“What a cutie” I thought
“Oh, sorry about that Frankie is very friendly “ I heard Joe say
“Is this your little brother?”
“Yes, he’s the youngest of the four of us,” said Joe picking Frankie up
“He’s a cutie, just like his older brother ”
Joe blushed.
I smiled.
“Let’s get Kevin and Nick “
“Okay”
Joe and I walked over to their spot.
“You ready guys?” Joe asked
“Yeah”
“Can you guys take Frankie with you?” a curly haired woman asked
“Do you mind Delaney?” Joe asked
“No, not at all “ I smiled
“Okay, come on Frankie “ said Joe putting Frankie in his stroller
“Joe, aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend?”
“Mom, this is my friend Delaney”
“Nice to meet you , Mrs. “ I stopped
“Our last name is Jonas “ she filled in the blank
“Okay, nice to meet you Mrs. Jonas”
“You too”
“You ready , Delaney?” Joe asked
“Yeah”
“Okay, bye kids have fun take care of Frankie “
“Don’t worry, mom “ Joe called over his shoulder as we walked away
“So tell me about yourself , Delaney “
“Okay, my full name is Delaney English Romero, I’m an only child, my parents are divorced, I love to write, my favorite color is red, I absolutely love music and I love musicals.
“Cool”
“How about you, Joe?”
“My full name is Joseph Adam Jonas, I’m the middle child as you can see, I love to play wiffle ball, I love to write songs and sing.”
“Okay, but lets to the matter at hand what do you want to do first?”
“It’s your choice since it’s your birthday “Joe smiled as he pushed Frankie in his stroller
“Okay, how about that red slide?”
“Okay”
We walked to the slide and went on it.
“That was fun”
“Yeah, it was “Joe agreed his hair dripping wet
“God, he is so cute,” I thought looking into his beautiful hazel eyes
We got out of the water and walked over to Nick, Kevin and Frankie.
“Where do you want to go now?”
“I bet Frankie is feeling left out, aren’t you little buddy? “ I asked walking in front of his stroller, bending down, and tickling him
He giggled in reply.
“What do you suggest we do then?” Joe asked
“There’s a pool over there we all can go in “
“Okay” said Joe
“Last one , in is the rotten egg!” yelled Kevin
“Let me get Frankie settled in” said Joe
“Let me help “ I said unbuckling Frankie and holding him
Joe smiled at me.
“What are you smiling at?”
“You’re good with kids , Frankie usually won’t let anyone hold him”
“Thanks”
“No problem” said Joe taking Frankie from my arms and putting him in a floatie
“Come on guys!” yelled Kevin and Nick
“Coming!” yelled Joe picking up Frankie
“I’ll watch Frankie in the shallow end,” I offered
“Okay, we’ll trade places in a few minutes”
“Okay “ I said taking Frankie from Joe’s arms
Joe smiled and swam towards Kevin and Nick.
