"Who are you dressing up for?" My brother had come over an hour before my date with Eric. And curling my hair was proving to be near impossible, mostly because Jason asking me ridiculous questions like if Eric lived in a coffin or not which I didn't know anyway's.
"Sookie you aren't going to have sex with him are you?"
I winced, "I don't plan to at least not tonight"
"I hope not ever. It could be dangerous fo-"
"Jason you don't know up from down most of the time so don't tell me what to do"
"I never told you to do anything Sookie. Damn what flew up your ass?"
Sighing, I calmed down and set my curlers down so I wouldn't hit my brother impulsively with them. "Sorry I'm just nervous my hair is acting funny, and I don't know what to expect on this date"
Jason crossed his arms over each other, "Well sis, that's understandable." He said trying to sound like a big brother, and responsible. Before I could reply the door bell rang. I knew who it was without asking. It was him; Eric. I could almost feel him outside the front door, waiting for me to answer. I maneuvered around Jason and went to the door. With a hesitant breath, I opened it.
"You look beautiful." Eric rumbled, taking in every inch of me in those blue eyes of his.
"Are those the first words your supposed to say to a lady?"
"Why is everything I say wrong Sookie?" Eric asked earnestly, he was right every time he said something I questioned it or snapped at him.
I shook my head, "I'm sorry...thank you Eric. You look handsome, if you don't mind me saying." He looked amazing in a dark blue suit, I wondered what restaurant we were going to.
"Handsome is what you say to your grandfather, what do you really think of the way I look tonight Sookie?" He demanded me to tell him, and I felt compelled too.
"Well I think you look sexy...more to the point you look like sex." I blushed as I said the words, but it pleased me to see lust fill his eyes.
"Don't be afraid to say what you feel when you are with me Sookie. I'll always say what's on my mind, no matter what." He looked over my shoulder and I knew that Jason was standing there listening. "You're Jason"
I looked behind me and gave Jason the 'shut the hell up' look. He better not open his mouth up and spew nonsense. Not in my home.
"Yeah I'm Sookie's brother. And look you better not get her into trouble tonight, because Vampire or not I'll kick your ass." Jason may be good-natured, and childish but when it came to his little sister he was never kidding around.
For a second I saw something cross Eric's eyes but I didn't catch it. "Are you ready to go?"
I reached up to finger my hair, "Um no I have to finish my hair."
"It looks fine to me." Eric shrugged.
"It isn't" I protested, I looked back at Jason and gestured towards the door pointedly. "Don't you have to be home Jason?"
"No" He said stubbornly.
"Go home Jason" I sighed.
"Alright. Call me when you get home tonight though" Looking at Eric, "Or I'll be back here around two A.M."
"You'll be wasting gas." I pointed out. Sometimes Jason could be a complete drama queen.
"Making sure my sister is safe isn't wasting gas" He replied, brushing past me out of the door.
"You may as well come on in because I have to finish my hair"
"How many women have you brought back here?" I asked him, he had taken me to his condo, where a line of food was placed on the table like a Thanksgiving buffet.
"You are the only one, you should count your self special"
"Why is that? Why am I the only one you've taken here?"
He took a sip from a golden goblet, licking his lips clean before answering. "I wanted to impress you"
I brushed my hair behind my ear, leaning into my chair staring back at him. "If you were human I'll think you were blushing"
"I've never been this attracted to a human like this before. I'm intrigued with you entirely."
"I'm just like every other blue-eyed blonde girl out there, just maybe a little different." Like you know hearing other people thoughts.
"We both know you're more than that."
"What was the longest relationship you've had?" I asked curiously and successfully changing the top of discussion.
"Hell, probably back when I was human. I don't keep women around for long. The only women who has stuck by me for more than a week is Pam" He said humorously.
"Oh." I began eating to cover up my thoughts. If he couldn't even withstand a relationship more than a week, how was the two of us going to work out? Oh wait, this was only one date to settle the car debt I had with him.
"Don't be discouraged, people can change"
"You aren't human though. Vampires live thousands, and thousands of years to settle in their ways and never change. Simply because they don't have to change to get through life"
"Don't be so sure, Sookie" He replied. "I've been wondering...have you ever fucked a Vampire?"
I thought about telling him off, telling him it wasn't any of his damn business but I wanted to answer him. "I'm still a virgin Eric. I haven't...fucked anyone"
"You have to be kidding me" He said incredulously.
"Well I'm not a girl who just sleeps around with everyone, I'm not a ho"
"No one called you a ho'...What did you think of my friend Bill?"
That was an odd question, "Why?"
"He's been asking about you, I'm just wondering why"
"I wouldn't know why, what did he say?" A vampire going around asking about me didn't sound like a good thing at all. Sounded like very bad news actually.
"Why are you interested?" He asked annoyed.
"I'm not interested Eric, I just wanted to know what he said. You afraid he's going to try to take me away or something?" It was cute that he was jealous that I might want something to do with Bill Compton.
"I'm insulted that you think that Bill could have any woman who I" He stopped down he asked, "Have you been thinking about our kiss?"
"Honestly I have, for some reason I can't wait to kiss you again" I said truthfully, I knew I was blushing from the apple of my cheeks to my lips.
"I have that effect on woman"
"Your such a pompous ass" And I couldn't fathom why I was still amazingly attracted to him.
"Good thing I'm good-looking" Eric chuckled, he stood up and walked to me. I loved the way he towered over me, all that height, all that muscle attracted to me. Wanting to kiss me. The thought of having him drove me crazy. "I can not wait any longer Sookie, stand up" I obeyed without retort. Without hesitation he took me in his arms aggressively, one hand wrapped into my hair while the other cupped my ass. I felt the passion in his lips, I felt fire in his tongue. I dared to get even closer with him. I wanted more, so much more.
