Chapter 19 Two can play that game I guess
I turned around and saw Darien standing there with a weird expression that I've never seen before.
"Hey Darien," he said grinning, what's up with this guy can't he ever stop smiling. I guess not. He stood up after letting me go. He went up to Darien and hugged him like he hasn't seen him for awhile.
"Never been better," he said smiling. "You haven't lost your touch with the ladies while I was gone eh?" he said teasingly and this other tone I couldn't replace.
"Neve4r, I'll always be a ladies man," he said laughing.
"True," I said as I stood up beside him. Since I met him he's always been a ladies man. Maybe that's why I like him.
"You're embarrassing me," he said sarcastically as he put an arm around my waist and pulled me closer.
I looked into his eyes. He was secretly saying to play along. Play along what? Oh now I get it!!
"How would you know Serena? You only were with him a few minutes," Darien asked me like I was a stupid kid who didn't know anything.
"For your information I've known Seiya for a long time and since I've known him I've know his personality too," I said proving I knew something.
"Hoe did you guys meet?" he asked now feeling the like the stupid one, that made me feel good inside.
"You know the Europe trip I went to a few years ago and urged you to go on but you refused to go and stayed with Beryl, we met on that trip," Seiya said explaining.
"Oh," he said looking at us as if we each grew another heads with the old one.
"I know Darien we have a little catching up to do but Serena and I haven't seen for years so we'll see you later," he said guiding through the path not even waiting for Darien's reply. I think I heard him say disappointedly.
"Okay"
( Reaching Seiya's Car )
"What was that about," I asked Seiya confusedly.
"I'll tell you after we reach the little café," he said and nothing less.
I obeyed him and got into the car. The café was 10 minutes away, it was open and empty. We ordered two cups of coffee and sat the nearest table. This thing was killing me inside.
"Why are you doing this for him?" he asked me seriously.
"What?" I said confusedly.
"The whole mess," he said not leaving his serious tone.
"I should tell you," I sighed.
"Yea that would be a good thing" he said.
"Well Andrew moved out because he was going to get married in a couple of months," I said and was interrupted by him.
"He got married, let me guess Rita," he said his friendly face on.
"Yea cant I finish," I said. If he interrupts me again I don't think I could continue.
"Sorry go on," he said with a more serious tone.
"Well after him Darien became my roommate back then I was dating Diamond and the crash happened that turned my life upside done, as the months went by I accepted Diamond's death but I didn't realize I was falling in love with Darien by the minute," I let out a deep breath and looked down at my cup. I felt his hand on my shoulder. I looked up and his eyes were urging me to go on and I did.
"Then I found out about Beryl and his situation I guess I wanted him to be happy and not loose the one he loved like I did, heck I had to loose 2," I said as tears were starting to build up. Damn it why do these tears have to come? I'm so freaking emotional.
"Not 2, I think just one," he said calmly.
"What do you mean?" I asked puzzled.
"Didn't you see the look that he was giving us when he saw us hugging?" he said like I was dumb or something.
"What look?" I said clearly not knowing what he was saying.
"His face had only one expression," he said
"And what would that might be?" I asked.
"Jealousy," he said like he's gone crazy.
"You're nuts really," I said clearly not believing him. What's Darien jealous of? Maybe that was the expression that I couldn't replace! But that can't be true. Not a Chance!!
"I think he has a thing for you," he said smiling slyly.
"You got to be kidding me and you know he was the one who's in love with Beryl remember," I said but feeling a little better at this conclusion.
"You and I both know him and Beryl aren't going to last that long after the way he was looking at us," he said.
"So what's that to do with this whole thing," I said confused.
"I think we should play a game," he said with his stupid grin.
"What kind of game," I said not liking the idea where the conversation was going.
"A pretending game," he said.
"And what's that?" I said getting scared by the minute.
"Okay me and you will be dating and if Darien gets jealous than that means he has feeling so for you and if not than he really stupidly in love with that slut," he said like that was the sane thing to do.
"WHAT!! You're seriously gone crazy haven't you," I said practically screaming.
"Calm down this is in all our benefits do you want his to get tied down with Beryl and thing of that as a mistake for the rest of his life," he said and his voice was filled with concern for his best friend.
"No," I said but still thought this plan was risky. You know what hell with always being on the safe side for the sake of my love I'm going to do one thing RISKY!! I think I'm going to take a risk with my life and even with my heart.
"So you're up for it?" he asked.
"You're on pal," I said shaking his hand.
Let the games begin!!
