Rae walks into the door of her mum and dad's house calling out that she was there then suddenly her sister, who looks just like Rae but with Karim's eyes and a smaller build than Rae, came running up to her excitedly, Rae bent down to grab and lift her in a tight hug. Linda came downstairs in her uniform; she grabbed her purse from the side table by the door and tuned to Rae.
"Oh pet, Karim dropped off the dry cleaning this morning before going to work so you should be able to get your dress Monday," Linda informed Rae as she dug out her keys. "Karim should be home tonight at around nine. Alright I have to go bye girls." Jazz leaned over to give Linda a hug bye.
"Bye mummy." Jazz let go so Linda could walk out the door to work waving bye as she went. Rae closed the door behind and let Jazz down who then ran to the lounge and grabbed a cd.
"Rae can we listen to this?" Rae looked that it was one of her Oasis cd's she brought to listen to. Rae nodded yes, proud of herself for educating her sister on good music taste.
"So what do ya want to do while we listen to the music?" Jazz crossed her arms but raised one hand putting her finger to her chin leaning her head side ways scrunching up her face in thought. Rae found her sister so cute when she did this. Finally Jasmine decided on coloring and got all the things they needed whilst Rae made them chocolate milk. The rest of the morning was spent coloring than putting puzzles together and listening to music. In the early afternoon Jazz fell asleep giving Rae time to breathe and read one of her very steamy romances novels. Once Jazz woke up a couple of hours later they ate a late lunch and went out to play.
Rae runs after her energetic sister in the back garden laughing and giggling as they play tag. Finally Rae catches her sister and they collapse on the grass catching their breaths and start looking at the cloud formations.
"Rae that looks like a bear." Little Jasmine said in her tiny sweet voice. She pointed out the cloud to Rae who looked at it squinting her eyes trying to see it.
"Yeah It does, oh Jazz that one looks like a dragon." Rae pointed to the one next to it as Jazz took a look.
"Oh no it's after the bear we need a prince to save the bear!" Jazz said worriedly.
"But the bear can save itself because what the dragon doesn't know it the bear is a secret knight and can take on the beast," Jazz looked on in wonderment as her sister tells the tale. "So the bear does but finds that the dragon is really friendly and didn't mean to scare the bear but really was looking for a friend."
"So did they become friends?" Jazz looked on with wide eyes and hope in her voice.
"Yes they did. The dragon tells the bear that all his life people have been scared of him because of his looks and never wanted to be his friend, he was quite lonely because of it. The bear couldn't understand this because to the bear the dragon was beautiful with its scales of emerald greens and aqua blues, eyes that shined like gold and though he was cool for being able to breathe fire. The dragon couldn't believe this at first but soon he did and him and the bear went on many adventures together making more friends along the way." Rae finished her tale to a smiling jazz.
"So tell me about their adventures?" Jazz pleaded as Rae huffed out a laugh at her sisters enthusiasm and tried to think of an adventure for the bear and the dragon. A voice from the sliding glass door startled them for a minute but then Jazz got up running to the person the voice belonged to.
"Daddy!" Jazz ran to Karim as Rae got up to meet her dad confusion on her face.
"Dad what ya doin' here so early I thought ya had to work?" Karim looked warmly at his two daughters as he picked up his youngest.
"Ah boss needed to go to anniversary with wife and let everyone go early. So can watch Jazz if there something you wanted to do tonight instead." Karim explained as he retreated back into the house with jazz in his arms with Rae following after him to the kitchen when he put Jazz down to start something for dinner.
"Yeah I can go to this rav…" Rae trailed as she remembered that her last nice dress was at the drycleaners that she brought with her to Tunisia for the wedding and gave it to her mum when she offered to clean it and another outfit for her with Linda's other stuff. And even if that wasn't a problem the fact she had no ride there became anther one "No I can't. Well it looks like I'll be staying in with you two tonight." Rae put on a happy face but you could see the disappointment in her eyes.
"Why can't you go?" Karim asked as he took out ingredients to make what he wanted. He paused to look at Rae whilst Jazz was busy coloring.
"My red dress is at the drycleaners and I don't have anything to wear to the rave my mates are going to plus no way to get there." Karim suddenly gave Rae a wide eyed look whilst holding one finger up than leaving the room to come back a few minutes latter carrying a garment bag.
"My dress how?" Rae gasped and covered her mouth in surprise, Karim gave it to her as she took it feeling overwhelmed.
"Me and owner are friends and he did favor for me by getting your mothers things clean today. I'm taking Linda out Monday for anniversary, I was going to pick them up on my break but then boss let us go early."
"Oh dad I'm so happy you're friends with him, I need to go change." Rae gave Karim a hug.
"Rae you can also borrow the car but bring it tomorrow before noon."
"Thanks dad, I will." Rae whispers in his ear before letting go and went upstairs grabbing her mum's curling iron on the way to the bathroom, I've got to thank Chloe for getting me to keep some makeup basics in my purse. Rae changed into her red wrap dress in the bathroom and curled her hair lightly at the ends; she put on some mascara, a light dusting of eye shadow, and lip gloss.
"It's fucking embarrassing how good I look some days," Rae said to herself in the mirror. " Ok Rae let operation forget the dickhead commence." Rae was determined to confront Finn about not calling her and move on if he didn't want her although a small voice inside her said she didn't want that. Rae sent out a quick text to Izzy and made her way downstairs. Karim and Jazz told her she look beautiful and to have fun before they said their goodbyes and Rae headed to the rave.
"Hey Chop the fairy wings are a nice touch." Chloe teased as Chop gave her a sarcastic smile before starting the car after picking her up for the rave.
"So mate why are ya wearing them?" Archie asked sitting next to Chloe in the back of Chop's car.
"I lost a bet to Izzy." Chop looked over to Izzy sitting next to him who smirked at him than looked at her phone when it buzzed, she opened it and smiled the most bight smile anyone has ever seen.
"Chloe, Rae is coming to the rave tonight she's meeting us there." Chloe instantly brightened up at the news. Archie looked at his phone as it buzzed opening it.
"Hey Chop we have to head to Finn's and pick him up." Chop looked at Archie though the review mirror with furrowed brows.
"Why"
"Didn't say, just to pick him up"
"Well I'm glad he's comin' I'd like to ask why he didn't call me best mate this week." Chloe said angrily crossed her arms with a surly look as Izzy nodded her head in solidarity with her friend.
"How was he suppose to call if she didn't leave a number?" Archie said in defense of his friend. Both girls looked confused.
"She said she did." Chloe replied looking with a sneer at Archie who looked confused now along with Chop.
"Well he said she didn't!" Archie snapped back this stated a back and forth between the girls and guys until Chop raised his voice.
"Oi, Oi we're goin' to Finn's, we'll find out what's goin' on there then find Rae at the rave and they can work it out, agreed?" Everyone grunted an agreement but the ride to Finn's was very quite and filled with angry tension the rest of the way.
A/N:
Well that looks like a fun car ride. Oh I do wonder what Finn wanted and why he wanted Chop to come by. *again whistles and twiddles thumbs*
