Work Day, and Eric's Problem

You didn’t figure anything out, really. Eric backed off on blaming Gemma but was still frustrated at the state of his relationship with Luc. They’d been seeing each other for three weeks at that point, and you couldn’t blame him for feeling invested and then having the rug pulled out from under him - at three weeks with Sabrina and Gemma you were already attached at the hip. You weren’t sure what you would have done if they’d suddenly had a blow-up with you.

Eric was also clearly a little flustered about the throuple situation. You could tell he wasn’t sure whether to give you a high-five and ask questions, or to feel hurt that it had been hidden from him since you all worked together.

Things settled a little once Andy arrived in the office and the work day started properly. Most of the morning went by in quiet, though you, Gemma and Sabrina quietly messaged back and forth a bit to touch base. Sabrina wanted to know why Gemma hadn’t told you and Sabrina about the whole thing right away, and Gemma explained she didn’t want to ruin your date night and figured she would just tell you in the morning, but then everything had happened that morning and she’d been trying to figure out how she felt about it all before she told you guys.

That led to Sabrina offering to let Gemma move in with her, but Gemma liked living with Becca and Charlotte and didn’t want to leave them in a lurch for two months of rent. Sabrina just grinned to herself for a moment after that message, and she messaged back teasing Gemma for not wanting to leave the horny lesbians without having a shot at them herself. Gemma flushed in person and denied that over text vehemently.

By the time lunch was coming around Garrison hadn’t poked his head into the office once, which had become his regular routine to check on the five of you, so you took a water break and went wandering down towards his office and saw that it was closed and the light was off. It looked like he was taking a longer weekend too.

The only problem was that meant you were left in the building without Garrison but with Bellagamba around. You let the others know what you got back to the conference room, and you all decided to keep to the strict lunchtime rules so as not to tempt fate and get caught leaving a little early or arriving a little late. Just in case.

Things got interesting again after lunch when Eric came back from the sub place with a confused but smiling expression.

“OK, what happened?” Gemma asked.

“Well, you know that cute girl who works behind the counter?” Eric said. “She was kind of bantering with me a bit, and so after I paid I asked her for her number to hang out this weekend, and she said yes. Which was awesome. But then on my way back here I got a text from Lucy and she was apologising… and she sent me a picture.”

“What kind of picture?” you asked, guessing at the answer already.

“A, uh, naked one,” Eric said. “Want to see?”

“Yes,” Sabrina said at the same time you said, “No.” The two of you glanced at each other and you shook your head and turned back to Eric. “Whatever she sent, that’s personal between you two. You shouldn’t even offer to share it.”

“Well, you’ve already seen her naked,” Eric said. “What’s the big deal?”

“When did he see Lucy naked?” Gemma asked with a raised eyebrow.

“They’re exes,” Eric said.

“We dated in high school,” you said. “We never got past kissing a little.”

“Wait, really?” Eric was shocked. “I thought… Well, why the fuck is she acting like she is, then?”

“We don’t know,” Gemma said emphatically. “Seriously, Eric. I’m glad that you two were getting along, but after the way she’s been acting with you I’m sorry I suggested setting you two up.”

“You should definitely call the sub place girl,” Sabrina nodded. “You’re right, she is cute. And might not be crazy.”

Eric screwed up his lips in thought, looking down at his phone in his hands, and like magic it pinged that he had a text. He opened it and his eyebrows rose.

“She sent another nude, didn’t she?” Sabrina asked.

Eric just nodded his head, still looking at the phone.

“Eric,” you said, snapping towards him, and he blinked and looked up. “She’s baiting you.”

“Are you two exclusive?” Gemma asked.

“Um, we never really talked about it,” Eric said.

“So just have fun with her, but call the sub girl,” Gemma said.

“I disagree,” you said. “And not because I’m jealous or something. Lucy is showing you her true colours - don’t stick your dick in crazy.”

Gemma snorted and you glanced over at her, and she looked between you and Sabrina a couple of times in a silent implication that you were doing just that. Andy still didn’t know about the three of you, so she couldn’t just say it out loud.

“Hey,” Sabrina said when she caught the innuendo, but then she just laughed and shrugged. She definitely was the wildest, and maybe craziest, of the three of you.

“I dunno,” Eric said, looking down at his phone again.

“I say avoid her,” you reiterated. “Delete the photos so you aren’t tempted.”

“I say you’re here for two more months of internship. Don’t get serious with anyone unless they deserve it,” Gemma said.

Eric turned to Sabrina. “What do you think?”

“I think…” Sabrina pondered out loud. “I think you should do what makes you happy, Eric. So if you want to ride the crazy train, that’s OK. But it’s also more than OK if you don’t.”

Eric sighed, clearly left with a lot to think about.

“I think you should take them both out at the same time and see if you can get a threesome out of it,” Andy said.

That made you, Sabrina and Gemma all snort and cough, and start laughing. Eric joined in a moment later.
