Wedding Dreams Fulfilled? Chapter One: The Engagement

It was the most beautiful sunset, breath-taking. They were watching it from their table. They were on a dinner date, like on most Friday nights, except tonight they were at the most gorgeous beach restaurant in Tokyo. Seated outside on the terrace, they were completely alone. Everyone else was inside. The perfect, warm summer night for him to surprise his love. She had given no thought to why they were the only ones out there; she was just enjoying the lovely evening. She was spending it with him and no one else. They never got to be alone together, not even on their dates, she was very happy just to be alone with him, even if just for five minutes.

He shocked her when he took her hand and she realized he had not been watching the sunset at all, but focused on her and her beauty. She saw love and passion in his eyes as they captured her. All her attention was on him now, than he spoke to her in almost a whisper.

"Serena I love you . . ."

"I know Darien," she formed a sweet and loving smile "I love you too."

He began to stand and she continued to follow his eyes until he was in front of her, at her eye level, then he spoke again. "Are you sure?" he asked this very seriously, "Will you die for me, cry for me, do anything to be with me?"

She was concerned and very worried 'What's going on?' she thought. She tilted her head to the side and began to ask him but was stopped by his very serious tone.

"Don't ask questions, just answer me."

Without any hesitation she nodded and said "Yes" with seriousness in her voice.

He kissed her and asked "Will you do anything for me?"

She again nodded yes.

"Well to answer the question in your mind, nothing is wrong," he paused and released her right hand, but held strong her left. She was still focused on his eyes, which still held her gaze that she didn't even notice that let go of her right hand to retrieve something from his pocket. He took her left hand in both of his as he gently slid a beautiful pink square-cut diamond with two smaller white diamonds resting on a platinum band on her left ring finger. "Will you marry me my love, and if you say no you have lied to me and I will surely die right here, right now."

Her eyes were watery and still capture by his. The biggest smile spread across her face as she leapt from her chair and kissed him with all the love and passion she had inside of her. After the long passionate kiss ended she spoke to him. "Yes," she said to in a whisper, "I could never cause you pain because when you hurt I hurt, when you cry I cry with you, and if you were to die I would also die. I love you and without you there is no me." She kissed him again gently and very lovingly, and they rose together, and kissed yet again.

He broke this kiss and pulled her close to him. She felt closer than ever to him and wished for the moment to never end, but it did when the waiter came with their bill. They left the restaurant with their arms around each other and big smiles.

They held on the car ride to Serena's house. She realized that they had to tell her parents. 'Did Darien ask her father first or were they in for some big news.' She also was trying to figure out how they were able to spend the entire evening alone, especially with Rini visiting and Serena had to share Darien. 'Did every one else know, was she the last one told.' Finally she decided to stop thinking and ask her new fiancé. "Darien?"

"Hum?" he looked briefly form the road to her.

"Who else knows?" looking at him.

"Know what?"

"About the engagement?"

He took her hand and kissed it "If you're thinking you're the last to know, you're not." She looked at him questioningly.

"Who knew before me?"

"I did!" He said jokingly, but knew that wasn't the answer she was looking for.

"You know what I mean!"

"I know . . . well . . . Rini know because if you noticed, she's not here and I had to make sure it was just the two of us tonight . . ."

"Who else?" she was demanding now.

"Well when I first started thinking about proposing I asked you father's permission, he would have killed me and forbid you to ever see me again," He looked at her and she was giggling at the image of her father losing his temper because Darien didn't ask permission before he proposed.

Serena began to sober up, "And he said yes?" almost disbelieving.

"Surprisingly, yeah, but that was a while ago."

"How long ago?"

"When I was going to go to New York to study remember?"

"How could I forget, my life changed, I felt so empty inside, I was completely alone, and I thought I had lost you forever. But that was when I was fifteen, that was almost three years ago."

"I know. I was thinking about asking you before I left, because I wasn't sure exactly how long I'd be living there."

"So basically my dad will be shocked and freak out. Great."

"You don't think he'll really freak out . . .do you?" Darien was starting to look nervous.

"I'm not really sure. I mean . . .he has grown more fond of you . . .but . . .I don't know."

"Well I guess we'll just find out when we get to your house won't we."

"I guess we will."

"Good because we're here. It's the big moment, are you ready?"

"Yes . . ." she was starting to get nervous.

"Okay! Let's g-"

"BUT WHAT IF THEY ASK QUESTIONS!"

"Then we'll answer them."

"But what if we can't answer them?"

"Then we'll tell them we don't know," He gave her hand a light reassuring squeeze. "Come on." Darien got out of the car and walked over to Serena's side and opened the door for her and helped her out.

"You seem really calm about this." She gave him a suspicious look.

"Trust me I'm anything but calm right now, but I'm acting calm for your sake. I thought that if I was calm then you would be calm too."

They had reached the door as Darien finished talking. Serena pulled him down to her and gave him a sweet and reassuring kiss, for herself as much as for him, smiled and said, "Have a little faith Darien. As long as we're together we'll make it through."

He smiled at her and they walked into the house holding hands fingers locked.
