The carriage drew nearer to the park, and the young couple sat comfortably in a relaxed embrace. As the carriage came to a stop, Darien climbed out. Serena gazed at him in all his masculine beauty as he stood there, hand outstretched. His deep blue eyes held something in them, but what? She placed her small hand into his, and he helped her down. He looped his arm through hers as he led her down the path. Serena smiled to herself, recognizing where they were headed. The faint smell of roses grew stronger with every step they took, and the air seemed to shimmer with romance. The stars overhead twinkled, and to Serena they seemed to laugh, as they knew what little surprise Darien had planned for her. She looked up at Darien's face as he led her towards the rose garden, and she blushed. He was so amazing, with his dark hair and sexy eyes, but Serena knew there was more to him, she could feel it.
"Close your eyes," Darien whispered gently into her ear, sending shivers down her spine. She did as she was told and Darien led her by the hand into the garden. "Look."
"Oh Darien!" Serena exclaimed. "This is amazing!" A table was set up in the very heart of the rose garden, and candles on the table cast a gentle warmth. To Serena it seemed that every rose had bloomed at the same time, almost as if specially for tonight. Two covered silver plates awaited them on the table, and Darien gently nudged Serena towards the set up. Darien pulled out Serena's chair for her, and he placed a soft butterfly kiss on her cheek as he pushed it closer towards the table. Taking his seat, Darien uncovered their meal. Serena smiled widely at Darien, he knew just what she liked. Their plates held delicious-looking spagetti and meatballs, and Darien poured Sprite into their crystal glasses. (Hey, neither one of them is 21, so what did you want me to give them???) Darien watched as Serena ate her food, and he felt a warm feeling at the bottom of his heart. Serena glanced up and found herself trapped in Darien's gaze. She blushed a soft pink and wiped the corner of her mouth with her napkin.
"Its beautiful tonight," Serena said, her heart suddenly overcome with an immense warmth.
"Yes it is," Darien replied, toying with his food. "But it wouldn't be half as pretty if you weren't here with me." Serena blushed again, and her heart grew light. She placed her hand on Darien's, and he looked up into her impossibly large blue eyes.
"There's no place I'd rather be right now," she said. Darien's face lit up with pure joy as she spoke those words. He placed a gentle kiss on her hand before picking up his fork and beginning to eat. Serena, following his example, ate her food happily.
"This is so good," she said after taking a sip of her drink. "Who made it?"
"I did," Darien replied.
"Oh wow, where did you learn to cook like that?" she asked. Darien's eyes seemed to grow sad for a moment before he pushed the feeling away.
"I worked in the kitchen at the orphanage when I was little," Darien said, his voice barely above a whisper. "After my parents died, it seemed like noone wanted me. I couldn't really remember them that well, but I knew that I would never find a family that would love me like they did. So I stayed at the orphanage until I was old enough to leave. I bought my apartment with the little money I had saved up over the years, and I started working at the television studio. It was the only place that would hire me, and even that was only because the manager knew the woman that ran the orphanage." Serena was shocked to tears as Darien told his story. She rose from her chair and came to Darien's side. Taking his face in her hands, she placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.
"I love you," she said, her heart so full of the emotion that she could no longer keep it to herself.
"I love you too, Serena," Darien said as he stood up and pulled Serena into his arms. "I always have. I..." he didn't get to finish as Serena placed a small finger to his lips.
"Just kiss me," she said as she inched her face closer to his. Their lips brushed softly, and he pulled her closer to him. The kiss grew passionate as their tongues grazed one another. Heat radiated from the two as if from the sun itself. As the kiss ended and Serena rested her head against Darien's chest, he smiled. His wish had finally come true; he finally had someone to love him. He placed a gentle kiss upon her forehead, and they stood there, wrapped in a loving embrace under the peaceful light of the full moon.
