Chapter 2- The date?
"Mina, get me Seiya on the phone now!" Serena barked into the intercom.
"Umm, sure Serena, what happened? I thought for sure you and the hottie would've hit it off. Isn't he dreamy?" Mina cheerfully chipped in.
"Mina, I'm not in the mood for this. Look, I don't mean to be a bitch, but I don't want to gossip right now, just get me Seiya." Serena said.
"Right away, boss." Mina's voice lost some of its bounce.
"Seiya's on line 2." Mina said.
"Thanks, Mina." Serena said.
"Seiya? Hello, how are you?" Serena said.
"I'm fine, darling. What's going on?" Seiya asked.
"How do you know something's going on, darling?" Serena asked laughingly.
"I know you. Well?" Seiya asked.
"Alright, I need you to pretend to be my boy toy tonight." Serena revealed.
"WHAT?....." Seiya gasped and after a few moments of silence, "...who are you trying to impress?"
"Well, a guy. Look, Seiya, we've been friends for a long time and I love you like a brother. The fact that you're gay makes it so that there are no complications ever. By the way, say hi to Brad for me. I can't ask any of the guys I know because they'll either get attached or offended. I know you love a good scene, so please darling, do this for me. I'll take you and Brad shopping." Serena cajoled.
Laughter came down the telephone lines and Serena smiled smugly, "I've got him now."
"Alright, sweetie, I'll do it. But I'm holding you to that shopping spree!" Seiya said.
"Oh, I love you, darling. You're my bestest best friend!" Serena shrieked.
"Right...I know better than that. Anyway, who's the guy? Where's the location? When do I need to be there?" Seiya asked.
"Darien Shields, my apartment, and 7:30PM. Dress to kill. Thanks, darling, I've got to go. I've got a meeting with Armani Xchange today. Thanks again, I'll see you at 7:30" Serena said quickly.
"Oh, Darien Shields. Now I understand. Okay, see you at 7:30." Seiya agreed.
Serena sat back in her chair and closed her eyes. A little smirk graced her lips and an immense feeling of satisfaction and anticipation filled her.
"Mina, please cancel all my meetings after Armani, I'm taking the rest of the day off." Serena said.
"Sure, no problem. There's nothing urgent, anyway. I'll just send the representatives from Armani in now." Mina said.
"And Mina...", Serena said.
"Yeah?" Mina replied.
"Sorry about being a bitch earlier. You're one of my best friends and I shouldn't have talked to you that way... Darien Shields just got on my nerves. Forgive me? Please?" Serena begged.
"Of course, sweetie. I knew you were rattled. I'm sending them in now." Mina replied.
A woman and a man dressed in armani suits, of course, red and black, entered Serena's office. "Darling, Serena, it's been such a long time." The woman exclaimed.
Serena, of course, had only met them once in a business cocktail, but she knew what she had to do. "Good to see you, darling. How's business been?" Serena said as they exchanged cheek kisses. The fashion business is intriguing in that it's the most intimate business and at the same time the most impersonal business. Everyone knew everyone, but few had loyalties outside of the profit line.
After the meeting, Serena made a few phone calls. She booked a facial, a swedish massage, manicure, pedicure, and a hair styling at her favorite spa. She was determined to kick Darien Shield's butt!
At 7PM, Serena was finally done with her preparations and she looked and felt like a million bucks. Serena choose to wear a white satin backless, halter dress, very reminiscent of the infamous Marilyn Manroe dress. Her hair is down, cascading like a waterfall of gold and silver. But it was her expression, a combination of sensual anticipation and killer confidence that made her radiant.
At 7:30PM, Sieya arrived at her door and when Serena opened the door to greet him, Sieya whistled and said, "Sweetheart, if I weren't gay, you'd be on the floor, flat on your back right now."
"Thank you, Sieya. You're so sweet. Now, we have to get ready for Darien..." Serena said.
8:00PM
The door bell sounded and Serena nonchalantly walked to the door. She had been planning Darien's demise with Sieya for the last half hour over a glass of wine. She stopped at the door and hastily messed up her hair and smudged her makeup in front of the mirror. Then she opened the door up just a crack and managed to look startled at Darien's appearance.
"Oh! Hi, I almost forgot you were coming...", Serena said.
Darien's smile grow wider at the blond's sultry beauty and said, "You can't fool me, no one dresses like that to stay in."
"Well, you see, I wasn't staying in either." Serena said. At that moment, Sieya came up from behind Serena and wrapped his arms around her.
"Darling, who is this?" Sieya asked.
"Oh, just one of my admirers sweetie." Serena said.
Darien's smile disappeared and a intense and dangerous spark grew in his eyes, "And who are you?" He asked.
"I'm sorry, I'm Sieya, Serena's favorite lover." Seiya said.
Serena giggled and turned her face towards Sieya for a kiss. "Of course you are darling." She said.
"As you can see Darien, I'm a little busy right now. I told you this afternoon I didn't need you to tell me anything about sex and perhaps you understand me better now?"
Darien's hands are now clenched tightly and his face was like a marble mask as he watched Serena frolick with her favorite lover, which implied of course that there were many. (A very handsome one, I might add.)
"Perhaps, you would like to join the ranks?" Sieya asked.
"Ranks?" Darien asked puzzled.
"Serena's lovers. I know she sleeps with other men, she's gorgeous and sexy. She oozes sex. I expect her to have other men. There's no jealousy among us, just fun and sex. Right, darling?" Sieya said.
"Of course, I wouldn't ever go out with someone who's jealouse all the time." Serena said quietly.
Darien was very tense at this point. But then slowly, with visible effort, he relaxed. "Serena, my love, you have no clue what sex can be like. It certainly shouldn't be empty and meaningless, which I am sure it is with Sieya here or whoever your lover is for the night. When you're ready to find out what men really want, let me know." He said as he turned to leave.
"You jerk! You don't know anything. Don't hold your breath waiting for me, I don't want to be responsible for anyone's death." Serena yelled.
Deep, sexy laughter floated up from the stairwell, "Just wait, darling. You'll come to me. I know you." Darien taunted.
Serena fumed silently besides Sieya, who had a thoughtful smirk on his handsome face. "Round 1 to Darien, darling." He said quietly. "I'll call you about my shopping spree." Then he quietly left the apartment.
Serena was left to herself, all alone, feeling confused and dejected, when she should have felt triumphant. She was furious with Darien for not taking the bite and she hated herself for letting him affect her. "You just wait, Darien Shields. I'm going to prove to you that you don't know me and I don't need you." Serena said to herself with determination.
