Mary, Gerry and Grandad Joe were heading up to Dublin for a family wedding. Sarah and Orla were away to Belfast for the ‘Under 18’s Step aerobics’ competition.
Which left Erin and Anna alone, but Erin didn’t mind. She liked looking after her younger sister.
After seeing her parents and Grandad off, she decided to take Anna to the park as it was a lovely day (everyone knows Ireland isn’t known for them).
She took Anna inside and got themselves ready. She dressed Anna in a cute pink and white stripy sun dress and a big white hat to prevent sun from burning. She packed a white cardigan in case it got a bit chiller.
She dressed herself in a grey dress which reached her knees and a black and red oversized checkered flannel.
She put Anna in her pram and put a picnic in the bottom section and headed to the park.
As Erin pushed her sister in the pram, they were sing nursery rhymes and having a bit of a giggle.
When they arrived at the park, she took Anna out of her pram and they began to play. While pushed Anna on the swing she saw James walk past the park.
This excited Erin.
‘James!’ Erin screamed which made both him and Anna jump with shock.
James turned around and seen his friend and her sister at the park, he approached them with a smile on his face.
‘What are you doing around here James’ asked Erin
‘Needed a break from Michelle, you know what she’s like’ James replied
They both laughed
‘Your more than welcome to stay and play with us’ Erin said as she played with her sister’s hair
‘we won’t be mean wont we Anna’ Erin cooed
Anna giggled
‘I would love to’ James said which an adorable smile.
As the day went by the three of them played in the park. James pushed Erin and Anna on the roundabout. They made sandcastles in the sand pit and Erin helped Anna around the climbing frame obstacle course which end her running towards the slide where James caught her at the bottom.
The pair giggled.
Erin stood at top of the slide which the two of them laughing. It was the cutest thing she has ever seen, her feeling for James were growing.
Without evening thinking Erin shouted from the top of the slide she shouted ‘My turn!’
James saw Erin flying down the slide he put his arms out to catch her but she was going too fast.
Erin crashed into James.
James lying on the ground and Erin on top of him.
They stared into each other’s eyes, it felt like time had stopped.
James slowing tucked a piece of loose hair behind Erin’s ear.
Erin smiled at him.
Erin wanted kiss James in that moment.
She felt her head going towards his.
As Erin’s head came towards James a smile appeared on this face. This was the moment he was wait for.
A kiss
They their lips were inches away from each other.
The moment was interpreted by Anna screaming ‘I’m hungry!’
Erin was fuming that her little sister just ruined her chance with James.
They both got up and awkwardly smiled at each other.
Erin quickly scurried towards the pram and got the picnic basket.
Anna held James’ hand and lead him to the table.
The three laughed while having their picnic.
James and Erin exchanged looks as they eat, both hoping they hadn’t forgotten what happened.
After they had eaten their food the sun began to set, they packed up their belonging and left the park.
James being a gentleman offered to walk the girl’s home.
When they arrived at the Quinn’s house Erin offered James a cup of tea, even though how much he wanted to accept he had to make his way back home. His aunt was probably wondering where he was.
Ah okay, another time Erin quietly said with a small frown on her face but understood why he had to go.
Just one thing before I go James said with a cheeky smile on his face
What Erin replied
James put his hand around her waist and kissed her.
Erin found her hand ruffling his curly hair.
The pair broke apart.
That was for earlier He said a smile and slowly walked away
As he walked away Erin laughed to herself and thought to ‘I hope this is the start of something new’.
