but I'll try.
It was a bright sunny Saturday morning, Serena buried her head in a pillow even more because the sunlight was starting to wake her up and she stirred a bit but then went back to sleep. Darien stood in the bathroom shaving; his mind wandered to Serena as it had been doing lately, ever since Andrew's party.
'I wonder if she's up?'
Darien took his mind off Serena and continued to shave, but then stopped and opened his ears to the sound of Serena saying something or mumbling something, it was about scouts. Darien walked closer with his razor still in his hand to the bathroom closer to the bedroom; he wanted to stop shaving but had to meet a college friend to study at the library in an hour.
"Scouts, I can't." Serena mumbled
Darien continued to shave and hear Serena's talking in her sleep, the next thing that came out of Serena's mouth caught Darien of guard, so off guard her cut himself shaving really hard. What did she say you ask?
"No! *Long pause* I'm sorry! The moon princess! "Serena yelled
Darien looked at her in amazement
'MOON PRINCESS, HOW DOSE SHE KNOW ABOUT THE MOON PRINCESS?' Darien thought but then opened his ears to another comment,
"I can't, I don't trust Darien enough. Where hardly friends!" She yelled again
'We're friends!' Darien thought angrily, he finished shaving then changed out of his boxers and walked out of the apartment but not without slamming the door very hard when he left.
"Don't t do that!" Serena screamed as she shot out of the unfamiliar bed, she rubbed her temple then realized what had happened the previous day. (How she moved in)
"Darien?" Serena questioned when there was no reply she got up and went in the bathroom. She turned on the sink and put her hands under the cold but refreshing water then lifted it to her face continuously. When she was dressed with her teeth brushed and all she went in one of her bags and pulled out a communicator, almost immediately the scout's faces came up on 4 screens.
"Serena where have you been?" Lita questioned
"Hey scout meeting tomorrow, real important stuff." Serena said into the communicator.
"Why not today? I mean since it's so important…" Raye started
"TOMMORROW!" Serena snapped, after seeing the look on the girl's faces she apologized and said she hadn't been getting much sleep.
"Serena, so about yesterday… are you?" Lita asked
"I…" Serena started but was interrupted by Mina
"She can tell us tomorrow right Serena? I mean because you can take the test while you parents are out today right?" Mina said,
'Better liar than I thought… thank you Mina!' Serena thought
"Yeah…well got to go, bye!" She said as she closed to communicator.
'Oh man, I'm so dead, Raye's going to kill me!' Serena thought as she decided to walk over to her house to pick up some more things, her dad would be at work, her mom at the market because it's the day they get fresh fruit and Sammy would be out.
Meanwhile…
Darien took a seat next to the tall red head in a red tank top and long black skirt.
"Hey Katie." Darien said as he opened his book and started reading
"Hey, you seem down." The girl said. Darien looked up at her beautiful smile an automatically smiled.
"You can always make me smile Katie." Darien said as he continued his book, Katie took it away while Darien's eyes where still on it. He looked up confused into her deep blue eyes.
"I was wondering… want to go out tonight?" Katie asked
'What about Serena?' Darien asked himself
'Hey man she doesn't trust you enough to confide in you, she's just living at your apartment… nothing more!' Darien's inner voice answered
After an extremely long pause Darien finally opened his mouth,
"Like a date?" He questioned
"Well yeah." Katie said as she blushed then fluttered her eyelashes.
'Serena has way longer eyelashes than that… Stop Darien!' Darien thought again
Back With Serena…
Serena tiptoed upstairs and picked up her locket
'I won't be needing this but oh well.' She thought vaguely, she then tiptoed back downstairs and checked the answering machine. There was a message from Lita, Raye and Molly asking how come she hasn't been home the past two days. Serena deleted the messages then ran into the kitchen for a piece of chocolate cake she left there but when she found the fridge bare she slammed to door waking up Luna from the couch.
"Serena? Where have you been!" Luna screamed. Serena opened her mouth to speak but saw the front door knob started turning, she ran upstairs to her room. And climbed a tree down then ran back to Darien's apartment. When she got there she remembered she didn't have a key. She pounded on the door but no response so she sat down on the ground and fell asleep, She was woken up by something licking her face. Serena opened her eyes to a familiar black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead.
"Luna?" Serena said as she got up
"What are you doing here?!?!?" Luna cried
"I was worried sick!" She continued
"I'm visiting someone, she's real sick Luna." Serena lied but guess who should come out of the elevator after Serena spoke those words? You guessed it, Darien!
"Hey Meatball Head." He teased, Serena was taken back be this comment, he hadn't called her that since before she told him she was pregnant.
'Sure it's only been about 2 days since he's called me that but it just doesn't sound right.' She thought
"Locked out?" Darien asked
Serena nodded, totally ignoring Luna's stares and glares. Darien hadn't noticed the feline standing next to Serena, he opened the door and then went to the phone.
"Hey Katie? Yeah it's Darien. Yeah." Darien talked into the phone
'Who's Katie?' Serena asked herself but Darien brought her out of her trance from one of his rare chuckles
"Yeah, 7:00, ok bye." Darien said as he hung up the phone
"This Katie, she's a cousin or something right Darien?" Serena asked hopefully
"I have no family Serena. Katie's the girls I'm going out with tonight." Darien said
