I reached Sam's trailer by around 9:00. I knocked on the door and called his name. After I waited for about five minutes and got no answer, I sat down on the porch steps and cried. I couldn't believe what I had just heard from Sookie about Eric and her. I mean how could he lie to me like that? It wasn't the fact that he had sex that upset me. I'm sure he was no stranger with the ladies all during his human life and vampire lif...death? Whatever. All I know is that Eric is drop-dead sexy with a heart of ice.
Sam finally came to the front door and opened it. When the light from inside his trailer lit up the surrounding area, I saw the boards over the front door of Merlotte's; Sam had broken the glass out of a fit of rage. He looked at me as if I was a ghost but gladly welcomed me inside. I didn't have any luggage or anything, after all, it was at Sam's house since I got here in Bon Temps.
"Gin, what are you doing here? Not that I'm not happy to see you but why were you traveling out there in the woods by yourself this hour of the night?" Sam made me a cup of hot tea in his small kitchen.
"Sookie blurted out the fact that Eric had amnesia not too long ago and he was staying in her house the whole time and the fact that they had wonderful sex the whole time and the fact that he called her his lover." I was shaking. From the cold or from just being upset I had no clue. But I was shaking.
Sam reacted in the way I thought he would react; he jumped up and found the phone before I could grab it out of his hands. "Sam, don't. I don't want any more trouble than what is already here. Sam I just want to go take a shower and go to bed."
He smiled and put the phone down. Would he make the call after I went to bed? Probably, but then I would be sleeping and not really care. I thanked him again for taking me in at this hour of the night and then went into the spare bedroom and found my luggage. It was so nice to be able to wear my own clothes for once, instead of whatever girl's clothes there were in Eric's closet. Maybe Pam's? Wouldn't she have her own house? Either way, I found my nightgown and undergarments and brought them with me into the bathroom. For a trailer to have two bathrooms was very rare, but Sam's did.
I stripped off my...well Eric's...fine...I stripped off the clothes I was wearing and stepped into the shower. The hot water felt so good on my body and it opened up all my senses. I half-expected Eric to just walk through the bathroom door and get into the shower with me. It wouldn't be unlike him. But my shower was alone and I'll be honest, I missed him. After I rinsed the shampoo out of my hair and the soap off of my body, I turned the water off and stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me. The bathroom was steamy and I couldn't even see myself in the mirror yet. While I got dressed into my pink plaid bra and underwear, I heard someone knock on the front door.
"Who is it?" Sam called from the other side of the front door.
"Eric. I'm looking for Ginnie."
Sam opened the front door but I never once heard him invite Eric inside. "She doesn't want to see you right now. She went to bed."
"Just tell her that I didn't even know about what happened during my amnesia before tonight okay?" Eric asked.
"Yeah, Uh-huh." Sam was shutting the door on Eric, I could tell by the way he was talking and then the door clicked shut and Sam locked it, twice. I was dressed and in my bedroom by the time Sam came down the hall to check on me. It felt so good to be near my family. Sam was the only family I had, we were adopted after all.
The window in my bedroom was wide open and there was no screen inside it to keep bugs and...other things outside. I leaned over to shut it but it wouldn't budge. It was as if it was glued open. I grabbed the window and pulled down with all my strength but the next thing I remember, I was being grabbed out of the window.
I kicked and screamed and tried to force myself out of the hold of whoever had kidnapped me. I was sure it was Eric. But I couldn't actually be sure until I saw this man's face, and in this light, I couldn't. There was duct tape over my mouth so I could no longer scream. Now that was not something Eric would do. Maybe I was really being kidnapped? Oh fuck...Sam hurry!
