CHAPTER 4
Sookie finds out she's been shortlisted
SPOV
"Amelia, wake up." I said, as I shook her shoulder to rouse her from her sleep.
"What, what? What time is it? Is there a demon underneath my bed? Not again." she groaned. Amelia went through a phase of having very clingy boyfriends and one of them turned out to have stalker-like tendencies. She started to chant in Latin, but I quickly interrupted her.
"No, no. And it's 4:30AM" I reassured her. "I just got a call from Pam, the Sheriff's child. She wants me to come in for an interview tonight at Fangtasia."
"You better get used to these vamp hours or invest in Red Bull, because it freaking early. Thank goodness it's to be a day person." she slowly realized what I said and her eyes bulged with excitement, "WHAT! You got an interview with that hot blonde vampire?" she jumped from her bed and hugged me.
"Well, I am not out of the woods yet, I still need to interview with him. Wait did you say hot and blonde?" I recalled from her earlier statement.
"Ever heard of Google, Sookie?"
"Yes, I know what Google is. I did "Google"" I emphasized with air quotes, "Eric Northman, but I didn't look through the images, just about his business and other information about him that Mr. C had given me. He is going to by my boss Amelia, not my boyfriend." I stated firmly.
"If you say so. Once you see him you are going to want a piece of that Viking." she snorted out.
"I plan on keeping it professional and if we become friends so be it, but I will not be compromising my position by sleeping with him or giving him my blood. I will make that explicitly clear during my interview." I crossed my arms across my chest in protest to her previous comment.
"You keep telling yourself that." With that she promptly turned to her side and fell back to sleep, leaving me with my thoughts.
Should I "Google" him again and look at his pictures? No, no. I will not. This was my first real job and I will be a professional. It wasn't that hard at the law firm to work amongst good looking men or demons. I could handle a vampire sheriff. If need be I would have Mr. C include it in the terms of my employment and plus I was going to be his "daywoman" I wouldn't even be around him most of the time. I continued to talk myself back into the safe zone and returned to my room to sleep a few hours before I departed for Shreveport for my interview. Except sleep didn't come easily and my dreams were filled with visions of a vampire sheriff.
A/N: Just wanted to clarify some things that have come up. I intended for Sookie's time at boarding school to be the equivalent of her high school and college. The time between when her parents died and before she enters The Academy she is under the care of her Gran, but also Fintan and her fairy family.
