I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN THIS FIC ITV DO AND SOME OTHER PEOPLE.
Aaron was in town having had to pick up parts for work. He had stopped of at the shop to get a few things. When he was just about to leave when the plastic handle broke on his bag and the shopping went every where. Great he thought just what I need. He was in the middle of picking the stuff up when he saw another customer of the shop bend down and help him gather his things whilst the rest of the shop watched in amusement. He was about to ask for another bag but the friendly customer got in there first.
'There you go' the friendly customer said handing him the bag. 'I'm rob,' the man said.
'I'm Aaron,' he replied a little embarrassed by his over friendliness, and shook his hand. 'Thanks for the help', he said gratefully, getting to his feet.
'No problem'. He held the door open for him. He was good looking Aaron thought, a few years older than him and the oddest colour eyes, a kind of a grey-green colour.
He blushed suddenly when he realised that he had been staring at him like a fool. He walked out to his car and placed the bag on the back seat. Rob followed him over. His heart did a little flip.
'Hi again', he laughed. 'Erm...I was wondering if you would like to go for a drink?' then he laughed, glancing at his watch. 'Actually, it's a little early for that. How about a coffee?'.
He was a very confident man and he rested himself coolly against the car opposite Aaron. His hands in his pockets.
'Erm..'Aaron thought about it. What harm could it do to go for a coffee with a man who had been so polite to him?
He was just about to say yes when Rob glanced down and his smile faded. ' Oh, sorry didn't realise...' He backed away from him and all Aaron could do was stare after him confused. What had he said or done. He looked down and realised what caused him to run away it was his ring. The ring that Jackson had given him just before he died and he was currently wearing it on his wedding finger. He sighed loudly and rubbed his face then got back to his car and headed back to work.
It was 8 o'clock by the time Aaron had gotten home after finishing work late. He went into the kitchen and stuck the food in the microwave that Hazel had cooked for him earlier and sat at the table waiting for it to ping. He looked down at his ring and immediately felt guilty. When that man had walked away from him he had given him that look as if he was about to initiate an affair when that was the last thing in the world he would ever do. He had felt guilty for even considering accepting his invitation for a coffee. If Aaron had left Jackson because they just couldn't get on any more he could understand being able eventually to be attracted to someone else. But he hadn't Jackson had died. He had died when they were both still so madly in love with each other and he couldn't just fall out of love all of a sudden because Jackson wasn't around any more. He still felt as though he was in a relationship, and going for coffee today would have seemed as if he was betraying Jackson. The very thought disgusted him. His heart, soul and mind still belonged with him. With Jackson...
Aaron twisted the ring around. When should he take it off. Jackson had been gone almost six months now. And what exactly should he do with it if and when he took it off, put it beside his bed so he could be reminded every day... No, he wasn't ready to give up on his Jackson yet. As far as he was concerned he was still living.
Aaron woke to a constant banging on the door. He really wasn't in the mood for visitors. He got up and went to answer it but before he even got chance to Hazel had already let the visitor in. he could hear it was Adam. 'where is he' he could hear him ask but before she got chance to answer him he had made his way through to the bedroom/living room.
'Have you opened it yet?'
Aaron just looked at him, still half asleep he was confused at what his friend was asking him.
'The letter Aaron have you opened it?. Its the first.!'
'Err...Err no not yet.' he was a little shocked at the fact his friend had remembered. He thought he would have forgotten about them by now.
'Well come on the, I'm dying to know what his plans are for you this time. Another karaoke maybe?'
Aaron just looked at him as if to say he better not have. He rooted through the remaining envelopes until he came to the one he wanted. He found July's and sat back down on the end of the bed. He was a little nervous about what could be in this months. It read:
Have a good holiday!
P.S. I Love You...
' Is that it?' Adam wrinkled up his nose. 'It's a lovely note. It's so thoughtful and it's...
Aaron just laughed at him. 'No you fool!' he said hitting him over the head with the paper. 'There is something else inside as well.' he handed him the torn off piece of paper that was in there as well.
He watched in amusement as Adam tried to figure it all out.
'Oh my God! Did Jackson buy you a holiday?'
'No' Aaron said seriously. He could see that Adam seemed a little disappointed by this. 'Adam, he bought us a holiday!'
'Wow' Adam said.
'Yeah wow. Looks like we are of to lanzarote!. ..Erm will Mia be ok with this..I mean you flying to another country without her I mean?'
'Yeah she will be fine with it'.
