Intermission Chapter 16 What are friends for?
"I have to tell you something," he said hesitantly.
"What?" I said lightly. I was curious of what he's going to say to me, I hope his secret love for me then I'll die happy but I know it's not true.
"Umm how should I start this," he said nervously, raking this hair with his hands.
"Well you should start at the beginning that's always a good start," I said urging him to go on. This was eating me inside. What the hell could this be? Please not another secret that he has a kid in London.
"You know how I told you that I came here to open the offices in the U.S. to go internationally," he said slowly.
"Yea," I said nonchalantly.
"Well that wasn't half of the reason why I came here," he said slowly getting control of the conversation.
"What was the other part?" I asked but at the back of my mind I knew what the other part was.
"Beryl," he said waiting for my reaction.
"So, why are you telling me all this," I said confused. I didn't want anything to do with Beryl. If I do I'll commit suicide.
"Well, my parents don't really like her I don't know why," he said also confused in his little world.
"Why am I not surprised by that," I mumbled. At least someone else understands me about Beryl.
"Pardon me," he said getting into reality again.
"Oh nothing," I smiled like nothing happened but that wasn't true.
"Well that's how you come in," he said it like I was the solution to his problem.
"Huh me, I don't understand," I said uncertainly.
"Yea Serena, since I've known you I saw this charisma that you have with people," he said going on about stuff; I don't even think these exist.
"Charisma? Are you feeling okay Darien? I said I was sorry you could just stop," I said worriedly, checking his forehead with my head which he took it and held it in his hand. This is totally freaking weird. I think my Darien's gone cuckoo.
"Like you're concern for people and they're concern for you, Hell strangers start liking you without even knowing you," he said getting excited.
"What's this about Darien?" I asked getting scared by what his answer would be.
"I want you to make my family be in love with Beryl," he said as a command.
"WHAT!!" I screeched and was about to rip off my head.
"Please Serena," he said helplessly.
"You know, you think Beryl is so great isn't it her job to do this not mine she should win them over not me that's why they don't like her," I said angry.
"Serena she has tried for 5 years and they still think low of her," he said getting more desperate by the minute.
"Why do you want me to do this?" I asked again and a little shaken.
"Remember the charisma we talked about," he said like I was a little kid who didn't know anything.
"Why does it matter that you're parents has to like Beryl," I asked, a little happy that they didn't like the whore.
"Because without their consent I can't get married to her," he said hopefully and a little frustrated to get me to say yes.
"Are you crazy? I don't have this charisma that you're talking about and I am not doing this crazy plan,' I said flailing my arms like I was an idiot who ran away from the mental asylum.
I went out of the kitchen and into the living room but I could feel Darien trailing behind me. I sat down on the couch. I think I'm going to take a nap this is too much for me.
"Please Serena can you do this for me, I love Beryl and I can't imagine the fact a life without her, she's too precious to me," he said and had this sadness in his voice.
Every word he said pierced my heart to shreds. I wished someday he'll come to his senses and finally realize that he wasn't in love with Beryl he was in love with me but I know now it's never going to come happen now. Couldn't he say those things to me make me the happiest girl alive but like always I'm stuck with the bad love life. I don't know I, I guess I couldn't control my emotions that tears were slipping away from my eyelids.
"What's wrong Serena?" he asked concernedly.
Everything was wrong if you ask me.
"Nothing just that the thing you said were really sweet and you know how sappy I get when I hear romantic things," I said lying to him but that stuff was actually sick to my stomach.
"So are you going to help me?" he asked me, hope was written all over his face. I just had to look at his beautiful midnight blue eyes and I just knew what I had to do.
"Sure, what are friends for," I said smiling sadly.
"Oh Serena, you made me the happiest guy on the planet," he hugged me so tightly that I couldn't even breath.
"Darien let go," I said trying to get air into my lungs.
"Oh sorry, but thanks Serena I owe you one," he said grinning like a little boy who finally go his candy.
How about giving my heart back without crushing it even more than it already was? But that's never going to happen.
"I'll book our flights as soon as possible okay for now I'm going to call Beryl and tell her the good new," he said and quickly left the apartment.
Oh! What have I done? I wasn't supposed to say yes. Regretting every word that came out of my mouth but it was already too late. I still wonder at my question: What are friend for anyway?
( 2 hours later at the café )
"Are you crazy Serena, have you been yourself lately, you're acting like a stupid moron with no sense in her at all," Raye said going berserk after I told them everything and also about the little tramp.
"Make his parents in love with his fiancé who does that?" Mina said as she wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction.
"Yea shouldn't his fiancé be the one winning them over?" Lita asked with the same confused look that the girls had on their faces.
"Well obviously he asked me to do it because he probably even knows Beryl is the one whose the bitch who can't get anybody to like her I don't even know what Darien sees in her," I said and blew out a long sigh.
"Why are you doing this Serena you're only going to her more hurt than you are already are so why?" Ami asked and sounding really upset.
"Don't you guys know, this hurt me even more then anything even more than Diamond's passing away but I love him and when you love someone you do crazy things and this must be my crazy thing," I said crying and laughing at the same time.
"Oh Serena we support you every step of the way in you're crazy way," Raye said surprising me and she was smiling too.
"You really mean it," I said grinning.
"Of course go for it if you're heart says yes," Mina said joining in.
"Yea maybe he'll see Beryl was the bitch all along and dump her and then realize that he was in love with you all this time, Lita said and everybody agreed.
"Thanks you guys you're the best," I said and gave them a big group hug.
"Follow you're heart Serena it'll show you the way," Mina said at the end wisely.
( At the Airport )
I said final good byes to the girls and handed Mina the responsibility over my shop till I was gone.
"Hurry Serena if you don't hurry you're going to be late as usual and miss you're flight," Raye said smiling after crying a few tears.
I gave each of them a hug and left. I walked up to Darien and Beryl who was sneering at me. I just ignored her, that's why people don't like her she's filled with hatred.
"Are you ready?" Darien asked me gently.
"As ready as I could ever be," I smiled uncertainly. I just hope I won't fail on this and make Darien as miserable I was. I didn't want him to loose a loved one just like I did.
