fuck you, peachy | skins

6. Cook

"I'm sorry for showing up at your work completely blazed yesterday," Freddie's eyes narrowing as he smiles, pivoting in his seat to face Ayla.

"Its fine Freddie" Ayla chuckles dunking another shot before smirking at him. 

"Is it true you really dated JJ in year five?" he says leaning in closer so JJ doesn't hear. She snickers.

"Yeah. I don't see why its a big deal. The most 'sexual' thing that ever happened was he said he was gonna perform a magic trick which would remove my training bra and well he just tried unclipping it but he couldn't even figure out how to" Ayla says moving closer to Freddie as Cook watches them both from the other side of the table.

"That's J for you. I bet even if he managed to get it off he wouldn't know what to do next" Freddie smiles.

"He's a sweetheart. He'll figure it out one day for sure" Ayla replies smiling faintly, her eyes trailing towards the tavern door as it clicks open and in walks Naomi.

"Great, its the lesbian come to gay us up" Katie rolls her eyes. Naomi can hear Katie but walks over anyways used to Katie's foul comments.

"Shush. I told you to just fucking shut up" Emily whispers to Katie. Cook grins, having already figured out Emily's attraction to Naomi just as Ayla had. Naomi sits down next to Emily and twiddles her thumbs awkwardly, making Cook grin and lean over the table to talk to her.

"Want to know a secret?" he asks Naomi. Everyone is silent.

"What?" says Naomi looking at him with a polite smile on her face

"I know the cure," he says pointing at her

"Cure for what?"

"It's my cock" whispers Cook, pointing down to his dick as him and Katie laugh. Everybody else is quiet, used to Cook's idiotic behaviour.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Naomi asks with slight aggression before rolling her eyes. Cook sits back down in his seat and continues chuckling excessively.

"Shut the fuck up Cook," says Ayla. Cook stops laughing and looks at her.

"Just trying to help Naomi out here. I know this shit. I know the cure for this shit. I'm popular with the babes alright Ayla?" he replies. It was the first time Cook had used her name instead of calling her peachy.

"Shoving your dick in her is supposed to help her out?" Ayla asks as Cook nods joyfully. "And what the fuck would you know about being popular, didn't you invite half the college to this party of yours?". Cook looks genuinely defeated and glances down at the ground as everyone looks at each other awkwardly. Ayla felt a little bad for being so harsh but she knew Cook had to be put in his place.

"Hey um look what I made" Emily broke the silence by pulling out a cake she had made for Cook. Cook's attitude perked up immediately.

"Cake," he says his eyes widening as he leant forward to take it off her "Top man, fucking top"

"Its double chocolate chip cookie" Emily smiles passing it over to him. Ayla smiles lightly at her sister, thinking about how she is the nicest fucking girl in the world.

"Cheers girl," says Cook as he rubs his hands together preparing himself to dig in. JJ goes to take a chunk before Cook slaps his hand. "My cake," he says, looking around at all of them before looking back down at the cake.

"Umm I got you something too Cook," says Ayla, realising it was gonna be a bit fucking weird giving it to him now after she just had a go at him.

"Well, sorry babes but if it ain't your pussy I'm not interested," says Cook without looking at her as he digs his hands into the side of the cake and starts shovelling it into his mouth. Cook munches the cake down, glancing over to Emily and nodding in appreciation now and then. A few minutes later the whole cake is finished.
