Chapter Four: Dinner
The voices of Danny and Erin Reagan stood out from the rest. The siblings were fighting, of course, about stupid things. Jamie went down the stairs slowly; he hand a goofy smile on his face and was talking slowly. Danny and Erin looked at each other before looking at their baby brother. "Who is he talking to?"
"I have no idea." Erin answered Danny's question.
Jamie looked to his siblings then back to the woman who held his hand. "Ciara, this is Danny and Erin." He laughed. "Danny and Erin, this is my girlfriend Ciara."
Erin smiled, "Hi." She stuck out her hand and shook it. "Jamie, I didn't know you had a girlfriend."
"Yeah." Danny chimed in. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Jamie looked at Danny but didn't say a word. Danny looked at Ciara, stuck out his hand and shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you." Ciara smiled.
"Same." Danny replied.
*** Blue Bloods ***
Ciara sat between Jamie and Erin at the family dinner. She stayed quiet listing to the Reagan family talk about everything from their day at school.
Ciara found this very awkward. She never did this at her home; sit down with her family at the dinner table and talk. Ciara scarped her fork against the plate and picked her noodles.
She heard Nickki's voice chime in about a school project.
Ciara looked around before making her eyes look down to her plate. She felt nervous, sitting in a dinner room with a family. "Ciara?" Frank asked, trying to catch her attention. She looked up to him with a light smile on her face. "So, tell me about your family?" It was the same question Frank asked Johnny when Eric brought him home and when Linda came for dinner to meet the family. It was an important question for Frank because to the Reagan family is everything.
The question caught Ciara by surprise. She didn't know how to answer the question. She looked to Jamie, hoping he'd get her out of this awkward situation. "Um..." She began to say.
Danny looked to Ciara and saw that she was nervous. He didn't know that she searching for the right way to describe her dysfunctional family. She was panicking. "Jamie..." Danny said looking at Ciara. "How do you like the streets?"
Ciara noticed what Danny did for her and quickly gave him a thankful look.
Jamie gave the same look to Danny before answering his big brother's question. "It depends on what time of day it is..."
*** Blue Bloods ***
Ciara sat in the backyard by herself. She was trying to relax her nerves. She sollowed hard, sitting on a bench by Mary's garden. She heard a lot about Mary from the stories Jamie told her.
She looked up to the sky and her hands came together, so they held each other tightly.
"You have a really good son, Mrs. Reagan." She said out loud, not knowing someone was watching and listening into the one way conversation. "He has really made me happy."
"Ciara…" She heard a voice yell for her, making her jump in surprise. "Sorry." The voice belonged to Danny Reagan. "I didn't know that you were out here."
That was a lie. Danny heard her words to his mother.
"Can I join you?" He asked.
"Sure."
It was a few moments of awkward quietness after Danny took a seat next to her and he spoke up. "Jamie likes you a lot." Danny was watching the stars in the sky, waiting for Ciara to something.
"Me too. He's something special." Ciara told Danny.
"I'm glad you feel that way." Danny said softly. "He deserves someone like you."
"Thank you."
"Ciara." They heard Jamie scream from the back door. "The movie starts at nine-twenty. We gotta go." He said in a sweeter voice.
She laughed. "He's like being on time doesn't he?" Danny shook his head, agreeing with her. "It was nice meeting you." She smiled at him, before turning her back to him to walk to where Jamie was waiting for her.
"Bye." Danny said softly. He looked up to the sky, in the same fashion Ciara did. "I think Jamie has finally found the one." He smirked before getting up to join the rest of his family.
I know it short, but I already wrote Chapter Five (working on typing it) && it will be a lot longer. Get ready for some trouble!
