Chapter 7: Birthday Bash/ Going out
Serena POV
Shopping for men is so irritating. I mean what do you get them? I sighed as I sat down on a bench at the mall. I was getting nowhere fast. Knives didn't like to golf, so that was out. Sports weren't really his thing. He did like to play basketball in his spare time, but what would I get him? A new ball? Pathetic.
Why couldn't Vash tell me that their birthday was in 5 weeks. I have two days to find something for both of them. "I can't even find something for one guy, let alone two." I decided to go walking around again. A few minutes later I came across a book store, so I decided to take a look around.
There were some interesting books, but nothing that Knives would like. "Wait a minute." I blurted out as I spoted a perticular book of interest. 'The Mistery of the Unicorn: The battle continues'. That is the sequel to 'The Mistery of the Unicorn'. Knives had that book. I quickly grabed the book and took it to the register. After buying it I sought out something for Vash.
About an hour later I gave up and decided to consult Meryl. She would know Vash enough to konw what to get him. After I settled that, I headed back to the hotel. I opened the door and headed inside. I did not expect to find Knives waiting for me.
"Hey Serena." Knives said.
"What are you doing home early!?" I say as I hide the bag from his view.
"What, I'm not aloud to take some time off?" Knives asked with mock hurt.
"No...I mean yes you're aloud to take time off, I just didn't expect you to be home early." I say as I sneak the book into one of my pockets. I quickly move to the bathroom as if the item I got was shampoo or something.
"Don't tell me you got more shampoo." Knives says as he stares at me with a strange look.
"You can never have enough shampoo." I say as I enter the bathroom. I shift around as if I am putting something away so he doesn't get suspicious.
"Women." Knives says with irritation.
I roll my eyes as I walk back into the main room. "Men." I state firmly.
I turn around to see that Knives is glaring at me. "Do you always have to have the last word?" he questions.
"Hm? Let me think." I say as I head into the kitchen. "Yes."
I quickly find myself against the wall, a pair of blue eyes staring at me. "You are really starting to get irritating." Knives says.
"What? Can't handle a little attitude?" I ask as a grin plays at my lips.
"I think you need to be taught a lesson." Knives says as he leans down to kiss me.
Quickly I slip out of his grasp and move out of his reach. "I hate to disappoint you, but there were no lessons scheduled for today. You can schedule one for next week though." I say as my grin widens.
"And just what do you have scheduled for the rest of this week?" Knives asks as he frowns.
"I have plans with this guy." I say as I turn to start dinner.
"Oh?" Knives asks. I can tell his voice is shaking. I fight to hold back my giggles.
"Yeah. He is this really wonderful guy. Amazing really. He's sweet, and kind, and knows how to keep promises. He even traveled to another state with me." I say. I can hear him sigh a little.
"I see. You must really like this guy." Knives says as he comes over and wraps his arms around me.
"He protected me, and even ranaway with me so we wouldn't have to be split apart. I think it is safe to say I'm maddingly in love with him." I say as I lean my head back against his chest.
"Is that so?" Knives says as he pulls me closer to him.
"What do you think?" I ask as I look up into his eyes.
"I think that I am going to kiss you, and you aren't going to stop me." Knives says.
"Well then, what are you waiting for?" I ask. Almost instantly Knives mouth is covering mine in a kiss. It wasn't some short kiss either. It was long and passionate. When we broke we were both out of breath.
"So when are you going to make dinner?" Knives asks as he grins at me.
"Well excuse me, but I seemed to have been a bit preoccupied." I say as I smack him. Knives simply laughs at me as he takes the pot I had gotten out and puts it away. "What are you doing?"
"You're not cooking tonight." Knives states simply.
"What!?" I ask in confusion.
"You spend too much time cooking. We're going out tonight." Knives says as he walks out of the kitchen.
"So where are we going?" I ask with irritation.
"That's a surprise."
"Then how will I know what to where?"
"Put on your best dress. That will be fine." Knives says as he heads to the door.
"And just where are you going!?" I yell in agrivation.
"I've got to get something. I'll be back in an hour. Be ready by then, ok?" Knives says and leaves before I get the chance to comment.
Sighing I move to my dresser, and pull out my best dress. It is a lovely dress I bought a few weeks ago. The dress is a beautiful shade of purple. It has two small straps at the shoulders, and is a silk fabric that goes down to my feet. The dress had cost quite a bit, but it was well worth it.
About 45 minutes later I stare at myself in the mirror. Sighing I move to finish getting ready, when I hear a knock at the door. When I open the door I freeze in shock.
"Red Geraniums!?"
"Do you like them?" Knives asks softly.
"They're beautiful." I respond.
"Just like you ." Knives says as he kisses me. I notice that Knives is wearing a very neat, and expensive tuxedo, and I fight to hold back a blush. "So, are you ready?"
"Almost. Where are we going?"
"I told you earlier, it's a surprise." Knives says. I finish getting ready, then grab my coat, and we leave. _______________________________________________________________________
Knives POV
I had been planning this dinner for weeks. I had intended to surprise Serena, and I did. I took Serena to one of the fanciest restuarants in the city, and I could tell she was shocked.
"This is amazing." Serena said as she continued to look around.
"Good to know you like it." I say calmly.
"It's great. Thank you."
I smile at her as we take a seat, and order our meal. Once we are done, we leave a tip, and head out. I notice that Serena is wearing a pure smile that makes her look like an angel.
"So what now?" Serena asks.
"I figured we could just walk around for a bit." I respond. Serena nods, and we walk towards the park. After about twenty minutes we decide to sit on one of the benches at the park. Once it starts to get late Serena and I head back home for the night.
~End~
Yes I know it's short, but I can't quite think at the time. Please review and tell me if I should add more. Also I had an idea about chapter 8, but it is really dark. I'm not really sure if I should put it up. Please let me know. Love and Peace.
