Beauty and Cliffs


Darien walked into the bedroom quietly carrying a tray of food. He set it on the night stand beside the bed his girlfriend was sleeping in before sitting in his previously vacated seat. He lay down and stared at the blonde who was moving. Her eyes opened and stared at him.

"Take habit of watching me sleep?" She asked as she turned to face him. She buried her face into his bare chest.

He chuckled. "Only on your birthday." He kissed the top of her head. "Happy birthday." He said wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Thanks."

"Now for present number one."

"I thought u said you were only getting me one." She protested as he sat up.

"Only buying you one."

She then sat up with her back against the head board. The sheet around her slipped to her legs, revealing her naked body. What could she say; she didn't feel like putting pajamas on the previous night, she was too tired. She heard him groan. "What?"

"You're going to kill me."

She then remembered her lack of clothes. "Oh. I'll go put something on."

"It's fine." He grinned before pecking her lips. "Here." He handed her the tray with pancakes, sausage, apple juice and hash browns.

"This is wonderful, but way more than I'll eat."

"I think I can help you with that." He said plopping a pancake on a spare plate.

"Ohh, so you came to eat all my breakfast too."

"No, just what you don't want." He grinned as they both began eating.

After eating about three pancakes, four sausages, and some of the hash browns, she groaned. "I'm getting full." She said as she dunked another sausage in the syrup. She scooped a glob of syrup and brought the sausage to her mouth, but before she could get it into her mouth, the syrup fell right onto her stomach, just below her belly button. "Oops." She grinned. She moved her finger to wipe it off, but stopped as Darien's hand clasped her wrist. "Wha – oh!" She said as his head lowered to her stomach. She felt his tongue slide across where the goo had landed. She carefully moved the tray to the night stand as he continued to lick at her lower stomach. She brought his head up to hers and crashed her lips to his in a passionate kiss. "Is this present number two?" She whispered as she broke the kiss.

"Actually, this was planned for later, but you, the temptress you are, had to bump it up." He smirked before pecking her again. He slid his hands to her butt and guided her to a laying position as he moved the sheet to uncover her legs. Once she was fully lying on her back, he went back up to hover over her body and began kissing her neck. "God I love you." He whispered before nibbling on her ear. He felt her shutter under his touch. He continued assaulting her neck with kisses before snaking down to her chest.

After another two hours, they'd finally left the house on were on their way.

"Where are we going?"

Darien laughed. She'd asked the same question at least ten times already. "The answer will always be the same. It's a surprise." He said as he pulled on the side of the road into a little parking area.

"Okay, where are we?" She asked looking around.

"Jason told me about this place. It's supposed to be beautiful." He said getting out.

Serena nodded and got out of the car, walking to the front of it meeting Darien there. She gasped as she looked out in the distance. "It's beautiful." She said grasping his hand and pulling him further away from the car.

They were on a cliff that overlooked a lake to the left, and forest to the right. The lake washed on shore to a small beach. She looked off to the horizon and saw the water sparkle in the sunlight.

"Almost as beautiful as you." He said kissing her lightly.

"Can we go to the beach?"

"I'd say yes, but I'm sure it wouldn't be a good place for us to go."

"Why not?"

"It's a nudist beach."

"Oh." She giggled. "I'll pass. I want you all to myself." She said wrapping her arms around his waist.

"And I want you all to myself." He stepped back from her a little. "That's why I brought you here."

"What do you mean?"

"I figured for your birthday, I'd tell you what that phrase means."

"Which one?"

"Je suis engagé."

"What's it mean?"

"I am engaged."

"But I'm not-"

He got down on one knee and pulled a small box from his pocket. He raised the lid of the box and a beautiful ring sat in the red velvet of the box. "I want you all to myself. No other man to ever be with you or love you the way I do. Will you marry me?"

She had tears in her eyes. "Yes." She whispered before propelling herself into his arms. "YES!" She nearly screamed.

He sat her on his knee and put the ring onto her finger. It was a simple, yet elegant ring. There was a rose colored heart stone in the center, with smaller diamonds surrounding the heart which was all sitting on a simple silver band.

"It's beautiful."

"Perfect. Beautiful scenery, beautiful ring, and best of all, beautiful fiancé."

She kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I love you so much."

"I love you too." He said before picking her up bridal style and spinning in circles. "I have a blanket in the car. You want to relax and enjoy the scenery?"

"Yes. It's so beautiful."

"Alright, I'll be right back." He said before disappearing behind the car, then reappearing with a blanket. He cleared an area on the sandy dirt of rocks and whatnot before spreading the blanket on the ground. He then sat on it and pulled Serena close.

Serena placed a hand over her stomach. "So what do you want to name our baby?"

"I don't know." He shrugged. "Any ideas?"

"We could always go the junior route for a boy."

"I don't know. I mean, if we were to have another boy, would they feel neglected if one was named after me?"

"True, I have no idea. What about Derrick or Darrin?"

"I like Darrin. Girl names?"

"I like Caitlyn."

"Selena or Selene."

"Sounds like my name."

He nodded. "That's why I like it."

She snuggled into his side. "There are so many options out there."

"So which one of the girls do you want to make godmother?"

"I was thinking Raye first, since she's going to be my sister-in-law." She said with a big smile. "Then when we have more-"

"How many kids do you want?" He asked curiously.

"Oh, well I don't know, uh, how many do you want?"

He shrugged. "Doesn't matter. I mean, I don't want ten, but I want more than one."

"Right. We'll just see how I feel after having this one."

"K."

"But then after, I was thinking Mina for the second born, since I met her first, then Lita, then Ames."

"It works for me. What if we have more than four kids though?"

"We could always ask Raye again, or even my parents."

"We'll cross that road when we get there. But let's get going."

"Is it that late already?"

He nodded. "Well you woke up late, then after taking care of a few birthday presents this morning, we didn't leave till later. We've already been here an hour."

"Wow. Let's go. The girls are stealing me for dinner. You're coming?"

"If they want me too."

"Of course they'll want you to!" She said pulling Darien up. "Come on!"

"Alright, alright." He chuckled as he grabbed the blanket and followed the blonde.

They quickly got in the car and drove off down the road.

"Dare, be careful." She said as she saw a bend ahead.

"Of course I'll be careful. I always am."

"Sorry, just never been a fan of driving on cliffs."

"It's alright." He said pulling down another road. The car drove down a hill. He motioned out the window showing her the drop which was only a few feet rather than about a hundred foot drop before. "Better?"

"Thanks." She sighed.

He simply squeezed her hand and continued driving down the road. He suddenly slammed on his brakes as he saw a car speeding towards them in their lane. "Hold on!" He said as he turned the wheel sharply.

Everything happened in slow motion in Serena's eyes. She saw the car barreling towards them, felt the car begin to halt, and the car begin to slide sideways before feeling the impact of the other car. She closed her eyes and put her arms over her head for protection as she felt them fall off the road down the cliff she guessed. She opened her eyes after she felt the car come to a stop.

"Serena!" Darien quickly called to her. "Can you hear me?"

She uncovered herself and nodded, looking to her fiancé. "I can."

He sighed in relief. "Are you okay?"

"Yah. I'm fine."

He was thankful they landed upright. He then undid his seat belt and opened the door to get out. He surveyed the surroundings to see just lots of trees. He then looked to the passenger side and saw a tree against where Serena's door was. He ducked his head back into the car to see Serena just sitting there. "Are you sure you're alright?"

"Yah. Just catching my breath."

"You're going to have to climb out this side. You're against a tree."

She took a deep breath. She really didn't need him freaking out on her. "Have you called 911?"

"No." He grabbed his cell phone. "I'll do that now."

"Alright."

He dialed the numbers and began talking to the lady. "Sere, come on, we should get up to the road."

"Dare, I can't get out."

"Why not?"

"There's a branch in my neck."


A/N: This is a chapter I had to edit because of cracking down on their posting rating policies. They don't allow sexually explicit decriptions on the site. So I changed and edited that out so I can continue providing stories for my fans :)

Orig. A/n: Well, I had to have a cliffy. And for anyone saying 'if she has a branch in her neck, 1) why is she so calm and 2) how can she talk/breath/be alive' the answer is simple...she can do all listed in number two because just because something is in your neck doesn't mean it's hitting the wind pipe or anything. and she's calm because she's in shock. I don't know the definates, but it has somethign to do with the body releasing something that supresses the pain or seomthing, so she can't really feel it. More will be explained from her POVish next chapter as to how she noticed it and whatnot. Hoep you don't hate me too much...but I probably won't type another chapter until about Tuesday, because I'm heading to my dads in a few minutes, then tomorrow I have the dentist, my road test (nervous!) and have to get my yearbook from school, OH, and I have to get my books for college, so I have a few things to do, but I'll be working on Brother's next. Please review!
