Serena

His POV

I force myself to be interested in all of the messages Emily is sending me as I sit in the back seat of Serena's car. The memories of moments ago flood my mind as I see Serena laughing as she chases Eli.

My hand still tingles from the few minutes we held hands and I wonder if hers does to. Just then, Emily sends multiple pictures of her in dresses and asks which one she looks the best in.

She's a beautiful woman, but I can't seem to find the interest in her as I do in Serena.

I take a peek at Serena since I'm in the back drivers side, and I take in her long hair that has a few waves due to it getting wet. My eyes trail down towards her beautiful plush lips that I can only dream of kissing. My fingers crave to touch her smooth skin, to kiss it.

The first moment I saw her at the airport my entire being became captivated and drawn towards Serena and all that is her.

The new feeling scared me, since I've never indulged in romance or a romantic relationship with women. The moment we were introduced my words were caught and taken away from me.

I know that Serena feels the same electricity, her body gives it away. Her body screams at me to touch her, to kiss her, but I don't. The other part of me yells all of the reasons why I shouldn't pursue Serena, most of it being my asshole of a father and the rich snobby assholes that make up my family.

All excluding my mother.

I look back down at my phone and I see Emily has found a dress she is going to wear but wants it to be a surprise.

I immediately regretted getting Emily's number, but I wanted to try to get Serena off my mind. I still do, but I don't want to use Emily to do that.

But it's to late now, and I now have to get ready for a night out with Emily.

For the rest of the day I've ignored Serena like she was the plague until it was time for me to get ready for the night.

Emily texts me the address to a bar that supposedly has the best drinks, which is exactly what I need at the moment.

I put together an outfit and I'm soon making sure the coast is clear of Serena before I head downstairs and run into Elias.

" Well don't you look snazzy. Where you headed to?" Elias says wiggling his eyebrows.

" Remember Emily from that ice cream shop? We're gonna go out to a bar downtown and have a few drinks. " I say

" Hmmm, nope doesn't ring a bell. " he says after a moment.

He's a shit liar.

" Tall blonde? " I say

" Nope. Be careful man, one call and I'm there okay?" He says patting my shoulder.

Both of us stand at 6'5 , and I'd say we're both pretty big dudes. But Elias doesn't give off the ' I'll beat you up ' vibe though, it's more of a friendly one. Until it comes to Serena, then he's in ' I'll fucking kill you ' mode.

" Yeah yeah , later. " I say as my Uber arrives.

Before I walk out , I stop myself as I see Serena's car isn't here.

" Hey, where is Serena? " I ask

" Not sure, she only said she was going out with a few friends. " he yells back.

Where did she go?

I hop into the car and we're off towards the bar. I can only hope that this will go good and that we end up hitting it off so that Serena can leave my mind.
