"Hi Joe.  Sorry to keep you waiting".  "No problem, it's this way",  he said pointing to an area somewhat offstage.  Her heart was pounding in her chest and she felt dizzy.  Was she really going to meet Darren and then have dinner with him?

As they are walking along, they are passing many people, all laughing and talking.  She is looking back and forth wondering when she will see his face.  She passes Anna Maria and looks back at her - even prettier in person.  Then she hears a voice - "Yeah, well, it was  great, y'know."  It's HIM.  Her heart is fluttering a mile a minute.  She hears him, but does not see him yet.  Then.......

She sees him.  He has changed into a blue shirt and is sitting on the edge of a table sipping a bottle of water.  The top three buttons of his shirt undone.   "Darren.......", she thinks.  He looks up and gives her that sexy Darren smile.  "Hello there".  She nervously says "Hello Darren".  He extends his hand and she grasps it, feeling electricity shoot up her arm.  "Hello, I'm Darren Hayes..." and he laughs.  "But you already knew that".  She smiles and cannot BELIEVE she is standing there.  "Hi, I'm Jennifer Wilson".  "Jennifer.....", he says slowly, as if considering the name.  "Lovely to meet you".  "I'd like you to meet Daniel Jones".  "Dan, come meet Jennifer".  Dan extends his hand also, "Hi, I'm Dan, the OTHER one" and laughs.  She smiles and says "It's wonderful to meet you".

Darren stands right next to her and says softly near her ear, "Are you free to have dinner with me tonight?"  His voice, THAT VOICE, that close to her ear has shot a tingle straight through her body, not the least of which is between her legs.  She turns to look at him and he is so close to her face, their lips are only an inch apart.  She looks right into his magnificent eyes, then down at his gorgeous sexy captivating mouth and whispers, "yes......".  He smiles and says, "OK, is there anywhere you would like to go"?  She thinks, "straight into your pants", but says "anywhere you like".   "It's so crowded around here and so many people.  Would you mind if we went to the hotel we're all staying in?"  Hearing that beautiful Aussie accent talking that close to her is almost more than she can stand.  "No, that's fine, Daz, I mean Darren", she said quickly.  He smiles that intoxicating smile and says, "Aw, that's OK, you can call me Daz.  Should I call you Jenny?"  Jennifer answers, all the while staring into his eyes, then his mouth, then his eyes again, "you can call me whatever you like.........Daz".   He gives her one of his best smiles and says "Alright, Jen, let's go to dinner."

Darren bid everyone good night and they go out a side exit to the theater.  There is a car waiting and they get in the back.  She is still completely amazed and has to pinch herself that this is real.  "Where to, Mr. Hayes"?, asks the driver.  "To the hotel, please, Tom.  Thanks, mate."

"Soooooo, Jen.   Tell me, were you surprised I asked you to dinner"?   She lets out a small laugh and says, "Well, of course, who would expect anything like this?"  Darren slides a little closer to her and says, "Well, you must have seen me looking at you from the stage".   Jennifer  blushes a bit and says, "Well, yes, I did, but if I wasn't looking at YOU, I wouldn't have seen, would I?"  He smiles a very slow sexy smile at her and reaches over to brush some hair back from her face.  She suddenly thinks to herself, "we are not going to have any dinner tonight" and smiles.......................

Darren is looking in to her eyes and is thinking, "I want this woman so much.   I wonder what she tastes like?"
