following is total fiction none of it really happened. (Well not that I’m aware of anyway!) I do not know Darren Hayes or Daniel Jones and I do not know their true sexuality. I do not mean any harm or disrespect to either of them.
When I got to mum’s I took my things up to the bedroom then I called Darren.
“Oh hi Bob, it’s Danny. Is Darren there please?”
“Daniel, nice to hear from you son. Darren told us you’d sorted out your differences I am so glad. I think you two needed your heads bashing together the way you’ve been acting. If it had’ve gone on for much longer I would have done it myself to bring you to your senses!”
“Yeah I’m glad we’ve made up too. You’re right we were behaving like kids for a while there.”
“Too right, I’ll just get him for you mate. Darren, Danny’s on the phone for you!”
“Ok dad, I’ll take it up here!” He picked up the extension.
“Hi love everything ok?”
“Yeah, I just told Kathy it’s over.”
“Really, how did she take it?”
“She was upset obviously. I feel awful for hurting her like that.”
“I’m sure you do. Do you regret doing it? We can always forget about us if you want, we can still be friends.”
“No I don’t regret finishing with her; I just wish I didn’t have to hurt her. I should never have asked her to marry me in the first place; it was a dumb thing to do while I still had feelings for you. If I’d have thought for one moment you and I would have got back together I wouldn’t have proposed to her.”
“So it’s all my fault is it?”
“I’m not saying that babe, but then again if you’d have come to my party…?”
“Yeah maybe I should have! So what happened did she leave or did you?”
“I did, I’m at mum’s for now. Is it ok for me to come over there tonight?”
“Yeah I don’t see why not. I’d love to see you again.”
“Ok I’ll be over in an hour or so.”
“Ok see you soon. And Danny…”
“Yeah?”
“I love you! And thanks again for last night!”
“No worries! I love you too babe, see you soon.”
After Darren got off the phone he went to tell Cassy that Daniel and Kathy had broken up. Then he decided he would tell her about him and Daniel.
“Cassy I want to tell you something but you have to promise me that you won’t tell anyone else, ever! Can you promise me that?”
“Of course Darren you know I won’t break a confidence.”
“Well it’s something really private that so far only two people know about and it’s really important that it doesn’t become public knowledge. I want to tell you because you and I are so close that there’s a chance I may let something slip anyway. Also I feel I can trust you and you’re broadminded enough not to let it affect our relationship. Can I trust you?”
“Yes, of course you can, you should know that. You tell me something in confidence and I promise I will take it to the grave. So are you going to tell me?”
“Ok here goes! It’s about me and Danny… you know we made up at the ARIA’s? Well the thing is… Daniel and I… are more than just friends. The truth is we’re… lovers!”
Cassy didn’t react immediately, Darren was so afraid he’d got it wrong, what if she wasn’t going to be as cool about it as he thought she would be? What if she didn’t understand and didn’t want to stay with him now? He would hate to lose her both as a friend and a PA.
“Well say something Cass! How do you feel about what I just told you?”
“How should I feel? Disgusted? Horrified? Shocked? Darren I’m just glad you finally feel able to admit the truth to me. I figured it out a long time ago! The way you reacted any time Daniel’s name was mentioned it was obvious there was more than just a friendship or professional relationship between you. You remember that guy I told you about? He was everything to me and it broke my heart when we broke up. I reacted exactly the same whenever his name was mentioned, until I got over him of course.”
“So you knew all along? Why didn’t you say something? I have been agonising over telling you and now you say you already knew!”
“I figured if and when you wanted me to know you would tell me. Of course the ARIA’s confirmed it when I saw the way he was watching you while you were onstage, he couldn’t take his eyes off you. And a lot of the time you were obviously singing directly to him. It also explains why you chose that song, considering Delta didn’t actually write it. So you were lovers before Savage Garden broke up and now you are back together again?”
“Yeah, we were almost from the time we met, then Savage Garden broke up and our romance was over too. Some really hurtful things were said by both of us I didn’t think we’d ever make up. Then we met up at the ARIA’s and we made up in all ways!”
“I thought so; you were both looking a little flushed, to say the least, when you came out of your dressing room!”
“Was it that obvious? Oh I hope Kathy didn’t notice!”
“I think it was only obvious to me because I was looking for the signs! I wanted confirmation of my suspicions and I got it! So is that why Daniel called off the engagement?”
“Yeah, it wasn’t fair on Kathy to let her think it was all ok between them when it wasn’t. He only proposed to her because he thought we were finished for good. He does love her, he just loves me more. She deserves better than to be second best, she’s a really nice girl.”
“Has he told her about you two?”
“Only that we’re friends again, she never knew we were anything more than friends before and we don’t want her knowing we’re lovers now. She doesn’t need to know. Please don’t tell her, you did promise!”
“Darren I promised I would keep your secret and I will, it goes to the grave with me! No matter how much you might piss me off in the future no one will ever hear it from me. You have my word on that.”
“Thanks babes, I really appreciate that. Maybe one day we will feel able to come out but not yet. Even our families don’t know yet. You’re really cool do you know that? The way you’ve accepted this, although I thought you would be.”
“I’m a very accepting person, hun. Everyone has a right to live their lives the way they want to and if you want to live your life loving Daniel and he wants to love you then why shouldn’t you? You’re not hurting anyone. It’s not for me to judge you. I’d hate to have you telling me how to live my life, that’s for sure. I may meet someone that you don’t approve of and although I’d value your opinion as a friend I’d like to think you’d respect my decision if I decided to stay with him anyway.”
“Of course I would so long as he treats you right, he’d have my blessing. Though he’d have to be really special to be worthy of you. You’re one special lady, Cass!”
“Aw! That’s really sweet!”
“It’s true, you are special. And you’re a really good friend. I bless the day I met you.”
“Yeah, I’m really glad we met too, you’re the best boss I ever had. And a good friend too.”
“So you’re really ok with this, Danny and me? I really need you to be onside you know.”
“Yeah I’m fine with it Darren. You can’t help your sexuality and whether you’re gay or straight you’re still the same person I’ve always known, it doesn’t make any difference.”
“Well actually I’m neither, I’m bi-sexual. I am truly attracted to women it was never just an act. In fact Danny’s the only guy I’ve ever been attracted to and I’m the only man he’s been with. So I’m more straight than gay. If we hadn’t got back together I would have been quite happy to get seriously involved with a woman, if I met the right one. Maybe settle down, have kids the lot!”
“What do you intend doing about kids? I mean you want to be a dad right? Will you adopt?”
“Maybe, unless we can get a surrogate mum. But that’s way in the future; we need to make sure we’re really secure before we even think about bringing a child into the relationship. We want to enjoy being together again as a couple for a while. I’m quite happy to just be Uncle Darren for now.”
“What about Savage Garden? Are you going to reform?”
“I honestly don’t know, we didn’t get a chance to discuss that! I’d love it if he wasmiss him being with me professionally too. I know I’m not quite as successful without him. I think we’re only whole when we’re together, the fans would be rapt too.”
“So now you’re back together on a personal level will you move back here?”
“Again I don’t know but I guess there’s nothing to keep me away now. Colby and I are friends and it would mean Danny and I can be together anytime we want to. I have enjoyed living in America, for one thing if I hadn’t I wouldn’t have met you, but I do miss my family when I’m not here. If I do move back here would you come with me?”
“Would you really want me to? I’m sure you could find someone else to do my job.”
“No one could take your place, Cass. I was lucky to find you, you’re every bit as good at the job as Leonie was, and like Leo you’ve become a very special friend. I couldn’t get that lucky a third time. I’d love you to come with me, will you?”
“Well I do love Australia and without you I’d be unemployed so there wouldn’t be too much to keep me in America. It would be different if I had any family.”
“Well I think my family have kinda adopted you as part of our family. They all love you as much as I do.”
“Well they’ve always made me feel very welcome. Until I met them I never knew what it was like to be part of a family, now I do. And you’re exactly what I would have chosen for a big brother! Ok if you come back here, I’ll come with you. I think this would be a great place to live.”
“Oh it is! You won’t regret it babes, I promise you. I’ll have a talk to Danny later see what he thinks.”
Later that evening I went to visit Darren at his parents’ house. When he opened the door he took me in his arms for a passionate kiss. Obviously he was alone!
“Get a room guys!” It was Cassy!
I jumped back from Darren like I’d got an electric shock!
“It’s okay don’t mind me, I can make myself scarce if you want me to. I understand if you want to spend some time alone.”
“She knows?” I whispered to Darren.
“Yeah, she knows. I told her but she’d already guessed anyway. She’s cool! It’s okay Cass you don’t have to go anywhere; it wouldn’t feel right to do anything under my parents’ roof, even if they are out.”
“Are you sure? I don’t mind.”
“No, really please stay. I’d like you to get to know Danny anyway. I’d like you two to be friends; you’re both very important to me.”
“Ok if you’re sure, I’ll stay. Are you ok with me staying Daniel?”
“Yeah, no worries!”
I would rather have had him all to myself but as he said it wouldn’t be right to do anything in his parents’ house. So as we were only going to talk I figured I may as well put up with Cassy being there, but I couldn’t wait to get him alone again. She was a really nice girl, and we had a great evening, the three of us. I learned that Cassy was orphaned as a child and had grown up in a children’s home because she had no other family. I thought that was really sad, I couldn’t imagine not having my family, but she’d grown up to be a very happy well adjusted woman. We discussed him coming back to live in Oz, I said nothing would make me happier but it had to be his decision. By the end of the evening he’d decided he was coming back to stay. Ecstatic couldn’t begin to describe how I felt about that! Cassy was coming with him but that was ok I didn’t see her as a threat and I did like her. The love of my life was coming home! We just had to make sure we were as discreet as we had been in the past. At least we had an ally in Cassy; she said she’d be willing to cover for us anytime we needed her to. She is one cool lady!
While they were in Oz, Darren and I did manage to get some time alone and we made up for some of the time we’d lost while we were apart! All too soon it was time for them to leave; we said our goodbyes in private with lots of long lingering kisses. I couldn’t bear to go to the airport with them; I was in tears when he left my parents’ house. He said he would be back as soon as possible and I said I would start looking for a house for him. Of course I also had to find somewhere for myself, he did suggest we share but I thought that might be a little obvious esallyally after all the rumours about us in the past! No, it was better if we kept separate homes. Apart from anything else I didn’t want to risk becoming homeless again if the unthinkable happened and we broke up again! Not that I think that is likely.
Within a couple of months we both had new homes within a mile of each other and Darren was back home. Cassy stayed at his house until she found a place of her own a few weeks later. Then at last we were able to spend as much time as we wanted together, some nights at his house and others at mine. We didn’t sleep too much for the first few weeks; there was too much lost time to make up for! We didn’t want to waste time sleeping when we could be making love. And we did plenty of that Darren always was insatiable! Of course there are plenty of people in this world who even now in the 21^st century would say what we are doing is wrong. That we will go straight to Hell, but you know what? I don’t care! Who needs Heaven? I’ve got that right here with my Darren and I know he feels the same; we’re both happy in our own heaven!
