30. Date Between Us

"Date someone who is home and adventure all at once."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Parker. I will bring Brooke home on time," Darren smiled at my mom while I slipped into my three inch heels. It looked good on my light pink dress which had a thin golden belt around my waist. It ended a little above my knees. I had left my hair in its usual wavy locks and had applied minimal makeup.

"Good. Have fun you two!" My mom squealed, more excited about me going on my first date, than I was myself.

I gave her a tight lipped smile.

Darren got here an hour ago. My mom left no stone unturned to interrogate the hell out of Darren. She was quite shocked when she heard that I was going on a date. After the interrogation, she clicked a few dozen pictures of us, despite me whining about us getting late.

And now we were finally free.

Darren opened his car door for me and I threw him a smile before getting in. He jogged around the car and opened the driver's door before getting in.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I saw him grin at me.

"The Grand Paradise," He said, before starting up the car.

"A dinner date. Cool."

The Grand Paradise was a fine dine restaurant, just a fifteen minutes drive away from my house.

"So Brooke, tell me about yourself," Darren said, glancing at me from the corner of his eyes.

"What's there to know​ about me?" I asked, looking out the window.

"What's there to not know about you?" He countered. "Let's start with the simple things. Like your favourites," He suggested.

"Okay. My favourite song is by Attention by Charlie Puth. My favourite band is One Direction. Five Seconds of Summer are cool too but I'm more of a Directioner. I don't like Harry Potter, Twilight is my favourite. I like vanilla flavour. My brother and mom always fight with me about which is the best flavour. For me, it's vanilla, my mom likes chocolate, Ryan likes strawberry. I love Nutella, who doesn't? I-"

"I don't," Darren said, cutting me off.

"What?"

"I don't like Nutella."

"Are you serious?" I asked, eyeing him incredulously.

"No, I'm Darren. And I don't like Sirius Black, the dude's creepy."

I just gave him a blank stare. "Who is Sirius Black?" I asked, scrunching my brows up in confusion. "Who would have that sort of a name?"

"He's in Harry Potter," He said, shaking his head at me. "You wouldn't know."

"Oh," I said. I only watched the first movie of the series and I didn't like it. So I didn't watch it's subsequent parts.

"Now continue."

"Right. My favourite book is The Fault in our Stars by John Green. My favourite movie series is The Lord Of The Rings."

"It's also my little sister's favourite. I find it a bit lame though."

I gasped, covering my mouth with my hands, "It's not lame!"

"Hey, that was just my personal opinion. Don't kill me."
