Second Chances

Chapter 6

The door bell rang as Darien walked down the stairs to answer it. He opened the door to find Angela standing at the door with a big smile on her face as she said in her most seductive voice "hello Darien"

Darien tried to avoid the tension he felt as he told her "hi Angela how are you?"

Angela smiled at him as she thought how considerate he was as she told him "I'm fine thank you"

Darien invited her in as he told her "I'm so glad you could make it in such short notice"

Angela just smiled at him as she told him "I would do anything for you Darien and besides you know how much I love kids"

Darien tried to change the subject but then turned to her as he said "yes well Serena and I really do appreciate it" right at that moment Serena came walking down the stairs as she smiled at Angela and told her "Angela thank you so much for coming"

Angela smiled at Serena as she asked "so where are the twins"

Serena turned to the stairs as she yelled up "Rini, Jamie come down here please"

A moment later two twins came running down the stairs with there faces full of chocolate as they asked "yes mom"

Serena looked at her two children as she told Darien "they must have found the candy draw"

Darien smiled at Serena as he told her "yes but don't worry about it right now. I'm sure Angela can handle it right"

Angela beamed up at Darien with pride as she told him "of course I can, leave everything to me"

Serena smiled knowing her children were in good hands as she told Darien "okay let's go"

Before they could take one step near the door Rini and Jamie grabbed onto there mothers leg as they pleaded "can't we come"

Serena turned and kneeled down to her children so she was eye level with them as she told them "sorry this is a grown up nights out, but be good for Angela and no fighting. I love you both" she gave them both a big hug as she stood up and then turned to Angela as she told her "try to have them in bed by 9. Keep the door locked and don't answer the phone unless it's me or Darien, and if you need to get us our cell phone numbers are on the refrigerator. Oh and if you get hungry please help yourself".

Darien took Serena's hand as he told her "don't worry she's got it. Angela's very responsible now how about we go have some fun"

Serena turned to Darien as a big smile graced her lips she told him "that sounds great" they walked out the door as Serena yelled out "be good" and Angela shut the door behind them.

They walked to the end of the driveway where Darien had his old bike waiting all polished up so it looked like new as he told her "ready to go"

Serena nodded her head as she grabbed the passenger helmet and put it on as she smiled at him "still fits"

Darien couldn't help but smile as he hopped on the bike and Serena got on behind him as he felt her arms wrap around him he told her "hold on tight" and before she knew it they had taken off down the road.

They drove till they were over by the coast where Darien parked the bike just in time to see the sunset as Serena turned to Darien and told him "I had forgotten how beautiful it was up here"

Darien smiled at her as he asked "do you remember all the times we use to come up here together on the weekends back when we were in college"

Serena smiled as she told him "how could I forget. It was so serene a good place to take all your troubles away"

Darien nodded his head and Serena could tell there was something bothering him as she turned to him and asked "Darien is this why where here? Is something bothering you?"

Darien went quiet for a moment and then turned to her as he said "when we were in college. If we had trouble communicating or we knew something was bothering each other. We could always come here this was our spot"

Serena nodded her head as she told him "yes it was. What is it Darien what are you trying to say?"

Darien turned away feeling like he was going to chicken out as Serena told him "what ever it is just say it"

Darien turned back to her as he said "I'm leaving tomorrow"

Serena was in shock as she asked him "so soon"

He nodded his head as he told her "yes I have to get back"

Serena looked to him as she asked "will you ever come back to New York"

Darien took her hands in his as he told her "of course, I'll be back real soon I promise, but I do have to leave now"

Serena shook her head as she told him "I understand we'll have to tell the kids though there going to miss you"

Darien smiled at her as he said "I'll miss them too and I'll miss you"

Serena tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall as she told him "I'll miss you too, but you will call and write won't you"

Darien smiled as he told her "every chance I get. Now how about we enjoy the rest of this beautiful night while we still can"

Serena nodded her head as she told him "sounds good to me"

They hopped back onto the bike and took off until they reached a large stretch of beach where Darien hopped off the bike and then took Serena's hand helping her off as she turned to him and asked "what are we doing here"

Darien smiled at her as he said "I thought you might enjoy dancing under the stars"

Serena shook her head thinking Darien was crazy as she told him "but we have no music"

Before she knew it Darien had taken a small radio out of one of his side bags as he turned to her and asked "may I have this dance"

Serena felt swept away as they danced in this magical setting under the stars and she didn't want this night to end ever.

Eventually though all good things had to come to an end. They arrived back at the house a quarter after 12. Darien parked the car on the driveway as they walked up to the door as Darien turned to Serena and asked "did you have a nice evening tonight"

Serena smiled up at him as she said "yes it was wonderful I just wish you didn't have to leave tomorrow"

Darien took her hands in his as he told her "I know but I have too"

Serena turned away as she told him "you're right. I'm sorry. I've kept you here for too long already to help me and the kids; when you probably have some beautiful super model girlfriend waiting for you back home."

Darien cut her off as he told her "Serena I didn't stay because you forced me too. I stayed because I wanted too. You, Rini, and Jamie are my family"

Serena found herself caught up in Darien's eyes as they slowly came together and ended up kissing.

After a moment Serena pulled away quickly as she told him "we should go inside" then started to open the door as Darien stood there stunned but then followed her in.

Angela stood up from the couch as she saw the two walk in feeling the tension that was in the room as she asked "did you have a fun night"

Serena nodded her head as she said "yes thank you. How are the kids?"

Angela smiled as she told her "there wonderful in there beds sleeping like two angels"

Serena smiled at her as she said "great if you don't mind I'm going to go check on the kids"

Serena retreated upstairs as Darien watched her go and then turned back to Angela as he asked "so how much do I owe you"

Angela turned to him as she said "oh 20's good"

Darien grabbed a twenty dollar bill out of his wallet and handed it to her as he told her "thank you again"

Angela took the money as she headed towards the door and said good night as Darien closed it behind her. Right after he closed the door he looked up to see Serena standing by the stairs as she walked down and turned to him as she asked "I guess you paid Angela"

Darien nodded his head as he told her "yes" Serena looked to him as she said "thank you" Darien was about to say something when Serena started to yawn and then told him "I'm kind of tired, I think I'm going to go to bed"

He shook his head as he told her "alright good night Serena" he watched her walk upstairs and then retreated to his own room for the night.

The next morning Darien walked upstairs with a business suit on and a suitcase in each hand as he saw Serena sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee as she turned to him and said "looks like you're already to go"

Darien nodded his head as he told her "I packed last night"

Serena stood up from the table as she told him "well then let's get this over with" she yelled upstairs "Rini, Jamie come down here please"

Two very groggy kids came walking down the stairs as Jamie asked "what is it mom, it's a Saturday"

Serena turned to the kids as she told them "I know and I'm sorry to wake you up, but I have something important to tell you both"

Rini and Jamie looked to there mother as they asked "what is it?"

Serena looked to her children as she told them "Darien is going home today and where going to give him a nice farewell so go get dressed okay"

Jamie looked to Darien as he asked "did we do something wrong is that why your leaving"

Darien squat down on the floor as he took Rini and Jamie in his arms and then told them "no of course not, I just need to go home now, but I'll be back soon I promise"

Serena looked to kids as she told them "go upstairs and get dressed now Darien has a flight to catch" the kids ran upstairs as Serena followed them.

One hour later they were all standing in the terminal of the airport. The stewardess made the announcement that his flight was boarding as Darien turned to them and said "well I guess this is it'

Rini and Jamie each grabbed onto one leg as they begged "Darien please don't go"

Darien hugged them both as he told them "I'll be back before you know it, I promise"

Serena helped pry the kids away as Darien turned to her and said "I'll miss you Serena"

She looked back to him as she said "I'm going to miss you too. Call me when you get there"

He turned to her as he told her "I will I promise" then gave her a kiss on the cheek as he turned around and boarded the plane.

Serena stood by the window and watched until she saw the plane take off into the sky and Darien left her life once more as she felt both hands being pulled down as she looked to her children as they asked "mommy where hungry"

Serena smiled to them as she took both there hands and said "okay let's go get something to eat" and then they left the terminal.
