Erika was surprised about Keith's reaction. In fact, she had to check whether she had really called the right number. But it was indeed him, just very shocked and very lost. She couldn't believe it was possible for someone to lose their memory like that in the blink of an eye. "You are Keith Steinmoor. I'm Erika, your friend from St Elois. She is the woman you're in love with and Perez is your only way of getting her." She spoke with a trembling voice, frightened that something would happen to him while he was in such a state of mind. "Where are you Keith? You don't sound very good. Are you hurt?"<br/><br/>Alexandria lifted her chin when Gabe told her why people needed love. "If so, then why are so many people unhappy in their relationships?" She asked, fighting back. "I don't want to do something that will inevitably bring me misery. I think we are too passionate to be together."<br/><br/>Gabe arched a brow. "Too passionate? That's a first."<br/><br/>"Every moment is exciting. My heart is always beating fast and I feel butterflies in my stomach. It's like a romance novel, except one day it'll all end and become like everything else. We'll get used to it. We'll no longer be living in this hormone filled cloud of perfect happiness." She spoke as they pulled over at the mall.<br/><br/>"Haha!" Gabe laughed and shook his head. "If every day was like the first day your body would wear out from all the bubbling hormones and excitement you feel. The human body can't cope with such sentiments every single day. It's obvious why we need relationships to cool down eventually, because our bodies can't handle it."<br/><br/>"How boring!" She exclaimed, causing him to laugh again. "If every day isn't like the first then it's not worth it. You said you wanted me to find someone truly special..."<br/><br/>"Yes, but love doesn't end the day it begins to feel comfortable, Alexandria." Perez spoke. "Ah, women... so demanding towards us men. We can't possibly be the prince of your dreams every single day. Nobody will promise you that. You'd have to be with a different person every two weeks to feel the rush of romance again and again. Isn't one man enough?"<br/><br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">No man</span>is enough if they can't make me feel the way I felt on my first day." Alexandria insisted. "One day they'll get bored of me anyway. Keith will too. What does he know about women or beauty? Has he met every woman in the world to know I'm the most gorgeous of them all? It really pisses me off..."<br/><br/>Perez smiled. "You take everything so literally, songbird. You can't just relax and enjoy, everything needs to be perfect and guaranteed for you. I fear for this Keith Steinmoor... you really are not an easy girl to be with. But if he keeps trying like that, then I say he is the right man for you and you need to put away your arrogance and demanding behavior." Gabriel stepped out of the car with Alex. "Don't break a good man, Alexandria. You'll regret it more than you'll ever regret any relatioship that might fail."<br/><br/>Alexandria sneered and took his arm. "Whatever. The subject tires me. Buy me some clothes already."<br/><br/>"Yeah, yeah, let's go look for a little red dress." Gabe sighed with a smile. "You won't get away from this subject though, I can guarantee you that we will continue on this with some Italian food."<br/><br/>"Fine!" She approved as they headed for the shops.
