erica keeps rubbing her head." you know i like some kitty...cats." and giggles." if it matters,i dont think any less of you."

erica rubs nichole's cheek,"oh,he is surely handsome enough,and quite charming when you get to know him. but at this point,it'd make things weird between he and i. though i think i flirt with him WAY too much." she kisses the top of nichole's head. "nah,i think the temple of erica can last a few more days until i get out of here."

"now you're being sweet. being erica doesnt count for much outside these walls,trust me" she says with a small smile. "care for a drink?"

erica hops up and runs to the kitchen in hopes of finding the perfect pick me up for her friend.instead she found a single bottle of skol vodka. she makes a yuk face and pours it in a grey goose bottle,then smiles at her genius.

"all they had was this bottle of grey goose.no oj,fruit punch or anything." she sits down and offers the bottle to nichole.

erica yells over to serenity," the hot water should kill anything...or make it breed.i'm not sure which. the pool is fine though. if you dont mind lemons floating in it."

Serenity turned to Erica, who was talking to her.

"Lemons? What were you guys doing with lemons in the pool?"

Serenity was talking to Erica.

"Oh.... Kay... A thousand more lemons. Right."

She turned to Nichole and waved back.

"trust me.under the right circumstances,it all makes sense. i'll need about a ton of sugar to cover the chlorine taste." erica yells over to serenity.


"here,have some more." she hands nichole the bottle."glasses are for posers.how big a band aid do you need?"

erica smiles as she drinks" ok,you take the bottle,i still got half a blunt left." she lights it up. " you sure you dont want a hit? " erica inhales and holds it.

erica watches her leave and sighs deeply.her final bit of weed isnt doing much for her mood.if anything,being on big brother is quickly teaching her that she cant solve every problem.this troubles erica greatly.she goes over and over the recent conversation with nichole in her head. could she have handled it better? said some magic dr phil shit and made it all better? a smaller,more vicious thought came to mind...what if nichole didnt really like her sexually,and was only using her until something better came along? it was an ugly thought,but one that quickly grew in erica's mind. erica looked back at the house and shook her head. no. that was pretty close to what she had accused andros of today,and he definitely proved to be a great friend. she finishes her blunt and walks towards the house. in the bedroom,she looks at her own empty bed and nichole sleeping in her's. seeing nichole sleeping pushed all thoughts of being used right of her head. nichole looked so lonely in her bed.erica stepped out of her trousers and hopped into bed with nichole.she put her arms around nichole's waist and kissed the back of her neck. meh,tomorrow was a new day.
