KATE
The name Eric flashes across the screen. I take a deep breath, then another.
When it comes to Eric, patience is a virtue.
“What?”
The word stumbles out of my mouth too quickly, my mood suppressed
and not caring for the idle chit-chat Eric is known for partaking in.
“Is that all I get?” he complains in his high-pitched tone. “You’re on
babysitting duty this week. I can’t take that hostility on top of everything
else.”
Eric had recently broken up with Tristan over his own insecurities.
Tristan went to Dubai to film a movie, and Eric was adamant Tristan would
cheat on him. Despite Charlie and me trying to convince him he was in his
own head, Eric acted on impulse and broke it off the day before Tristan left.
It’s been precisely thirty days since that happened, and Eric has been
nothing but a sad and pathetic excuse of a human being. There’s miserable,
and then there’s Eric Kennedy.
Between Charlie and myself, we are babysitting him emotionally. This
week is my turn, and I already miss the peace from his over-dramatic
retelling of how much comfort-eating he’s been doing and how the scales
refuse to lie to him.
“I’m sorry,” I apologize, closing my eyes momentarily to get a grip on
myself. “I’ve got a lot on my mind.”
“You and me both. What’s up your puss, or shall I ask who is up your
puss?”
“Nothing,” I respond, flatly. “I mean no one. Can I call you back? I’m
just about to leave the office. It’s been a hell of a day.”
It is a lie but a much-needed one. I need to clear my head, and Eric is the
last person I want to speak to.
“Fine, reject me, just like everyone else. ‘I’m just a poor boy, nobody
loves me’…” he cries.
I groan into the speaker. Eric breaking out into song brings out the worst
in him. His desperate need for my attention only accelerates my need to
head home to a bottle of much-needed wine.
“Listen, drama queen. I’ll call you back when I’m liquored up and
immune to your melodramatic mood.”
“Thanks, doll. Speak soon.”
The line goes dead, the silence like pure bliss.
It’s late, just after seven. The office is practically deserted with only the
sounds of the cleaners hovering with their equipment while they work in
silence. It’s not unusual for me to stay back, seeking solace in work rather
than go home to an empty apartment.
The sound of my phone pings, alerting me to a text message. With
frustration, I curse openly at Eric and his desperation during his so-called
emotional breakdown only to see another name on the screen.
