Chapter Three- Some Time Together
(2 days before Christmas)
Serena: "Hey Mina do you think I can stay at your house for Christmas?" Mina: "Sorry Serena, but I'm going to Europe to have Christmas Dinner with my Grandparents." Serena: "Oh that's okay; I'll just call somebody else." Mina: "Sorry." Serena: "Its okay, really Mina." Mina: "Well, I've got to go, bye Serena." Serena: "Bye."
Serena hung up the phone and sighed that was her last hope, well maybe...
Her family was going to America, and if she didn't find a place to stay soon, she would be made to go!
Below Mina's number was another and it was Darien's, Serena's last hope. Serena didn't think her parents would let her sleep at a guy's apartment, so she made up a plan.
Making sure no one was around; Serena picked up the phone again and dialed Darien's number...
Looks like another lonely Christmas, Darien thought as he looked at Tokyo City, as his apartment balcony. Serena told him two weeks ago that she was going to America to visit her cousin's and she wouldn't be back until the day after Christmas. Too late to tell her how I feel... He thought. Why is it when I'm around her that I tease her? She probably hates me, I don't blame her...maybe I should just give up, and she'll never feel the same way I do...
Darien sighed as he walked back into his apartment.
As if someone was answering his prayers, the phone on his coffee table began to ring.
Hurriedly, Darien raced to pick it up, before it stopped ringing.
Darien: "Hello?" Serena: "Hey Darien, do you mind if I stay at your place for the next few days? My parents and brother are going to America this Christmas, and I don't want to go."
Darien was surprised, when did Serena ever find him interesting? Oh well, it was his once in a life time chance, I've got to say yes!!! He thought.
Darien: "Sure, just bring what you need, and I'll pick you up." Serena: "Just meet me in the park gazebo in about 30 minutes, okay?" Darien: "Alright, I'll see you there." Serena: "Bye!" Darien: "Bye!"
Darien hung up the phone, I can't believe she called, He thought, fate's doing its job this year...
Serena began to pack, singing Christmas songs as she went. Soon, her mother's voice rang up the stairs.
"Serena honey, have you found a place to stay?"
"Yes mom," She answered back with a sly grin, "I'm going to Mina's House."
"Alright, you better go then, were about to leave, I love you!"
Serena stuffed everything else she needed in her backpack and went for the door. She called out, "Bye everybody, have a safe trip, love ya!"
Her dad never looked up from his news paper but mumbled a 'Good-bye' before asking his wife if they were ready to go. Sammy ran up and hugged Serena before she could get a hand on the doorknob, despite all of their fights, they still loved each other. After hugging and kissing her mom and dad, Serena left her house to meet Darien in the park. Not knowing that this meeting will change her life forever...
30 minutes later, Darien was sitting in the park gazebo waiting for Serena to show up. It took her another 15 minutes before Darien saw her figure running towards him.
"Hey!!!" Serena called out to him, before she collapsed on the bench beside him to catch her breath. "Hey" He answered back, "Took you long enough."
"Don't start Darien Chiba!" She said back.
Suddenly, both Serena and Darien felt sparks going through their bodies, their eyes connected and they both felt something in the pit of their stomachs. Serena broke the contact and looked at her hand which lay on top of her lap. Whoa... She thought, What was that? Serena felt Darien's deep midnight blue ocean eyes staring down upon her, she shifted uncomfortably.
Darien shook his head, trying to clear it. He's never felt this way about a girl before. Without thinking, Darien placed his hand under her chin and lifted it up. Blue met Blue in an intense gaze that most people that walked by would think that they were lovers.
Darien saw a blush creep up into Serena's cheeks, he still kept his loving gaze on her, never wanting to let go of this moment. Absentmindedly, Darien inched closer to her face, his breath upon her lips....
What am I doing?!? Darien thought, he immediately pulled back from Serena and gave her a forgiving smile. Serena just shivered and wrapped her arms around herself; Darien took off his jacket and placed it on her shoulders.
Soon, snow started to fall around them; children's laughter rang in the cold air, and Serena got an idea.
She removed herself from the bench and ran out of the gazebo, stopping only to give Darien a 'come and get me' look. Darien smiled back mischievously and ran after her.
While running, Darien scooped up some snow from the ground and threw it at Serena. It hit her on the back.
"DARIEN, that's cold!!!" She yelled at him, stopping to brush the snow off of her back. While she was doing that, Darien caught up with her. Serena yelped with surprise when she turned around and Darien was standing in front of her.
Darien gave her one of his killer smiles, and Serena backed away from him, trying to pick up snow without being noticed. At the top of the hill, Serena lost her footing and yelled out when she began to slip down the hill; she grabbed the closes thing to her, which was a very surprised Darien.
They both tumbled down the hill together, Serena landed on top of Darien at the bottom of the hill; both out of breath and laughing.
"Are you okay?" Darien asked, helping Serena off of him, and getting her off of the ground.
"I'm fine" She said back, trying to suppress her giggles.
After many arguments and a lot of Darien's teasing, Serena found it hard not to like him. I've never seen this side of him before. She thought.
Soon, nightfall came both Serena and Darien were forced by the cold to go to his apartment; in which Serena got really nervous and Darien had to get her attention every 5 minutes to talk to her.
"Hello, Serena are you in there?" Darien interrupted her thoughts again. "Huh, Wha..." Serena looked at him, "Oh, Sorry."
"Serena?" Darien repeated, he noted that she would doze off every few minutes. After an hour of dozing off, Serena finally fell asleep, her head rested on Darien's shoulder.
Darien smiled and picked Serena up and carried her to his bedroom; careful not to wake her. Darien soon fell asleep beside the bed in a chair; dreaming of what would happen if Serena was his girlfriend...
