Marion stayed for some time asking Aoife many questions about what she did and where she came from. At times, it felt like a strange sort of interview.
After what seemed like a good hour she exclaimed “Well, I guess I’ll leave you two love birds at it. You didn’t come all this way to see me. And Aoife, next time you come there’s no need to stay in a B&B. There is a spare room here.”
“Wow, thanks. That is so nice of you.”
With that, she left and they were alone once more.
“You have a lovely Mum, Stephen.”
“Ah yeah, she has a heart of gold. She wasn’t supposed to ask ya so many questions though! Think she was as excited to meet you as I was.”
“It’s alright, she just wants to make sure her son won’t be led stray.”
“Oh, you can lead me astray anytime.”
Aoife gigged and moved closer to him.
She moved her hand through his hair. Then moved closer again and began to kiss him passionately slowly raising one of his hands up to her breast.
“You are so beautiful Aoife.” He was looking right into her eyes.
Nobody had ever said that to her before and she knew it wasn’t just words.
She felt a warmth growing inside as she lost herself in those eyes.
For the next few hours they talked, kissed and watched tv. Neither wanted it to end.
Eventually, it came time for her to go.
“What will we do tomorrow?” she asked.
“How about visiting the Gap of Dunloe? My Mum said she would drive us and maybe drop us off somewhere afterwards?”
“Sounds cool!”
