CHAPTER FOUR

Aaron Livsey had been working at the Hotten garage on loan from Cain for 3 days now, Cain had promised him it would be temporal, but surprizingly he was starting to enjoy it, mainly because of the lads, Paul and Tony were great and reminded him of the likes of Ryan or Adam, but it was Matt who had interested him right from the start,ever since Cain had mentioned to him about Matt seeing him 'around'...

There hadn't been too much conversation between them so far, but today as Aaron made himself a brew in the small rest room, Matt joined him. Aaron sat down and watched with the corner of his eye as Matt wased his hands and then dried them with the tee towel, " so...how are you liking it here..." Matt asked him, Aaron clutched a copy of the car trader magazine that he was about to read, but smiled glad to finaaly start a conversation with him, " yeah...different from what I'm used to...it's top!"

Matt made himself a mug of tea, and sat in the moth eating chair opposite Aaron, " I've seen you out and about you know...", Aaron swallowed, " yeah, Cain...me boss like...he said", Matt grinned, "I prefer Club 21 though...the lads there are alot fitter...", Aaron bit his bottom lip and shrugged his shoulders, " I wouldn't know...I am..."

"in a relationship, I know...little guy with the beard...builder type...", Aaron raised his eyebrowes, " that's him...", Matt tapped his mug, " mind you...I haven't seen you out and about much lately though...", Aaron sipped his brew, " nah...I...well...we sorta go to Leeds..." he lied...he didn't know why he said that...WHY...was he ashamed of saying he and Jackson stay at home with Jack.

"Leeds is mint...the clubs there are better..." agreed Matt, " I should tag along sometime like...", Aaron stood and washed up his mug, Matt stood and brushed past him, the aroma of aftershave and sweat turned Aaron on...it made him go red...he nervously glanced at Matt who winked at him, and he went off into the car hall, Aaron shook his head hard, what was he thinking...

Aaron worked on a motor opposite Matt that afternoon, and Aaron kept looking up and finding himself stealing secret glances at Matt...he then realised it was 3 oclock, and Jackson was supposed to be picking him up to go to the Registry office for their interviews. Aaron was glad Paul came over to relief him on the hydrolic hoist, and he quickly hurried to the changing area to rid himself of the greasy overalls...stripping out of them, he decided to grab a quick shower...it was the first garage he'd came across with a built in mini shower...he hurriedly stepped in and lathered himself down...then after rising himself off, he jumped out to see Matt leaning against the locker...luckily Aaron had a towel around him to hide his modesty, "FIT bod!" teased Matt, Aaron was self conscious, and sat down...Matt laughed at him, " hey...I'm only teasing...I do it to ALL the lads here, ask Paul...and he's straight!" he reasured,

Aaron smiled at him, " yeah...it's cool...", he stood and turned, " but I DO want to get dressed, so if you don't mind mate...", Matt folded his arms, " don't mind me...", Aaron felt alittle uneasy...but Matt laughed again, " I'm TEASING YOU...I'll see you in a bit...", he laughed again and headed off, Aaron wasted no time and quickly got dressed...Matt made him feel uneasy in a creep kind of way...maybe he wasn't as interesting as he thought, he shook his head, grabbed his ruck sack and headed off to meet Jackson.

Aaron stil thought about Matt at the Registry office, both he and Jackson sat in the office as the registrar woman named Janet, was filling in their information on a computer screen, Janet looked up, " now...I need to ask a few questions to both of you...they ARE the same for you both...so there's no trick ones...", she looked up to Jackson first, " Jackson what is Aaron's date of birth...", Jackson shifted in his seat, " 12th January 1992..."

" and where was Aaron born...", Janet asked, typing in the date, "Leeds", Aaron listened as Jackson answered ALL of his questions correctly about him...Jackson knew erverything about him...it was kinda sweet...but Janet was no sooner staring at him now, " Aaron...the same drill..." she joked with a warm smile, " what is Jackson's date of birth...", Aaron licked his lips, "errr...5th August 1987.."

"and where was he born..."

"Harrogate...", Aaron felt confident, but this ALL SEEMED TOO formal...to REAL...and as they came out the Registry office, and headed down the frontage steps, Jackson turned to him with a wide grin, " hey...you did REALLY WELL in there..." he soothed, Aaron nodded, " I bollixed up..."

"only because you were so nervous..." told Jackson, " but it's all done now...just think this time next month we'll be well and truely shackled to eachother!" he jested with his grin.

Aaron tried to smile...as Jackson rambled on, " I'm gonna came down here again tomorrow to see our names up on the board...15 days they are up for...", Aaron followed him to the parked van, they both jumped in and sat in silence, Jackson gently placed his hand over Aaron's, "I love you...", Aaron felt choked up and turned, " I...I love YOU", Jackson smiled, " that's alright then..." Aaron stared ahead, " I feel like a drink..." he said, Jackson shook his head as he started the vans engine, " so do I...lets have a sneaky one at Bar West...I'll ring Lisa and tell her to drop Jack over at Mill cottage with Mum yeah...", Aaron nodded with a sigh, " yeah...why not..."

At Bar West it seemed wierd being there when it was virtually daylight out...but for Aaron he really didn't care, he stood at the bar and ordered the drinks, as Jackson went to the toilet, he nursed his pint and turned his head to watch the other punters laugh and joke together...one young lad about his age was raging on about some big party he was to in Ibiza...another couple were bragging on about busy nights out all over the up coming weekend...Aaron sighed, he was lucky to get a pint in at the Woolie, and that'll be early...he felt quilty...it wasn't fair...but they had little Jack at the moment...he had to be responisble...he was committed...but he not help wondering about other peoples lifes...the ones who were having all the fun...

The hand suddenly slapped hard down onto his shoulder, and at first Aaron thought it was Jackson...but he nearly jumped when he saw Matt standing there looking all tarted up and smelling all nice, " Aaron mate...you didn't say you were coming here...is that why you left early!", Aaron sat on the bar stool, and smiled, " I had an appointment..."

"yeah yeah..." laughed Matt, " likely story...you just wanted to grab an early start to the weekend didn't yah, you cheeky sod!", suddenly Jackson was standing beside them, Aaron could see Jackson's instant dislike to Matt in his facial expression, " Jackson...this is Matt, he erm..", Matt held out his hand to Jackson, " work with Aaron at the garage", Jackson raised his eyebrowes and shook Matt's hand, " well...any mate of Aaron's is a mate of mine...just as yah names not Tom...", Aaron scowled at Jackson, Matt turned and placed one hand on each of their backs, " so guys...can I buy you a drink..."

Over the drink, Jackson warmed to Matt...especially when they had a quick game of pool, Aaron glanced at his watch and downed his pint, " Jackson it's nearly 6.30, wegotta get home for...", Jackson was quick to act, " JACK...Mums gonna kill me...and it's swimming tonight!" he cried, Matt throw down his pool stick and put an arm around Jackson's shoulder, " good to play yah mate...should do it again soon..." and just as Aaron joined them, he felt a hand caress his backside, he smiled at Jackson and they left for the exit, " Mum is SO gonna kill us..." whined Jackson, Aaron smirked, " didn't stop yah from grabbing a feel of me..." he teased, Jackson shook his head at him. " No time mate...we gotta go..." Jackson headed down the steps, Aaron looked back at Matt to see him give him a playful wink and touched his own backside...Aaron opened mouthed...hurried off after Jackson...the cheek of that Matt guy was unbelieviable...

...but it made him feel very naughty...even though he also felt quilty...
