Friday Night
It was a Friday evening and the gang arranged to head to Quinn household (as they usually would). They thought it would be a good idea to their homework this evening meaning they will have a free weekend to do whatever they like.
Obviously, it did not work how they planned. Michelle, Orla and Joe were watching some weird crime drama and yelling at the TV trying to tell the detective who did it. Clare was having a mini panic attack trying to get the girls to focus on their work as she wanted to get it done but then got hooked on the crime drama as well. Aunt Sarah was painting her nails while complaining how she missed her appointment due to another stupid bomb scare.
Mary was doing the washing up while Gerry fed baby Anna her dinner in the kitchen accompanied by Erin and James sitting at the kitchen table.
Erin was showing James be book collection as he was the only one who has taken an interest.
As Erin spoke to him about her favourite book, he could help think maybe I wasn't the book he was interested in it was the blonde firecracker who was talking about them.
James wasn't sure what it was about Erin that drew him to her. But all that he knew was that he was he may be developing feeling for her, which scares him as he knows that she doesn't feel that same and would want to ruin their friendship. He shakes the though out of his head and continues to listen to Erin.
Later Erin proceeded to talk about a series books she owns, and they are he all time favourites, from an occasional scream from the gang Erin managed to say she is unable to find the last book anywhere. James gives her a sympathetic smile.
As he picks up the book, she tells James how she always thinks what the ending the ending is like but she will never know.
Mary pipes in and tells Erin to stop about the and that she had tried her best to find but she can't. James can see the upset look on both the mothers and daughters faces, as they continue to bicker Anna throws a piece of her dinner and it lands one of the books. James and Erin's hand both goes for the cloth sitting on the and their hands meet. They both blush and smile.
1 week later
James was taking a walk around the town as sometimes Michelle is a bit too much and he just need sometime to breath. As he walked around the shops when he saw a doctor who book on display, he headed into the shop and looked the selection of books in the corner of his eye he saw a selection of books that he recognised. Then he clicked it was books Erin was talking about, he rummaged through them and found the last remaining book. Without thinking about it he puck it up and bought it.
Erin's Birthday was in a few weeks' time and he thought that that would be the perfect opportunity to give it to her.
Erin's Birthday
As the sun creeped through curtains Erin began to wake. She had a big smile on her face as today was her 17th Birthday.
As he made her way downstairs, she saw balloons scattered around the floor, she smiled to herself. She loved how her family goes full out with birthdays and goes the extra mile to make her feel special.
She entered the kitchen and Orla, Aunt Sarah, Grandad Joe (holding baby Anna) and her parents Mary and Gerry began to sing Happy Birthday.
There a beautiful cake lit up in the middle of the table and Mary came over and gave Erin the biggest followed by who gave her a kiss on the check.
They had Erin's favourite breakfast and she opened her presents.
The gang was coming over later for a mini party.
Erin and Orla were upstairs getting ready and the doorbell rang.
Erin ran downstairs and opened the door she was greets her friends Clare and James shouting, 'Happy Birthday!' and Michelle roaring 'Happy Birthday Mother Fuckaa'.
She let them in and hugged each one of them. They all sat in the living room having a laugh and decided to do the presents. All the adults came in too.
Erin started with Clare who bought her a selection of hairbands and colourful pens for her diary. Erin gave her the biggest hug.
She then opened Michelle's presents which was make up set and made a comment about how she can make herself hot and try to pull John-Paul which made Erin go red in front of her parents.
Finally, James handed Erin a neatly wrapped cuboid. She shaked the object and said, 'I think it's a book' and chuckled, and he laughed back.
She slowly unwrapped the object
Michelle saw the book and said 'can't actually believe you got her book you dickhead, how lame'
Erin look one look at the book and looked James in eyes and whispered 'fuck off'
Mary chimed in 'Manners Erin'
Erin handed the book to her Ma and the shock in her face says it all.
Erin jumped up and gave James the biggest hug and a big kiss on the check.
The whole room was in confusion apart from Ma Mary who had the biggest smile on her face, and thought to herself 'This could be something special'.
Should I continue?
