The Forbidden Love Chapter 7
From that day on things changed. Over the next few weeks things actually started to get better between the two of us. Over the next few weeks I visited Olympus in the cave every single day. I still went there to heck on his injuries and to make sure he was getting enough rest, but it was no longer the main reason of why I kept going there.
Every time I returned to the cave to visit Olympus my remaining fear of him seemed to vanish even more every single time. During this time I became a whole lot more comfortable with my presence in the cave with him.
To be honest it actually came to a point where I actually started to look forward to my visits with him. I even started to notice that he was starting to enjoy my company although I wasn't in his mind and couldn't really speak for him.
Olympus and I talked about many things during our meetings together. Olympus told me about his life and I told him about mine.
I told him much about my family, my childhood, and what I was planning to do with my life. Olympus asked a question every now and then, but he mostly just sat there quietly and listened to what I was saying. I did the same thing for him when he spoke to me.
Olympus told me much about what his life was like in the palace when it was still standing there thousands of years ago. He told me some things about the other demons in his life, but he kept on going back to one person in particular.
Olympus loved to talk about his mother. Even if we were talking about a completely different subject he kept going straight back to her. In the past I resented Queen Bansheera for all of her countless attempts to destroy Mariner Bay, but listening to Olympus go on about her has partially changed my opinion of her. It was hard not to when he kept telling me about what a good mother she was and still is to him. When I had asked about whom his father was he said that he had no idea. His mother had never given him that information. I pitied him for that because I knew my father and loved him very much even though the two of us did have our differences.
Olympus and I had become friends in our time together and have now become quite fond of each other.
Sometimes when I would go to the cave Jinxer, the caretaker of Olympus, would be there too. Unlike Olympus, Jinxer has taken a lot longer to even close to being comfortable with me. It took a lot of convincing to get him to trust me, he still thought I was going to turn the two of them over to the power rangers, but Olympus and I eventually got him to the point where he could.
At one time when I was visiting and Olympus was sleeping Jinxer told me some legends about their people. I ended up finding them quite interesting.
Spending time with Olympus was great, but it was causing me some problems.
These days when I handed in my assignments they were no longer neat and organized like they used to be, but they were now sloppy and only partially done. There were even times when I handed them in late. My teachers certainly weren't happy with me and they weren't the only ones who were.
My boss, Tony definitely was quite upset with me. With everything that was going on in my life now I was late for work a handful of times which had never happened before. Each time was either during the dinner of lunch-rush when every employee in the place was needed the most.
A few times Tina tried to cover for me until I got there, but she couldn't do everything at once. Tina had to stick to her own tables.
It was at these times when Tony was forced to fill in for me when I wasn't there. Tony had never been forced to do thin in the past and he wasn't at all happy about doing it now. With each time I didn't show up when I was supposed to he had to take over until I got there he just kept getting angrier and even more disappointed with me.
Because of how well I had worked there in the past Tony was cutting me a whole lot of slack, but it wasn't going to last much longer.
The last time I was late to work Tony told me that if I was late again he would have to let me go. Unfortunately, for me it would be coming much too soon.
