Chapter Four- More Mixed Feelings
(1 day before Christmas)
Serena woke up the next morning with a fuzzy feeling on her arm. Darien's sleeping head was placed upon it. Serena never thought she would ever get this close to Darien. Ever since a week before Christmas, Darien has been nothing but nice to her, and Serena liked the 'new' Darien. I've never seen him this way, She thought, Uh-oh, this cannot happen... Darien broke her thoughts by waking up. Yawning, Darien smiled at Serena before standing up and stretching.
"Good Morning, Meatball Head." Darien said; his midnight blue eyes making Serena catch her breath.
"G...Good Morning." Then she gasped, "And don't call me that..." Her voice died in her throat. They locked eyes again, both waiting for the other to make a move. Serena soon felt a blush creep up into her cheeks, Nobody's affected me like this before, She thought.
To break the awkward moment, Darien had an idea
"Hey Meatball Head, do you want to go ice staking?" He asked; her eyes immediately lit up.
"Sure, but on one condition...."
"What?"
"Don't call me Meatball Head!"
"But that would spoil all the fun!"
Serena hit him playfully on the shoulder, "Then I won't go!" "Okay, okay I'll stop teasing you." He said, laughing. "Okay, I have another problem..." "What now?" "I.......can't skate......."
"Then I'll teach you." "Really, you would do that?" Darien shook his head. "Oh Wow, Thank You!" Without thinking, she jumped into his arms and gave him a big hug. Darien wrapped his arms around her, they stayed like this for a moment; until Serena realized what she was doing, let go of him. Darien cleared his throat, and reluctantly let go of Serena; when he let go, he missed her warmth.
"Darien! I can't do this!!" Serena yelled as she fell down for the fourth time.
"Well, you never will if you doubt yourself." He said back. He reached out a hand to help her up, Serena took it gratefully.
"Just take little steps." He instructed, "You'll learn better that way."
Serena tried again, she didn't think ice skating would be so hard. "Whoa!" She started to fall again, but Darien caught her this time.
"Darien, I don't think I can do this!" She grabbed onto his arm to steady herself. Darien sighed and helped her stake off the ice.
"I'm sorry Darien, but I'll never get the hang of it."
"Sure you will, it just takes a lot of practice."
As soon as Serena's confidence was restored, Serena and Darien were back on the ice. Serena was soon skating all around the frozen lake; only falling down once or twice.
"See, you can do it!" He yelled after her.
Soon, sunset came and Serena and Darien returned to Darien's apartment; laughing and joking all the way.
Before Serena went to sleep, she suddenly realized something. She noticed that Darien was being a little nicer to her; he always helped her up when she fell at the skating ring today. I Think I'm falling in love with him!!!
