Celebrity Mag - The Viking's Romantic Getaway!
Sookie doesn't normally read tabloid trash, but her attention is captured by the headline and the cover image. It depicts a gorgeous sundrenched couple relaxing on a tropical beach. The man is reclined on a chaise long, reading a script and sipping a beer. The woman, clad in a revealing string bikini, is kneeling next to chair with a margarita in her hand.
While waiting for the cashier to ring through the purchases of the woman in front of her, Sookie flips through the pages of the publication. Inside, the article features several more pictures of the couple.
One shows the woman straddling the man and kissing him, the next shows his arms wrapped around her, another shows the man being lead through the patio doors by the woman, the beer bottle still in his hand. The last two photographs show the woman's bikini top flying past the open window, then the man's swim trunks.
Sookie hadn't believed the rumours when she'd first heard them. Truthfully, she was a little disappointed to think one of her favourite actors was being sucked into the Hollywood machine. Not that she could begrudge him. Yvetta Alam was gorgeous, however, she was better known for her off-camera antics than her acting talents. Notorious for her high profile relationships with heartthrobs, Yvetta was no stranger to the supermarket headlines. But her partner in crime on this particular occasion, Eric Northman, was far less paparazzi friendly.
"They're getting super close," says a source close to the couple. "He's really serious about her."
Sookie sneered as she read the article. Maybe it was just a fling? She rolled her eyes at herself. It's not like she was ever going to meet the guy!
Well folks - what do you think?
A/N: Any non-original characters belong to Charlaine Harris, Alan Ball, HBO et al. I'm just playing with them for fun and not for profit.
Some situations in this story are inspired by real life celebrity gossip. Names and identifying details have been changed to protect the guilty.
This is all for fun folks - try not to take anything too seriously. Apologies to Natasha Alam (who plays Yvetta) for stealing her last name, you're beautiful and I mean no insult against you.
