Jealousy
In his testimony, Pistorius addressed the message that Reeva sent to him in late January -- the one saying she felt "picked on" and was "sometimes scared" of him.
Pistorius said: "My lady we were at an engagement party. It was a bad day in our relationship."
The athlete told the court he saw the model speaking to a man he didn't know and felt "insecure and jealous". Pistorius said he "wasn't kind" to her as he "should have been".
He said the couple had some disagreements but insisted they were in a loving relationship, and often exchanged messages of affection and compliments. He often referred to her as "my angel".
Pistorius told the court he was "besotted" with Ms Steenkamp and suggested he was "more into her" at times, than she was into him. He said the model and law graduate understood his needs as an athlete and was very supportive of him.
He also spoke of the first time he met Ms Steenkamp in November 2012. He denied he had cheated on former girlfriend, Samantha Taylor, saying the previous relationship had ended. At the start of the trial, the 20-year old student and part-time model claimed Pistorius had cheated on her with Ms Steenkamp.
Soon after that testimony from Pistorius, Ms Taylor posted, and then deleted, a tweet saying: "Last lies you get to tell. You better make it worth your while".
