chapter 3: Thursday
AN: Sorry about the long wait everyone. Here is the newest chapter to Be Mine.
Disclaimer: I don't own sailor moon and the others but this story does belong to me.
Serena opened her eyes and yawned. She lay there with a feeling of security and contentment. She groaned as she realized that she would have to leave the comfort of her bed and go to school soon. She attempted to get up but found that she couldn't. Serena looked down to see a masculine hand wrapped firmly around her small waist. Serena's heart began to beat faster as she struggled to turn. With difficulty she turned to face a sleeping ebony haired Adonis. Serena began to panic at the thought of what they may have done.
'Calm down Serena. Take a deep breath.' Serena mentally instructed herself. 'Think. What is the last thing you remember?' Serena searched her memory for last nights events. 'The last thing I remember is we were watching movies and...I kissed him but nothing more, so I don't understand why I'm still here. There's only one way to find out what happened and that is to ask Darien."
"Darien. Darien." Serena called shaking him slightly but he did not awake.
"Having trouble waking him up?" a voice asked from the other end of the sofa. The owner of the voice came into view.
"Jordan." Serena said. There was no mistake about it, he had the same features as Darien but instead of black hair and blue eyes he had chocolate brown locks and green eyes.
"So you've heard about me." Jordan flashed Serena a dimpled smile. "You want to know how to wake him?" he asked.
Serena nodded. "It's simple, kiss him."
"What?" Serena hissed.
"I've never seen my brother fall for anyone like he's fallen for you. He's crazy about you."
"He's crazy about me?" Serena asked.
"Don't act so surprised gorgeous, he never stops talking about you. Nothing would wake him up more than a kiss from you. Heck! A kiss from you would wake him up from a coma."
Serena looked tenderly at the ebony haired man and covered his lips with hers softly at first and deeper when she felt him respond. Serena pulled away.
"Mmm...I'd like to wake up to that every morning." he said, focusing his stormy blue eyes on the blond angel.
"Well unless you have some answers for me you won't ever feel that again." Serena stated.
"Did I do something wrong?" Darien asked as confusion flickered through his stormy blue eyes.
"I'm not sure. What happed last night?"
"What?" Darien asked pushing himself up to a sitting position. He looked around and everything seemed to register. They were still on the sofa in the living room but it was pulled out to the sofa bed. Jordan stood at the foot of the bed smiling impishly at Darien.
"Yeah Darien what happened?" he asked.
Darien gave his brother a piercing glare then he shifted his gaze to the expectant blond. "You fell asleep while we were watching the movies and I tried to wake you but I couldn't get you to wake up so I looked in the phone book and found your friend Mina Aino's number. I called her and had her call your parents to say that you were spending the night with her. And then I guess I fell asleep." Darien summarized.
"Thank god." Serena sighed.
Darien's eyes flickered with realization. "You didn't think that we had...you know?" Darien asked.
"It doesn't matter what I thought. The point is we didn't and we have to get ready for school. But what am I going to wear?" Serena asked looking down at her wrinkled clothing.
"That's taken care of. I told Mina to bring you some clothes in the morning. I just don't know if she's left them yet." Darien said.
"Right here." Jordan said holding up an orange duffle bag.
Serena grabbed the bag and unzipped it. "I'm really going to have to thank-" The words died on her lips as she saw the contents and the note on top. "Scratch that I'm going to kill her." Serena said, managing to keep her voice steady as she reached for the note. It said:
Serena,
Darien explained everything to me. *wink* You go girl! Here is some clothing that he is sure to enjoy!
Mina
"Oh he'll enjoy them alright." Serena mumbled sarcastically to herself.
"What's that?" Darien asked reaching for the note. Serena quickly hid the note behind her back.
"N-nothing." Serena stammered. She quickly got to her feet grabbing the duffle bag and headed toward the bathroom. Serena stopped and smiled sheepishly. "Where is the bathroom?"
"Second door on the left gorgeous." Jordan replied. Serena disappeared down the hallway into the bathroom, leaving the two brothers to themselves.
There was silence between the two before Jordan spoke.
"So that's the honey I hear non-stop about. It's no wonder why, she's hot!" Jordan said with a grin.
"There's more to attraction than looks Jordan." Darien replied. "And I'd appreciate it if you'd stop flirting with my girlfriend and talking about her as if she's just a pretty face. She's more than that, she's a great girl to be around, she's smart and fun and there's so much more to her than her looks and I love her so back off."
~~~
Serena stood at the end of the hallway listening to Darien's proclamation. She smiled and felt her heart melt. She could feel it happening all over again, she had promised herself that she wouldn't fall again for someone after what had happened last time yet she felt herself falling for Darien. Despite his reputation of being a heartbreaking playboy Serena had learned that he wasn't really like that. He was kind and considerate. As each day passed she felt herself falling for him more and more, and hearing Jordan say that Darien was crazy about her and that he had never seen Darien fall for anyone the way he did for her and then hearing Darien say that he loved her, she knew that she had completely fallen for Darien.
Serena took a deep breath, in attempt to steady her pounding heart before entering the living room. "Darien?" the blond asked tentatively. The ebony haired man turned and his jaw dropped. Serena heard Jordan give a wolf whistle, earning him a dirty look from Darien. Serena smiled. "So I take it as I don't look as horrible as I thought." Serena said grinning.
"You look-You look great!" Darien exclaimed, getting up and taking Serena's hand.
"That's good to know." Serena said. "But I'm still going to get Mina for giving me clothes that she knows I hate to wear." Serena said, referring to the pink baby-tee that cut off half-way showing her stomach and the short denim skirt. "Not to mention all the attention I'll get for wearing this."
Without a word Darien disappeared into the next room and came out holding his letterman jacket. "Just so any other guys don't get any ideas; I would like you to wear my letterman jacket." Darien said handing Serena the black and blue jacket, while looking pointedly at his brother.
"Thanks." she said accepting the jacket. She turned the jacket around and saw the the name D. Shields was clearly written on the back. "Protective much?" Serena asked smiling.
"I just want to make sure that no other guy gets any ideas." Darien said. "So let's get going." Darien said heading toward the door.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Serena asked arching an eyebrow.
Darien paused. "Like what?"
"Like your clothes." Serena said. Darien looked down at his wrinkled clothes.
Darien shook his head. "I can't believe I forgot." he said. Darien turned. "I'll be back in a minute." Darien said as he raced up the stairs.
~~School~~
Serena walked self-consciously down the hallway to her locker; she felt eyes on her and turned to see half of the school's male population staring at her, drool forming at the corners of some of their mouths. Serena turned back and continued to her locker. She received wolf whistles as she reached her locker. Serena tugged at the hem of her skirt before spinning the dial on her lock.
Darien had headed off in the opposite direction saying that he had to make some calls about plans for tonight and that he'd be back soon before disappearing, leaving Serena to travel to her locker alone. Serena silently wished that he'd hurry up and come back. Serena sighed and grabbed her books when she felt a strong arm wrap around her waist. Serena let out a little shriek. "You scared me. I was just thinking...and you just...never mind."
"Miss me?" Darien whispered into her ear, sending shivers down Serena's back.
"Maybe..." Serena looked to the side and saw the eyes of most of the student body on them. "We have an audience." Serena whispered into Darien's ear.
"So?"
"So let's give them a show." Serena said, tilting her head up to meet Darien's lips. She put her arms around Darien's neck and pulled him closer. She intensified the kiss, her tongue entering his mouth and exploring the inner regions of his mouth. She heard hooting and hollering as the two broke apart. Serena grabbed Darien's hand and wrapped it around her waist as the two walked off leaving behind a group of envious boys and girls.
One girl in particular stood in the shadows, glowering at Serena's retreating form. 'He will be mine.' she thought. 'I'll get rid of you, you blond ditz and then he'll be mine!'
~~that night~~
Serena sucked in her breath as Darien's porche pulled up in front of a fancy looking restaurant. "This...this is where you're taking me?" Serena asked, finding her voice.
"Why not?" Darien asked.
"This explains the dress." Serena said fingering the blue silk dress that she was wearing. After school Darien had handed her a neatly wrapped box and told her to wear it for their date tonight. When she had opened the box and saw the blue silk dress she had wondered what Darien had in store for her and this explained it all.
Darien got out and hurried to Serena's door and opened it for her, he extended his hand to her and she accepted it. He handed the valet his keys and the two walked into the restaurant.
~~~~
"You didn't have to." Serena protested, as Darien handed Serena a bouquet of roses that he bought from the waiter.
"I wanted to." Darien said.
Serena brought the roses to her nose and inhaled their light fragrance. "Thanks." she said. '"I hope I can find an empty vase at home to put them, seeing as all the roses I received from you earlier this week took up a lot of them. What is it with you and red roses anyway?" Darien frowned. "Not that it isn't sweet of you." Serena put in fast.
"Why red roses?" Darien repeated. Serena nodded. "Roses are the symbol of romance and red roses are the symbol for love." Serena sucked in her breath as she heard Darien's next words. "And I love you." Even though she had heard him say it earlier to Jordan she was still a little shocked to hear him tell her that especially after they had only met earlier that week.
"I wish I could say the same right now, but I'm not really sure how I feel. I know that I like you but I just don't know if I love you yet-" Serena began.
Darien held up his hand. "You don't have to explain yourself."
Serena smiled. Just then the waiter came to their table. "Your check, sir." he said handing the check to Darien.
Serena got up from the chair. "I think I'll just go freshen up while you pay the bill." She said as she headed toward the ladies room.
~~~
"Darien." a silk voice purred from behind Darien. Darien cringed at the voice.
"What do you want Samantha?" Darien asked turning to face the brunette. Samantha batted her eyelashes innocently.
"All I want is you and it to be like old times." Samantha said, grabbing Darien's arm.
Darien pried Samantha's hand of his arm and she pouted. "I have a girlfriend Sam. Whatever you and I had before is long over so move on, I have."
"You mean that blond ditz, I've seen you with!" Samantha sneered.
"Don't you dare talk about Serena that way! She's my girlfriend." Darien yelled.
Samantha's tone changed. "Don't get upset Dare. I just want it to be like old times. Just you and me." Samantha said trailing a finger down his jawline. She wrapped her arms around Darien's neck and before he knew it her lips were covering his.
~~~
Serena was humming as she walked back into the main part of the restaurant. She stopped dead in her tracks and let out a gasp. There was Darien kissing another girl shamelessly in front of everyone. "No!" Serena cried. Darien pulled away from the girl.
"Serena I can explain!" Darien said.
"Come on Dare, you should stop lying to her and tell her about us." Samantha said.
"What?" Darien said.
"I thought you were different but you're not. I took a chance and I fell for you. I hoped that you were different but you're apparently not." Serena said tears streaming down her face.
"Serena-" Darien began placing a hand on the blonds arm. She shook it off.
"Don't touch me! Don't come near me ever again because I never want to see your lying face ever again!" Serena yelled before running out of the restaurant...
