Summary: Henry's POV after the scene in "Derailed". Henry's got two women on his mind, and Betty's summary of his feelings about the TFV between them is weighing on his mind.
I can't believe she just said that!
Betty that is..
I can't believe that she just basically dismissed the attraction we were feeling for each other so casually!
The attraction that i STILL feel for her.
All I had wanted to do was thank her for getting Charlie to go out of the house for one night, instead of sitting next to me in bed watching Vin Diesel or Orlando Bloom strutting around on the television screen. I was trying to do something nice for the woman I love.
Charlie...Yes, Charlie's the one I'm talking about now.
But I just can't get over the way Betty talked to me just now...Like I was just some random guy she knows at work. Not a friend, someone who's talked and laughed with her. Why would she say that?? She had to have felt something growing between us these past few months.
Betty, I mean.
I thought we were closer than she thinks. All the times we sat together and had lunch and just talked forever it seemed about everything and nothing. I thought there had really been a connection there.
Charlie?? No..NO!...Betty!
Damn it, Betty has a boyfriend. Walter. She has a boyfriend and I've accepted that. I'm really OK with it and now I've got someone too.
Charlie...I mean CHARLIE!!!
I have Charlie now and Betty's got Walter and everything is perfectly normal and happy now, right??
Don't I wish...
I know what I felt...feel for her. She's everything I want in a woman. She's smart, she's funny and she makes my heart start beating faster and my palms sweat every time I'm around her. When I'm with her, I'm not Henry the nerd; I'm not invisible to her. She sees me just as I am and accepts everything about me. I'm a happier, better man with her and she makes me want to strive to be a better human being because of her.
Now if I could just figure out which one of them I'm talking about.
The End
