Updating a bit quicker than I had intended, got a rush of ideas after a couple of bottles of wine! Hope it's not too bad as a result. Let me know what you think I love reading the reviews. Even with idiots mucking the system up!
Own nothing!
The evening had passed pretty calmly after Jamie's accident, mainly because he decided that he'd had enough to drink and shot off to talk to his boyfriend instead. The 5 remaining students talked a little about themselves, finding out information before it got too cold and they decided to go to bed.
Sophie and Sian sat on Sophie's bed talking about what they were going to do the following morning. 'We need to go to the SU to see what's going on, then we've got the day to ourselves. What do you fancy doing?' Sian said as she automatically played with the brown hair in front of her. Sophie was so relaxed she was almost asleep, 'Dunno, you can show me the sights!'
Sian glanced down to see the blue eyes of her friend had closed, she gently got up and layed her down on the bed, covering her with her duvet as she whispered 'good night' and gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.
She hadn't made it far in the dark when she crashed into a solid body, 'You two are a lot closer than I thought!' Sian could hear the smirk in Jamie's voice, 'What are you on about? I told you we were close, she's been my best friend for years. We've seen each other through all sorts of bad stuff' she muttered to him, desperate not to wake Sophie. 'Methinks the lady doth protest too much' he replied mysteriously before scarpering off to his own room without giving Sian a chance to reply leaving her standing in the hallway with a puzzled look on her face.
The following morning when Sophie stumbled down the stairs, rubbing her face, still half asleep she was treated to the sight of Jamie in a pair of yellow boxers humming along to a Rihanna song on the radio as he poured cereal into a bowl, 'Put on your pretty lies' he briefly sang part of the song until he saw Sophie watching him, 'Good morning! Not a morning person are we?' he asked when his cheerful greeting was met with a scowl. 'Want some breakfast?' he tried again, 'I'll do myself some toast in a minute' Sophie replied as she sat at the dining table, crossed her arms on the surface then placed her head carefully on top of them.
They were joined a few minutes later by Chelle, 'Well I hope your better than grumpy guts over there in the morning' Jamie grinned, 'Erm...'
'Good that'll do!' He exclaimed, grabbing her hand and twirling her around, 'sit down I'm doing breakfast.'
When he turned the radio up a few minutes later it wasn't long before the rest of the house were awake and downstairs in the kitchen. Sian was the last one down, fora reason she couldn't figure out she hadn't been able to get to sleep after the midnight meeting with Jamie in the hallway. She stood behind Sophie who still had her head resting on her arms and began brushing her hair back from her face with her fingers. 'Why did you have to turn the radio up Jamie? It's too early for your singing' Sian groaned, 'Music is best enjoyed as loudly as possible, you know that' Jamie placed a round of toast in the middle of the table and smacked his lips together in Sian's direction, 'Tuck in Soph, you wanted toast and now you have it!' Looking up at last the first thing Sophie saw was a pile of charred and blackened toast in front of her, 'No thanks, I don't like the taste of charcoal!' she croaked, 'I'll do you some more babe' Sian hurried over to the toaster to start again.
After they had all eaten Jamie announced that as the self appointed mother of the house it was time for them all to get dressed and go do something, anything. 'And your not welcome back till tea, that's at 6. I'm doing chicken tonight'.
Sophie quickly got dressed in her room before crossing the hall and knocking on Sian's closed door. 'Come in' Sian shouted. Entering the room she saw Sian sitting on the bed, phone to her ear, 'It's Soph. Ryan says hi'. Sophie shouted in the general direction of the phone, 'Hi Ryan!' then sat at Sian's desk waiting for her to finish the phone call. 'I know I miss you too babe, but your coming for a visit soon aren't you? - Good, listen I gotta go, Jamie's going to go mental if we don't leave the house soon. Love ya!' Sian sent a kiss down the phone line before hanging up. 'So when's he coming?' Sophie asked, 'This weekend hopefully, that is if he can take the time off work, his boss is being a right pain in the arse at the moment' the blonde replied, grabbing her bag from the side and dropping her phone inside, 'You ready to go?'
'Just waiting for you like always!' Sophie ducked as Sian playfully slapped her arm before she left the room, 'Come on then' Sophie could hear Sian chuckling to herself as she jogged down the stairs. By the time Sophie had reached the older girl at the front door they had been joined by Jamie, linking their arms Sophie asked Jamie, 'How come we have to go out but you don't?'
'Cos I guarantee you I've been there, done that already! And Sian has to look after you, don't want you getting lost do we?' He winked and pushed them out the door. Pleased with his morning's work so far he hummed the wedding march under his breath as he went back to the kitchen.
As they made their way to the Student Union Sophie peppered Sian with questions about University, so quickly in fact that the blonde only managed to answer about half of them. It only took 10 minutes to reach the city on the bus but Sian was exhausted by the time they turned the corner onto the street where the SU was situated. Sophie stopped walking and talking at the same time as she looked down the road though, making Sian worried, 'What's wrong?' she asked, 'Really? Trams? Nottingham has trams? Do they follow me around or something?' Sophie groaned as memories flooded back from the tram crash at the end of her road a couple of years previously. 'Sorry babe, I'd forgotten all about them. Are you ok?' Sian comforted the younger girl, 'If it helps, they don't go anywhere near our place!'
Sophie grinned, she knew she was being silly really, besides as long as she had Sian it was fine. 'Course I am, just – It's just weird that's all!'
They girls wandered happily round the student union for a couple of hours, looking at the stalls that had been set up with groups they might want to join, before their stomach's simultaneously began to grumble. Deciding that they didn't much want to join anything just yet and that food was far more important at the moment anyway Sian decided to take Sophie off to her favourite Weatherspoon's in town for dinner.
They hadn't gone far when they bumped into Mike, the rugby dude, looking lost, 'Hiya, you ok?' Sian asked, 'Yeah I think so. I just signed up to the rugby club, it looks great but I don't know what to do next. Think I might go home for some dinner.' Sian laughed, 'Jamie may be gay but you go home now and I guarantee you you won't be playing rugby this year. Maybe not even next year either.' Sophie giggled at the grimace on Mike's face, 'Apparently we're going to Weatherspoon's. Why don't you come with us?'
The trio enjoyed themselves so much over dinner that they ended up spending the afternoon splashing in and out of the fountain on the market square before returning, laughing, home just before 6. 'Honey, we're home!' Sian shouted through to Jamie. 'Have a good day?' he shouted back, 'I'm not shouting to him all night, I'm heading through to the kitchen to talk to him properly, you guys want anything?' Then, when they shook their heads she left them alone.
'Well today went well, think I might have found a boyfriend for Soph at last' Sian told Jamie as he finished cooking tea, 'What? Who?' Jamie spun round to look at her. 'Mike, they've been getting on like a house on fire all afternoon. They're currently occupied in the living room debating the merits of rugby versus football' Sian grabbed a mug and put the kettle on, 'Want a cuppa?'
Jamie stuck his head out the kitchen door to see if what Sian had said was true before coming back and facing the blonde, 'Nope it's never going to work.' He said confidently, 'What makes you say that?' Sian asked puzzled, she was absolutely certain there had been flirting on both sides and they clearly liked each other. 'Because I already have the perfect person in mind for Sophie, might take a bit of time to get them together, it's going to take a lot of careful planning but you'll see soon.'
'Don't talk in riddles Jay, who is it? I need to make sure he's going to treat my Sophie right and I'm not going to let you set her up with a scum bag' Sian was indignant and it showed in her body language as well as her voice. 'I'm not going to tell you! I don't want to spoil the surprise, besides this person is so perfect for her that you will not believe you didn't see it before' Jamie was enjoying teasing his friend, 'Hah! so I know him already do I?'
Jamie turned away from her then, unable to stop himself smiling, 'Go shout everyone down, tea's ready'
