the story of how my life became awesome

the story of how my life became awesome (26/?)

A/N: okay so I had so many and still have so many ideas for this but I feel like if I want to like ‘do’ them all i have to skip a little time so that’s what I did now so at the beginning it might be a little confusing but I promise it will work out. –xx-

Twenty-six.

I was sitting on the couch while watching some TV. Max was laying next to me on the couch and I was petting him, it was raining outside and I could hear the sound of the water drops falling on the rooftops. I was curled up under a blanket with some tea when the bell rang. Max started barking and I stood up to walk to the front door. I opened it and saw Darren standing on the doormat. He was soaking wet but still smiled. I stepped aside to let him in. ‘don’t you have a key?’ ‘Well I have one but someone left the key in the lock so I couldn’t open it’ he says. I giggle ‘I am sorry’ ‘well obviously you’re not but I can make you sorry’ he said and then hugged me. I felt his wet clothes press against me and he rubbed his wet hair in my face. When he pulled away I had wet spots on my sweater and I wiped my face with my sleeve. ‘Thanks that was really what I needed’ I say and give him a playful push against his shoulder. ‘Want some tea?’ ‘That’d be nice’ I walk to the kitchen and he follows me. I hear another bark and turn around to see Darren playing with Max. ‘Hey there buddy’ he says as Max jumps against Darren’s knees. I smile at him, he smiles back. ‘How was work?’ ‘Good’ he says and smiles while he’s still playing with Max. ‘We had fun’ ‘yeah like you normally don’t’ I say. I turned back to the counter when I heard the click of the kettle. I hand Darren his tea and we walk to the couch. He puts the tea on the table and sits down on the couch. ‘Dare’ ‘what?’ he says and looks innocent at me. ‘Oh you know’

‘Fine I’ll go change’ I smile ‘are you hungry? I can make something in the meantime if you’d like’ ‘that’d be great’ Darren says and walks to the bedroom after giving me a quick kiss. I go to the kitchen and make a pizza. I get my iPod and earphones from the table to listen to some music while I wait until the pizza is done, that’s why I don’t hear the phone ringing. Darren runs into the living room almost tripping over his pant which is only half on and he picks up the phone. ‘Darren’ he says as he picks up the phone. ‘hey Darren’ it’s Stella. Stella is one of my colleagues at work and we always work together on the cases. ‘can I speak to Bo for a moment? I need to ask if she can come to work tonight’ Stella says. Darren looks at me but I don’t see it since I’m turned away from him. ‘She’s sleeping’ Darren says. If I had heard that I don’t know what I would have done. Of course I understand why Darren would say that, I had been away much lately to work night shifts and every time Darren said he would wait for me but he just fell asleep. Not that I could blame him of course not. He was very busy himself with glee and actually he’s just always busy. ‘Sleeping?’ Stella asks a little concern sounding through her voice. ‘Is she okay?’ ‘Yes she’s just tired I guess’ he says. ‘Well that’s okay, greet her from me when she waked up’ ‘I will’ Darren says. ‘Bye Darren’ ‘bye Stella’ he puts the phone away and goes to the kitchen. He plops an earphone out of my ear and smiles. ‘Pizza huhm?’ he says. I turn around and smile at him. ‘Yes pizza’ I open the oven and put the pizza on a plate. I hold the plate with one hand and with my free hand I hold Darren’s and drag him to the living room with me. He sits down on the couch and I sit down next to him after handing him the plate. I get the blanket and drape it over us. Darren eats his pizza and I just snuggle against him. ‘Do you want a slice?’ he asks and looks at me. ‘no thanks’ I say and shake my head.

After Darren finished his pizza the phone rings. ‘I’ll get it’ I say and get up from the couch. ‘Bo’ I say as I pick up. ‘Hey there’ I hear Lauren’s voice saying and smile. ‘how are you?’ I ask. ‘Good good, you?’ she asks. ‘I’m great’ ‘good but that’s not why I called’ Lauren says. I smile. ‘Well what’s the real reason then?’ ‘Christmas’ she says. ‘chri-’ ‘shush’ she says ‘we, well Joey and Jaime and Brian and Julia and Joe and me were thinking that we could maybe celebrate Christmas together?’ she says. ‘I’d love that’ I say in an enthusiastic voice. ‘but well we wanted to keep it a surprise for Darren and you but then we were afraid that you maybe wouldn’t be home so…’ ‘That’s okay, wait a minute’ I say and walk to the hallway. ‘Okay we can talk again but else Darren would hear it I say. ‘But yes I’ll keep it a secret’ I say and smile. ‘Great, it’s going to be awesome’ Lauren says. ‘Yes it is’ ‘okay I’ll let you know abut the details but well I need to talk with everyone about it’ she says. ‘Sure I understand’ I say. ‘I am really excited’ I say and smile. ‘Me too’ Lauren says in her happy voice. ‘Well I’ll call you soon then’ she says. ‘Okay, Bye Lo’ ‘Bye Bo’ she says and hangs up. ‘Who was that?’ Darren asks as I come back in the living room. ‘Lauren’ I say. ‘And she didn’t even want to speak to me? She was my friend first you’re stealing my friends Bo’ he says and smiles. I sit back on the couch and rest my head on Darren chest. ‘Guess what?’ I say and smile. ‘What?’ he says. ‘I don’t have to work night shift today’ I say and smile brightly. Darren swallows ‘oh that’s em great’ he says. ‘Is there something wrong?’ I ask as this is an odd reaction. ‘Oh no nothing’ he says quickly. I look at him but he shakes his head. ‘Really there’s nothing’ ‘okay then’ I say not really convinced. ‘So what do you want to do then? We could watch a movie?’ he says. ‘We could do that’ I say and grin. ‘Well what do you want to do then?’ ‘This’ I say smiling as I press a kiss against Darren’s mouth. ‘well I like that’ he says after he softly pulled away to talk. ‘Oh do you?’ I say smiling. I rest my forehead against his and softly suck at Darren’s lower lip.  Darren moans softly in the back of his throat and I feel his tongue against my lips. He slipped his tongue inside and I felt it brush against my teeth. His tongue was soft, just as always. He leaned even closer to me and he slowly runs his hands up and down my thighs.  I lightly tug at his dark curls and smile against his lips. His respiration becomes quicker and he starts to breathe in short gasps. He slowly pulls his tongue back, licks his lips and smiles. ‘te quiero’ he says, his tongue rolls over his palate as he pronounces the ‘’r’’.  ‘Je t'aime’ I whisper in his ear and smile. Max suddenly runs into the room dragging his leash behind him. I sigh softly as I look at the clock. ‘you shouldn’t have taught him to get his leash’ Darren says and grins. ‘Now you have to walk him, outside, in the rain. He says and grins again. ‘while I am inside watching TV and eating skittles’ ‘oh I don’t think so, you’re coming with me’ I say as I stand up and drag Darren with me off the couch. ‘come one we can walk through central park, that makes it better right?’ I say and smile. ‘mmh a little’ he says. ‘Come on I’ll take an umbrella and we’ll be fine’ I say. I walk to the hallway and throw Darren’s jacket at him. He puts it on and I put one mine. I sit down on the ground and tie the laces from my blue all stars. ‘you’re wearing all starts while it’s raining and there puddles everywhere’ Darren says. ‘yes so?’ I say obviously not understanding what he is trying to say.

‘you’ll get wet then’ he says as he shrugs. ‘I’ll get wet anyway’ I say and stand up again. ‘well okay then’ he says and smiles. ‘I was just trying to help’ he says as he looks at me. ‘I know, I’m sorry’ I say and bite my lip. ‘it’s okay’ he says. I open the front door and Max runs outside of the apartment. ‘Max’ I yell. As we turn the corner I see him sitting in front of the elevator and smile. Darren presses the button and we here a ‘’pling’’ when the doors open. I kiss Darren’s cheek and he goes in the elevator with Max. I walk to the stairs. I always take the stairs, I’m afraid of elevators. I know how stupid it’s sounds but it’s the truth and this is just our routine. I take the stairs I always do that, and the best part of it is that I am always down earlier than them.  I wait in front of the elevator and Darren and Max walk out as soon as the doors open again. We walk out of the building and I feel the raindrops land on my head. I want to open the umbrella but Darren takes it out of my hands. ‘you said you were going to get wet anyway, I want to be sure’ he says and smiles. ‘well okay then’ after only a few minutes we’re both soaking wet and Max obviously enjoins himself as he runs through the puddles and then shakes his wet fur in front of us. It starts raining even harder then it already did and Darren smiles. ‘I feel like this is a good occasion for a song’ he says and laughs. ‘oh is it?’ I say but I already know where this is going as Darren starts to sing.

I'm singing in the rain

Just singing in the rain

What a glorious feelin'

I'm happy again

I'm laughing at clouds

So dark up above

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase

Everyone from the place

Come on with the rain

I've a smile on my face

I walk down the lane

With a happy refrain

Just singin',

Singin' in the rain

He sings while dancing around me and smiling. I shake my head but smile ‘you goober’ I say and smile. ‘but you love me’ he says and grins. ‘yes yes I do’ I say and smile.

‘I’ll dry Max’ I say as we come back inside our apartment. ‘Great, love you’ he says and smiles. ‘you’re just saying that be-’ I’m interrupted by a kiss and smile. ‘Okay, okay’ I say. I’ll go change in dry clothes, for the second time today’ he says. ‘Well that’s not my fault’ I say and grin. ‘true’ he says and then walks away to the bedroom. I take Max to the bathroom and search for an old towel to dry Max with. I bend down to dry his fur, normally it’s shiny and it looks almost like a sort of gold but now it’s just wet. Max jumps on me and licks my face. I wipe it off with my sleeve but now my face is even wetter. ‘Great thanks’ I whisper but as I look at his puppy eyes I just smile. ‘so that’s done’ I say and stand up. I go to the bedroom and see Darren laying on the bed in a black shirt and sweatpants his hair still wet. I search the closest for my sweater. ‘he’s in the wash machine’ Darren says.  I sigh softly ‘great’. Darren stand up from the bed and opens his side of the closet. ‘here’ he says as he hands me a blue sweater with yellow letters that read ‘’university of Michigan’’. ‘thanks’ I say. I pull off my wet shirt and throw it on the ground. I shiver as I feel the cold air on my skin. I’m standing in the middle of the room in my bra and wet jeans. Darren smiles as he looks at me. ‘you really are beautiful’ he says. ‘just because I’m in my bra?’ I say teasingly. ‘you know I didn’t mean it like that’ Darren says as he didn’t hear the playful tone in my voice. ‘of course I know that, but now if you don’t mind I put on a sweater, it’s quite cold’ I say and quickly pull the sweater over my head. I sit down on the edge of the bed and pull of my wet jeans. It sticks on my skin and I sigh relived as it’s finally out. I put on some shorts and lay down under the covers. Darren presses with his belly against my back and he wraps his arms around my waist. ‘love you’ he whispers. ‘Love you too’ I say and smile as I turn off the light. I yawn and close my eyes. ‘night sweetheart’ he whispers. ‘Night’
