Even more weeks later.....
"Come with me, Quinn," Darren says, smiling like always. "I have a surprise for you."
There isn' t any performances today, but he has brought me to the theatre.
"What are you doing, Darren?" I ask.
He answers, "It is a suprise, Q."
We'd been taking it slow for a while now. I feel ready to become his girlfriend, if that's what he desires.
Then we're on the stage and the piano is right in the middle of it.
"Are we allowed to be here?" I ask.
Darren still smiling replies, "I pulled a few strings."
I lean by the piano, while Darren sits to play.
He begins to sing "Hey Soul Sister", dedicated to me. I move to the beat I am feeling in my bones. Darren smiles at me. I am blushing and I don't care anymore. I am in love with him.
When he finishes, I clap, and he walks over to me.
" Quinn, a couple weeks ago, I really liked you...Now I am in love with you!" Darren gets on one knee.
"Woah! Are you proposing? We barely know each other!" I exclaim in exasperation.
Darren replies , "No! No! Maybe that will be soon enough...I wanted this to be more elaborate than just simply asking you to be my girlfriend."
I then ask, "How do you mean, Darren?"
He reaches into his jean pocket and grabs a small Tiffany™ box.
It reveals, within it, a golden ring with a heart-shaped diamond in its center.
"I want to give you this promise ring, so you can remember this oath I only divulge to you, Quinn....I promise that you will be my one and only and I hope I am your one and only goofball of a boyfriend...If you'll take me...I promise to love you each day...Hopefully forever...I swear that I won't be a slut like your last boyfriend...And finally, I desire for you to be my muse, every time I sing with you, I find one more reason to be into music...I knew when we sang our first duet that something felt different...Quinn Estell, will you be my girlfriend?"
I first ask, "Where are we? The 1960s?"
Darren then says, "Answer me, Q! Yes or no?"
"Darren, you should know that it is heck yes!" I exclaim.
He takes the ring from its box and gingerly slips it onto my ring finger. It is official, I'm Darren's girlfriend! Even in my wildest dreams, I didn't fathom this occuring. Not when I was a new Gleek (Still am and always will be) did I ever see this happening. It is and it did. I admire the ring, finally noticing the cursive inscription.
It declares, Singing Together 4-ever, D.C.Q.E.
I place my ringless hand to my mouth. I starting feeling tears sting my eyes. I mostly cry to joy these days. Darren puts a hand on my shoulder. I remove the hand from my lips.
"Thank you, it's so gorgeous...I feel as if I were getting married to you," I say.
Darren then leans in close, going in for a kiss. This time, unlike all the others outside the show, I didn't pull away. I follow his lead and kiss him back. I am ready now to share a real kiss with Darren. This is where this story started but it isn't where it ends. Our passions bursting. My world gained one more person. Now at population two.
Darren wraps his arms around my waist and I put mine on his neck. My most deepest first kiss with someone ever. I guess we both waited too long and both our desires are being granted.
By now, it had become my longest kiss. One moment we break apart and then we go back to tongue kissing. We both keep gasping for breath in between kisses. I think I'll die of suffocation before this kiss is over with. When we break apart for the fifth time, it ends.
"C'mon let's sing!" I exclaim.
"Don't go breaking my heart after this, Quinn," Darren grins.
We sit next to each other on the bench before the piano, first playfully nudging each other. Then Darren plays the first few notes of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". I start the song off. (Italics=Quinn, Bold=Darren, Both= Darren and Quinn)
Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Well honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kindDon't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Honey when you knocked on my door
I gave you my keyWoohoo! Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart
Ohh woah!So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heartAnd nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can make itSo don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks into flame
I got your heart in my sights(Back to chorus)
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart(Again chorus, but add on two " I gave you my heart" lyrics... The first sang by Darren and the second by Quinn)
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
HeartDon't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heartDon't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
(Repeat)(Quinn and Darren add a "don't go breaking my heart" and sing it as a slow ending duet)
At the conclusion, Darren kisses my forehead.
"You better not go breaking my heart, Darren," I say smiling.
Darren leans in for another kiss while saying, "I couldn't even if I tried, Quinn."
That is where this chapter comes to a close, with Darren and myself kissing before the piano.
