Paige & Darren Private one-on-one (@Typhoon1912)

Darren smiled and turned his attention to the screen as the movie began.

Paige's wide eyes took in the movie. She was waiting for any of her favorites to come out.

Darren smiled at Paige’s excitement. He held her hand a little tighter, this was his.

Paige squeezed his hand tightly for most of the beginning scene. She felt like she couldn't breathe - in a kind of good way…?

He missed a lot of the first scene, despite what Paige thought, she really was pretty.

Paige's clear, blue eyes were wide. She was loving every moment of the movie, and her fingers interlaced with Darren's…

Darren looked over to her and whispered, "I'm gonna go get some food, do you want anything?"

Paige cocked her head to the side. "Now?" she hissed softly.

(Lol… Hi there)

He laughed a little, "That was the plan, yeah. Is there a problem?"

(Trying to respond to 10 other conversations at once at 11:00 at night, yes, hi)

"No problem," Paige's words were faint. She hated being that person at the movies.

(Lol it all good!)

Darren nodded and walked out quickly so he was out of people’s way. He was gone for a long time. Longer then it takes to get food. He came back with a large bag of popcorn and a large drink placing it between them.

"What took you so long?" Paige asked quietly. "I was getting worried."

“Sorry,” he sat back down with a smile. “Long line,” in reality he was pacing nervously, he was no good with dates and this felt like one.

"Really?" Paige didn't need to say any more to express her disbelieving tone.

He nodded but didn’t look in her eyes, “Yeah. Freakishly long,”

Paige drew her face close to his so she didn't have to speak as loud and disruptively. "Now, if there is one thing that I hate in this world, it is liars, Darren, so please tell me the truth," she murmured into Darren's ear.

He laughed almost nervously, she could see right through him. “It was nothing,” he whispered back. Could he tell her what he was doing? Seemed embarrassing.

Paige frowned. "Please stop. The only thing I hate more than liars is liars who think that I am genuinely stupid enough to believe their lies. What were you doing?"

He looked her in the eyes and sighed, “ I was just, Uhh, calming down I guess. Needed some time,”

"Why?"

He laughed nervously, “I don’t know what this is to you but it really feels like a date. One I wasn’t prepared for so, uhhh you make me a little nervous,”

Paige was honestly shocked. "I-I do?"

He grabbed her hand, “Your beautiful and kind and caring and I’m… im me, so yeah a little,”

Paige had never blushed harder. "No, you- I- we-"

“And you stutter when your nervous so I’m glad I have the same effect on you. I’m maybe a little better at hiding it though,” he winked.

Paige bit her lip. She silently reprimanded herself for being so… stuttery. "So, the feeling is mutual then," she replied. She hadn't quite decided if she wanted to retreat yet, so their faces were still very close. Noticing this, she felt her cheeks warm again.

He smiled, “Guess so,” seconds later their lips were brushing together.

Paige closed her eyes and lightly entered the kiss. The movie was tuned out.

He laughed a little and deepened the kiss, sliding a hand behind her head.
