I felt as if Eric had interrupted on what could have been a very important moment of my life, when he walked in, using that ridiculous nickname… I felt that annoyed feeling again I felt lately around him, but the ashtonished look on his face when he saw Bette… The woman he had admired and talked about so much to me in the last couple of months (That night on the kitchentable I had recalled avery word he had ever said about her…) in his own house. I saw her through his eyes… as a bigshot in the artindustry… And shaking of my annoyance I walked upto him, hugging him as long as I could bare saying:

‘Hi babe, Bette came over, I lost my earring yesterday at the gallery, can you believe that?’

How could it be that lying to Eric didn’t  matter to me one bit, when lying to Bette had almost brought me to tears… Maybe because this wasn’t particulary about him… Still it confused me… the intenseness of my feelings confused me… It seemed like I was riding on a wave… feeling up and down  and changing emotions in minutes… I had never felt anything like it…

*I think I am a bit stressed out… working so much*

I still saw ashtonishment on Eric’s face and I started feeling rather uncomfortable when…

‘I told you I would be stealing away your girfriend right?’ Bette chuckled…

*God… I wish I had half her looks… half her confidence….*

Still… I could feel and see the tension in her eyes… in her body… But, strangly I knew Eric wouldn’t be able to see through that mask of toughness… of confidence and sureness of herself…

Reading her bodylanguage I had hardly paid attention to what she was saying… At once it hit me when I heard Eric started to chuckle…

Bette:

*Ohmygodohmygod, say something Porter… quit looking at the woman… Talk… Joke… do something… Ok… joke… jokejokejoke*

‘I told you I would be stealing away your girfriend right?’

*Ok Porter… this may not be your best choice of joke at this moment… great job!!!*

I felt the tension build in my body… and relieve wash over it as Eric started to chuckle, moving towards me, extending his hand and starting to shake mine very enthousiasticly
