Chapter 25 A stir in the heart

Sunlight poured through the windows as someone opened the curtains.

"Ugh," I groaned loudly, not want wanting to get up from the comfy bed that I lie in.

"Up Up," the annoying voice said. Why can't anybody leave me alone? I peeked from the covers and saw Darien standing there looking handsome as ever. He was all dressed up to go somewhere. But where?

"Come on, I don't have all day you know," he said yanking the covers from me.

"Hey what was that for!" I yelled surprised by his action. I curled like a ball; a chill went over my body as the morning breeze passed by.

"Come one Serena, you have to start working your magic," he said snapping his fingers like he was some sort of genie. He was a genie to me, genie of LoOoOve.

'Oh my god that's so corny, don't start right in the morning Serena' I thought to myself.

"Huh what magic? Do you always get drunk in the mornings," I said confusedly.

"Ha Ha very funny! Don't you remember you had to convince my parents about Beryl," he said sighing and rolling his eyes at me.

"Oh all right," I said sounded defeated. I tried to put that off for as much as I could but how can I when it was a constant reminder. Can't I have 1 day about not thinking about it I guess that's too much to ask.

I lazily got out of bed but clumsy me, I lost my footing. I reached the first thing I saw to avoid falling on my little behind, Darien's shirt. I guess I surprised him that we both landed on the bed. I groaned as he landed on top of me. Our faces were so close that when I looked up at him our lips slightly touched. It was an innocent gesture but I still felt warm and tingly inside.

"Um Darien," I said.

"Yea," he said huskily breathing slowly.

"Can you get off of me please I can't breath," I said squeaky, as much as I was enjoying this right he still was crushing me.

"Ahem yea," he said blushing furiously. Aw it was so cute and adorable. As each day passed by my love for him got stronger and stronger.

I started laughing uncontrollably, laughing at my situation and soon tears of sadness washed over me. Realizing that I've come to a dead end, no going back and changing the past.

Darien was staring at me like I had completely have lost it or something. How soon I've come to know his emotions how he feels inside. Can Beryl feel them too like I can or maybe I'm just making them up.

"Oh it's nothing I just remembered what Seiya said to me the other day," I said lying. He looked like he was disappointed or something.

"What did he say?" he asked as a fired blazed in his eyes.

"Oh you wont get it it's an inside joke when we first met," I said brushing it off like it didn't matter. Lies and then more lies to cover them. How had my life change from simple to complicated? Time just flies by.

"Are you guys going out or something?" he asked suspiciously.

"Why?" I said, now it was my turn to blush.

"Because you guys looked really cozy at the party last night so is there?" he said as if he already knew the answer to the question. How I wanted to tell him there was nothing and that my heart just belonged to him and nobody else. I was glad something stirred deep inside him last night. Wow!

"What's this 21 questions or something?" I said making a face and then hid my face as I pretended to do make my bed. Not wanting him to see in my eyes and catch all the lies.

He grabbed my arm and turned me around with full force, shocking me endless.

"Just give me an answer yes or no?" he asked there was such intensity in his eyes that it got me mesmerized.

"Yes," I stammered. He slowly unwrapped his fingers around my arm made me think if he ever held it in the first place.

"Oh," he said I couldn't see what his expression was because he turned his back on me now.

'Don't leave me alone Darien in the dark or I'll get lost in these dark emotions that are deep within me' I said to my self, crying out for help. But I guess nobody heard them as much as I tried. Soon tears were springing through my eyes as much as I tried to leave them inside with my broken heart.

"Why Serena?" his question was so unexpected and filled with emotion. Was it betrayal?

"I…" I just didn't have any words to reply to that remark.

"Never mind I'm happy for you and Seiya," he said finally turning around and putting a strained smile on his face. Isn't this what I wanted but how can I go on that he might be hurt inside.

"Well Beryl and I are going out for the day and I wanted you to start the ball rolling," he said. Hiding my disappointment and hurt, I smiled warmly at him.

"Sure thing," I said giving him the army salute and turned around to go to the bathroom to shower.

He took my arm, causing me to look back again. So many emotions and so little time.

"Oh and Serena," he said looking at me with this soft look in his eyes.

"Yea," I said slowly expecting that he would confess the love for me. Yet again I expect again.

"Oh never mind I forgot what I was going to say just go have a shower," he said releasing my hand.

"Sure," I said smiling turn to leave again but again Darien does that shocks me. He enveloped me in a big warm hug shooing all the dark emotions inside of me, that were stirring deep inside of me earlier.

"Thanks again Serena," he said smiling.

"For what?" I said confusedly.

"For being a great friends," he said. I laughed out loud. I guess that's just what friends are for.

"Now can I go," I said grinning.

"Yea," he said sheepishly.

I went to the bathroom and looked one more time if he was going to say something else like give me a big smooch or something. You never know from the way things happened today. But to my disappointment he already left. Making me wonder if he ever was there or just a dream. I pinched myself I guess not.

Now about his parents, how am I going to convince them about Beryl. If it was my own son trying to wed a witch like BERYL I'll totally go nuts or better yet hang myself. But first I have to shower , I'll think about it later much later. Possibly eternity later. A smile graced my lips as I thought about that.
