Eastenders~Carter Boy

Chapter 7~Finishing Touches

When we got into the living room.My mum shouted into Johnny "Johnny, come here and try on your suit,I'll just go feed Ollie and then I'll bring him in"she said as she left the room.

Stacey hung Johnny's suit on the door and put Ollie's on the recliner near it.She then zipped down the silk cloth,to unveil my suit.

It was a white shirt with a dark blue tie,a dark grey jacket with black buttons at the end of the arms and dark grey trousers."Well do you like it"Stacey added."Yeah"I said surveying it "Yeah,I love it"I grinned

"I knew you would,now try it on" she said handing me the hanger."What here?"I asked."Yeah sure"Stacey said "James it's fine,I'm not going to watch you."Ok"I replied "give it here then" I said putting a hand out,suggesting she hand me it.

"Put the trousers on first"she said,handing me the pants.I pulled down my chinos,leaving me in my Calvin Klein boxers.I felt self conscious as I put them on.When I had them on Stacey came over with a measuring tape and some pins .She pulled the leg of the pants to check how much room I had in them."Yeah it seems fine"Stacey said "How do they feel."Ah fine I guess" I replied.

"Great now here's the shirt tie and jacket".I took off my top revealing my six pack that wasn't very defined.

"Wow" Stacey said "Sorry was that weird,it's just your muscles are quite something especially considering your age"."It's fine"I said buttoning my shirt.

I fumbled around with my tie for a bit."I'll do it" Stacey said as she managed to perfect my tie.Then I slipped on my jacket and looking in the mirror.

"I feel like Sherlock Holmes"I said catching and jerking my arms forward like in the movies."Well,I think you look great as well" Stacey said kindly.I smiled."Well everything seems to fit perfectly so you can take it off and I'll put it back on the hanger for tomorrow"Stacey said.

I slowly took off my pants and gave them to Stacey.I grabbed my chinos and quickly put them back on.Then I took my shirt,tie and jacket off.Now I was topless but I couldn't find my top.

Next thing Johnny walked in.I started to get embarrassed
"Hello Stace"Johnny said kissing her on the cheek."Put a shirt on Zac Efron".

"I can't find it" I replied.I felt my cheeks burning red."Wow,let's not panic it's just a shirt and it's behind you"Johnny pointed out.I turned around and there it was on the windowsill.

I picked it up and hurried out of the room brushing off Johnny as I left.I ran into my room.

Linda's POV
I had just finished feeding and changing Ollie I was heading into the living room when I saw James hurry into his room.

I went into the living room"Johnny,what did you say to him"."Nothing,he is just being moody". I rolled my eyes "That's all I need a wedding and a moody son"I stated.Stacey smiled.

"Now,little man here's yours"Stacey said handing me Ollie's suit."Thanks for all this Stace" I said."No problem,honestly "she replied.

"Listen,is James finished because I need him at the bar"I turned to see Mick at the door."Yeah,he is in his bedroom but Johnny said he is in a mood"I replied."Yeah well I'll go sort him out"Mick said walking away.

Mick's POV
I knocked on James' bedroom door but there was no reply.I walked in quietly and slowly.

He was looking in the mirror topless but he wasn't admiring himself as usual he was such standing there staring into space.His eyes were red and puffy,he must have been crying.

"You alright boy"I said in a soft,quiet tone.He slowly turned his head to face me."Yeah I'm fine" he said a bit startled as he quickly reached for his top and put it back on.

Once he had it on he looked
at me and said "Anything else or..".

"Yeah there is now stop getting cheeky and tell me what's wrong"There was a pause."You don't cry over nothing James."

"Yeah,you do dad so just leave it alright"He went to leave but I put my arm out,blocking the door.

"Listen" I started "Tomorrow your brother is getting married so don't ruin it for him over some silly mood alright". "Fine" he replied."Now get downstairs and help"I said sternly.

I watched as he hurried down the stairs.I strolled into the living room."Sorted"I said to Linda.

"Ah,thanks Mick,Stacey just left,all of the suits fit so everything for tomorrow is sorted"."well done baby" I told her winking.

"I'm going to help behind the bar,I have the baby monitor with me for Ollie"Linda asked.

The rest of the night was normal but James didn't say much.We locked up at around 10:30 which was early but we had a wedding tomorrow so it was understandable.We went to bed to get a good night sleep.Tomorrow was a big day.
