A/N Thanks for all the reviews! Sorry that I can't update often, school and now exams going on are stopping me from writing as often as I want to.

Chapter 10- December 24, Christmas Eve Morning

Serena woke up and instead of waking up and finding Darien up already and ready to tease her for waking up late she found Darien sleeping on the couch still. A small smile spread across Serena's face. Pay back would be sweet when Darien decided to wake up. Serena sat up on the couch sore all over. 'Why am I sore? Wait it's from the cold yesterday. Wait a minute I'm not sick anymore. Well that must not have been that bad of a cold. But I don't remember anything that happened yesterday afternoon and night.'

Before Serena could think farther about what happened yesterday, she heard Darien move around on the couch. After a few moments Darien opened his blue eyes.

"…" Serena couldn't from any words. She wanted to tease Darien but was unable to find her voice.

Darien looked at Serena, concerned at why she moved her mouth but only none sense sounds coming out. "Serena what's wrong?" Darien asked sitting up and waking up fully in a matter of seconds.

Serena shrug her shoulders indicating that she didn't know.

"Can you speak?"

Serena shook her head no.

"Does your throat hurt?"

Serena shook her head yes.

"I think this is an after effect from the fever you had yesterday." Serena gave Darien a look like she didn't know what he was talking about. "Serena you are trying to tell me something?"

Serena nodded.

"I'll go get a piece of paper so that you can write on."

'Why is Darien being nice to me? I know it's not about the truce. Wait is he worried about me???'

"Oh Serena are you okay?" Mrs. Moore asked stepping into the room closely followed by Darien, who held some paper and a pencil.

Darien handed the paper and pencil to Serena who wrote (A/N hey for what she is writing I am going to represented it using bold letters but if that doesn't show up because some things don't show up as you write it just look for Serena name and the sign the comes right after I close this authors note.): I'm okay but I don't remember having a fever or anything after talking with Darien.

"That's weird but it happens at times. It is the fever that cause you to lose your voice but you should have it back it no time." Mrs. Moore said giving Serena a hug. "Hey I've got to get Christmas Eve dinner ready."

Serena: Okay

After she left the room Darien asked, "So what did you want to tell me?"

Serena: I was just going to say that I don't remember the fever. Did I say anything while I had the fever?

Darien debated if he should tell Serena or not but decided on something simple. "You mumbled a lot but it was mostly nonsense."

Serena: Mostly nonsense?

"Yeah there was some clear that you said but it was only every other word so very hard to decipher."

Serena nodded her head. Then wrote: Oh yeah one more thing, you are the sleepy head this morning!

"Hey that's no fair! I stayed up last night to make sure that your fever didn't get any worse." Darien said in a somewhat mad voice but he could barely keep a laugh in.

'He stayed up for me?'  Serena: You didn't have to.

"But I wanted to Serena." Darien said looking Serena directly in the eyes.

Serena's heart rate increased. 'What is this? Am I starting to have feeling for Darien? But we are enemies, at the last time I checked, even with the truce up. But how can I have feeling for him?'

A/N hope you like! Please review; I hope it was long enough for all of you. I am hoping to get this done before Christmas but there is no guarantees. Two more days for final exams then Christmas break, I can't be any happier. Except if the exams wouldn't happen then I could be happier.
