Dani was walking down the cereal isle behind Sam, trying to rid the images her sister had implanted of her and Shaun's first (very intimate) date.
She would never look at strawberries the same way again.
"And then he..."
"Sam!" Dani suddenly spoke up, stopping the trolley and them effectively.
"Yes?"
"Please stop with the details. I'm your sister and I'm extremely happy to hear your that your happy with him. But please. I do not want to hear every little detail. No amount of sisterly love can prepare me for that. I won't be able to sleep at nights"
"Your really over dramatic sometimes Dani. You should become an actress. You'll make millions"
"And you'll be broke if you rely on that dry sarcasm for an income"
"Where do you come from" Samantha laughs.
"Good question sis"
They proceeded down the isle with Samantha on the talking lead again. They were just about to turn the corner when Sam collided with something. Or rather someone.
Someone with bushy brown hair.
"Ouch!" That was Sam.
Oh my. I'm so sorry. I didn't pay attention. I'm really sorry... Samantha?" Hermione questions.
"Hermione! This is a pleasant surprise."
"It is. What are you doing here?"
"Buying groceries?" Sam answers with a laugh.
"Yeah of course. I knew that" Hermione blushes.
Her eyes darted around Sam, probably trying to spot Dani.
"She is here. Most likely stuck on the chocolate cereal" Samantha rolled her eyes, both at her sister and Hermione.
They are both so obvious but hopelessly blind.
"Oh uh okay" Hermione's blush deepened.
Just then Dani popped around the corner.
"Hey Sam do you think I could get this?" Dani asks as she rounded the corner and looked up. Stopping dead when she spotted Hermione.
"Hermione? Hey." Dani was pleasantly shocked.
"Hey there" Hermione gave a small wave.
"Are you doing shopping alone?"
"Oh no. Mum is here somewhere."
"Dani I'm not buying this again. Go put it back and pick something else" Sam had spotted the cereal box in Dani's arms and immediately shot down the question.
"But Sam.." She started whining
"No. And that's my final answer. Don't let me get mad now Dani"
"Fine. Okay" Dani answered defeated, her shoulders slumping and lips pouting.
"Go. Put. It. Back" Sam warned.
With a huff Dani stalked away to pick something else.
"Why can't she have that?" Hermione asks with curiosity.
"She landed in hospital because of that brand. Got too addicted. It was almost all she ate at one point. Until she started getting I'll and got landed in hospital. Since then I swore I'd never buy it again"
"Wow that's... That's..." Hermione was at a lost for words.
"Tell me about it." Just then Dani appeared with another brand. "That ones fine yes"
"Oh my this is a wonderful surprise" Emma had spotted her daughter and when she came closer, saw who she was conversing with.
"Dani dear. And you must be... Samantha right? Dani's sister" Emma spoke politely.
"That's me yes. And you must be Hermione's mother?"
"Emma. It's really a shame that I'm meeting you now for the first time, after knowing Dani for a little while now" Emma playfully criticized Dani.
Dani blushed, knowing it was her fault.
"Teenagers these days." Sam jokes.
"But this is actually wonderful timing then. Why don't you and Dani join us for dinner tonight? Then we can get to know each other better. I've been looking for a occasion to try out a new recipe"
Sam turns to look at Dani.
"That sounds like a lovely idea Emma. I'd love to join you"
"Great! Then it's settled then. We will see you tonight? I still have a lot of shopping to do so we must be off"
"Yeah of course. We still have too. See you tonight. Thank you Emma"
Everyone said their thanks and goodbyes then on in their separate ways.
While Dani and Sam walked away, Hermione couldn't help herself and turned her head to look at her retreating form.
A small smile played on her lips. One that she didn't took notice of, but one her mum definitely did.
I know this update sucks a bit. I'm kinda stuck a bit with writers block so I have been losing a little track on the story.
I've decided to just take a couple of days of from posting, it won't be a lot, just to get the ideas back and stuff.
I'm definitely not abandoning this story, pinky swear, so keep your alerts on ")
Thank you again for all you awesome people reading this. I appreciate it all.
Until then, "))
