One week had passed, since the incident with Seiya only the people who needed to know got told of what happened, otherwise it was in the past. Serena had finally been released from the hospital due to her rapid recovery, with Darien along her side they managed to keep Seiya locked in jail for life…and it seems that everything is back on track. And now, the only thing that could stand in their way of becoming husband and wife, was the bachelor and hens parties, ready to take place two nights before the actual wedding.
"Hey girl…where are we having your hens night?' "Oh I…I haven't even thought about it. All that's been on my mind is Darien and I saying our vows…"
"But Serena, doesn't it even interest you to see a really good-looking guy stripe right in front of us!"
"Yeah, I mean…not to mention you could learn some pointers for your wedding night…"
"Well…I…hey shut up!"
"Oh Serena, we're only playing with you…" Lita replied as Mina, Serena and herself cracked up in laughter
"This, has been fun…don't you think?" Serena asked, as the three of them began to part to their cars
"It sure was…oh, Serena…" Mina began – "…I love you…" – giving a big bear hug
"Um, I love you too…but what's all this about" she replied, glancing at both Mina and Lita
"It's nothing really…" – "Yeah, nothing…just a little to…"
"Sssshhhhh" mina responded quickly covering Lita's mouth
"You'll ruin the surprise"
"What surprise? You…two, better not be…"
"C'mon Mina, she'll find out sooner or later…"
"NO! We can't. And besides I promised Andrew that I wouldn't blurt it out…unlike you, who almost did!"
"Mina, Lita!" Serena spoke, flickering her puppy dog eyes
"Oh, Serena…don't look at me like tha…no! I can't. Sorry…you'll just have to wait until tomorrow night…" Lita suggested, starting to walk off
"Fine…well, I guess I will then…"
"Whoa! That car…he, I mean Darien actually let you drive his car!"
"Yeah, well I'm not that bad at driving…and well when we get married it'll be half mine anyway…"
"Our lucky to have such a nice guy like Darien, Serena…oh, ok gotta go…I'll see you tomorrow, bye Serena"
"Bye Mina, bye Lita…love you"
"Love you too, bye!" – Lita replied, as the three of them drove in their different directions
"Your finally home" Darien greeted, happily rushing to his beloved – as Serena slowly walked into their apartment
"And you, look even more handsome then when I last saw you..." she replied, as Darien quickly kissed her
"So did you have fun?" he asked, putting the kettle on
"Yeah, it was alright…I think they're planning something like a girls night out or something for me…"
"That'll be fun though won't it!"
"It should be, Lita might be organizing a striper but I'm not sure…but hey it should be fun!"
"A…a…striper…well, I…" he stuttered, placing their mugs of coffee on the table, sitting next to Serena
"Wha…I, I didn't upset you did I?" "No…no, it's just…it's stupid but, I guess I'm jealous…"
"Jealous? Why?"
"Well, because…you'll probably get to see this striper…"
"Oh! I…I hope not" she replied, blushing a beet red
"Serena…its o.k. Really, as long as he can keep his hands off my girl…then it will be alright…I guess" – wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her close, while sucking on her neck gently
"(Giggle)…Dar…Darien…" – she laughed
"Hmmmm…" – "You love it…" he continued, slowly moving his hands around to the font of her lacy, blue blouse
Two hours had passed, the sun was setting with a crisp breeze flowing – and without even realizing it. Darien and Serena had managed to move from the living room and to the bedroom. Fumbling with Serena's buttons on her blouse, Darien started to started to caress over her revealing pink bra, moving his lower to her soft, cream white breast – when suddenly she began to regain her self-control – "Darien, wait…" moving from under his weight – "We…we can't"
"I know, I know…its o.k. I just…can't keep my hands off you…"
"I'm, I'm sorry"
"Oh Serena, I told you it was alright…I know you want to wait until we're married, I want us to as well… you don't need to apologize…I'll still love you no matter what"
"And…I'll love you…" she replied, gently kissing him before heading to the kitchen
"Um Serena…" Darien called, following her to the kitchen
"Yeah"
"What are you going to cook us? Because, well to be honest…I've never actually seen you cook…well anything"
"Hey! I can cook, some things"
"Like?"
"Um…well, I can…no I always burn that…" she mumbled, concentrating on the tile pattern on the floor – "Well, I can't tell you at this moment. But I can cook!"
"Why don't we just get take out?" Darien suggested
"(Sigh)…fine…" she answered, grabbing her denim jacket and heading out of the door
They came back around 9 o'clock that night, after having delicious cheese food – Serena felt exhausted, throwing her clothes on the floor of their bedroom and quickly putting her slipware on – she soon fell in a deep sleep.
"Goodnight…my love…" Darien whispered, falling asleep shortly after her
"Serena…Serena wake up." Darien whispered, then next morning
"(Moan)…oohhh Darien…" she mumbled, half asleep
"Serena!" he repeated more sternly
"What!" finally awake
"Good morning my dearest…"
"Oh, you woke me for that!" she replied, covering her face with the sheets, trying to get back to sleep
"But Ser…"
"Sssshhhhh…I'm asleep now…" she interrupted
"Oh, that's a shame…Serena's breakfast will go cold"
"Breakfast!" she shrieked, suddenly jumping out of bed
"(Laughs) I knew that would work" Darien thought to himself, following Serena out to the dining room
"Um…Darien…" Serena began, between mouthfuls of sausage and toast – "Did you cook this just for me?"
"Of coarse I did…who else would I do that for…and well also to get you up…"
"And why would you want to do that?"
"Well, I wanted you up, because if I let you lay in my bed…I, I don't know if I could trust myself if I even happened to glanced at your sleeping beauty, incase I made some form of movement towards your gleaming figure…"
it finally came to quarter to six that evening, and Serena was frantic about how she looked as usual
"Serena…stop worring, you look beautiful…"
"Darien, you always say that, but thank you"
KNOCK, KNOCK
"I'll get it…" Serena replied, opening the door to fin Lira, Mina, Raye and Amy all standing there smiling, while already holding 'Bacardi Breezers' in their hands
"Hey babe, are you ready?" Raye asked, handing Serena a bottle of her own
"Thanks. Yeah, lets go girls.." – "Bye sweetie" kissing Darien before walking down the hallway, with the others
"Don't worry, we'll have her back in your arms when the nights over…Bye Darien"
"See ya…" he replied, hearing the sound of high pitched laughter as he slowly closed the door
"So, where are we going first?" Serena asked, as they all got in Mina's orange lancer.
"Well, we'll first go get some food…and then, lingerie shopping" Amy answered
"Cool!"
it took them around 20 minuets to decide on an actual take-away to eat, but finally Serena chose some 'Chicken ala' King'. When finished, they all soon headed off to their next destination – "Lingerie for Ladies'.
"Wow! I've never been here before" Serena said, with a tone of excitement
"Really? This is probably the place where Darien got that se for you…" mina replied, parking the car right in front of the little shop
the lights were on, the staff was ready, the lingerie was waiting and Serena…the prize of them all was eagerly waiting with a gleaming smile upon her face
"We're ready now. you may some in" an alder woman greeted – walking them through the many different designs and outfits to be worn as sleep-ware.
Serena
received as much help as she wanted, trying on all the pieces she
thought looked great, and others that would make Darien want
her…bad!
"I think it suits you…" Amy
conveyed
"Yeah, and I bet Darien would like it too" Lita agreed
"Hmmm, but…I don't know…do you think it's a bit to much?"
"What! Are you crazy, this is your wedding night we're talking about…and besides I'd die if I would be able to ear it!" Raye shrieked
"Oh, alright…" we'll take this set as well.." Serena ordered
"O.k. that's one ' Red as rose'- lace set, and one 'Nurses outfit'. Is there anything else today ladies?"
"Hmmm, no…I think that's all…"
"O.k. well the two sets work out to be $184…"
"(Gasp)…are you serious?" Serena asked
"Why yes…there both made by our top brand, the most expensive too"
"Go on Serena…you never treat yourself to this sort of thing"
"Yes, but Lita – I've never been getting married to really have any need too"
"Serena, you look gorgeous. You should buy them" mina pushed
"Oh, alright…um…credit…" Serena said, handing her credit card to the cashier
By the time they all had finished in the lingerie shop, they went to get some ice0cream before heading to Darien's apartment.
"I'll have mango. What do you want Serena?" Lita asked, as the other three went to get the ice creams
"Oh…(Sigh)…I guess I'll have chocolate" she replied
"hey Serena…whats wrong? You've been quiet ever since we left the lingerie shop" Lita asked, sitting next to her friend
"It's nothing really…I guess you could say…that I'm…I'm scared…" Serena stuttered, quickly wiping a tear glistening down her flushed pink cheeks
"Serena…what should you be scared about? Your getting married to the perfect man of your dreams – who loves you more then any person could possibly love another person. And it shows that you sure feel the same for him…"
I know…we both love each other deeply, it's just…well, when we're on our honeymoon…tha, that's the part…"
"Oh, I understand…but you know Serena, sex is a wonderful, emotional, physical thing…it proves that the couple's love can last forever…and well, it feels good too"
"Hmmm, but iheard that it'll hurt"
"Well, it's different for everyone…but if it doesn hurt for you, just relax…let Darien know what your feeling during that time…and it Darien truly does love you, he'll understand, and well, go steady…or at least for that moment anyway…until you get used to it" Lita joked, as the others finally came back with their ice-creams
"Thanks Lita"
"No, problem, that's what friends are for right?"
shortly after finishing their deserts, they started to head back to the car.
"Hey Serena…"
"Yeah"
"You know that you and Darien are getting married in less then two days now" Raye asked, getting into the car
"I know… we can hardly wait!"
"Yes well, you know that you can't really stay with Darien that last night before the wedding, you know…tomorrow night!"
"Hmmm…but that's sort of a problem…"
"Why?" Amy asked
"Well, I don't really have a place of my own…so I don't know where I could stay?"
"If that's the only problem Serena, then why don't you come stay with one of us…" Lita suggested
"Yeah! You could, and then…the day of the wedding we can help you get ready, you know the drill.."
"…make up, hair, wax…all that" Raye interrupted
"Wax!" Serena shrieked
"Yep! Well your going to, for your wedding night"
"Alright fine…but…where do I stay tomorrow night?"
"Hmmm…how about my place?" Mina asked
"Are you sure? I mean, I don't want to intrude or anything…"
"Of coarse you can! Your our best friend, it's our duty to look after you whenever we can…I mean, once your married to Darien. it'll be his duty too, not ours…"
"Unless, he hurts you in any way, then we'll kick his ass for you!" Raye enthused
"Yeah, what Raye said" Amy began – "…and you won't have as much time for us, once little Serena and Darien's start running around…"
"Little Serena and Darien's?" Serena asked, confused
"You do want children don't you Serena?"
"Oh…of coarse I do!" she replied – "It's just…I've never actually spoke to Darien about it…"
"Maybe you should. I don't think he'd hate the idea…he'd be a grwat father too" Raye suggested
"Here we are…" Mina said
"Oh thanks for a great night…" Serena replied, getting out of the car slowly
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning…probably around 9" Mina said softly
"Yeah, so make sure you're up Serena!" Raye joked
"(giggle)…I will…bye guys"
"Bye Serena…we love you!" the four shouted, as they drove away
"Kids…I'd really like a baby girl…oohhh but a a boy would be nice too…" Serena thoughts, gradually climbing to the elevator – "And our wedding night…I hope Darien will be gently…oh Darien, my love…"
the next day, Mina had arrived like she said she would, but unlike Serena…she had slept in! having to tip a jug of water over her head to wake her, Mina packed what she needed, said their goodbyes to Darien, and drove back to her place.
That final day before her wedding seemed to last forever, when finally it hit dusk…and the rest of the girls had arrived for next morning…
"Goodnight Serena…" Lita greeted, after their long night of organizing.
"Goodnight," she replied as her eyes became heavy as she gazed into a peaceful sleep – waiting for the morning to come…
