Well look who it is! Yes I have a new story, this is my first Eric/Sookie story so be kind with me. Some of the material in here is based on real things only molded into my creativity, gotta have fun with real life right? Also the characters are not mine; they belong to /HBO. Enjoy!
Hollywood is a shitty town, with all the plastic surgery and shitty personalities the only normal ones are the crazies in the street. I should know I have been working and living here most of my life. I was born Susannah Ophelia Stackhouse on July 1st and yes my name spells out SOS, my mom was told if your child's name spells out something they will become successful plus Ophelia was my Gran's middle name. I grew up in a small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana where I never fitted in. I had only one brother but he never played with me, he was too busy playing sports and whatnot so I spend most of my time by myself or around adults. For some odd reason I reacted when they laughed at me, I enjoyed the attention. I sang and danced around, anything to let them laugh and or clap at me, so it wouldn't be a shock that I was destined to be in the entertainment business. When I was five, they were having a casting call for a kid's movie, my mom took me and they fell in love with me. They liked my bouncy blond hair and big blue eyes and they cast me for the lead girl part. It was fun, I did it because I was gonna be in a movie!
After that experience, I went right back to be just a dot in a small town, but I was already bitten by the acting bug. I was part of every small school play from kindergarten to middle school, dragging my mom to go with me to a casting call whenever there was one near by. When I was 11, I was in the local play called "Lessons on Being a Kid", there was a woman in the audience named Ms. Arlene Fowler. She would later become my agent. Ms. Fowler had me auditioning for a movie that would put me on the map; it was about a bunch of kids with magical powers called "Super Kids" corny yes, but it gave me money! It also where I met William Compton for the first time. William was a few months older then me, British and a complete dork. That's what I liked about him; we kept doing sequels for the movie during our teenage years. During that time both Bill and I lost our virginities with other and after five seconds I decided maybe dating him was not a good idea. We both broke up after the forth movie sequel. Also during that time I was began to grow tired of doing the same thing over and over. I wanted to break out, do more adult roles but they never allowed me to do side projects. By the time I was sixteen, I got out of my "super kids" contract. That didn't settle with Ms. Fowler very well, so I had to let her go also.
When you are a former child star what do you do? Go to Independent films of course. I changed my first name to my nickname "Sookie", got some tattoos, even colored my hair dark for a period of time. I wanted to stir away from Super Kids as much as humanly possible and it turned out to be a good thing. I became part of Independent film royalty and was given big awards for it; I even got a part as a female serial killer on a Showtime show! I was finally taken seriously as an adult and not looked on as the typical former child star. At eighteen I colored my hair back to blond, rented a house with a friend of mine and just enjoyed my semi simple life in LA. I dated a few times sure but none of them seemed to spark, clicked with me as you can say. That until he came along.
My roommate Pam and I went to a premiere one night just for the fun of it; most of it was pretty decent. It was the party after that was pretty damn fun. While we were having a good time drinking Pam leaned to me.
"There's a tall dude looking at you pretty hard!"
"There are a lot of tall dudes here Pam," I reasoned but looked around to be curious.
"No! The guy over there!" She argued turning me to look who I thought was the hottest guy I ever saw. First thing I noticed was he was tall, like giant tall. He had dirty blond, mop top hair and scruff on his face. It was sort of like someone picked any Joe on the street, threw a suit on him and said "Have a ball!" What really drew me were his eyes, they were the most amazing blue eyes I have ever saw. I must have been gawking because he smirked at me and tilted his drink at me. I quickly snapped out of it, turning away from him. I knew for sure I was blushing bad because my ears felt on fire and Pam just snickered at me.
This was not the last incident however; I bumped into him again at an Independent award show the next year. His hair was slicked back then but the same old scruff and intense eyes, what was worse was we sat in the same table…right next to each other. I kept my distance sure but that seemed to not fly with him.
"Sookie Stackhouse right?" Came out the sexiest, smooth as velvet and honey yet growly at the same time voice out of those perfect lips. I nerviously downed my drink nodding; my voice didn't want to work right now.
"I'm Eric Northman, it's nice to finally talk to you, I saw you at that premier last year," he smiled those perfect teeth at me and took my hand into those large paws of his, shaking my hand.
"Yeah, nice to meet you at last," I finally found my voice but I knew it came out shy and nervous…I hate that. He just kept smiling at me and lingered letting my hand go.
"So are you nominated for anything?" he asked.
"Presenter," I replied gaining some confidence. "You?"
"Oh just because, I love independent films," he told me, sparking my interest. We talked most of the night, having a big time. We even got our picture taken together by a photographer. He seemed like a real nice guy, which is rare because obvious good looking guys in this town are either gay or assholes. I even had to admit, I wish he was an asshole so I would stop acting like a tween for him! I haven't heard from him since, which I consider a blessing. I had to get a clear head for a new role I got for a new TV show. A show about vampires in a small town, so my field.
I walked in on the set, dressed in tight black shorts and a white tee; I had the role of a fairy waitress. A bad ass fairy waitress thank you. The scene was me and my vampire boyfriend played by some guy named Andre, I don't know, going to a vampire bar to meet his boss. I ignored the Andre dudes slimy looks at me before the scene started, when the "vampire boss" came to the scene both my heart and my jaw dropped.
Eric Northman was going to be in the TV show too. Fuck. Me.
Comments are love! And yes I will be continuing my other stories; I just need inspiration for them again.
