Redneck Woman
I still couldn't believe Pam wanted to have a country night at Fangtasia. Usually Eric would veto any of her ideas that didn't match with their scary vampire personas; but when he saw my excitement over the plan he gave in.
"Sookie!" Sam called from the bar. "Come back to reality"
I had just been lost in my mind in the middle of the lunch rush at Merlotte's. That was just how excited I was for the event tonight.
"Sookie your shift is over," Sam told her touching her arm to get her attention. "Holly arrived five minutes ago; you can leave now."
"Sam you're the greatest friend slash boss. I apologize for zoning out on you" I started to go on but Sam stopped me.
"Sook go get ready for Fangtasia. I know you want to look good for him."
I just gave him and hug and threw a smile over my shoulder on the way out yelling you're the best.
"Go!"
I hurried out the back door of the bar. After working here for five years now this was a familiar routine for me. It has only been recently that I've had someone to come home to. Eric is my light, my heart, and together we make a complete whole. I don't care anymore that he is a vampire. That is just who he is and I wouldn't change him for anything. Even before him I had resigned myself to a life without marriage and babies. Yes, we've had our ups and downs but what relationship hasn't. I send a giant burst of love to him and I hope that he can feel me through his day rest. As I turn onto my driveway I realize that I drove home on auto pilot. Even when he's asleep Eric still captures my thoughts. Eric has gotten me into the habit of checking the area for mental signatures before I get out of my car. After my scan I get out of the car not finding any danger.
