Chapter 16: Perfect Night

The second kiss was much more soft, gentle, unrushed, and less forceful. It had a lot more meaning then the first kiss, so they took their time, and tried to savor every moment of this kiss.

They finally knew how they felt about each, and the kiss was like a release of all the built of tension that's been happening between them.

As they kissed, Darien slowly backed Serena down to the couch, their lips never once parted. She didn't object, her mind was too into the kiss. They lie down on the couch, Darien on top of her.

Serena's body and mind felt like it was on fire. This was her second kiss, and she didn't know why she couldn't think of anything at the moment but wanting Darien more and more. Their kiss now started to get more passionate. Darien's hand was now at her waist, and slowly creeping under her shirt…

Something in Darien's mind snapped, and he pulled away, slowly from Serena. When his mouth left hers, her eyes fluttered open. Darien saw the desire in her eyes and sat up, getting off of her. Both of their breathing was fast, their chests heaving up and down. Darien ran his hand through his hair. He knew he wanted more, but he couldn't.

Serena looked up at him, a little puzzled. "Did.. did I do something wrong?" she asked, looking a little worried. She didn't know what she'd done. She was new at all of this.

Darien shook his head and smiled at her. "No, you did nothing wrong at all. We're just… moving too fast," he said, looking in her eyes.

Serena nodded. She knew that her body reacted to him every time he touched her, and she liked it, but she agreed that they were moving too fast. There was still a lot that they didn't know about each other.

"Let's start off with me asking you on a date first," Darien said, pulling her to him.

She smiled happily, hugging him, and resting her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beat. It was beating pretty fast at the moment. I have this affect on him, she thought, smiling to herself.

"How about tomorrow night, around 7? I'll take you out to a restaurant or something," Darien said, leaning his head and resting it on top of hers.

"That sounds wonderful," Serena said, closing her eyes.

They just cuddled and talked the rest of night before Serena had to leave. Serena finally got the guy she wanted, and Darien finally got the girl he wanted.

-------------------------

Serena was back in her room around 10:30. She's already taken a shower, and changed in her pj's. She was sitting cross-legged on the couch, waiting for Ami. I bet she'll have a lot to tell me, Serena thought happily. Tonight has been a perfect night for her. She just hoped it was the same for Ami.

Serena heard some talking outside the door around 10:40, so she turned down the TV and tried to listen.

----------------------------

Brett walked Ami to the door, and he stuck his hands in his pockets. Ami turned around, and smiled at him.

"Thank you for a lovely evening Brett," She said, looking into his hazel eyes. Ami was wearing a simple, yet elegant black dress. She usually wore her hair just straight down, since it was already short, but tonight, she curled some of it in cute little spiral curls, and pinned up the sides.

"Thank you for coming," he smiled back.

They both learned a lot about one another, and they found out that they had a lot in common. Their favorite color was blue, they liked supreme pizza's, their favorite t.v. show was Family Guy. They laughed a lot when they were around each other, and they had the same sense of humor.

Ami was somewhat sad that the evening had to end so early, even though they've been out since about 7. This was her first official date with a very charming man. He treated her so well, and he really paid attention to her. He even opened the doors for her. And every time she'd talk, he'd seem completely interested in whatever she'd have to say. She couldn't have asked for a more perfect first date.

"Well… goodnight," Ami said, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

"Goodnight," Brett replied. He took her right hand with his, and kissed the top of it, and gave her a little bow of the head.

Ami looked at her hand, and then at him as he walked off in the direction of the elevator. Oh, he is so perfect.

----------------------

Ami couldn't help but smile when she opened the door, and came inside. She put down her purse, and saw Serena sitting on the couch, smiling up at her. Ami grinned even bigger, and started shrieking and screaming, jumping up and down. Serena laughed, got up and joined her.

When the girls let that out of their system, they sat down and started filling each other in about what happened tonight.

Ami started, "Oh, he is so wonderful."

"I knew you'd like him," Serena said, her elbow on top of the couch, her head resting on her hand.

"Aww, thank you Serena! I had such a perfect night… He took me to a cute little restaurant, and we even slow-danced!" Ami said, excitedly.

"Aw.. that's so cute."

"And we actually have a lot in common too."

"Like what?" Serena asked, interested.

"Oh, well.. like we like the same color, the same band, the same genre of music.. lots of things," Ami replied, thinking. "Well, enough about my night, how was yours?"

"Mine was just as wonderful as yours was," Serena said, smiling widely.

"Really!"

"Yes. Me and Darien finally confessed to each other that we liked each other. Well.. I guess he confessed to me..." Serena said.

"Hah! I knew it! I knew it! You two liked each other but wouldn't say anything to anyone," Ami said, pointing at Serena.

Serena rolled her eyes, smiling at Ami. "Well, our first date is going to be tomorrow night!"

"Oh my gosh! That is great!"

"Thanks," Serena said. "Looks like we both got what we wanted tonight, huh?"

"We sure did," Ami replied, smiling.
