Chapter 3

Serena turned around abruptly and saw him standing there, short dark hair, long muscular body and his eyes, oh those eyes.

"Don't walk away from me!" He said, his voice husky and his eyes showing his sudden anger. There he stood Darien, in all his glory, following her down an alleyway and nearly scaring her to death.

"Are you stalking me?" She shouted at him, folding her arms and staring directly into his eyes, if looks could kill Darien would have blown up. But something in those gorgeous deep blue orbs showed innocence, showed longing and wanting, wanting to be loved.

Serena shook her head this was stupid, this jerk could never be loved, and he could never love. Why would any one want to love him?

"You walked away from me." He replied, not really being able to say anything else, but not wanting her to run away again. "I wanted to ask you something." He said, his features showing innocence again.

Serena huffed and stood back on one foot, staring up at him. Darien looked down at the small figure before him, oh how he hated her, how she made him want to call her all the names under the sun and then ravish in the emotions he inflicted upon her. He wanted to see the feelings and features that only he could make her have.

"I don't want to speak to you!" She spat back at him after a moment, turned on her heels and was about to put her foot out to walk away when she felt him grab her arm again, but this time it was softer and he almost seemed to be caressing her upper arm. S

"Please…" He trailed off and looked down at her, his eyes drowning her, her anger leaving her instantly. His deep blue orbs pleading, no, begging her to listen to him. Her face instantly turned from a scowl to an emotionless smile. All of the anger that had surged through her body a few seconds before that moment gone, it was blown away by his hurtful features, his pleading eyes.

She turned fully to see him and unfolded her arms and looked into his eyes, mentioning for him to continue. Darien took a deep breath and sighed. He let go of her arm and moved backwards, leaning against the wall he flopped his head down and slipped his hands in his jean pockets.

"I…" He began, should he apologize? Should he apologize for everything that he had said and done? What would she think of him then?

Wimp! She would ignore you and think you were a wimp! He said to himself and sighed. "What are you doing out so late?" he asked trying to sound like he was going to ask that all along.

"Why would you care?" She shouted back at him, all of the guilt leaving her.

"Because little girls shouldn't be out late at night." He replied turning just his head to look at her, his eyes rested on her figure.

"Is that what you think of me? 'A little girl'? Well I'll tell you something, just because I might be smaller than some doesn't mean I can't look after myself." She shouted at him.

Why does he always have to be so insolent? She asked herself and chuckled deeply.

"So meatball head thinks she can protect herself does she?" He asked her teasingly. This time he turned his upper body to regard her, his hands still firmly in his pockets.

"Of course I can!" She replied, turning her head up and sticking her nose in the air. "I don't need body guards!" She shouted, but she wasn't so sure of that herself, the only training she had at self-defense was from Melvin at karate class and he nearly broke her arm.

"Well then are you willing to test that theory?" He asked, a smile spreading slowly across his face, Serena looked up at him and was sure that she could see him smirk.

Serena flinched, shit! She looked around herself frantically and then realised he couldn't make her do anything she didn't want to. She would just play it cool and then jog home.

"Why would I want to waste my time on you?" She asked annoyingly, turning to walk away from him. She could feel her heart quicken, what would he do now? Her question was answered soon as she felt a hand on her arm and then she was spun round, her face coming into view with Darien's chest.

"Because I'm worth it!" He replied, looking down at her and not loosening his grip on her arm. She began to struggle in his arms, and then she stopped, defeated.

"You know what?" She asked teasingly. Darien smiled down at her and shook his head. His heart began to race, what was she going to tell him?

Does she really like me? He asked himself waiting for her to finish the sentence.

"You… have… a… sky high EGO!" She shouted at him and pulled away finally breaking his grip on her arm. "Don't you think that maybe you should just leave me alone?" Serena suggested and turned to walk away from him.

Darien blinked and looked at the retreating form of Serena.

What just happened? He asked himself, he shook his head and sighed. Well he would just have to keep an eye on her, make sure that she would be okay.

Serena continued to walk away from Darien; her eyes had already begun to fill with tears. She didn't like hurting him, but he just made her so mad, she wished that he had offered to walk her home. It wasn't safe for a young girl to be out in the streets alone at night.

She turned round quickly, hoping that she hadn't hurt him too much and that he would take her home, but she saw the withdrawing form of Darien's back. She sighed and turned back, walking homeward.

Darien turned round to see if maybe Serena would come up to him and forgive him, but she still walked out of the alleyway. She might not know it but he would always be there to protect her. He will be her night in shining armor when she is in trouble and her shoulder to cry on when she is upset.

I will be there, always.
