Blind to love

running into life

Dropping my devil child at my parents I now have the full day and night on my own knowing its the first weekend in over ten years where its only been me, I hate dropping him off at someone house but Harley wanted to spend a weekend with his grandparents and who am I to stop him as long as my parents agreed which they did. Now I have nothing to do, now driving back to the garage I spot Callie standing outside probably waiting for me to get back as I stuck a 'be back in ten' sign on the door for anyone who comes, however I did know she was coming as she gave me a list of parts to get for her and I have a hand full of them, the parts she was looking for wasn't the cheapest but I got them from a friend who gave me a good price for them, he do anything for a fellow army solider, now I know what they say is true that the services is that a brother hood. Parking my truck I smile at Callie as we walk inside, she hasn't said much too me since the plane ride and I know we have chemistry but I don't want to push her if she isn't ready which I know she's not, there was someone special in her life which she isn't over yet and I think it has something to do with the ring on her necklace. Callie might of not told me anything but I'm great at reading people even if they shut them selfs off at time. 

"you could bring the car here to work on if you like?" I say hoping she takes me up on the offer, she seems to know what's she's doing with cars and I could do with another set of eyes with David at school most times or sat somewhere learning for an exam. Placing the car parts in Callie car while she's in the garage looking around I make sure they all fit surprised she got this car running at all. Closing the car boot I walk back inside ready to hand over a recipe for the car parts

"I don't mind taking you up that offer, are the tools included?" nodding my head I know she's impressed with everything, I take such pride with my garage and everything I do here. Knowing she's going to be working here I feel a lot safer as I can go over her work when she leaves fixing any of her mistakes that I know are less then likely to happen but on the plus side I would love to see her work. Handling over the recipes we quickly talk about her coming tomorrow dropped the car off and when she be here, over the last few days of seeing her around I know she goes running everyday and then gets her hand dirty with her cars, the town has been talking as you can't go anywhere without someone gossiping about someone and shockingly I was in the right place hearing everything ready to step in and defend her honour which she can do on her own from what I have seen. They know nothing about the women apart from she keeps to herself, and she has a brother who only just forgiven her for leaving without a goodbye, you be surprised how this town talks, word gets around pretty fast.  

Finishing up with the garage I close up ready to have a peaceful night without my little man needing to run a couple of errand tomorrow before I pick my son up tomorrow evening. I don't have days without my son as being the single parents and an owner of a garage I don't have time to myself nearly enough as I would like, not like I'm moaning as I have a good life. Driving home I didn't realise the time till I walked though my door and the clock insight ticking away, running a hand though my hair I decide against cooking and order some food, allowing myself to relax in my own house without a ten year old switching the channels or telling me he's hungry. Placing my order online I watch the sports channel while waiting, I been facing a cheeky Chinese for a while but Harley loves his pizza, its not my first choice having pizza but happy child peaceful life honestly. Listening to the sports channel I lay with my eyes closed hearing nothing but the tv, a mans dream come true sometimes. While I'm laying there I hear the door bell ring and my eyes shut open ready to dig hoping its not my parents giving me my son back after they agreed to have him for the night, in a rush to dig in I don't look who's at the door and completely shocked by who's on the other side when I open it

"hey baby, I missed you"i hear and god I want to slam the door in her face, it's a mans worst nightmare. As the gentleman I am I roll my eyes instead blocking her way in as I look up and down knowing there's only a few difference in her face but her high pitch voice is still the same turning my stomach as I listen to her, please takeaway don't turn up while thats here.

"what do you want as it's surely not me or our son?" I say not trying to be nice to a women who walked away from her son and writing her parental rights away while she was at it, shaking my head I just wanted a peaceful night without drama but I couldn't even have that I'm just lucky Harley is at my parents and not here. Looking at the women stood in front of me I spot the delivery driver and this couldn't of been a bad timing, bitch would invite herself in and take my peaceful evening away from me and my food knowing I don't share food or my evenings, why is everything against me today, knowing I paid online I don't have to turn my back as she would walk straight in. Taking the bag from the delivery driver she barges her way in with a grin on her face but all I have to do is pick her up and push her out 

"I want us to get back together, I can still be the women you love" wanting to vomit I turn my back and head towards the sofa wanting to eat and listen to the sports without the witch of the west taking my relaxing time away from me. As she repeats the sentence again I shake my head and let out a heavy hearted laugh she doesn't want her son she wants my wallet shocking, I could never love her again I'm not even sure how I loved her in the first place, well I was a horny nineteen year old back then so thats my mistake. 

Trying to eat my food in peace I try to ignore her high pitch voice go on but its not as easy as her voice goes straight though you, placing my takeout on the table I walk up to her picking her up throwing her over my shoulder needing her out of my sight so she's out of my mind. Walking to the front door I place her outside making sure I lock the door when I come inside, that would shut her up till tomorrow hoping anyway. Heading back to my food I turn the television up enjoying the time I have that left not wanting to take in how much effort and time that women took up. Now finally a mans evening alone and with food.
