Never Will We Be That Wonderful: Chapter 3
"Like I said why do you care?" I questioned while bending down to tie up my shoes.
"I told because you're Raye's friend and I don't need to be hearing about how Serena was let down by some poor pathetic guy for days upon days…" He stopped abruptly and looked hard into my eyes. This was most definitely a lie for one thing Raye wouldn't go on about anybody's miseries for days other than her own let alone me she doesn't give a damn about anybody other than someone who will help influence her status in the school, not that it can get any higher.
"What are you talking about?" I questioned while giving him a cold stare back, just than I heard a car door slam and I watched Chad slowly make his way up the driveway. "Please Darien I'm a big girl I'm not about to let myself get into a car with a man I don't trust so please leave, this is embarrassing!"
"whatever," He spat and than jumped down the few steps outside and made his way to his black Z71.
"Hey Darien what are you doing here?" asked Chad in a friendly manner.
"Fuck off Chad," He scowled after passing Chad and with the slam of a truck door he was gone.
"Hey Serena, wow you look really pretty," stated Chad as he offered me my coat. Pretty, at this point in my life I consider this an insulting term. I've observed guys use it before on women it's what they say when they have nothing else to say. They might as well just say wow you look average, you're not really hot but I guess you're not ugly so you're pretty. Sure some disagree with this theory but I have an example to back my theory. Ever watch a girl show a guy a picture of her not so pretty best friend and say 'don't you think she's so hot?' without fail the guy, not wanting to insult his girlfriend will say 'ya she's pretty' my point made.
"Thanks," I smiled, than noticing his eyes wander up and down my petite figure I pulled the coat tight over my chest.
"Can we go or do I have to meet your parents?" He joked while leaning against the door frame.
"We can leave, and no you definitely don't have to meet my parents," I giggled politely while turning to head towards the kitchen. As I opened the door that went to the kitchen I bumped into a small figure who had been staring through the door that was open a jar.
"Oh Serena the other guy was so much better looking why couldn't you have stuck with him?" sighed my mother while returning back to the kitchen counter.
"Because this one cares about me," I replied while kissing her on the cheek and returned to Chad who was waiting patiently for me at the door.
"Shall we?" He smiled while holding his hand out to me. Chad always had this diviner appeal to him, he was goofy no questions asked and he dressed relatively the same. Once dark blue faded jeans and a t-shirt which I guess complimented his mop of light brown hair that covered his smoldering gray eyes and his unshaven chin gave him this look like he was a cowboy.
"Let's go," I laughed at his medieval manners. When we approached Chad's navy blue t-bird he ran to the other side of the car and opened my door for me in true gentlemen fashion. Darien had to have been wrong about this boy.
At the restaurant…
"Serena I often wonder why you never have a boyfriend?" Chad asked
while his eyes took rest on my neck, an odd place for eyes to linger
but none the less. If Darien was so wrong than wht was I so tense.
"It's a mystery," I stuttered, than recovered my speech with a grin worth of the Cheshire cat himself.
"A mystery indeed, I've been meaning to ask you on a date for a long time actually because there's something I wanted to talk to you about," He stated getting my attention with how serious his goofy face had become. What was he going to ask, will you loose your virginity too me? Maybe I'm being paranoid, but if I'm so paranoid than why does it feel weird. That's it before he has his chance of bringing it up I'm butting in.
"Look Chad before you say anything I just have to make this clear I'm not interested in loosing my virginity to you," I explained politely, but instead of the cocky look I was expecting his face turned completely confused. He looked at me as if I had just told him I was a man.
"I beg your pardon but you think I want to sleep with you? I'm sorry Serena but that was never my intention. I couldn't I'm not in love with you," He smiled sincerely conveying the truth.
This is the gentlemen that I knew existed, Darien lied to me for some unknown reason because one thing is certain Chad is still a virgin. 'I couldn't I'm not in love with you' those words are so pure and poetic without even trying to be. No guy who was trying to get in a girls pants could ever say something so natural without meaning it.
"I'm sorry I must have been misinformed of something, I shouldn't listen to silly rumors," I blushed, he than smiled in understanding.
"Its okay I understand that happens sometimes but what I was really trying to get at was, that this date is kind of a 'fake date' as it were. Please don't think I'm a conceited jerk because in truth I think you would do the same. I am smitten with Raye and she stays with that stupid ass hole Darien…" He continued on but my attention span grew thin the moment he referred to our date as 'fake'.
So I was duped here to talk about someone else, isn't that how things go though? I'm the dear Abby to everyone now it seems. To think Chad had to ask me out on a date to get information on Raye. I feel like screaming at him 'if there was some way I could get one night alone with Darien Chiba without the whole world thinking I was fucking him I would! You could have Raye I don't care!' but now that would be rude and so is what I'm about to do.
"Look Chad, if you wanted to ask me about Raye why did you need to ask me out on a date to do it?" I asked as politely as I could, whilst attempting to calm the fire dragon buried deep inside me.
"I didn't think you would want to hang out with me on a friendly basis, plus no offence Serena but you barely seem to go out these days," He replied looking at my shocked face.
"Okay look, I can't help you with Raye and next time you want to talk about some other girl with me just ask me out as a friend for coffee not on a date!" I whispered sharply than turned from the table and headed towards the exit, I hope he was dumb founded and embarrassed.
I've always been told I'm self centered by my mom and even by Minako, but recently I've realized how much I give up for everyone else and how little I get back in return. Whether it's getting my boyfriend some spectacular ring for his birthday present and him turning around and handing me a regular ball point pen with my name engraved on it… He did the engraving himself when he was stoned, wow thoughtful.
I all of a sudden heard this horn honk at me and when I turned around I saw a familiar Z71 slowing down to me, it was Darien. Well now it makes sense why he didn't want me to go out with Chad, he didn't want me telling Chad nonsense about him and Raye… Not that I have nonsense to tell Darien.
"Did he hurt you?" He asked me as we drove down the road.
"Ha, nope he just embarrassed the hell out of me," I smirked looking out my side window. "I didn't even get to eat my dinner because I left before it had arrived,"
"Are you hungry?" questioned Darien as he turned his truck down another road.
"A little," I replied smiling meekly at how comfortable this felt, to be in a truck with him and not fighting. "Why did you tell me he wanted to have sex with me, when in truth all he wanted was info on you and Raye?"
"I didn't want you to go on a date with him because I knew that's what he would do," He answered.
"Why couldn't you have just told me that?" I asked a little confused.
"Would you have listened to me? No you wouldn't have, in fact you didn't even listen when I told you he was a slut," he whispered, I than watched as a small smirk grew from the corner of his lip.
"Mr. Chiba are you smirking at me?" I giggled while propping my head on my arm against the window.
"Never," He answered while breaking into a full hearted smile that showed his small dimples on his cheeks, I guess I was one of those girls who cherished every little detail of people even down to their small dimples.
"And why are you smirking at me?" I laughed.
"'Cause you're making me laugh, and you never make me laugh so it's weird," he said while trying to cover up his laughter. "So what did Chad ask you about me and Raye?"
"He just basically confessed his love for her than I didn't listen to the rest I was far to humiliated to care," I explained.
"He confessed his love? He's not in love with her…" He trailed on about Chad.
"Are you in love with her?" I interrupted him, this I could see threw him off guard and the truck began to reach a stop. I looked around and we were in the parking lot of a drive in restaurant.
He shut off the automobile and faced me looking into my light blue eyes.
"Am I in love with her?" he repeated my question. "No, how could I be in love with a thorn in my side?"
I was shocked, he wasn't drunk this time and yet he just completely insulted Raye and not only that but to her best friend, is this some pathetic attempt to get me to repeat it to Raye and have her dump him so he doesn't have to do it? Of course I wouldn't do that he would leave my life forever and I'd never even speak with him again.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked him staring back at him, the feeling of being lost was beginning to come over me for the first time maybe it's because him and I are alone for once with no way of someone getting it back to Raye.
With one swift movement he leaned his head closer to mine and when his forehead touched mine he continued to stare than brought his taken lips to mine until they met in one soft touch and within seconds the feeling was gone. He returned to his position of sitting up right staring straight ahead at the menu on the roof of the restaurant.
"And why did you just kiss me?" I inquired, thinking maybe it had some meaning, well maybe not thinking it's more like hoping.
"Because you were there," He answered while rolling down his window for the approaching waiter.
"We'll take two cheese burgers and side order of fries please," he said as the waiter took his order and sped off on his roller skates.
"I can't believe it was because I was there," I said out loud and before I realized it, his hand was on my back enclosing my whole body towards him, he followed by kissing my lips again this time longer than last and a little more rough, as if he needed the touch.
"I kiss you because of who you are to me, you're innocent and I haven't kissed innocent in a long time you taste sweet to me," He remarked. In all honesty this line sounded kind of cheesy but at the same time reasonable, for I was definitely as innocent as it gets for him.
"So are you implying that you'd rather make out with me than Raye?" I suggested, knowing very well what the answer would be.
"Raye is skilled in what she does because she's been with so many before, but she lacks conviction to what she does; however you put yourself on the line the moment my lips touch yours I can feel you quiver in fear of not knowing what you're doing and I miss that feeling. I had almost completely forgotten it until I kiss you here now," revealed Darien, not the answer I was expecting but definitely an answer that would do.
"Does this mean you like me or… Are you merely using me for your temporary rush?" I questioned turning my head away from him, this was not a hurt turn away it was more or less me doing it subconsciously, and if there was a hurt look to follow I would be able to clear my face of it before he turned me back to him like I know he will. Instead of an answer though I heard a bust of laughter.
"Serena everything is so serious with you, everything has to be so official and that's why I could never like you. Besides you of all people should have realized by now I don't like girls like you I like the fiery ones who give in to what ever I want," He smiled just as the waiter pulled up to our window and dropped off our dinner.
"Here's some money for the food, I can walk the rest of the way home. Oh and Darien if you ever try to kiss me again I'll kick you in the balls," I spat and slid off the seat and out the door. I intended to walk home, it wasn't far and I was wearing comfortable shoes and I most certainly didn't feel like being used for a temporary high. I heard his engine fire up and pull closely behind me.
"Serena get in the car I'll drive you home, and I promise I won't try to kiss you again," He shouted. It's okay if you do try to kiss me again Darien, I tell you one thing but I'm always thinking the opposite for my reputation's sake.
" Fine," I yelled in response and ran to the passenger side door then climbed into the seat next to his.
"I'm sorry," He whispered while sharply turning a corner making me sway against the window.
"For what?" I asked adjusting myself to sitting upright again.
"For kissing you, I've been going out with your best friend for six months now and I just cheated on her with you," He spoke softly.
"Not like it's the first time," I replied sarcastically.
"Actually it was the first time if you must know, I never touched another girl since I started dating Raye. No one else sparks my interest," He added as he adjusted the radio station dials till he found some song that tickled his intellectual interest.
"Do I spark your interest?" I asked turning to face him and for five brief seconds he took his eyes off the road and focused his deep blue pools on me as if I was the only person he had ever seen.
"Does it matter if you do or don't? I'm with your best friend and not even you can change that, if dozens of girls who are a billion times more hot than you throw themselves at me all the time and I refuse them than what chance do you have of sparking my interest?" He commented.
"I give you a rush," I smirked to myself while turning out the window, I wasn't expecting a remark to this and I was right he was thinking on it and even if he thinks about it for the next 3 years, the fact that he thought about it is good enough for me. He pulled into my drive way and turned off the engine and turned to me.
"Our little secret?" He asked sincerely, of course it's our little secret it's not like I want you out of my life, but not like I'm going to let you know that.
"We'll see," I smiled while turning to leave when I felt a hand clasp around my wrist.
"Is this a secret Serena?" He inquired desperately seeking my inner thoughts in which I keep guarded so tight that the true thoughts don't escape to my facial features.
"I can't promise you anything," my face now growing closer to his. Do it again Darien and I'll keep it a secret until I die. His face leaned into mine and he kissed me softly on the lips, the kiss began to deepen and he slipped his muscular arms around my waste pulling me closer towards him than slowly reaching his hands to my arms he placed them around his neck in his tutoring way. His mouth was open and desperately seeking entrance so our tongues could meet, but this is where I will cut off for if this gets any more intense I'll never stop myself. I pulled away reluctantly than slid off the seat to the ground and slammed the truck door shut, so this is what it feels like to be in control.
