Serena & Stanton: Forbidden Love
Chapter Fifteen
Complications
By: ~bLaCk RoSe~
~*~
Serena's face heated with anger as she backed away and bumped into a couple. "Whoa watch it," the guy said in a friendly manner. Serena smiled weakly and continued pushing through the crowd not knowing in which direction she was going. She looked back to see Stanton following her smoothly. He moved so graceful yet quickly and dangerous like a snake, a snake that was a threat to the daughters of the moon.
"Serena wait," he said behind her and gently tugged at her arm. She turned and glared at him, disgusted with him and herself. How could she have such feelings for one of her enemies? He was her enemy and couldn't be trusted, right?
"What do you want?" Serena asked, glad that her voice was unaffected by her feelings and sounded strong and confident.
"Before you get all mad let me explain," he said calmly. She looked into his honest, piercing blue eyes, but broke away.
"And just what exactly is there to explain? I saw you with my own two eyes and I sure did see you kiss that, that-" she paused not wanting to use such fowl language.
"Be rational Serena," Stanton sighed and pulled her closer, but she pushed him away angrily, remembering what she'd witnessed moments ago.
"Rational?" Serena snapped.
"Look there's nothing between me and Yvonne," he confessed. She saw the honesty in his eyes, but couldn't accept his confession.
"Yvonne? That's her name?" Serena asked in disbelief. Her muscles became tense and her hand formed tight fists that wanted to grip a bat and swing as hard as she could, shattering glass into millions of pieces.
"You know I don't like her. If it's anyone I like it's you, Serena," he said, his voice a pleading whisper. He drew her closer to him into an innocent embrace causing the chaotic event from just moments ago to fade away… (A/n: remember that Stanton can manipulate ppl's minds, but don't think he's evil by doing this to her, he's only easing away her doubt and letting her true feelings surface)
"Stanton, please don't," she begged as he pulled her against him. She didn't want to fall for a guy, who she couldn't have, a guy that was meant to be hated by her and not loved by her. Her enemy, yet her lover.
"Serena," he whispered her name as if enjoying the way her name rolled off his tongue in a lazy and sexy manner. She reluctantly looked into his icy blue eyes warmed by the undeniable feeling of love. She was numb at the core... she couldn't do this. Yes you can. He whispered into her mind in a soothing sensation, easing her reluctance away. She bit her lower lip, a habit of hers and clicked the barbell that pierced her tongue against her teeth. How could she feel this way towards someone? How could this be happening?
"Stanton you know we shouldn't be doing this, it's wrong and…" she sighed wishing this were all some sort of awkward dream she'd soon awake from, but it wasn't and she knew this was as real as the feelings she felt towards him. The love she felt towards him was like a flame burning inside of her and only he could control it. "It's just wrong," she said shaking her head, knowing that their kind of relationship would never be accepted.
"I love you, Serena," he whispered, a whisper that she heard clearly although the music was still loud. She fought back tears and smiled.
"I love you," she confessed as he brought her ever so close and tilted her head up towards his. Soon his lips met hers and she only felt a single thing, love. His lips parted hers and his tongue entered her mouth exploring and tasting. But that one intimate moment was shattered suddenly.
"Serena?" Serena abruptly pulled away and out of Stanton's arms. She knew exactly whose voice that belonged to and dreaded the thought of having to explain such a complicated situation to her best friend (hint::hint).
"I can explain," Serena said as she turned, the blood draining from her head and a sudden wave of nausea washed over her as she desperately thought of a good explanation.
