24. The Final Moment of Peace

Reese

MOST OF THE TIME WAS SPENT AT THE PARK FOR THE REMAINDER OF the day.

The weather was nice which made the experience an enjoyable one. For dinner Lawson picked up some cheap burgers from a local joint nearby on the trip to Walgreens. Emerson wanted to print pictures out.

I knew the picture he wanted to print the most is the one with all four of us in it. He had one of all three of us, but this one has Olympia in it.

We were currently in front of the machine that prints out the pictures as Emerson selected the pictures he wanted.

"I'm going to print our four of the group photos out for us all to have one. You want one, right?" Em asked.

"Of course." I murmured before wrapping my arms around him from behind.

Em smiled as he selected the last of the pictures before hitting the print button. He leaned into me before leaning up and kissing me.

"I think Olympia kissed Lawson." Em commented.

"She did what?" I asked.

"Yeah, when I went over to get them for the picture the two were sitting very close to each other and Olympia was blushing. Like really blushing I swear her entire face was almost red. I'm assuming she kissed him, or he kissed her."

"Wow, didn't expect that." I murmured.

"Me either. Olympia has been acting a bit weird the past few days. I think she's still very embarrassed about us." Em told me.

I leaned forward and kissed his cheek.

"I told her things were fine and not to worry about it."

Em turned to me. "I don't think she's the type that just forgets and moves on with her life." Em told me.

"Well, all we can do is move on with our life and act as if it never happened. She'll catch the vibe and do the same eventually. We just have to give it time." I assured him.

Em smiled.

"The things I'd do for your attitude and outlook on life." Em told me. He set a hand against my chest and I grinned at him.

"No worries, babe, I make up for both of us. So don't worry your pretty little head about it. I have Olympia all under control. If she wants to go, make-out with Lawson let her. Anyways we can consider this picture of all four of us a truce. I assume that's why you printed four of them?"

Em smiled. "Yeah, I thought she'd like some sort of memory from this road trip. It's not often you get on an R.V. with a bunch of men you don't know and take a road trip with them. And to top it off enjoy the road trip. You know minus Gadreel hunting her and killing one of her acquaintances which caused her to be on this road trip."

Good way to turn things slightly dark.

"I think she's enjoyed the trip so far. And I'm sure she'll appreciate the picture." I told him.

Em smiled. "Good, because I'd be disappointed if I printed this shit out just for her to tell me she doesn't want it." Em murmured.

"I don't think you'll have to worry about that. Even if she didn't like it, I doubt she'd tell you that."

"That's very reassuring Reese."

I smiled before wrapping my arms around him from behind.

"There's nothing to worry about babe. We just have to get these pictures all printed out and then we can go cuddle in bed. It's our last day here in this city so let's make it a good night." I told him.
