The Twelfth of Never.
(Just another sloppy love story)
It was the day of Daisy's funeral.
"Would you like me to get you some breakfast" asked Ellis who could see how upset Mack was.
"I couldn't eat a thing" replied a very shakey Mack.
" Then let me make you a coffee" said Billy. "Ellis and I have just bought this new coffee maker and we are dying to try it out"
"Ok" said Mack "I'll have a flat white"
Mack gulped his coffee down and headed for the door.
Ryan called him over.
"Come here" Ryan said and gave Mack a big hug. "You know I'm always here for you Scottie" he said "I should call you snotty scotty" Ryan joked "as I'm always wiping your snotty nose whenever you cry. I'd give you a kiss but I dont want to ruin my macho image and a snottered face isnt a good look. Here wipe you nose"
Mack smiled at his friend. See you in the pub for the wake the three men said to Mack.
Aaron picked Mack up and drove him to the cemetary.
The only people there were Mack and Aaron, Manpreet and Miss Brightwell, Daisy's solicitor.
Aaron had his arm firmly round his distraught friends waist, who's knees kept buckling all throughout the service.
Mack had sent a wreath of White roses as they were Daisy's favourite "her cottage is called Rose Cottage." Mack explained to Aaron.
"They are my favourite as well Aaron. When I die will you make sure I have white roses"
"When will that be? The twelfth of never?" said Aaron standing next to Mack at the graveside and looking into his tear filled eyes. "That's a long long time!"
"That's one of my favourite songs" said Mack.
" I remember you sang it to me when I took ill at the allotment." Aaron said.
You ask how long I'll love you I'll tell you true.
Until the twelfth of never I'll still be loving you.
"You remember the words! said Mack.
Mack grabbed Aaron and hugged him " I love you so much. Daisy knew all about us" said Mack "I told her how much I loved you."
"In that case let me give you a kiss," said Aaron " Maybe Daisy is looking down and if she sees us she will know I'm here looking after you." said Aaron who by this time had tears streaming down his face.
"Its that song" said Aaron " it's started me off.
"Come on" said Mack wiping the tears from Aaron's cheeks. "Let's go"
Mack and Aaron walked into the pub where most of the villagers had gathered for the wake. Everyone from the pension club was there.
Mack went to Miss Brightwell and thanked her for arranging everything as he was in no fit state to arrange anything, he told her. I'll work 24/7 to pay you back said Mack.
"Dont worry about paying for the funeral" Miss Brightwell reassured Mack. "It's all coming out of Mrs. Reeds estate"
Aaron and Mack sat in the corner of the pub. Aaron firmly held Mack's hand and only let go to get a plate of food and a cup of coffee for his grief stricken friend.
"Aaron I couldnt have got through today without you" said Mack.
" It was good of Miss Brightwell to do all the funeral arrangements wasnt it?" Said Aaron. "And at least you dont have to work yourself to death to pay her back."
"Yes" said Mack looking across the crowded room where he saw Miss Brightwell chatting to Manpreet.
" I must send her some flowers to thank her" said Mack. "She's quite fit isnt she?"
Aaron laughed "See your roving eye can still focus even though its filled with tears" joked Aaron.
"By the way Aaron, when I went over to thank Miss Brightwell I didn't have a bogey on the end of my nose did I?
"No" exclaimed Aaron "what made you ask that" said a puzzled Aaron smiling.
"It's just that Ryan said I get snottery when I cry, and first impressions and all that"
"God you're vain" laughed Aaron. "Come on Mr. Macsnottery mum's calling us over. Bogey alert over and out"
