Chapter 8:
" I'm glad we left that place when we did!" Darien said as we sped down the highway. " They were going to start the drinking games; and who would want to be around a bunch of drunk adults?"
" I thought you would be used to it by now, Dare. After all, that's what our parents consider a party. I'm actually quite surprised, and relieved, that you haven't joined them." I said, only half serious about the ' surprised' part.
Darien smiled at me; obviously amused by something. " What?" I asked when he hadn't said anything for two minutes.
" I'm just thinking about how much I missed you, Sere. It's been really lonely without someone to talk to."
" You have Raye." I reminded him. " And MICHELLE." I added without even bothering to hide my jealousy this time.
" You're jealous of her; but I still don't understand why. I never thought you'd come back to me; so when Michelle asked me out, I said yes. But Sere, she isn't you. I want YOU! I always have."
" Oh Darien, that is so sweet of you to say that. Maybe it's the fact that I want a fairy tale romance, but I believe you. Why else would Lita have mistaken me for Michelle?" I didn't hide my dislike for Lita either.
" You're jealous of Lita?" Darien asked. I could tell that he was finding this all too amusing. Well, it was in a way.
" I know! I'm going to be one of those girlfriends who gets jealous of any other attractive woman who even LOOKS at you the wrong way. I'm justified in that, aren't I? I mean, I almost lost you to Michelle! I'm allowed to be a little bit possessive." Gods! He could make me completely lose control of how I felt without even having to do anything. It was crazy. I was crazy for letting him do this to my fragile heart! But even though he made me crazy, he also made me feel like the girl I used to be; with some added facets to my personality.
" I would never care for another woman like I care for you, Sere."
" I trust you, Darien. I just don't trust those boyfriend-stealing airheads! I wish I could just tell them to keep their claws away from you, but with things the way they are..." I sighed. This arrangement really sucked!
" I was just wondering what would have happened if we had've met first, instead of our parents..." Darien said thoughtfully.
I had been wondering the same thing for a long time. If only things had been different. I remember telling Sammy that it is harder to meet the right person now because of all the divorced parents out there. There was one scenario that I had tried to explain to him. Now that I thought of it again, it occured to me just how much it resembled my relationship with Darien.
*FLASHBACK*
" Okay Sammy, picture this okay? You meet a really pretty girl at your school and it's apparent that she's ' the one.' Now, Mom has met someone at work and he is her new boyfriend. On the night that you choose to introduce your girlfriend to us, Mom has her date and his daughter over for dinner. That night, Mom is getting ready upstairs and you answer the door and find Mom's boyfriend and his daughter standing there. You're speechless, because your girlfriend had said she'd have to cancel your date...and here she is. As you try and process this information, Mom comes downstairs and introduces you to your future step-father and step-sister."
Sammy's eyes widened in shock. " That's WAY too complicated, Serena! But it'll never happen. It's just not possible."
I sighed. " It's possible. If people who go to the same school can end up as step-siblings, and trust me it's happened, then it's possible for my scenario to happen too."
*END FLASHBACK*
I had only been fourteen when I had said all that; and at the time I hadn't had any idea why I had come up with that idea. But I know why I did now. It was my subconcious mind telling me that I had a problem finding my soulmate because my father had found his mother before I found him.
" I don't know. Maybe you would have brought me to meet your mom and Raye. But the unexpected twist would be the same end result. Either your mom would already have my father over for dinner that night or they would find each other through us one day."
" That would be interesting. I could just see it. Like one of those Greek tragedies or something. Cut scene to my house. We walk into the livingroom, holding hands. I'd say, ' Mother, I would like you to meet my new girlfriend Serena.' You'd say, ' Hello, nice to meet you.' Then Mom would surprise us both. ' Oh how nice of you to bring her here to meet us, Darien. I have a date here also, wait till you meet him. He's in the kitchen mixing me a drink. Ken! Come out here and meet my son and his new girlfriend.' Now the plot thickens and you become uncomfortable and pray that you're wrong; because your estranged father's name is Ken. You hold your breath and when you see Ken, you gasp, ' DAD?' Oh how uncomfortable this dinner will be!" Darien dramatized for me. I had to laugh.
"Yeah, that would have been funny. Now, how about we meet now instead. Our parents have never met beforehand. Same scenario, only you and I have slept together. In fact, we have our own apartments. Now, your mother has met somebody too, whom we haven't met. I never introduced you to my father. We come to your mom's place and I meet her and Raye and ' Dad?' I gasp. At dinner, our parents get pissed drunk. Dad says to your mom, ' Isn't it funny how we're sleeping together and our eldest children are too? It's funny...' and then we leave, embarassed about our parents' behaviour and vow never to speak of this again. Then we disown them so we can still be together without the whispers and stares from others." I suggested, barely able to stop laughing.
" So either way, we're doomed like Romeo and Juliet." Darien sighed.
" No, Romeo and Juliet were star-crossed lovers with parents that HATED each other. We're star-crossed lovers with parents who like fucking each other." I clarified. Darien and I were still laughing about that as we pulled into the driveway.
