Disclaimer: I don't own CATCF!
Chapter 9 - I am updating quickly! Basically because I want to get this story finished soon, but... Meh, I apologise for it's rubbishness, character wrecking... and the occasional bit of swearing.
Also, I think there's only like 2 or 3 more chapters to go now Sian, and I roughly know what's gonna happen - So YAY!
Steph hung up the phone and after taking another glance at the unconscious Sian, decided she'd finally go get her noodles! She walked into the kitchen, poured the boiling water over the noodles and then placed the bowl in the microwave, setting the timer for 3 minutes.
Steph then walked back into the living room, stepping over Tini, who was in the way as usual, and walked into the hallway with the chocolate buttons.
She looked around for a few seconds then spied Draco in a boot and lifted him out. She rolled her eyes as Laurel continued hammering on the door. She put the chocolates in her pocket, held Draco in one arm, and then opened the front door – After putting it on the latch of course.
"Who the FUCK are you?" Laurel screamed, lunging pathetically at Steph, who was very safely out of harms way.
"Oh I know! It was never a boy! It was YOU! The LESBIAN TART!" Laurel ranted and raved. Steph responded with another roll of her eyes and cleared her throat.
"When
you have composed yourself – You mad bitch, I will explain." She
said calmly, watching with delight as Laurel froze out of
shock.
"Thank you, my name is Steph, your friendly uninvited
house guest, and this is Draco, your friendly, uninvited house
ferret! But he belongs to Sian, oh by the way, Tini – your friendly
uninvited house cat, is asleep in one of your sitting room chairs!
But don't worry, she's my pet!" Steph grinned, watching as
Laurel's sanity crumbled away.
"And just so you know, I'm not having an affair with your daughter, but thank you for inquiring! She is going out with Mike Teavee, the boy you were searching for this morning as he was injured and Sian was trying to get him to a hospital. Now I just thought to tell you – if you REALLY wanna get in, why not just jump through one of the windows you keep smashing?" Steph stopped speaking, and watched as Laurel's mouth opened and closed like a fish.
Steph then shut the door and moved back through the living room as she slowly counted to 10, placing Draco and Tini in Tini's cage as she did so, watching as the pair stared blankly at each other before curling up to sleep.
"3…2…1…"
"FUCKING HELL!" Steph heard Laurel scream in pain and anger from outside – Steph took the bowl of noodles out of the microwave with oven gloves as it pinged. Maybe I should have told her to make sure there was no excess glass round the window to hurt her hands on? Steph thought to herself with a sly smile…
Mike looked up at the clock ad he sat back on his bed – 1:55pm give or take a minute. He basically had 4 hours to kill… Oh joy.
He looked over at Nicole who was sat in the chair, turned away from him, listening to some music.
"Nicole?" He asked as he laid down, kicking her chair with his foot lightly to get her attention – one of the perks of his extra spin frame.
"What do you want." She spat sulkily.
"Look, I don't think anything I do should be determined by you, and just because your acting like a spoilt brat, it doesn't give you the right to say, who I can and can't talk to on the phone, as well as who I can and can't meet up with!" As soon as the words left Mike's mouth, he groaned.
"YOU'RE MEETING UP WITH HER?" Nicole screeched in horror. "DAAAAAAAAAAAD!" She hollered, fleeing the room.
"Looks like I'm checking out early." He muttered as he quickly changed into some clean clothes of his that his parents had brought, grabbed his school bag, and left the room.
He made his way as unnoticeably as he could, down the corridor and through the door which led to the emergency staircase, when he reached the bottom he slipped out, past reception, and out into the cold, January afternoon.
He flagged down a taxi and after ignoring the strange looks and embarrassing comments, gave the Taxi driver the address of the bus stop – He'd rather wait there till 6pm than go to Sian's house – They all sounded like complete nutters!...
Steph put a spoonful of noodles into her mouth and after savouring the taste, bent down next to the still unconscious Sian, and with her now spoon-less hand (it was in the bowl) she slapped Sian round the face.
"AHHHHOWWW! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" Sian yelled as she sat up and held her hand up to her left cheek, where she'd been slapped.
"To wake you up." Steph replied simply.
"Oh CHEERS for that, I… Oh. My God!" Sian spluttered suddenly.
"I take it you remember our little phone call with Mike?"
"WHAT DID YOU DO!" Sian screamed in blind panic.
"Calm down for Danny's sake!" Steph sighed, she opened her mouth to say something else, then paused and giggled at the word 'Danny'. "…Right… Where was I?... Oh yeah! Mike's meeting you for a date at 6pm at the bus stop down the road." Steph watched with glee as a cross between insanity and euphoria crossed over Sian's face.
"I also kinda explained stuff to your mum, but then I caused her to cut her hand on broken glass – so I think leaving soon would be a good idea." Steph explained as she took another mouthful of noodles.
"Oh, and I found Draco!" She added, nodding towards Tini's basket with housed the aforementioned cat, and a sleeping Draco.
"Oh thank Satan!" Sian gasped as she knelt down next to the cage.
Suddenly they heard an engine revving and looked out to find Laurel sat in her car, and driving towards the front door.
"THIS IS FOR MAKING ME MISS THE SHOPPING TRIP WITH THE GIRLS!" Laurel screamed, looking not unlike Cruella DeVil or some other clinically insane woman.
"Time to go." Steph and Sian said simultaneously as Sian grabbed the cage, and Steph her bag, and the pair legged it out of the back door, just in time as Laurel crashed the car through the front door and into the hallway.
Sian and Steph scampered round the side of the house… temporary demolition site, and over the fence, they surveyed the damage.
"I can't believe she just drove her car into the house!" Sian exclaimed in disbelief.
"I can't believe she made me drop my noodles!" Steph replied angrily.
Laurel, who was magically fine, climbed out of the car and staggered towards the girls.
"Hey Steph, how about a little run?" Sian asked as she backed away.
"Excellent idea!" Steph replied as they turned and ran as fast as they could down the snowy road…
