He finally needed to come up for air. He tore his mouth away, gasping, shuddering with pleasure over her...
But he looked down at her, panting up at him, hand on his chest. What was he doing?
"I'm sorry... I don't know where that came from-" He started, but he saw Ariel's eyes widen. At first Eric thought she was offended, but then he realized that she was looking past him. He looked over his shoulder.
Alana was there, plastic bag of CDs scattered all over the floor beside her. Her face was unreadable, as she turned abruptly to leave out the door she had come in from.
Eric jumped up. "Wait WAIT Alana! Don't... just...." He was about to run after her but realized Ariel was still on the floor; he quickly helped her to her feet and then dashed after Alana, calling her name.

Ariel took a breath, then Alana was staring at her and Ariel had never seen her more angry. It hit Ariel quickly that Alana probably liked Eric a lot because she looked devastated.
Ariel got off the floor with Eric's help and watched him run after Alana she wasn't sure what to do. It wasn't like her going with him would help him at all. Great she didn't know about Alana liking Eric and now she would probably hate her forever.

Eric caught up to Alana in the hallway, "Alana please let me explain," He grabbed her shoulder. Not sure what he might say, he was just kissing the sister Alana had the most issues with. If he told her he loved her now well he doubted it would go over well.
"Please Alana, why are you so upset?"

"Upset? I'm not UPSET." She spat, jaw tightened. "I just came to drop those off like you wanted and to return THESE." She tossed his keys into a nearby fishtank. "There... There's your damned CDs and your damned keys. Good day..."
She was about to leave but then turned on him sharply. "Though NOW that you mention it, RON-NAY, I think I'm just alittle bit put off by the fact that just a few days ago I was spilling my heart out to you about HER... and now your... your... UGH!!!!" She couldn't finish, she had to get OUT of there.

"Alana this isn't about you and her, this is about me and you. Why does it bother you that I asked your sister out?" He asked meeting her eyes.
"I am sorry if I hurt you but I thought I might try to get to know Ariel." Yeah that probably wouldn't go over well.
"Alana please understand I never met to hurt you."

That first question stumped her. Alana opened her mouth to answer it... but found it was harder to answer then she thought. "Because...you're... YOU'RE MY BOSS." She finally shot at him. "...And she's my little sister, YOU CREEP. I thought you were on my side!"
She huffed at his second remark. "Yeah, I can SEE that, Eric. I can see that you're trying to get to know her REAL WELL." She saw the faint red lipstick smeared at the corner of his lips and she wanted to vomit. "Don't worry: I've seen 'The Little Mermaid'... I know how this all ends." She added dryly.
And then his gentle plea. He was so good at those. Made the person he was pleaing with want to melt and rush into his arms, ready with forgiveness. But not this time. Not for Alana. "Well you did, Eric." She said, trying to keep the hurt emotion out of her voice. "I'm taking a personal day tomorrow. I need to revamp my resume." She shot Ariel in the background a glare. "You two REALLY deserve each other." She turned sharply and headed for the door.

Eric followed her into the hallway of his apartment complex.
"Alana please, for once can't you just listen to me? I am sorry, I care about you deeply but every time I ask you out you blow me off. What should I think Alana? I get the feeling you don't care about me and I've been alone far to long."
Eric took her by the shoulder and met her eyes.
"I never meant to hurt you, this wasn't about her being your sister I promise you that. I just...well didn't want to be alone."

"And now you're NOT. Congratulations." She said coldly. It was true... she only had herself to blame for that. She finally felt that she was getting to a point where she could really let him in, especially since that day in the old pool, when he heard her sing for the first time.

Eric closed his eyes in defeat, she wasn't going to let him explain and he was already tired.
"Well I guess your right," he sighed not sure where to go from here. Ariel was beautiful but she wasn't the one he wanted. He touched Alana's face.
"I'm sorry," Then he let her go, it killed him to do so but he had no choice.

She recoiled from his touch... only because it surged so much emotion through her, just that mere contact of his hand against her cheek. She hated that she could still feel for him even what she was so upset at him, blaming it on the human body that she now possessed. Perhaps THAT was why humans possessed so much heartache in their daily lives: their heart and bodies responded one way when their HEADS should be in control!
"Yeah, me too." She choked, before heading out the door and slamming it behind her.

Eric's hand lingered on the door once it was slammed shut. He sighed deeply against it. He was 'letting go'... and yet it felt like Alana had as much a hold of him as she ever did. He knew he couldn't let it end like this.
He made his way back to Ariel.
"I'm... SO SORRY... about all of this..." He said. He then looked at the floor where he and Ariel had ended up before Alana came in. "And THAT... I don't know why I did that... it was unfair to you. You're having a hard time with Hook and... I took advantage. I'm scum..." He leaned against the back of his couch, bringing his hands up to rub the exhaustion out of his face. "...I've really made a mess of things... and I just wanted to help... BOTH of you..."

Ariel was touched by his kindness, "Please don' worry about that, I'm sure we are both just hurt and looking for some comfort or something. Eric do you care for Alana?" Ariel asked him but the answer was pretty clear.
"Your not scum Eric your one of the greatest guys I've met here. Please don't think like that." Ariel owed it to her sister to help her, if they cared about each other then Ariel would help them realize it.
Eric was to good of a guy not to be happy.

He looked up at her point blank question. "...Does it matter? She doesn't feel the same." He furrowed his dark brows. "Or at least she won't ALLOW herself to feel the same... But since the first MOMENT she came into the station, with all her oddities and temperament... I've seen sides of her that no one else has seen. I've wanted her since then... and the thought of being without her... I would rather have her in my life and her not loving me, than not at all." He shook his head, smiling weakly. "This doesn't make any sense, does it?"

Ariel understood Eric better than anyone it was painful loving someone and not having them love you back. Sometimes you just needed to be close to them and that was enough. It was enough for her to be close to Killian.
"Trust me she has feelings for you you didn't see her face when she saw us together. It was written there and she will come around. I will talk to her, I better give her a day to calm down or she wont even let me speak." Ariel paused for a moment.
"It will be okay Eric, Alana has feelings for you that much is clear. Maybe I can help you two? Your to nice a guy to be alone Eric. This has been one of my better dates believe it or not." Ariel smiled.
She really liked Eric, they might even having something later on if they tried but Ariel wanted him to be with Alana they deserved each other. Besides the last thing she needed was another guy in her life.

Eric didn't know what to say. He didn't see Alana's initial reaction, which he was somewhat grateful for. He only saw the rage afterwards. "You think so? It's hard to tell anymore..."
"Honestly I feel the same way, Ariel: this HAS been the best date I've had in a long time... probably because it's been the ONLY date I've had in a long time." He chuckled. "And you're not upset? I invite you over here for a romantic time, and you find out I like your sister? Doesn't SOUND like a good time..." he rubbed the back of his neck as he laughed nervously.
