Jackson was sat in the taxi on the way back to Emmerdale, he'd had a night out with the rest of his class, they'd had a meal out and a few drinks it had been a really enjoyable night, that was until the taxi turned the corner and in it's headlights it illuminated Dale Head and parked outside was a police car, Jackson felt his heart stop for a second, had something happened?, was Aaron alright?, he was out of the cab before it had stopped flung the fare at the driver before racing up the path and through the front door

"Aaron!" he yelled coming to a stop when he saw his boyfriend sitting on the sofa in their living room, "What's happened? Are you okay?"

The police sergeant stood up "Are You Jackson?"

"Yeah I am" the builders eyes never left his boyfriends face

"There's been an incident, an intruder, Mr Livesy woke up to find a man in his bedroom, he ran out when he realised that Mr Livesy was awake, I've just finished taking his statement is there anything else you can remember?"

Aaron didn't speak but he shook his head

"Alright, if your sure and now Jackson is here, I'm okay to leave you but be assured that there will be a patrol car in the area, if you see or hear anything then just ring, Okay well Goodnight then" and the sergeant left

Now they were alone Jackson was uncertain of what to do, he looked at his boyfriend he was sat on the sofa hugging his knee's

"Aaron" Jackson spoke quietly not wanting to frighten him "Are you okay?" it was a silly question but he didn't know what else to say

Watery blue eyes looked up at the builder

"It was Brett" the mechanic whispered "It was Brett that was in our room, it was Brett that was kissing Me"

Jackson couldn't hide his shock at those words

"Kissing you?"

"I thought it was you, I thought you'd got back from town, I'd been to the pub, I'd had a couple of pints and was talking to this guy, then I started to feel strange so I left My drink and came home, I got into bed and then I thought it was you" the mechanic started to weep

Jackson who had been standing now enfolded his boyfriend in his arms

"Shush, Hush, it's okay, you're safe and that's all that matters" he soothed

"It didn't smell like you and there was no stubble and he didn't kiss like you, so I kneed him in the groin and I bit his tongue, it was dark, He ran, But I know it was him, Jackson, I know"

Aaron looked at Jackson, he needed him, now more than ever

"Kiss Me Jackson, Please, I want the feel of your lips, I want to remember what they feel like"

"Are you sure" Jackson wanted that too, the thought of someone else's lips on Aaron's was killing him

Aaron brought his hand up to the back of Jackson neck and sank his fingers into his hair as he pulled the builder towards him, their lips met and Aaron knew he was safe at last

The two men were laid in bed, every noise had the mechanic on edge, the screech of owls in the woods had him up at the window scouring the village below their window in case Brett was still lurking in the bushes, the sedative had worn off as had the effects of the alcohol they had both consumed

"Come back to bed Aaron" the builder was getting worried that Aaron was not telling him something

"He's been on our bed,, even though we've changed the sheets I can still see him crouching over Me can still feel his hands on Me, what if I hadn't woken up?, what if I'd finished that drink come home and been unconscious when he was in this room what would he have done to Me?" Aaron shivered at the thought

"But you did wake up, and you gave him a nasty surprise by kneeing him he won't try anything like that again"

"How'd you know?"

"Coz I'm going to guard you with My life, because without you I don't have a life " the builder was looking at his boyfriend he saw that he needed a little bit more convincing, now come here lets make some good memories in this bed that'll banish those bad memories you've got in your head" he reached out and tugged the mechanic so he fell on the bed the builder climbed on top of him kissing him so that all he could think of was Jackson and what he was doing first with his lips and then with his hands and finally his body

Jackson went to see farmer Taylor with the documents that Cole had faxed through if he signed Jackson also had a cheque in his pocket to give to the farmer, Aaron was left at home, he was minding Bean so had told the builder that he didn't have to rush back he was looking forward to having his Godson all to himself for a while, Anna and Ben would be gone all day as they were on a shopping trip for the furniture for the new Restaurant, they were also seeing the sign writer about the Restaurants name, it was a secret what they were calling it stating that everyone would find out on opening night

There was a knock on the door, Aaron hesitated for a minute, what if it was Brett, he scolded himself, he wasn't going to come back and especially not in the day time, he opened it to reveal a pretty, slim, young woman, she was wrapped up against the cold

"Jackson Walsh?" the young lady enquired

"No, Sorry He's out" Aaron giggled Bean into a more comfortable position in his arms

"What an adorable baby, is He yours?" the girl had put her finger in Beans hand and watched his fingers wrap around hers she smiled

"No, He's My Godson" Aaron wouldn't usually give such information away but this girl just had a way of phrasing questions, more like a conversation than questions which is why Aaron had answered almost without thinking

"Will he be long?"

"Who?"

"Jackson, I'm here to do an article on him" the young lady smiled

"You're a journalist?" now the mechanic was getting suspicious

"Yeah, I'm Emma Robinson, this is My card" and she handed Aaron a business card

He looked down at the card, moved back so she let go of Beans hand, and closed the door in her face

Bloody Hacks, how did they find out where Jackson was living?. Brett, once again this had to be Brett's doing, when was he ever going to leave them alone!

The letter box rattled and the voice of the journalist came through

"I can either interview him and write the truth or I can make something up, his choice, get him to ring me My numbers on the card" and the letter box clattered shut

Aaron stood for a second before he opened the door

"You better come in, Jackson shouldn't be long
