She was so beautiful. An angel walking among mortals. He pressed his hand to the glass, trying to get closer to her. For a moment he thought he saw her turn his way and smile gently, but when he blinked she was looking the other way. He sighed. His angel would be his soon, very soon. He turned and walked away, feeling happier than he had in weeks. His angel was near him. Now all he had to do was get rid of the parasite hanging off her. Holding her down. Burdening his precious. He needed to relieve her of the burden that was her son Samuel. ****
Serena hummed as she gathered up dishes and tips from the table. She was closing the diner tonight. She had made arrangements for Raye to pick Sammy up from school and watch him while she was at work. The bell over the door tinkled and Serena looked up, covering her mouth to stifle a laugh at the sight up Darien, sopping wet. "I left my wallet." She nodded and smiled. "Of course. Just a moment." She walked behind the counter and rummaged through a box. "Here it is," she said triumphantly a moment later. He smiled as he took it from her hand. "Thank you," he said softly, smiling at her. Serena's breath caught in her throat as she looked deeply into his midnight blue eyes. He leaned forward, his breath warm on her face. For a moment she thought he would kiss her. As she leaned forward the kitchen door swung open. "Serena—" Lita stared at Serena with a small smile on her lips. She and Darien had jumped about a foot apart from each other. "Serena, Andrew said that you could head home now." She winked at Serena and walked back into the kitchen. Serena cleared her throat.
"Would you like a ride home?" he nodded gratefully. Serena got her jacket and purse out of the back and walked to the front door. "Bye," she called. There was no answer. She locked the front door behind her and turned to Darien. "My car is this way." He followed her silently until they reached her car. For the first time since she had bought the car, Serena was ashamed by it. It was a mess. Sammy's schoolwork was piled on the passenger seat and her registration forms were lying, scattered in the back. "Go ahead and just throw that in the back." He put it on the back seat and got in, fastening his seatbelt. Serena started the car and turned on the radio. It was turned to the highest volume setting. She winced and turned it down. "So, you're car in the shop?" He seemed to have been startled out of a dream "What? No, no. I just didn't feel like driving such a short distance." Serena laughed. "I know what you mean. Do you mind if we pick up Sammy real fast. It's just that the babysitters house is in between yours and mine." He shrugged. "That's fine." She pulled up to a large condo and unbuckled her seatbelt.
"I'll be just a minute." She ran up to the door and knocked quickly. Darien, watching from the car saw the door opened by a man with long platinum brown hair. He hugged Serena and motioned her inside. She shook her head and pointed to the car. The dark haired man nodded and walked back inside, a few minutes later Sammy came out and hugged his mother. On the way back to the car he chatted eagerly with her. Minutes later they were on their way. "Nathaniel let me play with a baseball that was signed by Babe Ruth." Serena made a noncommittal noise. "And after that he made pizza for dinner. He's really awesome. He was really disappointed that you couldn't stay and talk." Darien felt jealousy rising in him at the man Sammy obviously thought of a father. "Anyway, Raye made some really gross chocolate cake. I almost threw up." "Why did you eat it?" for the first time Sammy seemed to notice Darien. "Mr. Shields? What are you doing in my car?" Darien only shrugged.
"Seemed like a good place to be." Sammy opened his mouth, like he was going to say something, but snapped it shut at the last second. Serena laughed. "We're giving Mr. Shields a ride home, Sammy. Behave yourself." They pulled up to his apartment and he bid them farewell. Sammy crawled into the front seat. "Mom, do you need to tell me something?" he asked slyly, looking at her out of the corner of his eyes. "What?" She turned and stared at him for a moment. "Have you and Mr. Shields been up to something... in my absence." Serena started to choke. "Sammy, if I ever hear you say something like that again, I will was your mouth out with sop. Are we clear?" Sammy slumped in his seat, pouting. "Are we clear?" she asked a little more forcefully. "Like tropical water." He pouted the rest of the way home. The light n the answering machine was blinking, so Sammy pressed the button while Serena hung up their jackets. The first message, no one said anything until it cut off. The second was from Andrew.
"Serena, I know tomorrow was supposed to be your day off, but Lita's not feeling well. Could you cover for her? Call me." Serena pushed her soggy bangs out of her eyes and picked up the cordless. "Go get in the shower." He groaned, but relented without a word at the look she gave him. She dialed Andrew's number and sighed when the answering machine picked up. "Drew, it's Serena. I hope Lita's doing okay. I can come in tomorrow, but I'll have to make some arrangements for a babysitter for Sammy." She hung up, looked at the puddle of water at her feet and sighed. Twenty minutes later Sammy emerged from the bathroom in his pajamas to find her dead asleep on the couch.
"Mom," he whispered, gently shaking her shoulder. "Mom, you have to get into bed." She opened her eyes and smiled at him. "Okay, I'll be there in a minute to tuck you in." He ran into his room and Serena smiled sleepily and picked up her shoes. She tossed them into the hall closet and went into Sammy's room. He was lying on his stomach reading comics. "What's this? Sailor V? Sammy, I feel that its only right that I tell you, no real superhero would wear those shoes saving the world." He grinned and flopped onto his back. "It's only a comic, mom. It's not real." She tucked the blanket around him and kissed his forehead. "I know. No real superhero would wear that skirt either." She turned off the light as she walked out into the hall. "Nigh baby." She walked into her room and threw herself on the bed. She was asleep in minutes.
AN: What do you think? Should I add more about her stalker? Should I add more Darien? Let me know.
