Summer smiled and nodded, "Yeah I hear yeah."
I grabbed the load of delicates and started separating further to the different colors before I threw them in the washer starting my first load. I continued to speak, "But I do see the argument of trying to keep us safe on all fronts but were in the middle of no where. The closest person is a couple of miles away before we even get to the city proper."
Summer listened and nodded.
I looked around before blowing out again, "So yeah I see both sides of the argument but I think dad went a little over board on the whole security system. But then again the world is crazy."
Summer laughed and whispered, "Listen about us."
I held up my finger and pointed towards the camera.
Summer blinked and looked. Then she looked at me and nodded.
I smiled at her and spoke, "At least answer one question before we go into that topic."
Summer looked at me for a moment before nodding.
I looked at her and wished we could stay down here and talk but with the cameras and the sudden need to be private I had to keep my conversation vague, "Are we at least good?"
Summer looked from me towards the camera before looking at me and thinking her answer. I could see she was trying to figure out a way to be vague and still answer my question. She looked at me and finally said, "For now yes."
I nodded and said, "Well the first load is in. Should take about 20 minutes before it needs to be switched. Would be offended if I draped my arm around you as we go check on Kelly?"
Summer held her hand to her chest, "My my Gabe that sounds like something two couples should do not friends."
She leaned and lightly jabbed my side, "But I'd be honored Benny."
Guess that answered my question. She just confirmed we were still friends with benefits...I think.
I smiled and draped my arm over her shoulder. Summer in turn just leaned into my side like she was perfectly molded to be there as we walked up the stairs to go check on Kelly.
Just as we hit the main floor Summer pinched my ass. Which made me jump and Yelp all at the same time.
I looked at her completely shocked that she just fucking pinched my ass.
Summer giggled and said, "Sorry had to."
I smiled at her. I guess for now she was going to act like the whole Jessica thing never came up. But I was sure that it was going to come up once we were behind closed doors.
I lightly rubbed my ass as I turned my attention to Kel who was furiously scrubbing pans that I had cooked on that I obviously failed to clean after I was done cooking.
I called out to Kel, "How's the kitchen coming?"
Kel stopped and looked at me, "Good I think. I got most of the mess either in the trash or in the dish washer just scrubbing the pans."
Summer spoke, "Here I'll help wipe down the tops while you do that."
Kelly called out, "Thanks."
I smiled and said, "While you two handle the kitchen I'm going to see what all else needs to be cleaned up."
I heard the girl's grunt as I walked off.
Honestly I hate cleaning the kitchen. And the rule of the house is whoever cooks doesn't have to clean.
Though lately it's whoever can't stomach the piling plate in the sink shall clean the kitchen.
Mom always loses that game and eventually cleans the kitchen and then chews us out for letting it get that bad.
Dad always wins that game.
Come to think of it I don't think I've ever seen dad clean the kitchen. Not once.
I looked at the main living room finding it wasn't that bad. Just a little pick up here and there. A little bit of wiping. Maybe some smell good.
I straightened up the room picking up whatever before I broke out the trusty dry mop. I sprayed some hard wood cleaner and dry mopped the floor.
Thank you hard wood floors.
