DARIEN'S P.O.V

Darien sat up in his bed and yawned and looked over at his alarm clock. It was 10:00 in the morning and he still had 2 hours before he needed to get up for work. He walked over to his walk-in closet and pulled out a business suite and a tie to go with it. After he layed his clothes on the bed he went to the bathroom and started his shower. He walked back into his bedroom turned on the t.v.

"In other news Darien shields the heir to the multi billion dollar company 'health nation' has inherited his billions and has finally taken over the family business after his grandfather, Robert sheilds died last week..." Darien turned away from the t.v. He hated hearing about hisself on t.v. He never understood way the whole world had to know about what was going on in his life. "…In other news ken Washington the persident of 'stars and entertainment' daughter sere-" Darien switched the channel to a talk show that was on and went to get into the shower. The water hit his face making him close his eyes. All he could think about was the girl he meet in the cab yesterday named serena. The way she smelled, the way she talked and when she smiled it made it seem like she was the only one in the room. After along time Darien stepped out and grabbed a fluffy white towel off the rack in his bathroom. He walked out just in time to hear the phone ringing. He slowly walked over to the phone knowing that if he missed the call if the person really wanted to talk to him they call back.

"Hello"

"Dar whats up man!" said a man on the other end.

"Hey Derw whats you up?" said Darien turning back to his bathroom to brush is teeth.

"Nothing just getting ready to work for the new CEO of HEALTH NATION"

"So I'm geussing you heard already,"said Darien laughing and turning on the sink water.

"Congratulations…but I'm really sorry about your grandfather" said Andrew with a hint of sorrow in his voice.

"Thanks but why are acting as if we were close or something you know the S.O.B only cared about his money and nothing else," said Darien with hint of angry.

" Yeah I know but I still feel sorry for you I mean damn man he was the last of your family I would think that you'd be grieving over this, but I guess not."

"Like I said he was a son of a bitch" said geeting madder that they were even on this subject

"Ok dude don't get so worked up over it will just drop it, anyways how was Chicago any hot babes?" said Andrew traying to change the subject.

" I geuss so, the usuals, but there was this one girl when I got back this morning…" said Darien thinking about serena.

"Come on bro you can't leave me at that you gots to tell me more!" said Andrew getting excited about what his best friend had to say about this mystery girl. Darien looked over at the clock again it was almost 11:30 and if he didn't get to work he would miss the important meeting they had set up for him today.

"Look Drew I have to get ready for this meeting thing they have for me today, but how about I tell you allover a late lunch lets say around 2 maybe 3 at the lastest?" asked Darien

"Sure you buyin"

"Yeah yeah I'll buy I don't know why you act like you have any money, I mean damn you're the persident of health nation"

"I know but were's the fun out of moching of my best friend" said Andrew sarcastically.

"Whatever man just met me at the la'moon resturant okay?"

"Yeah whatever just hurry and get out of the meeting I'm starving"

"Bye drew" Darien hung up the phone and looked at the alarm clock again. Now it was 11:30 he had only 30mins to get ready and get out the house and to work. He would have a short breakfast and call the company heliocopter to pick him up so he could get to work on time.

SERENA'S P.O.V

Serena sat in the Jacuzzi with her eyes closed. The water felt so good on her skin that she didn't even notice that the water had been cold for about 30mins ago. She was about to doze off when she heard a loud knock on the bathroom door.

" Miss Clark…. Miss Clark are you in there?" said sammuel. At first serena was confused her last name wasn't Clark, and then she remembered her plan.

"Yes, sammuel I'm here"

"Oh good, I have gotten a company limo for you and I called the magazine company about the chief and editor postition and they said, that they would like to interview you today at 2. I also called the real estate agent about a house in 'The Hills' I took the liberty of choosing the house that would suite your taste. They said that they would book you for tomarrow around 12:00. So all we have to worry about is colthes and that interview."

"Thank you sammuel what time is it?" asked serena.

"Its 11:30 now so we have enough time to get you some sophisticated clothing for your job interview. So I would get of the tube so we can go" sammuel turned away from the door and walked out room give her some time to get ready and to make serena a hair appointment. Serena stood up in the tube and grab some towels off the sink counter. She wrapped the towel around herself and walked out the bathroom. Serena looked at her bed and saw that sammuel had also took the liberty of pulling out some clothing that he saw suitable outfit for her to wear around town (A stripped pink, blue, and white polo shirt and light colored blue jean skirt. Serena dressed quickly and went into the bathroom to put on make-up and jewelry to match her oufit. She had just taken out her make-up case when there was knock at the door.

"Yes?"

"Miss are you dressed."

"Yes you can come in sammuel" sammuel walked through the door with 1,000 cash in his hand.

"Miss here is-"

"Sammuel I'm sorry to cut you off but can you please call me serena and not Miss Clark or Miss anything" said serena cutting off sammuel.

"Ok Serena here is your 1,000 in cash or thank you money from the hotel, and the limo is waiting outside for you so when your ready we can go and I can tell you more about the magazine interview today." Said sammuel while calling a maid so she could come in and clean serena's room before they came back.

"I'll be ready in 15 minutes I have to put my make-up on and do something with my hair… I've never really did my own hair I always had someone do it for me."Said serena blushing alittle with embrassment.

" That's quite alright there's no need serena I already booked you appointment with a very good hair salon."Said sammuel hanging up with the front desk. Serena ran up to sammuel and hugged him.

"Sammuel I don't know how you to thank you, but how am I going to pay for this I mean we only have 1,000 dallors how are we going to pay for clothes and hair"

" Don't worry about the hair serena all you have to worry about is what to wear. leave to rest to me. They don't call me your personal butler for nothing." Sammuel said with a laugh. Serena hugged him even tigher.

" Serena you have to let me go so we can get going,"said sammuel trying to get serena off of him.

"Ok ok I'm just so happy you have no idea." Said serena as she lets go of him. Sammuel straightened his tuxedo and smiled.

"Can we please get going serena its 12:00 now we wasted 30 mins and your interview is at 3."

"Fine let me grab my purse." Serena grabbed her purse off the floor were she had left her bags from the other night. Sammuel lead her out of the penthouse and to the elevator door. When the elevator was at their floor they got in. The elevator stopped at the lobby and Serena followed Sammuel out. Sammuel led serena to the black limo the awaited them outside the glass door. As serena got into the limo, Sammuel stopped to say something to the limo driver and then got into the limo with Serena.

"Serena I want to brief you this magazine interview"

"Ok...So what do I need to know?"Serena started to giggle she couldn't help herself.

"The magazine is called 'Blush' it's very popular over in Europe so their hoping that It will be as popular in U.S and what is so funny." said sammeul with a smile on his face. By this time serena was in a full laughing fit.

"Well…it's…. Just funny…. You briefing me… I feel as If I'm this big persident or something"said Serena laughing, but calming down alittle. Sammuel just smiled at her she was like a little child.

"Yeah I geuss you're right. Serena but just think you could be that and sooooo much more if you get this job. So anyways about this interview they said to meet them at the restraunt called la'moon."

"Are you serious that's a 5 star resturant" serena said exitced. Serena thought of the nice things she that used to have. I remembered that when I got my first car, it was lexis. Everyone at school was so jelalous of me…. NO! I can't think of that right now I'm on my own….

"Serena are you listening to me?" asked sammuel with a concern look on his face.

"I'm sorry Sam I kinda blanked out what did you say?" asked Serena blushing. Sammuel smiled at Serena's blushing and his newfound nickname.

"Rena! You need to pay attention or your plan will never work. I said we should practice this interview so that you won't blank out like you did just now."

"I'm sorry Sam what was that?" said Serena with a smile on her face.

"SERENA CLARK"

"I'm only kidding Sam lighten up I want the plan to work out .I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize this"

" I know you wouldn't Rena," said sammuel smiling. "But lets get started we only have 30mins until we reach the store." Sammuel took out a black binder. "Ok I'm going to pretend that I'm the girl interviewing you just act like yourself. Hi serena how are you today?" said sammuel in a very professonial girlie voice.

"I'm fine you?"

"Great. Now why do you think this job is for you? I mean Chief and Editor is a hard job"

"I think this job is for me because I know everything there is to know about fashion so when new fashion comes out I can tell if its going to be the next big thing or just another 'Oh that's cute but not sexy'. Even though knowing fashion is great qaulity I think that you have to have that business rep. in you to and I've got that. I can make great busniess decsion when I really need to. I will work very hard if I get this job. I'm always passionate about what I do and I will bring Life and lots of fun to this magazine."Said Serena with passion. Sammuel was taken back by how passionate Serena was about this job. She was really trying to make something of herself. "Sam? Hello anybody in there…Sam your really starting to scare me" said Serena while waving her hand in his face. Sammuel finally came out of his thinking and saw that Serena had a concern look on her face.

"Serena whats with the concern face?"

"I been calling your name for like 2mins now and you didn't answer me. Your eyes looked glazed over and I was getting worried when you didn't answer me."

"I'm sorry I geuss I was really deep in thought I didn't mean to scare you like that."

"Its ok Just don't it again. Anyways we're here." Said Serena as the limo driver came around and opened sammuel side of the door.

"Oh, well let's get to shopping we only have… an hour until your hair appointment." Sammuel helped Serena out of the limo. As she got out Serena looked up to see a samll store called 'Rose'. Even though the store was small Serena could tell that the store was for the high class. One word came to Serena's mind as she walked toward the store…. HOME
