Chapter Two

Sookie's POV

I had a restless night. The conversation I had with Eric just kept running through my head. I could remember the sad look in his eyes when Bill had walked in behind me. I also knew that I would have to hurt two of the men I love.

This whole thing was killing me. I did not mean to fall in love with all of them. I had just happened. I had made a pros and cons list for all three of them and that did not help. So I had made a plan to help me make my choice. It may make me seem like a slut, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

Since I could not sleep I decided to get a head start on cleaning the house. With the way it looked now my Gran would be disappointed in me. God rest her soul. She believed that the cleanliness of your home said everything about you.

I started in my room and worked my way down stairs. The whole house shined. I checked the clock. 9:00pm. I had three hours before they would be here. I took a nice long shower and made me some dinner. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and greens. (Alcide's favorite) I had already stocked up on some True Blood for Eric and Bill. I ate then washed my dishes.

Checking the clock again I saw it was 11:45pm. I stepped out on the front porch to wait for them to see that Bill was already sitting there.

"How long have you been sittin' out here? I asked

"An hour maybe." He replied "I wanted to get here early to try and talk you out of this nonsense."

"You are NOT gonna talk me out of this Bill. I have to choose and this is the only thing I can think of." I countered

"You love me Sookie." He said in a low voice "Why can't we just be together?"

"I do love you Bill." I cried "But you left me remember. You told me that you did not want to be with me anymore. While you were gone Alcide and Eric took care of me. They were here for me while you were not. I fell in love with them too."

"But I'm back now Sookie. You do not need them anymore." He whispered

"Who's to say you will not leave her again Bill?" came Alcide's voice from the drive way.

I was so wrapped up in my conversation with Bill that I had not heard him and Eric pull in.

"I'm not going anywhere. I will not leave Sookie again." Bill replied

"Alright guys! You will not fight. Let us all go inside." I said "Alcide are you hungry? I made fried chicken."

"My favorite." He said in a smug voice. "Yea Sook, I'm starved

"What about you two?" I asked "I have plenty of True Bloods"

"Yes please." They both replied.

I got them their True Bloods then set about slowly making Alcide a plate. I was beginning to get extremely nervous and wanted to take as much time as I possibly could. I had never been in the same room with all three of them and the effect of it was making me shake. I could have cut the tension with a knife.

Alcide finished his plate within five minutes. The whole time he ate he was talking to me in his head.

"Come on Sook. You know I love you more than these fangers do! You are my world. It has been so hard for me to stay away from you. I NEED you! Please choose me."

As I washed Alcide's dishes I had to wipe tears from my eyes. I had missed Alcide. I had tried to call him a few times, but he refused to talk to me until he knew my choice. Just like Eric.

"Alright Sookie we are all here." Eric said "So who do you choose?"

This was what I was afraid would happen. Eric and Alcide would think I had made my choice. They would think that is why I wanted all three of them here. I took a deep breath and replied.

"I told you Eric, I have not made a choice yet."

"But you said that is why you wanted us here." He said

"No I said it had to do with making my choice." I told them on a shaky breath. "The thing is I cannot make a choice."

"What do you mean, you cannot make a choice?" Alcide asked

"Let me finish." I said becoming even more nervous. "I cannot make a choice with what I have. So I have come up with a plan to help me choose."

"OK. What is your plan?" Alcide questioned. "Are you gonna date us all to get to know us better? For God's sake Sook, you can hear my thoughts. What else do you need to know?"

"No, I am not going to date all of you." I answered "I know EVERYTHING about Bill. Now I need to know EVERYTHING about the two of you."

"What do you mean Sookie?" Eric asked

"I mean," I replied "That I have been intimate with Bill. But I have not been with the two of you."

"Are you saying you want to have sex with us?" Eric asked smirking.

"That is exactly what I am saying." I answered shyly. "I know everything I'll be missing if I do not choose Bill. But I will not know with you two. I know this must sound crazy, but it is all I can think of. So here is my plan. Starting tomorrow night at sundown, one of you will be with me sexually until one hour before sun up. Bill will not be a part of this seeing as we have already slept together. On the third night after I have experienced both of you I will make my choice."

No one said anything after I finished my speech. Bill looked ready to kill, Eric was just sitting there staring at the table, and Alcide was pacing the kitchen. I was beginning to think no one would speak until Eric spoke gently in my ear.

"Are you sure about this Sookie?"

"Yes," I said "Alcide are you in or not?"

"I'm in!" He stopped pacing to answer. "But only on one condition."

"What would that be?" I asked

"He is not allowed to have your blood and you cannot have his." He replied

"Deal!" I said glancing at Eric who nodded in agreement. "So who wants the first night?" I asked with a shaky voice
