Rather happy!”  He said leaving that at bay.  “Yes and No?!?”  He glanced down at her a tad confused.  “Ahh ok.”<br/><br/>They were good friends but he wasn’t the only reason, but he was a reason.    “I see.”<br/><br/>“Sorry for my impoliteness.  I am Eric.  And your name again?”  He wanted to get it into his head.   Then he listened to her other question.<strong><em> ‘My so-called brother and woman were bangin’ again and seems I am the bottom part of their love triangle.  His footstool and her leftovers.  They didn’t respect me enough to just tell me they were together again so I am a sideline to their love affair.  And now the only other hot unattached woman that comes in wants him too!’</em></strong><br/><br/>“Seems Kaine would not want to treat me as a Bro…fri….person and talk to me like a man before.  Simply doing what Gods do to a society.  Take over!”  He did his best not to sound like a jealous prick.  But what could he say to the newcomer that didn’t sound like he was butt hurt that his would-be brother and Marley had simply left him out to dry.<br/><br/>In truth, it was his fault…he knew they had been together once upon a time and given Kaine's powers…Eric was aware the chances of Kaine coming back from the war was more than possible.  So why did he not expect them to come back and pick up where they left off.  If he didn’t then he was the stupid one.  Why was he so upset then?  She was never completely his…then why did it hurt so much knowing she was back with Kaine?  Cause she said in her own way…he wasn’t enough!!<br/><br/>“Its fine.  I am sure you want to see him.  So I can show you to a room, 2nd or third floor.  His garage is due North behind the house.  You will find him there.”<strong><em> ‘Unless he is with Marley yet again.’<br/></em></strong><br/>
