Aaron is staring at his suit jacket, thinking if he should dress smart tonight, it is a big deal after all. Even though he has already met Jackson's father, which wasn't the best greeting. So tonight he wants to make a better impression, for Jackson, anyways. He decides to go with his light blue jumper and his dark jeans, with the suit Jacket. To the mechanic, that is smart dressing! He squirts some aftershave on to his body and stamps down stairs. He was nervous about tonight, it was only a few drinks and a meal in the wool pack, but he wanted Jerry to like him. Jackson forgave his father awhile ago and he seems to be accepting his son and Aaron. So the teen decided to make an effort to get to know him. Paddy is stunned to see surrogate son all dressed up.

"You look nice" the vet smiled

the blue teen just grunted and headed out the door. Aaron was early, Jackson hasn't even showed up yet! He leans over the bar counter and orders himself a pint. He spots Ally, the new blonde who has moved into his aunt Gennie's flat and who is also now best friends with his boyfriend, which Aaron isn't pleased about. His face drops when he sees her picking up glasses.

"Don't tell me she's working here?" he moaned at his mum.

"she started today, why what's wrong?" Chas asks.

"Nowt, she just annoys me"

"who doesn't?" Chas sighs

The mechanic makes a face at his mothers comment and grabs a table before it gets busy. He's just about to phone the builder when he sees Jerry walk in, alone. Great! He thought to himself. The red headed man orders a pint and sits down next to the mechanic.

"Hazel and Jackson are still getting ready, be here shortly" Jerry sips his pint awkwardly

Aaron doesn't say anything, he just nods. Twenty minutes later and Hazel and Jackson finally arrive. Aaron doesn't know why the builder complains about his mother always being late, when he's just as bad.

The night is going well, although, Hazel is doing most of the talking. She gives a look to her ex-husband and kicks his foot under the table.

"So, Aaron. Jackson tells me you're a mechanic" Jerry blurts out.

"uh, yeah" Aaron answers.

"He works for his uncle" Jackson buts in "and is also at college"

"Oh right, that's good" Jerry smiles, pretending he cares. "how did you two meet?" his tone now bitter.

"Jerry!" Hazel moans

"No, No! I want to hear it from him" Jerry stares into the teens blue eyes.

"Dad! That was a long time ago. Things are different now, just leave it" the builder begs.

"Fine" Jerry huffs while sipping his third pint.

Things got a lot more awkward after that and Hazel was the only one talking again. Jerry called it a night and promised Jackson they will do again soon. Hazel made an excuse to leave also, like she was hiding something.

The boys decided to make a night of it and stayed in the woolie. Jackson went to the bar to order the next round. At the corner of his eye, Aaron spotted his best mate, Adam.

"Alright mate! The farm boy greets

"Join us if you want"

"Cheers" Adam sits down and can't seem to keep his eyes off the new barmaid

"Don't even think about it" Aaron laughs

"What ya on about? I'm just looking!"

"Good, cause trust me you ain't her type"

"you mean? She's a?" Adams eyes widen

"yep!" the mechanic downs the last of his pint.

The three lads enjoy the rest of the night in the pub. Jackson arranged a night out for them at bar-west on Friday night. Aaron was up for it until his boyfriend mentioned that he invited Ally. The mechanic had no idea what his problem was with her. Its not like Jackson was going to run with her! He was like that with all his mates though. Maybe he just doesn't like sharing him?

Adam heads back to butlers farm and the boys head back to Paddy's. They stop when they see Hazel staggering out a cab at dale head.

"I thought ya mum said she had washing to do?" Aaron asks confused.

"So did I, she's clearly up to something" Jackson nudges his boyfriend and they both enter the house.
