Chapter 2
It was the end of the day and all the friends went their separate ways. Barry and Jack, to Jack's mums, Connor and Imogen to Connor's, Dynasty and Kasey home and Kevin to the schoolhouse.
"Mum we're home!" Jack called as he and Barry entered the house. Olivia appeared from the living room. "Hello you two! Good first day back?" She smiled. They both nodded. "Good, dinner at 6 you two and no funny business!" She shouted after them going up the stairs. "I'm just going to have a shower." Jack said. Barry nodded. When Jack was in the shower, Barry went downstairs. "Mrs McAllister?" He said in the living room. Olivia turned round. "Oh hi Barry. And please call me Olivia." She smiled kindly. "I was wondering whether I could talk to you about something.." He said. Olivia nodded. "Of course! Come and sit down!" She smiled.
Barry sat down full of nerves not knowing how she was going to react about what she was going to say. "I...You know I love Jack right?" He started. Olivia smiled. "I know that darling." Barry nodded. 'Just say it!' He thought to himself. "I...I want to ask your permission to let me ask him to marry me." Barry said. Olivia was shocked. "You've only been going out a year Barry." She pointed out. "Don't you think it's a bit early to think about that?" Barry shook his head. "I love him so much, I want to grow old with him and have children with him. I would never ever hurt him." He said so passionately that it touched Olivia. Olivia took a breath. "Look I'm not going to lie and say I'm totally for this. You are still really young." She started. Barry sighed. "But..." She said. Barry looked up. "You have my permission to ask him and it will be his choice." She said. Barry beamed. "Thank you! Thank you so much!" He said. He was planning to do it on Jack's 19th birthday which was at the weekend. This was the happiest he had been in years.
He then texted his sisters. I've got something to tell you both. Will mum let you out of the house? xx He texted.
He got texts back immediately. Yeh meet you at park! xx
Barry got up. "Can you tell Jack I've just popped out to see Dyn and Kas? I won't be long!" He said. Olivia nodded. "Of course!"
Barry left the house and went to the park. He smiled almost immediately. Kasey was playing football trying to get Dynasty involved but she was having none of it. Barry ran over and tackled the ball away and kicked it in the goal. "Hey!" Kasey laughed. Barry smirked. "Anyway, I can't stay long. I just want to tell you some news." "What news?" Dynasty asked intrigued. "I...I'm going to ask Jack to marry me." Barry smiled. There was silent shocked pause until Kasey ran and hugged her brother. "That's amazing!" She beamed. "Yeh congrats Baz!" Dynasty smiled hugging her brother too. Barry beamed glad his sisters supported him. "I'm going to do it on Jack's birthday. I'll need all your help! I'll tell you more soon but I need to get back!" He smiled. The girls nodded and watched Barry run away.
Barry got back to Jack's and Jack was already out of the shower. He smiled when he saw Barry and kissed him. "Your mum still driving your sisters nuts then?" He said. "Yeh something like that..." Barry smirked to himself. They all sat down for supper and Barry started thinking about how much preparation he had to do before Saturday. He wanted to make it a day to remember.
