Chapter 47 Why Is Y Chapter 47 Why Is Your Face So Red 1 lifted my eyes to glance at Eric , and sure enough , there were dark circles under his eyes .
Ugh , I was the worst , Cursing myself silently , I was about to say something when my phone suddenly rang It was a call from Natasha Looks like someones worried about you , Eric remarked casually as he stood up gracefully and left the room .
Despite the lingering awkwardness , I felt a small warmth in my heart at his considerate gesture .
I had misunderstood him in the past I picked up the call Youre amazing ! So , how did things go with Eric last night ? Sparks were flying , huh ? I remember back in college , Eric was way better looking and more talented than Jeremiah .
Now that youre divorcing that scumbag .
I fully support you getting together with Eric ! You cant let a bad guy ruin your shot at a second chance at love !!! Listening to Natashas excitement only made me feel more awkward .
Natasha , youve got it all wrong .
Nothing happened between Eric and me last night .
What ? Her tone instantly shot up .
You two were practically glued together at the bar last night , and then you dragged him home .
How could nothing have happened ? This is wild .
You were one step away , and he didnt go for it ? He really is a gentleman .
Im even more convinced now that you two should be together ! I sighed , pressing a hand to my forehead .
Were just friends .
Thats all .
She wasnt buying it .
Instead , her excitement ramped up further ..
Please .
Eric definitely likes you .
Why else would he go out of his way to help you over and over again ? Doesnt he have anything better to do ? Her words sent ripples through my heart Honestly , I had thought about it too .
Erics selfless help was undeniably odd .
But then I reminded myself that there was no way he could be serious with me since Id been with Jeremiah before .
Maybe he was just a good person I shoved the thought aside , refusing to dwell on it .
I hung up the phone .
Yet somehow , while brushing my teeth , Erics teasing gaze floated into my mind .
It threw my emotions into chaos all over again .
Regardless , I owed him an apology .
I went downstairs and found that he had already prepared breakfast .
Seeing him standing by the table , I was momentarily stunned .
The scene looked oddly … domestic like a happily married couples morning routine .
No , no , no .
I couldnt think that way ! We were just friends .
I warned myself mentally and pushed the thoughts away as I walked over .
Im really sorry about last night .
If you ever need my help in the future , 1 promise Ill be there for you .

I blurted it all out at once , only to feel even more awkward afterward .
What could someone like Eric possibly need from me ? Leaning casually against the table with his arms crossed , he looked at me with a spark of interest in his eyes .

W What are you talking about ? Im just apologizing ! How does that translate to being in love with you ? He stared at me silently for a few seconds , then suddenly grabbed my wrist and pressed me against the edge of the table .
