Irish Vacation

Chapter four

Roxie sat as still as she could while her sister finished helping her curl her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror and caught herself smiling. Eoin had told her to not dress up, since they were all wearing special shirts. There was a knock at the door and she heard Eoin come in and introduce himself to everyone. Roxie grabbed her coat quickly and went out to greet him, she didn't want her parents to say anything that would embarrass her.
"Don't wait up." She told Fergus as he handed her a house key. Eoin offered Roxie his arm, leading her to his car.
"How are you doing today ?" He asked.
"I'm well, thanks. So what did you do today?" She asked him, turning to face him but finding it difficult to see him in the dark car.
"I helped my Ma put together a dresser, and that took all day." He said with a chuckle. They got to a house, which Roxie assumed was where Eoin lived. "Home sweet home." They went up the steps and Eoin opened the door, holding it open for her.
"Eoin, your house is so beautiful." She said as she looked around his house.
"Thanks darlin." He tossed a shirt to her. It was bright orange and said 'LET'S GET REAAADDDYY TO STUMMMMBLE' on the front, and 'BRADLY'S BIRTHDAY PUB CRAWL' on the back. Roxie giggled and pulled the shirt over her head, cover the thin camisole she had on under her jacket. when her head popped out she noticed that she was able to see Eoin as he put on his shirt. She knew her eyes were lingering on his muscular torso and she really hoped that he didn't notice her staring.
"Ready?" He asked with a smile that let her know that he had in fact noticed her staring. Her cheeks felt as red as her hair while she put her coat back on. "Let's get on our way."
Eoin locked his door and they headed down the road for a bit to a busy looking pub. Through the window Roxie was able to see people in the same shirts as them, and when they entered people started chanting Eoin's name. They joined the large group and Eoin introduced Roxie to everyone. "Katie, Colin, Eddie, Alex and the birthday boy, Bradley, and this is Roxie. " Roxie shook everyones hand, "Want a drink?" Eoin asked, leaning in and asking in her ear, so he could be heard over the loud music. She nodded, and followed him up to the bar. The band started playing a new song and Eoin stop and turned to her with a grin on his face."This is my favourite song, we need to dance." He grabbed her hand and pulled her to where everyone was dancing. He held her hand and spun her around, loudly singing along with the music. Roxie giggled and shrieked with delight when he picked her up by the waist and spun her around again, her feet leaving the ground.
