Okay here's chapter 4. I really liked writing this chapter so I hope you like it too! Thanks for reading and please review x x x

Darren had chosen an Italian restaurant that he knew had an extensive gluten-free menu, to accommodate Lauren.

They were seated immediately and Darren looked across at Lauren, noticing the flickering candle light reflected in her dark eyes. A band played softly in the background.

Her eyes met his, "So, these costumes that we're wearing tonight… I'm curious as to what you have in store for me."

Darren's eyes twinkled mischievously and Lauren's eyes widened, "I'm getting the feeling this show is going to be interesting both on stage and off, " She laughed.

The rest of the meal went amazingly. After dessert Darren excused himself to the bathroom. Lauren looked around, noticing for the first time a couple next to their table. The girl was telling a story animatedly and her date was nodding and laughing at all the right times, however what Lauren noticed was the way he was looking her. It was obvious he was crazy about her and she wondered if the girl realise how lucky she was.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you're all having a lovely evening. My name is Darren and I'm going to play a few tunes for you guys." Lauren spun around and her mouth dropped open when she saw Darren on the small stage, where the band had been only moments ago.

He smiled and looked down at her. He began strumming his guitar and Lauren watched as he transformed into a performer. He had an amaxing voice, she knew that much, but what made him stand out was that he sang from his soul with every word holding meaning.

"Alright, so this is my last song… yes I know I've only sung two other songs," he added, "but I'm on a date with a beautiful girl tonight …. so I better get back to her before she starts to wonder why I've been in the bathroom so long" he smiled and his eyes met Laurens and he started playing his guitar softly while still talking.

"Lo, I hope you like it…" he said with a note of sincerity in his voice.

"There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Darren stepped off the stage and weaved slowly around the tables, his eyes on Lauren. He stopped next to her.

Yes, you want her

(he nodded enthusiastically and Lauren blushed)

Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you, too

(He raised his eyebrows questioningly, and Lauren gave him a smile)

There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl…

You've got to kiss the girl
Why don't you kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl"

Lauren stood up and, leaning up kissed him softly on the lips. He responded immediately wrapping one around her waist, his other hand still held the guitar. They pulled apart and looked at each other.

"You never mentioned you played the guitar," Lauren accused mockingly.

"Well, then it wouldn't have been a surprise"


They left the restaurant hand in hand, heading back towards the theatre. Opening the door Lauren looked around at all the people in costumes. They headed to the bathrooms where Darren handed her a bag with a smile.

"See you on the other side."

Lauren opened the bag cautiously and pulled out a short black waitress dress along with a big brown wig. She peeked into the bag and saw the remains of her 'Magenta' outfit, "Well played Darren, well played."

She stepped out of the bathroom conscious of the shortness of the dress even though she knew there were people there dressed in far less.

She craned her neck trying to see over the heads of the crowd in an attempt to find Darren. She felt strong arms wrap around her waist and spin her around.

"Oh my God Darren," she exclaimed looking him up and down. He wasn't wearing much and Lauren had to admit she was more than a little turned on. "You know, you should have worn this to dinner… we would have matched," Lauren giggled pulling at his gold vest top and eyeing the matching gold shorts (that left little to the imagination.)

"Haha very funny, well you're looking very leggy yourself."

"You picked it out!" she cried indignantly giving him a playful smack on the arm as they joined the queue to get their seats.

Darren handed in their tickets and they were escorted right down to the front row. "I know some of the cast, so they hooked me up," Darren explained.

Lauren was beginning to get a bit nervous now, she knew the show had audience involvement and especially liked to pick-on what they called Rocky 'virgins'(someone who had never seen the show before.)

The lights went down…and a voice started singing,

"Michael Rennie was ill
The Day the Earth Stood Still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there
In silver underwear…"

She guessed she'd find out soon enough.


Lauren and Darren leaped up, applauding loudly, at the end of the show as the cast stepped forward for their final bow. The guy who played Rocky looked down at Lauren and gave her a flirty smile. Let's just say he had been very interested in involving Lauren during the show, even pulling her to her feet and placing her hands on his toned chest. Darren now glared at him with a stony expression on his face and grabbed Lauren, pulling her into his arms and pressing his lips to hers. Lauren snickered, "Someone's a little jealous."

"I just want to get my message across that you're taken," Darren whispered a little out of breath.

Lauren gasped, surprised, while in her head she was trying to process what he'd just said. Was he really implying what she thought he was?

Darren momentarily looked shocked himself at his own words before wrapping both his arms tighter around Lauren's waist and pulling her closer.

"Lauren Lopez… would you do me the honour of being my girlfriend? I know it's fast but…."

Lauren placed her finger to his lips, silencing him.

"How could I say no to such an offer?"

The audience was still going crazy as the shows music began playing loudly and the cast joined the crowd, enjoying the party that had sprung up. Darren lifted Lauren up and spun her around, his jealousy now forgotten as he held his new girlfriend in his arms.

He walked her home to her apartment, well carried her, as her feet had been sore from the heels. When they reached the door Darren looked down at her. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and her head was resting on his shoulder. She opened her eyes, realising that he'd stopped and their eyes locked.

"We're here," she said disappointed.

He held her for another few minutes, not wanting to let her go. "I better go in," Lauren finally voiced, "Julia can probably hear us." Darren sighed and gently put her down. He didn't remove his hands from her hips straight away, letting them linger there for a couple of seconds.

"Goodnight Darren, thank you for an amazing night. You really did 'rock my world'."

She kissed him softly on the lips, before opening the door behind her.

"Wow…Boyfriend," she smirked playfully as she stepped inside. "I like the sound of it," she said before closing the door, her cheeks still flushed from the kiss.

"I do too," Darren said to himself before turning and heading back towards the stairs. He passed two girls who eyed him incredulously and it was only now that he realised he was still in his gold Rocky attire. He prayed the guys would be asleep back at the apartment, knowing he'd never hear the end of it if they caught him.

Hey so I hope you liked it.

The songs used in this chapter were "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid and "Science fiction-Double Feature" from the Rocky Horror Show.
