Chapter 2

After packing my bags I had begun to get nervous. Amelia had left earlier in the day to do something so we had already said our goodbyes. Picking my huge suitcase off the bed I mentally went over everything I had packed. I made sure to have plenty of black (considering most everyone at Fangtasia wore black) and I also made sure to pack plenty of pajamas. While going through my closet in search of all the black I had found an old Halloween costume that had a corset. I decided to wear that tonight. Hopefully it wouldn't be too "skanky". I figured I'd rather dress myself than let Eric do it. Since I would be staying with Eric I wanted to make sure I didn't wear anything he would perceive as being… inviting. I glanced at the clock 4:50. If I were going to make it to Fangtasia I would need to leave soon. Getting the bag down the stairs was no easy feat. After I had it packed into the car I couldn't help be get a little excited about going to the vampire bar in Shreveport. After all I would see Eric.

After making the long drive I finally pulled into Fangtasia and after a brief moment of collecting myself I decided to suck it up and go in. The first person I saw was Pam. It was right on 6 o'clock and people were just starting to arrive. How vampires could wake up and get ready so quickly really perplexed (today's word) me.

"Nice outfit Sookie… can you breathe?" she asked looking me over. The corset was super tight and so was the skirt. My heels were also black but had a modest heel.

"Uh Thanks Pam, and no I really can't breathe. I feel really uncomfortable in it actually," I said walking past her. I could so do this. Eric was sitting in his normal spot in the dead center of the bar. Even mister high and mighty had bar duty every now and then, most vampires in Shreveport did. Might as well get this over with, I thought while I walked towards him. It didn't take him long to spot me. He suddenly looked hungry.

"Why Sookie what is this outfit? " he asked with a little smile playing on his lips.

"Just something I had lying around," I was hoping he would let it drop.

"What is a good girl like you doing with that lying around?" Of course he went there.

"I figured it would be better than anything you picked out," I snapped and he actually laughed.

"No, but this will definitely do. I assume your luggage is with you?" Here is the Eric we all know, business first.

"Yes, it's in my trunk," I said also mocking his tone. I can do this. He motioned for me to follow him. He led me over to the bar. He showed me were a few things were and introduced me to several of the current employees. All of which were fang bangers and not very welcoming. The last thing he showed me was the section I would be in charge of. I figured it would be somewhere out in the open, but it was the section directly in front of his big chair he seems to love so much. He just loved attention. Of course he once told me he didn't like to be "overseen".

"Sink or Swim time I guess." I said grabbing an order pad and a pen. He looked at down at me completely expressionless.

"You will be fine I'm sure," and with that he walked off. Ok, boss. I looked around quickly, there still were not that many people here, but there was someone in my section. I took a deep breath and off I went. There was one man (if you could call him that) sitting at my table. He looked like he was probably a frat boy, probably looking to score with a vamp. I put a smile on my face.

"Hello, What can I do for you?" I asked.

"Well look at you, aren't you sweet?" He said eyeing me up and down. Did he just lick his lips?

"Not really," I said. This reminded me of the first time I met Eric. Do I really come off that sweet? He just smirked at me.

"I'll have a beer…Miller," He said looking me over again.

"Okay, coming right up," I said turning on my heel. I was sure he was looking at my butt but I decided against making waves. I got his beer in record time and returned it back to his table.

"Here ya go," I said placing a napkin down then the beer. I didn't wait for anymore of his comments, plus I had someone else in my section.

The night went on without a hitch. I didn't have time to stop and think much. I would listen to people but just as always the topic ranged from sex to sex. I would occasionally catch Eric watching me. It reassured me more than anything to have him there. Around 1A.M. I noticed went into this office and Pam took over the reigns. The bar closed around 2 A.M. and I had survived my first night. The demand was definitely higher here than at Merlottes, and the men were a lot open about there intentions. After I saw Pam get the last of the Frat boys out I sat down at the bar. I started counting my tips. These people may be crude and they may stare at my butt, but man they tip way better here. I had easily made over 500 dollars. I smiled and stuffed the tips back into my pocket. I saw Pam come up beside.

"Did you have a good night?" she asked. Pam had warmed up to me over time, somewhat.

"Yes, but I am glad its over," I said yawning. She nodded.

"The night is still young," she said tilting her head.

"Maybe for you, but for me it's time for bed," I yawned again. I really couldn't help it. "When are we going wherever I am staying?" I asked standing up to stretch.

"I'll go see what Eric is up to," she said. Pam was a lady of few words. After 10 minutes I saw I was the only one left in the bar. All the others had gone home and I relaxed with the silence their absence brought. Eric and Pam emerged not long after that.

"Sookie, did you have a good first night?" Eric asked turning off some of the lights.

"Yes, the people here are more forward then what I'm used to," I said walking towards the door.

"It's a vampire bar, people do not come here for simple leisure," he said coming up behind me. Well yeah I had figured that.

"I'm ready for bed," I said turning to look at him. He eyes got an evil glint in them.

"Really? So soon, lover?" Okay I had walked right into that one.

"Eric, you know what I meant," I said gently proving my point pushing into the wall that was his stomach.

"Well let's go then," and Me and Pam followed him. They got into his Corvette and I followed behind them in my car. Hmm I wonder what his house looks like?
