Book Two: The Spot Light Cries For Me

Chapter Twenty: Luck Be A Lady Tonight!

"So, this is your original band? Three older men versus one young hotty? How long has this been going on?" Asked the man with overly greased brown hair and dirty brown eyes. He was the MJ for the local Detroit radio show, they called him "Dirty Harry" of all the appropriate names Serena had thought when she met him.

Serena pulled the pink sucker out of her mouth, sucking on it only for the sake of the pictures they were taking for the radio stations website.

"That's correct. I met Andrew and Darien on my first day of college at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Andrew was my math teacher and Darien was my choir instructor. Darien had decided that I had the best voice out of all the kids in my class and set me up as lead vocalist. It just so happens that Darien had known Andrew and Sam since they were punks in middle school and they had played together in a band until high school was over, so he thought since I had so much energy while singing techno pop songs that he would get them back together for the Christmas concert at AIP." Serena explained as she leaned into the microphone.

"I see…so no hanky panky between any of you?" Dirty Harry asked.

Sam leaned forward. "No. Nothing inappropriate has ever gone on in this group."

"That's not what I heard." Dirty Harry said spinning in his chair "Richard, the former keyboard player said that he and Serena here got pretty down and dirty."

Serena sighed and leaned forward. "I wouldn't say down and dirty, but yes, Richard and I did have a sexual relationship at one point and time. And I know my publicist will want to kill me for admitting this, but…let me just put it this way. I have better stamina than he does."

Harry hit a button that made an explosion noise and laughed, "Burned!"

Darien looked at Serena and smiled "she may be small and innocent looking but don't piss her off…"

Sam and Andrew laughed, "no kidding."

Harry leaned forward again "so is there anyone special in any of your lives?"

Andrew raised his hand "my beautiful fiancée Rita."

Sam shook his head no "Nope. I'm not as lucky as my cousin here."

Darien smirked "celibate as a true blue priest."

"America would already know if I did." Serena said as she crunched into the sucked to get the bubbled gum.

"Very true Serena, very true. It was in all the tabloids about a supposed relationship with Richard because of some shots taken of you two getting friendly on the beach." Harry said nodding and hitting a sound button making a smooch noise. "Phone lines are lit up though, so lets take a call. Caller you're on the air with Dirty Harry at lunch and the widely popular Serena."

"Hi, my name is Olga and I was wondering when Serena would like to pick up her hemorrhoid cream?" the caller asked. All four men stared at Serena who glared at the phone.

"HANNAH!" She shrieked "You little ass! Just wait till I get out into the lobby you'll be hurting!"

"shit…" Hannah laughed loudly and hung up.

Harry cleared his throat "don't you just love friends? Anywho, next caller. You're on the air!"

"Hi! My name is Nina from Detroit! I was wondering, just how exactly did you get to be the biggest thing since myspace?"

"Actually it was because of that stupid ass that called just before you Nina. Her name is Hannah and she's a famous racecar driver. Her girlfriend is one of my best friends and she knew the top executives at Terran where I worked and brought them to the talent show at my college. After the show they were almost pissing themselves like excited puppies, asking me to join. So I signed up with them, they hooked me up the band I had before and bam! Here I am today. So I might just spare her life this once because of her thoughtfulness in this case."

"Oh really?" Nina asked "How would you suggest that young girls who idolize you to get into it?"

Darien leaned in. "Just the same way Serena, Andrew, Sam and I did. We practiced our music hard for years and never gave up. If its what you truly want in life, start by singing or playing an instrument now and just keep at it, try to get gigs and what not and eventually your dreams will become a reality."

"But don't try the girl group thing. Mina, Lita, Rei, Amy and I tried that. It wasn't paying off even though we were home town celebrities, but once they decided to switch views it paid off for me to continue holding onto my dreams with both arms." Serena said smiling.

"Ok, thank you!" Nina said before hanging up.

"Now that is something I didn't know. You and your back up dancers had been in a girl group before this?" Harry asked grabbing a pen and pad of paper.

"Yeah. Actually we were a girl group up until seven months before I was signed with Terran." Serena said smiling.

"Which explains why you all dance well together." Harry said cocking his head to the side. "Ok…so we're going to play one of your biggest hits, Caribbean Influence and caller number thirteen, Serena's favorite number, gets an autographed copy of Water Ride."

Serena sighed and sat on the couch in her hotel room with Darien watching TV later that night. "I'm never doing that again. Dirty Harry is just so gross!"

Darien laughed and handed her an orange soda. "He's supposed to be. It's a gimmick."

"It's a bad gimmick." Serena said pouting.

Darien shrugged "maybe…but he's got the ratings."

Serena looked at him "why didn't you admit that you'd had a relationship with me?"

Darien looked at her surprised. "I thought you'd prefer it if I didn't. I mean, you already admitted to a relationship with one of your band mates, how would two look?"

She shrugged and stood up "I'll be right back." She walked into the separate bedroom and got changed for the night.

Darien was relaxed on the couch watching TV when Serena came back in, her hair loose down her back, her face free of makeup, wearing nothing but a pair of panties and a white tank top. He swallowed hard as he fought to keep himself placid as flash backs to Serena naked beneath him, lips parted with pleasure.

He quickly looked back at the TV hoping it would keep his mind clean as she sat down next to him.

After an hour Serena sighed and caught Darien's attention. He looked over at the little blonde and smiled as he realized she was fast asleep. He picked her up and carried her into her room.

He laid her down on the bed and bent over and kissed her gently, then a second time, then he knelt over her, waking her up kissing her deeply. Probing tongues. Serena sighed and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

Darien slowly peeled Serena's clothes off and moaned as he saw that her entire body was tanned from the LA sun. He kissed along her body as she pulled his shirt up over his head, touching the skin that became available to her.

Serena rolled them so that she was over Darien and pulled his pants and boxers off. Smiling as she realized that they were both ready.

She kissed him deeply as she impaled herself on his hard member. Darien held onto her hips as she began riding him, taking them both back to pleasures of the past, when the openly said I love you and exchanged longing glances during school hours only to find passion and release at night and on the weekends.

Serena continued to ride him, her breasts bouncing with her effort catching Darien's attention and his affections. He caressed her breasts taking each nipple into his mouth loving the taste of her skin in his mouth.

Darien rolled over so that Serena was below him and began to thrust in and out of her passionately, like a starved man. Serena cried out his name as he brought her, only to have an echo of her name as he spent himself inside of her.

"I love you Serena," he whispered as he kissed her deeply, gently.

"Oh Darien…" Serena whimpered as they came together again and again until they laid naked in each others embrace, spent and tired.
