Chapter 3
'This day had to go perfectly.' Barry Barry thought as he woke up on Saturday morning, Jack's birthday. He looked up to Jack's bed where he was still sleeping. Barry was on a mattress on the floor as Olivia didn't want them in the same bed in her house. Barry quietly got up and kissed Jack's forehead gently. "Mmmm..." Jack said quietly. "Happy birthday!" Barry said softly kissing him again. Jack slowly got up smiling. "Thanks babe! So what's the plan today then? Should we invite the others round?" Jack asked. Barry smiled secretly to himself. "Well first I'm going to take you out for a lovely brunch and then we'll come back here and do the presents and invite the others over." Barry said. Jack nodded. "Sounds lovely!" He smiled. Barry had arranged that when they were out for brunch, the others would go round and help Olivia decorate the living room. He had told him what he wanted it to look like. There was a gentle knock on the bedroom door. "Happy birthday sweetheart!" Olivia smiled coming in and giving Jack a card. "Thanks mum!" Jack smiled.
Barry and Jack went out for brunch and the others went to Olivia's house. Olivia let them in. "Hi you lot! Come in!" She smiled at everyone. Everyone smiled back and got on with the decorations. "I can't believe Barry is going to ask Jack to marry him today. I'm so excited!" Dynasty beamed. "Jack has to say yes first!" Kevin smirked, earning a nudge in the ribs by Dynasty. "Owww!" He moaned. "You deserved that mate!" Connor laughed. "Of course, Jack'll say yes. Anyone can see they're meant to be together!" Dynasty smiled. Olivia was smiling at this conversation. After about an hour and a half, Dynasty gave a squeal. "They're two minutes away!" She said. They all went to hide in the kitchen. They heard Barry and Jack come in.
"You were so eyeing up that waiter!" Jack was laughing. "Was not!" Barry laughed as they headed to the living room. "You were..." But then Jack stopped looking at the living room in shock. There was rose petals and candles everywhere. "What the..." Jack said stunned. Barry smiled and pulled him in and sat him on the sofa. Barry sat next to him. "Jack, ever since I came out as gay, you supported me the whole time. God knows I didn't deserve it after what I put you in the first year. But now I truly can't imagine life without you." Barry said and got up from the sofa and knelt down infront of Jack. He pulled out a small box from his back pocket. "Barry..." Jack said in shock. "Jack McAllister, I love you so much. Would you do me the utmost honour of marrying me?" Barry smiled. Jack just stood there in shock, his hand over his mouth. "Well say something then, I'm sort of aching down here!" Barry laughed. Jack got up and flung his arms round Barry. "Of course I'll marry you, you idiot!" Jack said. Barry got up beaming and they kissed. "HE SAID YES!" Barry shouted and everyone from the kitchen came in and hugged them both. Olivia came in smiling. "Congratulations both of you." She smiled. "You all knew?" Jack said shocked. "Of course they did! Who do you think did the decorations?" Barry smiled. Jack laughed. "Wow this really is the best birthday ever!" He beamed.
They let the excitement calm down before they started doing presents. All their friends gave them first. He was chuffed with all of them. A football, some shirt, and a framed photo of him and Barry from Kasey. Olivia then handed over an envelope to Jack. "Happy birthday sweethheart." She smiled. Jack beamed and opened it. He then gasped and looked at his mum. "Is this serious?" Olivia laughed. "Of course! It's about time you and Barry had your own place seeing as though you are going to get married!" Both Barry and Jack were shocked but really happy and excited, and they both hugged Olivia. "Thanks mum! You're the best!" Jack beamed. "You can move in tomorrow, it's all sorted." Olivia smiled. "It's a really lovely house and big enough for when you want to have children."
Everyone left having had a lovely day at about 8. Barry and Jack were watching some tv, cuddled up on the sofa. "This really has been the best day ever. Thank you!" Jack smiled and kissed Barry. Barry smiled back. "I'm glad."
