Eric's POV

I drove to the work relaxed knowing that Hadley was in good hands. I never saw Hadley trust someone so quickly after meeting them. But I couldn't say that I blamed her there was something so calmingly sweet about Sookie. I saw how Hadley's eyes lit up looking up at Sookie and it makes my stomach clench just thinking of it. I pulled up into the parking lot of the office and walked up to the receptionist's desk a petite blond was in the booth when she saw me her jaw dropped and she started stuttering.

"H..Hi..I'm Ginger." She said trying to give me sexy eyes and I chuckled I loved the reactions I got from women. I worked hard on my body and when I occasionally met a woman who I wanted to spend time with I loved the look in their eyes when they saw me naked. Some call me cocky I just think I'm proud and I should be. No matter how many women I dated none of them came to my home and I never messed around with anyone from work. But I can't say I didn't enjoy the looks I got from women at work it just brightened up my day a little.

"Hi, I'm Eric Northman, here to see Pamela Northman. Ginger." I said in a sultry voice giving her a bright smile and taking her hand and giving a gentle kiss on her knuckles, I heard her breath hitched. I was really enjoying seeing this woman turn to puddle in front of me.

"Eric, stop being an ass to Ginger and get inside my office before I have to buy a new chair." I heard Pam say in a bored voice all her own from the hallway next to the desk and had to stifle a laugh. Pam was all her own cocky and pain in my ass that I have missed. I stood up and gave a wink and walk towards my little sister dressed up in a baby pink silk blouse buttoned up to the top, a beige pencil skirt, and baby pink heels. I swear she dresses like a soccer mom sometimes, but she her attitude was like one of the guys. I walked up to her and pulled her into a big hug.

"So what has you all giddy." She asked as she lead me into her office. "You're acting like a happy little school girl." She chuckled as she sat behind her red cherry desk.

"Nothing really. I'm happy, I have a new job, new house, it feels like a new start." I said giving her my best shit eating grin.

"Oh, God! Who is she?" She asked with a cocked eyebrow.

"Who's who?" I asked confused.

"Eric, really! Who do you think you are talking to? I am your sister I know you more than I think you know yourself. I just want to know how on earth in less than 4 days in town you have managed to find a woman. Does your dick have some sort of magnet that attracts all the pussy within a ten mile radius? Because seriously if that is what you have I think we can market it and make a pretty penny." She chuckled. I had to laugh only Pam could come up with this kind of shit.

"Pam, I have not met a woman. I'm just happy that Hadley's teacher is so nice to her. I think she would be a good influence." I said hoping she would just drop the subject but then I saw the smirk on her face and realized she wasn't even close to being done.

"So this teacher what does she look like?" She asked with a wide innocent smile.

"I don't know. She's got long blond curly hair, big blue eyes, around 5'6, and pouty lips." I said picturing Sookie in my head.

"So what was she wearing?" Pam asked looking down at her nails looking bored.

"A yellow sundress with blue flowers on it, it was simple but it looked good on her you could tell that she wasn't the type to prissy herself up more of a natural beauty. She's got curves not like those other woman that think that looking like a stick will get them a man." I chuckled and Pam looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Wow, I was completely wrong Eric women should not have to fear you sweetheart." She laughed. "You are fucked Eric, you just met this woman and you talking about her like some little tween hooked on The Jonas Brothers." She laughed and I growled I hated Pam. She will never let this drop. I could picture her over my grave bringing this up every time she visited. God! Hadley was like her and so many ways and this was one of them.

After an hour of making fun of me she finally let me go to my office and get situated. The only client I knew I was going to have problems with is Mr. Decastro who owned a share of a strip club and liked to hold his meeting there. What the hell kind of name is Sinful for a club? I don't agree with strip clubs especially now that I have a daughter it just irks me to see old men ogle girls who are barely 18. I have a couple of weeks before I even had to worry about it 12 days to be in fact on Saturday I made sure to write down the date and time in my calendar that was going to be one hell of an awkward meeting.

I was sitting down having a late lunch with Pamela a little after 3:30 when my cell phone went rang. I looked at caller id and saw a number that I didn't recognize. Pam raised her eyebrow at me and I just shrugged and picked it up.

"Northman." I answered and Pam snickered at my phone mannerisms.

"Mr. Eric Northman?" said a soft sweet voice with a southern accent and I stilled. It couldn't be?

"Speaking."

"Hi, this is Sookie Stackhouse, Hadley's teacher. We spoke today?"

"Oh Ms. Stackhouse how may I help you?" I asked wishing I could help her with as much as she'd let me.

"Well today I spent some time with Hadley and she told me about your move. We got along great and she is just the sweetest thing. She just showed some concern with her sitter she said it was going to be Mrs. Fortnberry and I know you don't have much choices because she offered to do it for free and everything until you got settled into your job. I really hope you don't offend you or cross any lines because that's not what I'm trying to do." She sounded so cute rambling I couldn't hold back a smile that appeared on my face.

"What is it that you are trying to say Ms. Stackhouse?" I asked with a chuckle.

"Oh, it's Sookie please." She said softly. I think she was trying to get up her nerve.

"Okay, Sookie, what are you trying to ask me?" I asked smiling wide this woman was just so adorably sexy in an innocently sweet way. I heard her take a deep breath.

"Well I was wondering I could help you if you want. I don't want to offend you or anything but I could help taking care of Hadley after school from Monday through Thursday I'm open if you really need someone and I have excellent references. It's just Hadley seemed so unhappy today when she left that I was hoping to make this transition easier for her." She finished quickly I swear this woman could talk fast. I was shocked I didn't know what to say she liked Hadley and was concerned with her wellbeing. I never had a woman concerned over Hadley other than my mother and Pam of course. I was shocked she had nice teachers before but not like Sookie she seemed to genuinely care how Hadley felt.

"I knew I shouldn't have asked. I'm so sorry to bother you I hope you can forgive me. I'll just…" She started apologizing sounding defeated.

"No!" I interrupted her. "I really appreciate it I was just a little shocked is all. Yes I would like that and I'm sure Hadley would just love it. I'm just not sure I'll be able to pay you a lot."

"Oh no I don't need the money. I just want to spend time with Hadley and help her transition. I'm not charging you."

"Okay, well can we discuss this tomorrow morning. I'll ask Hadley how she feels about it tonight and let you know in the morning. Is that okay?" I asked really happy for some weird reason that Hadley and Sookie had bonded so quickly.

"That's perfect. Thank you for considering it Eric. Goodbye." She said softly and hung up.

"What the hell was all that about?" Pam asked from across my desk.

"It seems Ms. Stackhouse is not only Hadley's teacher but might be her sitter. They seemed to have become friends." I heard Pam laughing and looked up at her with a scowl.

"Fucking Perfect!" Pam laughed. She is truly a pain in my ass.
