CHAPTER 15
A/N: Thanks for the reviews...Shawny there are alot of questions need answering...the answers will be revealed gradually, but you MAY not like some of them...Leanne, I like angst to...but there is angst that can go too far...and Julie...I do hope Jack's ok...he will reappear soon...hopefully in one piece..and Chicky Matt is still a pratt i know...and Lucy don't imagine what matt had in store for Aaron with his mates, it was pure sleaze (and where's faggy- I know how he likes mr and mrs evil! lol)... ..THAT's enough of me teasing I'm sorry...xx
Aaron made his way back to the van, and jumped in...for a while he sat in the quiet darkness..tears sprang up from his ducts, why was LIFE so complicated...while couldn't Tom and jackson just GET ON...he sat for a while longer having a ciggy...Jackson would moan at him of course...SMOKING in the van...then Matt was at the van's window, "BOO..." joked with some laughter, Aaron rolled his eyes, as he wiped away his tears, " HOW OLD are you...", Matt jumped in the van next to him, " you weren't just gonna go without saying owt were yah...", Aaron shrugged, " yeah sorry...just not in the mood...", Matt decided to press things, " that guy...Tom what's his face...he upset yah...", Aaron turned, "how do you know that...", Matt was honest with him, " I...went and talked to him...thought he upset yah..."
"what do you think I am...soft or what...", Matt smiled, " no course not...he told me about you and Jackson...and...Rhys...blimey I WAS SURPRIZED...HE'S A DARK HORSE...", Aaron was fuming, how dare Tom spill Matt with his business...Matt placed a hand on Aaron's thigh, "He MUST of been mad...I'd NEVER do that to you...", Aaron glanced at the hand on his thigh and looked up, " do you mind...", Matt retreathed his hand, " sorry...", Aaron threw out the butt end of his ciggy, and leaned across to the van's glove department, " He'll kill me for smoking in his van...", as the glove department fell open Aaron grabbed the can of air freshener, then saw felt the clothy material, he pulled what he thought would be an old rag or something but he gasped in surprize.
Matt smirked...although careful not to let on to Aaron...
Aaron stared at the pair of black boxers shorts in his hands...they weren't Jackson's...
and they weren't his own...
Aaron felt the anger rise up from the pit of his stomach..."HE PROMISED...HE PROMISED HE'LL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN...NOT SINCE RHYS...
CAN... COULD HE..."
Matt could see Aaron was getting stressed out, he decided to play it safe, " look...I'm sure there's an honest reason why..them being in there...even if it does look...incriminating..." Aaron wiped away tears with his sleeve, " I'm gonna go home and have it out with him...I'm NOT having it...treating me like this...after ALL i'm doing for him...", Matt couldn't help but wander WHAT THAT MENT, but that was something for another time, " look, mate...come back to mine...calm down think about WHAT you are gonna say...", Aaron gave him a look that said, are you thick or what, " I DO...I JUST HAVE TO SHOW HIM THESE!", he dangled the pants in front of Matt's nose, Matt shook his head, "just come home with me...have a coffee...calm down...you've got trust issues here...and you can't go wading in and HAVING IT OUT!", Aaron stared at the boxers, that sat now on the dashboard, " alright...but I doubt I'll change me mind...", Matt sat back smirking as Aaron started the engine, ready for Matt to give him directions back to his place.
Aaron stared around Matt's place, it was quite a large modern flat in Hotten, it was tidy, and it was stylish...not that Aaron could give a toss about stylish...he sat down on the plush leather sofa that felt cool on his backside...he hated leather, even though it looked stylish...Matt brought in the two mugs of coffee, " there you go mate...get this down yah...I've even given you a shot of brandy in it...", Aaron took the mug and shook his head, " Thanks, but I'm driving remember...", Matt placed his mug down onto the coffee table and looked at him, " then get a cab back to the village if you are worried...or..." he smiled at him cheekily, "i've got a nice big king sized bed in there...", he nodded toward a open doorway...Aaron could just make out the satin sheets from this distance.
"Nah...EVEN IF Jackson's a cheat...I'm not..." said Aaron sadly, looking into his drink...Matt raised his eyebrowes playing the game, " YOU don't know that...but IF he was...why not do the same...if it's good enough for the goose...", Aaron glared up at him, " I SAID I'M NOT A CHEAT...", Matt held up his hands, " sorry...that was bad of me...", Aaron glanced at his watch..it had gone 11 and he had promised Jackson he wouldn't be home late, "look I'm gonna have to go...", he downed the coffee...the brandy in it nearly made him choke, Matt stood up, "look...remember BE CALM...don't just brawl all over him..." he advised, Aaron pulled on his jacket, "yeah...whatever..." he headed to the door and turned, " nice place by the way...and cheers for the drink...", he then let himself out...Matt watched the door close, then raced to the window and looked at Jackson's van parked under the streetlight below, he grabbed his mobile and keyed in Jackson's mobile number...THAT could become useful for another time...he stood back when he saw Aaron appear and jumped in...and within moments the Van drove off, Matt knew Aaron well another now...he wouldn't do the calm approach...but THAT WAS HIM...he had advised on the calm touch...and he will be waiting to be the shoulder to cry on...
Aaron sped alittle on the way home down the country lanes...all he could think about was Jackson with another guy...how dare he...the music in the van got to him...David Bowie's 'let's dance' wasn't his kind of music, it was Jackson going through a retro phase...it iritated him...but it let him be mad...he wanted to be really mad at him...because he loved him SO much...he knew he'd forgive him...and it made him angry to think he was a mug for putting up with this...as he rounded the bend...the boxers shorts flew across the dash to the passenger seat...the evidence he needed to interrigate Jackson...BUT CALMLY...Matt was right...he had to be calm...wacking up the radio, he wanted to get all the anger out now...ready for his calmer self to confront Jackson.
Jackson sat at the bar of the Woolie, his Mum was beside him, Chas had called last orders some time ago, " oh well better drink up..." told Jackson glancing at his watch, "Aaron will be home soon i'd expect...", Hazel finished her white wine, " oh yeah...where did you say he was again...", Jackson rolled his eyes as he pulled on his leather Jacket, " Clubbing with his mates...", Chas had heard as she came to collect their glasses, " My Aaron off the leash a..." she laughed, Hazel turned, " yep...anything could happen..." she mused, Chas turned to her, "are you saying MY Aaron's out on the pull...", Jackson had already got in between them, "OI OI OI...no arguing please...I've got to get home...", Chas and Hazel glared at eachother, before Hazel focused on her son, " now you can see why I need to find somewhere else...it's a wonder we're both still alive living under the same roof...", Jackson watched Chas wipe down the bar and smile at him, he then looked at his own Mum...those two WOULD HAVE to get on...because when he and Aaron were gone...they'd need eachother...
After walking his Mum home to Mill cottage, Jackson made himself over to Dale head and saw the Van parked out side...Aaron was home...and he wasn't THAT late...he smiled to himself...he felt quite horny tonight...maybe it was the warm night...or the beer making him randy...he let himself in and saw Aaron standing in the kitchen...arms crossed...face like thunder..., " alright my little prince...good night out..." he asked removing his jacket, Aaron glared at him, " it was...INTERESTING..." snapped Aaron, " YOU...seeing since you SAID you were stopping in tonight...", Jackson smiled sheepishly, " Errrrrr...you caught me out...there were nowt on the box, so I nipped out for a quick pint..." he playfully held his hands up, "you've CAUGHT ME RED HANDED..."
"I CERTAINLY HAVE..." snapped Aaron, and before Jackson could even drop his arms, a pair of pants came smacking into his face like lightening...the pants fell to the floor, Jackson pulled a frown and stooped down, picking them up, " SO whose are they...OR can YOU even remember..." cried Aaron...the tone of his voice raising slightly, Jackson stared at the boxers in his grasp and looked up...he pulled his eyebrowes together, " IS THIS A JOKE...what are you actually saying to me here...", Aaron glared at him and pointed to the pants, " I FOUND THEM PAIR OF SCANKS IN YOUR VAN!", Jackson's mind raced...PANTS!...in his van...he didn't understand, " there NOT mine..." cried Jackson...Aaron came forward...his face rather smug, "AND THEY ARE NOT MINE...SO...whose ARE they Jackson..."
Jackson realised what Aaron was saying, " YOU THINK...oh come on Aaron..." he chucked the pants aside and came forward holding Aaron's arms, " YOU KNOW ME...do you think I'm...",
"NO...course not..." stammered Aaron...but his face betrayed him, Jackson raised his hands and went into the lounge, " Blimey...you've totally blown me away Aaron...WE'VE been married less than a fortnight...and you think I'm sleeping around aready...thanks Aaron...thanks for your trust...", Aaron came forward, " trust...like I trusted you when you went to Southampton that time...", Jackson swung around, " OH CHEERS AARON...THANKS FOR REMINDING ME...because YOU ALWAYS DO..." he was fuming...HOW could Aaron even think of him doing this...YES he slept with Rhys...but that was history...and he'd paid for it BIG time...he slowly glanced at the pants on the carpet..Aaron WAS right though...to be suspect about him...HOW did they get in his Van.
Aaron had turned his back on Jackson...he was facing out the kitchen window into his own reflection...Jackson said he didn't know anything about the pants...was he lying to him now...this was stressing him out now...
And Jackson could see it was...he felt Aaron's stress...Jackson had already worked out HOW the pants got into his van...MATT...oh he'll need proof...but IT WAS SOMETHING HE'D DO...he'd met lads like him before...Aaron wouldn't have it though...he knew him and Matt didn't get on...and Aaron would think it was just spite...Jackson slapped his head loudly, "DAMN IT...DAWN IT...those flaming lads are UP TO THEIR OLD TRICKS AGAIN...", Aaron turned with a puzzled gaze, " lads...trick...", Jackson plastered a smile on his face, " it's a joke they play...mind you LAST time it happened to me it were a pair of girls panties...before they realised I batted for the other team...THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME...", Aaron nodded...trying to take in the info, " so...let me get this straight...your work colleages are playing a trick on yah...", Jackson shook his head, " yep..you ring Ray in the morning...he'll tell yah...Blimey...you should have seen DAN's Face when he found lacy panties in me van when I was with him...remember Dan, when you were with Ben...", Aaron shook his head, " I remember...I'm...Jackson...I'm Sorry...", Jackson quickly brought Aaron into a cuddle, "ON JACK'S LIFE...I HAVEN'T CHEATED ON YAH...", Aaron buried his face into Jackson's shoulder, "I'm sorry...I feel like a right idiot...it's just because I LOVE you so much...the thought of...",
Jackson pulled away from him, and held Aaron's face in his palms, " I know...AND if I thought you were playing away...I'd kill them...", he picked up the boxer shorts and shoved them into the bin, Jackson then took Aaron's hand, " lets make up...I love it when we fight...because the sex after IS SOOOO GOOD..." he teased with a big enticing grin, Aaron grinned too and let himself be dragged up the stairs by his man.
both not noticing Jackson's phone on the counter hum into life as he received a message;
when are we gonna meet for a second round...I can't stop thinking about yah...R x
At his flat Matt sat on his stylish leather sofa with a great big fat grin on his face...and snapped shut his spare mobile...
