Adam was exicited, tonight was a life model class and Hazel had promised that the first model would be a female, Adam was fairly slobbering at the thought he'd even turned up at Smithy Cottage a full 30 minutes early and was itching to get going, he wanted to bag a good seat where he could see everything and he was telling Aaron to get a move on knowing that the other men in the class would be having the same idea.
Sitting in class Aaron had chosen his usual seat where as all the other male students had formed a line at the front to get birds eye view of the beauty that Hazel had promised, just as Hazel was coming into class Adam's phone went off
"Hiya Dad, What, no, okay I'm on My way" the farmer snapped his phone closed picked up his coat and turned to Aaron "Sorry, gatta go the cows had got loose and one is in a ditch so I'll have to go and pull it out with the tractor" he shrugged his shoulders "Just when it was about to get interesting too"
"Do you need a hand" the young mechanic enquired
"Nah, stay here enjoy oogling the female model" Adam raised an eye brow at his mate
"Yeah, yeah very funny and don't worry about me I'll get the bus home"
"Aaron mate" Adam put a hand on Aaron's shoulder "I wasn't worried"
Adam stopped briefly to speak to Hazel before dashing out of the door
Hazel clapped her hands together to get the classes attention, "Sorry gang I'm going to be disappointing some of you but Kelly the life model for tonight has cold so she won't be modelling for us"
There was a sound of discontent from the male students
"But at very short notice and at great expense" Hazel continued the students quitened down to listen "We do have a male model"
The female students immediately started to pay extra attention
"So welcome to the stage our model for tonight, the gorgeous, the amazing, Jackson Walsh"
Aaron thought he'd heard wrong, Jackson was modelling, but looking at the stage, there walking on sure enough was the builder, wrapped in a dressing gown and he didn't even look nervous.
Some of the women wolf whistled and one shouted "Get um off" to which Jackson just smiled and pretended to start stripping
Aaron's palms had started to sweat at the thought of seeing Jackson naked, would he be able to control the stirrings of his body?, he wanted to see the builders body but didn't at the same time, he was also annoyed by the girls shouting, he didn't like them thinking of Jackson as just a piece of meat.
Hazel shushed the class before turning to her son she said something very quietly.
Jackson sat on a stool before letting the dressing gown slip from his shoulders to pool at his waist covering his genitals.
Aaron realised he was staring but seeing the builder like this he felt like a starving man who had been given a feast to eat and he just didn't know where to start it was only when Hazel asked him what medium he would be using that he shook himself, turning to look, he chose pencil.
"Good choice " Hazel agreed "Just don't be afraid draw what you see okay"
"Yeah" Aaron cleared his throat "Yeah I will"
Looking at Jackson sitting on stage seeming to be completely at home Aaron nervously started to draw, the first few lines faint until his confidence grew as he studied the builders toned body, He was absolutely gorgeous well proportioned with rock solid hard abdominal muscles obviously from long hours of physical work, he licked his lips and worked on the drawing totally absorbed in his task, when he was happy with how he had drawn Jackson torso he concentrated on his nipples, letting his mind wander from drawing them to day dreaming about touching them, he licked his very dry lips again and shifted on his chair to try to relieved the now tighteness in his jeans.
Hazel walked around checking the students progress, there were some really talented students, working with chalks, pastels and paints and then there was Aaron who had chosen to use artist pencils, standing behind the mechanic she had to stifle her gasp, the drawing he was doing of her son was stunning it showed his body fit and toned which was completely correct but what stunned Hazel was looking at her sons face on the picture Aaron was drawing it was clearly Jackson but there was so much emotion in the composition she could feel tears stinking her eyes, it was in that moment that she realised that Aaron was falling in love with her beautiful boy.
Aaron had lost all sense of time, his whole purpose now was to capture Jackson's essence into his picture he took quick looks between the living breathing Jackson and the Jackson starting to appear on the paper in front of him, He used shading to define Jackson's jaw speckled with hair and slight shadows under his eyes, for once he didn't struggle with what he was drawing he didn't question it, he just went where his fingers led.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, Aaron was still working as Hazel shouted that it was time to pack up, he kept checking until Hazel stepped up to him
"Aaron, time to go home" she looked again at the work Aaron had done "It's wonderful, perfect, it doesn't need anything else doing to it"
"D'you think?"
"Absolutely, can I show this to Jackson? to the class?"
"If you want"
Everyones work was looked at but the whole class agreed that Aaron's picture was outstandingly good, Aaron was concerned that people might guess what he was thinking and feeling whilst capturing Jackson but all the comments centred around Aaron's growing talent, by the end the mechanic was enjoying basking in the praise of the other students.
Once Jackson was dressed he climbed down from the stage and chatted to some of the students totally relaxed and not in the slightest bit uncomfortable that these people had seen him almost naked, Hazel too was chatting so Aaron made his way to the door intending to catch the next bus back to Emmerdale.
"Not so fast young man" Hazel voice carried easily to Aaron at the door "Jackson'll take you home won't you My sweetheart?"
"Yes Mum"
"You don't have to" Aaron's heart rate increased just thinking about spending some more time with the builer
"You looked after Mum for me so it the least I can do"
"Actually it was Adam" Aaron started
"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" Jackson smiled "C'mon" he led the way to his van parked in the car park.
Aaron had to squeeze up close to Jackson giving Hazel room to get in because Hazel had said to drop her off first and then onto Emmerdale, as she got out of the van she'd suggested that they should go for a drink in the village, there seemed to be some unspoken conversation going on between mother and son but Aaron was so excited he didn't question Hazels motive for suggesting it.
Pulling away Jackson looked quickly at Aaron who had reluctantly moved slightly away from the builder before saying
"Well I hope your local does a decent pint coz I could do with it after tonight, My Mam I love her to bits but she does land Me in some situations take tonight I only found I was modelling as I walked through the door she had to wait until then coz she knew I'd run if she told me any earlier" Jackson was shaking his head and smiling as he was talking "So where am I taking you again?"
"The Woolpack in Emmerdale"
Jackson couldn't see because he was driving and the cab of the van was dark but Aaron had the biggest smile on his face because he was getting to spend some time with the builder on his own. He felt like all his Christamses had come at once.
