Remember when Britney Spears allegedly found "saucy texts" to other women on pap papa Adnan Ghalib's iPhone and chucked it in the pool? (That and 9/11: never forget.) The recipient of the lensman's texts, 21-year-old Wyoming native Amanda Pagel, is talking to In Touch Weekly about the man she says she thought was only friends with Spears:

He's really gentle and sweet with a great sense of humor. We'd sit and talk until 4 a.m. about family, friends, life—everything. I felt like I'd known him all my life. He's a fantastic kisser, too. He used to compliment me and tell me how sexy I was. I fell for him because I was feeling vulnerable after my breakup, like Britney, and he made me feel amazing about myself. He used to call me "Bebe" but I found out recently that's his pet name for Britney, too, which hurts.

It totally does.

Because it's come to this, here's what Pagel says Adnan said about Britney:

He swore they were just good friends. He promised they weren't having sex and he kept reminding me what a hard time Britney had been through. "We're close and I'm supporting her through difficult times," he told me. We never went out in public—I thought he was protecting Britney's feelings. He kept saying, "As soon as she's back on her own feet, we can go public." I suspected he might be lying, but I wanted to believe him.

We all did, honey. We all did.
