Chapter 10:
The next day the four of them went to the beach. Serena let Darien guide her as they walked around. As they were walking Mina decided to set plan b into action. "So, when are you guys going back to New York?" She asked them.
Darien looked at Andrew and sighed. "We're going back tomorrow." He told the girls.
Mina blinked before smiling to herself. "That's really too bad." Mina said.
Andrew nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it is too bad. Say Mina, I need your help with something."
Mina nodded. "Alright, on the way there you can tell me what you need help with."
Darien watched the two leave and sighed. He then turned to Serena. "They left us alone again." He told her softly.
Serena smiled. "I think they want us to tell each other something." She told him.
Darien looked at her and smiled. "Is there anything that you want to tell me?"
Serena's blank eyes were on the ground now. She wanted to tell him but she didn't know if he felt the same way. Darien looked at her. "Is something wrong?" He asked her.
"There is something I want to tell you. Though I'm not sure how you'll take it." Serena told him as she put her arms out in front of her trying to find something to sit on.
Darien grabbed her hand and led her over to some rocks. He then picked her up and set her down on a flat one. "There, now, what do you want to tell me?"
Serena sighed. "Yeah, I want to tell you that I like you a lot." She told him. "Well, maybe…I don't know what I'm trying to say."
Darien smiled at her gently. "I think I know what you're trying to say. I like you a lot too. More than a friend." Darien told her as he sat next to her. "I think I might love you."
"You think?"
Darien sighed. "I'm not sure, alright. I know I care about you, but…It's complicated."
Serena smiled weakly. "I know. I do wish I could spend more time with you."
Darien then jumped up. "I know. Why don't you, Mina, and Jadeite come to New York for a while? We could spend some more time together and test things out."
Serena blinked. Was he serious? "Don't you have a fiancé?"
"Let me worry about Beryl. So, what do you say?"
Serena sat there and thought about it for a moment. "Sure, why not."
………
Mina and Andrew looked at Serena and Darien from afar and smiled. "I hope they told each other." Andrew said.
Mina smiled before answering. "I think they did."
Andrew then smiled in response. "Hey Mina." He started.
"Yeah?"
"I know we've only know each other for a while, but would you like to go out to dinner tonight?"
Mina looked up at him and blinked. "Sure, I'd love to." She answered with a smile.
"Great." Andrew replied. "Now I think we should get back over to them."
Mina nodded as she and Andrew walked back over to Darien and Serena. "Oh, there you guys are." Darien said when the blondes were back over were they where.
"Mina, guess what."
"What?" Mina asked her sister.
"I've decided to go to New York with Darien." Serena told her sister.
"You have?"
Serena nodded. "You and Jadeite can come of course."
Mina nodded. "Okay, I wouldn't mind. Now we just have to convince Jadeite to come with us."
…………………..
Later that evening at Serena's apartment the three siblings sat in the living room. "You're going to New York with them?" He asked. "Why?"
"Because we want to get to know them better." Mina told their brother.
Jadeite sighed before looking at his sisters. "Alright, I'll go with you guys."
Mina looked at her sister before jumping up and hugging their brother. Tomorrow the five of them would be off to New York to see what was in store for them.
