Chapter 7- Getting to know each other

Now that Serena was up, she put all the things back into the envelope and gets out of bed. All the girls walk out of Darien's room while Serena trailed behind. She took a moment to look around. She didn't mean to pry but she was slightly curious to see how he truely was, so just peeked around a couple of things.

She walks across the hall to her room and cleans up. After all she still had her wedding dress on. Her hair was a mess and the dress was all wrinkled. She took a shower and made her self presentable. Putting on a baby-t and capris she walked out of the room and sat on the couch. All the girls were getting dressed up and getting ready to go out.

"Serena come on. We only have today and some what of tomorrow left to enjoy Vegas, you have to come." Mina pleaded.

"I learned my lesson last night. I think i'm going to take it easy." Serena said as she grabbed a magazine.

"Ok fine but we are going to have fun with out you." Mina says while she walks out the door.

Serena wasn't feeling so good. It wasn't because of the drinking or the partying last night but the whole marriage thing. She never truely committed herself to anyone. She never really went as far as saying the "L" word and now she finds herself married. This kind of thing was hard for her to swallow. The knock at the door pulled her from her train of thought. She put down her magazine and went to open the door only to find that there is a big bouquet of roses in her face. Lowering them down it revealed Darien. "Can i come in?" Serena nods and takes the flowers. She smells them as she puts them down. "So how are you doing?"

"I've been better." She says as she sits and looks at him attentively.

"i heard the girls are going out tonight, why arent you with them?"

"I kind of hate Vegas now."

Darien nods his head and looks away from her. "While we are on the subject and I hate to mention this but what are we going to do?"

Serena looked at him slightly confused. "What do you mean?"

"Well when we get back i'm sure people would know about us." He says as he sits down next to her. Serena didn't even realize that she would have to deal with all the people back home. It hit her that her parents and everyone she knew would want to do something about it. She puts her hands on her head as Darien continues. " I think that if we are going to pull this off there is one thing that we have to do."

Serena looks up at him "And what would that be?"

"We need to move in together."

"What!" Serena couldn't believe that he was suggesting such a thing.

"Now just listen. I thought this through millions of time and i dont see any other way. Its not typical for a husband and wife to live in two different places." Serena calmed down realizing that he was right. O she hated to know he was right.

"So what i'm supposed to do move in with you?"

" Well unless you want me to live with you and the girls. I wouldn't mind but ..."

"Ok i see your point." Serena says interrupting him. "Wait. I am not staying in the same room as you. I will require my own room or else this isn't going to work."

"Fine you can have any room you want."

"Are we going to do this as soon as we get home tomorrow?"

"Well when would it be fitting for you?" He say looking at her sarcastically

"Ok but i didn't even pack. I dont think we can do it all tomorrow."

"Well all you have to do is pack the stuff in your room. You dont need a bed or your dresser. You may not get to unpack tomorrow but you'll have everything." Serena nods and stares out the glass door. "Well then i will see you tomorrow on the plane."

"What? You wont be here in the morning?"

"No i have to see a friend."

"I can tell your not talking about the guys."

"No i'm not."

"Then who?" Serena looks at him suspiciously.

"Why is it you want to know?"

"I think your wife is entitled to know where your going." She loved to use that against him.

Darien smiles as he gets up. "He is guy i knew in England."

"O right." Serena says sarcastically then looks away.

"Seriously. "

"Ok i'll see you tomorrow on the plane then. "

"Seriously it is a friend from England." He says walking out the door. Serena gives a smirk then spends the rest of the night flipping channels on the tv and ordering room service.

The next day the girls were packing with not so much speed. They got in a bit late and didn't get enough sleep. They had to buy extra suitcases for all the things they bought. At least this time they didnt have to carry all the luggage themselves.

Serena thought she should tell the girls the news about her and Darien now so they will have time to heal on the plane. She asked all the girls into her room.

"Serena what is it we have to pack." Rei says in a mad tone.

"Look you guys bacause of what happened on this trip there are going to be some changes when we get back."

"What are you talking about nothing is going to change." Mina says stuffing things into her suitcase.

"Well i wont be living with you guys anymore." All the girls fell silent. "I'm going to move in with Darien. If we want this thing to look real then its only right that a husband and wife live together right."

"We'll still see each other right?" Lita says sadly.

"Of course. I'll come over whenever we want to do something or you guys can come over and dont forget we'll see each other at the club." Her voice was shaky now. All the girls had tears down their faces. It was the end of an era. They were always together ever since they were little. Now they were spitting up. They then all had a group hug.

"Who would have thought that Serena would be the first to go." Rei says wiping her tears.

"I know i mean Serena is just not the marrying type and i would have though it would have been Mina or Lita seeing as how they fall in love so easily."Amy says sitting down.

"Hey!" Serena, Lita and Mina says defensively.

"No offense guys i mean you know that just the way you are." They all go back to their packing. Leaving the hotel Serena said goodbye to Joe and thanked him for everything. Driving through Vegas Serena could remember the things she saw the night she was with Darien. Everything was brighter and so full of life when she was with him. A part of her didn't want to leave but then a part of her hated what happened here and she never wanted to come back. They arrive at the air strip with Darien already there. They all get into the plane and took their seats. It wasn't the happiest moments. Amy had her little problem again but that soon faded. All through the plane ride the girls slowly became themselves seeing the better side of this. They would have an extra room for whatever they want. They were arguing over what it should be. Amy wanted another library, mina wanted a big closet, Rei wanted a zen room, and Lita wanted to change it into gym. Serena was sitting there listening to every word they said.

Darien sits down next to her and says "You look upset."

"Well i havent even gone yet and they are already deciding what my room should be."

Darien laughs "O yea about that its all set up."

"Whats all set up?"

"I got a moving van ready for you. When you get home you'll have all the things you need to pack your stuff. You know boxes, bubble wrap all that stuff."

"Wow your all organized." Darien smiles and Serena remembered what they spoke about the day earilier "So how was it seeing your "friend" again."

"Truely it was a male friend."

"OK ok."

"Anyways, it was good and bad."

"What do you mean? It was good to see him but when you saw him you guys got into a fight?"

"No it was good to see him but it brought back memories."

"O what memories?" Serena was very curious.

"Whats with you and all the questions?"

"Whats with you and all the secrets?"

"Alright if it will make you stop, why dont i just tell you my life story?" He says sarcastically.

"Why dont you? If we are going to make this work i need to know all i can about you."

"You're not serious."

"I am."

"Alright if i have to tell, so do you." Serena nods and Darien looks away "If you must know i went to see a friend i knew when i lived in England. He was my best friend growning up. His parents and my parents were friends. When my parents died they were really kind to me and took me in. I stayed with them for a while but when i was old enough to be on my own i said my goodbyes and left."

Serena stared at him with sad eyes "I didnt know that your parents died."

"Yea they died when i was ten in a car accident. I inherited all my wealth from them. Robert and his family took me in until i was eighteen."

"Robert? Thats the guy you saw today?"

"Yea. Robert Miles. After i left he continued to attend school in England. A couple of years ago i get a letter from another friend saying that he moved to Vegas. He helps run a casino that his father had a connection with."

"So how come you don't have and english accent? Why all the moving?"

"My parents were americans who fell in love with england and stayed but we visited the states alot. I guess i never picked it us from all the traveling we did." He paused before answering her other question. " I dont know why i move its just when i get tired of one city i move on."

"I get it. When there are no girls left that interest you, you move on to the next town."

"No it's not like that. I just dont find a city i like."

"Yea ok."

"Ok that's enough about me what about you? Its your turn now."

"There is nothing to tell. I was born in Spring Hopes, i lived there for twenty-one years, in other words my whole life, and i will probably live there till i die. I don't know. Even though the people there get a bit annoying i just can't leave. It's home and i guess every home has it's disfunctional environment."

"Right. Well what about you and guys?"

"What about me and guys?"

"Why are you so reserved when it comes to guys?"

"I am not"

"Yes you are or did you forget what happened what happened when we first met."

"Thats differents i didn't like you."

"You didn't even know me."

"I knew enough just by looking at you."

"Ok if you say so. What about your past? Are their any guys there?"

"Yes there is but i'm not going to tell you about me and guys. "

"Hey i told you about my parents."

"Yea but i didnt ask you about every girls you were with did i."

"Do you want to know?"

"No are you kidding me? There is not enough time in the world to hear about your many girlfriends. Yet i am curious to know if you've ever been in love?"

"I thought you didn't want to know about me and girls."

"Not all just the ones you loved. If any."

"Me yea right. Can you picture me in love?" Serena looks at him with unbelieving eyes "OK once."

"Really what happened?" Serena was very interested.

"She was wonderful. She did everything. You know cook, clean, and sew. She loved kids and wanted to be a music tacher.She was in college at the time getting her degree in teaching. She got me to sing."

"Susie Homemaker huh. So what happened?"

"Well i met her when i already had some what of a reputation and she didn't really know about my past."

"How could she not know?"

"This was before i was really known. Yes it is true i had many girlfriends before her but they meant nothing. One night we were out and one of the girls i use to go out with saw me. She came up to us and started talking about old times. That night i told her about my past and she thought i would never settle down so she broke up with me."

"Hey i would do the same if i could." Serena then looks at him. He was truely heartbroken. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so rude."

"It's ok im over it." Darien says hiding his pain. Serena suddenly realized what had been Dariens cause for his promiscuity. One lost love and he gave up. She then realizes that she is like him except she had her heart broken much more that him. She decides to cheer him up.

"Well think of it this way. If she let you go she didn't know what she was losing. You are a fairly decent guy and your better off. Besides if she taught you to sing, she didn't do a good job."

"Are you saying that i'm a good guy?"

"No i just said you are decent, not the greatest guy in the world."

The rest of what Serena said sank in "Hey i can sing."

"Yea sure you can. The first day you came proved that"

"I told you it was the music."

"Yea the music." She says sarcastically while looking away.

"Ok now you need to tell me something. You know about me and girls so i want to know about you. Were there any special someones?"

Serena could tell he wasn't going to let this drop so what else could she do. "Ok fine i'll tell you."

"Finally the ice queen melts." He says smiling.

"Hey! Do you want to know or not?" She says slightly offended.

"Yes. I'm sorry."

Serena takes a breath before bringing back the memories. "Ok there were a couple of guys." Darien has a gigantic smile on his face. She was finally opening up. "My first love was a guy i met on a summer trip to Venice. He was an artist. He said i was his muse but then it got to the point where the only thing he cared about was his art and it didnt work out. Then later there was a football player."

"Professional?"

"Yea but i'm not telling who. He was always on the road and he was a big jock so that didnt work out. Then there was the musician. I thought it would work, you know i was a performer and he was a performer but then he fell in love with a groupie. By then i didn't want anything to do with guys until Luke"

"Luke what kind of name is that?"

"Its French. He was a racer. All he could do was race, race, race. Never stopping. Even when he got into an accident he just never stopped. I realized that he could kill himself and he wasn't going to give it up so i left before i lost him."

"That's all? Geez i thought you would have more."

"Well unlike you i don't go out for the fun of the game and no thats not all there is one more. Patrick." Serena says as she looks down. "After Luke i thought that my heart would never heal. It took me a year to get over him but then Patrick came along. He was different. He was perfect. He was educated, witty, and my parents loved him. "

"So what happened to him?"

"He was into the "Family business" so it was a damper on the relationship."

"What do you mean "Family business"?"

"You know family. Think about it."

"You mean the whole Sicilian thing like "Hey you talkin to me?" type of family?"

"No not that Family business."

"Well then what?"

"OK since your obviously not getting it. He would have the cell phone ringing twenty-four seven, he was always away on business, on my birthday he left because of a stock mess up. Need i say more? I couldn't take it so i broke it off."

"O i get it get out before your to far in."

"Well i didn't exactly want to live like that. A gift is no substitute for the real thing."

"Why is it you go for guys with other commitments?"

"Why is it you go for girls that have no brains?"

"Hey not all the girls i go out with are lack-minded . Look at you and besided I dont do that purposly."

"Well i dont do it purposely either." By the time they finished their conversation the plane ride was over and they were landing now. So they buckle their seat belts and a couple of minutes later they were on the ground. It was still early in the afternoon. Even as they were exiting the plane Darien continued to defend himself. When they were off the plane Darien told the men to put Serena's luggage in his limo. "Why are you doing that?"

"Well you are moving in with me right? This is one less thing that will have to go in the van." Serena nods and then gets into the limo. "I will come by later to help you out." He then closes her door and then they left.

Arriving at the gate of the house gave Serena such a feeling of sorrow. There were boxes on the front step. She grabs them as she walked into the house, which made Serena feel even worse. This was the last time she would walk into the house and say it was hers. It was depressing for her. The girls put off unpacking to help Serena. They were going through her things and all the memories came back. Later Darien came to help carry boxes to the truck. When everything was finaally done Serena stood in her room looking around. It was so empty. All that was left was the bed and dresser . She closes the door and walks down stairs. Darien turns to look at her. "Are you ready to go?"

Serena looks at the girls "Give me a minute." She walks up to them "Well this is it. I'm leaving" They all break down and cry on each other's shoulder. Darien groans at the mushy sight and walks away he couldn't take all that emotion. "We'll still see each other and as soon as im settled in i'm having you guys over." Serena then lets go and walks to her car and gets in. Giving one last wave to them she leaves. She follows the van all the way to Dariens house. She remembered the first time she saw it. It looked different now. Lights lit up all the fountains and the house glowed. This is her house now. This is where she would stay for six months. Pulling up she felt a slight calm when she say Darien waiting on the steps. She gets out of her car and walks up to Darien. "Why aren't you unloading everything?"

"Well we need to know which room to take it to."

"O right." She walks in and looks around. She didn't go in the last time she was here so she was awed by the site she saw. It was beautiful. It had a victorian theme mixed with a artistic theme.

They walking up the stairs to the rooms. Darien leads her through each one of them to see which she would like best. They were all so plain until they came to a set of double doors. "I think this is the room you'll like." He opens the doors and Serena immediately fell in love with the room. It was huge and it had everything she wanted a fireplace, balcony, a huge bathroom, and a closet that was five times the size of her old one. The walls were an off white color and the carpet was white.

"I love this room." She says as she walks around it.

"I knew you would."

"Then why didn't you show me this one first?"

"I dont know. I just wanted you to look around first and saving the best for last."

"Well this is my room. I want this one."

"Alright i'll tell the movers to bring your things in."

"Where is your room?"

"Right next door." Serena looked at him as he walked down the stairs. He did it purposely. He probably had this room made all nice so that he would be right next door to her. Serena walked around the room getting the feel of it. The first thing she ran to was the closet. It was a walk in closet bigger than her old one. Then she ran to the bathroom which had both shower and a bath tub. The last thing she did was go on to the balcony. Opening the double doors she could see the whole backyard. There was a big fountain and there were gardens very where. The terrace was huge. She guessed it was that way for parties or something like that. She leaned over the edge of the balcony to see what else there was. There was a pool on the other side of the house. Darien walks in and sees Serena on the balcony. He sneeks up behind her "Beautiful isn't it." Serena jumped.

"Dont do that." He laughs at her then hugs her.

"I'm sorry. Why dont i give you a tour while the movers bring everything in." Serena nods. He then takes her hand and leads her down one of the grand stairs cases.As they were walking Serena noticed there was actually an elevator in the house, no more lugging suitcases up and down the stairs. There were three floors one with all the nessessities kitchen and such, another with all the rooms and a gym/basement. He showed her everything. The office that lead out to the terrace, the living room, the dining room that was huge, the kitchen with a breakfast nook, the play room which was basically the living room with a wet bar and a tv with surround sound system, that room also led to the terrace. What caught Serena's eye was a beautiful white baby grand piano that was also in there. She was surprised he had one he didn't seem like the music type. Maybe he wasn't lying when he said he was into music. Then he took her out side. The terrace had tables for when ever there was company. He showed her the gardens and the pool. The place was so beautiful Serena couldn't believe she were going to living there. Even the old house wasn't this nice. They walk back in and up to her room "The maid comes in four times a week and the cook comes every morning. Thomas is here everyday. He stays in the house at the back of our."

"Thomas?"

"The butler."

"O right." She pauses and looks at him. "You have a cook."

"Yea why."

"I'm not used to having a cook."

"You didn't have a cook?"

"Not really. All the girls would just you know have what ever for breakfast then we would have lunch at the club and at night we would all help Lita make dinner."

"For some reason i can't see you cooking."

"Hey i can cook a little. You dont live with Lita all you life and not learn something."

"So Lita is the chef ?"

"Well yea. Her grandmother was a great chef and taught her everything." Serena then turns to him "Hey wait do we have to put on a show for the servants to? " They walk into the room that was full of boxes.

"Well i guess so. I mean you never know what they will gossip about." Serena nods and looks at all the boxes "Do you want me to help you unpack?"

"No thanks i think i'll do it tomorrow. Its kind of late."

"Ok then i'll see you tomorrow and ...." Darien paused and looked at her.

"What?"

"The club."

"We'll just go and see what happens. Maybe no one will know yet."

"Ok if you say so. Good night."

"Good night." Serena closes her door and hears Darien walk next door and close his door. She walks around looking for her suitcases. After all she needs her sleeping clothes. She then walks into the bathroom with her make-up case and gets everything situated. She walks out all ready for bed and climbs into her already made bed. The bed was huge and she felt so small. So she opens one of her boxes and throws a couple of stuffed animals on to the bed. She gets in again and falls asleep soon after.
