Hello Guys. I know I am not done with my other story, but while I was thinking about the next chapter I totally got an idea for a short story :) Hope you like it.
"Ugh hey Serena!" a young man said from behind her.
"Hey Alan! How is it going?" The blond with the big blue eyes looked up at him, taking a sip of her shake.
"So, I was wondering...Junior Prom is coming up. Thinking maybe...?" He looked at his shoes.
From behind a Darien sat sipping his coffee. He clenched his cup. He and Serena had been dating for months, but because of their 3 year age gap, he wanted to keep it a secret.
"Oh come on Alan! Have you seen how other guys are asking girls these days?" Serena raven haired friend bursted.
Darien sighed in relief. Alway count on Ray to speak her mind and for the save.
"I mean, I couldn't think of a way to ask that would be worthy enough for her."
"Awwwwww..."Mina gushed.
Darien scoffed. 'Of course Mina would fall for that.'
"Hey dude are you okay?" Andrew asked from behind the corner.
Darien was still clenching his cup. "I am fine! I need more coffee."
"Are you sure man?" His best friend asked.
"Yes!" He was just trying to get him to shut up so he can hear what was going on.
"Well Serena..?"
"I am sorry Alan, but I have someone that I really want to ask me!" She said it loud hoping that it would catch the attention of her boyfriend, who was still sitting in the corner. She looked up and locked eyes with him.
"What? Who?" Lita asked. We tell each other everything.
"Um...so that is a-?"
"It is a no, now scam! Next time you ask someone step your game up! Whoooo her!" Ray shouted.
"Ray!?"Serena shouted in embarrassment.
"Sorry Alan. I am sure you will find an amazing date." Serena looked up at him with a smile. Alan walked away with his head down.
Darien loved that smile. He loved when she would look at him like that.
"Ugh, Serena. This is the third guy you have rejected. Who is the guy?" Amy asked.
'What 3 guys?' Darien thought to himself.
"Wait meatball head you had three guys ask you?!" Ray asked."Who are you waiting for, the Prince of England?"
"I have a guy in mind." She finished her drink and looked up to catch Darien's side eye again."Look guys, I still need to go home and do chores. Mom is making me earn some of my dress."
The girls looked at her and nodded. "We'll see you tomorrow. Don't forget to ask your mom about dress shopping this week, okay?"
"You got it! Bye Andrew she shouted. Have a terrible night jerk head!" She added.
Darien popped up. "That girl has some nerve!"
"Yeah, but there is something about her." Andrew said. "Could you believe the other night this one kid came with 10 dozen roses and she still said no. She is interesting."
"What are these kids thinking." Darien got up, threw his money down and headed out."See you tomorrow."
He started walking to his apartment. It was a short walk. He unlocked his door, and there she was waiting for him sitting on his couch, reading a comic book. He smiled.
"I love coming home to see you sitting there."Darien said walking over to kiss her.
"Huh, hey!"Serena blushed and pecked him one on the lips.
"That's it?!" He grabbed her by the waste and pulled her in for a deeper kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"What has gotten into you?"She asked in between kisses.
"Just wanted to make sure you know how much I love you. And I do not want any of those guys at your school near you." He held her closer.
"You don't have to worry about them. I love you too much."
"Well.. I just want you to always know that and I will always do whatever I need to make sure you know." He kissed her on the forehead.
"You'll do whatever...?"
"Anything."
"Well in that case..."She looked at the ground.
"What?" He stepped back.
"I mean my junior prom is coming up...I need a date." She went into kiss him.
Darien sighed. "Serena..."
"You said anything." Serena stepped back.
"I meant anything but that."
"Darien why?"
"Baby," He tilted her chin. "You are in high school. I am in college. You know what people say?You know what my friends will say?"
"Darien if they are really your friend they would only want you to be happy. No?"Serena started to walk towards the couch.
"Serena is it not that simple. What would your parents think?"
"My mom is easy, my dad will take some time, but I know it will happen."
She was sitting on the couch now. Darien stood there scratching his forehead.
"Babe it is not that simple."
She was looking out of his window. She shook his head.
"We just need a little more time."
"How much time Darien?! Hmmm?"
"Serena come on, don't get mad."
"Mad?I am passed that Darien."
"Why? This has never happened before."
"Because this is my prom!"She got up. Went to get her purse.
"Serena, where are you going?" He asked getting up.
"Home, Darien."
"Are you serious right now. It is just prom!"
"Maybe it is not a big deal to you, but it is too me and if you loved me like you said, then it would to you too."
"Really Serena, really? I don't want to go to a dance with you so I don't love you anymore? That's real childish."
"Yup, childish me, is that why you don't want your friends around me. I am childish? I am embarrassing?" She went to open the door.
"I did not say that."
"Might as well have." She walked out. "I am done Darien."
"What?"
She walked out and slammed the door. Darien stood there in shock. "What just happened?"
