Great sound track for dancing round the kitchen in late summer.

do i apply for a job that has a requirement of 2yrs experience when i haven’t got any experience?

Yes, if it is something that you want to do and you have a lot of the skills, go for it. If they have lots of applicants then you might not get called to interview, but if the field is smaller then the recruiter will make the decision about how important experience is compared with the other requirements.

And as always, thanks to shanshenanigan for just being the best. :D

Enjoy! xx

Finn rang just after nine to make sure he was looking at the right time table. Rae grabbed her ticket off the counter and confirmed that she was arriving at the train station at 5:46 p.m. “You’re sure?” Finn asked for the third time. “For fuck’s sake, Finnley. Yes!” She heard a tiny snicker through the receiver and smiled warmly. They were silent for a minute before Finn told Rae he couldn’t wait to see her and hung up with a soft click. Rae’s heart skipped a beat as soon as she heard a dead line and bolted up the stairs to get ready for their meeting. Given all that had happened before her trip home, she was not expecting a date with Finn when she got back to university, meaning she didn’t pack anything that was worthy.

Is it a date? Does he still want that after everythin’ that happened?

She rifled through her closet searching for something that would work. She mostly had band t-shirts but that’s all she ever wore. She wanted something different. She found a burgundy skirt that she completely forgot she had and thought it would look wonderful with her new pea coat.

Now to find a top… I wonder if mum will let me borrow one…

“MUM!” Rae hollered out of her bedroom door so her mother could hear her from the kitchen.

“Yes, Rae?” She heard her mother say from the bottom of the stairs.

“Can I borrow a top?”

“For what?” Her mother teased.

“For… Uhh…”

“Oh, it’s alright, Rae.” Her mother’s laugh made its way up the stairs. “Of course you can. Just make sure it’s not one of my new ones.” She added turning back to the kitchen.

“Thanks!”

Rae pushed the door of her mom and Karim’s bedroom open and was met with the comfortable scent of Karim’s aftershave and her mom’s perfume. She smiled as she breathed in, the feeling of a warm blanket closing around her. She walked over to her mother’s walk-in closet and her mouth fell to the floor.

Day Like This Part 8

The next morning Rae woke up to a drooling Chloe, she smiled to herself as she thought over their talk the previous night. Rae had decided to be upfront about not having been in France, she explained to Chloe that she would tell her when she was ready, she suspected Chloe could sense the vulnerability and nervousness in her so Chloe left it at that, reassuring her that she would be there when for her when she was ready. Rae was happy to have her friend back she needed people like Finn and Chloe in her life; Chloe began to ramble on about how she met the gang, but left the inevitable question until the end, asking if there was anything going on between Rae and Finn.

Rae thought for a moment, was there anything going on between her and Finn, they were mates yeah, but they connected on a much deeper level and just the way he looked at her, sometimes she could swear he felt more too, but she simply answered “we’re just mates” ;she has a suspicion that Chloe didn’t quite believe her.

So sweet - love it

Supermarket Sweep

The red cabbage incident was not a deterrent from indulging in afternoon delights in Rae’s room. Rae’s new bed had suspiciously loud springs therefore many of their more nefarious activities were taken to the bean bag, salvaged from her old room. Just as Finn’s hand began to snake towards the promise land, slipping beneath the waistband of her leggings, fingers curling in her soft black curls. A loud knock pounded on the door followed by a gruff ‘Rae’. Finn retracted his hand  so forcefully from Rae’s leggings that the elastic snapped back against Rae’s skin painfully. ‘Ouch’ Rae cried out as Finn sprang from the beanbag landing on the other side of the room, rubbing away the tell tale marks that Rae’s leggings made on his wrist.

Rae and Finn had been caught in some compromising positions by his father. Last week sprang to mind when his father came early from work to find Finn singing in exhalation with Rae’s hand down his pants. Being caught by his Dad just meant some bumbling apologies as he stumbled from the room and an awkward lad’s lecture when Rae went home. Being caught by Linda or Karim was a whole other kettle of fish, a kettle of piranhas. Linda was a fearsome woman to behold, he could imagine Karim tearing his bits off him with his bulging bodybuilder arms and Linda serving them to him for tea with a side order of red cabbage, of course

The door creaked open and Karim’s bearded face poked through the small crack, his eyes trained on the ground. ‘Rachel, your mother wants you’ Looking at Karim’s retreating back as he made a hasty get away without looking at either of them in the eye, it would seem Karim was just as shy to catch them as Finn was to be caught. The frustrated and flushing teens followed Karim down the stairs.

He he brilliantly done. Reminds me of a conversation I overheard at uni of some boys talking about tampons with wings - I think they were a little confused!

Will I be her boyfriend? "Yes." He said without another thought. Then he leaned down to press his lips to hers again.

Her lips, still after all these hours of kissing, tasted like mint and cherries. Rae opened her mouth allowing Finn to push his tongue inside to taste even more of Rae. She tasted so good, the cherries and mint even more strong. “Rae?” "Finnley?"
