erica giggles."you sleep in makeup? i'd hate to see your pillow...i'd really hate to see what erich is doing to it right now!" erica laughs and looks at ada. "nope.i love your nose.you are beautiful miss ada. why if we werent married..." she laughs.

erica blushes. "thank you.that means so much coming from you...even if you are straight1" erica adds with a giggle. "why do you do....it? "erica asks quietly,nodding towards adas arms. "you have such a magnetic personality,you're talented,and a knock out to boot..."

"oh." says erica simply."i used to do it when i was younger." she says very quietly.

erica smiles when ada holds her. she shakes her head. "no." she says just as quietly. "i stopped soon after high school.i was the girl everyone hated,yet nobody would cross.i...i.. just wanted to feel something,anything.thus...." she pulls her shirt up to show very faint scars on her stomach. "i can kinda understand what you are going through....kind of. i'm sure yours is much worse than my pitiful teenage angst." erica smiles at ada. "i will stay up all night tonight,and ride with you to the hospital tomorrow."

she giggles. "never again." erica agrees. "you too,my dear. i am loving this time with you,but i dont ever want to repeat the circumstances." erica is quiet for a moment,then asks."i assume erich knows?"

erica nods and holds ada's hand."you'll get help,ada.i'll do this a hundred times if that is what it takes." erica looks like she might cry. "ada,nothing happened between erich and i in vegas.i swear."

erica gets the point and drops the subject.she smiles when she hears natalya's name." we are doing...fine. but i really think she doesnt trust me. she kinda went off when i told her i was spending the night with you.i didnt say the reason why,and never will. but i think she still thinks i would cheat on her." erica shrugs.

erica eyes widen."oh dont! i think she hates nichole to this day." erica kinda shrugs. "with good reason i guess..i did sorta cheat on her with nichole once. "

erica takes a deep breath. "oh i wish i wouldnt have done it.i'm sure it tore natalya apart...i guess she does have a right to question who i am with." erica sighs." well,shortly after nichole came aboard the duke...you saw big brother right? well...nichole and i sorta had a thing on the show.i asked her several times to be my girlfriend,but she always refused....fast forward to the duke one day.erich and i had our marriage dissolved so i could be,you know.normal with natalya. nichole and i sorta told each other we loved each other.a kiss was had." erica shakes her head. " i knew it was wrong,but did it anyway. natalya found out and was totally pissed.rightfully so. i was pissed because nichole left the day after,leaving me to deal with this all alone. thank fuck sam didnt find out while he was on the boat with me." erica frowns and holds herself. "i've been rotten to natalya."

erica smiles."i hope she knows.i know other people find it weird,but she is perfect for me.i do love her so much." erica smiles at natalyas grandmother's ring on her finger briefly." if richard were still..around,there wouldnt be a you and erich.so i think you'd be fine." erica smiles,feeing odd mentioning ricard's name.
