Here I am again guys! Not much to say about this chapter except Darren and Emma have a conversation about Darren visiting. Enjoy guys.
(DPOV)
2 weeks after my dinner with Chris I'm sitting on my balcony with a cup of coffee in one hand and a copy of To Kill A Mocking Bird in the other. I had my phone on my coffee table that I had out there, Chris's idea. Debating whether or not I should call Emma about visiting her. I didn't want to be a pain in the ass or seem needy but, fuck I missed her.
Get it together Darren; it's just Emma I told myself. I'm sure she misses you just as much as you miss her. But what if she doesn't? What if she's not even thinking about me? Stop it! I scolded myself. Be a man and just call her already. I took a deep breath grabbed my phone off the coffee table and dialed her number. I fiddled with my thumbs anxiously waiting for her to pick up.
I rolled over in bed groaning at the annoying buzzing sound I was hearing in my ear. I sighed groping blindly for my phone on my nightstand. Once I finally grabbed it I put on my glasses. I looked at my phone and saw Darren was calling. I froze. I couldn't believe he was calling. We've only ever texted before. With a shaking hand I slid my thumb across the screen to answer the call.
"Hello?" I said a little shaky.
"Emma? It's Darren" He sounded a bit nervous.
"Hey Darren! What's up?" I said with a smile in my voice. All of my nerves vanished upon hearing the sound of his voice.
"Nothing really I was just calling because I missed you and I have a break coming up."
"Oh, that's awesome! Much needed I'm sure"
Darren laughs on the other end of the phone and I get butterflies in my stomach.
"Yeah it is definitely needed. I was actually wondering if I could come up and visit."
I'm shocked. He wants to come visit me? What? I started to scream inside my head until I realized I hadn't said anything yet and he was probably freaking out.
I cleared my throat. "Sorry, yeah that would be great! I missed you too Dar" I smiled.
"Really?" I could hear the unease in his voice.
I laughed wondering how this man could be so skeptical of what my friendship with him meant to me. Yet still be incredibly adorable at the same time. I shook my head before answering him.
"Yes Darren, really. I would love for you to come visit me on your break." I smiled waiting for his response.
"Yeah!" I can totally picture him fist pumping in the air. I burst out laughing because that is so totally him
"Sorry. I mean that's awesome!" Darren laughed nervously.
I shook my head smiling. This man was incredible.
"Oh, Darren" I smiled shaking my head needing to see him as soon as possible.
"What?" Darren sounded adorably confused and my heart swelled.
"Nothing. Do you know when your break is?"
"In about 2 weeks I think but you never know with Glee. Things can always change."
"Yeah you're constantly changing schedules. I miss you Dar" I sighed.
"I miss you too, Em, so much." As soon as he said that I felt like my face was going to split in two at how much I was smiling.
"Aww. Listen Dar I gotta go and get ready for the day."
"Oh ok did I wake you up?"
"Kinda but it's totally fine. I wouldn't mind being woken up by your voice everyday."
What the fuck? Why the hell did I just say that? I started to panic thinking that I had most definitely scared Darren off even though it was the truth, when I heard him chuckling on the other line,
"I will go and record my voice for you right now." I could hear the smile and pure amusement in his voice as he said that.
I sighed in relief and laughed a little.
"As sweet as that is Dar, I don't need a recording of your voice. It would actually be kinda creepy."
Darren laughed for a good minute.
"You're right it is creepy. I'm keeping you from starting your day aren't I?"
"Its fine but I really do need to get going/"
"Ok. I'll talk to you later Em."
"Bye Dar."
I smiled hanging up the phone. I sat up inched myself to the edge of my bed and grabbed onto the armrest of my wheelchair and pulled myself up and got myself into my chair. After I drove myself to my closet got my clothes out and got myself dressed I sat for a minute debating whether or not to call my best friend Kelsey.
After a few minutes of debating I picked up my phone and dialed her number. On the third ring she answered.
"Hello?" I heard her say.
"Hey Kels."
"Hey Em what's up?"
"Oh my god I've had the craziest month of my life."
"Why because of meeting the Glee cast and Darren?"
"Yeah I literally just got off thee phone with Darren."
"Wow, what happened?"
I told her everything from meeting the Glee cast for the first time and how adorable Darren had been acting and how we hit it off imminently hit it off, to the whole phone conversation.
"Whoa, sounds like you guys had some major flirting going on."
"Oh, shut up…Really?"
"Yeah girl!"
I laughed smiling to myself. I couldn't wait for Darren to get here.
