Chapter 16
The next morning, Serena woke at eight to find Darien gone. Kacy was in her room playing with a doll that Serena's mother, her grandmother, had given to her. As Serena entered the kitchen to fix herself some breakfast there was a knock at the door.
"I'm coming," said Serena as she opened the door.
There in the hall was Seiya dressed in a pair of jeans, a button up light blue shirt, and a pair of black boots. He looked excited. Serena stepped back and allowed Seiya to come in.
"You're early," said Serena as she closed the door.
"Well it's better to be early than late," said Seiya.
"Uncle Seiya," said Kacy as she ran out of her room.
"Hello, Kacy," he said picking her up. "So did you talk to Mina?"
"Oh no," said Serena, grabbing the phone and dialing a number. "Thank you for reminding me. Come on, Mina, pick up."
"Hello," said a voice.
"Hi may I please speak to Mina?" asked Serena.
"One second please," said the voice. "Hey, Mina. It's for you."
"Artemis, how many times do I have to tell you not to answer the phone," squawked Mina as she grabbed the receiver. "Hello."
"Hey, Mina. It's Serena," she said. "I just called to tell you that I can come."
"Oh hey, Serena," said Mina throwing a pillow at her white cat. "You can come? Cool, we'll meet you at the park then in an hour and a half."
"Okay," said Serena. "See ya then."
"Bye," said Mina as they both hung up the phone.
"Yeah," Serena said.
"Oh I have something for you," said Seiya as he pulled something out of his pocket. "I got this last night on my way home."
Seiya handed her a black leather wallet with a crescent moon on the front. "Oh, Seiya, it's beautiful," Serena said. "Thank you."
"Your welcome," he said. "You better get moving."
"Oh yeah," she said hurrying into the kitchen. "I just woke up, so I'm starving. Kacy, did Darien feed you?"
"Yes, mommy," she said with a smile as Serena poured herself some cereal. "Why is Uncle Seiya here?"
"Well, Uncle Seiya want's to spend more time with you so he suggested that mommy go shopping with her friends while he watches you," said Serena as she ate her breakfast. "Do you understand?"
"Um.yeah," said Kacy quickly.
"Good, girl," said Serena. "I'm going to take a shower, so if anyone calls for me just bring me the phone. Okay?"
"Okay," said Seiya.
Serena hurried into the bedroom and then into the bathroom. She closed the door, turned on the hot water in the shower, and began to brush out her hair. Once her hair was free of tangles, Serena undressed and climbed into the shower.
//This feels so wonderful. I wish I could stay here all day. // There came a gentle knocking on the door. //Someone called all ready, unless Seiya needs something. //
Serena stuck her head out of the shower and said, "Yes."
Seiya opened the door a little ways and said, "You have a visitor."
"Who is it?" she asked.
"It's Amy," he said. "She's here to pick you up."
"Seiya, would you come in here for just a second please?" Serena asked.
He quickly entered the bathroom and shut the door. "Yes?" he said.
"Where's Kacy?" asked Serena quietly.
"I put her down for a nap, she was quite tired," Seiya said.
"She must have been up earlier than I thought," said Serena. "Send Amy in and listen closely incase Kacy wakes up or something."
"Yes, ma'am," Seiya said exiting the bathroom. "You can go in there now."
"Thank you," said Amy as she entered the bathroom. "Serena?"
"Hey, Amy," said Serena as she washed her hair. "What are you doing here?"
"I thought I would go with you to the park," said Amy. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, Amy, fire away," said Serena.
"Why is Seiya here?" she asked.
"Oh, he agreed to watch my cousin while I go shopping," lied Serena.
"Why isn't your cousin with your parents?"
"Because I wanted to see what it would be like to have a kid under my watch. You know, pretend that you're a mother. That kind of thing."
"Oh, I see. So you asked Seiya to watch your cousin."
"No actually he was over here last night when Mina called and he over heard the conversation and suggested that he would watch her."
"How nice of him."
"Yeah that's what I thought." Serena turned off the water and pulled back the curtain. "That was quite refreshing."
"You could have asked me to leave," said Amy looking away from Serena's bare body. "I didn't mean to intrude."
"It's okay, Amy," said Serena as she wrapped her towel around them. "We're such good friends that I don't mind."
Amy did not say a word as she followed Serena into the bedroom. She sat on the bed and watched Serena as she moved about. As she watched Serena, she began to dream about Lita. Instead of seeing Serena getting dress she saw her love. Serena saw the look in Amy's eyes and smiled. The look was one she had only seen once. It was when Amy said good bye to Greg as he left for London.
"Amy," said Serena, seeing if Amy would say the name of the person she longed to be with.
"Yes," said Amy.
"Who are you thinking about?" asked Serena. "Are you thinking about a guy?"
Amy quickly blinked and realized she was fantasizing about Lita. Her cheeks turned a deep red color. "No one," she said looking at the floor.
"You know you can trust me," Serena said as she laid her towel on the bed. "I can keep a secret."
Amy looked up in surprise and caught sight of Serena's bare breasts. Her face went even redder. Serena had slipped on her underwear and bra before Amy would look at without going another shade darker.
"What's up with you, Amy?" asked Serena as she opened a drawer and pulled out a pair of low ride jeans. "I've never seen you this red before."
"It's nothing," lied Amy.
//Please forgive me, Lita. I looked at another woman's body. // Amy watched Serena as she slipped on a tank top that was skin tight and stopped several inches below the bottom of her breasts. Serena sat on the bed and slipped on a pair of black high heal boots that stopped a little past her ankle. After Amy helped Serena put her hair into buns, they were ready to go. As soon as Serena exited her bedroom, Kacy came running up to her.
"Hey, Kacy," said Serena picking her up. "When did you get up?"
"Just now," said Seiya as he grabbed a drink of water. "She wanted to see you."
"Where are you going?" asked Kacy.
"I'm going shopping with some friends," said Serena.
"Who is she?" the small child asked, pointing to Amy.
"This is a friend of mine," Serena said. "Her name is Amy."
"She's pretty," Kacy said.
"Why thank you," said Amy. "You're very cute too."
Kacy giggled as Serena set her down. "You be a good girl for Seiya," said Serena. "Maybe I'll bring you something from the mall."
"Yeah," said Kacy. "Dolly."
"Okay," said Serena as they left the apartment.
"Bye bye," said Kacy as the door closed.
"She's pretty cute," said Amy. "How old is she?"
"She's three," Serena said.
