bed of my truck outside Thorak cemetery waiting for my next client. U?
His phone beeped less than a minute later with another message.
You have any idea how weird what you just said sounds? LOL
Yeah but it's my life :)
I'm nowhere near as exciting as that. At home on the couch watching a re-run of Bones .
I know where I would much rather be right now. And it's not sitting outside a cemetery.
Jackson waited almost a full five minutes before another message finally came through. He was almost worried that Aiden wouldn't send another one. His last comment might have pushed things too far.
I can imagine. No one wants to be working this late at night after a full day. Don't work too hard. Night :)
Jackson sighed in relief when he realised he hadn't scared the other man away.
Don't worry I won't. TTYL?

Jackson shoved his phone in his pocket when Aiden's final message came through then lay back in the bed of his truck and stared at the stars. What he wouldn't give to be lying on a couch wrapped around Aiden at that very minute watching television. Hopefully it would happen in time, if he could somehow convince his mate to forgive him.
Chapter 7
A large bouquet of daffodils in a stunning hand-blown glass vase showed up at work for Aiden on Wednesday. When he looked at the card, it read:
I know I hurt you when we were kids and no matter what I do I can never change that fact. I have to live with the consequences of my actions every day. Please accept these flowers as a small gesture of how sorry I am for all the pain I caused you.
Forever yours, Jackson
Surprise flowed through Aiden, He and Jackson had spoken on the phone several times this week and usually messaged each other at night while Jackson was between clients at the cemetery, but the flowers were unexpected. He wasn't sure if he should feel happy about them or not.
The next day, handmade chocolates from his favourite shop in the mall arrived with another card detailing how sorry Jackson was for what he had put Aiden through in high school.
On Friday, a white box with a blue ribbon was gently placed on his desk. He opened it to find a dozen of the most delicious smelling and eye watering cupcakes he'd ever seen. They looked like individual flowers with the way the icing had been piped on top, and after tasting them, Aiden had been hard pressed to share them with his colleagues. Instead, he swiped himself another one and placed it on his desk for later and walked around the office handing out the others, making sure his bosses Noah and Harrison both received one.
Aiden called Jackson to thank the man as soon as he got back to his office with the empty box. He asked where Jackson had got his hands on the delicious creations and wanted to know if he could get more. Jackson laughed at him and assured him a friend had gone to the trouble of baking them for him. And anytime Aiden wanted one of the sweet treats, Jackson was more than happy to arrange it.
As much as Aiden liked the gifts, they weren't necessary. Aiden said as much to Jackson after he'd received the flowers. He didn't agree to talk to Jackson so the man could buy him things as a way to try and repay for the past. Jackson told him that he knew that already as Aiden wasn't that type of person and would never be. But he said it was something he had to do so Aiden should just get used to it.
He wasn't sure how he felt about that. Hell, he wasn't sure how he felt about Jackson either. The man was starting to get under his skin. His thoughts were forever going back to the man, no matter the time of day or night. His body ached with want after their phone calls most times. They hadn't yet seen each other since the meeting four days ago and Aiden was a little worried about how his body was going to react when he finally was around the other man.
Saturday afternoon finally came around, giving Aiden the first time in forever to relax. He was in his kitchen putting his weekly groceries away. As
