AN: Okay, so I'm kinda excited about this. I got the idea of them spending time together while on a long trip and I just wondered what would happen if they were able to fall in love without the distraction of their everyday busy lives. I really hope you like it and hit me up with a review!

"Move over."

"I already did."

"Obviously you didn't move enough if I have to ask again."

"You're already in my seat, why don't you move over?"

"Because I'm way too big for these bus seats. Jesus Christ, Sookie. Why aren't we going on a plane?"

I sighed. This wasn't really something I wanted to explain to Eric but he was making sure I made it all the way from New York City back home to Louisiana, and while he was a total pain in the ass and was probably only doing this because his sister—who coincidentally enough is my best friend, Pam—told him to, it was nice of him to do so. Still, that didn't mean I wanted him to be here with me. Eric was a good looking guy—okay that's an understatement, he's a very good looking guy. He looks like sex on a stick with his 6'4'' height, blonde hair, and lean, defined muscles. The only problem is that he knows he knows just how good looking he is and can be an arrogant ass about it. Oh, and the fact that he's a bit of a man whore just makes me feel awkward around him, and sarcasm becomes my only resort when talking to him.

"I'm not going on a plane because money's tight for me, and your sister promised me she'd bring some of my stuff with her once her Summer Classes are done and she can fly down to Louisiana. You're here because you're just annoying."

Eric scoffed. "You could've just gone on a plane with Pam and I, heck you know our dad loves you, he wouldn't mind paying."

"That's not the point!" I said sharply at Eric. It was true, while I did love most of Pam's family and was pretty close to them, it didn't feel right to just be taking money from them. "Listen, I didn't tell you that you had to come with me. If you're so bothered you can just get off before we start moving."

Eric had a thoughtful look on his face before he returned to his usual self, and rolled his eyes, saying, "Please, you have the worst sense of direction I've ever seen a person have. I'd be surprised if you made it out side of New Jersey without getting on the wrong bus."

That was true, it was why I wasn't driving myself down to Louisiana. "Whatever, shut up and let me read," I muttered. Eric huffed but remained silent.

It was just past 9:00 A.M. And the beginning of our 2 day trip down to Shreveport, LA. If this was how the rest of our trip was going to be I'm probably going to need start buying mood enhancing pills. From there my Eric's parents would probably pick us up and drive us to Bon Temps. I had told them that I could get my brother, Jason, or someone else to pick me up, but they didn't mind. Eric and I would be in Louisiana for a little more two weeks before Pam came down, and then we'd be here for three more weeks. After that it'd be another two day bus ride with Eric, and then its back to college life. Yay.

I woke up slowly from my nap on the bus feeling a weight on my shoulder. I barely opened my eyes and saw that it was Sookie's golden head that was on my shoulder. I ended up closing my eyes again and leaning my head on top of hers before I realized what I was doing. My eyes jolted open and I slowly picked my head up so that I wouldn't wake her. I didn't need her get me pissed at me again. I didn't want that.

I may have done a lot of things to give Sookie reasons to not like me, but I never really knew how to act around her. I couldn't just sleep with her because she was Pam's best friend, and even if I tried I knew it wouldn't work. Laying the charm on Sookie usually resulted in her walking away from me rather than bending over.

In all honesty, I respected her more because she wasn't like the women I usually slept with, but even if I respected her it didn't mean I knew how to behave around her. Usually, I felt in control of myself and my emotions, but Sookie's blatant disregard towards me threw me off.

It also doesn't help that the first time we met I actually did try to get her into bed with me. What can I say? She's beautiful, who wouldn't want to sleep with her? Unfortunately, this was before I knew she was Pam's best friend, so any chance of resurrecting a pleasant relationship with her was gone.

Pam thought that Sookie would be the perfect person for me to date. She went on about how she was sarcastic but polite and had a sense of humor with a bit of a dorky side. Internally, I agreed with Pam. While Sookie seemed to be annoyed with me a lot, she was also a very kindhearted and determined person, and she probably would be perfect for me, but I was afraid of doing anything. I felt like if I were ever to start a relationship with Sookie, she might say no because of Pam. Of course I knew Pam wanted us to be together, but from what I'd heard, Sookie wouldn't think its fair to do that to her. Maybe now would be my chance to at least get Sookie to like me, without the distraction of Pam or anyone else. I mean, for how long can I be hopping from one bimbo to the next? I need some sort of stability eventually, and Sookie's the only person I think I can get that with.

"What are you thinking about?" I was taken back to reality by seeing Sookie awake and looking at me questioningly.

"Just how this trip was going to be fun," I smirked at her. In typical Sookie fashion she just rolled her eyes and then closed them to go back to sleep.

AN: So, I know its not much but I didn't want to make the first chapter too long. The next chapter should be longer.
