Darren moved over to his next date, Imogen Badcocke. He chuckled a little at the surname and looked up from his list of names to see where the table number was. He spotted a cute, little blonde sitting in a navy blue dress with a white ruffle around the neck. He could see her legs crossed beneath the table and saw that they pretty much didn’t seem to end. He gulped a little and made his way over. He actually felt a little nervous, this girl was seriously cute and he wasn’t used to feeling nervous. Why the hell did he feel nervous? 

Imogen looked up and spotted a very tall, bearded gentleman making his way towards her table. He’d arrived just before her, if she recalled correctly, and he was definitely a looker. She could tell he took care of himself just by the way he walked. She stood up and held a hand out to him to shake it. [color=FF7F50]"Hiya, it’s me, Imogen."[/color] She smiled a little at the dumb reference to one of her favourite childhood games and Darren snorted with laughter as he shook her hand firmly. [color=4169E1]"Baldur’s Gate fan, eh? Least I know you’re not too young for me by that reference. I’m Darren. It is most definitely a pleasure to meet you."[/color]

They both sat down in their chairs and looked across the table to each other nervously. There was definitely an initial attraction between the two. They smiled to each other and waited for the bell to ring. The waiter walked over and offered them some drinks.

[color=4169E1]"I’ll take a glass of red wine please."[/color]
[color=FF7F50]"I’ll take a glass of red wine please."[/color]

They both looked to each other and laughed heartily as the waiter looked between the two and began to pour them each a glass of red wine. Moving away from the table, the waiter shook his head and moved onto the next table. The bell rang and Darren contained his laughter long enough to squeeze a question out. 

[color=4169E1]"So, besides being a fan of old computer games and having good taste in drinks, what is a beautiful girl like you doing in a place like this?"[/color] Imogen let her laughter abate and took a small sip of her glass of wine and licked her lips lightly to catch the drops that her mouth had missed.

[color=FF7F50]"Well I’m here t’get m’parents off m’back ‘bout gettin’ a fella truth be told. What ‘bout ya?"[/color] She gently placed her glass down and leaned forward on the table, her chin resting in her palms as she watched her newest date. [color=4169E1]"Well I’m here to try and find someone that is pretty much it. It’s been six years since I last had anything serious so that’s probably as good a reason as any to try more extreme measures."[/color] He gave Imogen a dazzling smile and took a sip of his own drink before setting it back down, his fingers playing with the stem of the glass.

[color=4169E1]"So Imogen, where are you from? Your accent sounds… Irish? I think."[/color] 

[color=FF7F50]"Correct, sir. I am from a small town called Carrigower but you won’t know where that is unless you’re from me homeland. What about ya? I daren’t try t’guess where you’re from."[/color]  Imogen giggled and sipped from her glass.

[color=4169E1]"I’m from the beautiful vistas of Poulsbo in Washington State. I love the rainy, mountain air.”[/color] He held his arms out and took in a deep breath then coughed as he realised he’d breathed in too much, too fast. [color=4169E1]“Oh… wow… sorry about that."[/color] He pounded his fist on his chest and cleared his throat before grabbing is drink and taking a mouthful.

Imogen let out a light chuckle and considered the man across from her. He was attractive, seemed sweet and was definitely flattering. [color=FF7F50]"So what do ya do for a livin’, Darren?"[/color]

[color=4169E1]"Well I’m a personal trainer and physical therapist. I tend to lose myself in my work but since it helps others, I’m okay with it. What about you? Surely you do something equally interesting as yourself?"[/color] He grinned and leaned back in his chair, his right arm resting over the back of it as he watched her.

Tucking her hair behind her ears, Imogen pursed her lips and smiled. [color=FF7F50]"Actually I’m a single mother. I have two beautiful lil twin girls. They’re called Jenna and Jemma."[/color] She slipped her picture of her girls from her purse and slid it across the table to Darren. He picked it up and smiled at the image. [color=4169E1]"They’re gorgeous, just like their mommy."[/color] He handed the image back and his fingers brushed against hers. 

Imogen’s face exploded in heat and she chewed the inside of her cheek as she took the photograph back from her date. She carefully placed it back in her bag as she swallowed and took another drink before continuing. [color=FF7F50]"But besides m’two girls, I work part time as a waitress. So nothin’ quite as interestin’ as yaself."[/color] She lightly shrugged her shoulders and gave a small smile.

[color=4169E1]"Nah, each to their own. We aren’t all meant to be the same thing. That’s why we’re all different, right?"[/color] He sat forward and placed his hands on the table and watched her. She really was pretty and she seemed sweet and interesting too. This was a far better date than his last, Imogen at least asked questions about him instead of it being very one sided like it had been with Mauriah.

[color=FF7F50]"That's true. Fair play, bud, fair play. So... what do ya do for fun?"[/color] Imogen crossed her legs the other way and leaned forward on her knees as she listened in to Darren's reply.

[color=4169E1]"Well I love listening to music and do a lot of hiking, water sports, sports, running... anything athletic you'll probably find me trying it out. And you?"[/color]

[color=ff7f50]"Well I love hikin' too when I get the chance! It's grand doin' it while listenin' to music. Then ya can stand at the top o' a mountain and just air guitar your heart out!"[/color] She grinned like a cat that had got the cream and blushed as she admitted what she did on her hikes.

Darren laughed and sat forward further, clapping his hands together. [color=4169E1]"That's brilliant! Let me guess, you do something like this..."[/color] Darren then stood up and began to do air guitar right there in the middle of the main room, to absolutely no music that made sense. Imogen snorted with laughter and covered her mouth with her hand as she let it all out. [color=ff7f50]"That's exactly what I do!"[/color]

Grinning at how much he'd managed to entertain Imogen, Darren was pleased as punch with himself and sat down, chuckling away with her and then felt his stomach drop as he heard the bell ringing. [color=4169E1]"Damn, that's a shame. I was enjoying myself."[/color]

Imogen nodded and smiled brightly at Darren. [color=ff7f50]"Me too. It was lovely t'meet ya Darren. We'll talk soon?"[/color] She held her hand out to shake Darren's hand and he gently took hers and kissed the back of it, giving her a little wink as he did so. [color=4169E1]"Definitely. Pleasure, Miss Badcocke. Hell of a name by the way..."[/color] He smirked at her and then waved before making his way to his next date for the evening.

Imogen sat with a minor blush on her face and pursed her lips as she smiled to herself.[hr]
