Second Chances

Chapter 3

They walked up to each other while sharing a small laugh, then threw them selves into one giant hug.

When they separated Darien couldn't help but look at how beautiful Serena looked tonight it was as if time had just stopped and they were ten years younger. He turned to her with a smile as he told her "you look beautiful tonight Serena".

Serena immediately started to blush as she looked up to Darien standing in his navy suit that was tailored just for him. As she smiled up telling him "you don't look so bad yourself".

Darien took a hold of her hand as he gave it a peck telling her "I'm glad I came tonight at first I wasn't going too".

Serena gave a small laugh as she looked up telling him "you know neither was I but I am very glad I came".

She slowly took a deep breath as she told him "I still remember that last day we spent together".

Darien looked up and smiled at her as he thought of that day.

Serena continued telling him "and in all the years since Darien I never had a friend as wonderful as you".

Darien looked into Serena's beautiful blue eyes as he told her "neither have I Serena, neither have I".

At that moment a familiar song came on Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time. The same song they danced to in the same room ten years ago.

Darien smiled up asking "would you care to dance". Serena smiled back as she told him "I'd love too".

They walked to the center of the dance floor. She rested her head on his shoulder; and for a moment it felt like no time had passed at all. It was just them on that same old dance floor – like so many times before.

After the dance Darien took Serena's hand as he led her out of the gymnasium, and they walked peacefully along the quad.

Serena walked along looking at the place she spent so much of her time as she turned to Darien with a smile telling him "you know in ten years this place hasn't changed a bit".

Darien smiled at her beautiful face as he told her "I'm glad about one thing that hasn't changed".

Serena to busy staring at the crystal blue sky didn't realize Darien was staring right at her as she turned innocently asking "oh what's that".

Darien walked closer bridging the gap between them as he told her "you".

They both stood there for a moment looking into each others eyes, when Darien came closer and he was about to kiss her.

Just as he was about to press his lips against hers a dog started barking and a night watchmen walked over shining his flash light in there eyes. "Can I help you folks"?

They both looked at each other as they realized the moment was gone and passed. Darien turned to the watchmen with a smile as he told him "we were just leaving".

Darien took Serena's hand as they went running across the quad like two teenagers again.

He led her up to an old brick building, fifth floor, third door on the right, there old dorm room.

Darien gave a knock at the door and there was no answer. He gave the knob a quick turn to see that it was unlocked, so he walked in to the room. He looked to see that it was completely empty as he smiled telling Serena "where in luck looks like the rooms vacant".

Serena hesitated for a moment not sure if she wanted to take such a giant leap into the past, but then did it anyway as she walked inside. She looked around as she started laughing.

Darien turned around surprised as Serena told him "I remember it being a lot bigger".

Darien smiled back as he told her "me too". Then they both shared a laugh. As they walked over to the window and looked out at the view; it was just as beautiful as Serena remembered.

Darien continued to look out the window as Serena walked away.

He later turned to see Serena on her hands and knees under the desk. As he smiled asking her "Serena what are you doing under there".

She quickly waved him over as she told him "Darien come here it's still there". Darien looked at her like she was crazy as he asked "what is Serena".

As he got on his hands and knees beside her, there on the right side of the desk was carved Dar and Sere wuz here.

Darien smiled at her as he told her "I forgot all about this I can't believe it's still here".

Serena laughed as she told him "I know nothing like deconstructing public property". As they both shared a laugh.

As the hours passed the two of them became very close again. They talked about everything except where they work, marital status, kids, where they live, only the important stuff.

Serena laughed as she told Darien "no if I remember right you were the one who said and I quote that the Yankees were the best team in the world. Darien laughed telling her "well at that point they were". Serena looked at him teasingly as she told him "like that should make a difference". "Oh you're getting it girl" Darien said as he started chasing her around the quad.

He finally caught up with her as he tackled her to the ground and started tickling her until she would say uncle. Then he got off her as she turned around and started tickling him back as he yelled out "cheater".

They looked around and realized they had an audience watching them. Serena and Darien stood up wiping some of the grass off of them and then walked inside, as they laughed the whole way.

When they got inside Darien got them some drinks and they sat down to talk. Darien turned asking her "so where do you live now".

She turned back telling him "I have a house about an hours ride from here, how about you?"

He smiled telling her "I'm still living in Seattle".

Serena told him "Oh how are things there I'm ashamed to say I haven't been there in years".

Darien gave a small laugh as he told her "that's okay it hasn't changed much in years".

Serena smiled up at her old friend missing these times with him when she asked "so how long are you in town for".

Darien looked back telling her "about a month, I figured I would take a vacation while I'm out here"

Serena was really happy to hear that as she asked him "great, so where are you staying"

Darien told her "at The Plaza".

Serena turned around telling him "a hotel Darien why don't you stay with me. Hotels are so cold houses are more cozy and warm"

Darien quickly thought about it then told her "Serena I don't want to be a burden".

She turned to him saying "I'm not taking no for an answer, hey we shared one room for a year, I'm sure we can stand a whole house for a month",

Darien gave in as he told her "okay as long as you're sure I won't get in the way".

Serena's face lit up as she said "I'm sure, this is going to be so much fun just like old times".

Before they knew it the night was over and people were starting to leave. Serena looked down at her watch to see that it was already 11 as she smiled at Darien saying "time flies when our having fun".

He smiled back with a wink telling her "it sure does"

They stood up and walked out to Serena's car which Darien was a little surprised to see was hers a little blue Hyundai, but he just shrugged it off and followed her back to the house.

When they got to Serena's place Darien realized there was something she was keeping from him. This was not the life style of the top of her class NYU student, but he still couldn't figure out what so he kept his mouth shut.

They walked inside and he got about the biggest surprise of them all when two kids came running up screaming mommy, mommy.

Serena bent down and grabbed both kids in a giant hug as she asked them "what are you two still doing up it's late"

Rini and Jamie both put on innocent faces.

She smiled back knowing she could never yell at them when they did that so she turned around with a smile and told Darien "these are my children Rini and Jamie"

After the shock wore off Darien bent down beside them smiling as he said "hi I'm Darien it's nice to meet you, so how old are you two".

They both smiled and said in unison "six".

Darien had to laugh at how cute they were as he told them "six that's a good age".

Serena was happy to see how well they all got along but it was almost midnight so she stood up telling Rini and Jamie "its late time for bed you can talk in the morning".

Both kids put on pouts as they went up the stairs saying "good night mommy, good night Darien".

Serena watched them go upstairs then walked into the living room to see Shanece asleep on the couch as she budged her saying "Shanece wake up"

Shanece was startled awake to see Serena staring over her as she started telling her "Mrs. Terrington I must have"

Serena cut her off telling her "yeah I know all about it you fell asleep, blah, blah, blah so how much do I owe you"

Shanece figured it out in her heads as she told her "let's see five hours two kids $100".

Darien couldn't believe what he just heard "what are you serious" he opened his wallet and handed her $30 telling her "here's thirty now get out of here".

Shanece quickly grabbed the money and left. Serena watched as she took the money and left then smiled up at Darien telling him "that was really great".

Darien was upset with Serena but he tried not to show it as he told her "don't mention it, but I think we should talk".

Serena put on a bright smile as she told him "sure give me a second Darien I just want to go tuck Rini and Jamie in okay"

Darien nodded his head "alright" as she went upstairs.

After that every time Darien tried to talk to Serena or even get a word in she always had something to do till finally she just fell asleep on the couch.

Darien took a blanket and laid it over her as he took a walk around the house and realized Serena deserved better then this they all did.
