Life isn't a fashion statement.

Jack's POV

I was sat outside in the hammock, checking my emails and replying to ones which was important while waiting for Alex to wake up and wishing this hangover would just fuck off and not make me suffer any longer than what I have been doing.

I was in the middle of replying to a email when I looked up and saw Alex standing in the doorway with the duvet wrapped round him with a smile in his face.
"It's a bit hot out here for the duvet don't you think?" I said and Alex walked over and climbed in the hammock with the duvet.
"Don't want people seeing my dick, only you can see that." Alex said with a slight smirk on his face.
"Don't think anyone would care to be honest." I said and Alex just rolled his eyes at me.
"Thought we had a rule about the laptop while being here." Alex said as he got comfy.
"Well you was asleep and I have a bitch of a hangover so I thought I would come out here and look at the emails and reply to some." I said and sent this email.
Alex leant forward and push the screen of my laptop down and he leant on my chest and pecked me in the lips which made me smile.
"They can wait, it's my turn to have you all to myself." Alex said quietly.
"Baby, you'll always have me to yourself. We have all the time in the world." I said and Alex smiled and kissed me which I returned and he cuddled into my chest.
"So I was thinking, how about we go down to the beach and catch the sun a little." I said and I felt Alex hum in agreement on my chest.
"But there's one problem." Alex said and looked up at me.
"What might that be my love?" I asked and Alex smiled and blushed at the same time.
"So because I'm British and summer is like non existent in England. I burn like a fucking lobster, like a literal lobster." Alex said.
I couldnt help but chuckle.
"Well you'll be the sexiest lobster ever." I said and kissed him.
"Fine, but don't go moaning at me when I burn and you need to rub some shit on my back." Alex said.
"Why would I moan at something like that?" I asked and Alex just smiled and went back to cuddling into my chest.

We was lead on the beach both reading the same book catching the sun a little.
"So, I think your brother still hates me." Alex said as he put the book down and sat up and looked at me.
"Yeah well Rowan is a asshole like that. He still thinks I'll go running back to James." I said and sat up as well and looked at Alex who frowned at me.
"James was my bastard of an ex. Him and Rowan got on really well. But I don't care about if Rowan can get on with you. I want to be with you which is why I asked you to marry me." I said and Alex smiled and lent forward and kissed me which I returned.
Alex stood up and offered me his hand which I took and Alex helped me up.
"Fancy going for a swim, you joining me?" Alex asked.
"Bit of a dumb question." I said and Alex smiled and kissed me.
"Was hoping you said yes." Alex said and we went to the sea.


Since Alex never actually got to meet my parents when we went to America for Christmas I thought it would be nice for me and him to meet them and have dinner with them, for once Alex actually agreed with me which made me proud of him.
"Show me the ring." 'Ami said to Alex after we got our drinks and order what we wanted.
Alex put his hand out and 'Ami put her hand under Alex's and looked at it and she looked at me and smiled.
"You did well in this ring Jack." 'Ami said and I smiled and Alex retreated his hand under the table and caught hold of mine.
"Nothing but the best for him." I said and looked sat Alex who smiled at me.
"Have you planned anything yet?" 'Abi asked really interested in this for some reason.
"Not yet, I'm still trying to get my head round why he asked me." Alex said.
"Well it's going to be beautiful whatever you two plan." 'Ami said and I smiled.
"Thanks 'Ami." I said.
"Have you met Alex's parents and family yet Jack? Are we going to meet them before the wedding?" 'Ami asked clearly excited about this.
"Oh, I have nothing to do with my family, the disowned me when I was 16." Alex said and looked down.
"That's a shame, your such a nice man and I'm glad has you." 'Ami said.
"Well my family doesn't agree so I haven't got a family in a way." Alex said and I gave his hand a squeeze wihich made Alex look at me and smiled.
"Well your a part of this family now sonny. We're more than happy to welcome you to this family." 'Abi said which made Alex look at 'Ami and 'Abi and he smiled.
"Well Rowan has a different means of thinking but we're not talking about him at the moment." I said and had some wine, which was really nice.
"What's he been saying? The bloody boy can't be happy for anyone." 'Ami said.
"Another time okay, this is your time to get to know Alex and to let Alex know what he has got himself in for." I said and 'Abi chuckled.
"Of course." 'Ami said and the rest of the night was really fun and lots of good memories being said.
