A/N: A big thank you to my reviewer rosecoloredskys. I'm so glad you like it...Heres a happy, funny chapter. It's funny the drinking game in this chapter I actually played the day I wrote this. I had a lot of fun writing this one. Remember Deirfiúir means sister in Gaelic.
Patricia and Shayla walked into the supermarket grabbing a cart and moving down the produce isle. "Hey Shay what are ye makin fer dinner?" Patricia got no response from her sister. Shayla kept walking down the isle ignoring her. Patricia realized that she was deep in thought so she caught up with her and placed her hand on her sister's shoulder bringing her out of her daydream. Shayla jumped slightly, startled by her sister. "Shay what's wrong with ya? Ye were so deep in thought ya didn't even hear me talking to ya." "I'm sorry Pat. I just got some things on me mine." "Okay spill it. What are ya thinkin about?" Shayla smiled for a second thinking if she should answer her sister. "Well…I had a funny feeling when Connor gave me that smile earlier." "Ah I get it! You still have feelings fer tha blond MacManus." Patricia was now grinning like crazy at Shayla. "Pat, don't give me that stupid fuckin grin. Anyway, I haven't had a feeling like that since the first time he kissed me." "All I'm gonna say Deirfiúir is…GO FOR IT! Ye neva know what could happen." Shayla just shrugged her shoulders at her sister and walked away. Patricia realized that Shayla was already down the isle. "Hey wait up. Oh and to ask me question again. What are ye makin fer dinner?" Shayla smiled at her. "I'm makin beef stew and fer dessert Bailey's cake." "Mmmm sounds great."
They had finally finished shopping and walked home. They brought the bags in placing them on the kitchen counter. "I'm gonna start straightening up the place while you cook." Shayla nodded and began pulling everything out of the bags sorting through what she would need for dinner. After putting everything else away and starting the meet for the stew she grabbed a bag of potatoes and sat down to start peeling them. As she was working her mind began to wander. She started thinking about Connor and their first kiss.
Shayla and Connor sat together outside their school under a large tree. It was a wonderful spring day out. They were 13 and for once got out of school on time. Patricia and Murphy on the other hand didn't. They both had detention for some stupid prank they tried to pull. Connor and Shayla decided they were going to wait for them. Shayla sat with her back to Connor leaning against him and drawing in her sketch book. Connor on the other hand was reading a book like he always did. Connor put his book down and tapped Shayla on her shoulder. "Hey Shay." Shayla put her drawing down and turned to face him. "Murph an me were thinkin." He paused which made Shayla more impatient. "What were tha two of ye thinkin about?" "Well…We were thinkin that when we turn 18 Murph and me are gonna leave here an go ta America. Would ye an Pat come with?" Shayla took a moment to think. She then took Connor's hand and looked deep into his steel blue eyes. "Connor I can't speak fer Pat but as fer me…yes I would go with ya ta America." Connor smiled looking back into Shayla's jade green eyes. He then leaned in and kissed her gently. He started to move away slowly breaking the kiss and placed his free hand on her cheek. Shayla had closed her eyes when Connor kissed her. As he moved away she started to open them. She looked into his eyes again and shyly smiled blushing slightly. Connor smiled back still looking into Shayla's eyes. Shayla broke the staring turning her head away. She turned back and was met with Connor's wide smile. "That was nice." Shayla had managed to meekly speak not fully trusting her voice yet. "Aye. That was nice. Maybe we should do it again." Shayla giggled. "Always being suave Connor." "Hey I try." Connor went and kissed Shayla again a bit more passionately this time. Shayla parted her lips and Connor took his chance and slipped his tongue in. Shayla moved her hand from his hand and up to his chest as Connor moved his hand to tangle his fingers in her long hair. Their tongues battling for dominance. After some time they reluctantly broke the kiss for air. They sat looking deep into each others eyes until they heard the familiar laughing of Murphy and Patricia coming close. They quickly parted as the other two walked up to them.
Patricia had started straightening up in the bedroom. Their room was scarcely furnished. There were two mattresses on the floor and a chest of drawers that they both shared. She finished cleaning up and moved to work on the living room. She was thinking to herself that Connor and Shayla would make the perfect couple. She chuckled to herself as her next thought was of Murphy. She had always had feelings for him but never acted on them. "Hopefully Shay and me would be able to finally settle down and be happy fer once and not have ta look over our shoulders all tha time." She thought out loud to herself. Saying that made her think of one of the reasons they came to Boston. The two of them had a job to do and they had to do it soon. Patricia had finally finished cleaning the apartment and decided to join her sister in the kitchen.
Shayla was just finishing up with the cake and was almost done cooking dinner when Patricia had walked in. "Ye done already Pat?" "Aye everything is clean." Shayla nodded and went back to cooking. "Shay I was thinkin that we should start to go after your 2 fishies soon." Shayla turned to her sister, her smile fading. "Aye the ones that got away. We'll start doing survailence on one of em this week." Patricia nodded. "Which one do ya wanta go after first?" "I definitely want William King first. But, we will talk about this later. Right now let's enjoy ourselves and be normal fer once." Patricia nodded again.
Shayla had dinner finished and on the table moments before the guys showed up. It was a few minutes passed 7:00 and there came a knock at the front door. Both girls knew it was the guys. Patricia was sitting on the couch watching T.V. not making an attempt to answer the door. Shayla realized her sister wasn't going to move so she went to let the guys in. She walked through the living room to get to the door. "Don't worry Pat I got the door. Ye don't have ta move ye lazy bum." Patricia laughed at her sister and got up as Shayla opened the door. The guys walked in giving Shayla a hug. Murphy walked up to Patricia and held up 2 cases of Guinness. "I brought these fer dinner" "Thanks Murph just put em in tha fridge." Murphy smiled and went into the kitchen going straight for the refrigerator. He turned around seeing the table was already set. "Wow Shay everything looks great. Alright people lets eat I'm starved." Murphy sat down and waited for everyone else to join him. Connor, Patricia and Shayla all laughed as they walked into the kitchen to sit down. "Aye girls me brother here always thinks with his stomach first." Connor patted Murphy on the shoulder. Murphy just glared at Connor. That incited more laughter from everyone. "Okay, okay enough with the chit-chat." Murphy was really getting impatient now. They all bowed their heads and Connor began to say grace. "Bless this food to our use, and us to thy service, and make us ever mindful of the needs of others." "Amen." They all said in unison and did the sign of the cross. They all started to dig in.
As they were eating Connor turned to Shayla pausing for a moment in his eating. "Shay this is delicious. It's even better than me ma makes." Shayla smiled so wide and blushed at Connor's remark. Before she could say her thanks Murphy decided to comment. His mouth full of food. "Con's right. This is delicious and is that a cake that I saw in tha fridge?" Shayla finally got a chance to respond. "Thank you guys. Your remarks mean a lot. Aye Murphy that is Bailey's cake in there." "As in Irish Cream cake?" Murphy had an intrigued look on his face. Shayla and Patricia nodded. "That's definitely interesting. I've never had that before." Shayla turned to Connor as he spoke. "Believe me Con, you'll love it." Shayla smiled at Connor as they all went back to eating.
They had finished eating dinner and cleaned up the kitchen. They all moved into the living room to hang out. Shayla and Connor were sitting on the little beat up love seat as Patricia and Murphy were sitting on the couch. "We got lucky fer tamorrow. We got tha day off." Murphy was happy that they got the day off. Now they could stay and hang out longer. "Oh that's great guys." Shayla smiled at Connor then Murphy. They were all sitting there talking and laughing till Patricia came up with an idea. "Well bein that yer off tamorrow I got an idea." She looked at Shayla and smiled. "Shay remember that drinkin game we used ta play back in New York. The one that was like truth or dare?" "Aye. Tha one that if ya don answer tha question ye have ta take a drink." Shayla smiled back at her sister. The guys were looking back and forth between the girls. They both had an idea of the game. Connor and Murphy shared a mini conversation in silence, both agreeing to play this game. The girls were able to pick up on their answer. "Okay girls we'll play." "Alright let's go inta tha kitchen ta play." Shayla had a devilish smile on her face.
The guys sat down in the same seats from dinner. The girls were gathering shot glasses and all the alcohol in the house. They returned with about 8 various bottles. There were tequila, whiskey, vodka and rum. "Wow! Ye girls got enough alcohol there?" Murphy was smirking at Patricia figuring he was being a smart ass. Patricia smirked back. "Murph there's neva enough." They started having a staring contest. Shayla and Connor stated laughing at them. "Okay boys the rules are simple. Ye answer the question ye don't have ta take a drink. If ye decide not ta answer then ye gotta take a shot. Basically anything goes. Whatever questions can be asked to whoever." Murphy gave up on the little contest. The guys nodded in agreement to the rules.
Patricia started asking questions first. Figuring she was going to be nice. She started out easy. "Alright I'm gonna start out easy here. Murph have ye continued with yer guitar lessons afta we left home?" Murphy started laughing. "Aye Pat I have." Murphy turned to Connor with a devious smirk on his face. "Is it true that Shayla was yer first kiss?" Both Shayla and Connor started to blush. Shayla was looking intently at Connor. "Aye Shayla was me first kiss." Connor started blushing even more looking at Shayla and smiling. Shayla smiled back and decided to try and get Murphy back. "Okay Murph who was your first kiss?" Murphy looked around the table and decided to pour himself a shot of whisky chugging it down right away. Connor looked at Shayla with a look of thank you on his face. Connor turned to Patricia. "Pat same question as Murph." Patricia looked at her sister then grabbed the tequila and took a shot. They all laughed. It seemed that they were going to form teams now. "The wildest thing you have ever done Shayla." Shayla thought for a moment. "It's hard fer me ta pick one moment here." "Either answer or take a shot sis." "One of them would be when I took up pole dancing." Patricia started laughing hysterically. Connor and Murphy had a look of shock on their faces. "Murphy same question as Shayla." Murphy decided to take another shot. Some time later they were all getting a bit tipsy now. The questions started getting raunchier.
Connor and Shayla both decided they had enough and went and moved into the living room while Patricia and Murphy kept playing. They were sitting on the couch drinking beer now instead of the hard stuff. Shayla turned to Connor smiling. "Con I was really yer first kiss?" "Aye Shay ye were. And I'm really happy that ye were." Shayla started to blush again. "Ta be honest with ya Con ye were my first kiss too." Connor leaned over and kissed her. Shayla parted her lips leaning in more to deepen the kiss. All of a sudden they hear a crash and laughing from the kitchen. They broke the kiss and went in to see that a very drunk Murphy had fallen out of his chair and a very drunk Patricia laughing hysterically. Connor and Shayla stood in the doorway shaking their heads. "Maybe Murph and me should get goin home before he makes a complete ass of himself." "Con if ye want the two of ye can stay 'ere tanight." Connor looked the kitchen window that was wide open. He saw that while they were with the girls it had started snowing pretty bad out there. "Are ye sure its no problem Shay." She nodded. "We can put them on Pat's bed." "Okay I'll take tha couch." "Con I wouldn't make ye do that. Ye see fer yourself it aint all that comfortable. You can stay with me." Connor thought for a moment then nodded. Connor went and got Murphy off the floor and Shayla helped Pat up. Connor followed behind Shayla while she led the way to the bedroom. Shayla pushed her sister onto her bed and Connor did the same to Murphy. They stood there and watched them for a second. Murphy and Patricia had curled up together like that's the way they belonged. "Well Shay it's afta 4 maybe we should get some sleep too." Shayla nodded. They both took off their shoes and laid down on Shayla's bed. It was kinda cold in the room so Shayla curled up closer to Connor. He put his arms around her and they both fell fast asleep.
