Just a Walk in the Park

You were sat at home buzzing about this evening. It was Valentine’s Day and you didn’t know what Darren was planning he told you to go round to his place at 7 so you were just waiting and waiting for that time to come.

You couldn’t wait any longer so you decided just to leave and get there early.

You got to Darren’s and walked up to his door. You gave yourself a quick once over just to check you looked fine. When you were finally happy you knock on his door.

‘Hi… you look beautiful.’ Darren answers and just stares at you,

You just laugh at him and give him a quick kiss as you walk past him trying to find any clues as to what he had planned for today.

There were no signs so you turn back to Darren only to find him laughing at you,

‘You’re not gonna find anything.’ He says as he takes your hand and runs to the lounge were you both sit on his sofa, ‘I thought a lot about what we should do today and I just decided we should have a nice evening round mine watching soppy romance films all night.’

‘Dare… you’re perfect.’ You say snuggling into him as he holds out a film. Moulin Rouge.

Of course this was the film he would pick, it was one of your favourites, you especially loved the ending when they sing Come What May to each other.

You settle in for the perfect night as Darren puts his arm around you and you start watching the film.

The night seemed to fly by and you were sad the film was ending soon, you were up to the part where Christian was leaving Satine up on stage by herself and your eyes were watering up. You couldn’t help it this film always made you cry but then Darren stirred next to you and he paused it just as it got to the best part, you look up to him,

‘Why’d you pause it?’ you ask wiping away the tears in your eyes,

He just kisses you on the forehead and says, ‘Come with me.’

Now you realised this night wasn’t just going to be a film night,

Of course Darren had something planned. He always does!

You start smiling as he leads you outside his house and into his car,

‘Where are you taking me?’ you ask smirking across as he starts driving,

‘Just trust me.’ Darren says looking across at you and taking your hand in his,

‘Okay.’ You say and you wait as you look at the scenery passing by your window.

You start recognising where you are and you wonder why he might be taking you back to your apartment but then he stops by the park outside your house.

Without saying a word Darren takes you out of his car and leads you into the middle of the park, you were totally confused but you trusted him so you just waited until you heard music starting to play. Darren turned back around to look at you, he was singing Come What May,

Never knew I could feel like this,
Like I've never seen the sky before,
Want to vanish inside your kiss,
Every day I love you more and more.

You couldn’t believe what he was doing as he took your hands in his and pulled you closer towards him, this was why he paused the film where it was, he wanted to act it out himself,

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Telling me to give you everything,
Seasons may change, winter to spring,
But I love you until the end of time,

He puts his hand around your waist and keeps the other in your hand as he starts slow dancing with you, you just laughed to yourself as he sings the chorus to you,

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day,

He looks to you with so much love as he whispers into your ear, ‘Your turn.’ So your start singing,

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place,
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace,

Darren comes in with you and you both sing to each other as you dance across the park with just the moon light to see,

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,
It all revolves around you,

And there's no mountain too high,
No river too wide,
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side,
Storm clouds may gather,
And stars may collide.

But I love you (I love you)
Until the end of time(until the end of time)

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, Oh I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

You stop dancing and face each other, linking hands with your faces inches apart.

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

You both stand there for a while just staring at each other and smiling, you couldn’t get over how perfect today was,

‘I will love you until my dying day.’ Darren says softly towards you, he kisses you slowly.

Your foreheads rest against each other’s,

‘I love you too Dare, so so much.’ You say breathlessly.

You stand like that for what seems like forever but Darren suddenly moves and looks into your eyes,

‘(Y/N)?’ he says,

‘Yeah?’ you reply,

‘Open this.’ Darren gives you a box and so many ideas pop into your head.

You open it slowly to find a key just like you gave him but it was to his house. There was a note underneath it,

‘Move in with me?’

At this moment you were so happy. You looked up to Darren with tears filling your eyes,

‘Of course I will.’ You say jumping into his arms,

‘Are you sure? Because if you’re not sure then we don’t have to do this yet, I mean it’s a big step and if you’re not comfortable then-‘ Darren was rambling,

‘I’m 100% sure!’ you say putting your hand out to stop him talking and you pull him in for a kiss, ‘So how about we go back to our house?’ you ask giggling,

‘I love you.’ Darren replies grabbing your hand and you’re still smiling about what’s just happened.

You couldn’t believe you were going to be moving in with Darren! This was a big deal for you but you knew that as long as Darren was there everything would be perfect.
