AN: No, I did not mean to spell straight, as strait. Important note at the end, please Read, Review, and Enjoy!
"How did your test go?" Darien asked Serena over the phone.
"I don't think it went well at all." Serena cringed. "But, I only have one more class before spring break, so I'm just trying to get through the day."
"Ya know, you thought you did badly on your last test, and you passed with flying colors." Darien tried to comfort her.
"I just worry," She sighed.
"You'll be just fine, I'm sure. Well, you best be off to class, call me when you're finished okay." Darien was tempted to tell her his surprise.
"Okay, talk to you soon."
"Bye Serena." They both hung up.
Serena grabbed her backpack and made sure to lock the door before she left. The weather that greeted her outside her dorm was beautiful. Regardless of the weather she dragged her feet all the way to her class. Only one fourth of the students in her class attended. The professor joked the whole time, and Serena rather enjoyed the lecture.
As soon as they bell rang she packed up her bag and headed for the door. As Spring break greeted her on the other side of the doors, she spotted something, dropped her bag and ran.
She jumped into Darien's arms and wrapped her legs around his torso. "I missed you," She whispered in his ear as she nibbled on it.
He set her down, "Wanna take a ride?"
Serena suddenly noticed his car, "Okay." She grabbed her bag off the ground and kissed his cheek after he opened the car door for her. She shut the door after she got in and proceeded to his side. "What are you doing here?" She asked innocently.
"I wanted to surprise you," He smiled as he started the car.
"You did, I'm so happy to see you." She rubbed his arm, "I'm gonna be so lonely this week at my house. My mom and dad are gone as usual and Sammy is going on vacations with a friend. You're gonna come visit m--" Serena stopped as Darien drove past her dorm. "Darien, you--"
"I know," He interrupted.
"Where are we going?" She was confused.
"I told you I wanted to surprise you." He glowered mischievously.
"Where are you taking me?!" She began to panic.
Darien placed his hand on her knee, she immediately calmed down. "Do you trust me?" He smiled softly.
Serena relaxed, she had never really thought about it. "Of course I trust you," She snuggled against his arm.
"Good," He laughed, "Let's just enjoy the ride."
"Enjoy the ride, huh?" Serena unbuttoned his fly, only to see his reaction.
Darien swerved the car, "No, no, no," He swatted her hand away, "Not while I'm driving." He re-buttoned his pants, Serena giggled. Darien shook his head and chuckled.
"Can I turn on the radio?" She questioned.
"Sure," He turned it on. Serena played with the dial until she found a station that suited her.
Darien's mouth curled slightly as they drove to their unseen destination, while Serena hummed softly with the radio.
"We're here," He whispered.
She stirred, "How long were we driving?"
"A few hours. I wanted to take you somewhere with no distractions." He helped her out of the car, and waited while she stretched her legs. "Somewhere, where no one can interrupt us," He cocked an eyebrow at her as a grin crept upon his face.
She nudged him playfully, "Hentai," She stopped suddenly, "Wait."
"What!?" Darien thought something had happened.
"Nobody knows I'm gone."
"I told Mina, and I left a message with your housekeeper for Sammy."
"Oh," She settled down, "But wait." She stopped him again. "I don't have any clothes, I can't wear the same outfit all week. How long are we staying here?"
"As long as you want," he escorted her into the lobby of the hotel. "You've probably stayed in better hotels." He had tried to find the hotel with the best view.
She shook her head, "Nope, this is the nicest one I've ever been in."
"You're just kidding me."
"Well, it's the best cuz I'm here with you." She roped her arms around his waste and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Wait 'til you see the view," Darien teased.
"Which one?" She slapped his ass, and squealed when he grabbed her.
They checked in and Darien insisted they go see the room
"How did I not hear it?" Serena ran to the balcony which overlooked the ocean.
"I'm surprised you didn't smell the salt water." He wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Oh wait, you were too busy freaking out about your clothes."
She stuck her tongue out at him, "So what am I gonna do about that anyway?"
"You won't need any clothes for what I've got planned," He laughed loudly as her jaw dropped, "Do you think this was just spur of the moment? I've been planning this for a month."
How did you keep it from me?"
"The look on your face when we passed your dorm was enough incentive for me," He chided. "Your clothes are in the trunk. I took the liberty of breaking into your room, with some help from Mina and grabbed some of your stuff. How come you've never worn that black thong?"
Her eyes widened, and she shoved him, "You were going through my underwear?!"
"Nothing I haven't seen before," He laughed. She punched him. "ABUSE!" He pretended to nurse his wound.
"I can't believe you pulled this off." She ignored him, "This is amazing. Thank you so much." She snuggled close to him.
They stood together for a moment before a knock on the door interrupted them. Serena and Darien walked to the door together and ushered in the bellboy and their luggage.
Before Darien slipped him a tip the bellboy pointed out the room service menu, and recommended some specialties for their dinner. Darien thanked him and shut the door.
"I'm starving," Serena flopped onto the bed.
Darien approached her, "I'm hungry, but no food will suffice my appetite." He grinned playfully.
"No, I wanna eat first." She tried to fend him off to no avail, "Darien . . ." She gave up.
"So what are you gonna order?" Darien inquired as him and Serena sat in the hotel's main restaurant.
"Something big. After that ambuscade I could eat a horse. You exhaust me."
"I wouldn't have it any other way," He smirked. "Do you want me to get you something to drink?"
"Now you're trying to get me drunk?" Serena raised an eyebrow.
Darien rolled his eyes, "You know that's not my intention."
Serena leaned forward, "Then what are your intentions?"
He inched closer, "If I wanted you drunk, you already would be." She gawked as he continued, "Fortunately for you I enjoy the company of un- inebriated women," He laughed. "I'd guess from your demeanor that you'd be a giggly drunk, and that wouldn't be that much fun after the initial few minutes. Besides, I like taking advantage of you while you're sober."
The waiter cleared his throat, interrupting their banter. Serena's cheeks flushed hoping that he hadn't heard anything. Darien and Serena both ordered and Serena crossed her arms in annoyance after he left.
"You love embarrassing me don't you?" She pouted.
Darien smirked, "Well, it's the easiest way to get you mad. And you're so damn cute when you're mad," He attempted a recovery.
It worked: "Does it make you hot?" She whispered.
"Oh yeah," He lowered his voice.
Or so he thought: "You're such a jerk," She kicked him playfully from underneath the table.
He feigned pain, "You're gonna pay for that later."
"Darien! Serena!" A voice sounded from behind them.
Serena's eyes shot open as her and Darien both turned to see who had called their names, full well recognizing the voice beforehand.
AN: Due to time constraints and the recent large amounts of flames I've been receiving, I've decided to discontinue speaking with my reviewers in my chapters. To those of you who have been with me every chapter, I really appreciate it, and I'll probably e-mail from time to time. But the truth is that I want to reply to everyone; however, my mother tells me that if I don't have anything nice to say, then I shouldn't say anything at all. If there are any glaring problems or questions, I will answer them. Please continue to review if you'd like me to keep publishing my chapters. Unfortunately it is very discouraging to keep publishing knowing that I'll be blasted for it; I haven't decided if I'll continue after this story. I apologize to my supporters, and to those that have flamed me or been unusually mean and negative, I hope you're happy.
