The Sleepover

He called around 6p.m. to say that he was having five friends to stay. I did not react so sweetly to that. They are such a lovely bunch though. Especially Jimmy with the goatee. He has been sitting at my counter since before his little legs could reach the floor. I have such a sweet spot for that boy.

I tried not to notice the skittles stuck to the sofa, the blood all over the pillow (an elbow to Raf's nose) and the bottle of booze moved out of the drinks cupboard. It was so nice to hear the kid laughing.
