Military Alpha Mate(Boyxboy)

Pick Up

  Sean POV

"Relax Sean, they probably just got stuck in a traffic jam." Tom tried to reassure me. My pacing in the airport didn't slow down in the slightest. 

"What if they got in a car accident. Man, damn that boy he better hope nothing happens to my little Angel." Obviously "that boy" I'm cursing out is my sister's boyfriend. "Little cunt finally makes a move when I'm away," I mumbled under my breath causing Tom to sigh and Mike to laugh a hearty laugh. 

"Well it's true," I mumbled pouting like a little kid who didn't get his way. 

"Sean!" 

My head whipped up so fast that I saw blurry for a second. That voice sounded familiar older, but yet it still felt and sounded like that same voice. Finally gaining my vision back I saw blonde strawberry hair move fast like the wind coming at me. Her blue eyes were wide and filled to the brim with tears coming out. Next thing I know her small body comes crashing into me threatening to knock me over since I was so distracted by how much she's grown. Her shaky arms go around my waist. Sobbing sounds hit my ears. My throat threatens to close up on me as tears begin to sting my eyes. Desperately I swallow them back down. 

Hesitantly one of my hands went to the back of her head. I petted her hair to try and soothe her small body that kept shaking. "I missed you, Sean." Annie finally managed to say after we held each other for a few more minutes. I sniffed not wanting to cry while strangers eyes were on us. "Yeah, I missed you to Annie," I said finally pulling away from her so that I could see her entire being.

"Wow you," my voice cracked, "have grown." She laughed at my obvious statement. Teasingly she said, "Five years have passed big brother I am bound to grow that is what we do." 

"Yeah, five years." The time took awhile to hit me. I studied her facial features and could not believe how much she looked like our mother. She was like a mini version of her. Multiple hands clasped my shoulder. I turned to see Tom and Mike look like proud peacocks. I scoffed and rolled my eyes and their behaviors.

I turned back to introduce my sister officially to my to best friends. "Annie this is Tom," I gestured. "And this is Mike," I pointed to the right. "They will be staying with us for a while." 

She nodded. "Hi, I'm Annie Sean's younger sister." She flashed them a blinding smile. Her eyes all of a sudden when big as if she just remembered something. 

"Jake, I left him," she grabbed my hand and pulled me to hurry up. Swiftly I grabbed onto my duffle bag and tailed after the short girl. Mike and Tom followed us. "Mother will cook your favorites tomorrow, she promised." Happily, she informed me. 

We waited at the entrance for the car to come around. Soon enough a familiar car pulled up and out came the baby cradle snatcher. I had to admit the years have done him well. His scrawny frame filled up. His hair was cut short and pulled back. And he finally got some life in his skin. The deathly pale skin was now tan. He immediately came around and grabbed our bags and put it in the trunk for us. We got into the car my little sister calling shotgun for the front seat. 

"So Sean it's good to see." Jake broke the silence in the car. "Nice to see you too," I mumbled out. I heard his gulp all the way to the backseat where I was sitting. Annie shot me a glare. And Tom bumped me in the shoulder. 

"What," I mouthed to Mike. He just shook his head. A stupid grin on his face. I humped. 

"So Jake, do you know what you are studying for?" I questioned him gaining approval glances from my companions in which I just grunted back at them. 

"I was thinking about going into the newspaper industry. I want to be there and capture all the news first to share with everyone." I nodded at his taste. 

"That sounds good." I complimented him. He flashed me a beaming smile through the rearview mirror. 

"How about you Sean? Annie told me that you wanted to go back to school. Do you know what you want to study for?" 

I shook my head while replying, "No not really." 

"Well don't sweat it you'll figure it out eventually it just takes time It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do. Annie here is a different story she had already had her heart set on becoming a nurse." That was when he made me astounded as he flashed my sister a smile filled with love. At that moment I knew my sister was his whole world. I smiled at my newfound discovery. Mike just shot me an "I told you so" grin. I stuck my tongue out at the older man. 

"Oh, Sean we already called ahead and made the reservations," Annie informed me. I nodded at her. The guys show me a smile saying we can get lucky tonight. "Pigs," I mouthed jokingly. The car went into a comfortable silence with the radio the only noise.
