19. The Pep in the Step

HOMEMADE BURGERS WERE DELICOUS BUT ROLLING THEM OUT individually is a pain in the ass.

However, it's worth the delicious outcome.

After getting home to Olympia in the front of the R.V. with her head buried in a book and Emerson and Reese in the shower I got to work on dinner. I didn't bother to ask what the two were doing in the shower, it's honestly none of my damn business.

Olympia to my surprise offered to help with the burgers which I accepted.

This ended with the two of us outside rolling out the burgers and on occasion stuffing them. Olympia remained silent as she stuffed one of the burgers full of shredded cheese and bacon for herself.

"You seem oddly quiet today, something happen?" I asked.

"Uh no, just thinking." Olympia answered.

"About anything specific?" I asked attempting to make small talk with her.

Olympia is a sweet woman. I wouldn't deny that I do enjoy her company compared to other women I have known. She isn't prone to arguing and prefers to just agree with what is said. She's an all-around agreeable woman.

"Ah, sort of I just don't want to make anything uncomfortable here." Olympia murmured.

"Are you trying to say you developed a crush on one of us or something?" I asked.

"What no, of course not. That's not at all what I'm saying." Olympia was quick to defend herself which made me smile at her.

"You don't think we're attractive?" I asked.

"No, I didn't say that. All three of you are decently attractive men, I won't lie about that, but um, I'm not looking for a relationship anytime soon and some of you scare me."

Reese most likely. He has that effect on certain people. Typically, you avoid him, or you want to fuck him. Or in Emerson and I's case we're his friends. Although it's different for Emerson now.

"Relax, I'm just teasing you."

Olympia stared at the patty she had made in front of her. "I, uh, heard Emerson and Reese in the back while you were gone doing things." Olympia murmured.

"Like bad things or. . . sexual things?" I asked.

Olympia looked over.

"Sexual, um," Olympia trailed off.

"Did you watch them?" I asked.

"No, I was in the front watching a movie and I started hearing them. I was going to leave, but I was scared they might hear me and get mad." Olympia murmured.

"So, you stayed and listened to them?" I asked.

"You make it sound a lot worse than it is. I wasn't listening on them or at least I wasn't trying to."

Olympia's cheeks had already begun to tint red at the mention of her listening in on them.

"Hey, I'm just asking questions, not trying to give you a hard time. I'm not the one to be worried about getting upset. That is between you, Emerson, and Reese." I assured her.

"About that, Emerson came up and saw me. He also apologized for it." Olympia murmured.

"Well would you look at that looks like you have nothing to worry about." I told her.

"Reese may be mad." Olympia commented.

"Doubtful, if Emerson isn't mad, he's not going to be mad. Reese can be. . . frightening when he wants to be but he's a fucking simp where Emerson is concerned. As long as Emerson is cool with it you won't have to worry about him."
