Thank you guys SO much for your reviews, it brings butterflies in my stomach when I read them, hoping that they would be good heh heh. Anyway, I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter, I think I'll be updating more often but, I don't know. My school work is getting much harder (finals have arrived!), and I'm getting prepared for Grad and what not. But anyway, this chapter might not be as interesting but, I need to make those main points in this chapter to be noticed, just so I could go on with the rest of the story. So, I hope that you guys will forgive me for the long wait.

Chapter Six - Spilling Out Secrets
Serena began to knock on the door, wondering if Raye would be in there since she didn't have the keys to open her door. Throughout that time, Darien was taking a couple of glances at her face. But when Serena would look at him, he would look at another direction. And when he did, Serena smiled at herself, and began to knock on the door again.
Raye opened the door steadily, and stepped out immediately when she saw Darien.
"Raye, what took you so long to open the door?" Serena asked, putting her hand on her hip.
"Well, I just got off the phone with my boyfriend. What are you doing right now, Serena?"
"I'm just getting my stuff, you know." She looked at Darien and said, "I don't have that much stuff, just to tell you."
Darien smiled, and said, "Okay then."
"I still can't believe how big your dorm is, it's amazing. You guys have so much space compared to Raye and me." Serena said, while looking around the main room.
"I'll show you where you are going to sleep," Darien said, while leading Serena into a room. When Darien opened the door, Serena's mouth dropped instantly. She looked all over the bedroom, and was so surprised.
"No way… I can't sleep here! Where are you going to sleep?" She asked, while roaming around the room.
"I'm going to be sleeping on the couch." He said, while pointing at it.
"Wait, don't you have a room though?"
He laughed, "You're in it." He began walking towards her.
"WHAT! THIS IS YOUR ROOM? YEAH RIGHT! This is as big as my dorm!" She said while looking at him in the eye.
"Hmm… maybe next year, I'll try getting you a bigger dorm." He said, while thinking about it.
"Wait, how can you do that though?" She had a questioning look on her face.
"I umm… I have connections…" Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
"Well, you don't have as much stuff as I thought you would." Said Darien, while sitting on the couch.
"Yeah, I'm only staying for a week or two. And plus, if I needed anything, I could just go over to my dorm, and get it." She sat on the couch, and rested for a bit. Serena leaned her head back, and closed her eyes for a quick moment. She wondered what it would be like for the next week or two. Would something strange happen? Or more importantly, will something strange happen between them?
"So… what's this thing about Raye, making you move out and stuff. Andrew didn't really tell me all the details." Said Darien, trying to make conversation.
"Oh, her boyfriend just came in town so, we both agreed that she should be alone with him. I don't want to interfere with anything."
"How come this guy was out of town?" He asked, being a little more curious.
"Well… they dated in the last year of high school right? And, his parents had a job from out of town, so his family had to move. But, he promised her that whenever he had time off, he would come visit her, and spend time with her. They didn't want to break up either, since they been together for a long time. They didn't want to wreck there relationship just because he had to move."
"Oh… I guess that makes sense. But, long distant relationships might be hard to handle, because you wouldn't know what the other person is doing."
"Hmm…. I guess so. But, as long as you trust the person, I think that everything will be alright." She said, trying to defend Raye.
"Why, have you ever had a long distant relationship?" He asked, wondering if she has ever had a bond with another guy.
"Well, no I Haven't." Well, at least I'm telling the truth. I never had a long distant relationship before…
"Have you ever had a boyfriend before?" He questioned.
"Sorry to ask but, why ask all of a sudden?" She said, trying to get him off the topic.
"Well, I'm just wondering; since we're already on that topic. Sorry if I said or asked anything that you didn't want to answer."
"It's okay but, maybe I'll tell you about it later." Why does he want to know anyway? She wondered, being just a bit puzzled. She let out a sigh, and slumped in the couch.
Darien looked at her and asked, "Are you tired?"
She opened her eyes, and sat up straight, "Not really actually."
His mind went off a bit, wondering what they should do for their spare time, since unpacking her things was not time consuming. "Want to get something to drink? They just opened a new coffee place downstairs." He asked, while still looking at her.
"Do you think it would be crowded though?" She said, while slumping just a little bit.
"No, not really. Either way, I could get past everyone." He got up, and was making his way to the door.
"Hmm… please tell me that there is something behind all of this. Is it because of the ladies that think you're adorable that will let you pass through? But hmm… what about the guys…" She said, while laughing softly. She began to walk towards the door as well. Darien began to twist the doorknob and said,
"Maybe I'll tell you later. Now, we both have something to say later on." He opened the door, and they both went out, planning to go to the new coffee place.
The place was actually really crowded. The place was so jam packed, they could barely even get through anywhere.
"I thought that you could get past everyone." Serena said, while giving him a smirk.
"Ha, don't even worry, just stay close by." He said, while being secure. Darien took hold of her arm, and was trying to make both of them go through the crowd. He's not serious, is he? I mean… it's just coffee! Serena thought, being unusual. They both managed to get to the front counter, and the man that was there said,
"Excuse me but, can you please wait in line just like everybody else?"
"Sorry but, this is an emergency. May I please speak to the manager please?" Darien paused, to look at his name tag, "May I please speak to the manager… Chris?" He said, while putting his elbows on the counter.
"Sorry, no one is able to talk to him at this sort of time right now but--"
"Here, I'll even show you my I.D," He took out his wallet, and took out his I.D card, and showed it to the him.
"CH-CH -CHIBA! Oh, I'll get him, be right back!" Said Chris, while rushing to the back.
He grinned, "Thanks."
"Chiba… what's wrong with that? I mean, you don't have to go through this much, it's just coffee." Serena said, while looking at everyone behind her. They all gave Serena and Darien disgusting faces.
"Do you actually want to wait for all these people?"
"No… not really." She said, while crossing her arms.
"Okay then, we can take a little short cut." He said, as he grinned.
The manager came out, being furious. "There better be a good reason why you brought me out here Mister!"
"Yeah um, I'd like to get black coffee and…," He turned to Serena, "What do you want to drink?"
"Um… a small ice cappuccino?" She said, trying to be innocent so she wouldn't be in trouble.
"Okay so, I'd like black coffee and a small ice cappuccino." Darien said, while trying to act all 'superior'.
"YOU DRAGGED ME OUT HERE BECAUSE OF THAT! DO YOU --"
"Umm… he's part of the Chiba family." Said Chris, trying to make a good impression; that was in front of the cashier, to take people orders.
"Yeah right, I doubt that any member of the Chiba family would--"
"Sorry, but I am." Darien interrupted, sounding a bit offended.
"Show me your I.D, kid." The grumpy old man wouldn't let him pass through, so, he showed him his I.D, and his eyes stuck out a tad.
"Uh--um, you look just like your father... Okay, get this man whatever he wants, as quick as possible! No time to lose!" Chris got right on it, making all of the things that Darien and Serena ordered as quick as possible, "Sorry for the misunderstanding." The manager apologized, feeling embarrassed.
"Don't worry about it. By the way, how much will this cost?"
"That will be six--" The manager immediately put his hand over Chris' mouth, and said, "Don't worry about it, it's free."
"Thanks a lot." With that, Serena and Darien both left the coffee shop, and she was left with so much surprise within herself.
Darien opened the door to 'their' dorm, and Serena was still quite surprised.
"You seemed like a celebrity back there," She took a sip out of her drink. He looked up at her, his eyebrows raising and fading beneath his bangs.
"Tell me what was that all about?" They both sat down on the couch, finally realizing that there was something interesting to talk about.
"Well… okay, I guess you don't really know who I am, do you." He said, sounding a little disappointed as well.
"Not really…" Sip.
"I don't know if I can tell you though, you might see me as a totally different person I suppose." It wasn't that Darien didn't trust her, even though everyone pretty much knows who he is.
"Whatever it is, I won't see you as a different person. And, there's no way I can treat you differently either." She said seriously.
"Well, my father is the founder and owner of this whole place. Everyone knows about him and people treat me differently because they say I have lots of money of whatever. But, it's not like I care about that. What if I was just like everyone else right? Would they still treat me the same way?" Darien hid his eyes, under his bangs.
"If people treat you that way… they aren't the people you should look up to, and pay attention to. I don't know why you even bother paying attention to them anyway. But seriously though… your father is the owner of this whole entire place?" Now, she sounded really surprised. No wonder why he was almost a celebrity! His father is pretty much, famous!
"Yeah… he is. I actually haven't seen him in a long time though actually. He's always on business trips and stuff. But, I wouldn't want to see him anyway." He took a sip of his coffee.
"Why wouldn't you want to do that though? Your parents have supported you in the most simplest way though, haven't they?" She asked, being a tad unsatisfied with his answer.
"After my mom died, he was working so hard to have a successful life. So, he got really obsessed with the work, and it felt like I wasn't even in his life anymore. So now, he put me in this place just so that I could learn to take care of myself, even though I already have a long time ago."
"I'm sorry about your mother, Darien. I bet she is pleased with how well you are doing without your father. But hey, if you need someone to talk to, or if you need someone to listen, I'll be here for you, okay?" Serena smiled, and placed her drink on the table.
"You're very easy to talk to, Serena," He paused, and looked at her face reaction, "you still haven't answered my one question though."
"What was it again?" Scrunching her face, hoping that it wasn't that difficult to answer.
He laughed, "Have you… ever had a boyfriend before?"
"Okay, I guess I can answer this… it'll be fair anyway, " She chuckled, and began to say, "Well… I had this thing with this guy once… I mean, I was hoping that nothing would go on between our friendship, even though we were both attracted to each other. I just didn't want to lose what we had so, I didn't want to go out with him. I just felt so bad, after how many times he has asked me out."
"And… you were attracted to him too? I think that you could have gone out with him though." He stated, while taking a sip of his coffee.
"No… I couldn't have. I thought it through a lot though. If we did go out, and broke up or whatever, I knew for sure that our friendship would be broken. And here's the big part. Apparently, he's supposed to come to school here." She said, while shutting her eyes for a quick second.
"Oh, really? Where is he right now, if you know?"
"His family moved as well. But, he contacted Raye, and she told me that he said that his family might be moving back here, in the city."
"Do you want him to though?" The question made Serena a bit paranoid.
"I kind of do, and I kind of don't. He's a really good friend, and I hope that we can just stay as friends. I haven't seen him in a long time though so, I don't know if he has changed or not."
He looked down at his toes, "So… what's this guys name?"
"His name is… Seiya Kou." She said smoothly.
Darien's head shot up immediately, surprised at the fact that she would know someone like Seiya Kou.
"S-Seiya Kou?" He said while stammering.
"Yeah… do you know him?" She asked, worried about his facial expression.
"Serena… don't ever date him. I mean, he's a great guy and all, but just don't think about dating him, okay?" He said seriously.
"Is something wrong? How do you even know him though?"
"He went out with my friends little sister. I know that sounds bad but, she's in the same grade as you are. She's eighteen, and her brother is twenty. Which makes us two years apart as well. But anyway, he really broke her heart Serena, and I don't want that to happen to you either." He said, trying to persuade her from getting to close to him like that.
"But… you don't know him like I do Darien. He's really sweet and gentle. He's --"
"Just… don't get to close to him like that. That's all I'm asking for." She looked directly into his eyes, and found that he had a lot of security in his eyes.
"I can't say that I can promise that… but either way, I'll learn from my mistakes."
His voice began to get tender, "Okay but, just… don't get too carried away. I don't want you to get hurt."
Why is he being like this all of a sudden? I mean… he's just protecting me from a person I have trusted, even with my life. There's no way he could be jealous, no way. Jealous? Who am I kidding? Okay… so. We have already spilled out most of our secrets. I can't believe I told him about Seiya… I didn't even talk to Amy about him. I just strongly hope that nothing will happen between us, even though we're already at the 'trusting' and 'honesty' phase. Does this seem all wrong?
