Rated Pg13 or R (Depends on how strict you are) Standard disclaimers apply....... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 6: They lost, but they still loved ~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~ @}~~~Serena's POV~~~}@ We had been going out for about a year nowand Im the happiest girl to ever walk the face of the Earth. Of course 'NOW' all of our friends know, including Andrew, that were an item. Now it was Summer, my faveorite time of year! "So Muffin where do you want to go today?" "Hmmm how about the beach?" "Alright. Ive been meaning to get a tan anyways." We were sitting on Darien's couch contimplating on where to go. Hmmm the beach sounds great! That gives me a chance to see Darien in swimming trunks! Its my lucky day!" (A.N. Can you just picture that! Oh wow! ok now I'm Drooling...) "Alright, I need to go home and get my bathing suit. I'll meet you back here in....Oh 15 minutes." "Alright now hurry! The sooner you leave the sooner you'll get back to me." "Oh Darien." I giggled then walked to him, giving him a brief kiss on the lips. "Your so sweet to me." "And I always will be...my princess." "Hmmm I love you so much." I sighed. "And I love you." "Well Im gone Darien, I'll see you in a little bit." "I'll miss you!." Darien yelled as I walked out the door. As I walked down the street I thought of how good my life was when I was with Darien. He made me so happy. In about two months I'de be starting school agian.Im going to be a Senior. I can't believe it!! Im almost seventeen. Pretty soon I'd be getting a place of my own. Ive always wished to live with Dairen, but a girls gotta be paitient. He'll come around, I know it! I just hope its soon. I know that we've only been together for about a year but it just feels right. By the time I got all that out of my head I was home walking up the stairs. "Mom, Im going swimming I'll be back later." "Alright dear anything you say. Just be home in time for dinner." "Okay!" With that I grabbed my bathing suit and ran out the door. In about ten minutes I was back at Darien's. As soon as I walked in he came to the door and pulled me into a bearhug. "I missed you." "I was only gone for twenty minutes Darien." "Doesn't matter. Do you know that when your not here in my arms all the color just drains from my life." I lifted my head from his chest and looked up into his eyes. In a matter of seconds we were kissing passionatly, forgetting about our plan to go to the beach. I dropped my bathing suit, which was in my hands, on the floor and he led me to the couch and the kiss turned into an all out make-out session. We were 'making-out' on the couch until I had to for me to go, sadly. We stopped and I checked my watch. Sure enough I only had five minutes to get home. With a regretful sigh, I gave Darien one last passionate kiss before I stood up. "Sorry Darien, I have to go. Its dinner time and I promised my mother." "Its alright, I understand. Don't forget to dream of me." I smiled at his statement. "I would never forget." He stood up, gave me a peck on the lips, and then I left for the door. "I love you." "I love you to, with all my heart." "Bye Dairen, my prince." Then I stepped out of Dariens apartment and started towards home. @}~~~Darien's POV~~~{@ I was lying in bed thinking of how much Serena means to me and how I was going to tell her about ..... (A.N. Sorry but I wanted to keep you all in suspention.) "How am I going to do this." I sighed then rolled on my side, drifting off to sleep. @}~~~Authors POV~~~{@ Serena and Darien met in the park the next day. Darien told Serena he had something to tell her. "What is it Darien?" Serena looked worriedly at him. She could tell something was wrong, by the way he sounded over the phone. "Darien, is something wrong?" Darien sighed then took a step forward. "Serena." He took hold of her hands. "I...I got a scholarship...to transfer to Yale...and...Im going." He stopped to look into her eyes. They were brimmed with tears, but no words escaped her lips. "I'll come back to you, I promise." He turned around, his back now facing her. He fiddled with something in his pocket, then turned back around. "Theres also something I need to ask you..Serena." She sniffed alittle, so close to tears. "...What is it Darien?" She asked, bearly above a wisper. He sighed, then very gently got on one knee, taking her hands in his. "Serena..Will you marry me?" He then pulled a black velvet box out of his pocket, and opened it. Inside was a gold ring, Diamonds and ruby's accented the ring beautifully. Her eyes widened, and she tried to speak but couldn't. All these emotions in one fragile mind. She was so happy he asked her to marry her, yet so sad he was leaving her. "..yes...YES!...I'll marry you!!" She paused to look in his eyes. He was crying! "Darien whats wrong?" Darien held her in his arms for a long moment before speaking. "Its alright Serena, these are tears of joy. I just wish I didn't have to leave you." "Its alright, just so long as you come back to me." He grabbed the ring from the box and slid it on her finger. "For now, until I come back to you, this will be the symbol of our love for each other.....This will be our love ring." Still sobbing they embraced. Then Serena started to cry uncontrolebly, and Darien tryed to comfort her by whispering in her ear and smoothing out her hair. "Don't worry Serena, I'll come back as soon as possible." Sniffling slightly, Serena lifted her head from his chest and looked into his eyes. "....When are you suppost to to leave?" She wispered all the while sobbing. "Im scheduled to leave in a week or so." "Darien....Im so happy that you proposed to me, and that you got accepted to Yale, but.. I'll miss you so very much." Holding her tightly Darien tried to comfort her and tell her it was alright, that it wont be long. Letting go, slightly convinced Serena was okay once agian, He gave her a long, gentle kiss on the lips. "...I have to go now, its getting late. You should go to, wouldn't want my fiancee to catch cold, now would I?" With one last embace they moved on, towards home. 'Just think Serena, He'll be back in about two or three years to finish collage at Juuban, and then you will be a happy family. Just what you've always wanted! Mabey even wth a child, or two, or three....' ~The Next Monday~ Darien's flight leaves in about half an hour and everyone was there to bid him farewell. "Were gonna miss ya buddy. Don't forget to write, ya hear?" Andrew said as he gave his best friend a hug. most everyone else stayed silent, for they didn't know Darien that well, but all in all, they were still his friend. Serena never left his side the entire time they were together. Serena's family took their engagement quite well, and even her father wished them the best...to Serena's surprise. A loud voice came over the speaker. "Boarding, flight 971 from Japan, to NewYork." Darien sighed and looked to all his friends sadly. "...Well this is it, Im going to miss you all but I promise to write you and call you when I can. Im going to miss you most of all Sere. I don't know what Im going to do without you." "Oh Darien, Im going to miss you so much!" they embraced for a moment before having a long, passionate kiss. "I'll come back as soon as I can, I love you Serena." With tears in her eyes she nodded, and waved to him. She watched as he boarded the plane. She watched as it took off. As it was clear out of site, she sighed, looked to the ground and turned around to go home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About two and a half years later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darien came back about four months early to see Serena. He didn't call or inform anyone that he had come back to Tokyo, he wantedto surprise Serena. Neither one of them had broken their promise towards one another. They never looked at another person with passion in their eyes until he came back to her. He always wrote her so they would keep in touch, and she would always write him back. Now he was back and everything was going to be as it was before... The first thing he did before going anywhere was go to his old apartment to unpack. He knew Serena had her own apartment now, and was managing pretty well. She had a small job, and her only companion was her cat, Luna. He finished unpacking and went to his car. There was no need to call anyone, he had memorized every little detail about her apartment, from her letters. He had noticed, just by reading, that she had grown up. Two years had done wonders for her, and he was pretty sure she was more beautiful than ever. Before he knew it he was in the lot of her apartment complex and heading towards the elevator. He got in, and pushed the number that would take him to Serena's floor. It was like slow torcher for him to wait so long, and yet be so close to Serena. He hadn't seen her for more than two years, and it was killing him inside. The dinging of the bell, and the opening of the door, is Snapped his attention back to Earth. 'im coming Serena! We can finally be together agian.' He came up to a door that read 12R. It was Serena's Apartment. He breathed a deep sigh before knocking on the door. After about the third knock the door swung open. There stood Serena, even more beautiful than the last time he had seen her. She just starred for a moment, wide eyed, trying to comprehend if the figure she saw before her was a mirage, or real. She gave up and decided to follow what her heart thought. She flung herself into Darien's arms. She was so overjoyed to see him, she didn't know how hard she hurled herself onto him and nearly knocked the breath out of him. He didn't notice much, he was just as happy. "I missed you so much Serena." She didn't say anything, instead she looked up into his face and then locked him into a very passionate kiss. Tongues collided, and breaths stilled as they backed up into the apartment, and...lets just say that, in a fit of raging hormones, they fulfilled their love for each other. (A.N. Sorry people, Im trying to keep it as clean as possible.) ~~**~~ The next morning, Darien awoke first and at that moment, looking at his sleeping goddess, he knew that he was once again complete.
