"shit, i am sorry,i did not mean to upset you." erich says quickly. " i just worry so much about you and with me being so far away." he sighs. "i cant help but have that concern in the back of my mind."

erich shrugs. "if you want. i am sure erica or nichole would be glad to have you visit....maybe not erica." erich laughs slightly. " i hear she is on the outs with natalya,she may seduce you."

erich hesitates slightly before speaking.he slowly smiles though,the oddness of having an ex wife and current wife who care so much for each other has to be unique in life. "well...the harlots went on tour with destinee and adele. rum & coke ,plus that new girl amy j also came along for the ride. in all the shuffle of preparing for the tour....natalya was sorta left behind. erica apologized but natalya never met up with erica."

erich holds ada's hands. "of course not.you're my ada." he grins and adds, "plus,you are usually going to the the headliner.so you might forget me!" erich laughs. even though he and erica do about the same amount of drugs,she is far more scatter brained than he is...if that is possible.

erich laughs." i know,right? we are,by far,the cutest people around.i imagine people think our lives are constant fucking and craziness."

"naturally" erich nods. "we are but humans. but there is the sweetness we have that i think is missing with many people.or that people assume is missing with us." he smirks.

" girl named after the drink?" Erich pauses for a moment." Oh! ....miss rum. " Erich's face loses its smile as well." Yeah...there was that."

Erich looks to Ada,then to the wall and back. He places his hand on hers before speaking." Don't be sorry,Ada. Holding things in only causes resentment. You want to talk about it?" Erich looks away slightly,feeling guilty for hurting Ada.

Erich nods along with every word that comes out of Ada's mouth. Each one cutting him more than the one before it. " I am....sorry. I cannot deny anything you said,other than putting her before you. That is not it at all...I um,put myself before you. It was pure pride,I did not want anyone to think you told me who I could and could not be around." Erich say,getting quieter as he speaks. It's sounds far more assy than it did in his head. "Ada...I do love you more than anything else. It's just....I go stupid sometimes."

Erich puts his arm around her as she sits,happy to have her nearby again. He thinks heavily on his words,as he knows why Ada has such concern about her look. " Ada....you are far from either of those things.you are loved by nearly everyone I know. Especially by me. We are around each other 24/7. I think it's safe to say I am fond of you." He kisses her hand softly. " and as far as being ugly? There are 2 types of girls out there to me: the not even close to adas,and the almost as pretty as adas. I would tell you how beautiful you are more often,but I don't want you think I'm just trying to get you in the sack." He adds with a little laugh.
