Hey, sorry I haven't updated in a while. Had loads of exams over the past few weeks so been revising A LOT. But here it is, the next chapter. Hope you all enjoy it :)
Jack and Ianto sat in Ianto's back garden together. It had been three hours since they had told Tosh and Owen they were together.
"Ianto. I'm home." Trina Jones shouted from the back door.
"Hi mum. Good day?"
"Ah same old. Is Jack with you." Ianto looked over at the boy who was laying on his back with his eyes closed next to him. "Yeah he is."
"Is he staying for dinner?" Ianto gently nudged Jack.
"I am awake you know." He said, which made Ianto smile.
"You staying for dinner?"
"Don't see why not."
"Yeah he is mum." Ianto shouted back at his mother.
"Ok. You two should be getting ready for tomorrow. It's gonna be a long day."
"Don't worry mum. We have it all covered." Ianto gave Trina a reassuring smile.
"Well dinner is gonna be about 2 hours. I have to make a couple of calls first. Have fun." As Ianto watched his mum go back into the house, he went back to laying next to Jack and looking up at the sky. Jack once again put his arm around Ianto's neck and bought him closer.
"When are you gonna tell her Ianto?" Jack asked.
"I dunno. It's all been a bit of a blur for me." Jack smiled. "What about you?"
"To be honest, I think they have already guessed I have found someone. Apparently my attitude changes around the house when I have found someone I truly love."
"Oh really?" Ianto asked sarcastically raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah really. I dunno, I guess I just change." Ianto sat up and turned to face Jack.
"Jack, you are the greatest thing that has happened to me in a while. You have given me meaning again." Jack frowned.
"I'm not quite following you." Ianto sighed. It was now he should really tell his boyfriend about Lisa. About the accident. About how she died.
"When I lived in London and attended the Institute, I had a girlfriend."
"Yeah I know that." Ianto looked at Jack in confusion. "Your mum told me."
"Oh. Well, we were madly in love. Inseparable. But then there was the accident…" Ianto's voice trailed off. He didn't want to seem weakened by mentioning it. But Jack could tell he was clearly uncomfortable about it.
"Ianto, baby don't mention it if you don't want to. All I care about is that you have told me about her. I don't want to know what happened if it makes my boy upset."
"Thank you Jack." Jack placed a kiss on the side of Ianto's face.
"Don't mention it. All I want is my gorgeous boyfriend to have a smile on his face and love his life as it is. The only thing I want." Ianto smiled and leant in closer to Jack. "I love you too much Jack to see you get hurt."
