AN: Sorry it's been a while, I'm still alive. My trip went great, my team and I may have even discovered a new species of Sauropods. Anywho, once again I've attempted to be funny with this one. Hope it works. Read, Review, and Enjoy!
"It was all a prank?!" Darien stared through her.
"Just a prank, I called it off. I have feelings for you." Serena defended.
Darien grabbed her shoulders, "I told you I loved you." He shook her hard.
"STOP! You're hurting me!" She tried to get out of his grip.
"Serena, honey, we're here." Darien nudged her slightly. Serena's eyes shot open, "You okay?" Darien helped her out of the car.
"What time is it?" She drawled, reeling from the all-to-real dream.
"Almost three, c'mon, we'll get the luggage in the morning. Let's just go to bed." He squeezed her hand.
"Uh-huh," Serena's eyelids were heavy. She handed Darien her key to the front gate, then drowsily pointed out the key to the front door.
Darien supported Serena's full weight as he listened closely while she mumbled directions to her room. "This isn't working." Darien swept Serena off her feet and carried her up the stirs. He chuckled to himself thinking that he had never once been in her house during the three months they had been together. But her room was exactly as he had pictured it. Light pink paint covered the expansive walls. A king size bed was parked in the middle of the room. And in the dark he caught a glimpse of her large walk-in closet.
Darien gently set her on the bed, and removed all articles of her clothing excluding her bra and panties. He slid her underneath the covers before removing his own clothing and scooting in next to her.
It took her no time to rope her arms around him and stay tight in his hold. He brushed his fingers through her hair until her breathing became slow and steady. With every rise and fall of her chest, he fell deeper and deeper into slumber.
Serena's eyes slowly opened. She felt so sage and warm in Darien's arms. As her eyes adjusted to the light she tried to recall how they had gotten from their hotel to her bedroom
'Oh, that's right,' She stated mentally, 'He said he loved me, I said let's fuck, and when we got up to the room Andy and Mina were loud and drunk, and had beaten us to it; so we left.' She stopped to clear her thoughts, 'Darien said he loved me.' The realization of what those words meant hit her with full force. "Oh my god." She gasped aloud.
"Go back to bed Serena." Darien rolled over, pulling her closer.
Serena saw the alarm clock; 1:30 pm was emblazoned in lured numbers, "No, we have to get up Darien." She trued to pry his hands off her waste.
"No," he gripped her tighter.
"I wanna go take a shower," She whined.
"Me too," he perked up.
Serena took advantage of his ambivalence and toppled off the bed, in an attempt to get out of his hold.
Darien peered over the side of the bed, "You could have just asked nicely."
Serena narrowed her eyes, "Right." She got up and examined her body; "If I get a bruise--" She began.
"I'll just have to kiss it and make it all better." Darien rebounded.
"Whatever." Serena stuck her tongue out at him, "Go back to bed while I take a shower." She ordered.
"I can't come with you?" He pouted, "What've you got to hide?" He cocked his eyebrow.
"My dignity," She muttered as she walked toward the bathroom.
Darien scrambled out of her bed and attacked her from behind.
"Darien!" She squealed in surprise.
"Those hips, those eyes, that smile;" He kissed her neck, "Are too much for me to handle."
"I really have to take a shower." She tried to push him away.
"I know!" He grabbed her wrists and pulled her forward, "Let's go swimming!"
"Fine," Serena sighed in defeat.
"Oh, even better!" Darien still hadn't released her, "Let's go skinny dipping!" He mused
"NO!" Serena put her foot down, "You can't get in the pool without a swim suit!" She struggled to free her wrists.
"Okay," Darien gave in, "You stay here, I'll go get the luggage out of the car; both our suits are in our bags."
Darien was almost to the front door before Serena stopped him, "Ah, Darien. . ."
"What?" He turned to face her.
"Put some clothes on before you go outside." She recommended.
"I just thought since you liked my ass so much, I'd let the neighbor's have a peak." He grinned.
"You and your Sponge-Bob boxers." Serena rolled her eyes and shut the bathroom door.
"So, what'd you think of Mina and Andy's little show last night?" Darien and Serena walked outside to her pool.
"I hope it gets cancelled," Serena made a face.
"I'm so sorry they ruined it for us." Darien apologized as he held the patio door open for Serena.
"How could you have known they'd do anything like that? Mina is rubbing off on Andrew way too much. He never seemed so air-headed before they started dating."
"He has his moments." Darien and Serena stood over the pool, "Are we gonna get in?" He questioned.
"I have to test the water first." Serena tried to dip her toe in the water. 'Tried,' being the key word. No sooner had she answered him that he shoved her in.
She surfaced momentarily, stringing together curse words Darien had never even heard before; he chuckled, "Well, how's the water?"
"Get in here!" She treaded water.
Darien slid into the water and was bombarded with splashes, "Hey, hey, hey! No horsepucky!" Darien sent a wave of water at Serena, "We forget so easily what happened when a certain young lady threw a snowball at a certain dashing, charming, handsome, intelligent young man," He paused, "Did I miss anything?"
"You forgot idiotic, egotistical, moronic, self absorb--" Darien grabbed her wet body, "Sexy, sensual, ripped." She giggled.
"Yeah, that's what I thought," He kissed her.
"And hot, really, really hot." She licked her lips.
"How could we forget that?" He kissed her deeper.
Serena and Darien enjoyed each others mouths for quite some time. That is until—
"SERENA WELLINGTON!" A shrill voice screeched.
Serena shoved Darien away, "Mom, what are you doing home, umm, so soon?"
Darien stared at the two women. Serena's mother had short brown hair and Serena's blue eyes. "Get out of the pool this instant, and explain to me what on earth is going on!" Serena's mother's eyes burned.
Serena turned to Darien and whispered, "We can go to my dorm or your apartment."
"What was that young lady!?" Her mother interrupted.
"Serena, who is this boy you seem to be attached to?" She demanded.
Serena climbed up the ladder and lent Darien a hand as he followed, "His name is Darien, and he's not a boy."
Darien trailed mutely behind Serena as she hurried inside, "Did you find her honey?" A tall well shaven blonde man rounded the corner and cut Serena and Darien off, "Oh, there you are." He smiled, "I found her Ilene," He yelled to her mother, who stood in the porch. "Who's your friend Serena?" Serena's dad stuck his hand out and shook Darien's, "I'm Ken Wellington, it's nice to meet you."
"His name is Darien; that's all I got out of her." Serena's mother stood next to her father. Darien noted that they made a very handsome couple together.
"We were just leaving." Serena grabbed Darien's hand and breezed past her parents. They both trotted upstairs and got dressed. "We best go to your apartment; who knows who'll be at the dorms to interrupt us. Can I take a shower at your place?" She asked innocently.
"Only if I can lock you up in my room with me afterwards, and throw away the key." He kissed her cheek.
"It's a deal." She kissed him on the lips.
"What was that?" Serena's mother barged in again.
"Have a nice stay. My cell phone won't be on." Serena pushed past her.
Darien tagged behind Serena carrying both their bags. "It was nice to meet you both." He smiled genuinely. Serena slammed the door behind him.
"What just happened?" Ken was confused.
"I think we just met her boyfriend." Ilene quipped.
