Just a Walk in the Park

You wake up with a huge smile on your face as you remember last night… you and Darren spent most of the night kissing on the sofa but it turned into a huge tickling fight. Darren eventually left and then you spent the rest of the night writing more songs.

‘Yeah… my life is pretty good right now!’ you think out loud.

You finally decide to get up and see that Darren has sent you a text,

Darren : Good morning! So have any plans today..? ;)

He’s always able to make you smile even with a normal text,

You: Morning! Hmm… I don’t think so.. depends what your plans are? ;)

Darren: In that case… be ready for 7 tonight!

You: Okay… what are we doing? And what should I wear!? :O

Darren: You’ll look good in anything… but, not anything too fancy like say party clothes… ;)

You: Wait! Are you taking me to a party…?

Darren: Not a party as such…. ;)

You: Okay… I’m not going to be able to get it out of you am I? :(

Darren: Nope! ;)

You: Fine! But I’m going to get you back later…. ;)

Darren: Oh really? :O

You: Yep! Just you wait… *evil planning*

A plan was formulating in your head already as you pick out your clothes for tonight…

Hmm okay… so it’s going to be some kind of party…I wonder why it’s so special….

You think as you finally decide on your cream lace dress with embroidered red butterflies scattered on it…

Hmm this is quite short… and it’s not too revealing but I’m sure it’ll impress Darren…

Once you pick out your purse and shoes you spend the rest of your day thinking of where Darren could be taking you….

It’s finally 7 and you’re just about ready as you hear a knock at the door..

Time for the fun to begin..

You think as you answer the door to see Darren in black skinnies and a jumper blue jumper with a shirt underneath,

‘Hi there…. You look…. Stunning!’ Darren says as he is slightly taken aback by your dress.

He leans in for a kiss but just as his face is inches away from yours you put your hand out,

‘Nope… not tonight!’ you say with a wink,

‘Argh! This is so not fair!’ Darren says with longing in his eyes.

You just smirk and run past him towards his car, you turn around to find Darren turning slowly and walking up to you smiling as he knows what you’re doing now,

‘This isn’t going to work! You’re not going to get to me..’

‘We’ll see.’ You say mischievously as you get inside the car.

As Darren starts the car you just look to him and smile,

Oh my god! I can’t believe how good he looks tonight! I can’t believe I’m going to get through this night without kissing him…..

‘What are you smiling at?’ he asks confused,

‘Oh… nothing!’ you say as Darren start driving,

‘So any clues for the location of this ‘party’? you say as you reach over and put your hand on his leg, giving it a small squeeze, as you rest it there. Darren seems to be struggling to find his words as you see him staring at your lips,

‘Erm… err… noo…’ he says with a slight crack in his voice as he composes himself again, ‘no.. you’re not getting anything out of me.. but I will say something. Be prepared to meet lots of new people.’ He finishes with a smile,

‘New people? Really? You know how get meeting new people…’ you say as you start getting nervous about who these people could be,

‘Hey.. don’t worry… these people.. well they’re super nice and, well, you’ve heard their names before so it’ll be fine!’ he reassures you, and jokingly squeezes your leg the same way you did,

‘Hey don’t steal my moves!’ you say as you pretend to dance sexily, which just makes Darren laugh even more but you can see how much it pains him not being able to kiss you which makes you laugh at him,

‘You’re killing me here!’ Darren says pleading,

‘Serves you right for never telling me where we’re going!’ you say with a big smirk on your face,

‘You love it really otherwise you wouldn’t come along’ he says with a smirk.

‘Hmmm… We’ll see, it depends on who these people are that you’re surprising me with.’ You say crossing your arms over your chest.

‘Oh trust me! You’ll like them!’ Darren says taking your hand and giving it a squeeze.

You spend the rest of the car journey trying to get under Darren’s skin but he’s playing hard to get now. He finally pulls over,

‘You ready?’ he asks,

‘Yeah! Let’s do this!’ you say with a dramatic walk to the door which makes Darren laugh.

He holds onto your hand as if he didn’t to lose you as you walk through a crowd of dancing people,

‘There they are.’ Darren says as he points to a group of people.

You can’t believe your eyes as he’s pointing to the Glee cast,

Oh my god! These were the people he was talking about!

You turn to him and hit him in the arm,

‘How could you keep this from me?! Oh god! What if they don’t like me!’ you start getting worked up as you’re not ready to meet your idols,

‘Hey… you’ll be fine! They’ll love you, okay?’ he says as he cups your face looking straight into your eyes,

‘Okay.. okay I can do this!’ you say as you walk slightly behind Darren towards the them all.

They all greet Darren with hugs and hi fives and then they turn to you and you just smile goofily and say hi to everyone and they return your greeting with huge smiles and then Lea and Chris come up to you,

‘Hii! So Darren’s told us a lot about you!’ they say giving you a small hug,

‘Really..?’ you say with a surprised face.

‘Oh don’t worry it was all good!’ Chris replies with a laugh, ‘He also mentioned how you can sing amazingly well!’

‘Oh… I’m not that good!’ you say waving it off,

‘Oh really? Well we’ll have to see! You should sing some karaoke tonight.’ Lea says as they leave you pondering on the thought.

The rest of them all greet you and you start having drinks and getting really drunk after a while you go up to Darren,

‘Hi there… so you wanna dance?’ you say with a smirk,

‘I thought you’d never ask.’ He says with a laugh as you lead him to the dance floor.

You start doing really silly dances as you fall into each other’s arms and move together with the music. An I idea pops into your head as you start grinding up against Darren smirking up to him as you play with the curls by his neck, you move your face closer to his as your lips are now centimetres apart. You can feel his warm breath on yours as he start to move in closer you suddenly pull back and do a twirl but Darren catches your wrist and whispers in your ear,

‘Why don’t we just get out of here? You’re killing me here!’ he says as you see the longing in his eyes,

‘Actually I think I’m going to sing a song..’ you smirk as you drag him to the front, he just smiles and shakes his head at you,

‘This one’s for you.’ You whisper in his ear as you step up on stage and grab the microphone.

You start singing one of Darren’s favourite songs Shiver Shiver by Walk The Moon,

You grip your hands around my throat
You strip the buttons off my coat
I choose the methods I do best
Thump, thump, the thumping in your chest

When you are close to me I shiver
When you are close to me I shiver
When you are close to me I shiver
When you are close to me I shiver

As you sing the chorus you lean down to Darren and stare into his eyes as you pull him to the stage, you start dancing around him as you sing the next part,

You leave these marks up on my neck
And its still there... I know but I still check
Thump, thump, the thumping in my chest
As I lose the feeling in my fingertips

You can see Darren laughing as you both dance up on the stage and you hand a mic to him as you sing the rest of the song,

When you are close to me I shiver
When you are close to me I shiver
When you are close to me I shiver
When you are close to me I shiver

Owly, you're dear to me
Please check your clothing at the door
And who you're supposed to be
You always leave me wanting more
Owly, you're dear to me
Shall we get intimate again?
Owly, you're dear to me
Shall we get intimate again?

Shall we get intimate again?
I think so, I think so
Shall we get intimate again?
Owly, you're dear to me

When you are close to me I shiver
When you are close to me I shiver
When you are close to me I shiver
When you are close to me I shiver, shiver....

You both end up in the middle of the stage staring at each other, you’re both out of breath and then Darren moves in to kiss you but you realise everyone around you is cheering so you grab Darren’s hand and pull him into an exaggerated bow as you laugh at Darren,

‘I told you I would get to you tonight!’ you say,

‘Fine you win… but can we go now!’ Darren whines as he grabs you by the waist and nudges you to the exit.

‘Okay but first I need to say bye to Lea and Chris!’ you say walking over to them,

‘Hi! Soo… what did you think of me up there?’ you ask them as they look to you with excited faces,

‘You were amazing!’ Lea says looking astonished,

‘You and Darren were just perfect up there! I can see why he likes you.’ Chris says winking to you as you blush, ‘Just one tip though… be prepared for lots of Disney marathons and hyperness like all the time!’

‘Well thanks guys! I think we’re gonna go now… Darren’s so impatient!’ you say with a smirk, ‘See ya!’

‘Bye!’ they say as you rush to Darren’s side as you both leave,

‘So that was a long goodbye.. I told you you’d get along with them!’ he says opening your door for you,

‘Yeah.. err… they actually gave me tips on how to control you!’ you say laughing.

‘Oh they are getting it the next time I see them!’ Darren says as he drives to his place,

‘How come we’re going to yours?’ you ask confused.

‘Well it’s pretty late, it’s closer and…. You’ve been teasing me all night and I need to kiss you!’ he says resting his hand on your knee as you smile to yourself.

When you get back to his place you end up falling through his front door as you’re already kissing each other frantically. You love the feeling of Darren’s hands all over your body as you play with his curls, you find your way to his bedroom and you spend the rest of the night kissing and staring into each other’s eyes.

You end up sleeping round his place which you kinda freaked out about because you’d never really slept with anyone but it was nice and you found yourself cuddling into Darren’s warmth more and more as you fall asleep in his arms.
