And this is how it began
December 2009:
Moving towards Adam Aaron looked at his lips. The cut above his eye stung slightly as the farmer gently wiped the cut with the cuff of his shirt. His rough hand caressing the back of Aaron's neck as he held Aaron in place to tend to the wound.
'Ah, shit that hurt' Aaron said wincing at the pressure on the cut.
'Sorry' was all Adam got out before he felt lips on his, Aaron's lips at that. Yielding for a moment before pulling away 'What the hell was that?' he asked incredulously.
Aaron froze for a second before his fight or flight instinct kicked in. He wrenched open the car door and jumped out of the car. Moving around to the front his mind was racing, What the hell had just happened? He'd just tried and succeeded in kissing his best friend! What the hell was he thinking! He really didn't know. Maybe the bang to the head rattled his brains around a bit. He wasn't really gay gay, he just liked the look of some guys. He didn't like Adam like that did he? Shit! He did, he really, really did.
Adam had hopped out of the car following Aaron to the front, he was a little shaken at what had just happened but what was more confusing was that even though he pulled away he wanted more.
Walking towards the front of the car to face Aaron he couldn't help but think that the mechanic looked good tonight. He really shouldn't be thinking these things though; this was his best friend you don't think like this about your best friend, do you?
'Eh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. It's just cos I got a bang to the head is all. I didn't mean it, thought you were Holly. Sorry' Aaron mumbled while looking at the ground.
Moving closer to Aaron Adam put his hand under his chin and lifter Aaron's face until they were looking at each other eye to eye. Slowly he moved his face closer to Aaron never breaking eye contact before gently placing his lips on Aaron's and giving in to the kiss that had started only moments before. Lips parting lightly, Aaron swiped his tongue lightly across Adam's lips causing the farmer to moan quietly. Their kiss deepened slightly before they broke apart to get air.
'Eh well that wasn't what I'd planned to do tonight' Adam said with a smirk on his handsome face.
'Mmmmm, me neither.' Aaron mumbled 'what do we do now? Pretend it didn't happen?'
'not sure I want to. Do you?' Adam asked with a frown on his face.
'No, but we can't be together together can we? You're with Scarlett and I'm with your sister for god's sake' Aaron announced.
'I know, I know. Shit! I know' Adam replied loudly. 'Maybe we can just keep it quiet for the time being, ya know just us.'
'I can't be with you and Holly, that's just sick mate. You know that. I'll break up with her tomorrow. It's just not right stringing her along like that when I know there is no future specially when I want to be with her brother for fuck sake!'
'You want to be with me properly?' asked Adam
'Well, yeah I do' replied Aaron in embarrassment thankful that it was dark and Adam couldn't see his blush.
Pulling Aaron closer to him Adam kissed him again, the kiss more heated then before. In the middle of the kiss Adam's phone rang with the tone assigned for Scarlett. Pulling away from Aaron Adam sheepishly took his phone out of his pocket 'I've got to take this mate, she'll keep ringing otherwise. Hey babe' he said into the phone 'How have you been?...Nah, just out with Aaron, nothing major's going on…We got kicked out of the pub so we're on our way home…..What? Yeah sure, I'll get Aaron to drop me to yours, I'm sure he wont mind.' As he said these last words he looked at Aaron and could see the look of disappointment flutter across his face. There was no way Adam was giving up little miss money bags for him. Shit, he thought, I'm fucked!
Putting away his phone Adam looked slightly embarrassed 'Sorry bout that but she insisted. Can you drop me to hers?'
'Course' Aaron replied somewhat down hearted at the development of the night.
Moving back towards the car Aaron and Adam got in and buckled up before driving off. Taking the drive more carefully now that he'd lost control once that night Aaron didn't say anything. Adam could feel the tension in the car and needed to release it. As Aaron stopped outside Scarlett's house Aaron looked at him with those wounded puppy dog eyes. Adam moved forward and captured the mechanics lips in his for a moment before breaking away and getting out of the car.
'See you tomorrow?' Adam asked before closing the door.
'Yeah sure' Aaron answered somewhat confused at what had just happened. Was Adam getting rid of Scarlett for him? He really wasn't sure. Pulling away from the house he saw Adam and Scarlett embrace on the door step of her house. How can he act like this Aaron thought, he knew that he couldn't do it anyway, Holly was history tomorrow. He just hoped that Adam would do the same to Scarlett but he wouldn't bet on it, Adam liked the finer things in life and Scarlett could definitely afford to give him all the stuff Aaron couldn't even dream of being able to afford. How do you compete against a multimillionaire anyway? That and the fact that she was a girl and Aaron most definitely wasn't. what if Adam changed his mind and didn't want anything to do with him tomorrow once he sobered up and realised what had happened. With all these thoughts running around his head Aaron parked up Ryan's car and went into Smithy cottage. He walked up the stairs with a lot on his mind. Getting in to bed the kiss with Adam kept playing over and over in his head. The first time he'd definitely instigated it but then in front of the car, Adam definitely instigated that one, didn't he? Did he? Shit, Aaron thought, I don't know. Finally after hours of tossing and turning Aaron finally fell asleep with thoughts of Adam in his head. He hoped that tomorrow would bring answers.
