"You're nothing but a distraction for him" Pam snarled, stepping towards sookie
"Are you jealous that he traded up" sookie hissed.
They were face to face in front of Eric's desk, sookie knew she had no chance against Pam but didn't care anymore and Pam knew she couldn't hurt sookie without Eric's wrath falling on her, but she no longer cared and Eric was sitting at his desk with his head in his hands, if vampires could get headaches, he'd have one right now.
"please, I my preference runs in the opposite direction to him" Pam said her hands gripping into fists, they had been arguing like this for about 10 minutes, they had done this every night ever since Eric forced sookie to take a job at Fangtasia a month earlier, they fought about everything, whether it was work related or not.
"come on Pam are you telling me you aren't the slightest bit jealous that he gave his blood to someone for the first time since he made you and that it was me" sookie tested, Eric and sookie had been together for a few months when there was an explosion at her house and the farm house perished. Eric convinced sookie to move in with him, until it was fixed and lust took its toll many times, so they ended up living together as a couple, he asked her to quite her job while the threat was still active but then after he killed the fellow ship of the sun fanatics involved, he threatened Sam with death if he re-hired her, so now she was working as his assistant much to both sookie and pams dismay.
"No I'm happy it was you, you helped Eric with the queen after he disposed of Russel Eddington, offering your services." Pam foreigner sincerity
"Nice try Pam" sookie hissed "but it's not working this time"
"Bitch" Pam growled
"Whore" sookie retorted
"Fangbanger" Pam hissed
"vermin" sookie smirked, knowing that it was the name that would annoy her the most but before she could enjoy pams reaction, and before Pam could kill her, Eric slammed his hands down onto the desk, hard enough for it the creak and crack in protest.
"ENOUGH!" he yelled they both turned to him and at any other time he would have been amused at the fact that they were in identical poses with their hips trusted out in opposite direction and their arms folded over their chests glaring at each other, any other time he would have laughed but now their bickering was infuriating him, it was no longer entertainment just irritating. "if either of you makes a comment to the other, I will end both of you" he snarled, he knew he could never do it and so did they but they both turned their glares to him "I have had enough of this" he walked around the desk and in front of the door, turning to them "you two will stay in here until you work out your problems and make up" he snarled, he felt like he was dealing with two children, and he didn't like children.
"You can't keep me hear Eric" sookie warned stepping forward
"Can't I? Try me" Eric threatened, he went to close the door then re thought it "oh and Pam if you break down the door ill burn your shoe collection" he smirked at her venomous glare "have fun" and he left them there locking the door behind him, so sookie couldn't leave and went to enthral the vermin, leaving sookie and Pam standing at opposite sides of the room looking at each other with no clue what to do now
"He actually thinks this is going to work?" sookie asked sitting in the one of the chairs in front of Eric's desk, while Pam took the other
"It's his plan, he believes all his plans are flawless" Pam rolled her eyes
"Well this isn't going to work, we just don't get on cant he see that, oh wait I forgot, Eric doesn't see anything outside Eric's little world" sookie grimaced
"Which happens to be too full of Eric's ego to fit other people" Pam glared at the door. They sat in silenced both thinking about how to get out of there and both thinking about how to get revenge on Eric.
"I have an idea, it's a really bad, idea and would probably get us both killed by Eric in the end" sookie said hesitantly
"Well at least you have something, so let's hear it" Pam was more interested in the plan then she would openly admit, seeming she didn't have an idea.
"Well Eric wants us to get on doesn't he?" Pam nodded "then let's completely over do it and become the best of friends" sookie was getting more excited by the plan as she said it
"How will that help" Pam asked
"we will start to ignore Eric, we will blow him off to hang out and make it seem natural, ill neglect our sex life and you can pretend like I'm more of a priority than him" sookie laughed, starting to love the plan
"That's perfect and that will hurt his ego and his pride and he won't be able to blame anyone but himself" she laughed practically jumping, up with triumph and sookie followed
"two birds with one stone" sookie smirked and laughed, without thinking they hugged but quickly pulled away looking at each other, with uncertainty and an amount of disgust "okay now we have to get out of the room"
"I got an idea, come here" they sat on the couch next to each other and Pam sat right next to sookie so their shoulders were touching and she grabbed a magazine opening it to a random page. Just as she did Eric walked in and looked at them.
"That dress would look great on you sookie you have a slim waist and are well endowed, you would fill it out perfectly" Pam said pretending not to notice Eric standing their dumb founded at their new found closeness
"thanks but I think the shoes are more your thing, id kill myself walking on those" they laughed together, Pam nudged her a little and they (fake) laughed harder, then they 'noticed' Eric "hey Eric" sookie said turning back to the magazine
"Sookie Pam, I see you have made up, was it something I said" Eric smirked and sookie felt pride fill the bond, he was very pleased with himself
"no not really, we were just talking and I realised that Pam, is actually pretty fun and plenty interesting" sookie beamed at Pam who beamed back
"Yes sookie is a jewel Eric, I'm quite envious of you" Pam winked at sookie and sookie laughed
"well I'm glad you two have come to an understanding" Eric smirked, he was glad they were getting along, he was sure his unlife would fall apart if his child and mate couldn't be in the same room for long amounts of time
"yes actually, I would like to take sookie shopping tonight, I'm in the mood to see her in some new loubitons" Pam smiled "she has wonderful legs and yet doesn't wear heels that will flaunt them, I intend to amend this crime against nature" Pam said, she was laying it on thick and sookie had to fight a laugh, Eric raised an eye brow but nodded and handed Pam his credit card, He could feel Sookie's amusement but didn't say anything for fear of disrupting whatever was going on.
"On me" he smiled indulgently and watched as Pam grabbed his credit card in one hand and sookie's hand in the other and they pranced out the door.
When they got out to Pam's car sookie asked "Pam where are we going?"
"well Eric isn't just going to just pay figuratively, he's going to pay literally for this little stunt and for forcing us to work together" she waved the credit card in front of her face and smiled, sookie returned it, she figured she disserved some new shoes for the crap she puts up with from Eric so she was going along with it.
They laughed all the way towards Shreveport's late night shopping district.
