Sookie

Thursday

So much has been going on, yesterday there was something on the television about the Vampire Rights Amendment, or the VRA as some people have been calling it.

Sam knows that I'm a support of the vampires, but he still feels I should watch myself. Bill returned on Tuesday, he wouldn't tell me where had been though all he said was, and I quote "It's nothing to be trouble over, not yet anyhow." What was that suppose to mean, not yet?

Last night Grams went out with some of her friends, part of her Descendants of the Glorious Dead club. Jason was out either having a beer somewhere or hooking up with someone he just met. I couldn't complain cause I was doing the same.

Bill is gentle, and at the same time he's fast. Not too fast I can't enjoy him but just right fast. He would grip my blond hair, and near the end I could hardly breathe. He was my first lover, and I'm very pleased with my choice.

I've been working for almost two extra hours now. Terra is tending the bar, Arlene is walking around in a tight shirt uniform because she says she gets bigger tips if she shows some bigger tits. Lafayette was working as fast he could move in the back too.

"God, if I don't sit down soon, I swear I'm gunna collapse!" I yelled. Terra came to my corner of the bar, and mixed a drink. "Here girl, you need this more than any other person in this room." She gave me the glass, it smelled some strong I was getting tipsy from just looking at it. "What is it?" I made a nasty look, I could tell by the way Tara looked at me. "It's a magicial poison created by men to shut women up. I call it a Martini." Lafayette popped his head out the kitchen window, "You's best be careful now, the last "magic poison" I had from this girl I woke up with my hands tied behind my back, and a cherry pie on my front." Tara throw a couple of napkins at him.

It was a strong drink that's for sure. "Thanks but I don't think I'll be needin the whole thing." I placed it by Tara, and went back to work.

God, just let me have this one beer, I'll say no to the next one if you let me. A rather large man was think that very loudly in his head, was the first drunk to hear that from either. Cannot wait to get the hells out of this place, been workin my well toned behind for a good five hours, and Sookie you readin my thoughts? I quickly ran over to Terry the other waitress at Merlotte's.

"I'm sorry, Terry. I don't know what it is, I've been trying to block everyone out, but it's the stress of all this workload." Terry flipped her brown hair back into a ponytail, "Well you won't be needing to worry much longer, Sam is gunna bringing a new girl either later tonight, or tomorrow afternoon."

I didn't know we were hiring, but the extra help would be nice. "He told me was going to the airport to pick up someone, a friend of his needed him to take care of his daughter I think… something along those lines."

Terry giggled, "Great another hooter for the pigs to gaze at." She had been referring to the men in the bar. "Well, I can't image she'll be too much trouble. I hope." Terry hated competition.

Friday

It's five o'clock in the afternoon now. "Ok, I'm gonna head out. I gotta get ready, I got a date." I was thrilled, Bill was coming over to meet Grams. He said he would were his civil war uniform for her, too. Grams is absolutely thrilled to meet someone from the actual civil war.

"You got yourself a date, with an actual person? Sookie Stackhouse, you are just full of surprise now aren't you?" Arlene joked, "So, who is the luck feller?" I took my hair out of my pony tail and before I could answer Tara was a step ahead of me. "His name is Bill Compton. He's that vampire who's been lurking around heres."

Probably just wants to eat poor Sookie; A vampire, those are suppose to be great lovers, I want one! I was gettin a bit mad. "Now look, y'all think whatever you want, but Bill is not gunna eat me or drink my blood. He told me doesn't like to attack humans. That's why he's bout almost a year's supply of that TrueBlood." I darted my eyes towards Tara then to Arlene who was right as rain on the whole "vampire lover" thought.

"Shoot, I gotta go. I'll see you all tomorrow, ok? Tell Sam to call me if he drops by."

I needed to talk to that man about my work hours. It's such a beautiful May twilight I wish I could walk home but the house is so far, it would take hours to arrive. I got in my little blue car, and started to drive home. It was just about five-forty when I got there.

Jason greeted me when I walked into the door. "Hey ya, Sooks. Can I have a word with you?" He glanced over to look at grams sitting in the kitchen. "In private?" He moved me into the living room and we sat ourselves on the couch by the fireplace.

"Sookie, you know I've always had the best interest for you right?" He took his cap off and rubbed his short blond hair. "No you haven't. When I was thirteen, you tied my ponytails to the swings so I would embarrass you in front of your first date. Remember?" He laughed, he had remember.

Screw you Sookie, that was funny. I slapped the back of his head. "Hey! That's not nice." He coughed out of his laughter. "You're not nice, Jason Stackhouse!" I yelled at him. "I know where you going with this Jason, and I want nothing to hear from you about Bill. He's a fine man, and I want you to keep your comments to yourself."

He crossed his arms, and replied, "Fine."

I don't like him, he's dangerous I know he is, He reminds me of Dracula. "That's not funny Jason!" I punched his arm, then the doorbell rang. "He's here, please, please don't be rude."

We both got up, and went to the door, Grams said she wanted to go put some makeup on first. I opened the door, Jason was behind me. To my surprise it wasn't Bill, but Sam. "Hey Sookie, I know I shouldn't be troubling you, I know you have that date tonight." I looked at him in a way, like 'how'd you know' way. "Tara told me. I was wondering if you could help me with something. May I come in?" Of course I said yes, Sam is my boss and my friend.

Behind Sam was a dark browned haired girl, who looked rather pale, carrying a rather large bag. She didn't look any older than a seventeen year old girl. "Well hello there, who are you?" I tried to greet her in the best way possible, she had a bandage wrapped on her hand, and looked like death. Poor thing.

"My name is Bella, Bella Swan. My dad is a friend of Mr. Merlotte." Sam came by me. "Bella, you can call me Sam. Everyone else does." She apologized. "Bella this is my brother Jason." She blushed a little, and I wanted to know what she was thinking about him. I tried to focus but I got nothing but a buzzing sound, nothing. That's strange, the only person thoughts I couldn't read was Bill's."

"Sookie can I talk to you in the other room for a second?" I nodded yes. We sat down in the kitchen. I left Bella with Jason to let them talk.

Wow, I wonder if she's legal. I heard Jason think. "Just a second." I grabbed an apple and tossed it into the next room, hitting my brother's shoulder. He gave me the finger.

"Sookie, Bella has been through a lot. Her boyfriend had to leave to be with a dying relative somewhere and her father thinks that their town isn't safe for her right now." I gulped, "where she live?" I questioned.

"She lives in a town called Forks. A friend of hers was killed, by what the police think was a vampire attack. Her dad said that was the fourth attack within three days, and he sent her down here to Bon Temps. The only problem for me is that my home is quite ready yet, and I still need to deal with the Bar." I had a feeling where this was going, "So…"

I didn't know what to say without sounding nasty. "So, I was wondering if you could take her in, just until I get everything at my house cleaned up, and work settled. She'll be working at the Bar as well so you two could carpool together." Yup, that's what I thought. "Ok, I'll do it. It'll be like havin myself a little sister, sorta…" The two of us laughed for a moment. That was it, Bella Swan was gunna be livin with me.
