Jaded heart

Those small things

Being away for over a year working and finding it hard to get the same time off with my sibling, I can now officially say we all have the weekend together and I have no idea where to start, I knew it be hard to see my family because once my phone goes off I have to work its my duty and now that both my brother and sister have this weekend off I am going to enjoy it. I have a younger sister Anna and she is a kindergarten teacher but I honestly don't know how she does it as I b****y hate children, they are soo messy and the children I come across have guns so it has just put me off slight. My brother Bradley is pilot for a airline he tells me he loves his job as he's always flying and I am happy for him, however he's hard for us all to see each other as none of us can really get the same weekend off but we are always in contact making sure each of us are ok especially at the holidays. 

Pulling up outside my apartment I race inside for a quick shower and a change of clothes before meeting the siblings, I don't want to waste any time as my job is unpredictable and I can get called upon at any times. Being the leader can suck at times and my little selection can do it without me I trust them but I cant afford to loose any member of my team, we have a good balance and I couldn't ask for anything else, each one of them brings there own little something and we work. 

Stripping out my clothes I step into the shower letting the hot water run down my body where the scars lay on my stomach, arms and legs. I have scars all over my body from his job and personally I don't mind until I get a scar on my face which I don't want, I have a good looking face and a toned body so I have no problem pulling women but I know when I get scars on my face it wouldn't be as easy as it is now. I remember each and every scar on my body like it was yesterday and theres some that I don't as not every job was easy, I had a couple of scares in my life but looking down at my body I hope I wouldn't be getting any more, I become a lot more careful now. Washing my hair I use the shower gel on the rack and wash myself quickly knowing my sibling will be at our meeting spot soon but I only take a couple minutes to get ready once I am out the shower. Rinsing everything off I turn the shower off and wrap the towel around my hips before walking in my room looking for my casual clothes to wear, I don't want nothing fancy but something decent without rips or strains. Finding the decent outfit I can look in the mirror and know I did a good job before leaving, it should only take me a couple of minutes to drive, rubbing a towel around my hair I let it dry natural knowing it be dry in a couple of minutes. Grabbing my car keys and phone I have one last look in the mirror before checking my pockets again and leaving, making sure I aren't leaving my siblings long. 

"What took you forever, hot chick at home or something?" I hear my brother laugh passing me my drink he has already order and I take it but laughing at his questions he flown my way before I had a chance to sit down. I love my siblings and feel bad I cant see them more then I do but I wouldn't change them for the world even when they ask questions before I have taken a seat, drinking a couple sips of my coke I look at my brother and sister noting that they look completely the same the last time I saw them, Anna looks just as innocent as she did when she was younger and Bradley looks like he's trying to grow a breed bless him. 

"Lost track of time brother, took me a little longer on the way back from base" I say not telling him that it took me a little longer in the shower as his head would straight go to the gutter and I don't need to hear about that in front of my baby sister, even though she has the dirtiest mouth when she has something to say but I know she's innocent around her students. 

"No women your hiding at your house then?" Anna says placing her drink down with a smirk and I look at my brother as he only knows I am banging some women as he saw me with her once and has held it against me now. He accidentally saw Gabrielle leave my apartment one time and i***t even took a picture to ask who the cutie was and now every time we speak about women he has this evil smirk on his face. Swallowing hard I look at my sister and give her a cheeky smile trying to let her down nicely as she has wanted me to settle down but I just can afford to leave someone at home and get hurt. 

"There's no girlfriend in my life Anna, you be the first to know when I settle" I tell her kissing her on the cheek as I can only put up with one women in my life and thats her, when I do bring a women home I want both Anna and Bradley to like her and get along as Anna is really picky, she wants someone like a house wife for me while I'm not into that type, I want a hands on women who isn't afraid to get dirt under her nails and will challenge me in the bedroom and in the kitchen. 

Sitting and chatting with my siblings feels like the good old days where we was children deciding what we was going to do when we grew up and now being with them now I don't want to leave them, I miss having these types of conversation where it just flows. I don't see my family enough and Anna isn't afraid to mention it all the time but its about timing which I don't have, Bradley sees Anna more then me because he has breaks unlike me. Having a beer with them I let Anna and Bradley tell me whats going on in there life and I have an open to mind to everything they say not wanting to judge as its not my place or position. Its just nice to have a chat with them in person instead on the phone where I just get to see small photo of them. I will miss this as I don't know when the next time we will be seeing each other but I know Bradley can take care of Anna is anything happens to me which makes me feel better.
