Not What I Seem

Chapter 3

The limo pulled up outside the club, as far as the girls could see, the line outside the door went half-way down the block.

The club itself was lit up like a light show. The large black brick building, which seemed to be deserted during the day, came to life at night. It had a red carpet that led from the street to the door and the bouncer was standing at the font of the line checking ids and letting only a few people in at a time. It was a popular spot for the so called "in crowd".

They both stepped out of the limo and walked over to the door. Both being regulars here, as well as good friends with the bouncer, neither had to worry about the long hike to the end of the line which was out of sight by now.

Serena flashed her dazzling smile towards Nephrite as he opened the door for them. Nephrite had known Serena since she started coming to the club about 2 years ago. He had discovered their real ages not long after, but promised that he would not say anything as long as they were positive there was no way of them being caught.

Serena knew the real reason was that he was into her good friend; Lita, it was just a shame the girl never noticed him cause he was quite a looker. He stood high above Serena and Mina, about 6'3 with dark brown wavy hair that hung just below his shoulders; he had amusing green eyes, which sparkled like stars. He had well defined features and a great tan.

"Evening ladies, hope your having a great night."

"Hey Neph, are the rest of the girls here yet?"

"Sure Sere, Raye and Ami just got here, and Lita and the latest boyfriend of the week have been here for about an hour"

He rolled his eyes and tried to hide the fact that he was jealous of Lita's boyfriend. Serena stifled a giggle, of course she noticed the slight uncomfortable look he had.

"Hey Mina haven't seen you around in a while"

Mina looked around as if she just noticed he was talking to her.

"Oh hey Neph" then she smiled then looked around awkwardly as if searching for someone.

"Is Andrew here?"

Nephrite laughed to himself, like everyone else he knew about Andrew and Mina being like totally in love with each other.

"Yea Mina he's here, him some of the other guys got here just before Raye and Ami."

Mina looked relieved and smiled for the first time since they had stepped out of the limo that night.

"Heaps kool, thanks Neph, see ya later"

"Bye girls, have fun"

He fully opened to door to allow them both to walk inside then closed it softly behind them, the noise from outside was muted by the loud music being played inside the club.

The two girls walked into the club, music blaring so loud they could hardly hear themselves think, they did their lap around the room checking out who was here then they walked over to their regular table where the rest of the group was sitting.

The group smiled and waved at the two as they neared them. Raye and Ami were the first to stand up. Raye hugged the two girls followed by Ami.

Raye was the perfect example of a dark beauty, the envy of most women she ever met; she had long silky black hair that went half-way down her back and dark mysterious almost purple eyes (close friends knew she wore purple contacts for the effect). All year round Raye had the perfect tan, adding to the exotic picture she made. She was wearing a short black dress that came to mid thigh and had red flames along the bottom of it, it was held up by two thin straps, and she was wearing a cute pair of red high heals.

Ami, like always looked stunning but in a more innocent way. Ami had short shoulder length black hair that had dark blue streaks through it. She had sparkling dark blue eyes, which usually showed she knew more then she let known. She was wearing a black knee length skirt and a corset style dark blue top that laced up in the front with midnight blue stiletto heals. Ami was by far the quietest one of the group, she was working to be a doctor and when she wasn't out clubbing with the girls she had her nose buried in some medical book with a title too difficult for the general population to pronounce.

Serena looked over towards the bar and saw Lita standing by it practically having sex on the bar stool with some guy, whom Serena assumed to be boyfriend number 'god knows' of the week. Lita looked over and waved to Serena and Mina, dragging 'Mr. whatever his name was' behind her she walked over to hug the girls.

"Hey Sere, Min, how are yas? Didn't think you were actually going to show tonight."

Serena hugged Lita followed by Mina.

"Hey girl, I'm good, of course we came, had to catch up on all the goss and meet this handsome guy here."

Serena nodded towards the guy with Lita.

Lita was a beautiful girl, she has long wavy brown hair; which was generally in a high ponytail, and sparkling green eyes, that could flare up at you if she was mad, but were gentle and calming most of the time. Her eyes resembled her personality, she could be quite intimidating if the need arose but mostly she was a calming influence on all the girls. Lita was taller then all the other girls; about 5'10 she was wearing tight flared jeans with an army looking tank top and high back boots, she had her hair up in her everyday ponytail yet as always looked absolutely great.

Before Serena met Lita she may have been slightly intimidated by her, she had once had a problem getting into fights and was a bit of a tom boy. But since Serena and Mina had known her Lita had changed and now got into less fights, although the people she hung out with sometimes, weren't the sort of people you would want to run into alone. Serena loved Lita but was better friends with Ami and Raye, Lita and Mina were best friends and Lita was the only person in the world who knew Mina as well as Serena.

Lita laughed and turned around at the sound of her boyfriends cough.

"Oh yea guys this is... ummm... Luke!"

Luke smiled at everyone as they introduced themselves and he tried to ignore the obvious fact that Lita only just remembered his name. Lita sat down next to Mina and started talking about something and the rest of the girls sat down and started to chat about the guys that were here. Luke looked bored just standing next to Lita so he leaned down and whispered something into her ear and then with her nod of approval he walked off to a group of guys he obviously knew.

Serena turned to Lita.

"So where did this one come from Lita, is this actually serious or just another guy to drop when you get sick of him?"

"Shut-up bitch, your one to talk Sere"

Serena laughed at Lita's comment

"Whatever you reckon Lita...soo....how serious is it?"

Lita looked thoughtful for a moment then laughed

"Sere you know me better then that, screw being serious I'm only in it for a good time it's not my fault he doesn't realize that."

Serena smiled

"figured"

that poor guy I wonder if he knows what he is getting into

"So where did you meet him?"

"He is actually a friend of mine..."

They all turned around to see Alan and his girlfriend Ann, walk up the stairs to the table. Everyone said hi then Alan continued.

"I introduced Luke to Lita, she was lonely and I figured she needed someone to keep her occupied and Luke is a nice guy and I figured they would hit it off...who'd have known I was right"

Ann and Alan weren't as close as the rest of the group, they were sort of outsiders but they all got along well enough. They both looked very much alike, people occasionally mistook them for brother and sister, and this was something they were both very defensive about.

The group all sat down and talked about what they had all been doing lately and all caught up on the latest gossip.

Raye told them about her newest search for a job and the action on the beach, her second favorite place in the world (after the club with the girls), Lita gave them some more information on Luke, and Allan and Ann explained how they knew him and filled in details which Lita wasn't quite sure on, which was pretty much everything but how he looks and how good he was in bed. Ami tried for about 2 minutes to explain the newest study on cell research or something till Lita went over and bought her a drink just to shut her up.

After all the gossip they all turned on Mina to try and find out what was going on between her and Andrew. Raye was mad because normally Andrew told her everything, this was the one exception.

"Come on Mina! Spill girl. You and Drew. What's going on?"

Mina shyly looked away as she blushed

"Please guys, there is nothing going on I promise that if there was you would be the first ones to know, but at this rate I don't think anything ever will happen, I think he is only interested in me as a friend"

Sadly she looked down and tried not to look too disappointed. Raye laughed

"God honey, are you blind or something? You are like his life, which is pretty pathetic seeing how there is nothing going on between the two of you yet. Your all he ever asks about and all he ever talks about. And you think he only wants to be friends! God and I thought Serena was thick"

Serena's ears perked up at this comment

"I resent that Raye! I'm not thick I just have to keep to losers on your toes!"

"Uhuh, yea whatever Sere. Look Mina I promise that if you made a move then he wouldn't turn you down."

Mina smiled at Raye and muttered some agreement

"Ok Raye."

Serena sat by and only half listened, her attention was more focused on watching the couples wistfully on the dance floor. Mina turned towards Serena and saw the distant look in her eye. She felt sad for her cousin, Serena didn't let her guard down very often but when she knew no one was paying attention her uncaring outer appearance disappeared and she let herself feel again.

#Serena's point of view#

I sat there watching all the happy couples dancing to the slow song that had come on, I smiled wistfully at how in love some of them seemed. I missed that sometimes, sure I knew that love brought pain and hurt and I protected myself from that by not getting seriously involved with any guy, but I missed the happiness and the tender loving words from the person you loved, I missed all the good bits that you didn't get when you were only in the relationship for a good roll in the hay and nothing more.

I knew Mina had seen me watching the people dancing, she is the only one who understands why I shut myself off from the world, I love the rest of my friends, but it was a big enough step telling them about who my father was and that I had grown up in what they would class as 'upper society', I couldn't yet tell them the rest of my horrible secrets. It was enough having Mina understand, I don't want pity.

#Back to me#

"Hi I'm Diamond."

Serena looked up, torn from her thoughts, amazed to see a man staring down at her, he was easily 6'2 and he had broad shoulders and what she assumed to be under his tight black shirt to be a well toned chest. He had silvery blonde shoulder length hair and icy blue eyes that Sere could see herself reflected in.

Serena smiled sweetly and stood up the top of her head only reaching the top of his shoulders. She extended her hand gracefully.

"Hi, I'm Serena nice to meet you."

Diamond took her hand and kissed the top of it softly,

"Lovely" he whispered.

Serena looked up, "excuse me?"

I heard exactly what he said but its best to make sure I heard correctly

Diamond looked her straight in the eyes

"I said lovely, your name is as beautiful as the exquisite creature it belongs to; I don't believe I have ever set my eyes on such enchanting beauty before. Care to dance sweet Serena?"

Man, he's good with the lines, this could prove to be interesting

Serena smirked to herself,

This could be fun

"I'd love to Diamond."

Diamond, who had yet to let go of Serena's hand smiled graciously at the rest of the table. Serena allowed herself to be slowly led to the dance floor amidst the sweating couples, dancing furiously to the beat of the music. Lita gave Serena two thumbs up and the rest of the girls waved good luck to her.

The couple moved onto the dance floor and started dancing to the fast paced music that was playing. Serena expertly swung her hips in beat to the music and became one with it; she noticed that Diamond too was an excellent dancer which surprised her.

For a while they danced, both becoming sweaty, each hoping for a slower song to be played, for them to breath but also to test the boundaries of the other.

As the music finally slowed down the two moved closer together, molding their hot sweaty bodies together. Serena moved her small fragile hands up along his strong chest and wove her hands around his neck. Diamond placed his hands lightly on her hips as he pulled her closer to him, and they started to dance as one in beat with the slow music.

Serena rested her head on his chest as she slowed her breathing down and allowed herself to enjoy the feel of having him close to her. She inhaled his scent, and pressed herself up against him. Hearing him groan under his breath she smiled to herself.

Diamond groaned under his breath and looked down and the girl in his arms. He smirked, he knew who she really was, and he knew everything about her and the more he discovered about the minx in his arms, the more he wanted her. He was accustomed to getting everything he wanted, and Serenity Celeste was no exception to this rule.

Diamond came from an extremely well to do family who had just moved into the area which worked to his advantage, he didn't want Serena knowing he was wealthy, once she figured that out he knew she would run. His father was one of the most sort after lawyers in the business and never lost a case and Diamond, although being only 21 owned an extremely prosperous computer company from which he made millions. Having Serenity Celeste for his very own would only add to his wealth, making him the most powerful man on the planet.

Serena shifted in his arms slightly so she could gaze up at his face.

"So Diamond, tell me a little about yourself..."

Diamond was a little startled, he didn't expect this question.

"Well, I work the bar at a small restaurant down town..." and as he went on rattling off the simple record he had made up for himself they continued to dance slowly to the music, completely unaware of the dark stranger sitting at the bar watching them closley.
