And once again I own nothing all rights go to Mrs Charline Harris and this chapteragain is un Beata'd and am still looking for someone who would be interested in dealing with this crazy bunch of people =-)
E.P.O.V
"Crystal for the last time, she's just my best friend! There's nothing to worry about, how many times do I have to go though this with you?" I seethe
"You're the one I want to be with! I think the 2 rings and the 2 week honeymoon are proof of that don't you? Do you see me getting all bent out of shape when you go and see your male friends? NO! wanna know why? It's because I trust you why can't you do the same for me?" I say defeated
" aww hunni I do trust you, it's her I don't trust, she loves you it's so obvious it's painful" she retorts
"What ever, I can't deal with this right now" I respond as I'm walking out of our bedroom and down the hall with every intention of walking out of our house and downstairs to see my best friend or at the least sleep on her couch. This fight is an on going one and had been going on for a few hours tonight anyway, so to say the least I'm tired and I can't be bothered fighting anymore it seems that's all I'm doing of late, between Crystal and Pam it's doing my head in and I need a break and Sook is my only sanity at the moment.
"Where are you going? You cant just leave.. we need to talk about this!" she desperately replys when she sees me heading to the door
"I'm going to see my best friend and stay there the night, and yes I can I'm over 'talking about this' as you so put it because it's all we seem to do and it ends like this us fighting and I'm sick to death of fighting, You and Pam will be the death of me I swear" I say as I walk out the door.
I then walk into Sookie's part of the house and instantly feel guilty not for leaving my wife upstairs, but for coming into Sookie's house and going to wake her up, as I know it's late and she has to be up early as she is a school teacher. But regardless I'll try to wake her and if I can't I'll sleep on the couch and leave before she wakes up isn't the first time I've done that.
So I make my way upto her bedroom and see that she has her back to the door so I walk over and start gently rocking her trying to coax her awake. Just to check that she is actualy asleep I lean over her and she was awake and she moves her head so she can see me in the dim light she looks worried and tired, and me I just feel guilty for waking her up.
"Eric what's wrong? Why are you here it's the middle of the night" she groggily asks me
"Sorry do you mind if I crash in here with you? It's just that Crystal and I had a big fight and I kinda don't want to be alone right now… Please" I all but beg her
"hop in" is all I hear before I all but run round the other side of the bed to get in, whilst I'm doing that I see her roll herself over from the middle of the bed lay on her side that is facing away from me, most likely to give me my privacy as she thinks I'd want it…. But I don't.
"Sook, please don't turn away from me, look I know it's only to sleep and I'm gonna sound like a whiney clingy needy girl right now… and if you tell anyone I'll deny it, but I need my best friend! I need to feel that nothing's changed between us even if something's have, I just need to know and feel that your with me, so woman get your arse over here" I says to her whilst opening my arms to her for a hug/ snuggle
So that's how we fall asleep, wrapped up in each – other's arms and the next thing I know I have someone trying to coax me awake "Eric" she softly says whilst gently rocking me, similar to what I did to her last night
"mmmm" I respond sleepily / groggily…. I'm not a morning person by any stretch
"sorry to wake you but I have to get going to work, and I thought I'd wake you because I didn't know what time you had to get going to work"
"Thanks Sook, what is the time?" I ask slightly more coherently
"It's 8:30am, I gotta go so I can get things set up for my classes today" she respond
"Ok, thanks again Sook, I'll call you later today" I respond as she's walking out of her room to the front door. I roll over thinking it would be best to try and get a few more hrs of sleep, but the reality hits me and I groan as I remember it's stocktake at my sisters bar and she always gets me to help before I open my shop a few blocks away. So I get up and stumble into the kitchen EUREKA! Sookie is my saviour she left me a pot of coffee so after a cup of coffee I feel more human so I head back up to my part of the house whilst obviously locking Sookies house up.
I had some time to kill before my dear Twin turns up so I decided to Google the meaning behind certain flowers as I know for a fact that Sookies grandma taught her about that so I obviously wish to convey the correct message to her. With that done I race down to the local florest and put my order in and write the card to be sent with it. I get back to the bar with tonnes of time to spare before Pam turns up and she does in her normal fashion later than what she said she would be with dark sunnies on and a huge (almost bucket size) Styrofoam mug of coffee.
"So twinny what's turned your perma scowl upside down? Did you finally get some from her in all these years?" she says trying to razz me sure it slightly annoys me that she pokes fun at my sex life but with are siblings for?
"Pam I doubt you want to hear about my sex life…. But if you must know why I'm happy it's because I'm catching up with Sookie tonight and I haven't seen her since my wedding day" I repond walking off to finish the rest of the stocktake so I can go open my shop.
I had no idea I was smiling but oh wells im just happy because I haven't seen Sookie in ages and I'm seeing her tonight like I said to her last night I miss her and sure our friendship sucks right at the moment and has been a bit strained since I started dating Crystal and I want to change that as Sookie and I use to be so close and now it feels like a barely know her.
As I'm just about done a huge OSM happens I forgot to clear the browser history and I'm sure by now my dear loving twin has discovered this and knows who the flowers are for and my attempts at the note I did send to her and I know I'm in for a world of hurt with relentless teasing or possible abuse from Pam…. So after I've finished my job I leave everything in the correct place and sneak out and head to my tattoo parlour where Alcide is waiting for me.
The rest of the day goes relatively quickly though surprisingly I hear nothing from Pam or Sookie all day. So I close my shop up head home, and take another shower having no aircon on warn days can be a bitch! I then head down to Yum – Yum's and Godrics and I have 15 minuites before Sookie is meant to be here. I quickly say my hello's to Yum Yum and head out the back to the kitchen to see Godric who I think of as a father as I barely ever see mine due to him and my mum living in Sweeden.
"Hi Dad" I say as I'm walking in
"Hi Son long time no see how are you?" he cheerfully responds whilst coming up to me to give me a man hug which I reciprocate happily.
"Aww not too bad just busy working…" I start to say he then cuts me off and says "Please tell me son that our daughter has the other wedding band" I look at him surprised
"Dad… you know I was marrying Crystal, and that's what I did, Sookie and I are just friends, we are to opposite it would never work even if we did like each other" I respond
"Who are you trying to convince my son? Me or yourself?" he calmly responds whilst continuing to do prep work.
"You, I don't know why I'm having to justify myself to you and everyone else about my choice to be with Crystal" I respond getting slightly aggravated
"You don't have to justify it to anyone and the fact that you feel you do does that not make you think that maybe you made a wrong choice?, I know what it's like I've been there I made quite a few wrong choices before I met Yun. So if I can impart any information to you it would be that your home life should be calm and being with your soul mate should be as easy as breathing no second guessing and defiantly not making you feel you have to justify yourself to everyone, look you can choose to listen to me or not but trust me when I say that all the people who you feel you need to justify yourself to care about you and only want the best for you" he calmly responds.
"Hawt dam who's the babe with an amazing rack?" the new chef I belive his name is Quinn… asks
"That would be my daughter you pig" Godric responds
As soon as I head Sookie was here my heart rate sored through the roof, my hands instantly became sweaty and I honest to god got butterflies in my stomach, why the hell am I nervous? She's my best friend I've practically grew up with her and I know her better than anyone so why am I so nervous to see her when I just saw her this moring…. Godric can't be right is he? do I have feelings for my best friend? Well of course I do I love her, but what kind of love? what would it mean if I did love her in a romantic sense? Gosh even just thinking about this is giving me a headache.
"Why so nervous son?" Godric asks whilst poking me in the side
"Why would I be nervous" I respond trying to put my nerves, fears and 100 million questions I had for myself.
"Well c' mon then Sookie's waiting for us" he says whilst pushing me out
