CH2

Jackson has now been at home for over a week and is starting to go crazy not being able to move much and Aaron had had to go back to work so he was left alone with Pearl who kept popping in to check on him every hour. He was starting to feel better but his ribs were really sore and he wouldn't be going back to work anytime soon. Pearl had just gone back through to the vets and Jackson decided to make his escape. It's the first time he's been outside since he came out of the hospital. He decided he would go and surprise Aaron and that way if he was too tired to walk back home Aaron would give him a lift in one of the cars from the garage. After putting his shoes and coat on he ventured slowly out of smithy cottage and down through the village. When he got to the pub he had to stop for five minutes to ease the pain but he soon got over it and carried on down to see his boyfriend who he had missed since he had gone back to work. Jackson rounded the corner to the garage and spotted Aaron with his head under a car bonnet, he quietly sneaked up to the teen and smacked him playfully on the bottom. Aaron jumped and hit his head on the car bonnet, he turned getting ready to shout at Ryan but as soon as he realised it was Jackson he smiled widely and kissed him quickly. "What are you doing here? You should be resting" Jackson rolled his eyes "I've been resting for too long, fancy lunch in the pub? I've missed you babe" Aaron blushed and hid his face in Jacksons shoulder. The older man smiled at hugged him, savouring the moment as Aaron wasn't into public displays, until they were interrupted. "Oi twinkle toes, he's got work to do you know" Aaron pulled away from Jackson and glared at Cain. Jackson smiled and said "Could you spare him for an hour. Please don't disappoint an injured man" Jackson battered him eye lashes and smiled stupidly at Cain. "Push off you pair before you make me sick." Aaron laughed and grabbed Jacksons hand as the slowly made their way up to the pub.

Everyone inside made a fuss of Jackson and it took ten minutes just to order two pints and sit down. "I wish they would leave you alone" Aaron grumbled, Jackson laugh "Aww is someone jealous" Aaron playfully smacked him on the arm being careful not to hurt his ribs. "So I was thinking, because you won't be at work for a while and Cain owes me some time off why don't I take you away for a few days. If you're feeling up to it" Aaron suggested. "I think that's the best idea you've had all week" Jackson smiled at his boyfriend's thoughtfulness. "Okay then ill book us something but I'm not telling you were we are going it will be a surprise." Jackson took hold of Aarons hand under the table where nobody could see Jackson fell more in love with this man everyday but when would he be able to tell Aaron that?

The next few days went by uneventful, it is now Thursday morning and Aaron and Jackson are in bed, Aaron has his head on Jackson's chest and his arm around his stomach. Aaron was lying awake as his alarm clock had just gone off. He didn't like going to work and leaving Jackson home on his own he missed him and also worried about him. He was just about to get up when Jackson tightened his hold on him not letting him move, "Jackson I have to go to work" he whispered to his boyfriend. "I don't want you to go I'm too comfy here." Jackson closed his eyes. Aaron struggled against the older man but soon gave up as he had to agree he didn't want to move either. They both loved when they could just cuddle together in bed without anyone interrupting the peace and quiet. Half an hour later Jackson had fallen back to sleep and Aaron slowly released himself from his boyfriends grip and quietly left the room to shower. Before he left he made Jackson some lunch and put it in the fridge and then went and kissed his sleeping boyfriend goodbye before slipping quietly out of the front door.

It was around 12 o'clock when he got a phone call from Jackson asking him to come home as he had a surprise for him. As Aaron walked up towards smithy he saw suitcases outside. "Jackson" he shouted as he walked through the door. "Living room" his boyfriends replied. "Why are there suitcases outside our front door?" "I'm going away for a few days" Aaron frowned, "Where? Why?" Jackson smile at his boyfriend, "I've booked us a suite for a week in a 5 star hotel near Whitby. Luxury spa and pool and amazing food, you're going to love it" Aarons face lit up and then he frowned again "Jackson I can't just leave I have work." Jackson walked over and put his arms around his waist "No you don't I have already sorted it out with Cain and he said it's quiet at the garage so your free to go. Oh and he's lending us his car" Aaron kissed his boyfriend silently thanking him. "I have done your packing for you so now you go and have a shower while I go and get the car and when you're done we can go." Just as Jackson was about to walk out the door Aaron called out to him "Jackson I love you" Jackson got tears in his eyes, this was the first time the teen had said this to him, knowing Aaron would be embarrassed if he made a big scene he simply replied, "I love you to handsome." They smiled at each other and then went the separate ways.

Half an hour later the car was loaded up and they were on the road. Aaron was driving and Jackson's hand was resting on his leg, they were both sat in a comfortable silence enjoying the time together. Since him and Jackson had gotten together properly they had barely spend any length of time alone, there was always Paddy, Hazel or Adam with them. This week was going to be perfect just the two of them, what could go wrong.
