5. All four of us went out for dinner, and it was a nice time. Darrell and I talked and we had a wonderful conversation. Darien and Serena barely even said anything to us. Darrell and I had so much in common. Then he mentioned the name of one of his friends, Michael.

Was this my ex? No, it couldn't be. I knew he could tell something was wrong with me. I began to worry and couldn't concentrate on Darrell.

"Ami, are you alright? I feel as though I did something wrong." Darrell said in his wonderful, smooth voice. I nodded.

"Yeah, I just don't feel well. I must've eaten something bad." I smiled and tried to forget Michael. I knew he wanted me to worry and be scared. I wanted to show him that I was fine.

So the night went on and I actually had fun. Darrell and I made plans to meet each other a few nights later. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and told him I would see him Monday.

"Did you have tonight with Darrell?" Serena said as she winked at me. I began to blush, but I nodded. "He sure seemed like a nice guy." she added as we sat on the couch.

"Ugh, he is. I didn't think there was a guy like him so close." I gave a dreamy sigh. "He's perfect, Serena. I think I'm in love." Serena giggled. "What? Oh, did that sound lame?" she nodded.

"To tell you the truth," she began in a whisper. I nodded and urged her to tell me more. "I knew there was something between Darien and I the first time I saw him." she smiled and we both ended up laughing with each other a minute later.
