Daisies - NEIL SUTHERLAND

042

"Oh hey Jay I didn't know you were here"

Clara smiled as she entered the kitchen area to where Will, Neil, and Jay stood.

"Jesus Christ Clara" Will spoke, referring to the fact she was wearing nothing but his mother's fluffy dressing gown. "Jesus Neil, aren't you lucky" Jay winked at Clara, while Neil just happily nodded his head as his eyes were stuck on Clara.

"Why are you in my mum's robe?" Will asked annoyed. "I was about to take a bath" Clara explained.

"Oh ok...why are you taking a bath!?!"

"Cause yours is much nicer than mine. It has candles and all that" Clara explained like it was obvious.

"Can I join?" Neil asked, excited by the possibility.

"No. no one is taking a bath, it's a waste of water" Will ordered and Clara just sighed. She turned to Neil who was still staring at her, the piece of toast in his hand about to slip out. "Neil love" She pointed down to his toast, but he misread her point.

"No, I swear it's not a boner" he promised, though from the way he was crossing his legs, he most likely was lying. "I meant the toast" she shook her head at his antics. He moved his head to look at the toast, snapping out of the trance. "Oh right. Here y'are, Jay." He chucked the piece of toast, which landed face down on the table.

"Cheers."

"Can you try and be a bit tidier, please?" Will pleaded, moving to clean up the mess. "I tell you what won't be tidy, your mum's tits. I bet Fergus is covering them in spooge right now." Jay joked and Neil laughed.

"Can we not talk about this?" Will complained.

"Do you want any toast love?" Neil questioned Clara who moved over to stand next to him "I'm alright" she smiled, resting her head on his shoulder

"Hey Chuck us a drink, Neil," Jay ordered from the boy. "No one is chucking anything. If you want a drink, then pour yourself a glass." Will ordered, sick of the group's disrespect to his house. "The glasses are up there."

"God, it's like staying at The Ritz," Jay complained as he reluctantly got up to grab himself a glass. Clara could feel Neil absentmindedly playing with her hair, which was usually a sign that they would be having a 'private moment' soon. She couldn't help but blush slightly. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of smashing glass as Jay harshly opened the dishwasher.

"Oh, for God's sake! Right, we're going out." Will ordered.

"Out where?"

"I don't care. Outside. Out of here." Will ordered. "Fucking hell, I'll buy you a new glass if you're going to get so menstrual about it." Jay rolled his eyes.

"It's not about the glass. You're like a plague of toast-eating locusts." Will was enraged.

"Fine, we'll go out." Jay seemed to get na idea. "Neil, I think it's time we took Will on a pussy patrol. We haven't got one since you got the old ball and chain" Jay pointed to Clara who raised an eyebrow. "Thank, love you too Jay" she gave him a fake smile.

"Don't worry love, I won't go near any of the birds. I got morals" Neil smiled at her. She smiled back, not having the heart to tell him that there weren't going to be any birds to turn down.

"Are you coming along?" Jay invited Clara who shook her head.

"You go do your boy thing, I'll stay back and keep an eye on the house."

"You're not allowed to take a bath" Will ordered to the girl as jay pushed him out. Clara nodded along waving goodbye to the boys.

"Have fun"
