Time frame: Years after "From Dead to Worse"
Disclaimer: I don't have any claim on any characters in the Sookie Universe.
Takes place after "Family". Possible spoilers for that story. If I were you, I'd just read it as a separate fic to avoid confusion.
A/N: Major writer's block. I had this whole thing in my head and had to post it. This is a silly one shot. I hope you enjoy it.
This story is totally dedicated to my bud, EricDreamer, who's been putting up with my cliffhangers very patiently.
"Yes!" I screamed jumping up and down as the last pin fell. I rolled another strike. Bill was smiling at me.
"Don't be so happy, buddy. We are one step closer to beating you guys!." I laughed as I looked over at my team.
***********************************************************************
We were bored. Okay, Pam and I were bored. Sookie wasn't exactly bored (hell, who could be bored with a smokin' vampire husband like Eric around?), but she wanted to do something out of the norm. Eric fed off (haha) of Sookie's excitement so of course he was in. Sam overheard our plans so Sookie invited him to join us. Being the dutiful boyfriend that he was, Bill offered to be my escort. I know he was more comfortable in a private setting, but it also pleased him that I had become fast friends with everyone. Well, he was pleased about my friendship with almost everyone. I think he suspects that Sam has a thing for me, but he'll get over it. He has before.
Of course none of them realize that this instant rapport I have with everyone is not really so instant. A part of me wanted to tell them of the things we had done and the tough times we had shared. But this was a different present now. It was different because of me…because I loved them.
Anyway, we girls decided that bowling would be fun. I was actually shocked that Pam would want to go bowling. I was sure the shoes alone would offend her sensibilities. She shocked me again by producing the nicest looking bowling shoes I had ever seen. No, really. They were white with a periwinkle blue pattern on it and she wore a matching cardigan with some cream colored pants. So we wouldn't feel left out, she bought us girls a pair too. The patterns were different colors to match our eyes. That Pam.
To make things more interesting we split up into teams. Originally it was going to be vamps against non-vamps. Sam was thrilled to be on a team with Sookie and me, Bill and Eric were not so thrilled. Okay, so we finally decided it would be the girls against the guys. Depending on which team won, the losers would have to suffer a bit of team humiliation- winner's choice. The men had to strip tease in public to a song of our choice if they lost. The girl's didn't have to strip but we were required to perform on stage at Fangtasia for them to a song of their choice.
The vision of these beautiful men stripping was enough to make my mouth water. Such lovely eye candy… We had better win.
"Dammit, Bill. Would you just roll the ball already? I don't wish to spend an eternity in this place." Eric grumbled. They were one point behind.
Bill tightened his jaw and rolled the ball. A strike. He smirked at me and sat down.
Sookie was up next. As soon as she bent over to release the ball we heard Eric moaning at her ass. Shoot. She got a 7-10 split. "Eric!" she scolded.
"What?" his face was a picture of innocence.
"You know what. Stop ogling my behind." She only got the 7 pin. Crap.
Eric's turn. He bends over to retrieve his ball. "My, my lover. Whose ogling behinds now?" he leered. Then in two steady strides he bent and practically shot the ball out of his hand, shattering all the pins." Another strike. Eric saunters back to his seat.
Pam got up. "Is anyone going to look at my ass now? I feel left out." she pouted then proceeded to throw a strike.
"I think you have a nice butt, Pam. Definitely drool worthy." I winked and blew her a kiss. She smiled and winked back. This solicited the intended response from the men. Bill's jaw dropped, Eric looked amused and Sam fell off his seat.
He still hadn't regained his composure by the time he got up. We looked at each other and smiled. We were going to play dirty.
I "accidentally" tripped right as Sam was coming from behind me. His hands caught me by the waist before I fell to the ground. I straightened up, my back against his chest. I slowly turned around to face him making sure my hair brushed across his face as I did so. His hands tightened slightly and I heard him breathe me in. 'Thank you Sam, you're a doll." I smiled as I gave him a quick peck on his cheek. Sam rolled a gutter ball and but recovered by getting the spare. Bill was seething but not because of Sam's performance, but because of mine. Poor baby.
My turn. As I went to pick up my ball a pale arm snaked from behind resting his hand on top of mine. "Ally…" Bill said disapprovingly. I took his hand with my free one and said, "What?" with all of the innocence I could muster. He was seething…again. I let out a breath,
"Bill, why don't you stop being such a wet blanket and let Ally have some fun?" Pam commented. I'm sure she was pleased at using that term.
"I don't think that Bill has any clue what you're talking about." added Sookie.
"So I'm both clueless and boring now?" Bill asked with an exasperated look on his face.
Silence.
Then suddenly, I burst out laughing. Everyone else chuckled. Bill still looked exasperated.
"Bill, you are way too much fun to be boring." I told him as I gave him a hug. "Besides, we girls are playing to win." I whispered in his ear.
He stared at me for a moment then blinked. Then he turned his body to allow me pass.
I approached the line and as I swung my ball back, it slipped out of my fingers during the descent causing my ball to plop onto my lane and spin awkwardly into the gutter. What the…
I turned to see Bill, Eric and Sam giving each high fives. Bill handed Eric some sort of tube and knowing that I was looking, gave me a wink.
The bugger, greased my ball! He must have done it during the exchange.
When they finally sat down, all three men were grinning at us.
Apparently, they were playing to win also.
