Part 5

-----------------------10 MINUTES LATER-----------------------

Serena, still extremely upset for what Darien had told her, looked for Jake's number and when she dialed it she forced a steady voice.

Darien, again, was eavesdropping on Serena's conversation with Jake.

"Hello, Jake Javahome speaking."

"Hi, Jake. It's me Serena."

"Hey Sere, what's wrong?" Jake asked worriedly.

"Jake, I am so sorry. But I need to cancel the planes for tonight," Serena said.

"Why?" Jake asked.

"Well, Darien, My Stupid, boss. Said I have to stay until 9:30 to help him with a stupid report or speech or something. It is really messing up our plans," Serena explained to him, "Your not mad are you?"

"No not at all. Listen, please don't interrupt me, but how about I come to your place when you get there and pick you up and take you to my place. I can make you dinner, and then we can go for a walk around the beach. That sound okay?" Jake asked Serena.

"Jake! That sounds wonderful! See you later," Serena said.

"Okay, See Ya. Bye,"

"Buh-bye," Serena chirped.

Darien could not believe this! He did all he could to stop them from going to dinner. And Jake made it even more romantic then before. Maybe he should just have Serena go home so she could get ready. Maybe she would be less mad at him. Serena was very happy. Then again, she was still extremely mad at Darien.

"Meatball Head?" Darien said over the intercom. NO DARIEN! That's twice in one day! Forget running into a wall. Jump off your balcony!

"WHAT! Mr. DORK!!!!!!!!!" Serena yelled back at him.

"Umm I was going to tell you that you could have tomorrow off. And you can leave now," Darien said to her.

"GOOD!!!!" Serena yelled, yet again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Serena walked home. When she got there, she was extremely relieved to see she had cleaned her house already. She didn't want Jake coming into see a messy house. She walked into her room to see what kind o outfit she should where. After twenty-five minutes of throwing clothes here and there. She finally picked a pair of leather pants and a red tank top.

She took a shower, blow-dried her hair. Went into her room, and changed, it was 9 o'clock. (A record for her) And there was a knock at the door.

"Coming," Serena said, running to the door, and swinging it open, "Hello."

"Hello, are you Serena Tuskuno?" the man at the door asked.

"Yes I am, may I help you?" Serena asked smiling.

"Yes ma'am. I have a delivery for you. I need you sign here."

"Oh ok then," Serena signed, "Thank you, and have a good night."

"You too Miss." he said, and left.

Serena walked into the other room, and opened the package. It was a dozen white rosebuds. But deep in the center was a dark red rose, fully bloomed. She looked at the roses with pure love. She knew whom it was from. But just to be sure, she checked the box to see if a note was in there. Yes, there was. Serena looked at the note and it read.

Gorgeous, Pretty,

Lovely, True.

Theses are the words,

I say to you.

With love,

Jake.

Serena thought that it was so sweet of him. She went into her kitchen, found a blue vase, filled it water, and put all the flowers into it. She walked into her room to find something to do with her hair. She decided to put it down and flip over her bangs, put the dark red rose in her hair, and by the time she was done with this it was 9:25. She had to call Jake.

Ring-Ring-Ring

"Hello?" Came Jakes voice.

"Hi Jake! It's me Serena!" Serena said.

"Hey Sere, are ya ready?" Jake asked her.

"Yes I am. And thank you so much for the flowers. They were so beautiful," Serena told him. Jake was wondering what flowers she was talking about, but she continued, "The poem was so sweet to! Gorgeous, Pretty, Lovely, True. Theses are the words, I say to you. With love, Jake. That was so sweet." She cooed.

"Your Welcome. So you want me to pick you up?"

"Okay, I'm ready. See you soon." Serena cooed again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in his office Darien sat in his chair thinking about Serena. Had she got the flowers? Had she realized that they were not from Jake? Would she want to know whom they were really from? That's all Darien could think about. He stairs into the darkness of his office and imagines Serena walking into the room with a wide grin. Saying I Love you Darien.' But it quickly faded away. For he was disturbed by the ringing of his phone.

"Hello?" He said.

"Darien, I am sooo sorry. Please give me another chance!" Emma wailed.

"Emma! No, You cheated on me. I could never forgive you that," Darien said calmly. "And besides you don't even have the guts to tell me who."

Emma knew who it was, Jake Javahome, but she couldn't tell him that because Serena was going out with him now. He'd be sure to tell her, and even though Serena didn't look it, she was strong.

"Well, if it mattered I would tell you, but it doesn't so please, give me another chance. Darien I love you!!!" Emma said.

"Emma!!!! Get it through your head! I. Don't. Love. You. Anymore. Do I need to spell it to you? I d-o-n-t l-o-v-e y-o-u!" Darien was practically yelling, "Do you understand?"

Emma pretended a big sob. "Well th-this is your last chance with me. I am serious. I love you," Emma said.

"Emma, you don't love me. You need someone to play with. I'm sorry, good bye." Darien said, and hung up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, Serena. Do you like spaghetti?" Jake asked.

"Of course I do, Jake, its like one of my favorite."

"Good, Sere."

Serena just laughed. On the rest of the way to Jake's he told her about himself, and she about herself.

"Here we are," Jake said.

Jake lived in a big beautiful house. It had a garden all around it.

"Jake Oh My Goodness. Its so Beautiful," Serena said.

"Thanks. The seller guy said the garden would sell more then without. But now I'm not so sure I want to move, because of you," Jake said.

Serena blushed, "Jake, you're so sweet."

As Jake and Serena walked in the house, the wonderful smell of spaghetti engulfed them. Jake took off Serena's jacket for her and hung it up.

"Listen," Jake said, "you wait here. I'll come get you in one minute, okay?"

"Okay Jakie." Serena sighed.

Jake walked into the dining room and placed two candles on the table. He lit each one with a match, and went to get the spaghetti. Entering into the kitchen he grabbed two china plates out of the cabinet, and then filled each one with spaghetti, sauce, and three meatballs each. Jake placed them on the table where the garlic bread already lay. He went into the kitchen once more and got two wine glasses, and the wine out of the cabinet. He quickly put them on the table, and went to get Serena.

"Close your eyes," Jake said.

Serena closed her eyes and Jake led her into the room. She could smell, more then ever, the rich scent of the spaghetti. He sat her down and said, "Open your eyes."

Serena opened her eyes and the most romantic thing was right in front of her. "Oh my! Jake! Its so gorgeous," she gasped.

"Thank you, Sere." Jake said as he sat down.

"Serena, would you like some wine?" he asked.

"Yes please," Serena said. The rest of dinner went on more about themselves until the phone rang.

"I'll be right back," Jake said.

"Hello?"

"Jakie! Take me back!"

"Emma!" he said in a whisper, "No! Not this time. Bye."

Jake walked into the dining room. Serena asked, "Who was it Jake?"

"Oh It was a telemarketer," he lied.

"Oh I hate them. Don't you?" Serena said.

"Yes, I do. You know what!" said Jake changing the subject, I have tomorrow off and I was wondering if you would take tomorrow off to spend with me."

"Well actually, Mr. Degusting gave me it off." Serena said.

"Great! We can go to the movies, and lunch, and the beach, and to dinner," he said. "That would be so neat. I'd love to." Serena said and they finished dinner talking more about themselves.

Serena was having the time of her life. Not only was she with, (in her mind), the cutest guy ever. But she was going to the beach afterwards, Then she remembered, she was wearing leather pants! Now that couldn't be good! "Umm...Jake, do you think we could"

"Sure Sere," he said. He knew she needed to change clothes.
"Thanks Jake," said Serena blushing.

Jake cleared the table while Serena went to the bathroom. Serena walked into the living room where Jake was waiting for her with her coat in his hands.
"Thank you Jake," Serena said.

In the car Serena was completely silent looking out the window in a weird sort of gaze.

What if Jake doesn't like me? What if he thinks I am a total goof off? What should I wear? Will my shorts be too skimpy? Oh my god what am I going to do?' A look a panic must of came on Serena's face because Jake said:
"What's the matter Sere?"

"What? Oh nothing. I'm fine just fine." she replied, "Oh here we are common you can come in for a minute if you want to."

"That sounds great." Jake said.

They walked in and Serena went in her room franticly, searching for her short, short, cut off jeans. She found them and put them on along with a yellow halter-top. She grabbed a yellow hair band and her brush and quickly pulled her hair into a pony. She took off her socks and quickly found her white sandals. When she walked out of her room Jake stared at her in aw.

"Serena, you look really, really good."

"Thanks Jake," Serena said.

"Ready to go?"

"Okay, I'm ready."

As they walked out the door Jake turned to Serena and said. "Since the Beach is less then a block away, why don't we just walk?"

"Okay Jakie."

After a little bit, Serena asked, "Jake, how long have you known my stupid boss?"

"Well I would have to say about four maybe five years," Jake said, "Why?"

"Oh well I have known him along time. And I was I just wanted to know."

Serena wasn't sure why she wanted to know. She didn't even mean to ask the question.
