Just sitting here with my data pad in my hand
Thankfully and finally I am having some much deserved time for myself!
The others have taken their leave, running errands, practicing shooting or in the gym, whatever it was, I am just grateful for them leaving me with a spell of a break before the next op or mission beckons us into space again.
Not that I mind those, space or missions, it is just sometimes, everyone needs a break, some time alone, just to reflect and think.
And so, it is just me, myself and I. No chores, no tinkering, nothing predetermined to be done. The only thing is for me to be sitting here with my thoughts and of course, my data pad.
Well, that is not a bad pun even if Hunter told me to chill and have some fun!
But this is it for me, the epitome of fun!
No hurry, no worries. No others around and pestering for me to keep them company or them disturbingly talking all around me. Not that I don’t talk or love talking, but… For a moment it is simply me and my own private thoughts. Those things up there in my brilliant mind in need of some kind of sorting.
Sort of. As it is pretty orderly up there already, so guess, it just needs some filing and maintenance, fine-tuning as it were, nothing more. And once that is done, I can concentrate on my data pad, sort and file and do some research online and if there is time left, read a holo novel or few.
My favourite ones they be and this is a well kept secret; that I love to read those totally suggestive eyes only bodice rippers. Yes indeed, I know, confusing!!!
But that is simply what I like. Something rather different from my own life.
So, right now, the caf is consumed and I will start on my mind first. Then, the data pad and after that is done, I will do my reading. All done in that particular order and so I will proceed.
After all, that is the way to successfully have fun!
And so, Tech did.
When the others arrived, back from their own stuff having done just for the fun, they all found Tech huddled up on his bunk, in the total darkness with the flare of the data pad his only light to be seen.
It was rather clear what he was doing. The well kept secret?
“Must be one of those bodice rippers his reading over there.” Wrecker whispered loudly.
“Sh, it’s a secret!” Echo told him.
“Yeah, a badly kept one.” Crosshair chuckled.
“Let him be, Tech deserves his, bodice ripper time!” Hunter chimed, ordering the others to leave
Tech alone.
Tech not even glancing up from his reading, too submerged in the plot (what plot) reading.
Whom sever aid reading was no fun, clearly had never read the right kind of tales, those ones Tech would make anyone asking a rather easy sale to start reading!
