24, that's all Aaron could think, 24 little hours until he'd see Jackson again, 24 hours and then he be with the builder would be able to see those gorgeous brown eyes, hear his laughter, touch his lips, that last thought had the mechanic smiling. He was laid on his bed with his mobile beside him he kept flicking to Jackson's number, should he ring him? what excuse could he use?, perhaps he could just ring to make sure he got home safely, without over thinking it he simply pressed the dial button and waited...
Jackson had just got to the top of the stairs when his mobile started ringing, he could hear his Mam shouting "Get back down here and spill" He didn't, he just carried on into his room and shut the door before answering the ring having seen the display - Aaron calling
"Hey"
"Jackson?"
"Yeah"
There was silence, while he was waiting for Aaron to speak Jackson laid on his bed still with the phone firmly to his ear, still nothing
"Aaron, you still there?"
Jackson could hear breathing, could almost sense the conflict going on in Aaron's head
"Aaron, say something"
"I... I was just checking you got home okay" Aaron's voice sounded unsure
"Really?, that's very nice of you, yeah just got in when you rang"
Once again there was silence, Jackson waited, but after another few seconds he asked
"Why'd you really ring?"...
Aaron had been virtually struck dumb when Jackson answered his phone, for some reason he'd got it into his head that the builder would check the display, see it was him calling and would let it go to answerphone, so when he heard his voice he really didn't know why he'd rang. After a few seconds the mechanic had gathered enough of his thoughts together and asked if Jackson had got home alright, to which the builder had confirmed that yes he had and then there was more silence, Aaron laid there mentally kicking himself as the silence stretched on, finally Jackson asked
"Why did you really ring?"... "Look if you've changed your mind about Tomorrow night, it's okay"
Even as Jackson was saying the words he was silently praying that that wasn't the reason for this call
"No I haven't changed My mind" the younger man hastely reassured "If I tell you the real reason I rang do you promise not to laugh?"
"Aaron, why would I laugh?"
There was a sigh, another few seconds of silence
"I was missing you, I know that sounds daft, but I was and just wanted to hear your voice, corny I know"
"No Aaron, not corny, not corny at all, infact I'm glad you rang"
"Why?"
"Coz I get to hear your voice too"
Both young men relaxed and each laying on their beds spent the next few minutes just idley chatting about nothing important
"Well" Jackson eventually said "I better get My beauty sleep I've got a big date Tomorrow night and I want to look My best"
"Oh Yeah" Aaron replied it was obvious from his voice that he was smiling "Someone drop dead gorgeous I'm guessing!"
"You're not wrong there" Jackson agreed "He is gorgeous and he has the most amazing Blue eyes, he's fit and he is a phenominal kisser"
"Shut up, you're making Me blush" Aaron countered
"Wish I could see that"
"Well say all that again Tomorrow night and you probably will"
"You fishing for compliments?"
"No, So I'll see you Tomorrow?"
"For Sure"
"Okay, well I let you go"
"Yeah, Okay"
"Jackson?"
"Yeah"
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight Aaron"
Jackson looked at his phone, it had gone dead, Aaron had rang off "Sweet Dreams"
Aaron was laid on his bed with a huge grin on his face sure that when he did finally get to sleep his dreams would be invaded by the builder with the deep chocolate brown eyes.
Tomorrow night coudn't come soon enough for either of them
