Chapter 7
Serena flung herself on her old bed and cried. She had missed him so much, the teasing and the annoying nick names, but seeing him again only brought back all of the memories and how he had a 'sky high' ego problem.
"Why me?" She sobbed into her pillow and pulled it closer into her grip. She had never felt so crushed. He had ruined the best moment they had ever shared by moaning about stupid sunglasses. "And it wasn't even sunny!" She shouted at herself, and sunk her head back into the pillow, everything was going wrong.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid…" Darien repeated over and over again on his walk home, he had ruined everything. He hadn't grown up at all! "What do I do now?" He asked himself as he came to the entrance of his building. He walked towards the door and noticed a flower stand across the street. "Aha!" He said triumphantly.
"He did what?" Came the voice from the other end of Serena's pink bunny rabbit phone. Serena sighed and played with the phone chord, spinning it around her index finger.
"I told you he would never change!" Serena said down the phone at Raye her best friend. She sighed again and stood up, "I've got to go Raye, I need a bath!" Serena said down the phone and ignoring the protests of her friend, hung up.
As she walked over to her bedroom door she decided to look at a picture she had taken 5 years ago of the girls and herself. They all looked so happy, but now everything had changed and Serena didn't know what to do anymore.
Serena opened the door and walked across the landing and to the bathroom, once she was in, she started running the tap slowly and putting bubble bath in. But before she could even decide to get undressed the doorbell sounded downstairs, and as she was alone she would have to get it herself.
She walked out of the bathroom, wiping her hands on the hand towel and walked slowly down the stairs hoping that the person would go away before she got there.
Serena placed the towel on the table next to her front door, pushed her hair back and grabbed the handle to open, but regretted being in a bad mood as soon as she opened the door.
"Hi, um what can I do for you?" Serena asked the brown haired wonder standing out on her doorstep.
"I just thought I would bring back your notes, I never got to bring them back before!" Alan said, his short brown fringe blowing in the wind that was blowing out side.
"Well that's my pleasure!" Serena chuckled and took the pages of paper he handed her back. "Um… sorry for being rude, come on in." She added, moving out of the way and using her hand motioned for him to enter her home.
Alan entered slowly, stepping prominently over the threshold and watching Serena constantly as he passed her. Once in the house Alan seemed to become more excited.
"Well- can I offer you a drink?" Serena asked him, walking to the door of the living room. Alan shook his head, ran his finger through it and then shook it again.
"No thank you, I wont stay long, I was thinking maybe we could meet up again somewhere sometime soon?" He asked, embarrassment not at all present in his voice.
Serena nodded her head at him and leaned against the doorframe. "That would be nice." Serena smiled at him, their eyes locked and he smiled back, that dazedly crushable smile. But the moment had to be broken!
A loud knock was heard on the door, making Serena blink quickly and move from her position on the doorframe. She walked over to her front door, looked back at Alan, smiled apologetically and then opened the door.
"Darien?" Serena asked disbelievingly, he was holding a massive bunch of flowers and smiling sweetly down at her.
"Hi Serena." He said to her half happy and half embarrassed.
Serena put her hand on the necklace around her neck, a shape of a star that played a sweet melody, "Why are you here?" She asked him quietly, not quite sure she was seeing right.
"I think I'll leave you two to it!" Alan said, already halfway to the door and nearly to Serena.
"No stay!" Serena said, coming back to reality and holding her arm out to stop him leaving. "Darien was leaving." Serena said looking back up at Darien sternly.
"Serena please, don't, we need to talk!" Darien said to her, his voice starting to sound his so familiar bossy self.
"I don't think so!" She said back, her arms now crossed and her eyebrows frowning. Darien sighed and his shoulders sagged.
"Serena please!" He said again, this time his voice sounding almost desperate.
Serena's face softened and she sighed, she looked back at Alan and gave him another apologetic look and stepped back away from the door for Darien to enter.
He obeyed and crossed the threshold of Serena's house, walking into the living room and placing the flowers on the coffee table near the sofa.
Serena looked at Alan and sighed. "I'm sorry!" She said to him and watched as he left through the door.
"I'll call you!" he said as he walked down the drive and Serena watched as he walked out of sight.
She turned, slammed the door shut and stalked into the lounge. "Why do you have to be so annoying Chiba?" She asked, her anger rising without reason.
Darien looked up at her and knew that she had a right to be angry, but also wished that she wasn't, her being angry in the first place wouldn't leave any room for more anger and she would probably chuck him out before he had a chance to explain himself!
"Serena, I need to tell you something!" he said as she sat down on the seat opposite him and crossed her legs. Darien stared at her legs and could feel himself becoming 'happier' just by watching her. When she was 15 it wasn't right, but now she was a woman and she could handle what he was about to tell her and maybe do something about it.
Serena watched as he looked at her legs without blinking and she sighed annoyed. He had bugged her just to stare at her legs.
"Well?" she asked annoyance clear in her voice.
"You have always bugged me Meatball head." He said to her.
Serena instantly stood up and pointed to the door. "I will not sit here and listen to you insult me Darien Chiba, now get out of my house!" She shouted at him, but noticed that he wasn't moving an inch.
Darien looked up at her, his dark blue orbs fixed on the figure of beauty and the thought of losing her again.
Serena immediately reached down to pull Darien from the sofa, her hands grabbing his arms, but she found that he was a lot stronger and instantaneously pulled her down upon him.
"Darien…" She began to protest, his mouth barely an inch above her own. His dark blue eyes looking straight in her light blue ones. His hands placed firmly around her waist, keeping her down upon him and stopping her from moving away.
The air began to become all hazy and happy in Serena's head, her thoughts were clouded, and she could feel a warm wet feeling at her feet and working up towards her ankles.
Serena was broken by the trance and moved her eyes to look down at the floor. Water was rising rapidly, lapping at Serena's ankles causing the warm feeling she had been experiencing.
"Shit!" She screamed, pulling away from Darien's grip and running towards the stairs to turn the tap off in the bathroom.
She got to the bottom and felt a strong hand pull her round, Darien stood there before her staring down at her. Serena wondered if he had felt the fuzzy feeling she had experienced. Then got back to reality.
"Darien let me go, I need to turn off of the bath!" she screamed at him and tried to pull her arm away. But his grip on her arm didn't falter although she began to beat his arm to pry him off; Serena was now beginning to get scared.
"Darien!" Darien heard in his ear, he actually looked down at the woman in front of him and pulled away quickly, and examined her arm where his large hand had been. A red mark was visible where the pressure had been too great.
Serena didn't think about seeing him out, she leapt up the stair and into the bathroom.
Darien turned around and walked slowly to the door, opening it with one arm, holding it open as he looked around at the staircase. Then he left and began to walk down the street, wondering if he would ever be able to tell Serena his feelings without insulting her first.
What do you think? Darien an ass? i think so! Do you think he will be able to control his Sky High Ego Problem? or will he be doomed forever? Let us know what you think, lot sof love and kisses , bobs xxxxxxxxxx
