A Scottish Tale (9)

We flew over the Scottish countryside at some speed. I tried to take everything in, I'd never been in a helicopter before and I wanted to take in all of the experience, that I possibly could. My eyes were fixated out of the helicopters window looking at the Scottish countryside below we flew over Loch Ness, and through the Scottish hills. Passing towns and villages below us we flew over a large forest, and I didn't stop looking out of the window. I was so focused I didn't hear my name being called.
"Jack." You said.
I continued to stare out of the window admiring the Scottish countryside and now another loch.
"Dopey." You said.
"Jack." Jen said.
Still no reply.
"Mr Jack." Jade said tapping me gently on the shoulder.
"Yes Jade." I reply.
"Took you low enough to reply dopey." You say.
"Sorry." I reply.
"We are here nearly we are coming into land and I think your phone went off whilst you were in a trance." You say.
"Oh ok thanks Zoe." I reply.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket, and you were right, I had missed a call, a call of Hannah.
In fact I had two missed calls off Hannah, when we got out off the helicopter. The speed dramatically slowed down so that we were now hovering and I noticed you and Jen use some of the controls ready for us to land on the restaurants helipad. I then felt the helicopter begin to descend and I felt a tingly feeling in my tummy. However the rest of you seemed perfectly fine I think it must be because you all were so used to being in helicopters whereas I wasn't. The descent happened quite quickly and pretty soon we were on the ground perfectly on the helipad. You and Jen removed your headsets as did the rest of us. Clare helped me undo my seatbelt as she didn't want me to struggle again.
"There you go Jack." She said as she was undoing it.
"Thanks Clare." I reply.
Everyone was now unclipped from the seatbelt and the helicopter doors were opened. All of us stepped out of the helicopter ready to make the short walk to the restaurant. We all were now out of the helicopter. After you and Jen making sure that it was secure we all began to walk to the restaurant. Well all of you did.
I decided to hang bang and return Hannah's call.
I pulled my phone from my pocket and clicked on the two missed calls and rung Hannah back.
The phone rang in my hand as I stood there waiting for her to pick up...
After what seemed like hours, in reality it was only a few seconds Hannah answered her phone.
"Is everything ok?" I ask.
"Yeah Jack why?" Hannah replied.
"It's just that you rung me I was worried." I reply.
"Aww bless I'm ok Jack I'm just out for lunch with Ellie, I rung you to thank you for transferring that money across, you do look after me don't you." Hannah says.
As Hannah says this I look over to you Zoe and I notice you making a heart symbol with your hands ❤️. Your laughing as you do this and then all of the others join you in your fun so now your all making love hearts all six of you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
"It's ok Hannah don't mention it, sweetie pie, say hello to Ellie for me princess." I reply.
"I will do Jack our food is here now I'll FaceTime you later, love you." Hannah says to me.
"Love you to" I reply.
You, Clare, Jade, Jen, Sara and Pippa continue to make the love hearts with your hands and laugh as I talk to Hannah on the phone.
"Speak later Jack Ellie says hello." Hannah says.
"Ok sweetie I'll FaceTime you later on I'll text you before though ok hello Ellie." I reply.
"Love you darling." Hannah says.
"Love you to." I reply.
And with that Hannah ends the call and I put the phone back in my pocket before walking over you lot. As I walk over I notice you Zoe laughing.
"Now what was that all about leaving all of us standing here waiting for you." You say.
"Leave him Zoe he was on the phone." Clare says.
"I know he was Clare he was on the phone to Hannah." You say smiling at me.
"I was Zoe I noticed you all making those love hearts." I reply.
"Yeah we were only teasing Jack, I know your a sensitive boy, we didn't mean to hurt your feelings." You say.
"I know you were only teasing me, I knew you wouldn't want to hurt my feelings." I say.
"Jack come with me sweetie pie, I need to speak to you quickly before we go inside." You say taking my hand leading me away from the rest of the group.
"Listen to me sweetie pie I want this thing with you and Hannah to last sweetie pie the last thing any of us want is for it to fall flat on its face and we will all do everything to make sure it is successful, but we don't want you doing anything dopey so today we will all help you improve your confidence and also remember that we are all always here for you sweetie pie." You say hugging me, there was sadness as well as happiness in your voice.
"You ok?" I ask.
"Yeah I'm fine Jack." You reply still with the sadness in your voice.
"Your not something is wrong." I reply.
"I'm happy for you and Hannah Jack but I don't want to loose you, don't forget about us will you." You say beginning to cry.
"Come here Zoe I'm not ever going to forget about you and everything you've done for me, you've helped me so much I'm forever indebted to you." I reply giving you a hug.
"As long as you won't forget about us ever Jack." You say.
"I won't Zoe I promise and you will always be my princess." I reply.
"No Jack Hannah is your princess I'll be the queen looking after you like always." You say smiling.
"I know you will Zoe now stop crying." I say pulling out a tissue and wiping your tears away.
"Aww thanks my darling prince now come on they are all waiting for us and we are all hungry." You reply.
You take me by the hand and lead me back to Clare, Jen, Jade, Sara and Pippa who are standing waiting for us.
"Everything ok?" Jen asks us.
"Yeah everything is ok." You reply.
"Zoe have you been crying?" Clare asks.
"No." You reply.
"It's ok if you have Zoe what's wrong?" Clare asks.
"I was worried about us loosing Jack since that he's in a relationship with Hannah." You reply.
"We won't loose him Zoe." Jen replied.
"That's exactly what I said." I reply.
"Come on then let's get some food, and help Jack, and Zoe remember he's here for a couple of weeks yet so we still have loads more time." Clare says giving her younger sister a hug.
"Yeah we do have loads more time." You say smiling.
"We will have to train him for Hannah won't we." Pippa says laughing.
"Yeah I suppose we will." You say laughing.
"Zoe can I speak to you for a minute?" Sara asks.
"Yeah of course babe." You reply.
You and Sara head away from the rest of us, there's something on Sara's mind and she needs to tell someone and who better to tell than her best friend.
"Zoe I really fancy Sean I can see us having a relationship together, I really can." Sara says.
"Wow Sara are you sure about this?" You ask.
"Yeah Zoe I enjoy his company he's so funny and he's a nice lad, he seemed so out of character yesterday." Sara replies.
"He was out of character yesterday sweetie, it's up to you however it will be a huge change for Sean, he will have to leave his job his home and his mates behind, you need to speak to him about it, I'll come with you later if you'd like." You reply.
"Zoe, do you have a thing for Jack?" Sara asks you.
"Sara I love spending time with Jack, he makes me laugh, he's ever so sweet and sensitive, in another lifetime I would have him all to myself. I'm so happy that he's in a relationship with Hannah I really am but I would love to have him myself if you want Sean Sara ask him sweetie pie, you and him really get on, plus if he's up for it me and Jack may end up spending some more time together." You say giving Sara a hug.
"Aww bless Zoe, I think jack likes being with you too. If Sean stays, I think Isobel is stating to become your beautician Jack will be heading home by himself, poor Jack." Sara says.
"Jack will be heading home to an amazing girlfriend though Sara and I'm super proud of him, my little prince has grown up so much. When we first started chatting with him he was so shy, and sensitive but he's grown up so much and although he's done some stupid things he's helped us as well not as much as we have helped him but we still all love him, Sara speak to Sean later, I think he will want to stay. I think Isobel wants to stay too, I just hope Jack doesn't forget about us because I want an invite to his wedding." You say laughing.
"Haha I'll want an invite too." Sara replies laughing.
"Who knows maybe Sean will tell Hannah about us all and then we can go on her hen party." You say.
"God we need to calm down they have only been together for a couple of months, we don't know what's going on completely yet do we Zoe?" Sara says.
"Very true, very very true Pippa if she does break his heart I'll have to take him in and look after him." You say smiling.
"Come on then darling they are waiting for us and they look hungry." Sara says.
"Yeah let's go and let's hope she doesn't break his heart eh." You say.
"She won't Zoe don't worry about it come on they are all waiting." Sara says.
You two walk back over to us all and Sara looks less worried now. We are now finally all together and we walk up to the hotel restaurant, The Allbannach Hotel restaurant. We walk to the door all dressed smartly. This is where you took the lead Zoe.
"We've hired out the restaurant for a couple of hours today I'm Zoe I booked last night." You say to the man when we walk inside.
"Ah yes come through, we have told everyone that we are closed for three hours will that be enough Zoe?" He asks.
"Yes thank you that will be perfect." You reply.
"Ok let us know if we can get you anything." He replies.
"We will thank you." You say taking control of the situation.
The man leaves us to it and we all sit down, and you explain why we are here.
"Now Jack sweetie pie we are going to help you improve your confidence today you've always told me how you struggle so we are going to help you today, we want this relationship with you and Hannah to last so we are going to teach you to look after her well." You say.
"Yeah Jack we want the best for you both and hopefully today will be a huge help to you." Clare says.
"Thank you all for doing this to help me, I'm sure Hannah would love you all." I reply.
"I hope so Jack you may have to introduce us one day." You say smiling.
"Maybe I will." I reply.
"Keep those stories and hammy quiet though Jack I don't think Hannah will be best pleased if she knew about those." Jen says.
"Yeah that's the best idea Mr Jack." Jade said.
"But please don't stop writing stories Jack we love reading them too much." You say.
"We really do Jack." Clare says.
"Come on then shall we order some drinks and get started?" Pippa says.
"Oh yes of course dear." You say to Pippa.
"What you drinking Jack sweetie pie?" Pippa asks me.
"Whatever you lot are having?" I reply.
"Ok Jack." Pippa replies.
"Me and Jen will have to have a soft drink can't be following a helicopter after a couple of glasses of wine can we?" You say.
"I suppose not, what do you want then Zoe, and what would you like Jen?" Pippa asks you both.
"Just get a bottle of water Pippa I'll be drinking later won't I Jack?" You say.
"I hope you haven't forgotten about tonight Jack." You say to me.
"I haven't forgotten Zoe." I reply.
"Ooohh what's going on tonight then?" Jen asks.
"That's a secret." You say.
"Jack what's going on?" Jen asks.
"I'm taking Zoe out for dinner, as a thank you for getting me those concert tickets." I reply.
"Ooohh get you Jack have you asked Zoe where she wants to go?" Jen asks me.
"I have Jen." I reply.
"Well where are you going, sweet pea?" Jen asks.
"I've asked if we can go to Gleneagles." You reply.
"Isn't that a bit out of Jack's price range because knowing you, you will want to stay overnight and will want breakfast and plus tips that's going to be like £5000." Jen replies.
"We will have to think of something won't we then Jack, because that's a lot of money sweetie." Clare says.
"Don't worry I have an idea." You say smiling.
"You can treat me like a princess all night Jack and if you fuck me good I'll pay for it all got it prince." You say to me.
"That sounds fair enough make sure you look after him Zoe and Jack treat her like a princess for me, and I'm really proud of you, out of you, Sean and Isobel your the only one not to get into trouble." Clare says.
"I've told you all along he's a good boy, the other two are bad influences, also if we want to keep it that way make sure he doesn't have to much to drink." You reply.
As you said drink the waiter from earlier walked across to us all.
"Can I get you anything to drink?" He asks.
"Yes please can we get a bottle of mineral water and two glasses and a glass of red wine and five glasses please." Pippa replies.
"Of course." The waiter replies.
And with that the waiter leaves us all to it once again.
"Yeah Jack take it easy on the wine darling, and I'm proud of you that you haven't got into trouble yet." Jen says.
"We all are Jack, how are you and Sean now?" Sara asks.
"We are ok it will take time for the relationship we had to get to where it was, but like Zoe said to me we need to keep going I did the same thing to Zoe and the trust between us all was broken and I was punished and needed to work on regaining that trust me and Sean will have to do the same, I was so close to leaving last night however I'm glad I didn't leave thank you for sorting it out all of you." I reply to Sara tears forming in my eyes, I don't think any of you knew how grateful I actually was.
"It's ok Jack don't get upset none of it was your fault." You say smiling.
"It's ok Jack it's all over now." Pippa says.
"I should have said no." I reply.
"Jack sweetie pie it's all over now let's have a good day eh and you will resurrect that friendship after all your not nineteen forever." Jen said.
That comment made me smile for a couple of reasons one was a very personal reason between us and the other one because it is a title of a Courteeners song, the band me and Sean were going to see with the tickets you had gotten us. Jen noticed my face change and me start to smile.
"I thought you'd like that Jack." Jen says laughing, she was definitely the music fanatic of the family.
You also began to laugh and at first I didn't understand why, after all it definitely wasn't for the musical reference.
"Yeah Jack your not nineteen forever however you somehow have managed to be nineteen twice haven't you?" You say laughing.
"Yeah I wonder how you managed that Jack?" Clare said.
"Yes he did Zoe I hadn't thought of that." Jen said.
"Oh I understand what you mean now." Pippa said laughing to.
"Oh yeah so do I, when Jack was a rather naughty Jack." Sara said.
"Leave Mr Jack alone he's learnt from his mistakes, and it's not very nice all of you ganging up on him. We are supposed to be helping him." Jade says defending me.
"I'm sorry Jack we didn't mean to hurt your feelings it was only a little joke." You say.
"It's ok all of you I knew that you didn't mean it and thanks Jade for the help." I reply.
"It's ok Mr Jack." Jade replies.
"Here are your drinks." The waiter says waking across to the table with the water, wine and the glasses.
"Thank you very much." You reply as the waiter places the glasses and the bottle of water and the bottle of wine on the table.
"Your welcome." The waiter replies.
With that the waiter departs, leaving us with our drinks.
"Jack could me and Jen see a picture of Hannah as we didn't get to see one when we were in the helicopter?" You say.
"Of course you can." I reply unlocking my phone.
I scroll to my photos and then hand my phone to you.
"Aww bless you Jack she's ever so beautiful I'm so proud of you." You say before giving me a kiss on the lips.
"Here you go have a look." You say to Jen before handing her my phone.
"Jack she's ever so pretty, we always knew you'd find a pretty girl." Jen says to me.
"Thank you Jen and thanks Zoe." I reply.
"It's ok sweetie I'm so proud of you." You say, you really were so proud of me.
"Jack would you like a drink?" Pippa asks me.
"Yes please if you don't mind." I reply.
"No of course not Jack don't drink it all at once." Pippa replies.
"I won't don't worry." I reply.
"Now Pip what shall we teach Jack first?" You ask.
"Well he will need to learn how to make good conversation won't he Pippa." You reply.
"Yes he will Zoe and I have just the idea for that." Pippa replies.
"What's your idea Jade?" Clare asks.
"We get a table for two, Jack has ten minutes with each of us and he has to make a conversation, and a good conversation at the end of it we all rate him out of ten." Pippa replies.
"Ooohh I like it, but won't Zoe have an advantage they chat all of the time." Clare replies.
"Well we aren't the ones making conversation Jack is and I won't give him any help at all, I'll be cruel with him." You say smiling with that wicked smile of yours.
"Cruel with him, how do you mean?" Jen asks.
"Well he will have to wait and see won't he." You say.
"I suppose he will Zoe don't be to cruel though remember he's taking you to dinner tonight." Jen replies.
"Yeah Zoe remember that, if your to cruel he might be taking one of us to dinner instead." Sara says teasing you.
"I won't be to cruel I'll push him though let's say I won't make it easy for him and I have an idea before the conversations why don't we do some ice breakers, some would you rather questions and maybe snog marry avoid." You say.
"God I forgot we were twelve!" Clare says laughing.
"I think it's a good idea but it's up to Jack." You say.
"I'm ok with it." I reply shyly."
"Ok Jack I've got one for you darling, me Zoe, Hannah snog marry avoid?" Clare asks.
"That's a harsh one Clare." Pippa replies.
"I know it is but I'm curious." Clare replies.
"Marry Hannah, snog Zoe and avoid Clare, sorry Clare." I reply.
"I'm glad you said marry Hannah Jack and I'm glad you would kiss me." You reply.
"I can't believe you would avoid me!" Clare exclaimed.
"I expected that he would avoid you Clare." Jen replied.
"Sorry Clare." I say apologetically.
"I forgive you Jack I can understand why you said me sweetie, and it's only a game." Clare replies.
"Zoe I've got one for you." Sara says.
"Snog marry avoid George, Jack, Sean." Sara says.
"Wow that's to tough." You reply.
"Come on Zoe Jack answered his you have to answer yours." Jen replies.
"Ok then, snog George, marry Jack and avoid Sean." You reply.
"Wow I was expecting you to marry George." Clare says.
"I had to let Jen have George and I did contemplate marrying Sean." You reply.
"Thanks Zoe." I reply.
"Aww it's ok Jack." You reply.
"Zoe how about Mr Jack, Mr Jon, and Mr Dave. You have to choose." Jade says.
"No that's not fair Jade." You reply.
"Come on Zoe." Jen says laughing.
"Yeah go on Zoe it's only a game." Clare says, also laughing.
"Ok then snog Dave, marry Jon and avoid Jack, I'm sorry sweetie." You say to me.
"It's ok Zoe, it's only a game." I reply.
"Ok then Jack your turn to set one it can be boys or girls it's up to you." Sara says.
"Ok then, it's for you Sara, snog marry avoid, am I ok to do boys and girls?" I ask Sara.
"Yeah of course Jack." Sara replies.
"Ok then Zoe, Pippa and Sean snog marry avoid." I reply.
"Jack! That's a difficult one isn't it that's quite harsh." You say.
"Don't worry Jack it's only a game." Sara says.
After having a quick think for about thirty seconds Sara had made her decision, we could tell by the look on her face that she was ready to tell us her decision.
"Snog Clare, marry Sean and avoid you Zoe." Sara said laughing.
"WOW! Sara after everything I've done for you." You say annoyed.
"It's only a game princess." I say to you.
"I know Jack I was only joking dopey." You reply.
As you say this Jen nudges you, almost as if you'd forgotten something. After she nudges you she begins to whisper something in your ear.
"Shall we give Jack another one of his presents now, and then you maybe can give him one later?" Jen whispers to you.
"Yeah that sounds good Jen, I'm up for giving him one he deserves it after all of those stories and after what he went through yesterday." You whisper back.
"Jack sweetie pie we have another present for you." Jen says smiling at me.
"Thank you so much all of you, you really didn't have to do this." I reply.
"Yes we did sweetie pie you've been there for us when we've needed you, you've made us laugh, smile and cry sometimes, we look forward to when you chat with us and we thought that you deserved a present." Jen said.
"Thank you all so much." I reply.
You pull out the present from your handbag. It was an envelope, I instantly thought it would be some more concert tickets how wrong I was.
I opened the envelope and inside was something rather unexpected it was a job offer.
"Jack sweetie pie we offered Isobel a job and we thought we would offer you one as well, however it's in Monaco so speak with Hannah first, Sean has also been offered one we left an envelope in his room this morning have a think about it sweetie." You say.
"You need to speak with Hannah before making a decision Jack ok." Jen says.
Also in the envelope are two plane tickets to Monaco the tickets are open ended so it means I can fly over to Monaco with Hannah at anytime.
"I will speak with Hannah later on today to see if she would be willing to come to Monaco." I reply.
"She will also be given a job Jack sweetie I promise you that." You say smiling.
"Jack sweetie would you like to speak to Hannah now we will let you go outside and speak with her and then we can continue with what we were doing." Pippa says.
"Yeah go on sweetie go and speak with Hannah." Clare says.
"Ok I'll speak to her now." I reply.
And with that I stand up from the table and head outside, taking my phone from my pocket and scrolling down my contacts list where I find the contact I'm looking for. Hannah. I click on it and click on the green phone in order to ring her. The phone dials for about forty five seconds and then I hear a familiar voice on the other side.
"Hello Jack is everything ok?" Hannah asks.
"Yeah Hannah everything is fine I need to ask you something." I reply.
"Aww ok sweetie what is it?" Hannah asks.
"Hannah I've been offered a job by the family we are staying with." I reply.
"Aww Jack that's amazing it's definitely going to better than working in that shop." Hannah replies.
"Hannah this is why I'm asking you if I was to take this job it would require for us to to move to Monaco we could come back to the UK regularly, would you be ok with that ?I ask Hannah.
"Hannah you'll be given a job too." I say.
"I'll think about it later Jack ok sweetie pie me and Ellie are still having lunch." Hannah says.
"Ok I'll ring you back later love you." I reply.
"Aww love you to." Hannah says.

Meanwhile about 450 miles away.
"What was that all about?" Ellie asks her friend Hannah.
"Jack has been offered a job in Monaco by the family he's staying with in Scotland I suppose they have a couple of houses." Hannah replies.
"Do you think he will take it?" Ellie asks.
"I'm not sure whether we should go." Hannah replies.
"Hannah this is a once in a lifetime opportunity seize the moment sweetie pie you can come back and visit sweetie we are all here for you every step of the way." Ellie replies.
"I've been offered a job too." Hannah replies.
"Hannah sweetie ring him back and tell him." Ellie says.
"Ok Ellie it looks like me and Jack are going to Monaco." Hannah replies.

Back in Scotland....
I walk back inside and meet all of you at the table.
"Well what did she say?" You ask me.
"She will think about it and ring me back later." I reply as I say this my phone rings.
"Go and answer it outside Jack." Jen says.
I walk towards the doors and the waiter walks towards you.
"He's like a yo yo he can't make his mind up in or out." He says which causes you to laugh.

I walk outside and answer my phone.
"Jack! I've made a decision." Hannah says.
"What is it?" I ask.
"We're going to Monaco darling, me and Ellie decided it's a once in a lifetime opportunity so let's seize it." Hannah replies.
"Wow ok then you sure sweetie?" I ask.
"Yeah I'm positive." Hannah says.
"Wow ok I'll break the good news to them." I reply.
"Yeah you do that sweetie pie me and Ellie are going out for a drink later to celebrate." Hannah replies laughing.
"Too right." I hear Ellie saying in the background.
"See you soon Hannah." I reply.
"Bye sweetie love you." Hannah says.
"Love you too." I reply.

Once the phone call was over I made my back into the restaurant amongst laughs from you and the waiter, I didn't know what it was all about and so I sat down next to you as of nothing had happened.
"Well what did she say?" You ask.
"Well... She said." I reply hesitating
"Spit it out Jack come on we're eager." You say.
"We are both coming to Monaco the opportunity was to good to turn down." I reply.
"Oh my god wow Jack you'll be spending loads of time with us all we will have to introduce Hannah to our lifestyle won't we my sweet prince?" You ask me.
"Yeah I suppose you will." I reply.
"Oh we definitely will have to Jack, I hope she doesn't mind." Clare says.
"Oh don't worry Claire I'll convert her X." You say smiling.
"Is everyone ready to order?" Pippa asks us.
"Yeah we all are Jack needs to have a look he was outside when we were deciding what to have to eat." Sara says.
I pick up the menu from the table and begin to look at the food on offer. Eventually after some contemplating deciding on sea bass caught from Lochinver near to the hotel. A few of you had chosen the sea bass, with others choosing Lobster, and a couple of you choosing roasted dear. Me, Jen and Pippa chose the sea bass. With you and Jen having the lobster and Jade and Sara choosing the roasted deer.
"We are so glad your coming to Monaco Jack, it won't be straight away though probably the beginning of next year." You say to me.
"Ok Zoe I hope everything is ok with me and Hannah until then." I reply.
"I'm sure it will be." Jen says smiling.
"Mr Jack I can't wait to meet Hannah." Jade says.
"We are all looking forward to meeting her sweetie." Clare says.
The food arrives at the table and we continue to make conversation.
"Jack have you enjoyed Scotland so far then babe?" Sara asks me,
"Yeah it's been a really fun holiday apart from what happened yesterday however I'm glad it's been resolved." I reply.
"How's your sea bass sweetie?" You ask me.
"Yeah it's really nice." I reply.
"Awh I'm glad you like it." You say.
"I'm not used to such fine dining." I reply.
"Well now your coming to Monaco you'll have to get used to it." Jen says.
"Me and Pip aren't used to it either Jack." Sara says.
"I think you'll find that Mr Jack had a job in a international food restaurant." Jade says.
"Really?" Pippa questions.
"No he didn't Pippa he had a job in McDonald's when he was s*******n." You reply laughing.
I then turn all red when you say this becoming embarrassed.
"Don't be embarrassed Jack a job is a job, and you were still at school and earning money, that's nothing to be ashamed of." Clare says.
"Yeah but it's not fine dining is it." I reply.
"I can't argue with you there Jack." Clare replies.
We all finished our lunch at virtually the same time and we before we begun with the activities you and the girls had thought of we decided to play a game of would you rather. It was Sara's idea and we all thought it would be fun.
"Jack would you rather have sex with Zoe once more, and never see her again or lick her pussy everyday and live with us in Monaco?" Sara asks.
I took some time to contemplate on my decision. And eventually I had chosen.
"Lick her pussy everyday and live with you in Monaco." I reply.
"I have one for Jack." You say.
"Jack has already had one." Jen says.
"It's ok I'll answer another one." I reply shyly.
"Ok then Zoe ask away." Jen says.
"Would you rather never go to a concert again or never go on hammy again?" Zoe asked me.
"Zoe that's a harsh one." Jade said.
"I know that's why I asked it." You reply.
I take about thirty seconds to contemplate my decision however I knew it wouldn't take much thinking.
"Never go on hammy again." I replied.
"WHAT!" Clare says shocked.
"I expected him to say that." Jen said.
"Me too." You reply.
"Now let Jack ask one of us a question." Pippa said.
"Zoe would you rather have amazing sex that lasts a minute or average sex that lasts twenty minutes?" I ask.
"Easy good sex that lasts a minute, quality over quantity." You reply.
"Clare would you rather never see Jon again or never see Zoe again?" Jen asks laughing.
"And you said my question was harsh." You say laughing.
"I can't answer that." Clare says.
"It's only a game." Pippa says comforting Clare.
"Ok I'd never see Zoe again but Jack would have to promise to look after her." Clare says smiling at me.
"Come on then let's teach Jack a thing or two." Jen says.
"You ready sweetie?" You ask me.
"I'm ready." I reply quietly wondering what will happen next.
"Ok then Jack your going to have to make conversation with all of us for ten minutes and we will rate you out of ten." Pippa says.
"Ok." I reply nervously.
"Jack and Sara will be first." Pippa says.
The rest of you decide to sit outside after all the weather is rather nice, and the views of the loch are beautiful. Meanwhile me and Sara sit at a table for two.
"Now Jack before we start Pippa has told me that we are to conduct this like we have never met before is that ok?" Sara asks me.
"That's fine." I reply nervously.
"Let's start then sweetie." Sara says to me.
Sara sets a timer on her phone for exactly ten minutes and clicks start. Sara smiles at me that's an indication to start.
"Hello I'm Jack, I guess you must be Sara." I say.
"Hello Jack it's very nice to meet you." Sara replies.
"It's very nice to meet you to." I reply.
"Have you been up to much?" I ask.
"I've been really busy with work and I'm in Scotland for a couple of weeks, how about yourself?" Sara asked me.
"I've been really busy with work myself and I was invited up to Scotland by some friends to spend a couple of weeks with them." I said and as soon as I said it I regretted it.
"Aww that's nice, what are you thinking of Scotland then have you been before?" Sara asked.
"Yeah I really like Scotland the scenery is lovely and no this is my first time in Scotland but I definitely don't think it will be my last." I reply.
"I really like Scotland and it's even better when we get nice weather, maybe you've brought it with you Jack." Sara says to me smiling.
"Maybe I have, it is really nice today." I reply.
"It is Jack." Sara says smiling.
"Can I get you something to drink Sara?" I ask.
"Yes please Jack a glass of water is fine." Sara says.
As I go to stand up to order the drink I hear Saras voice again.
"Times up sweetie." Sara says.
"Is it?" I reply.
"Yeah ten minutes is over, were you ok your hands were shaking all the way through that?" Sara asks me.
"I was a little nervous." I reply.
"Aww bless come here Jack I can't tell you how I think you did but I can give you a cuddle." Sara says.
I walk towards Sara and she wraps her arms around me giving me a cuddle.
"I'll send the next person in darling ok." Sara says.
"Yeah it's ok." I reply.
Sara blew me a kiss and went outside ready to send in the next person.

Outside....
"Who's next for Jack then?" Sara asked.
"I'll go." Jen said.
"Ok." Sara said.
Jen stood up from her seat and made her way to the restaurant door.
"How was he Sara?" You asked.
"Bless him he was really nervous but he did ok he didn't hesitate and he managed to keep the conversation flowing." Sara replies.
"Oh bless." You say.

Meanwhile...
I'm sat back in the table for two where me and Sara had, had our conversation. Waiting for the next person to walk through the door. Jen walked through the door and sat opposite me, I presumed it would be the same concept as Sara and I presumed correctly. Jen took her phone from her pocket and set a timer for ten minutes and smiled at me before pressing start.
"Hello Jen I'm Jack, nice to meet you." I say.
"Well it's very nice to meet you Jack." Jen replies.
"The pleasure is all mine Jen would you like a drink?" I ask.
"I'm ok thank you Jack." Jen replied with her beautiful smile.
"You been up to anything interesting?" I ask Jen.
"Just on a relaxing holiday in Scotland I've been really busy with work, how about yourself?" Jen asked.
"I've been really busy at work myself, today is my day off actually."I reply.
"Oh really what sector do you work in Jack?" Jen asked me.
"I work in retail at the minute but I would like to go to university, if you don't mind me asking Jen what industry do you work in?" I ask Jen.
"I work in the car industry Jack and what do you hope to study at university?" Jen asks me.
"I'd like to study web design, and perhaps start my own business in the future." I reply.
"Aww a boy with big aspirations." Jen says.
"I need to work hard to get there." I reply.
"That you do." Jen said.
Jen then spoke again.
"Times up honey." Jen says.
"Wow that went really quickly." I reply.
"I'll send the next person in sweetie." Jen said.
"Ok." I reply.

Jen headed off outside to meet with the others and I continued to stay seated where I was.
"How was he Jen?" You ask.
"He was really good actually, really confident talked for the whole time answered my questions asked me questions." Jen said.
"I'll have to throw some curve balls." You say laughing.
"I'll go next." Pippa says.
"Go for it babe." Jen says smiling.

Pippa stood up from her seat and headed inside the restaurant where she was met by me sitting down at the two person table, looking at a little nervous.
Pippa sat down opposite me and like the other two before her took out her phone and laid it on the table before setting the timer to ten minutes. She smiled at me and clicked start.
"Hello Pippa I'm Jack, nice to meet you." I say to Pippa.
"Hello Jack lovely to meet you, please my friends call me Pip." Pippa replied.
"Ok would you like anything to drink Pippa?" I ask.
"I'm ok thank you Jack, I don't mind you calling me Pip it's ok honestly." Pippa replied.
"I'm sorry Pip." I reply.
"Aww bless you don't need to say sorry, Jack tell me some more about yourself I'm interested to learn some more." Pippa said smiling at me.
Her smile put me at ease and I began to tell her some more about myself.
"Well my name is Jack but you knew that already I'm nineteen years old, I work in retail and I live at home with my mum, dad and little sister." I reply.
"Aww bless how old is your little sister?" Pippa asked.
"She's s*******n." I reply.
Whereas with Jen I was telling her information that she already knew with Pippa I was telling her new information that she didn't already know.
"What are your interests Jack, I'd like to learn some more about you." Pippa replies.
"Well I'm really into going to concerts and listening to music, I enjoy socialising with friends and generally just having a good time." I reply.
"You sound like someone I'd like to get to know more." Pippa said.
"I'd love to get to know you more Pippa." I reply.
"Times up Jack." Pippa said.
"Thanks Pippa."I reply.
"It's ok I'll send the next person in.

Pippa left me sitting in the chair where I'd been sat for the previous three conversations.
Pippa walked over to the rest of you who were still sat outside.
"How did he do?" Clare asked this time.
"Really well Clare, he made really good conversation." Pippa replied.
"Ok Pippa I'll go next." Clare replied.
"Go for it babe." Pippa replied.

Clare stood up from her seat and walked into the posh restaurant and like her friends before her she was met by me sitting at the two person table. Clare unlike the others walked in phone in hand, she was prepared. As she sat down she prepared the timer and smiled at me before clicking start.
"Hello Clare I'm Jack it's lovely to meet you finally." I say.
"It's lovely to meet you to Jack." Clare replies.
"The pleasure is all mine Clare can I get you anything to drink.
"I'm ok thanks Jack." Clare replied.
"Have you been up to much then Jack?" Clare asked me, beating me to my own question.
"I've been busy with work however I have a couple of days." I reply.
"Anything planned for your days off?" Clare asks me.
"Probably see friends and family, I would like to spend some more time with you if that's possible." I reply.
"I would like that, your a very nice boy." Clare replies.
"Thanks Clare if you don't mind me saying you look very beautiful today."
"Aww thanks Jack your a very handsome boy yourself, you've really made an effort today." Clare says smiling.
"Thanks Clare." I say shyly.
"Don't be shy Jack I really mean it I'd love to spend some more time with you, and Jack times up sweetie." Clare says.
"Thanks Clare." I reply.
"Your welcome and well done." Clare replied.
Clare walked outside the restaurant and towards where you were sitting.
"He's good girls very good actually." Clare says to you all.
"Can I go next?" Jade asks.
"Of course Jade." Clare replies.
"I take it I'm going last then." You say.
"Yeah you are." Clare says.
Jade stands up from her chair and heads to me inside. Like her friends before her Jade sees me sitting at the two person table and sits opposite me she doesn't speak only sets her phone up making sure the timer is set to ten minutes. Before clicking start and smiling at me.
"Hello Jade I'm Jack it's lovely to meet you." I say.
"Hello Jack it's lovely to meet you to." Jade said.
I was quite shocked that Jade didn't call me Mr Jack.
"The pleasure is all mine Jade can I get you something to drink?" I ask Jade.
"I'm ok thanks Jack but you can tell me some about yourself I'd love to learn some more about you.
"Ok then Jade, well my name is Jack but you knew that already, I still live at home with my mum dad and little sister, I work in a clothes shop. My interests are going out with friends socialising and going to concerts." I reply.
"Aww bless Jack you sound like a really nice boy, I would love to get to know you some more." Jade said.
"Perhaps we can meet up again." I reply.
"Oh that's definitely going to be happening Jack." Jade replies.
"I look forward to then." I reply.
"Times up Jack." Jade said.
"Thanks Jade." I reply.
"Your welcome Jack." Jade said as she stood up and left the room.

I knew there was only one person left and it was the person I was most nervous about, it was you Zoe.

Meanwhile...
Jade had left the restaurant and went back to speak to you all.
"I know what you mean girls he's done really well considering he didn't think he was very confident." Jade said.
"I'll be the judge of that." You say smiling.
You then stand up and make your way to the restaurant door and inside the restaurant where I am still sat. Your iPhone is in your hand and you set the timer for ten minutes before sitting opposite me and click start.
"Hello Zoe I'm Jack it's a pleasure to finally meet you." I say.
"It's a pleasure to meet you to." You reply.
"The pleasure is all mine Zoe can I get you anything to drink?" I ask.
"I'm ok thank you Jack." You reply.
"Jack can you tell me more about yourself I would really like to get to know you." You say to me."
"Well Zoe, well my name is Jack but you knew that already, I still live at home with my mum dad and little sister, I work in a clothes shop. My interests are going out with friends socialising and going to concerts." I reply.
"That sounds very similar to another Jack I know he's a very dopey boy sometimes, you and him look very similar actually, both tall and slim." You say smiling.
"Oh really." I managed to reply.
"Yeah he's done some stupid things in his time." You say still smiling.
"I've never met this Jack you on about unless your on about me." I reply.
"No your not the same people." You reply laughing.
"Times up Jack, well done for dealing with that. Now sweetie do me a favour get yourself a drink and stay here whilst me and the girls decide our scores." You say before giving me a gentle kiss on the forehead.

I head up to the bar and order myself a glass of water and I felt the sweat on my forehead. Once my drink arrives at my table I sit and relax however I'm still thinking about my scores, I keep thinking to myself I will have got really low scores.
About ten minutes later I hear a familiar sound.
"Sweetie pie we are ready for you." You say.
I stand up from my seat and head outside the fresh air hits my face straight away. I am met by you all and I feel like I've just walked into the lions den.
"Sara you first." Pippa says.
"Jack I'm giving you seven out of ten you were really good babe some questions needed a little more detail and you could have asked if I wanted a drink earlier." Sara says smiling at me.
"Jen next." Pippa says.
"Jack I'm giving you eight out of ten you answered everything perfectly and asked me questions if you had longer to chat it would have been a nine or ten sweetie." Jen says.
"Jack well done that was brilliant eight and a half out of ten, you made excellent conversation." Pippa said
"Clare next."
"Jack nine out of ten inviting me on another date was very clever and your conversation was amazing and you spoke with confidence." Clare said.
"Jade." Pippa said.
"Mr Jack that was very good I enjoyed our chat I will give you eight out of ten.
"Zoe." Pippa said.
"Four out of ten, I'm joking! Sweetie that was ten out of ten I went in to trip you up and you didn't you made fun conversation and kept your cool. Well done." You say before kissing me on the lips.

"Come on then let's go home, after all Jack owes Zoe dinner." Pippa said.
I remembered that I also needed to get you some flowers, however I wasn't sure what flowers you liked.
Before we headed to the helicopter I decided to ask the person who knew Zoe the best out of us all, Clare.
"Clare I'm taking Zoe out to dinner last night and I also need to buy her some nice flowers but I'm not sure what flowers she likes." I say to Clare.
"Aww bless sweetie, I'd get her some nice roses if I was you or maybe even some white lilies." Clare replies.
"Thanks Clare I'll get some when we go out I'll nip into the nearest town." I reply.
"Aww ok Jack do you want one of us to come with you?" Clare asks.
"I think I'll be ok." I reply.
We were behind all of you and it seemed that you were waiting for us.
"Come on dopey hurry up." You said to me laughing.
"Jack I think you should forget dinner with Zoe tonight if she's gonna treat you like that." Pippa said laughing.
"Yeah Jack I agree with Pip." Clare says to me.
"Fine be like that Jack I'll take Izzy out instead." You say sticking your tongue out at me.
"Zoe! Be nice." Jen says to you.
We all get on the helicopter. You and Jen getting into the pilot and co pilots seats, with the rest of us getting into the back of the helicopter. Unlike the journey here I managed to fasten the helicopter seatbelt which somehow managed to confuse me on the way to the restaurant. After a series of final checks Jen was ready to put the helicopter up in the air and having played with a number of controls we did just that. We ascended into the air, bound for your Loch Ness castle.
"Jack well done earlier you did really well." Pippa said gently rubbing my hand.
"Thanks for all of your help Pippa." I replied.
"Aww bless you Jack it's ok we were all happy to help." Pippa says to me wrapping her arm around me.
Everyone continued to make conversation as we flew over the Scottish countryside and that's when I noticed Sara, she looked worried about something.
"Sara are you ok?" I ask her.
"Yes I'm fine Jack thanks for your concern." She replied.
I could tell by the tone in her voice that Sara wasn't ok and that something was on her mind however I didn't know what exactly was on her mind. As I was speaking to Sara I noticed you turn around and I think you knew exactly what was on Sara's mind. You smiled at your friend and she smiled back. I guessed you and her would be having a little chat later on. The helicopter sped across the Scottish sky and I gazed out of the window, mesmerised by absolutely everything I saw. You turned around and smiled at me, not wanting to disturb me. I completely switched off I forgot about everything at that moment I was completely focuses solely on what was out of the window, I was so focused I didn't even realised that we were coming into land. Jen played with a few of the helicopter controls and directed us into land and pretty soon we were on the ground but I was still in a trance like state.
"Dopey!" You say giving me a playful slap.
"Yeah." I reply with shock in my voice.
"Come on." You say laughing at me.
I unclip my seatbelt and followed you all inside. We walked up the castle driveway and headed back inside the castle and were met by Jill.
"Hello all of you, did you have fun?" Jill asked us.
"Yeah we did mum and I think jack has learnt some things as well." Jen said
"Aww well I'm very glad to hear that." Jill says.
"Yeah I think he enjoyed himself." Sara said.
"Aww good." Jill says.
"Jack, Zoe is it ok if I speak to you for a minute?" Jill asks.
"Yeah of course mum." You say.
"Ok." I say worried about what will happen next.
"Aww bless Jack it's ok your not in trouble." Jill replies.
"What is it mum?" You ask.
"I just wanted to check on Jack and see if he's ok and I need to speak to you Zo." Jill says.
"Oh ok mum." You reply.
"Well Jack sweetie how are you feeling?" Jill asks me.
"A lot better than I was thanks Jill." I reply
"Aww well that's good Jack, you know where we are if you need anything." Jill says.
"Mum Jack has something to tell you." You say.
"Well I have two things to tell you Jill." I say.
"Aww what are they Jack?" She asks.
"The first one is that I've decided to accept the job offer that you've offered me thank you so much and the second one is that I have a girlfriend." I say.
"Oh my goodness Jack I'm so proud of you." Jill says wrapping her arms around me.
"Thanks Jill." I reply.
"Aww Jack we always told you that you'd find someone special didn't we." Jill says hugging me.
"I've been saying this for ages mum and he's always doubted himself bless him." You say.
Me and Jill continue to hug for a few more seconds and then we pull away.
"Oh my goodness Jack am I ok to tell Dave and Jon?" Jill asks me.
"Of course you are." I reply.
"Mmm Jack you ready for later?" You ask me.
"I need to do a couple of things first." I reply.
"Ok sweetie pie, get ready for 8 o clock then sweetie." You say smiling.
You head back into the castle and I walk across the drive to the boathouse to get my wallet, as I walk in I realise it's not on the bed side table and that I left it in my coat pocket and I had given my coat to Jade when we were playing hide n seek yesterday and I hadn't got it back yet. I walk down the stairs of the boathouse and back into the castle, I decide to head for the modern living room to try and find Jade. I pull down on the door handle and open the door.
"Hello Jack you ok darling?" Jen asks as I walk into the room.
I'm met by Jen, Clare, Jon, Dave, Jill and Isobel.
"Yeah I'm ok thanks Jen do you know where Jade is?" I ask.
"She should be in her room darling." Jen replies.
"Thanks Jen." I reply.
"What is it you want Jade for Jack?" Jon asks.
"I need my wallet and I left it in my coat pocket and I gave Jade my coat yesterday when we were playing hide and seek." I reply.
"Oh ok." Jon says smiling.
I smile back at everyone and leave the living room heading upstairs to search for Jade. I walk across the landing, the same landing I had walked across previously, the same landing where I had heard my best friend call my sister a slut. Those memories came back as I walked towards Jade's room. I decided that it would be polite if I knocked on the door after all I didn't want to interrupt anything that might be going on.
I knock twice and hear a familiar sound, that sound being Jade's voice.
"Come in." She said.
I pull down on the door handle and open the door.
"Ah Mr Jack what can I do for you?" Jade asks.
"Sorry to bother Jade but could I have my coat back?" I ask.
"Oh sorry Mr Jack I completely forgot to give it back its so nice and really warm." Jade says smiling.
"Jade you can keep it if you'd like I just need to grab my wallet out of it." I reply.
"Really Mr Jack?" Jade asks.
"Yeah of course you can." I reply as I grab my wallet.
"Thank you ever so much Mr Jack." Jade replies.
"Your welcome." I reply.
I leave the room wallet in hand and meet you on the landing.
"Ah hello sweetie you ok?" You ask me
"Yeah I'm fine thanks Zoe how are you?" I reply.
"Just perfect sweetie, I'm looking forward to later seeing you all dressed up smart." You say smiling.
"Aww I'm looking forward to it too." I reply
You head into Jade's room and speak to her meanwhile I head downstairs and outside into the boathouse and grab my car keys from my bedside table ready to head into the nearest town. It's about a ten minute drive and I admire the scenery as I drive down the winding roads. If only I had a sports car to make the most of the scenery oh well my little Corsa will have to do. I find a place to park and decide to ask someone to point me in the right direction. I walk towards a woman in her thirties and ask her for directions.
"Excuse me." I say.
"How can I help?" She says smiling at me.
"I don't suppose you can point me in the direction of a florist?" I ask.
"Oh yes of course I can darling there's one a bit further down on the right." She replies.
"Thank you ever so much." I say.
"Your welcome your not from around here are you?" She asks.
"No I'm here visiting someone." I reply.
"Aww bless darling enjoy your visit." She replies.
I follow her directions and find the florist no problem at all. I manage to find a nice bouquet of red, white and pink roses and buy some white lilies for you to. I pay for the flowers and thank the florist. I decide to have a walk around the little town whilst I'm out to see if I can find anything else to buy you or to see if there's anything interesting. The town is rather quiet and everyone seems to know each other and I feel like a 1000 eyes are staring at me as I walk down the street as they can instantly tell I am an outsider. I have a look for a gift for you and decide to head back to my car after not being able to find anything. I drive back to the castle and pull up on the drive before grabbing both bouquets from the back seat. After grabbing the flowers I decide to leave the white lilies on your bed in your room. I head back upstairs and hear that you are still in Jade's room as I hear you both laughing and giggling like your back at school. I slip into your room and leave the lilies on your bed and put the roses into a vase for you, before slipping out of the room again.

About 15 minutes later....
You and Jade decide to head into your room as you wanted to show Jade a new pair of your shoes. That's when you notice the flowers.
"He's so sweet bless him he didn't forget." You say noticing the flowers.
"Aww Zoe, he's so cute bless him." Jade says
"He really is so cute for doing that for me." You say smiling.

Meanwhile I decide to head back downstairs into the living room to relax for an hour before I shower ready for tonight. I head downstairs and pull down on the living room door handle opening the door.
"Ah Hello Jack darling come and sit down." Jen says welcoming me into the room.
As I walk in I'm met by Jen, Clare, Dave and Jill. I notice Jon and Izzy are gone but I don't question where. Jen and Jill beckon me over and i sit in between them both on the living rooms rather large soda.
"So Jack was this morning helpful then?" Jill asks me.
"Yeah it was so helpful and I've definitely taken everything that was said on board." I reply smiling.
"Aww I'm glad it was helpful Jack." Jill says.
"We are too good to these working class boys." Clare says giggling.
"I suppose we are Clare." Jen says also laughing.
"There's no suppose about it." Dave says joining in on the fun.
I laugh along with you all as I know what you've said is true you'd all been really good to me and I never could re pay you.
"So Jack you all ready for tonight sweetie?" Jen asks.
"Yeah I think so I just need to get changed into something smarter and freshen up a bit." I say smiling.
"Aww bless you, you and Zo will have so much fun make sure you look after her." Jen replies.
"Zoe should be looking after him." Dave says smiling.
"You and me both know it's the other way around, Jack's a good boy." Jill says.
"Your probably right there." Dave replies laughing.
"Probably, Definitely!" Jill says laughing back.
"We've put so much pressure on the poor boy." Jen says wrapping her arm around me.
"He will be fine those to get on so well." Jill says.
"To be honest Jack might be able to calm her down he's managed to take her out to dinner where she will be wearing a dress and not some overalls." Clare says laughing.
"It was Zoe's idea." I say smiling.
"Oh ok well anyway I hope you both have fun, we best let you go and get ready." Clare replies.
"Thank you, sorry to be pain but is there anywhere I could have a shower?" I ask.
"Aww sweetie bless you, you can use the main bathroom." Jill replies.
"Thank you ever so much." I reply.
"There's towels in there Jack." Jill says smiling at me
I leave them all to it they all seemed to be having a good time and I headed upstairs to the main bathroom. I grab a towel for myself and then the size of the room hits me, it's the size of my c***dhood home it's huge. I take off my jeans and t shirt as well as my boxers and turn on the rather large shower. I figure out how to set the temperature and get it on a comfortable setting, I find some rather expensive shampoo and men's shower gel and begin to wash myself. Making sure I don't miss a nook and cranny, after all I want to look good and most definitely smell good. I was going for dinner with the most beautiful girl in the world and I definitely didn't want to let the side down. I rinse myself off and wrap myself in a towel to dry off. As I am drying myself off I notice that I had left the door open a little bit, but I could have sworn I shut it. As I clock onto the door being open it opens even more and you are standing there in your cute summer dress.
"Sorry to disturb you sweetie you did look rather nice when you were in the shower and I don't suppose you brought a suit with you did you?" You ask.
"No I didn't Zoe I didn't think I'd need one." I reply.
"Does that mean we can't go out?" I ask nervously.
"Don't be silly sweetie I'm sure Jon will have a suit you can wear. I'll go and ask him if he does." You say smiling.
"You just wait here handsome." You say to me.

I wait in the bathroom as you nip back downstairs. You decide to head to the living room as that's where everyone is likely to be and your judgement was right. It was right most of the time. You heard Jen, Clare, Jon, Izzy, Dave and Jill talking and laughing and you pulled down on the door handle opening the living room door.
"Jon can I borrow you for a second please?" You ask.
"Yeah of course." Jon says standing up to leave the room.
You both leave the living room and you shut the door behind you.
"Jon I need a favour please." You say with that innocent smile of yours.
"Yeah ok Zoe what is it?" Jon asks.
"Well it's not for me it's for Jack we are going to Gleneagles for dinner tonight and he hasn't got a suit I was wondering if he could perhaps wear one of yours." You say smiling.
"Of course he can, me and him are the same shoe size to so he can have a pair of nice shoes to wear." Jon says smiling.
"Thanks your the best." You say jumping up to kiss him.
"Your welcome Zoe I'll go and get it him and I'll leave it in your room." Jon replies.
"I'll leave you to it then Jon after all I need to go and get ready." You reply.
"Enjoy your night Zoe." Jon says.
"Oh I'm sure we will." You reply.
And with that Jon followed you upstairs and went into his and Clare's room to grab a suit ready for me after all the Gleneagles had a black tie dress code. He grabbed the suit and a pair of shoes for me and followed you to your bedroom leaving the suit on the bed.
"Thanks Jon he will really appreciate this." You say kissing him again.
"Your welcome Zo." Jon says as he leaves the room.
You leave your room to and head to the bathroom.
"Mmm Jack I'm going to have a shower you carry on sweetie." You say taking off your cute summer dress and that's all you had to take off as you has nothing on underneath. Absolutely nothing at all. I stop doing my hair and turn around to admire your perfect body, everything about you was perfect from head to toe. You stepped into the shower and I continued to admire you. I was still only wrapped in a towel and there was now a bulge in that towel.
"Jack it's rude to stare." You say giggling.
I go all red as you say this and continue to do my hair as you shower. The water ran off your body and made you look even more like a goddess you oozed beauty and power. You washed your beautiful brunette hair and made sure every single nook and cranny of your body was clean. You waited for me to turn around again and then you decide to give your little tits and perfect pussy some extra attention.
"Jack once your done sweetie there's a suit on my bed, I think Jon left some shoes to." You say.
"Ok Zoe I'll go and get changed." I reply
"Aww good boy once your done you can wait downstairs as I want to surprise you with my outfit." You say smiling.
"Ok Zoe." I reply.
I walk out of the bathroom shutting the door behind me in just my towel as Sean walks upstairs.
"You alright mate?" He asks.
"Yeah I'm good thanks mate." I reply.
"Good lad, you off out with Zoe tonight?" He asks.
"Yeah mate." I reply.
"Have a good night mate, and can me and you have a catch up tomorrow we can go for a drink if you'd like?" He asks.
"Yeah of course mate I'd love that." I reply.
"Yeah me to just like old times eh." He says.
"Yeah just like old times." I reply.
"See you later mucker." He says.
"And you mate." I reply.
He heads into his bedroom and I walk along the landing and into your bedroom in one of the spires. I notice the pair of black shoes on the floor and the suit is in a suit bag. I slip the suit trousers, the white shirt and black tie on and slip on the suit jacket. I find my socks and slip back into my trainers to walk back across to the boathouse and grab a fresh pair of socks and pack my dirty clothes into my suitcase. I spray some aftershave on and slip on the Oxford shoes. I make some final adjustments and check myself in the mirror. Once I'm done I head back into the castle and into the living room.
I pull down in the handle and open the door.
"Wow don't you look smart!" Jen says standing up to hug me.
"Thanks Jen." I reply.
"You do look very dapper young man." Jill says.
"Thanks Jill." I reply.
"He's a very handsome boy." Clare says.
I go redder and redder with every comment that's being made about me, I'm not used to being complimented so much.
"Let the boy sit down." Dave says.
I sit in between Jen and Jill as I did earlier.
"Jon thank you for letting me wear this suit." I say.
"Oh don't worry about Jack you look really smart in it." Jon replies.
"I really appreciate it Jon." I reply.
"Well I hope you and Zoe have a good night Jack." Jon says.
"I'm sure we will." I say.
We continued to sit and chat about everything and anything, I loved being in Scotland with you all and I'd had an amazing day. I had been offered a job working with you all and that had only just sunk in. Surely something bad had to happen. Or would I get some luck...
After about an hour I heard a familiar voice, a rather loud familiar voice.
"JACK YOU SHALL GO TO THE BALL!" You said.
I stand up from the living room and I am met by you at the top of the stairs you are wearing a long beautiful black dress, face perfectly made up, long wavy brunette hair, and black heels.
"Wow! Zoe you look unbelievable." I say.
"Well sweetie you look rather handsome yourself." You say smiling.
Everyone had followed me from the living room and Sean and Jade were on the landing next to you. It sounds as if you'd alerted the whole castle. Pippa and Sara walked into the hallway to form outside and Sabine stood next to them.
"Have fun you two." Sabine said.
"Aww we will Sabine." You say smiling.
"We will Sabine thank you." I reply.
"Look after him Zo." Pippa said.
"Oh we both know it will be the other way around." Sara says which causes everyone to laugh a little.
"I'll be looking after him." You say confidently.
"Have a nice time both of you." Sean says.
"Thanks mate." I reply.
"Aww thanks Sean." You say.
"Have a good time both of you, look after Mr Jack, Zoe." Jade says.
"Oh we will have a good time and I'll look after him why do you all think I won't." You say.
"Have an amazing time both of you." Jen says.
"Thanks Hun." You say to Jen.
"Thanks Jen." I reply.
"Have a nice time Zoe look after his rather handsome young man." Clare says smiling at us.
"Thanks Clare and of course I'll look after him. He's the bad influence anyway." You say.
"Well Jack is the only one not to get into trouble yet and Zoe your definitely the bad influence." Jill says.
"I suppose I am." You say.
"You definitely are." Dave says laughing.
"Jack come here sweetie." You say.
I walk up the stairs and stand next to you.
"Could someone get a photo of us together?" You ask.
"I'll do it." Sean says smiling.
"Thanks darling." You say handing Sean your phone.
"Shall I do it from the bottom of the stairs?" Sean asks.
"Yes sweetie that would be perfect." You say.
Sean squeezes past us both and heads to the bottom of the stairs and begins to take some photos of us both.
"Thanks Sean I'll come and grab my phone now." You say.
As you go to take step I notice you come off balance a little so i take you by the hand and we walk down the stairs together.
"You two make my heart melt." Sara says.
We reach the bottom of the stairs and Sean hands your phone back to you and you give him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Come on then sweetie pie your chariot awaits." You say laughing.
You take me by the hand and lead me outside and towards the helipad and help me into the backseat and sit next to me.
Jen and Jon followed us out and they were going to be our pilots.

Meanwhile inside.....
"Well Izzy what are we going to do with you tonight?" Jill asks.
"I don't mind Jill." Isobel says.
Sean headed back upstairs and decided to go back to his room for a little while as far as he was concerned after what he had done he didn't deserve to spend time with you. Sara decided to follow Sean upstairs, she had been thinking about what Zoe had said this morning and she decided that it was the right thing to do. Sara walked towards Sean's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Sean said.
Sara pulled down on the handle and opened Sean's door.
"You ok Sean?" Sara asks.
"Yeah I'm ok." Sean replies.
"You just don't seem yourself Hun." Sara replies.
"I've just been thinking about what I've done." Sean says.
"Aww poppet we all forgive you." Sara says.
"Are you sure?" Sean says.
"Yeah sweetie now can I speak with you." Sara says.
"Yeah of course." Sean replies.
"Sean I really really like you and I can see us having a relationship together more than just a friendship and I was wondering if you were thinking the same?" Sara asks.
"Sara I really like you too and I'd love to be in a relationship with you." Sean replies.
"Aww sweetie." Sara says kissing Sean.
Sean and Sara melt into a kiss at first it's only lips and then there tongues intertwined this lasted for a few minutes before Sara pulled away.
"Come on Sean let's go downstairs I don't want you being stuck up here on your own." Sara said.
"Ok Sara." Sea replied.
Well it sounds like there's another relationship in this house. Or should I stay castle.

Meanwhile in the helicopter.....
"Thanks for taking us to Gleneagles." You said.
"Your welcome Zoe." Jen said.
"You'll love it here Jack it's so nice sweetie." You say.
"Thanks for letting me come Zoe." I reply.
The helicopter journey wasn't very long and we continued to make conversation about everything and anything. Your phone went off during the journey, you had reviewed a text from Sara,
'Zoe I did what you said this morning I spoke to Sean and it went really well I guess you could say we are in a relationship now. Xxx.'
You sent her a reply.
'Congratulations Hun I'm so happy for you both you two are so good together. You remind me of me and Jack in a way and I know how much he means to you xxx.'
A few minutes later we come into land on the Gleneages helipad. You open the door for us both and Jen and Jon step out to.
"Have a wonderful time." Jen says kissing us both on the cheek.
"Yeah have an amazing time." Jon says shaking my hand and giving you a kiss.
We wave them goodbye and walk across the lawn to the restaurant, linked arm in arm.
"I've been looking forward to this all day sweetie." You say.
"Me to Zoe." I reply.
We walk arm in arm into the restaurant you look so beautiful and confident as we take a seat at our table. I feel as if we are being watched by a 1000 eyes as we sit down after all we have just flew in by helicopter. We sit down and get ourselves comfortable.
"I don't think many of the people in here are best pleased with us." You say smiling.
"Why?" I ask shyly.
"Well I bet all of these have drove their expensive sports cars here and we land in a helicopter, believe me Jack some of these people are horrible." You reply.
"Oh ok I'm not used to be in a place like this." I reply.
"Well considering its your first time your the best dressed guy in here." You say smiling at me.
"Thanks Zoe your easily the most beautiful woman in here." I reply.
"Thanks sweetie pie." You reply.
"Your welcome Zoe." I say shyly.
"Let's have a look at what we want to eat and then we can decide what wine to have with it." You say.
"Ok Zoe." I reply feeling out of my league I was not used to being in such an expensive restaurant.
We look at the a la carte menu for a few minutes until we have both made a decision as to what we want.
"Are you ready to order Jack?" You ask me.
"Yes I am Zoe are you?" I reply.
"Yes I am sweetie." You reply.
A waiter walks over to our a table.
"Are you ready order Sir and Madam?" He asks.
"Yes please." You reply.
"What can I get for you Madam?" He asks.
"Can I have the roast Venison please." You reply.
"Of course and for you Sir?" He asks.
"The roast Venison please." I reply.
"And any drinks Sir or Madam?" He asks.
"Some Pinot Noires please." You say.
"Yes of course madam that goes very well with the venison." He replies.
The waiter walks away and arrives a few minutes later and pours some wine for us.
"Shall I leave the bottle here madam?" He asks.
"Yes please that would be perfect." You reply.
"Enjoy your night." He says.
"Thank you." I reply.
"Thank you." You say.
I take a sip of the rather expensive wine and you follow suit.
"You ok sweetie?" You ask me.
"Yeah I'm ok Zoe I just feel out of my league." I reply.
"Aww bless sweetie don't feel like that." You say smiling, the smile that never fails to make me feel better.
"I feel like everyone is watching me." I say.
"They probably are sweetie your the most handsome guy in here the men are jealous of your suit and their wives and girlfriends are probably jealous of me because I'm with you." You reply.
"Do you really think so?" I ask.
"Oh sweetie I don't think so I know, they are all jealous." You say giggling.
"Well I suppose I haven't done bad for a first time." I reply.
"No you haven't sweetie, and I've been waiting all day for it just to be me and you." You say.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yeah sweetie I love spending time with you. Can I ask you something?" You ask.
"Of course." I reply.
"How are you and Hannah getting on?" You ask.
"I think it's going well Zoe we love spending time with each other and there's been no arguments yet." I say.
"Aww bless sweetie I'm glad it's going well I'm so happy and proud of you I really I am, you've always deserved someone special and it sounds like you've found that in Hannah." You reply.
"Thanks Zoe." I reply.
"Your welcome sweetie, so what do you think of Scotland then?" You ask me.
"I really like it Zoe it's beautiful and the people are friendly to." I reply.
"Aww I'm glad you like it and thank you ever so much for the flowers Jack I thought you'd have forgotten." You reply.
"I wouldn't have forgotten Zoe I promised I'd get you some and I got you some." I reply.
"Yes you did I might have to get rid of this dopey nickname then hadn't I." You say laughing.
"It's up to you." I reply laughing back.
"Ok dopey and Jade told me earlier you've let her have your coat." You reply still laughing.
"I did say that she could have it." I reply.
"But I had it first." You say pretending to be upset.
"Well I guess you'll have to share." I reply.
"That might be difficult." You say laughing.
"I can't believe you both like it so much." I reply.
"We both love it, it's like a duvet on us it's that big we will have to buy you a replacement." You say laughing.
"You don't need to do that." I reply.
"Yes we do my darling prince." You say.
"Well if you insist." I reply.
"Well I do insist sweetie pie." You reply.
"Ok Zoe." I reply.
As I say this a waiter arrives at our table.
"Two Roast Venison." He says.
"That's us." You reply.
He places the food on the table and then tops up our wine for us.
"Thank you ever so much." You say.
"Thank you." I say.
"Your welcome enjoy your night." He replies.
"Jack, how are you and Sean getting on now?" You ask with a worried look on your face.
"It's getting better, we are going out tomorrow just us two for a drink." I reply.
"Aww that's a good a drink and a catch up." You say.
"Yeah I'm looking forward to it." I say.
"Aww good sweetie pie I hope it goes well." You say.
"Me too." I reply taking a sip of my wine.
I pick up my knife and fork and tuck into my roast venison.
"What do you think?" You ask.
"Wow it tastes amazing I've never had venison before." I reply.
"Goodness gratuitous me really, you working class boys need to get out more." You say laughing.
"I suppose we do Zoe." I reply.
"I'm only joking darling I'm glad your enjoying it so what's been going on with you then?" You ask.
"Nothing really Zoe life has been pretty boring for me recently." I reply.
"Well I hope this holiday has made it better." You reply.
"Just seeing and speaking to you has made it better." I reply.
"Aww you sweet thing my darling prince I'm so glad you came to Scotland I've missed you, your charm and your wit and even your stupidity. You never fail to make us laugh." You reply.
"Thanks Zoe that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me." I reply.
"Well it's true sweetie." You reply as we eat together.
We continue to sit and eat making conversation about anything and everything, we loved spending time with each other and soon after dinner was finished and we had drunk a bottle of wine between us.
"Jack shall we get some desert and then some cheeses to share maybe with some port and then we can go into the bar and have a drink?" You ask.
"That sounds perfect Zoe." I reply.
"Ok then sweetie have a look for what you'd like." You say smiling at me.
"Ok Zoe." I say admiring how beautiful you look in that dress you look perfect. You were easily the most beautiful woman in this room everything about you was perfect and I couldn't believe I was sitting opposite you but somehow I was.
I take a look at the menu and decide upon Hazelnut and Muscovado Cake, Poached Pear, Caramel Ice Cream. With you deciding on the same. A waiter walks over to us it's the same one as before.
"Anything I can help with Sir or Madam?" He asks.
"Yes please could we both have Hazelnut and Muscovado Cake, Poached Pear, Caramel Ice Cream. And could we get a cheeseboard with some port after we have finished out desert?" You ask.
"Of course madam." He replies.
"How have you been Zoe?" I ask.
"Oh I've been really good sweetie everything is going well with us all and business has improved which is always good." You say smiling.
"Aww I'm glad everything is going well for you all." I reply.
We continue to chat for a few minutes and our deserts arrive. The cake is like nothing I have ever tasted before it's beautiful. I continued to eat the dessert with you as we chatted about what happened earlier and about me and Hannah and how well it had been going. After we'd finished desert the table was cleared and the waiter waited for about ten minutes before brining the cheese and port for us both.
"Zoe I've never had port before." I say as you pick up your glass.
"Your so uncultured I can't bring you anywhere can I." You say laughing.
"I hope you like it now." You say.
I take a sip of the port and start with the mildest cheese first.
"Wow at least you know cheese etiquette." You say laughing.
"Yes I do." I say laughing.
It doesn't take us long to finish the cheese at port.
"Come on sweetie you can get me a drink in the bar we will let someone else have this table." You say standing up.
I stand up with you and you take me by the hand.
"Sweetie that snobby bitch over there has been death staring at us all night let me go and say something." You whisper to me.
"Are you sure Zoe?" I ask.
"Yes sweetie it will be fine she's been giving us both the evils all night." You reply.
You take me by the hand and we walk across the restaurant towards her table. You ooze confidence as we walk over you've done this before however I'm a little nervous as to what the woman might say to me or even worse what her boyfriend or husband might say. We arrive at their table still hand in hand and I notice you smile it's your rather evil smile though.
"Well me and my rather handsome friend here noticed you staring at us all night." You say to her.
"No we weren't!" She exclaims.
"Oh we both know you were what are you jealous of my dress, maybe your husband or boyfriend is jealous of the suit he's wearing, or is because you came in your sports car and we arrived by helicopter or are you jealous because Jack here is holding my hand and not yours." You reply.
"Did your mum tell you that you shouldn't be be jealous." You say smiling.
The woman and her boyfriend do not know what to say and you take me by the hand and walk away confidently.
"Mmm come on sweetie you can buy me a drink." You say as we walk away.
You take me by the hand and lead me to the bar, we find somewhere to sit and make ourselves comfortable.
"What would you like to drink Zoe?" I ask.
"A nice glass of red wine would be beautiful darling or maybe even a glass of champagne." You say smiling.
"Champagne sounds good." I reply.
"We can raise a toast to you and Hannah." You say smiling.
"Ok Zoe shall I get us a bottle?" I ask.
"Yeah go for it sweetie." You reply.
I head up to the bar and buy us a bottle of champagne and ask for two glasses. I pay by my card and head back to the table. The bottle had already been opened at the bar much to your disappointment.
"Aww they've opened it for you I wanted to see you try and open it." You say giggling.
"He didn't give me a choice he just opened it for me." I reply pouring us a glass each.
"Thanks sweetie pie let's make a toast, to you and Hannah." You say.
"To me and Hannah." I reply raising my glass.
"To you and Hannah." You reply raising your glass.
"Thanks for bringing me out Zoe." I say.
"Your welcome Jack I couldn't think of a better way to spend this wonderful evening." You say smiling at me as we drink the rather expensive bottle of champagne.
"Neither could I." I reply.
You snuggle up with me on the sofa as we drink the champagne and I notice you getting a little ***** as you drink more.
"You ok Zoe?" I ask.
"I'm tickety-boo sweetie just perfect." You say slurring your words.
"Are you sure?" I reply laughing.
"Yes I'm fine honestly." You say giving me a kiss on the forehead.
"Ok Zoe." I reply.
We finish off the bottle of champagne together and then you suggest the next idea for the night.
"Jack can we do something?" You say slurring your words again.
"Anything for you princess." I reply.
"Aww your so sweet can we share a kiss under the stars." You say smiling.
"Of course Zoe." I reply
You to stand and you stumble a little and I help you, you take me by the hand and lead onto the lawn of Gleneagles and we kiss under a moonlit sky. The kiss is romantic and passionate we stare into each other's eyes, for those moments nothing else mattered and everything was perfect. Just perfect.
You pull away first which I was shocked about.
"Thanks sweetie shall we head upstairs to our room." You say.
"Ok Zoe that sounds good." I reply
You take me by the hand and we head back inside the hotel as we walk inside my phone rings in my pocket.
"I better go and answer that Zoe it might be Hannah or maybe mum or dad ringing form Antigua." I say.
"Take your time sweetie. We are in the Blue Tower suite." You reply.
"Ok Zoe see you soon." I reply
I head outside and pull my phone out of my pocket and notice Ellie is ringing me. I answer the phone not worried at all. Maybe it was Hannah using Ellie's phone because she had no service. However Hannah's voice wasn't the voice I heard at the other end of the phone it was Ellie.
"Jack are you on your own?" Ellie asks calmly."
"Yes I'm on my own is everything alright." I reply.
"Jack I have something to tell you, Hannah told me not to tell you but I couldn't do that to you darling your such a nice lad and we've always got on well." Ellie says.
"What is it Ellie?" I ask with worry in my voice.
"I can't put this nicely Jack so I'm going to tell you straight, me and Hannah went out tonight to celebrate your new adventure together and we were in Cannock and she bumped into her ex and they hit it off again in fact they were getting on like a house on fire. I tried to stop her and she didn't seem to care about what she was doing or you. It wasn't a drunken mistake either Jack she only had one drink. I'm so sorry to tell you this Jack but I couldn't keep it from you. I think Hannah and her ex are back together permeantly now she left the club with him and I came home to tell you." Ellie says.
"Thank you for telling me Ellie I really appreciate it I just can't believe it's over." I say upset.
"Neither can I Jack she's made a monumental mistake and she will live to regret it now listen to me Hun you know where I am if you need anything or just want to talk about anything, me and George are still together and we are both there for you, I want to you to remember that." Ellie replies.
"Thanks Ellie your amazing I'll leave you to it say hello to George for me." I say still upset.
"I will Jack enjoy Scotland." Ellie says.

The phone call ends and tears are streaming down my face it's all over. The best thing I've ever had all over in one night.

Meanwhile 300 miles away....
"I feel so sorry for him he doesn't deserve this not at all." Ellie says to George.
"No he doesn't he's been so good to her didn't he transfer some money this morning to her for your spa day." George said.
"Oh my goodness he did." Ellie says getting upset.
"Come here Ellie don't get upset we will sort it for him." George says hugging her.

Back in Scotland...
I walk back inside the hotel and head to the reception and ask where the Blue Tower suite is. The male receptionist points me in the right direction and as I walk to the room I keep thinking to myself what will you say, is it my fault why she cheated. Will you be angry and annoyed at me. My head is travelling at a million miles an hour and I cannot focus. I find our suite and knock on the door.
"It's open sweetie, I'm in the bath you can wait for me on the bed if you'd like." You say.
I walk into the suite and lie on the comfortable bed and wait for you as my thoughts and emotions get the better of me I start to cry again thinking about everything me and Hannah had done and the big adventure we had coming up. That big adventure that would no longer be happening. I lay on the bed alone with my thoughts and I don't even hear you come into the room.
"You ok sweetie what was that phone call about?" You ask.
"It was from Ellie one of mine and Hannah's friends they went out tonight to celebrate my new job offer from you and Hannah bumped into her ex and they got back together Hannah left with him and they went home together. Ellie came home and told me." I reply getting all upset.
"Aww sweetie I'm so sorry." You reply snuggling up with me wrapping your arm around me like a friend would.
"I guess I must have done something wrong." I reply crying.
"No you didn't sweetie you are a sweet boy she was the stupid one she will regret her decision it may not be today or tomorrow but one day she will wake up and think why did I do that and she may even try to come back. But you will have moved on and found someone else." You say pulling me in close and kissing my forehead.
"Will I Zoe." I say getting more upset.
"Of course you will." You say hugging me tightly.
"I promise you sweetie there's someone a million times better than her I know you will. Now is there anything I can do to make you feel better." You say pulling me in closer.
"I'm not sure Zoe." I say.
