Rae and Ben locked the door to Archie and Finn's flat and posted the spare key through the letter box before they got the bus back to Rae's house.
They formulated a plan on the journey. Ben was to rush to the kitchen and make them both tea and toast whilst Rae phoned Chloe. Then Rae would share all the details with Ben over breakfast.
But it didn't go exactly as planned because they forgot that Rae's mum Linda worked unusual shifts and was hanging about when they got there. Linda was relieved when she finally saw the pair safe and sound. She made them breakfast to butter them up as she needed them to collect Jaz from school. Linda had been panicking. She'd been asked to change shifts and had already told the school that Rae would be picking Jaz up. Ben was chuffed to be asked and couldn't wait to see the little girl. He even offered to cook everyone dinner to apologise for his absence.
When Linda finally hurried off to work mid-morning, Rae finally got round to calling Chloe, but she'd completely forgotten that she still attended college for another couple of weeks. Rae would just have to be patient and probe for details later.
After they both freshened up and grabbed a change of clothes, Ben and Rae settled in to work on their script. They weren't sure whether it was going to be a one off story, or a whole series so they decided to write a plot outline and character relationship profiles first. They had decided it would be a comedy about three friends that lived together and ended up having a great deal of one-night stands for different reasons. One feared commitment so only sex without ties, another just wanted love but couldn't find it and the other was a nympho who just wanted sex all the time. They were elated with the premise and decided to call it The One Nighters.
Between them they had quite a lot of material but most of their own personal experiences were frightful; they needed more information about successful one night stands so decided that Finn might be able to provide some interesting stories to add to their collection.
Ben and Rae were pretty pleased with what they had come up with and packed their writings away so they could fetch little Jasmine from school at 3:15 pm. She was delighted to see them waiting for her and ran straight to Rae. Rae lifted her into her arms and gave her a hug and kiss then passed her to Ben who spun her around asking about her day. She said it was all the better for seeing them, and Ben lifted her so she was sat on his shoulders with a leg dangling either side of his head.
Ben insisted on taking Jaz to the park on the way home and was awarded a big kiss of gratitude from the little girl. They watched her play for a good hour and had to coax her away by promising sweets when they visit the shop for the ingredients to make dinner.
Ben started preparing the dinner when they arrived back at the Bouchtat residence while Rae helped Jasmine with her reading books. Ben was such a good cook and dished them up delicious shepherd's pie, leaving a plate for both Karim and Linda to have when they returned. It wasn't long before Karim was home and getting Jasmine ready for bed so Rae crept off to ring Chloe.
She wasn't on the phone long as Chloe was just about to go out on a date with Mark. She said Mark was insistent that Rae should still go for training the next morning and that she'd give her all of the juicy details on the next evening at Rae's first evening shift. Her friend sounded really happy so she was pleased for her; even if Rae and Ben thought Mark was a bit on the soppy side. She would just have to wait one more day for all the gossip, but she would have to warn Ben it might be serious so he wouldn't be allowed to take the mick. Ben had this habit when he found somebody ridiculous, he couldn't stop giggling at them even when they knew he was doing it; he just couldn't help it.
The friends slobbed out on the sofa and doubled up on reality tv watching both Survivor and Big Brother. They even had a minor disagreement when Ben said Brian Dowling was really annoying and Rae thought he was really sweet and funny.
Rae went up to bed while Ben stayed up to phone Archie and watch some late night live Big Brother.
The next morning Rae had to rise at 10:00 am and prepare for her training session at The Basement with the dreaded Mark. She needed to shower and find something decent to wear. She thought she heard Chloe say something about an eighties night at the club so decided to wear a black bat wing top and some bangles from when she was a kid with her usual jeans. She was due to learn the ropes during the lunch time shift from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm so she was prepared for the evening shift that would start at 6:30 pm.
Ben dropped her off at the club in his bright green Citreon. Rae always loved going out in that car with him as they would open the top and blare their favourite tunes at top volume and sing their lungs out. They pulled up just at the end of 'Sing' by Travis. Ben said he was going to leave her out the front because he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't laugh at Mark if he went in with her. He kissed her cheek and goosed her bottom wishing her good luck as she clambered out of his car.
Rae felt nervous to see Mark again and her palms were sweating slightly just thinking about it. She loitered outside for a while but then tentatively pushed on the large door at the front of the club which opened with a creak. She poked her head round the frame and Mark rushed to greet her. "There you are. We've been waiting for yer." He pointed to another girl who looked a similar age as Rae with exactly the same glossy, dark hair as her. She was a big girl too but all of her curves where in different places. She had very small waist but large bum, hips and thighs. She was absolutely gorgeous.
Rae smiled at them both. "I'm really sorry, I've been stood outside like a lemon for ten minutes not realising the door weren't locked." She nervously chuckled.
Mark laughed. "Don't worry Rae, everyone does that on their first shift. I always forget to say. Fiona here said the same."
Fiona nodded and chuckled and told Rae she was happy to meet her.
They were both fast learners and picked up what needed to be done quickly. They spent most of their first shift laughing and chatting. When the shift was over and Fiona had left, Mark apologised to Rae for being a soppy dick and thanked her for introducing him to Chloe. His eyes glazed over when he spoke of Chloe and Rae hoped that Chloe reciprocated his feelings or she would be lumbered with him.
Rae headed to the library so she could research stories for her script using the computer there between shifts. Time went so quickly that she had to head straight for her evening shift without having any dinner first. She hurried up the road and arrived at the same time as Fiona.
When they walked in Mark warned them that it might be busier than the usual Tuesday night as it was eighties boogie night. Fiona squealed with happiness and dragged Rae to the staff loo's to apply bright coloured eye shadow, pink blusher and bright pink lip stick. The girls mucked about giggling and making pouting faces in the mirror before they went to check on their tills.
The first half an hour was slow and was spent with them busying themselves with cleaning jobs they'd already done earlier. So Rae breathed a sigh of relief when the first group of punters finally appeared and she could put away the broom.
The customers went straight up to Rae and ordered 6 pints of lager. She was pleased that it wasn't a difficult order and Fiona helped her pull the pints, immediately going into flirt mode with the group of older lads. Rae really liked Fiona, She was really fun and could definitely teach her a thing or two about flirting.
There was a steady flow of customers to the bar keeping them busy. Some were dressed in amusing eighties garb. The girls mostly in luminous colours, ra ra skirts and flicked hair. The few blokes that took part looked looked like they'd stepped off the set of Miami Vice.
Rae was actually enjoyed herself and she was especially pleased when the gang arrived and went straight up to her with supportive hugs and kisses and placed their orders. She introduced them to Fiona and set about preparing the weird concoctions they'd clearly ordered to tax her. She handed out their cocktails saving Finn's 'sex on the beach' until last. She waited through the expected answer that he didn't want the drink, he just wanted to have sex on the beach with her. She told him it wasn't going to happen but he could come round and help her with the One Nighters script. He agreed telling her he had so many stories to help out; like Sunday night with Lizzy for example. Boasted that he'd fucked her brains out and she cried out for more. Rae thought that was unusual. Lizzy told her he couldn't get it up and had to drink from her furry cup to make up for it. Rae shrugged and accepted the lie and asked if he could come to her house one day and share some stories with her and Ben. He said he knocked off early on a Thursday and would be around just after 2:00 pm.
Chloe had been patiently waiting to speak to Rae and grabbed her arm when Finn moved to the side to chat to Archie and Ben and Chop. "Talking of good sex Rae, I've just two of the best nights of my life!" Chloe chuckled waggling her eyebrows. "Yer know Mark is the perfect partner for somebody who's bossy in bed." She pointed as herself when she said somebody who's bossy. "He does exactly what he's told!" She laughed as she breathed on her nails and rubbed them on her bright pink ra ra dress. "I rode his face three times on Sunday night!" She chuckled some more looking so pleased with herself that Rae, Izzy and Fiona all joined with her infectious laughter.
When the girls giggles subsided Chloe became reflective. "So you don't think I'm a saddo for going with him then?" She questioned looking unsure.
"Of course not honey. He just weren't right for me. If he makes you happy, ride his face until you can't stand up straight!" She laughed reassuring her friend. "I think it's just me! I don't think I'm ever gonna cum with a man inside me!" Her mouth turned downwards accepting her defeat.
Everyone apart from Chloe and Ben gasped not fully realising she'd never been satisfied in that way. Finn looked a little upset and confused by the revelation but before he could vocalise, Archie mentioned a tutor at work that would be perfect for her. He'd just been divorced so wasn't looking for anything serious. He liked to take girls out for meal and enjoy their company and then show them a good time, but that was it. Rae was really happy and asked him to set it up.
Finn looked tense; he was gnawing on the inside of his mouth and fists were slightly clenched. He looked like he wanted to punch Archie.
Fiona sympathised. "It's so hard to just find a sexy man to give you what you need though isn't it?" She stared intently at Finn. "I just want a really hot bloke to disrespect me, use me and send me on my way!" She licked her bottom lip still eyeing up Finn.
Rae looked shocked at her new friend. "Is that really what you want?"
"Yeah, of course. I don't want any namby pamby meal and drinks beforehand like you'll be having with the teacher before he screws yer. Just animal lust and a good hard fuck."
The corner of Finn's mouth quirked into a cheeky smile and he gruffly agreed and loudly stated that he would quite happily disrespect her after her shift. She nodded and he then sauntered off to join a group of lads that were singing and moshing to The Jam in the corner leaving Rae slack jawed and perplexed.
"Looks like your wish has been granted me dear." Chop smirked and winked at Fiona. "I hear Finny boy is the best."
She laughed with anticipation and thanked Rae for having such a sexy friend. Rae said it was lucky she liked being disrespected because Finn was the perfect bloke for the job.
"I'll let you know how it goes. But if yer ever want me to organise a hook up for yer, I know a couple of trust worthy lads great for one nighters. They failed terribly at the disrespecting stuff, but they'd definitely make you cum." She smiled and went back to preparing cocktails.
Rae didn't know why, but she spent the rest of her shift feeling slightly irked. She was annoyed that the arrogant knob head was going to 'disrespect' her new friend and it would more than likely make things awkward. It didn't help that she missed dinner and was ravenous. Her tummy was growling like an angry bear and the most annoying thing was every time she looked up from her work Finn was looking at her.
At 11:30pm Mark told them they'd done a great job and that he'd finish cleaning up if they wanted to go. Rae headed to the staff room to collect her stuff and was surprised to see Mark holding a small warm package wrapped in Newspaper. "Erm, Finn asked me to give you these chips for your journey home. Said he was concerned about you, thought you looked tired. Erm, then he slapped Fi on the arse and told her to get her big arse moving if she wanted some fun." He grimaced recalling what Finn said. Rae just giggled and took the chips from him and went to find the rest of her friends.
The rest of her friends walked her home sharing her chips on the way. They left her at her house with sloppy kisses saying they would see her the following evening on her next shift.
The very next day was a very relaxing one for Rae. She had stayed in bed all morning and then spent ages updating her dairy. She hadn't even been home a week yet and it took her hours to recount everything that had happened so far.
After a relaxing meal with her family Rae dressed in a simple blue jersey cap sleeved tunic and leggings. The outfit she wore the previous day had been just too heavy and hot. She sweated buckets and didn't feel in a particularly good mood feeling overheated and hungry.
She had no plans for drinking during her shift, so borrowed her mums car for the night. Rae arrived at the bar and was welcomed by the owner of the club Scott. He introduced himself and looked directly down her top when he did. She looked him up and down in return; he must have been really tall because he towered over her which people didn't often do. He was quite a plain looking chap with mousy coloured hair and a long face to match his physique but he had a charm and wit about him that Rae really liked. Scott explained that Mark didn't work Wednesday nights so he always came in case he was needed. But he did say it was always quiet and he always ended up drunk with his fiancé Candace. He pointed over to the blonde girl that Finn was dancing with on Friday night.
"Oh yeah, I recognise her from the other night. She was dancing with one of me mates."
He grinned wildly. "Are you friends with Finn?" He chuckled. "My gal's got the hots for him so bad. He keeps refusing us a threesome so has a bit of a dance with her as a favour for me."
"What and you don't mind?" Rae's eyebrows dipped in the middle trying to fathom it.
"Course not. She loves us, but sometimes a bit of flirting spices up your life." He gave her a wink and patted her on the shoulder. "I better go and see what's happened to the other new girl." He said as he walked off towards the front door.
Fiona came rushing in shouting her apologies. She introduced herself to Scott and went to dump her stuff in the staff room. She returned grinning saying she'd been in a sex coma all day recovering from her night with Finn. Rae forced out a giggle not understanding why it annoyed her. Rae was ashamed of herself for feeling irritated she'd never been territorial over her friends before and was always happy that her girlfriends were having good sex, even if she wasn't. She reminded herself she was supposed to be meeting Archie's friend Dave soon and that would sort her little problem.
"He were good then?" She questioned and smiled.
"Oh Rae it were ammaaaaazzzing! We walked back to his place at speed and in silence. I went to speak to him and he just placed his index finger over his lips and shushed me, told me to keep my eyes facing front; it were thrilling. So we entered his flat and he told us to strip naked in the lounge while he went into his bedroom. He said he had to fetch something and I better be naked by the time he returned. I've never dropped me clothes so quickly before in me life, the anticipation were delicious. He came back telling me I'd been a good girl and told me to put on this top. It was really pretty and lacey but it was sexy and all. I slipped it on giggling with excitement and he told us to shut up or I'd be going straight home. I were so aroused; there was no way I was going home without some action so I buttoned it shut. He looked me up down and then back down at me tits. He pulled on the v of the top and grabbed me baps rubbing his thumbs over me nips. I gasped in pleasure and he shushed us again. He said these would have to do as he squeezed me boobs harder and then he flipped us round telling me to put my enormous, beautiful arse in the air. He fucked us hard and it was unfucking believable. I came so hard my legs gave out and I landed in a heap on the floor. He asked if it were too disrespectful and I replied it were perfect. He said good, you can let yourself out then and zipped his flies up and walked towards his bedroom. He stopped when he reached the door and told us not to forget to take his top off and then he disappeared while I was still panting on the floor." She was still smiling and laughing when she finished the story.
Rae held her hand over her mouth not knowing how to feel. She was surprised her friend enjoyed being treated that way and weirdly impressed with how Finn was able to satisfy her. But she was also annoyed at the way he used her top. She felt like he was trying to annoy her and it really pissed her off that it did. "So he didn't make sure you got home alright?" She questioned still feeling weird.
"When I got out front, there were a taxi waiting for us. I think that were the best sex I ever had in me life. I went straight to me room and passed out when I got home. It's such a shame he only does one night stands because I would line up in a queue to get some more of that."
Rae still felt disconcerted by the whole thing. She told Fi she was happy for her, but she really wasn't sure if she was. She was glad when Ben, Archie, Izzy and Chop arrived to take her mind off it.
They ordered normal pints off her instead of trying to make life difficult. Rae thought that Ben could detect she was feeling a little spaced out so was being kind for that reason.
Archie said that his mate Dave was up for meeting and asked when she was free. She scanned her diary seeing that she was working both Friday and Saturday and opted for the Monday after. Archie said that Dave would book the restaurant and pass on the details. Rae was pleased to have something to look forward to as she was feeling a little deflated by all of the successful sex that was happening around her.
Izzy butted in. "Well not everyone's sex is successful." She squeaked and Chop gave her a wounded look like she'd just stabbed him in the heart. "Not you, yer div! Finn! He said he didn't fancy Fi at all! Said he had to fuck her from behind to get a boner." Izzy blurted and Chop giggled.
"Yeah he said he had to imagine she were someone else. He felt so bad about it, he didn't want to show his face tonight." Chop continued to laugh and Izzy slapped him on the arm.
"Well, she thought it were great so I don't think he should be worried." Rae added feeling even more confused.
"He'll be relieved when we let him know. Also he said to tell yer that he'll be around an hour earlier than he said he would be tomorrow."
Rae said that was cool and felt more relaxed than she had all day. The end of the shift came quickly as she gossiped with her friends all evening whilst serving the odd pint.
The gang decided to head back to their respective homes and Ben confessed that he'd received any angry call from his family saying how cross they were that he hadn't visited yet. He said he would have to head to Peterborough first thing to get back for their meeting with Finn in the afternoon. Rae kissed his cheek and wished him luck saying he could always tell them about Archie.
Ben's parents didn't have the slightest problem when Ben came out as gay, but his mum was always questioning about his love life and asking when he was going to settle down. So telling her he had met someone would resolve any bad feeling but he wasn't sure if Archie was ready for that sort of commitment yet.
He replied that he would only drop Arch in it if he really had to and wished her good night.
Rae headed home eager for her bed, relieved that the day was over. She was more than ready for her day off even if she did have to spend it hearing about Finn's shannigans.
