CHAPTER 4
Earlier that day and night
Sookie sat in her kitchen trying to think about what was going on with her and Eric. He had never been so blatantly dismissive to her. Sure there where times when he didn't come around for a while ,which she hated that he did but, most of the times he called or sent one of his flunkies with a message. Nope, not this time though. He just sent gifts. They had stopped this week. Thank god.
She had a spare room filled high with boxes and didn't know what half of them where.
What was she going to do with them all. Looking at the clock on the wall she would have to think of it later. Right now she had to get to work.
Work was kinda slow today when Calvin and some friends came in for lunch. They sat in Holly's section so she didn't have to serve them. It wasn't that she didn't like them she just didn't like Calvin thinking of her as a breeding machine.
She was standing at the bar when she heard a thought come into her mind.
To bad they lost so much in the fire. We just can't afford to replace all the household stuff. It's hard enough fixing the house for them.
"Hey Sam" Sookie said as she went to his office.
Sam smiled at her looking up from his books. "What's up cher? How you doin'?"
"Oh I'm fine. Hey, did somthin' happen in Hot Shot a fire or somthin'?"
Sam thought about it for a minute. "UH Yeah now that you bring it up. I heard about one of the newlywed couples living room caught on fire. He was tryin to be a romantic and lit a bunch of candles then accidentally threw her silk teddy on them on the way to the bedroom. Caught the whole front of the house on fire before they realised the heat was coming from more then them. No real structural damage. Just the walls and roof but, you know how they are out there. The community will have the house fixed in no time."
"Oh my. That's to bad for them." Sookie said as she got an idea.
"Yeah sad and funny at the same time. Why you ask?"
"Well, I have a bunch of stuff at the house that I could give them. I just don't want them to know it was from me. Actually you hear of people needing things all the time. Can you come by after work and look through it. Maybe get what people could used and give it to them?" She hoped he would agree.
"That's mighty kind of you Sook but, why wouldn't you just do it?" Sam wondered
"I want them to have the things but it's kind of on the high end and if it comes from me people will know that a vamp was behind it. Then they won't take it. But if you give it to them and say it was from an anonymous donor they won't think anything of it." she smiled thinking that all those gifts Eric sent her would go to good use.
"OK. I can come and see after work no prob." Sam said with a smile.
"Thanks well gotta get back out to the grind."
Sookie worked the rest of her shift happy about getting all that shit out of her house once and for all. And fuck what Eric thought he should have known better then buy her all that stuff. She was turning to leave the dining room floor and get her stuff when BAM she ran right into Jane Boathouse who spilled her beer all over the front of Sookie. Great at least she was leaving.
"Sam I'm leaving. When are you coming by?"
"I can come by in about 20 min."
"OK" She walked out the back door happy to have time to get cleaned up. When she got in her car it just wouldn't start.
"GREAT JUST GREAT" she yelled into the air
Sookie went back to the office and asked Sam if she could get a ride to her house with him. She'll just get her car towed to Tray's tomorrow. Of course Sam agreed.
It was midnight when they pulled up to Sookie's house. She really just wanted to get out of her sticky clothes and take a shower. She led Sam into the spare room and turned the light on.
"WOW" Sam said as he looked at all the boxes. "Where did all this stuff come from?"
"Eric" Sookie sighed "There is some jewelry in these boxes up here. Maybe you could sell it and donate the money to people who need it ." she said as she reached for some of the boxes on the top. The boxes started to fall and Sookie lost her balance. Sam reached out for her and Sookie grabbed his shirt causing it to rip open.
"Oh shit Sam. Sorry. Tonight is just not my night. Hey do you mind if I go take a shower while you look through this stuff. This beer is really starting to get sticky?"
"Sure cher." Sam said as he took his shirt off and started opening and moving boxes.
It was almost an hour later that Sookie came out her bedroom pulling her robe closed. Sam was coming out the spare room pulling his shirt back on.
"Well that's a lot of stuff but I think I can find a home for it all. I'll come get it tomorrow" Sam said with a smile.
"Thanks. Want something to drink before you go?" Sookie asked as they walked down the hall.
"Sure." Sam said and he started to button up his shirt as Sookie tied her robe closed.
"sorry about your shirt Sam. I didn't mean to rip it." She was just having a very clumsy night first the beer then Sam's shirt.
"A shirt is a small price to pay Sook." Sam smiled coyly at her. All the stuff that Sookie was giving away was worth getting a shirt ripped.
"I don't want anybody to know Sam. People wouldn't understand at all." Sookie said as she sipped her tea
"What about Eric?" Sam asked sheepishly. Hell the jewelry she was going to sell was worth thousands alone Eric would have a fit.
"I don't care. It's not like I am going to tell him. He hasn't been around so it doesn't matter. He doesn't need to know. The way things are between us he won't know until it is to late anyways. It'll be our secret Sam." she winked and smiled. The way she saw it this would be a lesson for Mr. Northman. Serves him right for just ignoring her.
It was getting late so Sam stood up to leave. Sookie followed to walk him out. Sookie hugged Sam."Thanks Sam. I don't know what I would do without you. See you tomorrow around noon." This was better then returning the stuff to the stores and she knew Sam understood why she was doing all this he was a shifter after all.
Sam kissed her on her forehead "Sook you know I ... "
Sookie pulled back and looked at Sam she put her finger on Sam's lips before he could finish "shhhhhhh Sam I know." Sookie knew that this would also help the people accept Sam being a shifter better. I mean everybody loved free shit and this was really nice free stuff.
Sookie turned around and walked into the house. While Sam walked to his truck with a smile on his face. Sookie was the only person he knew that would donate gifts given to her by a 1000 year old vampire.
A/N: So let me know what you think. I always found that the communication skills between Eric and Sookie caused most their problems. I guess Pam agrees and has decided it is the best way to solve her problem. Next chapter we see how Pam is doing on her to do list.
