erica "oh,i can see,love.i can see." she slowly pulls herself up the counter and sits beside nichole. "wow.that is some crazy shit.i always though suzie was pretty cool.but sounds like she is being a grade A....pecker head.i'm so sorry she is being a bitchcake to you and miss scott."

erica:i've never really had the pleasure of talking to serenity.she seems very sweet,and yet rubs people the wrong way.personally,i think suzie is jealous of pretty girls...*thinks for a minute* hey,why doesnt suzie dislike me ?! uh,disregard that last bit. *starts flicking dishes into the sink*

erica:*laughs* you are just too much.though i agree,you're right on both accounts,my dear.maybe she thought you had your eyes on one of the fellows here. suzie does like attention from the guys. i hate to say it,but usually i love the woman...not literally,but you know what i'm saying.

erica:*playfully nudges nichole* ooooh chris. whats mr drake going to say about that?

erica frowns. "aw,really? i thought you guys would make a great couple. i guess it's for the best though.as nina has a huuge crush on him." erica kicks her shoes off and stretches. "it's rather honorable of you to respect that chris has a girlfriend.you're one of the good ones,coley pooh."

erica smiles at nichole."sometimes i forget that we are tv. the only time i remember is when i get near the hot tub. i love the thing,but dont want to contribute gratuitous near nudity." erica drinks from a bottle or rum that seems to have materialized from thin air. "oh,nina swoons for your buddy.i think i understand what you are saying about him though. erich and i share a surname and first name for that matter. we are lawfully married but rarely.." erica kinda bounces back and forth in uncertainty of what word to use." you know.....i mostly prefer women." she then giggles," but i like to have my cake and eat it too"

erica enjoys the kisses and returns them, "good plan miss shade. i am facing a helluva hangover tomorrow and need to get started on it. see you in the morning." she walks up to her bed and covers up. she suddenly shoots up,feeling the need to explain the marriage to erich, " oh yeah,we mainly got married so we can use the "i am a married man/woman!!" line and be honest about it. long way to go for a joke,but it's been worth every penny"

erica then turns over and draws her blanket around her head. "see you tomorrow nichole...and whoever else is till awake."

Billy walks into the kitchen in his underwear, his hair all scruffy. He pours himself some cereal

Andros comes into the room and sits down on the sofa. He has toast on a plate and looks at Billy and nods.

"Alright, mate?"

Andros comes out of the house. He walks into the garden and lights a cigarette. He smiles at Erica and looks down.

"Nice feet..." he says, chuckling.
