Thank you all for the reviews! Well, here is the next chapter!
I Told You So
The next day, Serena did her best to ignore Darien, but it was kind of hard.
Serena pretended not to notice the man that was begging for her to talk to him.
"Serena, please! Look, I'm sorry and you're right. I was just giving you a warning and I guess it went out of hand. I'll admit that I don't like this guy, but I'm okay that you're going out with him."
Serena continued to ignore him.
"Serena! Are you listening to me?" Darien sighed and went in front of her and put his hands on her arms to stop her. "You can ignore me all you want, but there is no way that you can keep this up. We are supposed to be friends and we can't let this get in the way. Come find me when you forgive me," he said and walked away.
At the end of the day she met up with Seiya and he took her to the arcade.
"So, Sere Baby, how was your day?" Seiya asked.
"Fine, just fine," she replied trying not to let the nickname get to her and remembering how Darien kept bothering her.
"Baby, you don't have to hide anything. We can talk to each other while we enjoy a strawberry milkshake."
"I really don't want to talk about it right now," she said while they got out of their car.
He grabbed her wrist. "You are going to give into me whether you like it or not."
His reaction shocked her. "What are you doing?"
"Don't you want me baby?" he asked hoarsely pushing her against a wall.
"Seiya, stop," she said begging him to let go.
He began kissing her hard and slipped his free hand under her shirt.
"Seiya! I said stop!" she screamed as she felt his hand go up her shirt and tried to wiggle free, but he was too strong and her mind completely forgot her training.
"You like that?" he said and ignored her pleas.
She was about to make a move when she heard a voice.
"You heard her, let the girl go," said a deep familiar voice.
Darien still had a bad feeling, but decided to go visit Andrew.
He parked his car near Seiya's car. Then he heard a scream and ran to the voice.
He saw Seiya trying to take advantage of Serena.
"You heard her, let the girl go."
Seiya stopped and looked at the mysterious dark figure.
"What if I don't?"
"Then, you'll meet my hand to your fist. Or you can count on never being able to have children. You choose."
Seiya let go of her and swung a fist, but Darien caught it and twisted it painfully. Darien then threw a punch and hit him square on the jaw and again that would give him a black eye. He would have kept swinging, but Serena stopped him. Serena grabbed Seiya's wrist and flipped him over her in the air and kicked him. He fell to the ground. Darien looked with admiration written on his face.
Darien came back to his senses. He pulled her into an embrace and warned, "Stay away from her, or you will be getting more than this."
Serena smiled at him. "Thanks Darien, but I can handle him. I was close to getting out of his clutches and escape and protect myself."
"I can see that."
"But I'm glad that you came when you did. That was sweet," she said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm sorry that things went this way."
"Oh, say it already, tell me, 'I told you so.' I was so stupid," she said breaking down.
He pulled her into a hug and she cried into his shirt. "No, you're not. You're smart, when you want to be. And sometimes you can be too stubborn, but, hey, that's what I like about you." he added barely loud enough to hear.
She did hear, but couldn't believe it. She got out of the hug and sniffed. "What was that?"
He stuttered, "I-um, nothing. I said sometimes you can be so stubborn, but that's you?"
"Okay," she said not truly believing what he said.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
"No, how about we keep talking over some milkshakes. We never really got to 'catch up'."
He laughed and grabbed her hand as they raced to the arcade.
See, I told you everything would be okay! I got rid of that ugly Seiya that everybody hates, or should I say, not fond of. Hehehe… Well, I can't wait to type up the next chapter. Till next time!
