Serena looked up at Darien, confused as could be.
"The truth about you? What do you mean, Darien?" She asked as she tried to get him to look her in the eye, but failed at her attempts. Darien avoided eye contact with her, although he knew he shouldn't.
'Well, are you going to chicken out now, or what?' His mind asked him.
'No, I just....well....I don't know if this was such a good idea.' Darien replied.
'Unfortunately you have to do it now, because you just started the conversation and now you have to finish it!' His mind told him.
At that, Darien had no other choice but to finish what he had started. He sighed, seeing that there was no other way out of telling her, and surely he wasn't going to lie to her about his job. "You see, Serena, I'm not just your average working guy, who gets run down by cars...." He trailed off as he chuckled a little and made her giggle, but after he continued.
"I'm really the CEO of the hospital you work at." He said, hoping she wouldn't be mad at him for waiting so long to tell her. Instead, he heard her laughing. Darien looked at her funnily. How could she think that this was funny when he was being so serious? When she stopped laughing, she looked up at him with a big smile.
"Oh Darien, that's a really humorous thought but, tell me really, what was it that you wanted to tell me?" She asked as he shook off his shock. "Serena, I'm serious. I'm the CEO of your hospital. I'm not making this up!" He said as he looked down into her eyes. Serena took a moment to look up into his. She saw nothing but truthfulness in his eyes. She thought for a moment and gasped.
"Now I remember. Darien Shields is the CEO of our hospital, but hardly anyone on our staff knows you, that's why that day I met you, you told me that you weren't famous or anything, but you made good money. You were telling me the truth after all, even though you or I didn't realize it. How come you took so long to tell me?" She asked.
'Oh no....' Darien thought. 'Here it comes. She's going to get mad and end up breaking up with me.' He thought sadly. He sighed. "I....I really don't know why I waited to tell you." He said, expecting her to yell at him or something, though he didn't know why. Serena stepped closer to him and pulled him down to her eyelevel.
"Well you know what? Even if you were the janitor in our hospital, I wouldn't like you any less, because I like you for who you are, Darien. Not for what kind of job you have or how much money you make." She said as she continued to smile at him.
"Really, you mean that, Serena?" He asked with hopefulness. Serena only smiled and nodded. "Yes, I do." With that answer, Darien took Serena into his arms quickly and kissed her just as passionately as he had before. When they pulled away, Serena couldn't help but sigh. His kisses were so passionate, so.... breathtaking. Darien smiled and stepped away from her to offer her his arm, so they could go back inside. As they were going in, a thought came to Darien's mind.
"Hey Serena, the national Tokyo fair is happening this week, do you want to go?" He asked as she smiled. "With who?" She asked as if she didn't know. Darien smirked. "With me, who else?" He said as they kept walking in. Serena kept smiling. "Hmmm...ok as long as I get a big fat raise, Mr. CEO!" She said as she let go of his arm and ran into the ballroom, laughing. Darien smirked and ran in after her. "Hey, that's not nice to do to your boyfriend and boss!" He called after her.
Later that night, Darien took Serena home. When he walked her up to her door, he stopped and turned to her. "Thank you for the wonderful night, Darien. I'll never forget it." She said as she began unlocking her door, but Darien stopped her. He put his hand her hers, while it was still unlocking the door.
"No, thank you Serena, for giving me this opportunity to be with the most beautiful and interesting woman in the world, and I mean it too." He said as he leaned down to kiss her. She was totally blushing from his comment and while he leaned down to kiss her. His lips finally met hers for another one of his passionate kisses. Serena had enough time to kiss him back before he pulled away again.
"I guess that would be my goodnight kiss then." He said as she kissed him on the cheek one last time. "No, that was." She said as she unlocked her door and went in, but not before she smirked at him before she closed the door. Darien smirked to himself as he walked away. 'How am I going to survive if she keeps giving me those looks?' He thought to himself as he ran his hand through his already messy hair.
As soon as Serena got into her apartment, she looked at her message machine and noticed there was one new message on it.
'Probably Molly wanting to know what me and Darien did.' She thought as she went over to it and hit the play button as she went into her room to get dressed for bed. She was taking her hair down as she listened to the beginning of it.
"Hey Serena, this is Molly." She heard it say. 'I knew it!' Serena thought as she started to unzip her dress. "Uhm, I was just wondering what happened to you and Darien at the ball, you disappeared for quite some time and then you came back. So what did you two do? I want all the details tomorrow, tonight if possible. Well, got to go, Melvin and I are going to the movies now, bye!" Then, she heard a beep. Serena shook her head. "That Molly, always one for gossip!" She said to herself as she yawned and turned out the light next to her bed and slipped herself into the covers.
She fell asleep in no time at all, thanks to the thoughts of her wonderful new boyfriend, Darien.
