SPOV

It had been two weeks since we'd returned, Eric and I were switching between houses, always together. I had never been happier. Eric's arm was locked around my waist his other arm tucked under his head. I glanced at the clock on his headboard. 9a.m.

I had to go to work. I kissed him softly and slipped from his grip. Not an easy task since even in his sleep he tightened his grip on me. I went into the bathroom, showered, dressed and did my hair. By the time I was done it was 9:30. I gave Eric another kiss, grabbed my purse, keys, and went out to the car.

It took a little under 20 minutes for me to arrive at Merlottes. Sam was in his office when I went in to put my purse away, "Hey."

"Hey Sook." He greeted, then went back to his bills. I grabbed my pad, and tied on my apron as I exited the office. I stuck my pad in the pocket of my apron, grabbed a rag and helped wipe down the bar and tables, wasting time until Sam opened the doors. At 5 to 10 he came out and unlocked the doors. 2 minutes later the regulars filed in and my day began. I took orders, brought food and made small conversations until 5, when I got my things, said my goodbyes and drove home.

The sun was just setting as I walked in, and I was greeted by a groggy, naked, blonde Viking scooping me into his arms and carrying me back to bed, somehow removing my clothes in the process.

"How was your day?" he mumbled as he nipped playfully at my neck, holding me against him.

"It was okay. I work night shift tomorrow. So I guess we'll meet at my house. How long have you been up?"

"An hour or so." He shrugged, "are you ready for dinner?"

"I was just going to make a sandwich."

"Well now I'm taking you out." He replied. I let this one slip, he hasn't taken me out since the day after we got back so I supposed this would be okay.

"Go get dressed dear; I've hung something on the door for you."

He let me go and I went into the bathroom, hanging on the back of the door was a strapless red dress that had a bow around the waist and ruffled a bit at the bottom, I slipped into it, re-did my hair and applied makeup before coming out.

Eric was on the phone when I came out, speaking in another language that I couldn't identify.

"Tá cuid amháin tar éis di?" someone else spoke on the phone, he growled and then hung up, "Are you ready?"

"What happened?"

"Nothing you need to be worried about lover." He replied, "Come on lets go get dinner." He took my hand and we walked out to his car.

The whole trip I stared at my feet or the dash board, I learned it was best to look anywhere but outside the car. He drove to fast for me to look out without being sick.

We pulled up outside a tiny restaurant called "Twin". Eric got out, opened my door for me, handed the valet the keys, and lead me up to the door. A girl that looked to be about 16 opened the door, she had long purple hair, jade green eyes, stood about my height with great posture and a wide smile.

"Good evening, glad you two could make it, please come in." as we walked by I caught her winking at Eric, but oddly I didn't have the urge to kick her like I had with the other few females that had. She seemed oddly familiar, "Table for two? Both or table?"

"Booth please." Eric replied, she nodded, made a follow me gesture and glided to the left section of the restaurant to a booth in the back, she set two menus down.

"Your waitress will be with you momentarily." As she walked off I noticed that she wasn't wearing a uniform, instead she was in a blue dress about knee length with black lace covering it, where as the uniform was a black or white shirt and either black or white slacks depending on who you looked at.

"Welcome to Twin, I'm Analize and I'll be your server for the evening, can I get you anything to drink?"

"BluBlood for me." Eric replied, leaving me puzzled, "A neg."

"Yes sir, and for you ma'am?"

"A water please." I hadn't been feeling to well earlier I figured I'd play it safe.

"I'll be right back with your drinks." She replied and sauntered off. I took the time to glance down at my menu, steak sounded really good, and potatoes. Mm.

"Are you ready to order?" Analize directed the question to me.

"Yes, the steak medium rare."

"Potatoes or fries?"

"Potatoes."

"what kind of salad?"

"House."

"I'll be back with your food." I finally took the time to look at her, that's when it clicked. I looked around for the woman who had shown us to our table.

"Raven." Her head snapped up, she glanced toward me, waved and turned back to Clarice, "they live here?"

"Yes. They just moved in." Eric replied like it was no big deal.

"Who was that on the phone?"

"A friend of mine."

"What language were you speaking?"

"Irish. Anyways, its not important now, I promise I'll tell you when we get home, okay?" I sighed, shook my head and dropped it.
