As I was going through my garden and picking all the weeds, reality hit me. I have been lying to myself all along. I am in love with him. It's one of those things that just eat away at you and i finally just realized what it was. I mean who do I run to or think about when I'm in trouble? Not Bill, Quinn, Aleece, Sam (well sometimes), or any other potential lover.

Eric.

When I was deep into my thought, I heard my gravel crunch under heavy tires. Amelia was coming home from work I noticed when i turned.

"What's wrong Sookie? Did I interrupted something? Need some help?"

"No, that's fine. I am finished anyways. Hey Amelia, what do you do when something is bothering you and you just have to get it off of your chest?"

"Oh, well I usually try to confront it somehow. Why? Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, everything is fine. I think I have to make a trip up to Shreveport though."

She looked at me quizzically and then soon caught on with a wink. She passed me and continued walking up the stairs. Before I could change my mind, I walked around back and got on my car to head out of the drive way. About ten minutes had went by, and I started to realize I needed a shower. I was about to turn around before my newly added cell phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"Sookie my love, I heard you were on you were headed up this way. Any chance you were coming to see me?" Amelia with her big mouth. I am assuming someone called for me, someone from Fangtasia and she told them I was on my way there.

"Actually yes Eric, I have to talk to you about something."

"Well I took the night off. Stop by my house, or do you remeber how to get there?"

"I remember. I'll be there in about ten minutes."

"See you then." Click. Why didn't I think about taking a shower. This is great. I'm going to make an idiot of myself. Oh well, I'm sure he will just love this. Wait, what if he just laughs at me? Sookie girl, what are you thinking?

By this time I have pulled into his drive way. Inhale, exhale. I did this about five long times before I had reached the front door. Knock knock. I stood there for a few seconds and then the most beautiful creature opened the door and my heart stopped.

"Hello Sookie." This was said in the sexy viking accent.

"Hello Eric." Gulp.

"Did you need something?"

"Umm actually, kinda," with out thinking "Eric, I love you."
