She just looks in the mirror and holds her palms under the cold water. This woman is so stunning, ofcourse Eric likes her, maybe he even loves her. She can never compete with such a smart and georgious woman… As she is standing there and thinking about this, somebody enters the bathroom……..

Chapter 2

Bette’s POV

Bette feels a tap on her shoulder, and when she turns she sees Eric smiling at her.. She doesn’t like him, he has always such a weird grin on his face, and he acts so dumb.. “Well maybe if I was straight I would think it is cute” she thinks. It’s not that she doesn’t like man, but she doesn’t like people who act so nervous all the time, they make her feel unconfortable. She doesn’t know how to react to it, well she doesn’t know how to react to a lot of feelings. That’s why her relationships don’t last longer than 2 months, but most of the time just one night. Like Alice always says: she’s more of the ‘***** them, and leave them’.

Bette never had much love in her life, her mother died when she was just a little girl, and she doesn’t remember her anymore, only her face from pictures. Her father isn’t much of a talker, and not much of a person who likes to share his feelings too.. In the beginning she tried to remember her mom by asking a lot of questions to him, but after getting no answers, she eventually gave up. Wanting him to be proud of her, she studied at Yale, and was very ambitious, this was the only thing she could do to get some kind of feeling out of him.

She just fake-smiles at Eric, because he is important to have as a client and says: “Hey Eric, thank you so much for comming!”. And as usual she gets a weird and stumbling reaction from him in return. She just keeps staring at him, because now there’s a silence between them, and she wonders why it was that he came to her, just as she opened her mouth to ask him what he is thinking about the gallery. He begins to speak again.
