.......Er...hey everyone! Sorry that I haven't updated any of my stories lately, I just got so busy with school and studying that I didn't have time to write out my new chapters for any of my stories so please don't be mad! Anyway I'll try to update the rest during my 4 days weekend!

Darien parked the car in front of the place in the hospital where the ball was to take place. It was a nicer built part of the hospital, which they rarely used except for special occasions.

This was definitely going to be a special night. Darien was planning to tell Serena that he was the CEO of the hospital she worked at. He hoped she wouldn't think he was crazy or that he was just joking or that he was a liar. The last thing Darien wanted was for Serena to hate him.

"Is something wrong Darien? You look pale and sick and nervous. Are you catching a cold or something?" She asked as she reached over from her side of the car and felt his forehead. He only smiled as he gently took her hand and kissed it. "I'll always have a fever if you're around so it's natural." He said as she laughed.

"Well, come on let's go in!" She said cheerfully as she got out of his car. Darien smiled and got out as well and locked his doors and took her arm within his and led her inside. He hoped that no one would recognize him and blow it for him.

'Good, maybe no one will notice me and I can tell Serena myself without having anyone ruin it.' He thought as they walked though the big room. The room had a huge chandelier with white diamonds in it while lit, it also had a huge dance floor with the DJ to the side of it and white covered tables with red oak chairs.

Before Darien could finish his examination of the whole room, the lights dimmed, the music changed to a slow song, and Serena was already pulling on his sleeve for him to come dance with her. "Come on Darien, I want to see how much you've recovered since they brought you in!" She said as she continued to pull him towards the dance floor. He only chuckled as he was led onto the dance floor.

Once they got on it, Darien slipped his hands around Serena's slim waist while she put her hands around and behind his neck. They started to move in time to the music. Serena looked up at Darien as he looked around nervously.

'I wonder what's got him so shaken up? He's acting really weird, like someone is going to come and blow something for him. He won't even look at me. Oh well, I know what will though.' She thought as she started pulling him down to her and she leaned in to kiss him.

Darien's eyes went wide as he felt her lips on his, and then he felt a weird sensation deep within him. It was different from all of the other times he had ever kissed a woman. With any other woman it just felt normal, but with her it just felt so right, like he had kissed her a million times before when in reality this had been the first time he kissed her.

His arms tightened around her as he started to just forget about anyone he knew seeing him and blowing his plan. Serena tightened her arms around Darien's neck and kissed him back just as passionately as he was. 'Wow, I didn't think I'd get this kind of reaction out of him. But for some reason I don't care. This feels so....right.' Serena thought as Darien ended the kiss.

"Wow." Was all she could say. Darien smiled and said, "Ditto." Serena giggled while Darien chuckled. While they continued to dance, Serena's best friend, Molly was watching the whole thing while dancing with Melvin.

'It looks like you've finally found your prince charming, Serena.' Molly thought happily as she continued to dance with Melvin. After a couple of more dances, Darien and Serena left the dance floor and went into the gardens. Little did they know, Allen was in a dark corner, watching them, devising a plan.

'You will be mine again Serena, once I get rid of Darien, then you'll come running back to me.' He thought with an evil smirk.

Outside in the gardens, Serena and Darien went to the white gazebo with red and white roses grown around it. They walked inside it and sat down. Serena looked up to see a transparent window in the roof so she could see the moon clearly. Darien kept his glance on Serena the entire time. Her hair seemed to turn a light shade of sliver under the moonlight.

'Well Darien you have to tell her sooner or later, so do it now so it won't have to be later.' He thought. Darien cleared his throat until he got her attention. She turned to him and he stopped for a moment to stare into her beautiful blue eyes.

'Better do it now or you'll never have the guts to do it again.' Darien snapped himself out of her entrancing gaze and focused on what he wanted to tell her. "Serena I have to tell you the truth about me." He said as he had second doubts about what he was about to tell her.
