I woke up pretty satisfied with the events that had occurred last night. After the movie, we were all pretty tired so we decided to call it a night. Before leaving I exchanged numbers with all 3 guys. I had to admit it was a pretty good night, especially when you have a beautiful, muscular arm around your shoulders. That right, he didn't move it the whole movie. I do my usual morning routine and get to my calculus class. In the middle of the boring lecture my cell phone screen lit up.
Text Message from Darren: Hey!
Me: Hello
Darren: How are you this wonderful morning?
Me: Stuck in a boring calculus class. U?
Darren: Oooooo don't say that math is FUN! All those big numbers and complicated word problems are a joy to solve.
Me: You don't even believe that...
Darren: Yeah, you're right...I'm just pitying you.
Me: Wow thanks
Darren: No prob ;)
Anyway I wanted to know if you were free tonight?
Me: Yeah I am why?
Darren: Well I wanted to know if you wanted to come watch me play?
Me: Oooo I'm interested
Darren: So is that a yes?
Me: Yup. Just to let you know my expectations are pretty high.
Darren: Well then, I hope I don't let you down
Me: We will see. So when and where.
Darren: Well Joe and Sami are going too. Joe said he could pick you up when he picks up Sami if you wanted.
Me: Awesome. I'll ask Sami for the details.
Darren: Sound good... Cant wait to see you there :)
Me: See you later!
Oh God, I just made plans with Darren. Is this a date? No, it cant be. Sami and Joe are going with me so we wont be alone. Oh shit, but they are a couple. What does this mean? Does he like me because I surely like him...as a friend. Yes, he is my friend... that has beautiful hazel eyes that just make you melt every time you look into them and that gorgeous smile that makes his lips look even more irresistible and his hair is jus- SNAP OUT OF IT! He is your friend. You are going to go watch him play with other friends. Nothing else.
After a long day of classes you head back to your dorm where you find Sami laying on your bed.
"Hey Sam" you said, putting your bag down.
"Hey Al. Whatcha doing?"
"I've been staring at your ceiling for the past hour. The more you look at it the more objects you find. I've found a flower and like 3 bunnies."
"You and your imagination..."
" That why I'm majoring in art. Duh. Anyway, you are going with us right?"
" To watch Darren play?"
"Yeah"
"Yup I am. What time is Joe picking is up"
"In like 30 minutes so you better get dressed. I'm here to give you a second opinion on what you choose. Your welcome."
" Umm you definitely haven't done this before. I though you liked the way I dress."
" I do, but this is a special occasion. You have to impress him."
"Who?"
"Darren that's who" Sami said looking at me with a small smirk on her face. Well Shit, it was that obvious huh?
" I have no idea what you are talking about" I responded while turning towards my closet. The expression on my face would have given me up in second.
" Oh please Al! You cant fool me. I totally saw the way you were looking at him."
" I wasn't looking at him in anyway"
" Yeah right." Sami stood up and went to my side. "You remind me of someone my ass! You were just taking that time to check him out."
"Shut up Sam. Darren is my friend now. I'm going to support him as a friend like you and Joe."
"Yeah but Joe and I weren't the ones in Darren's arms last night..."
"Sami! Shut up and help me pick out something."
"Whatever you say future Mrs. Criss."
"I hate you"
"Aww I love you too!"

We got to the restaurant a and sat at a table near the front of the small stage. While we waited for Darren to go on we got some appetizers that were mostly consumed by Joe. Finally, I saw an adorable head of curls heading towards the stage. As soon as he sat down and adjusted his mic, he look through the crowd until he found our table. He looked at me and smiled before speaking.
"Hello everyone, I'm Darren Criss and I will be your entertainment for tonight."
I was a bit startled by the amount of applause that came from behind me. I hadn't really realized the huge crowd that had gathered after we came in. Some even had shirts and posters with Darren's name and face plastered on them.
"Well this first song is by the amazing Elton John himself, so I hope I'll do it justice."
He began started playing the intro to "Your Song" on his guitar a huge smile spread across my lips. That song was my favorite song in the whole wide world. I knew every verse and never got tired of it even though I had listened to it a million times. He finally opened his mouth to sing the first verse and my eyes almost popped out of your head. His voice was pure gold. I just starred up at him in awe while he sang his own version of "Your Song" which was just beautiful. While singing the chorus he looked me and I quickly snapped my jaw shut and smiled at him.
"I hope you don't mind, that I put down in words. How wonderful life is while your in my world." he finished and everyone broke out into applause.
"Thanks everyone. Now I always play something Disney because it one of the best things created, but this one specifically goes out to a Disney lover out in the audience tonight." he says winking at you. Holy crap, my face is getting red... What the hell do I do?! Sam nudged my side, wagging her eyebrows up and down.
"Look at this stuff isn't it neat?"
Does Darren have my playlist or is he just freaking psychic!? He is now singing one of my favorite Disney songs! AHHHHHH why? Everything he does make me like him even more. As a friend. I should just get that tattooed somewhere as a reminder.
"I wanna be where the people are"
It was just amazing how into the song he was. Again his rendition of the song on the acoustic was genius. He would make these weird but cute faces every time he would go high which were just priceless. This man was something.
"Part of your world."
