Chapter 2
Serena walked into work, where Mina and Raye worked as well. Both paediatricians as well. Amy was a top surgeon and Lita had her own shop.
"So tell all! Is he cute? Does he have a brother, what does he do?" Mina asked starry eyed, demanding every juicy detail as she rampaged into Serena's office.
Serena thought of his black hair, that fit body, those blue eyes that seemed to look into a persons soul and send her stomach twizzling.
"Darien appears to be suitable, but he's not my type. He works as a paramedic in another hospital. He seems nice and will be attending the banquet with me" said Serena in a -matter-of-factly tone of voice.
"Aww Serena give him a chance, maybe you two will hot it off" Raye said, suddenly being nice.
"I doubt it, I'm not the beer and barbecue type" she said checking a patients file.
"Aww come on Serena you couldn't be a snob if you tried." Mina said perchng on Serena's desk. Serena looked at her office, being a paediatrician she wanted to make her young patients comfortable. Not uncomfortable. Looking around, the brightly coloured happy walls. The soft toys, mostly bunny's, Even Serena's lab coat had a bunny on it, and her stethoscope which had a fuzzy bunny on it.
Serena was well known for her no nonsense manner towards the little patients, She played with the stuffed bunny's ears which sat on her desk.
"If I had my own way. I wouldn't even be going to this banquet. Its going to be a snoozer. The food is going to be horrible and the people snobby." She said to herself.
"don't whine Serena, You have date for the party, go and have fun!"
"So your going to some fancy banquet with a doc then Darien?" Brent asked his brother as they played football in the back yard
"Mum always said not to refuse a free meal" he grinned throwing the ball back
"What she like then?"
"Okay-looking, if you like the uptight type, She's a doctor and came across as a bit stuck up. She insisted on taking her car after seeing dads truck"
"Maybe it wasn't the truck putting her off, just meeting the wrong brother." he grinned. "She needs to meet your handsome brother."
"Maybe" he shrugged. "If I had one!"
"When you think dad'll be finished on your car?"
"Urm soon I hope." he said throwing the ball again.
Their father was known to be the best mechanic in the country, Brent heartily agreed.
For someone who always had the right thing to say, nothing came to mind for Darien, he was finally lost for words.
"My, You look like you've never seen a woman before." Serena snapped stepping past him so she could enter his apartment. "What have you done with your tie?"
"Tied it?" he grinned trying to clear his throat.
Serena looked at the messed up tie, crooked everywhere. "I don't think so!" she said, she moved his hands away and tied a perfect bow.
Never had Darien imagined this would be the same woman, he didn't expect her to wear a red dress that would indeed make traffic stop. He passed her a single red rose.
Her hair, the graceful flowing blonde hair was styled in the odango's like last time, but the odango's were laced with red flowers….a bit like…small roses. The rest of her hair, flowing down, almost reaching her ankles. He looked down seeing the dress, strapless and white Golden circles formed round the top line of the dress. Golden pearls sat underneath her breasts The dress flowed down and reached the floor, He eye makeup made her Eyes look more blue and fuller than before, her lips, the shimmery pink gloss that covered them looked very kissable.
No doctor should smell this good.,
"You look great" she crisply said finishing his tie. "You ready?" she asked.
"And willing." he grinned…not that the grin was returned
"Smiling doesn't smudge lipstick you know" he said, following her to his car.
"I don't allow smoking in my car" she warned
"That's good because I don't smoke" he smiled,
"This new?" he asked, looking at the bright red car
"Relatively" she said starting the car and heading off.
"Like I said. I do thank you for coming with me"
"don't worry about it. I never mind pulling out the old tux for an evening of fun." he grinned
Whatever Serena was going to say back was halted as a dark figured seemed to flow next to the drivers door. A light gleamed as the Metal pressed against her temple…
