I could feel myself waking up, coming back to reality. I remembered I had fainted right before Eric Northman, the one and only, had come into my studio. Oh Crap! Was he really here? So soon after me and Addie had our talk about him. I flashed my eyes open and they were staring straight into the icy blue eyes of Eric Northman. I am not sure what to think. Kinda funny, karma coming back to bite me in the ass so soon after I had just told Addie about him. All I can do is stare, I slowly let my eyes gaze over his form. Addie was right, definitely a Viking God. FUCK! What am I suppose to say to him? I know I told Addie I would tell him about her, but now is NOT the time. I'm not sure what to say so I just continue to stare. I am not sure how long I have been staring, but Eric decide to break the ice.
"Hello, Lover." Oh, he did NOT just call me Lover after 16 years! That just pisses me off! He was always an arrogant ass. But my oh my, what Hott piece of ass! Teenage Eric was always the most beautiful person I had ever seen, but grown up Man Eric, was just oozing Sexy all over the place. Oh my God! He is still so beautiful. UUGHH! Maybe grown up Sookie just needs to get laid. I should probably say something. But before I get the chance Eric is being pulled from my eyesight. What? No! Bring the Sexy back!
Eric's form is quickly placed by a distraught looking Addie. "SOOKIE! Oh thank God you okay." Addie give me a big squeeze. I place my arms around her to hug her back. I am not sure if she has ever been so affectionate with me, at least not since she found out I was her biological mother. So I take a moment and just hold her and breathe her in.
"shh shh, Addie. I'm okay. Calm down."
"I was so worried Sookie, you're the only person I have left that loves me. I know I never tell you but I love you so much, just the thought of you being gone scared me half to death. Thank God Eric showed up. I don't think I do to well under pressure." She reminded me of Eric's presence in the room. So I stand up to greet him.
"Eric, it's been so long. I'm not really sure what to say to you. Ummm, would you like to go downstairs and get something to drink, and catch up maybe?" See, I can be mature. Oh, who am I kidding, any second I will probably blurt out he's a father and I 've kept it from him for 16 years. Come on Sookie, pull it together.
"Umm sure, that would be great." He turns to head down the stairs, but before I could follow, Addie catches my attention.
"Are you gonna tell him Sook? Now? Already?"
"I don't know Addie, do you want me to? I guess we should really go somewhere to talk alone. Lord, knows how he's gonna react." I hadn't really planned on telling him this soon, but if that's what Addie wants, I owe it to her. "I will do whatever you want in this situation Addie. I mean, it's totally up to you."
"Well, Sook, I didn't really think it would be this soon, but ya know, what you always tell me? 'No time like the present'. You say all that stuff and then you go on about ripping off the band-aid. So, ya, I guess it's better to get it over and done with, don't ya think?" I wish I had never taught her anything! Whoever made the 'why put off tomorrow what you can do today' rule sucks ass! Okay, I can do this. I am gonna do this. Just go down stairs talk to to your teenage sweetheart, whom you still totally write silly lovesick songs about. I did go through that revenge phase, but that's all it was. Once the revenge died down, I still thought about what it would be like to still be with him.
"Okay, Addie, let's go downstairs. I'm gonna ask Eric if we can go somewhere private to talk. Will you be okay here by yourself for a while?"
"Ya, I will be okay, but are you sure it will be okay to be alone with him after you tell him. I mean, I imagine most guys would get pretty pissed."
"I will be fine, but I'm definitely gonna need some courage." Addie heads towards her room, so I go downstairs and find Eric sitting at the kitchen table. Oh god, one look at him at that table and the cheerleaders in my panties start waving their pom poms. All I can do is imagine him bending me over that table, hiking up my skirt, and shoving himself into me. God, I need to find my vibrator. Maybe that would relieve some of this lust I seem to have built up.
"Sookie…What are you thinking of right now? See something you like?" Eric smirks as he catches me lustfully staring at him. Still as arrogant as ever I see.
"I need a drink." I walk over to my freezer and pull out the bottle of Jack I always keep there, for emergency purposes only. I reach in my cabinet, pull out two shot glasses and place them on the table in front of Eric. I fill them up and pass Eric his. "Drink up Eric, you're gonna need it…..cheers." I say and give him my biggest 'this is really gonna be awkward' grin that I can muster up.
He takes his glass and touches it to mine, and has our fingers accidently graze over each others, a spark of electricity shoots straight up my spine and sends shivers all down my body. We throw back our shots and place our glasses back on the table and I immediately began to refill.
"Why Sookie Stackhouse, are trying to get my drunk so you can take advantage of me? I assure you, there is no need for it?"
"Eric, I can assure that this," I raise my glass to him, "Is strictly for encouragement. Since you want to 'catch up', I'm pretty sure we're both gonna need it."
"Come on Sook, surely seeing me isn't all that bad. I've been told that I'm a pretty easy on the eyes."
"And you seem to have gotten an even bigger ego too, I see. Well, come on then. If we're gonna catch up…let's drive down to the lake. I have a teenager living here and she doesn't need to hear all your dirty details." HAH! Take that mister!
"Where is Addie? I brought all the paper work for ya'll to fill out, so she can come to work."
"She's upstairs, she asked about you after she came back from her impromptu interview today. I told her about our history and she thought she would give us some privacy. So you can just leave the paper work on the table. Come on, let get out of here. I need some fresh air. Grab that bottle of Jack and meet me out front." I grab the keys to a couple of the 4-wheelers and head out to the yard.
"Come on Eric, the 4-wheelers are in the shed, we can take those down to the lake."
"What do you want me to do with this?" he asked as he held up my bottle of courage.
"I'll take that, thank you. You remember the way, or should I lead?" I take the bottle from him and ask. Like he could forget where the lake is. That was where we spent most of our time together, so I was always sneaking off from Gran and meeting him down there.
"Oh, I think I may remember how to get there." He smarts off. We both crank up the 4-wheelers and head to the lake. Me, holding tight to my bottle, and staring at Eric backside the whole way. This is gonna be a long night.
