Chapter 4: The Play Begins
"That was a really good movie," Serena stated, gripping Darien's warm hand in her cold one. She smiled at him as he shivered from the sudden chill.
"It was. You know the part where they ride out into the river to get away from the black riders and the elven girl is staring at them?" Darien asked, looking at her from the corner of his eyes. Serena nodded, causing some tendrils of hair to fall out of her tight bun. "Do you know what she was really looking at?"
"Nope," Serena replied simply. When the movie had finished, they had left and started to walk toward the coffee shop. They saw "The Lord of the Rings" and they both loved it. (A.N. A hint....I haven't seen the movie, but the information here is true) They had a good time together, even though it was only for show.
"A golf ball," Darien smirked.
"Really?" she asked, looking at him seriously. He nodded. "A golf ball?" Nod. "As in a golf ball, golf ball?" Another nod. "I would have died laughing if it were me."
They walked in silence, until they reached the coffee shop. Darien opened the door and held it open for Serena who muttered a 'thank you' as she walked inside. They walked up to the counter and waited to be served in silence. A young woman approached the counter. "May I help you?"
"Hot chocolate," they said in unison. Both turned to look at the other in surprise. Serena smiled at Darien who smiled back.
"It's too late for coffee," Serena said in awe, smiling.
"Extra chocolate?" Darien asked, nodding. She nodded also and he told the woman behind the counter. They received their drinks and found a table for two.
"So, besides liking the same kind of drink as me, what else is there to know about you?" Darien inquired and Serena just shrugged. "Well, for starters, what kind of doctor are you?"
"Scientist, actually," Serena said, absently staring out the window. "I'm a CSI slash medical examiner. I examine bodies that are believed to be linked to crimes and provide autopsies. I also examine crime scenes, sometimes."
"I congratulate you," Darien mumbled, causing Serena to look at him surprised. "I mean, you have a depressing job that nobody wants, but it is incredible important to our judicial society.
"Thanks," Serena mumbled. "Nobody's ever said it that way to me."
"So, what else is there to know?" Darien asked, after a few minutes of silence.
"There really isn't much to know," Serena muttered. "I grew up here, got an early ticket to Penn. State College, got my degree as a forensics scientist, and now I work in Philly as a CSI."
"Oh, come on," Darien smirked, taking a sip of hot chocolate. "You know there's more. Like, how did you get your first kiss?"
"First kiss?" Serena questioned, looking at him to see if he was serious. He was. "Okay, well, if you must know, I'm highly idealistic. My first kiss was at my junior prom. There was this senior named Alex. You know, the captain of the football team and most popular guy in school kinda guy. He was there with a junior named Stacey, a cheerleader. Nobody had asked me to dance the entire night, me being a brain and all, so I was getting ready to leave. Alex noticed me and asked me to dance right before I left. we danced and I told I had to get home, so he walked me. Right before I went inside, he kissed me goodnight and after that night he never even looked at me again. But, it was all worth it."
"Why's that?" Darien asked, pulling Serena out of her little reverie.
"Because it proved something. It proved to me that even stupid dreams such as high school crushes can come true, even if it was for only one night," Serena sighed. She turned very wistful in the last few minutes, but she needed to get her head out of the clouds, so she straightened up as she grew serious. "We really shouldn't be discussing ourselves. We should be thinking of a way to get out of Mina and my mother's love trap."
"In order to prove that we're 'dating', we have to talk like we know each other, don't we? I mean as a way to seem more natural?" Darien questioned.
"Yeah....I suppose I see your point. Okay, then, it's my turn. When was your first kiss?"
"When I was fifteen. I went to the senior prom with some girl named Marisa. She thought I was a cute freshman, or that's what she told me. She told me that I deserved better and kissed me before she ran off with her ex- boyfriend at the beginning of the night. What a way to boost my self- esteem, huh?" Darien replied, sighing.
"What happened after that?" Serena asked, turning to look at him.
"Let's just say that I haven't trusted a girl since and I guess that's why I don't date. What about you? why don't you date?"
"I'm too idealistic I guess. I think that when I find the right one, I'll know it. So, where did you grow up?"
"New Hampshire. Small town in the northern part. I worked my butt off to get out of there ASAP. How do you actually plan on escaping Mina? I'm really curious as to how you're going to do it."
"Since we have the gift of not living close to one another, we'll set a day to 'break up' and do it on that day. We won't actually break up, but Mina and my mother will think we did. Then, they'll never do it again because they will feel guilty for setting us up in the first place!" Serena beamed. She smiled brightly at Darien, knowing her plan would work. "The best thing about it though is that I made a great new friend."
"Thanks," Darien blushed. "You're really sweet, you know that?"
"Thanks," Serena blushed also. She looked at her watch before standing up. "I think we should be getting home. We don't want my mom thinking all those thoughts she thinks." Darien laughed as he opened the door for Serena to step out.
