The Taylor's

Chapter 13

"This is my favorite place Serena. I come here often just to sit and think" Darien said as he opened the car door and helped Serena out.

Serena looked around at the scenery she was surrounded by with old fashioned houses and cobblestone streets. She felt like she had stepped back in time.

She turned to Darien with a big smile as she told him "Darien this place is amazing thank you so much for bringing me here".

He smiled back at her as he told her "there's still a lot more to see, come on I'll show you". On instinct Darien reached out his hand to hers and to his delight she didn't flinch or take it away.

They walked to a giant water fountain where Darien reached in his pocket and took out two coins he handed her one and told her "there's an old tale that says if you threw a coin in this fountain and make a wish, your wish will come true"

Serena tossed in her coin and closed her eyes as she hoped her wish would come true.

Darien did the same as he tossed the coin in the fountain then turned to Serena with a smile as he asked her "so what did you wish for".

Serena gave him a coy smile as she told him "I can't tell you then it might not come true" as she ran off with Darien following her.

Serena ran to the end of the sidewalk as Darien caught up to her trying to catch his breath when he looked at her asking "how can you run that fast I could barely keep up with you"

Serena turned to him with a smile as she told him "I end up running to school most mornings I usually miss my ride"

Darien took her hand in his as he told her "well your running days are over Ms. Taylor" he turned to look where a horse and carriage were waiting by the sidewalk, he then turned back to her with a smile asking "shall we"

Serena nodded her head in approval as they walked over to the gentlemen by the carriage.

"Good evening would you like a ride" the gentlemen asked as he pointed at his horse. "Casper and I would be glad to show you around, this village is especially lovely by moonlight" the gentlemen said as he handed Serena a rose.

Serena took the offered rose then walked over petting the horse, than Darien took her hand as he helped her in the carriage then climbed in beside her.

To his surprise Serena leaned back in to him as they cuddled together looking at the beautiful scenery that they could share together under the full moon.

When they came to the end of the ride Darien paid the driver then hopped out taking Serena's hand and helping her from the carriage where she stumbled and fell into his arms.

Darien helped her to her feet where there eyes met and Serena's heart started to skip a beat. When Darien told her "there's still much more to see yet" he took her hand and then they walked away.

They walked into a beautiful garden that was full of every flower you could have thought possible. All the different fragrances were just mesmerizing. Serena closed her eyes for a moment just trying to take them all in when Darien walked up next to her asking "do you like this place"

She turned around with a big smile as she told him "yes very much it's just amazing".

Darien smiled telling her "I'm glad, this is my favorite place in the world and I'm glad I could share this with you Serena"

Serena turned around looking in to his eyes as she told him "I'm glad you did too"

Darien started to lean in closer to her when Serena's stomach started a loud rumble as she looked away embarrassed.

He turned her face to look at his as he put on one of his best smiles and told her "I know a great place we can go to eat" as he took her hand and they walked out of the park.

Darien took her to a little Bistro on the outside of town where the hostess quickly seated them on the patio it was right under the stars and over looking the water as she smiled to the couple asking "is this good"

They both nodded there approval as the hostess walked away. Then Darien took out Serena's seat for her to sit, then sat across from her as they were greeted by there waiter who went over the days specials.

They both ordered and as they waited for there food they sat and talked under the perfect starlit sky.

Serena was telling Darien about a school project she was working on but all Darien could pay attention to was how beautiful Serena looked by starlight her hair seamed to give off a silvery blond hue, and her eyes just seemed to sparkle.

The waiter came over with there food knocking Darien out of his dream state. When the scent of the delicious food took over the table and they both started to eat.

After they finished eating Darien paid the bill and began to stand up when he noticed Serena had on a sour face as he sat back down asking her "Serena what's wrong did you not like your food or something"

Serena looked into his charming eyes as she told him "no it's nothing like that it's just that I have been having such a wonderful time tonight I just don't want it to end"

Darien smiled as he told her "then it won't" as he took her hand and led her out of the restaurant".

They drove down to the beach that was lit up by the moonlight as they sat on the sand cuddled up together looking up to the stars. When Serena turned around asking him "Darien will we ever have more nights like this"

Darien sat up quickly looking at her as he took her hands in his telling her "Serena I sure hope so because I've had a great time with you tonight, and I would like to continue having more great times with you".

Serena started to blush as she looked at him asking "but what about everyone else, what would everyone say"

Darien looked at her surprised of the question she asked when he asked her "everyone what everyone who are you afraid of Serena"

She looked to Darien trying not to spoil the moment as she told him "Samantha and the rest of your friends how will they react when they find out you're dating a sophomore"

Darien looked straight into her eyes as he told her "I don't care about what everyone else thinks Serena. I only care that I have a great girl in my life, but if you want to keep us a secret, then I won't tell"

Serena looked to him as she said "for now I think that would be best"

Darien nodded his head in approval as he looked down at his watch realizing it was almost midnight, he looked to her saying "it's getting late I should probably get you home"

Serena looked down at her watch not realizing how late it was as she screamed out "11:50 I was suppose to be home at 11 my mom's going to kill me"

Darien stood up and grabbed his keys as he told her "it'll be okay come on I'll drive you home"

Darien started to drive down Serena's block when she told him "stop here I'll walk the rest of the way"

Darien looked at her not sure if he wanted her walking by herself at night, when she told him "I don't want Sam to see your car parked in front of the house"

He took a deep breath but said "okay I'll see you at school"

She nodded her head yes and was about to get out of the car when she turned back telling him "Darien, thank you this was the most wonderful night and I had such a great time and…"

Before Serena got a chance to finish her thought Darien had his lips on hers and they both shared a deep passionate kiss.

After the kiss Serena's head was a little loopy as she got out of the car, waved goodnight and walked to the house.

When she got inside Sam was sitting up waiting for her with a grin on her face asking "so where have you been all night. Rob called about an hour ago and said he found something better to do, so where were you Serena".

Serena turned to her sister with a smile as she told her "I was out having a wonderful evening" she gave Sam a kiss on the cheek saying "good night" and went upstairs; leaving Sam behind very puzzled.
