I know … what the hell am I thinking starting a new story when I already have TTOYL and LDIDMY to finish but I just couldn't get this out of my head …
SPOV
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep,
Shit! Where the hell is my phone? I asked myself as I hunted around the bedroom for it.
Aha. There you are.
On the floor, beside the bed. Lying in the pocket of my jeans, which were covered with Bills shirt from the night before.
"Hello?" I answered without looking at the caller id.
"Hey … Sookie … it's Pam" the voice said.
"Hey buddy" I smiled even though she couldn't see it. "I haven't seen you ever since … well … you know" I trailed off.
"Ever since graduation when you caught my bone headed brother in bed with Sophie Anne?" Pam answered.
"Yeah … ever since then …" I sighed, unwilling to travel any further down memory lane than I already had.
"Well listen, Sookie, no matter what happens between you and my clusterfuck of a brother, you are still one of my best friends, and I want you to come back home to Louisiana for my wedding. As my bridesmaid." Pam said, and I was rendered speechless.
"Pam …. I don't know … I don't want to make it awkward for you … with the atmosphere that would surely take place … you know between Eric and I … " I stuttered.
"Sookie, I don't give a flying fuck about what my brother thinks, and I know that you won't purposely make a scene … not that I wouldn't enjoy the drama but this is my day Sookie … you need to be there" Pam informed me.
"Then yes, I will come to your wedding. And, I will also be your bridesmaid" I said, and I found myself smiling despite my misgivings.
"Great … I will officially become Mrs. Pam Davis on the 4th September, so, when do you think you can make it down here?" Pam asked, and I was gobsmacked
"You are marrying Stan?" I asked.
"Yep … but that doesn't answer my question, Sookie" Pam said.
"Hmm … it depends when I can get a flight down to Shreveport, but I will check that out right away Pam and I'll give you a call …" I said.
"Alright, but I'd much rather stay on the line while you do it and catch up. I mean, it has been six years since I last spoke to you, Stackhouse." Pam said.
"Sure then … but how did you manage to find out that I had moved out of Louisiana? I never told you or Eric. I didn't tell anyone?" I asked as I booted up my laptop.
"I rang Jason. He told me." Pam said, honestly.
"And, I guess that also answers as to how you got my number?" I guessed.
"Yup" Pam said, and I clicked on Internet Explorer.
"So … how's things with you, Pam?" I asked, after a few moments of silence.
"You know he's miserable without you" Pam said instead of answering the question.
"Pam … do we really have to do this now?" I whined, knowing she was talking about Eric.
"Fine then" Pam snapped.
"Sookie … honey, I am back" I heard Bill say as he walked into the house.
"Hey" I told him, and leaned up to kiss him whilst simultaneously keeping the phone up at my ear.
"Who is the man?" Pam asked as Bill went upstairs to shower.
"My boyfriend … Bill" I said.
"Ahhh" Pam said. "Spill"
"Well he's cool … we have been together for about a year …" I told her, unwillingly, since I was sure that this conversation was bound to get back to Eric.
"Wait a second, I am not hearing the spark between you two … you say that you have been with him for about a year, and all you have to say is that he is cool. When you were with Eric, you two always had a spark. You told me that he was amazing, and incredible even though you'd only been together for about a month. Honey … this Bill is not right for you." Pam said.
"Pam, not to sound rude, but Eric was as you say amazing and incredible, but look what happened in the end, with Sophie Anne. Maybe I'm better off with cool as opposed to amazing, incredible and catching him in bed with that whore." I snapped.
"Fine, Sookie, it looks like you are just going to have to learn the hard way, doesn't it." Pam said, just as Bill came down the stairs, a suitcase in his hand.
"Sookie … I am going now" Bill said. He was going on a business trip to Washington, I think it was and he would be away for 2 months.
I know, it was a ridiculously long time for a business trip, but I trusted Bill completely, and he had no choice since he would lose his job if he didn't go.
"Yeah … see you soon," I said, leaning up to kiss him on the lips. "Also, I am leaving for Shreveport tomorrow, for a friend's wedding, and I won't be back here for at least another two months … "
"Sure … Sookeh …" Bill easily replied, not asking for any details which was extremely unusual for him, not that I could have heard him anyways if he had since Pam was cheering on the other end of the phone line.
"Bye" Bill called as he walked out the door, slaming it behind him.
"So … what's the flight details?" Pam asked.
"Yeah … the flight leaves California at 12 noon tomorrow, so I should arrive in Shreveport at about around 3 o'clock … do you think you could pick me up?" I asked, as I booked the one way ticket.
"Sure … I'll see you then, Sookie" Pam said
"Yeah … I'll see you tomorrow, Pam oh and … please don't bring Eric with you to the airport." I asked.
"Whatever" Pam said, hanging up.
So … what do you think … should I continue it? What do you think so far … ?
