Chapter 8 It Ends With A Kiss
"Serena." Darien spoke as he grabbed her hand pulling her to a stop. "Why are you running?"
She turned to look at him her eyes wet with tears. "I can't tell you that." Serena cried out pulling her hand away.
"Why not?" Darien challenged.
"Because it's not supposed to be." Serena whispered closing her eyes painfully and looking away. When she opened them again, she was surprised to find him close to her. Agonizingly close.
"Please move away." Serena begged.
"Do you hate me Sere?" Darien asked bemused.
"Goddess No!" Serena looked up at him. She instantly regretted her decision to do so as she was lost in his eyes.
"Then why do you keep running away from me?" Darien asked exasperated.
"I'm not!" Serena argued.
Darien rolled his eyes. "Yes you do! And I had just wanted to tell you…"
Serena swallowed.
He hugged her close trapping her incase she decides to bolt and whispered softly in her hair. "iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou."
Darien let go of her and waited for her reaction expectantly. She felt the tears flow from her eyes. Darien's hope sank to the ground. "She didn't love him back." He thought sadly. He caressed her cheek and wiped the tears with his thumb murmuring. "I'm sorry."
"Why?" Serena asked her voice trembling.
"Why do I love you?" Darien asked with a rueful smile. "Maybe because you're such an amazing person and I've loved you all my life…just this time, a bit different."
"No…" Serena croaked. "Why are you saying sorry?"
"Well I-" He was about to explain when Serena cut him off.
"I love you too." She whispered. Darien's face broke into a relieved smile. They slowly came closer towards each other and shared a long uninterrupted kiss.
A/n: If you think the ending is rushed…well it is rushed. I'm just glad that it's over. There might be an epilogue to tie up loose ends. And a summary of a new story I'm thinking of writing. Please review though the ending sucked... If you have any wish for the ending to end differently please tell me your ideas and I might do an alternate ending.
