Author's notes: Thank you to the three people that have reviewed so far. Daisy 31, MoonlightUsa and Aurora, your coments have made all my worries about this story disappear a little. Here is another chapter, sorry Daisy 31, I didn't include the wedding, but I promise you will find out about it in the future. Please R&R, any criticisms are welcome.
Chapter One
" Hey Drew, what's up?" Serena asked as she reached the secretary's desk where Andrew was talking.
" Hello Serena. What are you doing here?" Andrew asked, hugging her.
" Just visiting my husband." Serena replied.
" I would wait a minute before I go in if I were you. He's only just finished throwing things around after his latest rage." Andrew warned.
" What was it this time?" Serena asked, peering around him to try and look into her husbands office.
" One of the clients brought his wife along. She was young, beautiful and stuck up. She got it into her head that Darien wasn't speaking because he was so caught up in her looks that he was speechless. She patronised him." Andrew said.
" Did he wait until the client left this time?" Serena asked worriedly.
" Yes, thank goodness." Andrew replied.
" Where you hurt?"
" No, I got out in time."
" I'll go in and see him, see if I can't cheer him up a bit."
" If you need any help, I'm going to be right out here."
" Thanks Drew."
Serena walked over to the office door and pushed it open a touch, peering around it to make sure nothing was going to crash above her head. Darien was sitting behind his desk, surrounded by broken furniture and scattered papers, staring moodily out his office windows. He didn't seem to notice as Serena walked in and sat on his desk.
" And why wasn't I invited to this party?" She asked playfully.
Darien turned his head and looked stonily at her.
" I guess it wasn't much fun, huh?"
What are you doing here Serena?
" Well that's nice. I happened to be missing you and thought I might remedy that and take a peek in here, see if I can't get a glimpse of you." Serena said, in a mock huff. " Guess I've had my peek and should get going now."
Serena hopped off the desk and would have headed for the door if Darien hadn't pulled her down into his lap and buried his face in her neck.
" I guess you missed me too." Serena said into his ear.
More than you will ever know
"Drew told me what happened." Serena said quietly.
I hate this disability!
" She was just one ignorant little tart, don't let her get to you. Just because some people don't understand doesn't mean everybody doesn't."
I can't go anywhere by myself. I can't even run my own business by myself. It makes me useless.
" I wouldn't say that exactly." Serena said, rubbing her body against his.
You know what I mean
" And is it that bad, having friends and loved ones around you all the time? I would dearly wish that I had that. At least you'll never be lonely like I am half the time."
It's not like that
" I know that, but the people around you all the time are just there to make your life easier. Don't think of them as helpers, but as friends who just want to help you when you need them to."
That's saying the same thing
" You're right, it was." Serena said giggling. She looped her arms around his neck. " Stop feeling as if you're not good for anything. I can tell you, you are and I don't mean that in just the physical way either. Believe that your disability is just a minor set back and that's what it will become. Instead of this huge one you think it is."
When did you get so smart?
" Heaven help us all, the day I get to be smart." Serena said in mock horror, pretending to faint into his chest.
Darien hugged her tightly. She could always make him feel good about himself. He kissed the top of her head and felt her snuggle closer.
" How about we tidy this place up, then head home and curl up in front of the TV?" Serena asked.
Darien nodded and helped her off his lap. He kissed her when they were both standing then took a step back and helped her clean up his office. Andrew stuck his head around the door just as they were finishing and caught Serena's eye. " Lady of many talents, huh?"
" Sometimes." Serena replied smiling at him.
" Fancy coming over and cleaning my office." He asked both of them.
Not likely, Drew. This is a one off for Serena, and I have to clean up enough at home. I don't think I'll be taking on anyone else's mess until I've trained Serena into a tidy person
Serena threw a cushion from the couch she was tidying up at Darien's head and stuck her tongue out at him.
That wasn't very nice
" Well you deserved it."
Come hereDarien took a flying leap at Serena, who squealed and tried to dodge away, but wasn't quite quick enough and ended up in a squirming heap on the floor with Darien tickling her. Andrew shook his head and closed the door behind him, smiling at the secretary to let her know everything was all right in there. He walked off down the corridor whistling, hearing vaguely the sounds of Serena's laughter in the background.
