~I Want You~

I Want You

('I Want You': part 8)

By quarter to eight, they had all finished their desserts and coffee, and were ready to leave.
Oliver hugged Daniel. "it was great seeing you again. Take care now" Daniel smiled. "you too, Oliver."
Darren nodded. "Nice to see you, Oliver. Good luck finding a new job"
Oliver sighed lightly. "Thanks, Darren. You take care too, bye guys" he said, getting into his car; a jet black sunfire.
"Your brother has got himself a nice car" commented Darren, slightly envious.
Daniel nodded. "He sure does. I almost wish i had his car instead of mine"
Climbing into the passenger's seat, Darren closed the door. "Well, Danny, *this* car is surely nothing to complain about" he remarked, feeling the softness of the seat.
Daniel started the car and pulled out of the parking space. "I suppose not, i still love the color of it"
"Hm-mm, silver" replied Darren with a smile.
"So, am i dropping you off at home or are you coming back with me to my apartment?"
Darren looked at him quickly. "Uh, my house please. I think i'm gonna go to bed early tonight"
Dissapointed, Daniel nodded. "Alright"

On friday night as expected, the very first airing for I want you was played on the local music channel at 7:38pm.
Many people, including: Colby, Oliver, Darren, Daniel, the whole band of Savage Garden and a whole lot of fans were watching.
As the video was about to start, Daniel took a deep breath, preparing himself for the emotions that he knew he was soon going to experience.
Darren was sitting beside him on the couch with a glass of cola in his hand, his eyes glued on the tv screen, eagerly watching the beginning of the video.
The video began with Daniel at the keyboard, bobbing his head to the music as he always did.
"Hey Danny, you look great there" commented Darren, still watching the screen.
"Thanks" he mumbled nervously.
Then the lyrics began. Quick flashes of Darren appeared on the screen: Darren caressing the microphone stand, Darren running his fingers through his hair, Darren arching his left eyebrow, Darren hugging himself; all this as he mouthed the lyrics.
By now, Daniel's heart was beating so fast he thought he was going to sufficate.
An upclose scene of Darren appeared on the screen. Those huge blue eyes of his holding him in a hypnotizing stare, those soft full lips moving in time with the song lyrics so perfectly.
It was all enough to drive Daniel insane.
When the video ended, Daniel sighed, hoping that Darren wouldn't notice how conflustered he looked and felt.
"Well, that was cool, eh Daniel?" he asked, placing his empty glass on the coffee table.
"Oh yes, that was very......exciting to watch" he said quickly. Just then, the phone rang.
(Saved by the phone) he thought in relief.
