Carrots pickled with a regular pickling brine, schezuan peppercorns, and black peppercorns go so hard. Also really interesting that the black peppercorns absorb the pickling liquid and become soft and much milder while taking on all the other flavors too.

bunjy recipe book: Tomato Braised Winter Veggies
you will need:
about 4 pounds of various root vegetables, roughly cut into big hunks. I used turnips, parsnips, and carrots, but you can use just about anything! try celeriac, sunchoke, radishes, golden beets, or regular potatoes (I would avoid regular beets, however)
about a pound of big mildly savory mushrooms like white button or portabella, cut into big wedges
two medium red onions, diced
1 15oz can petite diced tomatoes
1 15oz can tomato sauce
1 15oz can light red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp italian seasoning herb mix
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup water
cayenne or red pepper flakes to taste
salt and pepper to taste
a good glug of olive oil
a braising pan or dutch oven
NOTE: for a less chunky sauce, replace the diced tomatoes with another can of tomato sauce, and replace the diced red onion with a pound of peeled pearl onions.
so first, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and use a glug of good olive oil to totally coat the bottom of your cooking vessel. add in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, diced onions, garlic, italian seasoning, red wine vinegar, tomato paste, red pepper/cayenne, water, a good sprinkle of salt, and the kidney beans, and give it a good mix. slowly add in your chunked veg and mushrooms, turning to coat, until you've added them all or the pan is totally full, whichever comes first. put a lid or foil on top of your cooking vessel and cook at 350 for an hour and a half. once the time is up, remove the lid and crank the heat up to 375, and cook for another hour to an hour and a half, until the sauce is basically a paste and your veggie chunks are cooked through. add salt and pepper to taste.
serve warm with crusty bread.

Baby Sitter
chapters: | 1 | 2 |
"I have your shirt, Chris. See? Can't even tell it had coffee on it," you remarked, handing over his white tee as you stood on his doorstep.
"Wow, that's amazing," Chris gasped, holding it up and searching for the remnants of the mocha he'd spilled down the front of it, but there was no evidence of it having happened at all. "Thanks!" Chris replied, tossing the shirt over his shoulder.
"Dishsoap and white vinegar," you casually mentioned. "Good to know," Chris responded, leaning up against the door frame. "Whatcha got there?" He motioned towards the brown, paper bag you had clutched in your arm.
"I got you a couple of apartment warming gifts!" You announced, pulling out a fancy bottle of avocado oil from it. He gave you an inquisitive look as you passed it off. "You cook with it," you giggled, sensing his confusion.
"Right," Chris replied, pointing the bottle at you as if you said the words that were sitting at the tip of his tongue. "Thank you!" He added. "That's not all," you relayed, grabbing another fancy bottle from your shopping bag.
"Oh, I know what to do with this one," he chuckled, taking the rosé from you. "Yeah, I got you a big bottle. So you could share it with someone if you wanted," you suggested, nibbling on your bottom lip and flickering your gaze between his eyes and his mouth. He shrugged his shoulder.
"I-I don't know who I would share it with," he admitted, holding a bottle in each hand as he read the label on the avocado oil. You jokingly looked around as if you were about to volunteer a stranger from off the street, and then finally said, "I'm free. Maybe we could split it over dinner."
"Oh. Cool. Yeah. I don't have anything to eat here, though," he continued staring at the label, still completely oblivious to the fact that you were hoping he'd invite you into his apartment.
"Don't worry, Chris. I remember my first apartment. You're probably mostly living off of ramen and takeout. I figured you might like a home-cooked meal," you replied, gesturing towards your paper bag.
"Oh, that's nice of you," he said, staring at you like a deer in the headlights. "So. Can I come in, baby?" You finally asked, cocking your head to the side and batting your lashes in his direction.
"Yes. Please. Of course," he eagerly nodded, finally stepping to the side to let you in. He silently kicked himself as he slowly realized that's what you'd been alluding to with your body language the whole time you'd been standing on his door step.
You didn't mind, though. You found his social awkwardness endearing.
You entered his apartment, placing the bag on his marble countertop. "Hey, you cleaned. It looks really nice in here," you observed, smiling in his direction as you started to take off your fur coat.
"Thanks for noticing," Chris nervously replied, his eyes dropping to the low neck line of your powder blue top and the short hem of your tight, black skirt.
"Is spaghetti still your favorite, baby?" You asked him, slinging your coat over the back of a chair and pulling out the contents of the brown paper bag.
"It is. I haven't had homemade spaghetti in such a long time," Chris responded, unable to conceal his excitement, a smile spreading across his lips.
You rummaged through his cabinets, retrieving a pot, filling it with water, and bringing it to a boil on the stove. "Would you grab us some glasses for the wine?" You requested from the blue-eyed boy.
"Will red solo cups work?" Chris asked, opening his cabinet. You laughed. "Look in the bag. I came prepared," you responded, uncorking the wine. He reached into the bag, revealing two neatly wrapped glasses.
"You thought of everything, didn't you?" He asked, placing them delicately on the counter side-by-side. "The only thing I forgot is a condom. But I don't mind if you don't mind," you leaned in, softly purring into his ear. Chris nearly fell to his knees at your words.
"I-I don't mind," he stammered, wiping his sweaty hands off on the front of his sweatpants. You smirked, pouring a big glass for each of you.
"You ever had rosé before?" You inquired, corking the bottle back up. "No, I've never had wine before," he admitted, swirling the pink liquid around in the clear glass. You held your glass up, and he followed your lead.
"To all the firsts you're going to experience tonight," you seductively said as your glass softly clinked against his. He swallowed hard, his palms beginning to sweat again. You took a swig of your wine while you held your gaze on Chris, waiting for his reaction.
He hesitantly took a drink, but he was pleasantly surprised when he did. "It's sweet," he commented, nodding his head in approval.
"You like it?" You asked. "I do, actually," he told you before taking another sip. "You shaved," you observed, running the back of your hand over his soft face.
"I did. You noticed," he quietly replied, reaching up and touching his flushed cheek as a smile spread across his lips. He loved how attentive you were, pointing out all the things that most people missed.
"You know, I've missed you these past few days. I haven't been able to stop thinking about you," you admitted, taking his glass and setting it down on the counter next to yours. You placed your hand on his chest and leaned in to kiss his neck.
He bit back a moan, gently rolling his hips forward and pressing his erection against your hip. "I haven't been able to stop thinking about you either," he returned the sentiment, his shakey hand wandering to the small of your back.
You bit down and gently sucked on his soft flesh right above his collarbone as he melted into you. "You know, I brought dessert, too," you told him, your voice taking on a suggestive tone.
"What did you bring?" He eagerly asked, trying to glimpse into your bag as you kissed his neck. "It's not in there, silly boy," you teased him, lightly tapping the tip of his nose with your finger. "Where is it?" He smirked at you.
"It's right.." you started to say, gently grabbing his wrist. "Here," you cooed, putting his hand up your skirt. You rested his palm on your heat, his fingers grazing your clit as his breath caught in his throat.
"You're not wearing any panties," he observed in a low whisper as he looked into your eyes, feeling the warmth radiating off of you. "Oops. I guess I forgot them," you smugly responded, your lips curling into a devious smile.
He started slowly running his middle finger up and down your slit. "It's getting so wet," he whimpered, his breath growing shallow.
"Are you excited to eat it?" You purred, running your manicured fingernails along his jawline. He nodded and dropped to his knees in front of you, leaning in to taste you, but you stopped him.
"No, baby. Not yet. You're gonna spoil your dinner," you taunted him, running your thumb softly along his jawline. "But I wanna eat my dessert now, mommy" he pleaded with you, staring up your skirt. You shook your head.
"Just one little taste.." he whispered, rubbing your clit in small circles. "Christopher Owen," you scolded him, lightly swatting him in the face and gently tightening your grip on his jaw. "Be a good boy and listen to mommy."
His desperate, blue eyes gazed back at yours, and he slowly nodded as he stood back up. He was completely under your spell.
He wiped some sweat from his brow with the back of his trembling hand and picked up his glass of wine, lifting it to his lips and taking a sip to distract himself. He felt the buzz coming on, but he couldn't tell if it was the alcohol or if it was all the blood rushing to his dick that was leaving him feeling lightheaded.
"You wanna know the trick to keeping your noodles from sticking together?" You asked him as you turned your attention back to the now boiling pot. He could barely focus on what you were saying over how hard you made him, so he just weakly nodded in response.
"Add salt to the water right before you put the pasta in," you replied, gathering all your seasonings. You added a few shakes of salt into the rumbling, hot water, and then you emptied the box of angel hair noodles into it.
"Then we wanna keep stirring it around every couple of minutes until it's soft enough to eat," you taught him, taking your wooden spoon and agitating the pot. All he could think about was how you weren't wearing any underwear beneath your short skirt.
"Here. Take this. You keep stirring while I prepare the meat," you directed him, your fingertips lightly brushing against his as you passed off the utensil to him. He felt a current of energy passing through his body as you grazed him, and you felt it, too.
He did as you said, stirring the pasta as you splashed a bit of avocado oil into the hot pan on the front left burner and started to brown the ground beef. You shook some salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning into the meat and started cooking it.
His blue eyes fell to your figure as he wet his lips. He was almost certain you were going to try to sleep with him tonight, and while he was excited to finally lose his virginity, especially to you, he was nervous to lose it, especially to you.
His heart pounded in his ears, and thoughts raced through his mind, imagining how you'd taste, what you'd sound like, what you'd feel like.
"Did you hear me?" You asked, nudging him in the arm. "Huh?" He replied, realizing your lips had been moving the whole time, but he'd been too busy having dirty thoughts about you to register what you were saying.
You peered down at the tent in his sweats and smirked back up at him. "Whatcha thinking about?" You cooed as if you hadn't just teased him relentlessly while standing in his kitchen without any panties on.
He blushed and let out a laugh. "I'm sorry. I get hard so easily," Chris nervously apologized, nibbling on his lip and trying to hide his erection. "I don't mind," you smirked at him.
The two of you finished making food, made your plates, and sat down to eat. You teased him throughout dinner, running your foot up his leg and making flirtatious comments as you made eyes at him in the glow of the candlelight.
You poured yourself a second glass of wine and then another one. Before you knew it, you and Chris had nearly finished off the bottle, and the sexual tension between the two of you was growing.
"You don't mind if I stay the night here, do you? I've had a lot of wine," you asked him, slightly slurring your words as you twirled your noodles around your fork. "No, I don't mind at all," he replied nervously, taking the last bite of his spaghetti.
"You still get nightmares?" You wondered, taking a sip of your wine. He let out a small chuckle. "What's so funny?" You asked.
"I hate to break this to you, but I never really had an issue with nightmares, not since I was really little," he nervously confessed, fidgeting with the base of his glass.
"What? What about all those bad dreams you used to have when I babysat you?" You inquired, looking puzzled. "I was faking," he said, biting back a grin.
"Christopher," you replied sharply, glaring in his direction and slugging him in the arm. There was a bit of real anger behind your tone.
You'd spent many nights worrying about Chris and his bad dreams. So much to the point that it had cut into your own sleep on many occasions and caused issues in your relationship, which didn't matter in hindsight, considering how much an asshole your boyfriend at the time was.
Chris, on the other hand, loved how genuinely you cared for him, and the way you'd always drop everything to lull him back to sleep with your warm, inviting voice and the soft caress of your hand against his cheek.
You couldn't stay mad at him, though. In a lot of ways you found it endearing how much he wanted to be around you, but you were still trying to wrap your head around the fact that an eleven-year-old had come up with such an elaborate scheme.
"I know, I know. I just wanted you in my bed," he smirked. "Naughty boy," you rolled your eyes. "Maybe I'll pretend to have one tonight, so you'll have to come to bed with me and help me back to sleep," he lustfully responded. "Yeah? I bet I know how to tire you out," you flirted back.
His cock strained at the cotton fabric of his pants as you stared into his eyes, wetting your lips and parting your legs to give Chris another glimpse at what you had between them. He nibbled on his bottom lip, his sparkling eyes traveling to your glistening folds.
"Can I eat my dessert now, mommy?" He sweetly asked, but you slammed your legs shut and gave him a mischevious look.
Now what? He thought to himself, wondering what hoop you were going to make him jump through next before giving him what he wanted.
"I want mine first," you snickered, kneeling down in front of him and tugging at his sweats. He swallowed hard, looking down at you wide-eyed, but he listened, lifting his hips and allowing you to pull them down just enough for his cock to spring out of them.
You could sense how tense and nervous he was, literally sitting on the edge of his seat and his breath growing shallow and irregular.
"You're so hard," you observed, wrapping your fingers around his thickness and stroking it up and down. "All for me?" You cooed, watching a bit of precum gather at his tip.
"Yes, mommy," Chris said in a gravelly whisper. "All for you," he eagerly nodded, waiting in anticipation for what you were about to do next.
You leaned in, planting a kiss on his swollen head and slurping up the clear liquid from his slit. His cock twitched in response. You felt his whole body relax beneath you.
He slowly sunk back into his chair as he gave himself over to the wonderful feeling of your tongue fluttering around on all his sensitive nerve endings. "No one's ever done that to me before," he admitted in a timid voice as you wrapped your lips around his swollen tip and gently suckled on it.
"You like it, don't you?" You cooed before licking a long stripe from the base of his shaft all the way up his length and slipping him back into your mouth again.
"Mhmm," he whined, nodding as his hands found their way to your shoulders. He gently dug his fingernails into your back as you combined the two techniques, swirling your tongue around on his tip while you created a bit of suction.
He had always fantasized about getting head, but he didn't know it could feel this magical. He adored every subtle motion as you learned what he liked best.
His hand tenderly grazed the back of your head as he silently encouraged you to take more of him. You smirked, sliding down his length, feeling every vein with your tongue and swallowing him inch-by-inch until your nose was pressed up against his lower abdomen.
"Oh, yes. Just like that mommy," Chris pathetically whimpered as you hummed against the base of his cock. He slid down further into his chair, his eyes locked on the way your lips stretched around him.
You started bobbing your head up and down, eliciting a few soft gagging noises from you. The sound of you lightly choking on his dick drove Chris crazy.
He brushed a stray hair out of your face and placed both his hands on your ears as he tossed his head back and let out a strangled moan. He lifted his hips, driving his cock further into your throat. You could feel him quivering against your tongue as you slid back up his length, pulling your mouth off of him with a pop.
His lips curled into a smile as he peered back down at you. "Mommy. I was so close," he whimpered, his chest rising and falling with his labored breath.
"I know, pretty boy, but we gotta clean the kitchen before you can cum," you taunted him, climbing to your feet.
He licked his pouty lips as he let out a defeated sigh and pulled his sweats back on over his hard cock. He followed you to the kitchen, dragging his feet and silently throwing a fit about not being able to finish.
You put away the leftovers while Chris did the dishes, the whole time his cock aching at the absence of your mouth.
His erection was pinned between his stomach and the lip of the counter, and as he squeezed the excess water out of the sponge, he found himself rutting his hips forward and gently grinding against the marble finish.
You hoisted yourself up onto the countertop beside him and whispered in his ear, "Easy. You better not cum in your pants or mommy's gonna be really mad at you."
A pained whine drifted to your ears as he caught his bottom lip between his teeth and nodded. He went back to the dishes, trying to ignore his raging boner and trying to keep himself from rubbing up against the furniture like a dog in heat.
As he finished up drying off the last plate, you hiked up your skirt and flashed him your pussy again. His eyes widened, and his tongue darted out and slithered over his lips.
"Please, mommy. Can I have my dessert now?" He begged you, his voice saturated with lust and his eyebrows furrowed together in a look of desperation. "Yes, pretty boy. Come eat it," you nodded, spreading your labia open with two of your fingers.
He kneeled down in front of you, nervously leaning in to close the distance between his mouth and your cunt. You felt his warm breath first and the tickle of his smooth cheek grazing the inside of your thigh. He planted a delicate kiss on your pussy, causing you to grip his soft hair and gently tug on it.
He moaned against your sensitive bundle of nerves before gripping your legs and pulling you closer to him. Your mouth curled into a smile as he placed his hands on the insides of your thighs, pushing them as far apart as they could go. He gently nuzzled your clit before his pretty blue eyes flicked backed up at you, silently asking for your validation.
"Good boy. You're doing a perfect job. You're a natural," you praised him, running your fingers through his brown locks. That was all he needed to boost his confidence.
His kisses became more deliberate and more passionate as he drooled all over your cunt, periodically slurping up the mixture of his saliva and your wetness. You squirmed and squealed beneath him, his fingers digging into the soft flesh of your thighs while he kissed, licked, and sucked on your sensitive area.
"Mommy, you taste so sweet," he complimented you, coming up for air for a moment. He lapped away, his tongue swirling around on your delicate folds as you started to tremble beneath him. "Chris.." you hissed, your body tightening.
Your head fell back against the wooden cabinet behind you as your eyes rolled to the back of your head. He couldn't tell if he was wine drunk or pussy drunk, but a warm, fuzzy sensation overpowered him as he lost himself in you, forgetting the boundary between his mouth and your heat.
He almost couldn't believe that he was making you feel that good, but the way your body was reacting to him seemed genuine. A few loud moans fell from your lips as you shivered, finishing onto his velvet tongue.
"Wow," you whispered, panting as you tried to regain your composure. "Was that your first time eating pussy?" You asked him, still gently combing through his hair with your fingers. He peered up at you, timidly nodding.
"That was the best head I've ever gotten, Chris. Your tongue is every girl's dream," you giggled, reaching for the hem of Chris' shirt. He loved the way you showered him in compliments. "Please. Take this off, and put your big cock in me."
"Big?" He whispered, looking into your eyes. "What? Does that surprise you, baby? That you're big?" You asked him, helping him take off his shirt. He slowly nodded, pulling his dick back out of his sweats and peering down at it as he lined it up with your entrance.
"You gotta be gentle with me at first because of how big it is, okay?" You cooed, biting back a smirk. You knew you could handle it, but you knew your words were like music to his ears.
"Okay," he replied, gently tapping it against your clit before slipping the tip into your hole. It felt better than he ever could have imagined. He gingerly rocked his hips back and forth, allowing you to get used to his size as he firmly placed his hands on your hips.
His jaw fell slack, and a look of pleasure seeped into his expression. It took everything in him to go slow and gentle, trying so hard not to get carried away. A couple faint whines unfurled from your lips, and Chris immediately stopped, glancing up at you.
"Are you okay? Am I hurting you?" He sweetly asked, concerned that the noises you were making were out of pain. "No, baby. I'm making those sounds because it feels really good. Go deeper," you whispered, tenderly cradling his face.
"Yes, mommy," he whimpered, fucking you a little deeper and a little faster. He leaned in to kiss you, your lips locking with his as you pushed your tongue into his mouth. His shaky hand slid up the hem of your shirt, and he gently squeezed your breast, noting to himself that you also hadn't worn a bra.
The soft clicking sounds of your mouth filled the space between you. You could taste the rosé mixed with the flavor of your pussy on his tongue as you pulled him deeper into the kiss. He felt completely intoxicated - drunk off of the wine and drunk off of you.
Once he pulled back, his eyes wandered between your legs. He took in the lovely sight of your pussy expanding around his girth.
"Harder, baby. Fuck me harder," you ordered him, resting your hand on his chest and feeling his sped up heart rate. You heard his breath quicken as he picked up the pace.
He pushed up your pretty, blue top, exposing your tits. He was immediately enamored with them, gently pinching your nipples between his fingers and listening to the pretty sounds that left your mouth as he played with you.
"Suck on them, baby," you directed him, and he nodded, leaning in to take each one into his mouth as he squeezed each one in each hand.
"Such a good boy," you purred, petting the back of his head and massaging his scalp with your manicured nails. He whimpered against your breast, the vibration sending pleasure through your nipple and causing you to clench around his cock.
"Faster, Chris. Faster," you demanded, feeling yourself getting closer and closer. "Fuck," Chris muttered, stopping abruptly. You felt his cock pulsating inside of you. He was afraid if he moved at all, it would send him over the edge before he could finish you off.
"What's the matter, baby? Hmm? Why'd you stop?" You cooed, cradling his head and pushing his face into your breasts. "So close, mommy," he whimpered, holding his body still and using every last ounce of willpower to keep from drilling into you and letting his orgasm run its course.
"Fuck. I can't," he whined, pulling out of you and waiting for the feeling to subside. "It's okay, baby. Yes, you can. Take a breather," you encouraged him, placing a hand on either side of his head with his nose just inches from yours as you peered into his beautiful, blue eyes. He nodded, taking a few deep breaths.
After a few moments of fending off his climax, he slid it back in, letting it go in all the way before pulling out again. He watched in awe at the way you stretched so perfectly around him as he plunged into you with his thick cock over and over again.
"I wanna turn you around so bad," he whispered, peering into your eyes as he pulled out again. You hoisted yourself off of the counter, spinning around, and propping your leg up on the edge of the marble cuntertop.
"Give it to me, pretty boy. Fuck me as hard and as fast as you can," you instructed him. "Yes, mommy," he answered, pushing up your tight skirt and slipping his length into your cunt from the back. He loved being told what to do by you.
"Good boy," you moaned as he started pistoning his hips forward, driving his cock deep into your drooling pussy as he reached around and grabbed a handful of your breast.
You could feel his hot breath against your ear and hear his pretty moans as he fucked you with all his strength. "Oh, Chris.. so big.. gonna cum.. gonna cum all over your big cock," you babbled as you shook violently.
Your orgasm hit your system, feeling like a series of explosions going off in your body. You tightly gripped the edge of the cool, marble counter as you clenched around him again, finishing all over his rod. Your juices flowed down the sides of his dick as he railed you, extracting your climax from you.
"Good boy. You made me cum all over it," you breathlessly whimpered, trying to catch your breath. A satisfied smile started in the corner of his lip as he realized he'd made you finish. "Fill me up, Chris," you demanded, letting your head fall back against his chest as he pounded into you.
He couldn't take it anymore. The feeling of your pussy convulsing around him and your words encouraging him to shoot his load inside of you, it was all too much.
He delivered a few more powerful thrusts, jerking his hips forward and triggering his own orgasm. His strokes slowed to a stop as he filled you to the brim, pumping you full of his liquid.
Pleasure coursed through him, leaving him feeling completely drained after, but in the best way, like he'd just finished running a marathon and had won first place.
He finally pulled out of you, nearly collapsing onto the floor and having to steady himself on the counter as all the blood rushed back to the rest of his body.
You spun back around, hoisting yourself back up onto the marble counter and spreading your legs and your puffy lips open for him again.
"Look at how much you came," you smirked, putting yourself on display for him as his thick, sticky fluid leaked from your cunt. He focused his blurry vision on the way it gushed out of you every time you clenched around nothing.
"Oh my god. It looks perfect," he responded, admiring the mess he made before slumping over and nestling his nose in the crook of your neck. A wave of embarrassment overcame him, wondering if he'd done a good job or if he was too awkward or shy about it all.
"Was I o-okay?" He nervously asked, his voice becoming small and shakey. "Chris. I can't feel my legs," you chuckled back in response. "Is th-that a good thing?" He timidly asked. "It's a great thing, Chris. You give the best dick. Best I've ever had in my life."
Your praises had blood rushing back to his cock, and it sprung to life once more.
"Oh, don't tell me that. You're gonna make me wanna give it to you again," Chris whispered as you felt his erection poking you in the thigh. You chuckled, surprised by his stamina.
"Give it to me again, baby. I promise. I can take it."

Sweetheart || George Clarke.
Part 1
Ur honestly so cute, I need to start re-reading my drafts and publishing them.. currently have inside ep 1,2 in my drafts rn😩 BUT THANK YOU CUTIE!! Hope you like this 😊
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: She’s the school’s star cheerleader, and he’s the cocky rugby player who drives her up the wall. They’ve been at each other’s throats for as long as they can remember petty arguments, competitive banter, stolen glances that last too long.
But when Charlie, one of George’s teammates, starts flirting a little too shamelessly, the rivalry between them shifts into something sharper, more personal. Because George hates it—hates the way Charlie talks about her, the way he looks at her.
And one day, he snaps.
George x reader, fem!reader , explicit language
There most definitely will be a part 2 to this!!
ENJOY!!
———————————————————————-
If there was one person in the entire school who could ruin my day in under five seconds, it was George Clarkey.
And unfortunately, he seemed to be everywhere.
“You’re glaring again,” my best friend, Liv, pointed out, nudging me with her elbow.
I tore my eyes away from the rugby pitch, where George was currently jogging back to his position, annoyingly smug even while covered in mud. His school rugby shirt was practically clinging to him, damp from the drizzle, and his curls were messy from where he kept ruffling them.
Not that I noticed. Obviously.
“I’m not glaring,” I said, flipping my ponytail over my shoulder. “I’m just… observing.”
Liv snorted. “Right. Observing how fit he looks?”
I turned to her, horrified. “Absolutely not. He’s—ugh insufferable. Cocky, irritating, never stops talking. Did I mention cocky?”
“Only about a hundred times.”
And, as if on cue, George spotted me from across the field. A slow smirk spread across his face, like he knew he was annoying me just by existing.
He jogged a bit closer and called out, loud enough for everyone to hear, “You here to support me, sweetheart?”
I clenched my jaw, ignoring the way my stomach flipped at that ridiculous nickname.
“Please,” I shot back, hands on my hips. “If I wanted to watch someone roll around in the mud, I’d get a dog.”
His teammates howled with laughter, clapping him on the back. But George? He just grinned, jogging backwards like he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
“You’re obsessed with me, admit it!”
“In your dreams, Clarkey!”
The thing about George was that he thrived on winding me up. Which meant I couldn’t give him the satisfaction of knowing that, no matter how annoying he was..he also made my heart race in a way that I hated.
George and I had been at each other’s throats since Year 9. It started when he made a very loud, very wrong comment about how cheerleading wasn’t a real sport. I may have responded by stealing his boots before a big match. He retaliated by swapping my water bottle with vinegar during training.
From there, it spiralled. Pranks, insults, who can annoy the other the most. It was our thing.
So when we walked into history the next day and the teacher started reading out partner assignments for our coursework, I wasn’t worried. There was no way she’d put me with George. She knew we were a disaster waiting to happen.
But then—
“George Clarkey and [ ].”
The entire room went silent.
Someone actually gasped.
I blinked. “You’re joking.”
George, sitting two seats away, let out a low whistle. “Ooh. That’s unfortunate for you, sweetheart.”
The teacher ignored both of us. “You’ll be working together on this project for the next few weeks, so I suggest you figure out a way to get along.”
I turned to George, who was already watching me with that bloody smirk. “You better actually do work,” I muttered as I slid into the seat next to him.
He leaned in slightly, voice low enough that only I could hear. “What, scared to spend time with me?”
My breath hitched annoyingly but I masked it with an unimpressed look. “Scared you’ll get shown up by me, more like.”
His grin deepened, all challenge and amusement. “This is gonna be fun.”
I had a horrible feeling he was right.
———————————————————————
I hated being partnered with George. I really did.
But if there was one small silver lining to this absolute disaster of a situation, it was that his best mate, Charlie, was actually a decent person.
Charlie was in my maths class, and we’d always gotten along well enough. Unlike George, he wasn’t constantly winding me up or trying to make my life miserable. And, unlike George, he didn’t seem to think cheerleading was a joke.
“You’re well unlucky,” Charlie said with a sympathetic smile as we walked out of class together. “Being stuck with Clarkey, I mean. Absolute nightmare, that one.”
I snorted. “Tell me about it.”
He grinned. “If you need someone to rant to, I’m happy to volunteer.”
And then, before I could even respond, George appeared out of nowhere, stepping right between us like some sort of human barricade.
“Alright, mate?” George clapped Charlie on the back a bit too hard. “Didn’t know you were trying to steal my project partner.”
Charlie laughed, glancing at me. “She’s your problem now, not mine.”
George turned to me, eyebrows raised. “That true, sweetheart? You going round complaining about me already?”
I rolled my eyes. “Didn’t have to. Everyone already knows you’re unbearable.”
He smirked. “And yet, here you are, walking with my mate. What, trying to get closer to me through him?”
Charlie shot him a look. “Don’t be a nob, Clarkey.”
George laughed like he wasn’t being completely insufferable, but something flickered in his expression something I couldn’t quite place.
I ignored it. Instead, I turned to Charlie and smiled. “I’ll see you later, yeah?”
His face lit up in a way that made something twist in my stomach.
I wasn’t oblivious I’d noticed the way Charlie looked at me lately. The way he found excuses to talk to me, to sit next to me in class. And, if I was honest, I liked the attention.
It wasn’t like that but it was nice. Unlike George, who lived to annoy me, Charlie was easy to talk to.
Apparently, George hated that.
Because as soon as Charlie walked off, he let out a sharp breath, running a hand through his damp curls. “Fucking hell. If I have to watch him flirt with you for the next few weeks, I might actually lose my mind.”
I crossed my arms, tilting my head. “What’s your problem?”
He scoffed. “Charlie never shuts up about you. It’s pathetic.”
I raised an eyebrow. “Oh, so you can flirt with half the school, but the second someone likes me, it’s a problem?”
His jaw clenched. “I don’t flirt with everyone.”
I let out a humourless laugh. “Right. You just call everyone ‘sweetheart’ and wink at anything that moves.”
George’s smirk twitched slightly, but there was something else behind it now, something a little more serious.
“You jealous, love?” His voice was lower now, teasing, but not in his usual careless way.
I stared at him. “Of what?”
He stepped closer. Not enough to be obvious, not enough to draw attention, but enough. Enough that I caught the scent of his aftershave, enough that my pulse betrayed me completely.
“Of them,” he murmured. “The girls I flirt with.”
I refused to let him get to me. Refused to let him know that my brain was currently short circuiting from the way he was looking at me.
So I forced a smirk, tilting my head up defiantly. “Not even a little bit.”
Lie. Massive, massive lie.
But George just hummed, stepping back with a knowing glint in his eyes. “If you say so, sweetheart.”
And then he was walking off, leaving me standing there, heart hammering, absolutely furious that he could still get under my skin like that.
But come to think of it, I wasn’t encouraging Charlie. Not really.
But I also wasn’t stopping him.
Because, if nothing else, watching George Clarkey’s jaw clench every time Charlie spoke to me was quickly becoming one of my new favourite things.
“Here, let me carry that for you,” Charlie offered, reaching for my books as we walked out of the library.
I raised an eyebrow. “I can carry my own books, you know.”
He grinned. “Yeah, but I’m trying to be chivalrous.”
I rolled my eyes but let him take them anyway. “What a gentleman.”
Charlie was easy to be around. He was funny, charming, and unlike George he didn’t actively make it his mission to wind me up constantly.
Which is exactly why I shouldn’t have been even remotely surprised when George appeared out of nowhere, stepping directly between us like a human roadblock.
“Oi, Charlie,” he said, completely ignoring me. “Didn’t know you’d started a new career as a personal assistant.”
Charlie let out a short laugh. “It’s called being nice, Clarkey. You should try it sometime.”
George’s gaze snapped to me, sharp and unreadable. “Think she can manage carrying her own books, though.”
Charlie shrugged. “Yeah, but I offered.”
George let out a slow breath, rubbing the back of his neck like he was physically restraining himself from saying something stupid. Which was rare for him, considering he never shut up.
“Whatever,” he muttered, finally turning to me. “You ready for this project thing or what?”
I gave him a look. “You mean the thing you were ten minutes late for?”
He smirked. “Took my time. Knew you’d still be here flirting with Charlie, anyway.”
I scoffed, ignoring the way my face betrayed me completely by heating up. “I was not—”
“Anyway,” Charlie cut in, clearing his throat. He handed my books back, giving me a quick smile. “I’ll see you later, yeah?”
I nodded. “Yeah, see you.”
The second he was gone, George let out a short, irritated breath.
“Fucking hell,” he muttered under his breath. “You really like entertaining him, don’t you?”
I turned to him, crossing my arms. “And what exactly is your problem with that?”
He scoffed. “No problem.”
I narrowed my eyes. “Right. That’s why you keep glaring at him like he’s personally offended you.”
George rolled his eyes, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “He’s just—” He paused, shaking his head. “Forget it.”
But now I was curious. I stepped forward, tilting my head. “He’s just what?”
George exhaled sharply, muttering something under his breath before meeting my gaze again. “He’s a mate, alright? And I know for a fact that if he actually asked you out, it wouldn’t just be some little flirt for him.”
I frowned. “And what if he did ask me out?”
George went completely still.
I almost laughed at the look on his face like the thought had genuinely never occurred to him before. Like he hadn’t actually considered the possibility that I might actually say yes.
Then his jaw tensed.
“You wouldn’t,” he said simply.
I raised an eyebrow. “Oh? And why’s that?”
George met my gaze, something unreadable flickering behind his usual cocky, irritating expression.
Then he smirked, leaning in slightly just enough to make my breath hitch.
“Because,” he murmured, “you’d get bored of him in about a week.”
My stomach flipped. Stupid. So stupid.
I straightened my shoulders, forcing a scoff. “And you think I wouldn’t get bored of you?”
George’s smirk deepened, his voice dropping just enough to send a shiver down my spine.
“Oh, sweetheart,” he said smoothly. “You’d never get bored of me.”
My heart was pounding now, and I hated him for it. Hated the way he could do this push my buttons, wind me up, and still make my stomach do stupid, ridiculous flips all at once.
So I forced a smile. A sweet, fake, infuriatingly polite smile.
“Watch me.”
Then I turned and walked off, knowing full well that George Clarkey was still watching me the entire way.
And, if I wasn’t completely losing my mind, I think I just made things even worse.
——————————————————————
At first, it was just light teasing compliments here, cheeky comments there. And I didn’t mind it. In fact, I enjoyed it. Not because I fancied him, but because of the way George absolutely lost his mind every time Charlie so much as looked at me.
But lately, it had shifted.
Charlie had started getting… bolder. The lingering touches, the low murmurs when no one else was listening. And while I’d brushed it off at first, something about it felt off.
I just hadn’t realised how off until I overheard exactly what he was saying about me.
The changing room was loud with the usual post-training banter—laughter, the sound of boots being tossed aside, the occasional thud of someone slamming a locker shut. Charlie was in the middle of a story, half-dressed, stretching out his sore muscles.
Then her name came up.
A few heads turned, but no one stopped him. Charlie had been talking about her a lot lately—more than usual. Flirting with her in the corridors, finding excuses to be around her. But today, there was a different edge to his words.
A low chuckle. “Mate, I swear, the things I’d do to her…”
George stilled.
“Bet she’s a little tease in private, all attitude in public but proper desperate behind closed doors.”
Someone snorted. Someone else muttered, “Behave, mate.” But no one stopped him.
“I’d have her screaming my name by the end of the night.”
The sound of boots hitting the floor, a sharp inhale—then a sudden, violent slam.
Charlie’s back hit the lockers with a heavy thud.
The room went silent.
George stood in front of him, fists clenched, jaw tight, eyes burning with something dangerous.
“Shut your f**king mouth, Charlie.”
A stunned pause. Then, Charlie let out a short, breathless laugh. “The f**k, Clarkey?”
George didn’t move. Didn’t blink. “Say that again. I f**king dare you.”
Charlie’s smirk flickered, like he couldn’t decide whether to be pissed off or amused. “Oh, come on. It’s just banter.”
“Banter?” The word came out slow, sharp.
Charlie scoffed. “Don’t tell me you care. It’s not like she’s yours.”
The tension in the room snapped, thick enough to choke on.
Every muscle in George’s body was drawn tight, like he was barely holding himself back. A challenge hung in the air, unspoken but blistering.
Then, movement in the doorway.
Her voice.
“George?”
Everything stopped.
Heads turned. A few of the boys suddenly found something very interesting about their boots.
She stood in the entrance, eyes locked on George, gaze flicking between him and Charlie. Something shifted in her expression—realisation, understanding.
And then, without a word, she walked past Charlie like he wasn’t even there.
Straight to George.
Fingers wrapped around his wrist. A small but deliberate touch.
No one spoke.
Charlie let out a breath, muttering something under his breath, but no one laughed this time.
A moment passed.
Then she tugged George towards the door, and he let her.
The second they were gone, the silence broke.
“Mate, what the f**k was that?” someone muttered.
No one had an answer. But everyone knew. Something had just changed.
The walk from the changing room was silent.
She hadn’t let go of his wrist. Not until they were outside, away from the laughter, the echo of boots against the floor, the lingering weight of what just happened.
When she finally did, George exhaled sharply, running a hand through his damp curls. His whole body was still wired with anger, every muscle tense.
She watched him carefully, arms crossed. “What the hell was that?”
George let out a sharp, humourless laugh, looking away. “You heard what that dickhead was saying.”
“Yeah, I did,” she shot back. “But why do you care so much?”
That question hit him like a punch to the gut.
His jaw clenched. “Are you fucking serious?”
She stepped closer, voice low. “Yes, George. I’m serious. You’ve been acting like a complete lunatic every time Charlie so much as looks at me. And now you’re starting fights in the changing room? What is your problem?”
George scoffed, shaking his head. “My problem? My problem is that he talks about you like you’re some fucking thing to win.”
Her breath hitched, but she didn’t look away.
George huffed out another breath, stepping back. “Forget it. You clearly don’t care.”
A beat of silence. Then..
“You think I don’t care?”
Her voice was quiet, but something in it made him pause.
He turned back, and—fuck
She wasn’t just angry. She was hurt.
Something twisted in his chest, hard and sudden.
She shook her head, looking at him like she was finally seeing it. “You don’t get to stand there and act like you’re the only one who’s pissed off, George. You think I liked hearing him say that? You think I liked knowing you were about to..” She stopped herself, inhaling sharply. “I don’t need you fighting my battles for me.”
George let out a slow breath, dragging a hand over his face. “I wasn’t—” He stopped. Swallowed. “I wasn’t thinking.”
“No shit,” she muttered.
For a second, neither of them spoke.
A gust of wind blew past, the only sound between them. The usual noise of the school a distant shout from the pitch, the sound of doors slamming felt muffled, like they were in their own space, locked in this moment neither of them knew how to get out of.
George exhaled. “Look.” His voice came out quieter than before, rough around the edges. “I just” He stopped himself, shaking his head. “Forget it.”
She hated when he did that started a sentence, then shut it down like it didn’t matter.
So she stepped forward, forcing him to meet her eyes. “Say it.”
His jaw ticked. “It doesn’t matter.”
“Say it, George.”
And that was it. That was the breaking point.
Because before he could stop himself, the words spilled out, raw and reckless
“Of course it fucking matters!”
Her breath caught.
George shoved a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply. “I hate it. I hate watching him flirt with you. I hate the way he talks about you. I hate” He stopped, shaking his head. “I hate that you don’t fucking see it.”
Silence.
Her voice was barely a whisper. “See what?”
George let out a harsh laugh, bitter and frustrated, because seriously?
He stepped closer. Not like before not teasing, not playful. This was something different. Something that made the air between them feel thick, heavy, electric.
“Jesus Christ.” His voice was lower now, rough. “You, sweetheart. You think I’ve been acting like this for fun? You think I don’t care?” His breath was uneven, and he hated it. Hated that she could do this to him. “I care too fucking much, and it’s ruining me.”
The words hung there, unshakable.
She didn’t move. Didn’t say a word.
Then slowly, carefully she reached for his wrist.
Soft, hesitant.
And George who was always so loud, so sure, so quick with a comeback went completely, utterly still.
Something in his chest tightened.
Her fingers curled slightly, just enough to keep him there. Not pulling, not pushing. Just holding on.
And George?
George let her.
Because he was done fighting it.
The weight of George’s words still hung in the air, thick and impossible to ignore.
“I care too fucking much, and it’s ruining me.”
She hadn’t moved. Hadn’t spoken. Just stood there, fingers still wrapped around his wrist soft, hesitant, deliberate.
George didn’t breathe. Didn’t dare.
Because if he did, if he let himself feel this properly, he didn’t know if he’d be able to stop.
She looked at him then, really looked at him, and it was too much the way her gaze softened, the way she was holding onto him like she finally understood.
“George,” she said, voice quieter now, like the fight had drained out of her.
And it wrecked him.
Because he’d spent so long pretending acting like none of this mattered, like she wasn’t under his skin in ways that no one else had ever been.
But now?
Now she was so close.
And he couldn’t pretend anymore.
His free hand lifted without thinking, fingers brushing against her jaw, tentative, testing giving her a chance to pull away.
She didn’t.
If anything, she leaned into it.
Something inside him snapped.
Before either of them could talk themselves out of it, he tilted his head and closed the space between them, pressing his lips against hers.
Soft at first hesitant, searching but then she made a small, breathless sound against his mouth, and it sent something crashing through him.
His hands moved, gripping her waist, pulling her closer, like he was making up for every second he’d wasted pushing her away.
She kissed him back like she’d been waiting for this just as long, fingers twisting in his hoodie, holding him there, like she needed this too.
And God, he was gone for her. Completely, helplessly gone.
When they finally pulled apart, their breathing was uneven, faces still close.
Her fingers were still curled into his hoodie. His hands were still on her waist.
And George who had always been so cocky, so sure of himself could barely get his voice to work.
“Sweetheart…” His forehead rested against hers, voice rough, breathless. “Tell me I haven’t just completely fucked this up.”
A small, mischievous smile tugged at her lips.
“You think I’d kiss you like that if you had?”
George huffed out a laugh, shaking his head, thumb tracing absent circles on her hip.
“You’re a tease,” he murmured.
She grinned. “And you love it.”
He did.
And for once, he wasn’t afraid to admit it.

2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar 🍎
2 Tablespoons filtered water 💧
1/4 Teaspoon cayenne pepper 🌶
1/4 Teaspoon ground ginger 🫚
Instructions:
Combine everything and mix completely.
This is a little spicy, so test it out yourself before giving it to your kids. 🤔

Potage From Meat
(15th century Italian)
"Take lean meat and let it boil, then cut it up finely and cook it again for half an hour in rich juice, having first added bread crumbs. Add a little pepper and saffron.
When it has cooled a little, add beaten eggs, grated cheese, parsley, marjoram, finely chopped mint with a little verjuice. Blend them all together in a pot, stirring them slowly with a spoon so that they do not form a ball. The same may be done with livers and lungs."
2 1/3 lb stewbeef 4 cups water "Rich juice": 31 oz (3 cans) concentrated beef broth 1 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs 3/4 tsp pepper 8 threads saffron 5 eggs 1 1/2 cups grated cheese (~ 7 oz) 3/8 cups chopped parsley 3/4 tsp dried or 1 tsp fresh marjoram 1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh mint verjuice: 3 tbsp wine vinegar 1 tsp salt (to taste)
"Bring meat and water to a boil and cook 10 minutes; take meat out and cut up small; put back in water with broth, bread crumbs, pepper, and saffron. Simmer 1/2 hour over low flame, being careful that it does not stick. Mix in remaining ingredients; cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. This makes about 10 cups.
This is a rather meat-rich version; it also works with as little as half this much meat."

Otter's notes:
I used two beef stock cubes which was fine.
I wasn’t sure how small the meat should be cut, so I did pieces of a couple centimetres diameter. This worked well in my opinion.
I don’t enjoy skimming the scum off water I’ve boiled meat in, so I used fresh water for the second part. I did not find the result lacking in flavour.
Cariadoc isn't kidding about it sticking. Make sure to stir every 2-4 minutes. Stuck doesn't necessarily mean burned though.
It’s sooooo so tasty, can recommend
