Erica nods with understanding. This was going so well. In spite of everything,it was good to talk to honor again. " she....has that effect on people. But once you get to know her? She is wonderful and perfect." Erica gushes a little. She wanted honor to know that had hadnt thrown her marriage away for someone not worthy. " i am sorry if it seemed I put people before you. A simple situation turned very complicated quickly when nichole and I got together. Suddenly I had to walk a thin line with keeping you and kai as friends...yet having to get to know faith. The worst part was actually getting to like faith.sitting there knowing that kai was really all about you...you were right earlier when you said something to the effect of I was trying to make up for natalya. Much like faith,she was innocent,yet was going to get hurt. I honestly just wanted everyone to be happy." Erica gives her head a slow shake,before putting her hair behind her ears. It was tough going over the incident when Erica felt sold out by honor,but the reasoning seemed solid,so Erica could atop holding it against her. " that makes sense. It was a tumultuous time.. I mayxhave read something entirely different into it ." Erica is quiet for awhile before addressing the nichole incident. " nichole and faith are very close,and by that time nichole knew. So she already didnt think too highly of you.....j know we probably can never go back to like how it was. I can't see us all having a meal together. But k really don't want this to be goodbye and we part ways "

Ooc:sorry if that last one was a bit all over the place.ky phone could've died at any time. Anything below 30% is actually zero.

Erica could accept that honor at least could see that Erica did love nichole. She couldn't ask for much more. Especially at this point and time. Erica uncaps a bottle of water and takes a long drink. " you are sweet,honor. But not sweet enough to have seen the future. How could you have known I'd end up with nichole and being friends...well,at least friendly to faith? So I can't let you take any blame for making me choose. It just ended up getting real fucked up,real quick.anything else,we can say Is firmly in the past now." Erica says optimistically. They had said their apologies,and they were accepted. She could let go of the grudge. " i don't want things to change either,but I can't see how it can be. Lets be real,kai hAtes me and I assume nichole. Nichole isn't too fond of either of you....." Erica sighs sadly. Making up was fantastic,she was happy she and honor finally talked like big girls. But she had much experience when the lover and friend didn't get along.

Erica felt so foolish for her earlier bitch on wheels phase. Honor knew Erica well enough to know she had the best intentions....even if it sometimes took the long way home. " nichole can be..selective of whom she favors. I wouldn't take it personally. Much like kai." Erica says with a little smirk. In spite of everything,she still liked kai with honor,but knew honor was right. Their significant others would rail against this friendship. " you are right,wynnie pooh. We have worked too hard to just go our separate says. We could easily have never spoken again. Yet,here we are with drinks and babies..." Erica says happily.it was crazy,but crazy relAtionships are what she seemed to deal in. " you and alec are friends?! Ok,this may not be so weird after all! Nichole was a little...ok,probably a lot fine with getting you out of the picture. If you and alec can be fine with each other,why can't we all do it?" Erica was very pleased with how things turned out. Perhaps Takara was her good luck charm. " should we get out the make up and paint bruises in each other? I'm sure that is what people would expect of this!" Erica giggles.

Erica smiles as honor speaks of kai. Maybe it was just all coincidence,it did seem yet another thing that was similar in Erica and honor's lives. Nichole meant well,even if it sometimes looked as though she did not. " at first,I did take kai and his words personally. Hell,i take EVERYTHING personally.I know it's one of my worst qualities. But the other day,after we agreed to at least speak to each other? I took it a lot less seriously. I like that he doesn't let people screw with you. It is sweet." She smiles. After all,she had encouraged both kai and honor to go for it. She knew they would be happier and faith would eventually be happier,even if it was painful at first. ERica nods as she listens to honor speak about her and alec now. It warmed her heart to know things were going well,post relationship with them. She doubted kai and faith would ever have that,but time has a way of fixing things.so who knows? " that is wonderful,honor.having a friend who was that close to you,knowing your daily ins and outs....that is very valuable. I had hoped that's how natalya and I would have eventually ended up. Even with the inevitable divorce,we still would have had Takara between us." Erica bites her lip and looks back towards the sleeping babies. " it means a lot,honor. And I am happy. Nichole and I are slowly becoming like a real couple. Look,I have her kids now! " she grins and waves her arm like a tv presenter in the direction of the kids. " I know you are happy! You and kai are perfect together. Though if you would be happier smacking me one,go ahead. I deserve it" Erica clenches her eyes and holds her head up.

Erica was girly in the way she just loved love. Knowing people were happy was her greatest joy in life. She made a mental note to herself to be on the lookout for a man for faith. She at least owed her that much. " boy,he did seem to hate you back then.I know I totally bought it and was surprised to learn he didn't hate you at all!" Erica smiled, thinking of kai always having a go at honor back in the day. Picturing that happening now would be a riot,woe be to the person to call honor a no nAme blogger. " I wouldn't mind nichole being friends with an ex. I am still friends with Nina. Trust me,we are as platonic as it gets. If both people are happy,there is no reason not to trust. If an ex did lick your shoe..that sounds like the start of good time! " Erica laughs loudly,but quickly quiets down. ' please don't wake them!" Erica says,waving her arms madly. " you know how hard getting 4 babies to sleep at the same time is?! The only thing they usually do in sync is poop." Erica makes a toot sound with her mouth and giggles. " oh taki Chan has been asking for you. She feels very insulted I haven't had you over more. She is such social butterfly." Erica proudly says.

Erica makes her hand like a paw and scratches at the air." Rowrz! It just so happens that is my favorite consistency of sexual tension. And when you finally break that tension? Watch out!" Erica giggles and kicks her feet. She enjoyed honor's company so much,she couldn't bear to think how this meeting could have went. " aside from my stupidity,has anyone else given you two shit about what went down? " she continues while still fighting a losing battle against the giggles. " it would be nice if all break ups were like you and alec. I am pretty sure I have some answering to do in the afterlife. Nichole would probably gut Sam if she ever saw him again. And who knows what's waiting for my sister. I should hook her and faith up. " she says in her lighthearted way,but ending on a sour note. In spite of not knowing her,she has a very low opinion of vara. " don't you know,wynnie pooh? Takara sounds like a music box instead of crying. Her siblings on the othere hand.." she says with a shake of her head. " i kid,they are all sweet and wonderful...even if I forget that one's name." She points at a little girl. " I just call her Nicky.she reminds me of nichole." She cracks up at the inherent wrongness of forgetting a child's name. They were still young,surely it wasn't that important. " ooh,taki Chan would like that. Its not everyday now gets to shop with a tastemaker such as yourself." She warmly says. She always loved honor's style. It was feminine without frilly. " yes,lets just hope her butterflyness doesn't bite her in the ass as many times as it has me! "

Erica grins widely at the mention of queen Alexis. " I can see blocking her. I enjoy reading her things,but she can be so bitchy at times. I tell you,I have almost offered my services to her,just to calm her hostile ass down. " she starts giggling. Erica was enough of a horn dog that the idea of queen's boobs that could dwarf suzie's was intriguing...but the fact there probably was a penis attached to her was off putting. " if I recall,you are the only daughter? That is so cute your dad was on the fence at first. Daughters are on pedestals in daddies eyes. I know I was. He hated Erich for such a long time" she says proudly and in a rare moment of acknowledging there was something to her relationship with Erich. " hmm,so alec isn't into tattooed non musicans that are still in the music industry? Got it." She teases. It would be a weird fit. She didn't know alec,but honor and faith were entirely different,even if their names sounded great together. " I'm thinking alec needs a Chloe. I have an extra. She's adorable,French,loyal and has the best rack I have ever seen...bitch." she giggles again. She loved time with honor,it always felt like a tv sleepover. " something so...nichole?" Erica says the unspoken part of honor's sentence.she had refrained from speaking much about nichole. Mainly because she knew honor didn't like her,and this was more about honor,kai,and Erica. " nichole is far more than she seems publicly .yes,at one time she was manipulative and knew just how to pull my strings. But she really is one of the most loving and well,genuine people I have known. We are perfect for each other." She says this without being catty or defensive. She thought maybe if people knew how nichole actually was,she wouldn't be seen as the devil. " oh no kids? You would look so cute all round and pregnant!" Erica squeals,holding her hands out like she had a belly. " that is how you know you have a good man. He can be tough as nails and still make faces at a baby....its also the mark of a cute baby."

Erica giggles at the prospect for making Alexis happy. " we should all chip in for prostitute who has to register his penis as a deadly weapon!" Erica rummages in her pockets to find a crumpled 20. She wasn't sure what the going rate for a prostitute with a huge penis was,but she was sure it was at least 50 bucks. She frowns a bit when honor speaks of her mother. Erica still hadn't gotten over her own parents' death,but did end up even closer to mariko because of if. " that is so cute he calls to check on you. He does know you and alec are cool,right?" She asks,assuming that was the event honor was speaking of. She picks up a pillow to mute her shriek of laughter from the image of honor and kai being walked in on. " you ever have that happen? My mother walked in when I and maki katsuki were um...you know. My mom turned on her heels,and without missing a beat said " I'll make you girls some soup." It was the funniest moment of my life!" Erica squeals,turning red at the years old embarrassment. She shakes her head with certainity. " that is not crazy stalker ex at all. You care and want to make sure some hooch isn't taking advantage of him. Everyone needs to be loved. Its like,...basic needs stuff." She says with a little gesture. She was convinced she and honor could replace the entire cast of the view. They were that good. " yes,take my word! Never will I ever again force people to try to get to know each other. It was horrible with natalya and nichole.....granted,the underlying issues may have added to that shit. I like you and all,but I am sure neither of us are trying to bed the other." Erica laughs and slowly stops. She still missed natalya as fresh as the day she was taken. Erica shifts slightly in her chair,but it doesn't make the memory go away. " sticks with bellies are the cutest! Its like stick stick stick HOLY HELL,IS SHE HAVING TWINS?!? In spite of only being like 4 months in. " she grins widely,picturing it. She did like honors policy if giving kids back to their owners . She herself was like that aside from ones she was directly linked to. The shade triplets and marlena Hess being those exceptions. " I love hearing you speak of kai." Erica says,leaning back into her chair. "Its just....love. I admire that he doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve."

"Cute rich dad?" Erica says,raising her eyebrow. " fuck that alec idea,let's hook Chloe up with your dad. I am sure she would be an excellent step mom. Like that one Julia Roberts movie." She jokes. The idea of parents having girlfriends and boyfriends and not husbands and wives was foreign to her.her parents were together until the end. She still had trouble seeing herself or any of her friends as parents. Erica giggles at the idea of honor's dad walking in on her. " oh I bet kai would handle that like a champ. He'd be all " oi,could you come back in a few,love?"" Erica does her best kai impression. Which was more cockney than Sheffield. " regular douches?" Erica asks. " so your usual was like kai,but not in a good way? Alec was probably every parents ideal mate for their daughter." Erica always found that pairing odd,but she liked it. It was like the pairing of mariko and Nina. Erica bats her eyelashes when she is called cute. " sounds like a decent deal. No other girls. For either of you. I can't believe you haven't slept with a girl. We lesbians have a chart,and you top the list of targets." Erica gives q wink of her own at honor. " nope. I know how it is to love someone and want to talk about them. Its like inspirational or something...that description sounds a bit like my Coleykins. loved by one,misunderstood by many." Erica giggles. She is sad when honor needs to leave,but understands.neither of them probably expected this conversation to last as long as it did. " oooh,yes. Get your sleep and catch that flight wynnie pooh.take some water for hydration. You dont want your lips to shrink!" Erica squeaks and makes a shrinking action,nearly falling on her butt.

Erica laughs and takes a drink of her water. " probably for the best. But it would be hilarious to suddenly become your....bandmate in law?" She says,slowly turning a statement into a question. She wasn't sure,but there had to be a relation if you had been in a band with someone for over fen years. Erica laughs heartily with honor over kai. Erica definitely could appreciate a personality even if she didn't get along with the person. Kai was entertaining if anything. " good sex comes from douches?! That jerry guy must be amazing and hung like an equestrian porn star." She starts humming the mister ed theme eventually turning it into a porn groove version. "I don't think even drunk and in the frisky mood you would make a good lesbian. You seem to like the one eyed Willy far too much." She smiles and wiggles her finger,while squinting an eye at honor. Erica hugs honor tightly," me too. Thanks for not thinking my assholeNess was permanent." She gratefully says. It was good to be back on an even keel. The dynamics had changed slightly,but the friendship was still intact.
