Buzzz, buzzz, buzzz.

With a groan Aaron slowly opened his eyes and reached out for the damn cellphone. A quick look at the caller ID told him it was Jackson calling him. At once he was wide awake. He picked up the phone and pressed the caller button.

"Yeah, it's Aaron. What's up J?" he answered.

"Good morning on you too," Jackson replied with a small chuckle. "Not much, just lying here, thinking about my boyfriend," he then added.

Aaron felt himself getting slightly flustered. He didn't know why, but there was something about Jackson. He had never felt this way before, and definitely not with Victoria. He collected his thoughts for a moment before he replied.

"Shouldn't you be off for work?" Aaron asked.

"What, so you can stare at my ass all day?" Jackson answered with a teasing voice. Aaron felt his lips suddenly going dry and per reflex he licked his tongue across them. It helped some. "Good thing with being me own boss is that I can set my own working hours," Jackson then added.

"What do Declan think about that?"

"Never said I wouldn't turn up, just that I'm having a morning in. You'll see my face in no time."

"Alright. See ya then."

"You could sound more eager."

"You're distracting."

"And you love that, don't ya?"

"I enjoy the view, Cain doesn't."

"I'm not showing off for his sake."

"I didn't mean... he's just a bit disapproving."

"Yeah, I've noticed. You shouldn't let it get to you."

"I'm not."

"Good."

"Are we done? I need to get dressed."

"Mmm... thanks for that image," Jackson replied and Aaron could almost hear the cheeky grin he was sure Jackson had on his face in it. Once again he felt a heat rising. He had never seen himself as a handsome guy, something Jackson had told him he was on several occasions.

"Oi! Aren't you supposed to get dressed too?"

"Can't wait?"

"... no."

"Well, I better hurry then. See ya in a bit," Jackson said.

"You too," Aaron replied and hung up on the phone.
