This is the new character I introduced at the end of the last chapter. The actor played a character in Coronation Street a couple of years back and he was in Downton Abbey.
Enjoy.
"Newbies?" Aaron said nothing, taking another sip.
"Yep." Robert replied bluntly, the guy smirked at Robert, knowingly.
"What made you come in here?" He winked. Robert looked at Aaron. The man followed his gaze, his grin only growing wider.
"Why don't you go back with your mates?" Robert suggested. "We're just stopping for a quick drink." He looked at the man, staring him down.
"Does your boyfriend speak?"
"I'm not..."
"He's not..." The man howled, startling the cleaners and drawing everyone's attention to their table. Although they were listening in before, everyone looked now. Aaron gripped his glass, swiping the final sip and standing.
"I'm goin'. You comin?" He stared down at Robert who was watching him. Robert nodded.
"Yeah...I just need to take a piss though." Aaron rolled his eyes, stalking out of the building. The conversation they'd come out to have, clearly wasn't going to happen.
"Long time no see ey?"
"Yeah, you're gonna have to remind me of your name." The man didn't seem surprised by that.
"Joe."
"Oh you look more like a Greg." Joe chuckled.
"At least I remembered your name, Robert. How long's it been? Couple of years?"
"Yeah, nice seeing ya." Robert was going to stand when Joe pulled him back to the seat with a tug on his arm.
"Got yourself a nice new toy to play with then?" Joe's voice lowered.
"What?...Aaron's not a toy." Robert clenched his teeth. Joe looked taken-aback.
"What is he then? You don't do romance Rob that's what you told me. Remember?" Robert wanted to punch the disgusting smile off the thugs face. "Ohh but wait...so this Aaron is special to you?" Robert said nothing, he had no idea how obvious the fond showed on his face. Robert believed he had a good poker face and he did most of the time. However if you spoke to him of Aaron he could never stop the affection displaying in his eyes, the creases either side of his lips became that little bit more obvious even if he tried to wear the hardest expression. Joe shook his head in disbelief. "That good 'is 'e?" He was talking about the sex wasn't he? He had no business burying his nose into that part of their history.
"What do you want? Money? Fine, here." Robert shifted his weight onto his right hip so he could access the left, back pocket of his jeans. He brought out his wallet.
