Fate – Chapter 8
*****
"Come in"
Eric entered Tina’s office and closed the door behind him. She looked up from her work wide eyed at the man before her.
"What are you doing here?"
Eric immediately held his hands up in front of him, "I’m not here to cause any kind of trouble. I came to apologize"
Tina raised an eyebrow at him but didn’t dare lower her guard just yet, "Apologize?"
Eric dropped his hands and sighed, "Yeah . . . I know I was a real jerk to you. I’m really sorry for everything and I was hoping maybe you’d let me take you out to dinner tonight so that we can talk a little more and maybe even become friends"
After everything Eric had put her through, she didn’t trust him. At the same time, she had a gentle heart and did care for him in some way. She sighed.
"I have plans tonight but let me think about it and I’ll let you know about doing something another time"
Eric knew he had to play this just right. He had to get back on Tina’s good side and stay there. He would take anything he could get . . for now. He nodded and softly smiled.
"Its okay, I understand. I hope you’ll say yes"
Tina returned a small smile and put her head down to focus back on her work. A few seconds later she looked back to Eric who was still standing in her office.
"Is there something else you want to ask?"
Eric looked down at his feet, "Yeah . . . what can you tell me about Bette Porter"
He glanced up at Tina and saw her freeze, her expression was unreadable. She swallowed hard but finally sighed.
"We’re sort of dating"
Eric had to fight a smile. He thought he was going to have to really work to put Bette into the conversation but Tina pretty much put the brunette on a platter.
"I figured"
Tina gave him a confused look, "I don’t understand"
Eric sighed, "Look Tina, I saw the look in your eyes when I picked you up from the club that night. I also saw Bette leaving the office a few minutes before I got here. I met her a few years back when I was helping a friend of mine locate a gallery"

Well now, eric thte asshole has just set them up. Tina shouldn’t listen to Sarah or eric about Bette, they are just planting doubts in her mind. And the homeless man is eric. That is what he has become after his downfall. Thanks.
I`m with Dainty.Have faith Tina.Great story,thank you.
Oh boy, Tina’s starting to let the doubts creep in. She’ll have to just listen to her heart, and Bette will just have to not do anything to prove Sarah and Eric right. Thanks for the post! :)
Really enjoying this story
Can’t wait for the next post! Eric is a d***head!
OMFG!!!!!!!!! You should’ve gone with the Time Cop idea. Wow you’re really stacking the odds against Bette here. The problem with players is that you can never tell when they’re sincere, especially when they’re being all lovey dovey. I’m sure Bette is really into Tina bit her past is going to bite her in the arse. Thanks Liah, loved it.
Yikes. Tina’s doubts are starting to creep in. Trust your heart T.
Oh Dear! That’s all because of Eric right. Have faith Tina. Excellent story. Thank you.
WOW THIS IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER,GREAT CHAPTER,AND I THINK HER DOUBTS ARE LOGICS.I HOPE YOUCAN POST VERY SOON
i don’t believe eric… here he has another woman who “WANTS” him… god knows why… and he is still obsessed with tina… i have a feeling the artist that is giving bette a hard time is erics new girlfriend and she is crazy enough to do what ever he wants her to do… tina listen to your heart… love this story… pps
I also second Dainty Tina is too smart for that bullshit and whatever Eric has planned, I know Bette has the willpower to stop it
Oh damn hope Tina and Bette gonna be ok!
