Who is My True Love?

Chapter 14: The One and Only

Darien glanced around the ballroom. I wonder where Serena could be, he thought to himself. He caught a glimpse of blond locks turn behind the stair well and he slowly made his way around. Maybe it's her, he thought He stopped in surprise to find that it wasn't.

Venuslite's eyes widened slightly in shock after turning to find Darien. That man...do I know him, she pondered. Where have I seen him before?

She gave a small smile and brushed a few stray strands of hair away from her eyes. "My, my, look at you," she said, looking at him up and down.

He gave her an apologetic look. "I'm so sorry, Miss, but I was actually looking for someone."

She looked around and smiled back at him slyly. "Well, it doesn't look like she's here. So, you have no date." She took his arm. "Which means, you have to come dance with me."

"What's wrong, Serena?" Amy asked. She and Mina were the only ones left.

Serena sighed. "It's just that I was hoping Darien would be here."

Mina put her arm around her. "Don't worry about it, Serena. You can just have fun without him. Besides, you see him like everyday."

She looked up. "Maybe you're right."

Mina smiled. "Of course I am."

Master Galaxius peered over at Serena and the others. "Well, Mercurio, it appears I'm going to need your assistence."

Mercurio smirked. "Don't worry. Just leave it to me."

He moved out of the shadows and made his way to the girls. "So, why is it that such beautiful ladies as yourselves have not been asked to dance yet?"

They all looked up and blushed from his charm.

Mina was the first to speak. "Well, it's not like we all don't have dates." She lied.

Mercurio smiled. "Where are they then? I don't think they'd just leave you here, unless they ditched you for another girl."

She turned red. "Hey, who asked for your opinion?"

"I'll dance with you, sir."

It was Amy. Serena and Mina gasped at her boldness.

Mercurio held out his arm. "Well, right this way, Miss." He flashed the others a toothed-smile. "See you girls later."

Mina sighed. "I guess it's you and me n--Serena, where are you going..." She trailed off.

Serena was frozen to her feet. She finally had what she was looking for. She stood in shock at the sight of the other girl Darien had his arms around. The two danced on.

Her legs felt like they were going to buckle, but she started making her way over. "Dari--" She stopped.

A white rose was held in front of her.

"Why in such a hurry?" A tall blue-eyed man stepped in front of her. His rose matched his white tuxedo.

"Well..." Serena started.

He put a finger to her lips. "No need to waste such a beautiful voice on me. Come. Come dance with me."

Before Serena could reply, he was already leading her to another room. Maybe it's okay, she thought to herself. Darien is here dancing with some other girl. I can't believe that liar!

He placed his arms around her waist. "You are simply too beautiful to come here alone. You must have a boyfriend, don't you?"

Serena took a long moment to answer. " 'Did' is the word you're looking for."

His look didn't change. "And why is that?"

"Because he's here with another girl."

That got his attention. "Oh, I see..."

"But right now, I really don't care if he is or not."

"Well, don't worry about it. You don't need to waste your time on disloyalty."

Serena looked up. "What is your name?"

He paused. "Alex."

She smiled. "Well, my name's Serena."

Alex pulled her in closer. I know, he thought.
