Darien led Serena, into his living room, and then sat down on a couch.

"Sit." he said. It wasn't a command, and yet it wasn't a question either.

Darien got up, left the room, and came back a few minutes later, dressed in nice dry clothes, he then handed Serena a towel, and large shirt, and a pair of pants.

"Here," he said, "Go and change, the bathrooms, right ahead, and on your left."

When Serena came back, in her oversized clothes, she began to feel, very nervous.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Serena's P.O.V.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'What is going on?!?'

I seriously have no idea!

'I thought you left?'

Well, that was then, this is now!

'Ugh...why I outta...'

"We need to talk." said Darien again.

Serena winced inwardly, at his calm tone.

'Why isn't he yelling?' she thought.

"Okay." Serena said. It came out as a whisper.

"Serena...I...um...would you like some hot chocolate?" asked Darien.

Serena have him a weird look, before saying, "Sure!"

'That was weird!'

I agree! Maybe, he caught a fever out that rain, and is delusional!

'Oh no! I sure hope not!'

Meanwhile...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darien's P.O.V.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darien quickly set about, to making the hot chocolate, while restraining not to bump his head repeatedly over the counter.

'Uh...why can't I just tell her what I feel about her!'

Oh...I don't know...maybe because you have an ego the size of Mount Everest, and your afraid of rejection!

'I am not!'

Prove it!

"Fine, I will!" Darien accidentally said aloud!

"You'll what Darien?" asked a very surprised Serena.

"I'll...I'll...add marshmallows, to the hot chocolate!" Darien blurted out.

"Um...okay." responded Serena, hesitantly. By now, Serena was really beginning to wonder, about his sanity.

'Uh..."

Great going! Now she thinks you're crazy!

'Oh give it a rest!'

Well, what happened to the "Fine I will!"

'I'm just waiting for the right time.'

Darien finished making the hot chocolate, and handed a mug to Serena.

"Serena, I..." he mustered all the courage he had.

"You what Darien?" questioned Serena.

"I want you to know, that..." Darien paused.

"What is it Darien?" interrogated a very impatient Serena.

"I really like you Serena!" Darien finally blurted out.

"Really Darien?" asked Serena.

"Uh huh." he replied.

"That's great! I'm sure we'll make the best of friends!" said Serena.

'The best of friends?'

She still doesn't get it! Jeez, I think you should try again.

"Serena, what I meant, was that, I like you, more than a friend, Serena, I've never felt this way before. I feel like we have this connection, this bond. Will you be, my girlfriend?" asked Darien.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So...he finally confessed! What should Serena's response be? Mad? Sad? Happy? Hysterically? I don't know yet, if you guys have any ideas, let me know k? See ya!
