Chapter 4- Mixing more than food

Serena got up off of the bed and went to her suitcase. She examined all of her clothes. They were suits and gowns and hats that seemed to stand out from the people here. Everyone dressed so casual, and she was this girl with Luis Vat on heels on with a Mink coat. She hated half her clothes anyways. Her mother had picked them out. And her and her mother did not have the same taste. She definitely stood out, but she didn't have the money to get new clothes.

"Oh" Lita said knocking on the door.

"You're coffee's ready. You settling in ok?" Lita asked sitting on the bed.

"Yeah. Just my clothes, they really don't seem appropriate now that I'm in New York" Serena said while looking at her clothes.

"Well you know, tomorrow, how bout we go shopping"

"I'd love to, but I only have 1,000 dollars for living" Serena said with a slight frown, knowing that she wanted to go shopping.

"That's ok, we can go to this store I know of. It has great clothes for cheap, I mean dirt cheap. Don't worry you won't even get a chance to spend 1,000 dollars there" Lita said with a smile that comforted Serena.

Later that evening…

Serena and Lita seemed to be hitting it off great. They sat down like high school girls talking about guys and life in general. Of course they made it more interesting with a couple of cosmos, even though Serena was underage.

"So he tells me that he's got to go to work, and then I go to check on him at work, and there he is with his pant's around his anklesscrewing some chick"Lita said as her and Serena busted up laughing with their faces red as a ripe apple.

"Oh my god" Serena said trying to stop laughing because her abs hurt so much.

"More to drink" Lita said holding up the pitcher.

"No, I think I'm fine"

"Suit yourself" Lita said as she poured more into her glass.

"So how was your first time" Litaasked taking another drink.

"My first time…" Serena repeated. "Well, I'm still a virgin" Serena tried to say without sounding school girl like.

"Oh" Lita said surprised. "Well that's good though, at least your not fuckin' around like me. She said as they laughed.

"So do you like Darien?" Lita said a few minutes later.

"I think he's attractive, and he's a really nice guy. But yeah I guess I do"

"I can tell he likes you too. You know that man has had the worst luck with women. But I think you would be right for him"

"I mean what's he like" Serenaasked, now daydreaming about him.

"He's a simple guy. Not uptight, just carefree, he goes with the flow of things. He's more of a guy who's about comfort than style. He's not shallow, he looks deeper into things, into people's personality you know"

"Yeah" Serena said still trying to picture his perfect face.

"Well who knows, you two may be together one day" Lita said as Serena started to blush and grin.

"I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired. I'll see you in the morning. Get some sleep k" Lita said while walking out of the living room into her own. Serena got up herself from the ground and laid on her bed. She looked out the small window next to it that showed the big city and its lights as she wondered where Darien was in that big city in front of her…

The next morning Serena felt like shit. Maybe she had drunk too much liquor, or it was jet lag. In her black, silk pajamas and her eye mask on top of her head she walked out into the living room, to make herself breakfast. As soon as she got around the corner, someone popped right in front of her.

"Morning" Darien said as Serena almost jumped out of her skin.

"Oh…my god…" Serena said clutching on to her chest. She was startled by his appearance, when she felt like she was still asleep.

"I'm sorry did I scare you" Darien said as he saw her jump.

"No, no not at all" Serena said trying to act cool. "It's like a reflex thing that happens and um…. Ok yeah you scared me" Serena said laughing as he laughed along with her.

"Well I just stopped by to see how you were doing. Lita went to work early today for a meeting, she said she'd be home around6 though to take you shopping"

"Oh ok" Serena said now calm from her moment earlier.

"So everything going ok" He asked

"Yeah. I just got jet lag. I don't know what time schedule I'm on. Plus I drank someliqour last night and that didn't help"

"Hangover" Darien suggested.

"Maybe" Serena said going into the kitchen trying to look for something to eat.

"Here how about I make you something to eat and make you something for that hangover of yours" Darien said closing the door gently to the refrigerator.

"Are you sure? Cause I can make it on my own…"

"No I'll do it. You just sit down and relax" Darien said motioning for her to sit down. She took a seat over at the bar stool next to the counter so she could look at him while he made breakfast.

"So you know how to cook uh?" Serena asked him as she took of her eye mask on top of her head and ruffled her hair.

"Yeah, I'm a chef actually at a restaurant not to far from here"

"Really" Serena said surprised.

"Yeah, maybe I could take you their, you know for dinner and then maybe catch a movie or something after wards" Darien said to her as he looked at the beauty behind the counter.

"I'd like that" Serena said. "So it would kind of be like a date right" She said flirtatiously.

"Yeah. You still want to go" He said cracking open an egg into the bowl.

"Of course I would" Serena said as she got up from her seat and went into the kitchen.

"Well at least let me help you, but let me tell you I don't cook very well" Serena said walking over to him so she could see his eyes better.

"Here why don't you mix the pancake batter" Darien said handing her a spoon. She stirred it for a while, while he was doing the eggs until she just thought something didn't look right.(Author's note: Mind you, Serena comes from a rich family, she's never cooked shit. The little bubbles in the batter, yeah that's what she thinks is wrong with it. LOL)

"Darien am I doing this right?" She asked him as she wondered why there were still little bubbles in the batter.

"Here let me show you" He said coming up from behind her and taking her hand into his with his strong, but gentle grip. He then started moving his arm with hers to give her the felling of the movement.

"You see you just have to move it like this" He said continuing to move his arm with his on the spoon. Serena thought she was going to faint. He was so close to her that she even smelt like his cologne'. She could feel his breath on her neck as he continued to show her how to mix the batter in properly.

"Are you getting the hang of it" Darien said so quietly it was almost a whisper.

"Yeah I think so" Serena said shakily. She turned around to look at him and realized that his lips were only inches from hers.

"Are you sure" Darien said quietly again.

"Yes" Serena said in a whisper as she turned around to have his lips on hers. He moved his hands up and down her back as there lips were locked to each others. Serena moved her hands up his neck and up to his hair so she could run her hands through it. It was soft and smooth, just like his kiss. When her lips were off of his she opened her eyes to see midnight blue ones staring back at her.

"Well um… we better get to making this breakfast" Serena said with a smile and giving him another kiss on the lips.

"Sure" He said not wanting to let go of her.

"This is really good Darien" Serena commented as she took a bite of the pancakes.

"Well you made them" Darien said as he too took a bite of the pancakes. Serena smiled at him as she continued to eat.

"Well we still have the whole day to ourselves. Do you want to go and look around the city a bit?"

"Sure I'd love that" Serena said with the biggest smile on her face.

"Let me go get myself together" Serena said as she scooted out from her chair to go and find something at least suitable to wear, for a day out. Luckily she had packed some of her jeans and a pink sweater that her mom hated because she said was too casual. At least she somewhat fit in to her atmosphere.

"I'm ready" She said as Darien put down the magazine in front of him and got his coat.

"Shall we" Darien said opening the door and taking her hand.

"Yes we shall" Serena said trying to imitate her old self back in London. As she walked down the hall with Darien all she could do was gaze into his eyes and all Darien could do was do the same…
