Chapter Two: First Meeting
'What a day,' Serena thought, slightly irritated. After spending two hours packing, she rushed to the airport. Traffic was bad because it was around dinnertime and everyone was in a rush to get home. She finally reached the airport 45 minutes late. The luggage line was long and she almost missed her flight, but it was running late itself. She found her seat easily enough, but there was a child sitting behind her. One about the age of 8, you know, the age where they find kicking the back of your chair interesting. The woman sitting next to her had a baby which found the greatest pleasure in crying through the whole flight, except for the last 5 minutes when he finally fell asleep. Mina and Andrew, Mina's husband, picked her up in their limo, but they were incredible cheerful, which almost made her mood worse. Almost being the key word.
Serena sighed and pulled her head off the cold window. She pulled her blonde hair out of the bun she had been wearing it in. Her hair was long enough to reach the middle of her back, but it had been much longer when she was a child. She turned to look at Mina and Andrew. They were snuggled together looking out the window. Their quiet chatter wasn't loud enough for her to hear, but she could tell by the expressions on their faces that they were happy. Serena could feel the hole in her heart more than usual just by looking at them.
She sighed and looked back out the window just as the limo pulled up into the circular driveway. He childhood house was before her. A four wing, three story mansion was what she lived in for the first seventeen years of her life.
Serena climbed out, after grabbing her black backpack, just in time to see a taxi pulling into a driveway. Mina had whispered something about the taxi to Andrew and he smiled. Serena tilted her head in curiosity before pulling her hair back up in a tight bun. She then noticed the limo driver, who just happened to be new, starting carrying her bags into the house. She ran after the driver. "Excuse me! Kari...that is your name isn't it?" she asked, trying to pull her bags away from her. The sandy blonde driver nodded in conformation. "Well, don't worry about my bags, I can carry them myself. I hate being pampered."
"Yes, ma'am," Kari responded, handing the bags to Serena. Serena smiled as she took the heavy bags from the young driver.
"Sere," came Mina's voice from behind her.
"Huh?" Serena muttered, setting her bags down and whirling around. Mina, Andrew, and some guy she didn't know were walking up the steps. The guy was about 6'2, she guessed, had dark black hair, and ocean blue eyes. His body was slim and fit, too. 'What a cutie,' she thought, sheepishly. 'I wonder if her has a brain under that mop top of his.'
"I want you to meet Dr. Darien McKensy. And Dare, this is Dr. Serena Davidson, my cousin," Mina said, happily.
"It's a pleasure, Doctor," Darien replied, holding out his hand.
"Wow! I don't meet many people, who are alive anyway," Serena joked, shaking his hand which was incredible warm despite the cold weather. She smiled at him when he gave a small laugh. She turned back around and picked up her bags. She walked up to the door and turned to Mina with a pathetic look on her face. "Mina....unlock the door for me?"
"Of course, your majesty," Mina laughed, walking up to Serena. "Which packet?"
"Why don't you just knock?" Darien suggested.
"I lived here for 17 years of my life. I think knocking is beyond me," Serena stated, smiling softly. "Right side Meens, the bottom one." Mina reached into Serena bottom right pocket as Serena tried to hold the heavy suitcase far enough away for Mina to get into the pocket. Darien, seeing Serena struggling with the heavy, walked up to her and grabbed the handle, so he was carrying the weight. Serena at him in surprise as he took the bag out of her hand. "Thank you, Doctor."
"Found it!" Mina cheered, pulling the key out of Serena's pocket. Darien smiled at Serena before turning to hold open the newly opened door. Serena walked in after Mina only to be plowed over by an older woman.
"Serena dear! It's so good to see you!" Ilene beamed, squeezing her daughter enough to make her drop the suitcase in her hand.
"Mum......I love you and all," Serena squeaked, "but I can't breathe."
"Oh sorry, dear," Ilene laughed, releasing her death grip on her daughter. "Mina! Andrew! So good to see you again. And who is this adorable young man. Single I hope!"
"Ilene, leave the poor boy alone." Ken sighed, walking into the entrance foyer.
"My name is Darien, Darien McKensy, Mrs. Davidson," Darien replied, with a small smile.
"You all must be exhausted after your long flights. Serena be a dear and show everyone to their rooms," Ilene said, turning to Serena with a smile.
"Yes, mother," Serena sighed, picking up her suitcase. She started walking up the stairs and muttered, "You'd think my parents would've installed an elevator by now." She headed up another flight of stairs to the third floor foyer. She turned left into the west wing and opened the third door on the left. "Mina...Andrew....your usual bedroom," Serena replied. The room was cream colored and everything was decorated in Tiger Lilies. It reminded Darien of summer and Miami. A very homey and welcoming room.
"Thanks, Sere," Mina responded. "We'll see you at breakfast." Mina giggled and kissed Andrew playfully before closing the door.
"I swear, " Serena shook her head while turning to Darien, "she has been like that since we were children."
"Really, now?" Darien questioned. Serena nodded and began heading back the way they came from. "Your parent's house is really big. Do you think you could show me around tomorrow?"
"Sure, but you'll have to come and get me," Serena replied as Darien began to follow her.
"In that case, can I have a room somewhere near yours, so I can find you a bit easier?"
"Okay. I guess that would be fine," Serena responded. She wandered into the north wing and opened the last door on the left. The walls were white, but everything else was maroon. "Here you are, Doctor. My room is across the hall, if you need me, okay? Anything else?"
"Yeah," Darien said. "Could you call me Darien? When you call me Doctor, it makes me feel like I'm back at the hospital answering to one of my nurses."
"So you're a family doctor, eh? No problem," Serena smiled. "Enjoy the room and come and get me in the morning. A pre-warning though, if I don't answer my door I'm probably doing paperwork, so just walk right in, okay?"
"Okay," Darien smiled. "Thanks." He handed her her suitcase, which she took with little struggle, before smiling at her again and closing the door quietly. He leaned back against it as he dropped hi suitcase next to the door. He sighed as his mind drifted to the blonde across the hall. 'She's not just beautiful, but she actually has a brain,' Darien thought, pleasantly. 'Quiet and sweet and she hasn't tried to catch my attention yet like all the others. Maybe she's different.'
