Mine.......
Chapter Two


".......I'll be your fantasy......."

Jennifer stood watching Darren go off the stage, waving to the crowd.  She thought she got more than she could have dreamed possible.  Not only did she get to see Savage Garden, she got a private concert from Darren.  Again, she giggled to herself thinking, boy, do I have material for a fantasy............But why do I feel the way I do about him?

As she started to turn and walk toward the exit, she felt a hand on her arm.  She turned around and a man stood there she didn't know.  He said, "Hi, my name is Joe.  I work with Savage Garden."  The only reason she did not question it was that he had a thick Australian accent.  "Hi Joe", Jennifer said.  He shuffled his feet and looked up at her and said, "Well, this is going to sound daft, but would you mind coming with me?"  She laughed and said, "Well, sure, where?"  "Well, God, I hate doing this.  Darren wants to meet you", he blurted out.  "I feel like a pimp", he said under his breath.  Jennifer outwardly laughed, but inside she felt as if the whole world was on fire and she was standing in the middle of it.  There was ringing in her ears and it was suddenly very hot in there.  "What?", she feebly replied.  "Ah, well, it's like this.  Darren wanted to come out to talk to you, but he felt it would draw too much attention.  So, he asked me if I would come out and ask you if you would like to have dinner with him tonight."  Jennifer felt like she was going to scream - she certainly was inside her head.  Could anyone hear her, she wondered?

"I, I, I", was all that actually came out.  Joe said, "Aw, God, I know, it's weird and all, but he's really a nice guy.  Really.  And he pointed you out to me and said he would love to have dinner with you tonight.  I hope I am not scaring you".   "Well, no, just surprised", she laughed.  "Well, can you make it?  I understand if you say no".  "Well, ah, ah, sure, why not", she said.  She was screaming so loud in her head, she was sure everyone could hear her.  Do I look alright?  Oh, God.  "Ah, Joe.  Could I go to the Ladies Room first?"  "Sure, ah, ah, what is your name, anyway?"  "Oh", she laughed, "my name is Jennifer Wilson" and held out her hand.  "Hi Jennifer, I'm Joe McMahon.  I'll wait for you here".

Jennifer made her way to the Ladies Room and felt like her legs would not hold her up.  So many thoughts were racing through her head at the same time.  "I am going to have dinner with Darren Hayes".  She started laughing out loud and two people looked at her oddly.  She went into the Ladies Room and just stared at herself in the mirror.  She brushed her hair and fixed herself up a bit, put on a dab of perfume.  Then just started smiling at herself in the reflection.  Then she said out loud, "Now go meet your prince........" and turned to go meet Darren....................
