Sookies POV
I had slept until noon. My bed felt too good to leave. It was a rainy, gray day, I debated on just rolling over and going back to sleep. How could Eric not even mention our time together? I hadn't seen him for weeks and he seemed to want to talk about vampire politics. I rolled onto my back and stretched my arms and legs out. I suppose I should get up and make coffee. I had the day off so I could do or not do whatever I wanted. There was always something that needed to be done around the house. I was thinking of my list of chores while I made coffee and breakfast. I didn't really feel like making anything, so breakfast today would be cereal. My mind kept drifting to Eric's face the night he remembered. I could feel him through the bond, but for a few seconds his stoic vampire mask was gone and he looked vulnerable. It was my old Eric, just for a few moments. My Eric that had cuddled in front of the fire with me, the one who had thought Jason should be caring for me, the Eric that I had sex with. Amazing, mind blowing sex with. I missed that Eric, but that wasn't Eric. Eric came with mind games, and vampire bull shit. I didn't even know what the takeover entailed and I didn't want to. I knew eventually I'd get pulled in some how, but not yet. Well, sitting here moping all day wouldn't do any good, I suppose I'd get dressed and run my errands. I had a few books I needed to return to the library. I was planning on just dropping the books off, but I decided to go in and see if there were any books that caught my eye. I was staying far away from the romance novels. I didn't even want to deal with fictional love interest. Relationships were just disappointing me lately, as in ever since I started having them. I eventually found a interesting sounding fantasy book.
After I left the library, I headed by the grocery store to grab some essentials. I may have accidentally bought some candy as well. I was still in a mopey mood. I needed to just give in and actually talk to Eric. I wanted to be honest with him about everything, but I couldn't help but feel he was keeping things from me. I mean even though the blood bond was the lesser of two evils, I didn't understand what it had meant. I didn't want things to continue in that direction. I decided what I wanted to do, and I hated him making decisions for me. I realize I don't understand his world, but he could either explain it to me or leave me the heck alone. I would wait until dark then head to Shreveport.
