Chapter Two

A few days later Connor decided to go back to that bookstore and look for the mystery girl. Connor was getting very excited on the hopes of seeing this girl again. As he got to the bookstore he decided right then and there that he was going to prove Murphy wrong. He was going to talk to this girl and depending on how it went ask her on a date. He wasn't scared he is Connor MacManus ladies man.

Connor walked up to the counter in the back of the store and the same older lady from a few days ago was there. Now he was worried. What if he was wrong and she didn't work her she was shopping like him and was asking for help. He has missed his chance. Murphy was right he had no balls. Just as Connor was about to walk away from the older lady without saying a word, the lady asked,

"Sir, may I help you?"

It was now or never. Connor decided what would it hurt maybe they both work here. "Yes mam, I was here a few days ago and I was wondering if the young lady with dark brown hair and blue eyes is here today?"

"No she is not." The lady answered wary of this Irish man in front of her.

"Oh, well when does she work next?"

"Sorry I can not disclose that information to customers."

"Oh no mam, I am a friend of hers."

"Oh are you now? Why don't you call her yourself and ask her." The lady said as she gave him a "I caught you" look. "I bet you don't even know her name, girl with brown hair and blue eyes… friend my ass… now go away WEIRDO. She is a nice girl and doesn't need you around bothering her. I better not see you around my store again." With that she took a book and hit him. Connor could not believe this was happening to him. He quickly turned around without a word and left. He was humiliated! This old lady caught him. Connor was defeated. McGinty's…Beer… and must not ever speak of this again.

A few blocks away Murphy was with Rocco. They were walking towards McGinty's and shooting the shit.

"So Roc, Connor saw this lass the other day and swears she was the prettiest lass he had ever seen yet the self proclaimed Don Juan didn't have the cojones to talk the little lassie. I could not stop laughing. You should have been there man he looked so defeated. The best part is he probably never see the lass again. Shit if I saw the prettiest lass I have ever seen I would run up to her and ask her out right then and there."

"Shit man, in this town you see a hot piece of tail you gotta talk to her. What a pussy…" Roc keep talking about Connor however Murph was no longer listening.

Murph stood still in front of a building. This building had a huge window right in front. It was a dance studio and inside there was this angel dancing, gliding, flying across the hardwood. When she danced you could see how much she loved what she was doing and the passion she had for dance. Murph was memorized. Murph lost track of time but was shaken from his trance by Rocco.

"Man, Murph, hello… earth to Murphy." Rocco said as he had a shit-eating grin on his face.

"What Roc, sorry, what were you saying?" Murph said as he began to continue walking.

"Hey Murph if you want to "ask her out" I will wait out here." Rocco said still smiling

"Lets just go get a beer Roc." Murph said as he threw an arm about Roc and they began to walk away. Rocco just started to shake his head and laugh.

"What is so funny?"

"You, Shit it must run in the family. To scared to talk to a pretty girl."

"Shut it, she was busy."

"That was Connor's excuse too. Pathetic the both of you. I cannot wait till I tell Connor! Classic."

"Oh you better not asshole." Murph said as Roc started to walk faster.

Later that night, as Connor was downing his sorrows in private Rocco retold the events of the afternoon. That made it all better. Connor was laughing so hard and Murph just keep saying, "Shut it".

In those same moments both MacManus' decided quietly that they would go back to the different places of business and try again. Neither wanted to be the brother that didn't have the cojones to talk to a pretty lass.
