Chapter 2

As time went on Darien and Serena forgot about the incident at the lake and began to grow closer. After nearly ten years Darien finally got the nerve up to ask Serena out for a date.

"Serena, I was wondering," Darien began, "are you by chance doing anything on Saturday night?" 'Oh man this sounds so cheesy.'

"I don't really have anything planned right now, why?" Serena asked. 'If he doesn't ask me out, I'm through with him.'

"Well I was hoping that you would let me take you out to dinner and a movie," Darien said.

"Yes!" Serena exclaimed, then quickly corrected herself. "I mean I would be delighted to. I'll see you Saturday Darien."

As he walked away he had a stunned look on his face. 'She said yes. Oh my god, she said yes. I hope that I can get reservations in time, and Dad will loan me some money.'

Soon enough, but not soon enough for Darien and Serena, Saturday came. Darien had gotten reservations made at Red Lobster. (A/N: I know you don't really need it there, but that place does get packed and it is expensive so bare with me.) The two ate their meal and Darien paid for it then took her to the movies.

"What movie do you want to see?" Darien asked.

"It doesn't really matter, so long as I'm with you," Serena replied.

"Well then how about Crazy/Beautiful?" Darien asked.

"Sounds good to me," Serena said.

After getting into the theater, the two got a tub of popcorn and headed towards the movie show room. When they got there, they noticed a pair of chairs in the center row, right next to the aisle. They quickly sat and began watching the movie, although that didn't last long.

As they stared into each others' eyes before a kiss a man ran into the room and quickly grabbed Serena. "Alright people, here's the deal, if you do as I say then no one will get hurt. If not then I start with this girl," the man yelled.

Everyone sat still not knowing what to do. Darien looked into Serena's eyes and saw the terror in them. He remembered that same look on her face from when he pushed her into the lake so many years ago. He quickly resolved in that instant to do whatever it took to get her back.

After waiting for a few minutes Darien stood up. "Sit down or else I will kill this girl," the man said.

"Please don't do that. I don't know what you want, and I don't care. I'll give you anything I have, just please give me back the girl," Darien pleaded.

"Well now, what do you have that I could possibly want?" the man asked.

"Here, take my money, I know it's not much, but it's all I have," Darien said.

"Not good enough, what else ya got son?" the man asked greedily.

"Here's my wallet. It has my credit cards in it. How about this watch. My grandfather gave it to me. I know it looks old, but it is worth some money. It's made from gold," Darien pleaded.

"Sounds good, but not good enough. I need a way out of here," the man began.

"Here's the keys to my car. Go ahead take it. Just please don't take her away from me. I need her, she's my life," Darien said.

The man quickly grabbed the keys and headed for the door with Serena in tow. Darien quickly jumped up and rushed the man. He hit the man with a quick snap to the neck and dropped him. He grabbed Serena and ran to get away.

The man recovered and stood up. He saw the young couple running and took aim. Just as he was about to pull the trigger a loud bang was heard and the man fell down with a bullet wound to his shoulder. An officer came in and quickly cuffed the man before he could do anything else.

Darien and Serena looked up from the corner to see the officer cuff the man. They grasped onto each other and shared a long, passionate kiss. "Thank God you're alright. I swear if anything would have happened to you I would have killed him myself," Darien said.

"Darien, did you mean what you said earlier? About me being your life?" Serena asked.

"Yes, I don't know what I would do if I were to lose you," Darien said. "Look, Serena, I know this isn't the best time or place for this, but," Darien said as he got onto one knee, "Serena Parker, will you make me the happiest man on the face of the Earth by marrying me?"

Tears formed in Serena's eyes, as she looked at Darien. She started to say yes, but found she couldn't speak. She nodded her head weakly before collapsing into his arms and crying tears of joy and fear.

Darien held her tight while she let it all out. After she finished Darien wiped her face with his shirt. "You know you really are beautiful," he said.

"Darien, I love you so very much, and I would love to marry you," Serena began.

"But?" Darien asked.

"But, I'm not ready to marry yet. I do want to marry you, but not now. I want to wait until I'm out of school at least," Serena said.

"I had no other plan. I want you to finish before anything like a wedding were to happen. Believe me Serena, I would wait until the end of time to marry you if that's the way you wanted it," Darien said.

"Darien," Serena said before embracing him in another kiss.

The two left the theater after being interviewed by the police. On their way home Serena spoke, "So what's planned for the next date? Are we going to infiltrate a secret spy orginization?"

"Oh much better than that. We're going to..." Darien said as they headed home.
