A/N so many reviews how can I ever believe that you all love my story? Just joking I think that it is possible. But I still don't believe how many I have received. I know that I just made them kiss and all but can you wait to see what will happen next? Because I can't wait to type it! One more thing I changed the rating just in case!
Chapter 12- December 24, Christmas Eve-late Night (same place that last chapter left off)
The fire from the fireplace glowed brightly in the background as Darien and Serena pulled out of their first kiss. They looked into each other's eyes waiting to see if the other one was going to be angry. But they only smiled when they saw love reflecting in each other's eyes.
"Darien…" Serena whispered softly because her voice hurt.
"Shh… don't speak. Your voice must still be hurting and I don't want you to hurt your beautiful voice." Darien whispered into Serena ear.
Serena trembled when she felt Darien's warm breath on her skin. She wanted to speak, ask him why he had kissed her, but she remembered what Darien had said. 'Does he care about me that much?'
Darien was holding Serena close to him but Serena leaned forwards and grabbed the paper and pencil. Serena giggled inside when she heard Darien groan, 'What I can't help it if I don't have a voice.'
Serena: Hey first of all my voice isn't beautiful. Second if I can't speak then I must write. And to write I must use the table or else my handwriting will suck.
"Serena believe it or not but I am telling you that your voice is beautiful. And since when have you been the smart one?" Darien asked laughing.
Serena got this look that said 'how dare you on her face' before she attacked Darien. But Darien, being stronger, was able to get Serena on the floor and tickling her while she tried to fight back. All to no avail, Darien had a stupid grin on his face as he tickled Serena. Serena struggled and fought to get free but Darien pinned her hands to the sides.
"Serena I hope you know that I really like you," Darien said leaning down and giving Serena a long kiss never once letting go of Serena's hands. Serena stopped struggling when Darien begun to kiss her, instead she kissed him back.
After they where done they laid on the floor next to each other, in front of the fire. Darien lay behind Serena when his hand on her waist. (A/N hey I couldn't resist! It's not going to turn into something bad. Don't even think that I would do that! Plus why would I make them do that thing * hint hint * in someone else's house. Okay forget about all of this just don't think of me writing like that.)
Serena wanted to say something but her voice still hurt. She didn't really want to move but she didn't really have a choice. Grabbing the paper and pencil Serena lay next to Darien again but this time facing him.
Serena: Darien what are we going to do after the snow clears? I mean everyone knows that we are enemies, how are we going to explain to them especially my friends?
"Serena don't worry about it. They will understand once we explain our feeling for each other."
Serena: And what types of feeling are yours?
"Serena I have never really ever felt love from anyone since my parents died when I was only six," Serena gasped but Darien continued, "I don't really remember who I truly am. But Serena I know that I feel more for you then I have ever felt towards anyone."
"I'm sorry about your parents," Serena tried to say but it came out kind of hoarse.
Even though what Serena had said sounded hoarse Darien understood what she had said. "Serena don't feel sorry for me. I can't remember them but I know that they loved me. That is one thing that I do know. And I do hope what I am feeling for you is what I think they are."
Serena was touched by what Darien had said. 'I guess that Darien really does like me? How could we have ever been enemies?'
"Serena forgive me if I sound stupid but I do have feeling for you. I think that I have had feeling for you since the first time I met you."
"Me too." Serena said smiling.
"Then I guess we should be asking ourselves why we have fought all the time."
Serena: Well I guess we just decided to ignore our feeling. It happens you know.
"Yes Serena I know." Darien said and then realized that Serena was writing on the paper again. "Serena your voice is hurting isn't it? Don't use it if you don't need to."
Serena: But I want to talk you said that I have a beautiful voice. But I guess if I use my voice it won't sound so beautiful right now.
"Serena no matter what your voice is beautiful. I love to hear it but I just don't want you to use it if you are going to be hurt by using it."
"Oh so you really do care about me," Serena whispered softly.
"Of course I do." Darien said sitting up and laying back against one of the couches. Serena got up and sat next to him. Darien placed his arm around Serena's shoulders and Serena laid her head on his shoulder. They sat there for what seemed like hours before kissing once more and going to the couch they had slept on for the past few days. They both feel to sleep with the other on their mind. And for the first time in a long while did either of them sleep without horrible nightmares.
A/N okay be happy I wrote a lot. Hope that there aren't many mistakes. And again thanks for all the reviews and please review. By the way I am on Christmas Break, I am so happy!
