AN: *cringes* I know I said I would have this chapter out soon and I apologize for making you all wait this long for it but here it is...I hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own sailor moon and the others but this story does belong to me.
Darien and Serena inched forward, their lips just centimeters away. Serena felt his breath on her lips. Suddenly coming back to reality Serena jerked her head away, her heart pounding wildly against her rib cage. 'I can't believe I almost did that. I can't believe I almost kissed him!' she scolded herself. Serena turned her head to see midnight blue eyes fixed on her. She felt herself being hypnotized by his eyes again, they held a deep wanting and hunger for her. "Get off." the blond said, afraid of what she might do if he continued to look at her like that. Darien got up slowly and extended a hand to Serena.
"Geeze how much do you weigh." Darien grunted as he applied more force to help her up. That earned him a dirty look from Serena.
"Not as much as you." she replied as she began walking back to the picnic. "You were squishing me down there."
"Like you didn't love having me on top of you." Darien said with a smirk, causing Serena to turn as red as a tomato.
"Can we get away from that subject?" Serena asked. Darien opened his mouth to say something when Serena cut him off. "Not that either." she replied as she sat down on the blanket, knowing very well that he was going to bring up the almost kiss. Darien continued to stare at the blond as she began sorting out the contents from the basket. "What?" she asked finally not able to take it anymore. Darien smiled. "Oh now you're creeping me out! Stop that!" Serena cried as Darien crouched like an animal ready to pounce. Darien jumped and landed lightly on Serena, much like he had before.
"Aren't you curious how it would be?" he whispered in a husky voice.
Slowly Serena wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his head closer until he was an inch away. His breathing was rapid as he anticipated the kiss. "Not really." she said startling Darien who thought she was going to kiss him. Serena pushed him away with a smirk on her face. "Bet you didn't see that one coming, did you playboy?"
~Wednesday~
Serena slowly opened her eyes and inhaled a deep fragrance of roses. 'It must be from the bouquet from yesterday.' she thought as he lay in bed thinking over yesterday's events. She had learned a lot more about Darien and his life. She had learned that he had a brother named Jordan who was a year older than him and the two brothers were alone most of the time. Although there were the maids and butlers to look after them their parents were never around. They always were to busy with making more money . You would expect that Jordan and him would resent their parents frequent absence but they enjoyed it because that meant they were free to do what they wished. Serena had to admit that she would be lonely if she didn't have her parents around much but he seemed to enjoy it.
Serena stayed in bed a few more minutes' contemplating over the previous days events, she hadn't known much about Darien before but now she did and what she knew, intrigued her to learn more about him. Beneath that playboy exterior was a pretty good guy, a guy she wanted...to get to know.
Serena lazily swung her legs over the side of the bed. The blond yawned and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She let out a sharp gasp as she looked around her room. Her room was filled with red roses. 'He's so...sweet," Serena thought reluctantly with a shake of her head. 'I've got to admit Playboy knows how to treat a girl. Starlights, romantic picnic, dozens of roses, I wonder what's next?'
~School~
Serena turned her head in every direction, looking for a certain ebony haired man. She spotted him at his locker, where else? Serena stood across the hallway, watching as he placed his backpack in his locker and pulled out the books he needed, his arm muscles flexing beneath his deep blue shirt. Serena couldn't help but think how it matched his eyes perfectly, those deep, intense, you could drown in, eyes.
'I should thank him for the roses,' Serena thought as she crossed the hallway and came up from behind Darien. Without a second thought about what she was going to do, Serena wrapped her slender arms around his waist and pressed herself against him. She leaned forward on her tiptoes and whispered into his ear, "Hello there."
The blond felt Darien stiffen and then without warning he whirled around, knocking her off balance, causing her to land on her backside. "I told you, I have a girlfr-" The rest of Darien's sentence died on his lips as his eyes rested on Serena's face in utter shock. The girl's arms who had been around him a second ago had been Serena's. Without a word Darien extended a hand to help Serena up. Serena looked cautiously at his hand before accepting it.
Serena brushed herself off before giving Darien a dirty look. "What was that for?!" Serena demanded.
"I thought you were some other girl that won't leave me alone, I'm sorry." Darien said giving Serena an apologetic smile.
"Oh." Serena said with a tinge of jealously in her voice, that Darien didn't quite catch.
"My turn to ask the questions now," Darien said. "Why were your arms wrapped around me and you were whispering in my ear like that?" Darien asked, cocking an eyebrow. Darien watched as Serena turned three shades of red.
'Oh damn!' Serena mentally cursed. 'I was going to kiss him!! What was I thinking?!' Serena mentally scolded herself.
A little voice in the back of her mind spoke up, Because he's been so sweet to you, he's so sexy, and caring, and not like other guys.
'Who asked you?!' Serena yelled, silencing the voice. "I-I a-am your girlfriend, I am entitled to thank my boyfriend especially when he sends me a room full of roses," Serena stammered.
Darien stamped his foot in frustration. "You were going to thank me by kissing me, weren't you?" Darien said realizing that he had blown his chance by being kissed by Serena big time.
"Possibly. I don't know what I was thinking..." Serena trailed off, and truely she did not know what had possessed her to almost do such a thing except--no she would not even think it that...maybe she was beginning to have feelings for him. 'I have only known him for a day, i-it's just not possible to have feelings for someone this soon.' she told herself.
"So how did you get all those roses into my room?" Serena asked changing the subject.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." Darien replied, giving Serena a mysterious smile.
"And how am I supposed to do that?"
Darien leaned against the lockers with his arms crossed. "You could always bribe me."
"Bribe you how?" Serena watched as a sly smile graced Darien's lips. "Forget it, I'm not kissing you."
Darien's smile faltered a moment before he replied. "Then how about telling me that excuse you used on Mr. Handel yesterday?"
For the second time that morning a blush covered Serena's face. "In that case, I guess I really don't need to know how you got into my room. Oh look at the time, I need to get to class." Serena said looking down at her watch and turned to leave.
"We have the same first period. I'll walk you." Darien said grabbing Serena's hand and then wrapping his arm around her waist.
~~~~~In front of Darien's house~~~~~
Serena gazed up in awe at the massive white brick mansion that lay only a few feet in front of her. She knew he was rich but playboy was living large! "You are not impressed. You are not impressed." Serena repeated to herself as she pressed the door bell and composed herself so that she didn't look the slightest bit impressed of Darien's house, treating it like it was any other house although that was far from true.
The blond wasn't quite sure what Darien had in store for her, all he had told her was to come to his house at four because he had something to take care of first. Serena heard the turning of a lock and the door swung open revealing a weary looking Darien. As soon as he saw Serena his face lit up with a huge smile.
"What? No butler?" Serena asked with a teasing smile.
Darien chuckled. "Nope, I gave him the day off." Darien said shaking his head. "Come in." he said ushering the blond inside.
Serena slowly drank in the interior. It was every bit as magnificent as the outside with expensive furniture and the works. Serena felt Darien's eyes on her and it took all her will power to not to let her jaw drop.
"Let me give you the grand tour." Darien said with a sweep of his arm. Serena followed. Darien started with the current room, the living room, and continued until he had shown her the game room, the indoor swimming pool, indoor Jacuzzi, six bedrooms, (including his own) study, gym, and the game room each more extraordinary than the previous.
All the while Serena kept mentally reciting 'I'm not impressed.' That is until she saw the game room. 'Oh heck! Who am I kidding? I'm definitely impressed.' This room had every game possible. Pin ball machine, pool table, basketball throwing game (AN: Sorry I don't know the name to that one), a big screen TV with a PS2 and loaded with games Serena loved to play.
Darien led Serena back to the living room. "So what do you have planned for us?" Serena asked.
"I was thinking that we would watch some movies but..." Darien trailed off. "I saw how much you liked the game room so maybe we should play some games and then watch the movies. Sound good?" Darien asked flashing Serena a smile.
"Was I that obvious?" Serena asked rubbing the back of her head sheepishly.
" Oh yeah." Darien said wrapping his arm around Serena and leading her back to the game room.
~~~~~1 1/2 Hours later~~~~~
"Yes! I beat you again!" Serena cried in triumph. Darien just smiled.
"I think we should go watch those movies now. I don't think I can handle having my butt kicked again in another game."
Serena stood up from the sofa. "I thought you said and I quote 'I'm the champion of the Sailor V game, no one can beat me.' What happened?" Serena asked with a playful smile.
"Apparently you. I thought I was good but you're awesome." Darien said as he once again led Serena back to the living room.
"I guess all that practice at the arcade paid off." Serena said plopping on the sofa. "So what movies are we watching?"
Darien pulled out a tape from under the entertainment system. "I was thinking we would watch The Ring, Chuckie 1 and Casa Blanca."
"I saw your scary movie theme up until you got to Casa Blanca. What's with that?"
"Hey Casa Blanca is an excellent movie. Besides after two scary movies I figured you would like something mellow." Darien said with a smirk.
"You think I can't handle those two movies without getting scared and screaming. Is that what you're implying?" Serena asked arching an eyebrow in challenge.
"Well..." Darien began.
"Well I bet you that I can go through those two movies without screaming."
"Bet me what?" Darien asked.
"Hmmm..." Serena went into deep thought. "A k-kiss." Serena finally stammered out. 'Why the heck did I just bet him a kiss?! I guess that was the only thing I could think of for some reason. There's no way he's going to win.' Serena reassured herself. 'I'll make sure of it!'
"It's a deal." Darien said with a huge grin covering his face. Darien sat down next to Serena as the movie began.
~~~a little while later~~~
True to her word Serena did not scream during the whole movie, instead she clutched a sofa pillow and squeezed the life out of it. By the end of The Ring the pillow lay as limply as a rag doll in her hands. Darien tried to hide the smile that was tugging at the sides of his mouth as he changed the video to Chuckie 1.
'If that video scared her this one will terrify her and she'll lose her bet and I will get what I want.' Darien thought as he sat back down next to Serena.
~~~30 minutes later~~~
Serena let out a shriek and dove for Darien, burying her face in his shirt. She felt herself inhaling his deep fragrance of mint and rose petals and she slowly began to relax. Memories of the bet she made earlier came flooding back and she stiffened. 'Oh no! I can't believe I lost.' Serena mentally groaned. She lifted her face from his chest and looked up at Darien who was looking smiling.
It wasn't a smile of 'I won the bet and you owe me a kiss kind of smile' it was a comforting kind of smile. Darien rubbed her back reassuringly and Serena laid her head on Darien's chest. During the rest of the movie Serena, for some reason unknown to her, was not as frightened as she was earlier.
'I don't know what it is. I guess I just feel...safe with him.' Serena thought as the movie ended. "I guess I owe you a kiss, huh?" Serena said.
"Forget the whole thing." Darien said getting up to put the next video in.
"What?" Serena asked puzzled as she sat up. "Why?"
"More than anything I want to kiss you but I did some thinking during that movie and I don't want you to kiss me because of a bet. I guess I just don't want you to kiss me because you feel like you have to, I want you to kiss me because you want to." He paused. "I sound really dorky don't I?" Darien asked.
"It's not dorky, it's really sweet." Serena said, her words sincere.
"Thanks." Darien said sitting back on the sofa.
The movie began and the two were silent. Halfway through the movie Serena felt her eyelids become heavy and her head began to droop, and it landed on something firm; a minute later she had drifted off to sleep.
Darien heard the blonds breathing slow and looked down at the golden angel in his arms. He ran his hands through her golden tresses and then against her cool, smooth face. He wished that she would always close to him.
When she was awake, at times, she seemed to have this shield around her, never letting you know how she would react to certain things. It was so frustrating not knowing how she would react yet...he liked it. With other girls he had known how they would react, an open and closed book you could say, so pretty soon he was bored with them but with Serena... she kept him guessing.
The blond mumbled something incoherently and smiled in her sleep causing Darien to look down at her. He kissed her forehead lightly and leaned back to watch the rest of the movie when the blond lifted her head up from his chest.
"Darien?" She asked sleepily.
Darien looked at her startled. She had actually called him Darien not playboy as she had always referred to him as before but Darien. "Yes?" he choked out.
"I have something for you." Serena mumbled as she leaned in toward him, her lips pressing against his. At first Darien was too shocked to respond but then his lips moved in sync with hers. Serena was the first to pull away, ending their sweet kiss.
"W-what was that for?"
"You said you wanted me to kiss you when I wanted to and I wanted to kiss you..." Serena slurred before falling back asleep in Darien's arms.
