"Thanks, I feel better to now that I ate." He pushed her keys towards her, "Can I buy you breakfast?" He asked her hoping she might join him.

"Ah you know, I grabbed an apple before I came..." She said. And then there was awkward silence. She was trying not to acknowledge the... what had happened in her bed... but it was there, glaringly bright in her memory. Alana wanted more of it...
... But it was complicated. Things were always complicated. "How would this work, Eric?" She suddenly asked, motioning to the two of them. "Because I can't seem to think of a way that DOESN'T involve sneaking behind my father's back." She said, leaning her head into her hand. "I... I feel for you what you feel for me...or at least I THINK I do. I'm kinda new at this..."
"But... it's complicated. The family. The mermaid thing. Dad's condition. Hell, just YESTERDAY he had another mental break down when he found his Trident in the storage room! ANYTHING that reminds him of Ariel's betrayal..."
She sighed, looking at how close there hands were on the table, but not touching. "I can't do that to him... I'm... his only rock right now. Maybe it won't always be this way, but it's going to take TIME." She looked down. "And... and I don't think it's fair to you to make you wait..."
The silence that followed was deafening.
"Damnit, Eric, would you PLEASE just say something... so I don't feel like a COMPLETE idiot..."

"Alana I don't know what to say, I care about you so much and you deserve to be happy. If that means we have to sneak around your father until he can accept me then I am willing to do that. However if it hurts you to much then I'm willing to wait." He met her eyes and held her hand.
"What ever you decide Alana I will agree to"

Alana's composed heart started to melt. She held his hand back firmly. Why was he so good? And to her? With all her mood swings and pushing him away...
"I want you... I want US to happen..." She said boldly, for once saying what she felt in her heart. "...But I don't want to disrespect my father in his fragile state. If you can... If you think you can wait for me.... I feel like it's selfish of me to ask it... but can you wait for me?"

Eric gave her a warm smile, "Yes of course I can wait. After all I been waiting all this time for you Alana." He held her hand.
"Once you figure it out, or maybe explain to your father. Maybe Ariel will come around and your family can fix things one day. It doesn't matter though because when it happens I'll be here. Though I would like something in return. Come back to work for me? Then at least I can see you everyday." Eric rubbed her hand with his thumb while he waited for an answer.

Alana almost smiled shyly. She didn't know if it was such a good idea, but her answer popped out before she could think it through.
"Yes." she said. She laughed. "Yes I will." Seeing him everyday seemed like it would be good enough. Enough until they could find some way to come out and tell Triton.

He beamed a smile at her, "Great! The place hasn't been the same without you." Eric held her hand, "So would you mind driving me back to my car? I should probably get home actually I still have your Cd's back at my place if you want to come with me? Then we could go pick up my car?"
Eric was still a bit freaked out about last night and he really didn't want her to leave. Though he wouldn't tell her that she's never let him live it down.

She nodded. "It's along the way... it makes sense." It wasn't REALLY along the way to the station... but she didn't mind spending a little extra time with him. Not now with this new... understanding... between them.
Eric finished and they headed back to the Jeep. Eric handed over the keys and she started up the car. "So it hasn't been the same without me, huh?" She fished; she knew she was the only heart and soul to that Station aside from Eric... but it would be nice to hear such from the prince. "Toast not meeting your expectations?"

Eric laughed, "You could say that more like he is not meeting any expectations at all. Please I need you back Toast can't do the simplest tasks he must have been the village idiot back in our world." Eric told her as she drove towards his condo.

Alana laughed. It was so not like Eric to insult any of his workers... but he did so to attempt a joke just to make her laugh. It as cute.
As she parked, she looked up from her wheel at his house, noticing that the door was wide open. Her smile faded. "Eric? Did you leave your condo UNLOCKED?" She couldn't believe that; he was METICULOUS when it came to locking things up... both the station and his home. "I hope nothing was stolen..."

"Me to," Eric admitted but he was pretty sure opening the door who was in his place. Eric went to his bed room to find his closet ransacked and all his nice clothes missing.
"I can't believe this! Who would steal my clothes?" He feared however he might know the answer.
