Frankie Goes to Holiday
This story reintroduces Frankie, the main character in the Student Bodies tale and the next stage of her life. There is absolutely no necessity to read that story in advance as this one holds up on its own. There is only a short catch-up, perhaps a couple of hundred words, of her life between the two stories. Like most of my stories, I apologise for the length. I never seem to know when to stop.
Chapter 1
This is Frankie again with the start of the next stage of my journey. Have you noticed nowadays how everyone calls it 'ones journey?' Well I thought I would be writing about the old gang's next holiday, probably not exotic, probably cheap and cheerful but packed full of sex.
Well funnily enough after Cindy and Josh announced their engagement, and Sarah & Chris had disappeared into their own little world, the rest of us stagnated a bit. Sure I still saw a lot of Lucy my BFF, and Penny and Krysta occasionally horse riding, and Mina because she hung out a lot with Penny & Krysta, but rarely the boys. I had made sure at first that I got shagged by Greg and Bruce fairly regularly but after a few months even they moved on. Jon, and a couple of the guys made an attempt at organising another holiday but I lost touch as soon as I said I couldn't go. My parents had split up, reasonably amicably and my mother changed her name back to her maiden name de Wolfe. She managed to borrow a small but attractive villa on Barbados and there was a bit of a three line whip on my sister and I to attend. Not too bad eh, the sex was non-existent but it was Barbados. My sister and I both decided in solidarity with Mum to change our name to de Wolfe as well. If I was entirely honest, it wasn't only in solidarity. Frankie Foxx had always felt like a strippers name and I had been teased unmercifully at school.
Wow. How things change.
I look back now and see how we are all spread around. We had all split and gone our separate ways after our course at Uni finished.
The younger girls, Penny, Krysta and Mina were still at Uni of course.
Lucy had gone back to her family in the Lake District and was looking for work in the tourist industry.
Hannah had gone back to her parent's home and set up a cake shop, cafΓ© in the touristy Cotswolds and Yasmin had walked out on her family after they pressurised her to marry someone she didn't know. She was now living and working with Hannah temporarily while looking for a job to use her science degree.
Josh was working in Central London for an Insurance Underwriter, Pete surveying in Norfolk, Sarah was at a Museum in Edinburgh, Jon and Luther had gone travelling. They were currently in India. We were spread all over the world.
Me, I was lying in bed on a Wednesday morning with my dildo in my hand. Actually that is not quite true, part of it was in my hand, the other part firmly pushed where it was doing its best to make me forget I didn't have a job. I had been to yet another interview yesterday and I was pretty sure I had failed this one as well. This one hurt because I had contacted my father who had gone out a bit on a limb with an old friend and pulled a few strings for me, and I still didn't think I had got the job.
But then came the surprise.
The phone rang and my mother answered it before calling me.
'Frankie it's for you. It is Heath and Sons, where you went for the interview last week.'
I turned off the dildo, just in case she could hear it on the other end of the phone and answered on the extension in my bedroom.
'Thank you mum, Hi this is Frankie de Wolfe, Mrs Robinson?'
'Yes. Hello Miss de Wolfe. I promised that I would come back to you today with some feedback about your interview.'
The way she worded it already didn't sound too good.
'As much as we appreciated your personal introduction to our Bank we must regret that at this stage in your career you do not have the experience necessary for us to offer you a job. Your typing skills were really not up to speed and of course all our other PAs do have shorthand or speedwriting for dictation.'
I turned my vibrator back on low recognising where we were going.
'There is however one opportunity that I might suggest. We start clerical officer trainees in the Post Room and after six months consider whether they have a role to play as a junior in general banking. Would you be interested in that at all?'
Oh how are the mighty fallen. A top second at a good British university and the Post Room beckons. I just knew what my father would say however if I turned the job down. There was still a chance my mother might be listening on the other extension.
'That is very kind of you Mrs Robinson. I can understand that my skills are not up to the standards desired in the real world yet, so I suspect I have little choice but to start at the bottom. Thank you Mrs Robinson, I accept.'
'You do? I mean, you do, that is good.' She sounded a little surprised. Is it that bad I wondered?
'In that case Miss de Wolfe I will see you next Monday at eight thirty. Come straight to HR again and ask for me. I will put some stuff in the post for you. I should mention that your salary will not be as high as we were talking yesterday but I think you will find that although it is low to start with it can rapidly grow inside the Bank as you take more responsibility.'
I could see what was coming, the minimum wage.
'Delighted you are going to join us Miss de Wolfe. I will see you Monday.'
I was in two minds to tell her to poke her job, but instead settled down and turned up my dildo. I lay now on top of my duvet, legs spread and eyes shut, as my brain shuttled between the forthcoming orgasm and my new life at work. My wages were not even going to be enough to keep my horse in food so I would have to negotiate that with my Mother. It was going to be okay because my sister was riding him as much as I was and she had one more year before she went off to Uni. I idly wondered whether she was still a virgin. We were not really close. I realised that we hadn't been for years.
The object of my thoughts, my sister burst into the room and laughed as she snapped a picture of my dildo between my lips on her cell phone.
'I thought that's what the noise would be,' she said. 'Now you have to be nice to me or I will send your photograph to a few friends of mine and even Mum.'
I groaned, trying not to overreact and show her that I was worried. I wasn't really.
'Listen Dotty, my friends have all seen it before, your friends, will probably think it is you, and if you tell them it is me they will just wonder whether you look the same, whether you shave your pubes the same way, and, as for Mum, well she probably has one too.'
She looked a bit crestfallen that I wasn't upset.
'I have told you, don't call me Dotty anymore, my friends call me Dee or DeeDee as in Dee de Wolfe.'
