"Holy SHIT Lita...I have to go back to work tomorrow, " Serena whined. Lita and Serena walked to a shopping center close to the school.

"Yeah I know. But hey, at least they let you take a few days of sick leave. That was nice of them."

"Yeah, I guess so. But you'd wanna take sick leave too if you worked at a hotel."

"Well hey, lets not stress about it. We're going shopping!"

"True."

They walked up to a lavish store full of gorgeous dresses. They felt like kids in candy store. The afternoon was filled with "Oh Lita look at this one!" and "Oh Serena, check this out!"

Serena with Lita's help finally decided on the perfect deep red evening gown. The slit came to little above mid-thigh. It was a beautiful strapless A-line. It was ankle length. Perfect. Then the challenge of shoes came.

"Oh Lita, these are beautiful..." Serena immediately spotted diamond studded dark red open toed pumps. "Serena those are just the right look for you!"

The girls purchased the beautiful items and started their journey to Serena's apartment.

"So Sere, how was it..," Lita seemed to ask out of nowhere.

"What?"

"SEX!"

"Oh...heh heh..it was...," she stammered,

"Be honest"

"Oh Lita it was so great. Doing it with Darien Shields made it feel so good. He's so gorgeous. Think about it, very muscular, cobalt blue eyes, jet black hair, tan, strong jaw, he's just beautiful! Oh, and for a little while when we did it, it felt a little kinky gettin' on with my teacher who has a big...talent!"

The girls erupted in laughter.

"Well Serena, I'm glad you're happy."

"Thanks for being so supportive, Lita. I'll try not to worry about getting me and him into trouble."

As they reached their destination, the girls hugged and parted their own ways.

Serena excitedly began to prepare for the night. She heard bustling in her lover's room and decided to go snoop. She walked out of her glass doors She was barefoot in her new dress and shivering because she had nothing else on, not to mention a wet head from a previous shower.

He was so cute. Bustling about and arguing with himself on how to dress. He was so sexy in anything. But most of all, he was sexy wearing nothing...

Serena crept back to her apartment and finished decking herself out. Which in fact, she did a very good job of. When Darien finally saw her, he had to stop his jaw from dropping. Her long blonde locks were in gentle curls. He scoped down and noticed her perfect breasts and hour glass figure. He got a teasing view of her legs because of the high slit. The diamond studded shoes even made her feet look sexy. He noticed her face was adorned with light makeup--very beautiful--but her neck and hands were adorned with nothing. He felt flash of anger. Darien's woman should be dripping in diamonds or pearls..whichever she preferred. Unfortunately, Serena couldn't afford it. He made a mental note.

"Oh Darien! You look...so...handsome..."

He was decked in an all black suit with a red necktie. He felt it so amazing that she never once referenced her own looks to be vain. She was so selfless.

"Well, my dear, let's catch the Limousine."

"Limousine? Oh Darien, you didn't..."

"For you, yes."

She blushed as he took her by the hand and led her down the hallway, and out of the building.

As they slid into the Limo, Darien told the driver his plans. On the way to the restaurant he closed the window to the back of the Limo and proceeded to woo his date.

"Serena, would you like some champagne?"

"Well, I would but...I'm not old enough..."

"Nonsense. Here you are darling."

He expertly poured her a glass and handed it to her, followed by handing her a strawberry.

"It helps to bring out the flavor of the Champagne," he explained.

"Mmmm!" he loved to hear her enjoying sounds...

He poured and drank a glass himself.

After they had emptied their glasses, they discarded them and Darien made his move.

"Serena...you're so..sexy tonight. I love you naked, I love you with clothes on, so either way you make me so hot."

She blushed once more. He began to nip at her ear sending shivers down her spine.

"Serena.." he breathed into her ear. Tonight was the night to seduce and charm her, rather than it be the other way around. He wanted to give her the world. To please her. He snaked his hand around her waist and pulled her to him. "Tonight is yours." and with that, he kissed her so passionately, that she whimpered with pleasure. He felt the blood flow south as he pressed against her body. Unfortunately, his lower regions would have to wait. The driver stopped the Limousine and opened the door.

Darien tipped the man and escorted his beautiful date into Antonio's. Darien reserved a candle lit dinner for two on the roof. They ate in complete privacy, save for the waiters of course.

"Oh Darien, this is wonderful! Thank you so much!"

"Anything for you, Serena."

They ordered their dishes and awaited them patiently. Conversation struck.

"Serena? I'm looking into buying the old Yamo place."

"Darien..that house is huge! It's two stories with a pool, and big big yard and lovely outdoor patio and.."

"I know. How do you know?"

"The Yamo's were related to Lita before they passed on. I visited there once or twice."

"Oh. Well, I'm looking into it heavily. I love the style and it's perfect."

"For what?"

"You."

She almost dropped her water goblet.

"Wh..what do you mean...me? You considered me when you were looking into a 700,000 dollar house?"

"Well, I've given it some thought and I really would like you to come live with me, Serena."

"Darien, what about your job? What if we get caught? What if-"

"Don't worry about it. We'll be ok, I promise. Please say you'll come stay with me..."

"Of course, Darien."

"God, you don't know how much that means to me."

The waiters finally came with the dishes and all was peaceful...until they got home with too much wine in their systems..(lol)...

The door to Darien's apartment burst open with him and Serena wobbling inside. They were both giggling like idiots. Finally, they reached the bed and began to discard clothes faster than they consumed alcohol earlier.

"Serena," he heaved with the smell of fresh wine on his lips, "let me give you everything.."

"Darien-.."

She was cut short when footsteps were heard just outside Darien's door. Panic raced into Serena's heart as she grabbed the covers and pulled them over her and Darien, like it actually helped.

A faint knock on the door was heard as a rather tall woman with boy cut blonde hair and rather masculine pajamas. This was the LAST person she wanted to discover her relationship with Darien, Principal Tenou. Little did Serena know that she lived down the hallway from one of the most respected women in the school, although she never paid attention to anything really.

"Oh...my...goodness...Ms. Tsukino? Is that you? And...Mr. Shields?"

"What the HELL are you doing, Ms. Tenou? This is my privacy!" Darien roared.

"Well I'm TERRIBLY sorry, Mr. Shields but I needed to discuss the Literature conference in the spring. Seeing as how you are or WERE one of our respected Language Arts instructors, I thought you might like to participate. Didn't think I'd walk in on my neighbor INAPPROPRIATELY in the arms of one of his students!"

"Amara, none of this should be brought to the school board's attention. This is my privacy and if I'm in love with Serena, then I'm in love, damnit! Just let us be and go on about your business!" Serena could only sink further behind him, her face glowing red with embarrassment.

"EXCUSE me! You need to get your act together, Shields or I'll see to it that you never work in our public schools again! This is a disgrace! I would like to think that you of all people could control your lust. But of course with all of that money who WOULDN'T want to sleep with Darien Shields," she said mockingly, "I'm very dissappointed with you. I thought I'd just have a visit with one of my well meaning teachers, not walk in on him sleeping with his pupil!"

Darien rose and wrapped a blanked around his naked torso. He called Trista into the hallway.

"Look, Amara, just promise me that you'll keep your mouth shut."

"Haha. So you liked my little 'you're fired' bit? Looks like I'm saving your ass again, Shields. You really should get over the whole Teacher/student scenarios. Is this one just another one of your schoolgirl whores, or are you really in love...hmm?"

"I really am in love with this one. I promise. The others were nothing but my pecker doing the thinking for me. I was so caught up in school shit that I couldn't get laid anywhere else. But she's different and I love her...promise."

"Alright then, Darien. I'll keep my mouth shut. BUT if I see any promiscuous activity going on between the two of you at MY school, expect me to make it public. And I will. It's my job."

"Oh you will? Maybe I should push one of the most well rescpected PRINCIPALS out of the fucking closet," he threatened, "So now whaddya say?"

"Fuck you, Shields, now you're getting into my privacy!"

"My point exactly. So lay off, Amara."

"FINE. Just make sure this doesn't happen again with someone that could do more damage than I."

"I will. So knock on doors a little harder next time, k?" they laughed.

"Sure, Darien. Now, I gotta get back to my...privacy," she winked.

"You're amazing, Tenou, ya know that?"

"Just tell Tsukino that for me!" she yelled jokingly going back down the hall.

All was well now.

"Darien," Serena cooed from inside, "...umm, I'll leave now. I'm sorry that I got you into trouble."

She was trembling with tears in her eyes. Serena was terrified. "It's alright," he soothed as he stepped back inside and let the sheet drop. "Tonight is your night. That was just a mishap. Tenou won't do any damage. We're old friends from our junior high and high school days. So no worries, ok?" Serena nodded, "I see." Darien strutted to the bed and threw himself on top of her. She writhed beneath him. "Darien, I'm not sure if I can go through with this...I got so frightened. I'm sorry..." She looked at him with pain in her eyes as she knew that he needed her that night. "It's alright Sere, if you don't want to, then we won't. Just know that what happened tonight was no biggie. Just a misunderstanding." "Ok, Darien." They laid there, him on top of her, for what seemed like hours. Darien managed to fall asleep with Serena, who was still wide awake...thinking...and embarrassed.

'Oh my GOD...my principle walked in on me and Darien having SEX! In her PJ's for God's sake! How can I ever look her in the eye again? Ah well, at least there's that rumor going around that she's a lesbian. That makes me feel a little better knowing that she probably has an indiscretion herself.' Serena pondered in her own thoughts as she felt Darien stir above her. She felt better after thinking over things for a little bit. Serena thought that maybe she should let Darien continue where he left off..

"Serena" he whispered.

'Is he dreaming about me?' she thought. Darien never opened an eye but Serena could tell that he was mumbling in his sleep for some reason. 'I wonder what he's dreaming'

"Marry me, Serena..." He continued to whisper. He was still in a deep slumber. Serena wondered if he would remember what he's dreaming. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

'Did he just say what I think he said? Does he want to marry me? Does HE know that he does?'
