Hey Ya'll!

I'm so sorry for taking this long to update. I just went through a stage where I was super busy and feeling uninspired. I read over my last couple of chapters and I have to admit that I'm pretty disappointed with myself because I know I can do a lot better but I'm not going to take them down because you all seem okay with them since people are still reading and reviewing.

Once again, I am so sorry and will try to update atleast once a fortnight, maybe more.

Thanks everyone :)

Please Review!

We had barely walked through the door when all of a sudden I was pushed aside and Darien was practically attacked. It all happened in a blur of colour. Once I gotten over the whiplash of being shoved, I realised the attacker was not an attacker at all. Well not really. A girl with wavy auburn hair was clinging to Darien and I was slightly confused who she was. Maybe she was a cousin?

Darien wrapped his arms around her and grinned, "Molls! What are you doing here?"
The girl pulled back and mirrored Darien's expression of total happiness, "Well I'm here to see you, of course! I was coming to visit eventually but once I heard that Darien Shields had a girlfriend, I just had to check her out! So are you going to introduce us or am I going to have to take over due to your horrible manners? I thought your mum taught you better than that!"

I glanced quickly at Daphne when she laughed at what was just said.

I turned back towards Darien and was met with deep brown eyes. I jumped, Did this girl not know about personal space?

"Howdy! I'm-" She started but Darien cut her off, wrapping his arm around her neck.

"This is my friend Molly," He smiled.

"Well would ya look at that Daphne, he found his manners. And it's BEST friend."

"Jeez, I only just see you and you're already picking on me. Now I don't even think I WANT to introduce Serena to you. She's much nicer to me than you are!"

Through all this, I stay silent. I'm slightly intimidated by her. Okay, I'm extremely intimidated by her! I mean beside the fact that she is pretty damn loud and outgoing... Darien's best friend is absolutely gorgeous. And without even trying to be! Her face isn't overdone with makeup; instead, her face is lightly covered in freckles, free of foundation and concealer. Cue insecurity!

"Aaand," Darien carried on, "This is Serena."

I smiled shyly, raising my hand in a tiny little awkward wave, "Hello"

Molly smiled back at me and repeated my greeting, "Hello. So you're the girl that's made Darien Shields 'settle down'."

It wasn't a question. It was a statement. And I could feel her eyes dragging up and down my body as if she was evaluating me. She raised her eyes to mine and cocked her eyebrow as if to say 'That's it?' Though she never spoke a word.

After enough small talk to try and get rid of the awkward feeling surrounding us all, I decided to head home, after all, I did have homework that I had neglected to do.

"Well I suppose I should be heading home. Homework to do and all that." I smiled slightly, not missing the look of delight that quickly flashed across Molly's face.

I turned towards Darien and leant up to plant a soft chaste kiss on his lips, "I'll see ya tomorrow?" I asked quietly, aware that we had an audience of two.

He smiled and brought his lips back down to mine, softly pressing them together again, "Absolutely," he whispered back, "I'll walk you home,"

I frowned, "I literally live just next door. I'll be fine and besides, Molly is here especially see you. I'm sure you have a whole heap of catching up to do." I gave him a pointed look, telling him not to argue.

He chuckled, "Okay, okay. I'll see you tomorrow then."

I grinned and turned around to the two onlookers, "It was nice meeting you Molly. I'm sure I'll see you around. Bye Daphne, have a good night!"

And that's how I left my boyfriend's house, wondering 'what the hell was that?'

Well? What did you think?

Sorry it's a really short chapter!
