I let my mind and eyes search through the human and vamp crowds populating Fangtasia. I looked over towards the north corner and to my displeasure I saw my brother hitting on some fang-banger. She looked eerily like Crystal Norris, the lying slut who'd cheated on my brother, out of respect for the dead I would, of course, never say this to my brother but I couldn't help thinking that maybe he wanted to replace her. My brother doesn't often make a commitment but when he does he is usually good at sticking to them. So when he found out Crystal was cheating on him it threw his world upside down. I suppose he finally met his match in Crystal. But now he could move on and rise above her he chose not to which confused me no end. The poor girl he was with didn't quite know what to make of him. She 'only did vampires' but she thought that my brother was as hot as a bucket of spicy ribs from Charlie Chims. But I wasn't here to play the chaperone for my brother I was here to find my oh-so gorgeous semi-husband. Eric was the owner of fangtasia so of course I should find him here. Secondly there was always the bond we shared. I could try and find him through that but to be honest that felt a bit too personal seeing as I still harboured a miniature grudge since he made me pledge to him without asking me first. Now don't get me wrong I would love the fact that Eric the sexiest vampire-Viking on this earth wanted to protect me but, call me traditional, I think it's always best if both parties consent before they get 'married'.
Pam, the cold-hearted vamp, who'd strangely taken a liking to me waved at me when she saw me sitting on my own in a booth. She sauntered over to me making all the males in the club stop and stare, it was like something out of a movie. She was wearing a blood red dress that stuck to her impeccable figure like glue. It was slit up the thigh revealing just the edge of some risky black lacy pants. She was obviously waiting for a special meal tonight. I smiled as convincingly as possible as Eric's child took a seat beside me I knew she was pleased that she'd found me here evidently looking for Eric.
"Sookie, as always it's lovely to see you." She smirked. " I wonder, are you looking for a certain vampire that we both hold close to our hearts.' Sarcasm much Pam ?
" Humph" I grunted, " Yes I suppose I am, I don't suppose you could tell me where he is could you?" I shot an equally sarcastic grin at her smarmy face. She looked stunning and I dressed in one of my value buys from Tara's Togs looked less than appealing. But I suppose it was suitable get-up for a 'wife' visiting her 'husbands' business.
" Well my darling I think he is in his office, but be warned he is in the middle of a meal so knock first, won't you." Pam said, she certainly was acting strange today. She glided away and I watched her meet up with a man, which probably explained her mood; Pam rarely uses men, I mentally checked him out but to no avail. His mind was a complete brick wall. He wasn't vamp and definelty not shifter, I received a red-ish warm glow from them. Must be something else I made up my mind to question Eric about him later. At that moment a girl who could only be described as cheap tried and failed to walk sexily out of the door to Eric's office. She was wearing black five inch heels a black bra, thong and nothing else. Must be one of those whore's you can by if you're a vamp with money. I gave her a dirty look and shot over to the door to my 'husband's' office.
" Evening darling," Pam's sarcasm had obviously rubbed off on me. " I see you couldn't wait for me to arrive then?" I smiled temptingly. My vampire looked up from his paperwork and a kind of euphoria swept across his beautiful face.
" My Lover, how long you have kept me waiting." he was up like a lightning bolt and strode across the room like a lottery winner collecting his prize. I laughed as he swung me round in his arms. What was with me today, I was acting like an infatuated teenager. I found his mouth with my lips and kissed him like I would never be able to again. I pulled back and did a quick check of the room. Not even a sofa, only the desk. Well I guess a certain stunning vampire wasn't getting lucky tonight. He could feel the resistance in my embrace and tried with all his might to persuade my body otherwise but to no avail. I knew what I wanted.
" So, my lover, you come to Fangtasia and toy with my emotions and then don't let me devour you, what is on your mind." We'd relocated to a booth in the busy club. Whilst in his own bar Eric could hardly flout the rules. We wouldn't want to set a bad example, would we ?
" Well, Eric I've been thinking about this pledge thing and it means a lot to your people but it means next to nothing to mine. So I think that seeing as I haven't, yet, taken you to court for not notifying me of my own pledge to you, I think it's only fair that I get my share of the fun." Eric's face was clouded by confusion. But in one of those rare moments of insight when I picked up a signal from a vampire's mind I heard Eric think, Is she asking what I think she's asking? And to my own amazement, I was, I was asking him to marry me.
" Wait, lover, let me do this my way." He said in a sexy, seductive tone.
He glided off to the DJ booth and said something in a whisper to the vamp manning the discs. Suddenly the music cut off and I had a feeling I knew what was going to happen next.
" Thank-you ladies and gentlemen," Eric's irresistible voice boomed over the speakers. " I require your attention for only a few moments, as I am sure most of you know I am Eric Northman, your most gracious host for tonight." I sighed, everything was a chance for publicity with Eric. " I am in love, yes love, with a most beautiful, charming, seductive and very talented human woman, and tonight in front of you, my guests I would like to ask her something." He looked directly at me and motioned for me to come out of my booth and onto the middle of the dance floor. I obliged, apparently under his spell.
" Sookie, my lover, tonight in front of all these people I pledge my love to you." He stepped off the platform and walked over to me, the people crowding us parting as if he were Moses. " And so my lover, I ask you, will you marry me?" He sank to one knee and somehow produced a ring from his back pocket. I stared at him and for a moment I didn't know what to say. " Yes." I said, simple and straightforward. He slid the ring onto my finger and picked me up in his arms. Oh heck, maybe this Viking would get lucky tonight…
