Author's note: Well I'm back all, sorry that it took so long! I really am – especially after I promised you guys new chapters soon, but I'll make it up to you I promise. I've been insanely busy recently (and unfortunately I've also had some sadness in my life recently, a couple days after I promised to make more chapters for you guys – pretty much a person in my fiance's family has been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness – I won't really elaborate on it, you can probably guess, but talking about it makes me sad), I've had rehersal (I'm in a play here at college, yay!), I'm sick as a dog (got a really bad cold a couple of days ago), and I have midterms, and I'm about to get even busier – believe it or not. As for the previous version of chapter nine that I had written – I decided to move it back because the events in it aren't necessarily following the flow of the story as of yet – but if you're curious as to what the original Chapter 9 looks like, don't worry, you're going to see it in a later Chapter (I'll tell you when we get to it). So let's get the usual stuff over and done with: I don't own Sailor Moon, Serena's thoughts are in italics. All set then, thanks for being patient with me.

Chapter Nine: A Wild Night

I woke up and stretched in my bed, I really didn't want to get up and face the day. The previous night had been romantic…and stressful. "Good morning beautiful." Darien said to me from the other side of the bed, he was staring at me with those beautiful jet blue eyes of his.

"Good morning sweetie, I almost forgot that you were here."

"I'd like to hope that you hadn't forgotten about me." He said with a smile. "Ready for party planning?"

All right – before we go any further into the next day, I'm sure that you're all wondering – how did Darien get in my bed, why did I let him in my bed, etc, etc. I think that in order to explain all of this…we need to go back to this morning.

Flashback to early this morning:

Darien had taken me to Denny's, which is not usually his style, but it's hard to find a sit down place around 3am. We had talked and laughed over our late night snack, then Darien had taken me home in his gorgeous Rolls Royce, which I carefully sat in – I didn't want to put even a little mark in that car! As he drove me home though, I had this horrible war going on in my head.

Sitting in the passenger seat, with my hands folded on my lap, I stared out the window into space, letting the battle within concerning one of my favorite people continue. Should I tell him about Rini's party? But what if that little bitch decides to use it as another opportunity to take him away from me? She couldn't, she wouldn't – and she won't now that Helios is here. I really shouldn't worry too much about it – I should just go ahead and tell him.

"You're being awful quiet my beautiful Bunny. Is it because you're sad that we're almost at your place? Well the night is still young – so if you're not too tired we can always go somewhere and talk."

"Darien – I have a confession, well maybe that's not the right word, but something to tell you." I said, looking up at his face for the first time since our late night snack. He was frowning, but still concentrating on the road.

"Am I not the right man for you? Have you decided that you don't want to date me anymore?" His frown deepened and he sounded a bit choked up.

"What the fuck!" I practically screamed at him, which startled Darien a bit. "Hell no – that's not it, I absolutely love going out with you – still looking forward to our date on Sunday actually." I said, calming down a little bit. In a way it's kind of sweet that he's so insecure, but simultaneously of course I don't want him to be.

His frown quickly changed into a smile, "great to hear that – I'm really looking forward to it too. So what did you want to tell me about?" He said, catching a quick glance at me. We were nearing my house and I definitely did not want to stay in the car with Darien for too long, because Mina and Raye would tease me about it until Sunday, the next time that Darien and I went out – and with all the extra stress that I already have – I don't need anymore.

"Well…you know how Saturday is Rini's birthday right?"

"Yeah – of course I remember. Every single time Rini sees me – she reminds me about it, and drops hints about things that she wants. I'm debating on whether or not I'll get her a birthday present. Rini's like a little kid almost – it's really adorable though."

"Oh really? So what does she want?" I asked, I just had to know.

"She was saying something along the lines of she wants a lap dance for her birthday. Never said from who though, I told her that she can have one from whomever she wants. She was absolutely ecstatic."

Oh I know who she wants a lap dance from all right and she's certainly not getting one! There is no way that she's going to feel Darien's manhood against her body, not if I can help it! For a while I was stewing in my thoughts, fuming, while Darien was talking about some of the other things that Rini wants for her birthday.

"Anyway, I'm glad that you guys cleared up your little misunderstanding then – since you're asking about Rini's birthday. Because that's great – you know Rini's a very nice young lady once you get to know her."

"Huh? Yeah, sure."

I bit my lip hard, oh the things that I wanted to say to Darien about that cotton candy haired freak. I wanted to tell Darien what a vindictive little bitch she is – and how she has been – and probably still is after his dick, but I held my tongue. After such a romantic dinner there's no need to make myself look bad by back talking another person. Now I just had to tell him about the party. Serena, you can do this – I mean it's only a birthday party-planning thing, no biggie! He has to come – or else Raye will be suspicious, and I don't want all of our hard work to go to waste.

"So you never told me exactly Serena, what's on your mind? Anything that I can do to help you out with your troubles my little bunny?" He asked, as he pulled up to my driveway and put the car in park, then looked into my eyes for the first time since our late night meal.

"Okay, well, we're having a surprise party for Rini, Darien. We're going to start planning it for her tomorrow morning, and we were wondering if you would like to come and help us out. Raye said that Rini would really appreciate it, and of course I'm sure that she will too…since she really has taken a liking to you." My last words were practically acidic, but Darien didn't notice.

"Wow, what a great idea, and how nice of you – especially after you two had your…umm…differences. I'll definitely be there tomorrow to help plan the surprise party, I'm sure that Rini will be thrilled."

"Oh I'm sure she will." I replied, a bit unsure of how to respond to that remark. "Well we're here at my stop then, I guess I should be getting out now." I said, opening the door of Darien's luxurious Rolls Royce.

"Wait Serena." He said as I climbed out of the car, "at least let me walk you to the door so that way I can properly say goodnight."

I blushed, and smiled at him as he turned the car off. He got out of the car, and we both lightly closed the car doors, and walked together, hand in hand to my door.

"I guess that this is goodnight then Darien." I said, staring up into his blue eyes with a smile.

"Maybe…unless you want to invite me in for a cup of hot chocolate to top off the night." Darien said with a wink, I blushed.

"Well it is late – and I…uh, what about you getting home? I don't want you to be too tired on your way home – if you were to stay over longer, it's almost 5 – and we're going to be party planning in the morning."

"It's all right, I was thinking that maybe…if it's all right with you and your roommates that I might be able to spend the night tonight. I always carry around a suitcase filled with clothes, toothpaste, the works – although I might need to borrow a blanket from you if that's all right?"

"You're planning on sleeping on the couch Darien?"

"Well I do consider myself to be a gentleman after all, so yes. I feel that it's a bit early in our relationship to be going to bed with you – don't you?"

My face felt incredibly warm from the massive blush that was taking over my face. I had to try so hard to keep myself from thinking naughty thoughts. Darien and me in bed together…you have to control yourself Serena, or else you're going to start drooling all over the front door.

"Of course you're right Darien, I don't think that Raye and Mina will mind if you stay over…" although I'm sure that I will hear all about it after you leave. "So how about that hot chocolate then?"

"Sounds great." He said, as we shared a quick kiss on the lips, and I opened the door – thankfully to find neither Raye nor Mina downstairs.

"I should probably write them a note on their door, or something – that way they don't walk down here naked or anything like that." I said quickly, "you know what I mean, right?"

"Of course Bunny, take your time, how about I start on the hot chocolate while you do that?"

"No, you're my guest, it won't take me that long. Have a seat on the couch, while I just grab a post-it note and a pen." I started to go upstairs; I had reached the middle of the staircase when, suddenly, I heard a loud moan coming from upstairs.

"Raaaaayyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeee!!!! You naughty girl, while I'm sleeeeeeeepppppiiiiiiinnnngggg! Mmmmmm, time for you to learn a lesson, I'll teach you to wake me up with that tantalizing tongue of yours."

Shit! Why tonight of all nights. The task of leaving a simple post-it note on their door had gotten a lot more complicated. What the fuck am I going to do…knock on their door – and Darien's downstairs, what if he hears them having sex, Raye will kill me! I just can't leave Darien waiting downstairs either, what if he gets worried about me and comes upstairs, I said that I would be really quick. As I was contemplating what to do, I heard a loud bang – from Raye and Mina's room.

"So what are you going to do now my little minx? I have you pinned against the door…there's no way that you can escape my clutches now." Raye said, she was so loud that I could hear every word clear as day.

Why oh why do they have to have such loud sex! Can't they ever have a quiet night?

"What's going on up there Serena? Someone having a little fun?"

The moaning was so loud that I didn't even notice that Darien had come up the stairs, right next to me. "AA---mmph!!!!!!" My scream was quickly muffled by Darien's hand.

"It's all right, it's me, sorry to startle you so badly Serena."

"I'm sorry – I was just so distracted, and I mean it's so loud that…"

"You didn't hear me coming?"

"Bingo." I said, once again staring into those bright blue eyes. "Listen, I don't want to interrupt them or anything, nor do I want them to be startled by you sleeping on the couch – because sometimes after they have sex, they like to go down to the fridge…"

"I get what you're saying" Darien said as he looked down the stairs and started to move down them. "Well you can tell me goodnight right here then, thank you for your offer of letting me stay over though."

"No wait Darien…" I said, grabbing his arm quickly, he turned around and looked at me. "I know that you're a gentleman – and I know that you respect me as your girlfriend, but I don't want you to drive home this late – and I know that you're tired."

"It's a short drive Serena, I'll be fi.."

"No, Darien – you're still going to stay over tonight. Now, I have an air mattress in my room, and there's plenty of extra space for me to pump it up for you….or we could sleep in the same bed….I mean I don't mind, and I hope that you don't mind much either."

In the moonlight that was illuminating the room, I could see a light blush come over Darien's face. "Are you sure Bunny?"

"Positive, now go ahead and get your suitcase out of the car, and I'll make the bed up comfortable enough for two people to sleep in."

"Thank you Serena…" Darien said with a smile, and he gave me a gentle but passionate kiss. We stood there – on the stairs, our mouths locked, tongues tangoing with each other for a few minutes until…. "I should go and get my stuff…" Darien said, and he gave me a kiss on the cheek, then ran outside to get his things.

I grabbed a couple extra pillows and blankets from my closet, and put them on the bed. Luckily I sleep in a king sized bed, so I knew that room for the two of us would not be a problem. I heard the door close downstairs, wow that man is quick! I ran downstairs, amidst loud groans and pounding against the door.

"Minnnnnaaaaaaa! Fuck me, oooh baby…use your tongue…..I'm tired of getting teased…..you're always such a tease…..oooohoohhhhhh!"

Despite all of the noise, which the two of us used for cover, we quickly ran to my room and softly closed the door. We stood there staring at each other.

"Well…uh I normally wear pajamas when I sleep…" I said nervously, as Darien continued to stare at me in silence.

"And we both have to brush our teeth…"

"But I really don't want to go to the bathroom right now to change…it's right next to their room, it would be too loud you know."

"Ummm….you're right." Darien replied, a hint of nervousness in his voice.

I could smell the sexual tension in the air, I mean sure I know that it's my sister in the other room getting it on – but with all of that noise, and knowing what Darien's got under that shirt – it was so utterly tempting to just rip it off, toss him in my bed, and show him how a real woman likes to get it on. Yes…you haven't had sex since you were with Seiya, but you and Darien haven't even officially gone out on your next date yet…in fact you haven't even been together for a week yet – I mean really! My mind was definitely telling me that it was a bad idea, but my body…my body wanted to explore Darien's.

"You know what, I don't need a bathroom – I'll just change in my closet, no peeking all right?"

Darien just nodded and I gave him a wink as I went into my closet, and closed the door a little bit, then took off my shirt. What would a little bit of foreplay hurt? It's not like anyone will know about it besides you and Darien…I heard footsteps approaching the closet, and that's when I decided on what I was going to do. I opened the door of the closet, and stared at the man before me. Darien wasn't wearing a shirt, and his pants were unzipped, dangerously low. "Copycat." I told him, as I smiled up at him.

"I-I-I-I'm…."

"Speechless?" I asked him with a grin, and he nodded. I pushed him away from the closet and onto the bed, "now you should let me take the reins, you can't be the boss everywhere now can you?"

Darien nodded and smiled at me, "you….are so beautiful…..Serena." He said in between gasps – as if he was still trying to catch his breath. I straddled him, staring down into those beautiful jet blue eyes. Immediately after I had wrapped my legs around him, I felt him – he was already hard underneath me. To tease him, I laid down next to him, still in my bra, panties, and bottoms (which I ended up taking off a couple of seconds later). He wrapped his arms around me, and we started kissing – until we fell asleep. That's right – no foreplay (like I was originally hoping for), no nothing, we just feel asleep in each other's arms in my bed.

Author's end note: Sorry that this chapter was so short…I still have so much to do, I promise I will make it up to you guys and very soon! Before this month is over and I get even busier – you'll have more chapters to read (I've already worked on two of them – but they're not all the way finished as of yet).
