Summary: Sookie catches Eric involved with another woman during her trip to Fangtasia. Will she have it in her heart to forgive him? A complete revision of Two to Go.
Author's Note: About a couple of months ago, I announced that I was planning on doing a rewriting for Two to Go, as it somewhat ended in a way that it wasn't met happily. So to make up for it, I am starting a newly revised version. Hopefully this one will turn out better than its' predecessor. I know this chapter is short, but I promise the next one will be much longer. Hope you guys enjoy it. All feedback is welcome! On to chapter one.
Chapter One
"Just great. That's just great. Why did this had to happen to me?" I muttered as I drove relentlessly through the darkened streets of Shreveport, absent mindedly passing through a twenty-four hour Mcdonald's and a Sonic, my stomach rumbling for a taste of a cheeseburger and fries. That would have to wait until my mission was completed. Even if that mission wasn't dire or of immediate emergency.
It was past midnight, and the sky was hollering with the threat of severe storms and rain that were beginning to pour down, beating on my window pane that sounded remotely like small pellets. And to think, I was having engine trouble, and yet I was stupid enough to make the trip just so I can see Eric. I should have stayed at home and ignored my impulses.
"Very smart of you Sookie. Honest to goodness really," I scowled sarcastically, making a left turn to the parking lot that connected to Fangtasia. It was a Friday night, and I noticed that there were only about four or five cars parked in the lot.
It was much too quiet, which was extremely unusual for the vampire bar. On the weekends, there were usually crowds waiting outside in order to get in. Tonight, that was a different story. Call me surprised.
I gingerly turned the steering wheel, careful not to hit the other cars as I parked directly next to the bar entrance, shutting off the engine.
A few fangbangers dressed in pleather outfits were strewn along the sidewalk, emerging in a conversation with an extremely tall vampire that looked like he once played in pro football.
I opened the door, shutting and locking the car behind me as I made my way towards the entrance, ignoring their curious gazes, my mind tingling with a slight signal of vampires. A voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Sookie, so nice of you to come. Eric's expecting you. He's in his office." Pam, Eric's child and second in command, nodded her head, her smile revealing fangs, her dirty blonde hair nestled and ruffled against a skin tight red sequin jumpsuit. I had to admit that she looked gorgeous. She allowed me in immediately.
"Thanks Pam. See you around." I nodded my chin towards her, trotting to enter the building. My eyes scanned the red and black surroundings. There was barely anyone there except for a couple of the waitresses and the bartender, who was occupied at the moment, cleaning and drying champagne flutes and mugs without a care.
I threw a smile towards Ginger, who only glanced at me as if I was crazy. "Hi Ginger, how's it goin' tonight?" I asked in a friendly matter.
She ignored me, her eyes widening in what looked to be fear and hesitation. I gave a small laugh as I made my way towards the back, towards the location where Eric's office was at.
Butterflies lingered in my stomach as I opened my purse to pop a breath mint into my mouth, my fingers pressing on my blonde tendrils, tucking a strand behind my ear. I took a deep breath, and smiled as genuinely as I could, just mere inches away from the brass doorknob.
I was too excited in anticipation to keep still, but I forced myself to take a step forward. Anxiety was also filling me, causing me to pause. I kept on going, ignoring my frazzled thoughts.
I knocked on the door, holding a breath in, trying to calm my heart. "Eric? Hello? It's me, Sookie. Are you in there?" Papers shuffling could be heard, but still, I didn't receive a response. "Eric, can you please open the door?" I insisted with a little impatience, attempting to turn on the knob, but I knew it was no use. It was bolted with a lock.
Pressing my ear against the door, I heard a strange voice coming from the inside. It was a woman's voice; one I didn't recognize. And she was moaning. I didn't have much strength when it comes to slamming doors, but it didn't hurt to try and see what was going on.
Eric didn't answer the second time I announced my presence, so I did what I had to do. I used my heels to kick against the door, which only caused scuffled marks against the metal. If that didn't work, I fished out a gift card, and inserted it between the opening, hearing a soft click that alerted me that the door was now ready to be open.
I turned the brass knob slowly, carefully, opening the door, my heart beating rapidly against my chest. "Eric?" I queried, eyes preening through the office. My eyes widened at the sight. Throughout the desk and carpeted floor, I noticed a pair of tailored gray pants, a pink lace bra, and other pieces of clothing strewn recklessly about.
But that wasn't all. Focusing on the desk, I saw Eric and another woman, barely clothed, in the middle of sex.
