Ch. 4: Love Smells Like Pizza

Lauren & Derrick had a dream first date! Woohoo! Derrick was *shocked*, in a good way. They had fun at dinner & dancing afterward. Derrick found Lauren to be a sweetheart and a great conversationalist. Look at that, he's finally smiling! LOL


He received a present from Lauren the next night. She sneaked this snazzy stereo in while he was taking a shower. Derrick loved the stereo, but he was still missing some essential household items. So he sold the stereo to buy a fridge and a TV.


"Hey, that's my neighbor Doremie on the news. I didn't know she was a Hall of Famer! I really should start watching the Yummy Channel sometime soon so I can cook Lauren that salmon dish that she loves. I hope she doesn't feel bad that I sold the stereo."


Nah, she didn't mind at all. She just gave him a vase full of beautiful red roses. They seem to keep having fun with each other. Derrick is falling in lurve, and I think he's hearing wedding bells in his head! "Nah, not until next week!" He wasn't done planning that special date yet.


The beginning of the following week, Derrick was ready to propose. Here he is the morning of the proposal. His recent promotion to paramedic has given him a bit of a confidence boost. Good Luck, Derrick!
