Ok so thank my boyfriend who told me I needed to write more. He got his toys to play with so I should write. Here is the next chapter.
Running. Fear. I'm running to get away from someone I don't know. I'm in the middle of the woods. A woods I don't know very well. I'm surrounded my tree's. Nothing more. I don't think I can make it much longer. There has to be a way out. I hear someone gaining on me, but I'm too afraid to look back. I hear a gunshot then feel a searing hot pain through my side. I can't make it and collapse on the ground. I hear someone stop a few feet away and I'm crying out for someone to save me. It's a woman who is standing over me now with the gun in her hand. Her face is shadowed and blurry but I can tell she has redishbrown hair and this fire red lipstick on. I'm guessing her face is blurry do to my tears. She's laughing at me and talking but I'm having a hard time focusing.
"You think he'll stay with you? Do you think he wants some white trash bitch like you? Wait until I get to him. He'll never want you back. He's mine!" All I see is the barrel of a gun and know I'm going to die. "Take one last look at your killer and know I won." BANG.
"SOOKIE! WAKE UP!" What the hell is that I should be dead? "Damn it wake up!" Well if this is heaven can I go back home now? "Fuck! Please wake up."
"Eric, hold on a second ok quit shaking her I'm sure it's not helping." Oh Eric ok so I take it back I like Heaven. "Sookie, sweetheart come on girl wake up." I crack my eyes open and I see the faces of what I would call my family all looking at me like I had just died and came back to life.
"What happened?" Thank you brain for supplying at least a coherent sentence. Why is my throat so damn sore?
"Baby, you were shaking and screaming so badly. You scared the hell out of me. What happened there? What did you dream about to make you so scared?" That explains the sore throat. And the fact that Eric is trying to squeeze the life out of me.
"Eric, sweetie can you please not hold me so tight? Thank you. Ok well I didn't mean to scare you guys. I just had a little nightmare that's all."
"Sook, I have been your best friend for years and I love you to death, but you absolutely suck at lying. Plus no little nightmare can cause you to shake and scream let alone us not be able to wake you up. Need I remind you, you are the lightest sleeper in the world?" Ok so she had a point, but seriously I needed coffee and some time to wake up.
"Guys can I have some coffee and a little time to become functional before I tell you what happened?" Ames is giving me the look. "Oh for crying out loud I promise I'll tell you chill I just need coffee." As Ames and Trey left I turned to Eric. "Baby I'm ok." I rub his forehead to keep his worry lines away. "I will tell you what's going on I promise."
"Sookie, that really freaked me the fuck out. Has that ever happened to you before?"
"Honestly, no never." I get up out of bed and put my robe on and toss Eric his shirt. "Lets go to the kitchen so I don't have to tell the story more than once." We walk out to the kitchen and Ames has my cup ready and sitting at the table with it. I grab for it to take a first sip and as soon as it leaves me mouth Ames pounces.
"Ok so tell us what happened." I recap the entire dream even what was said at the end and look at all of them. Hell they look just as confused as I felt. I look to Eric to see how he's doing and he has this strange look on his face.
"What is it Eric?" He frowns and I'm sure it's because I noticed his change in demeanor.
"What did you say that woman looked like?"
"Well I couldn't really see her except for her hair and lipstick. Which was awful by the way." What? The woman was a pasty cake with fire lips it was ugly. Oh I should tell him she was a pasty cake. "Oh and she was a pasty cake." Thank you inter monologue you serve me well.
"Sookie, a pasty cake really? I taught you so well!" Ames smiles big at over her cup of coffee. By this time Eric's face visibly pales. Which is Scary as hell since he is a tan man.
"Eric, baby, what is it?" He looks at me and his eyes are so scary.
"Sookie, have you ever seen a picture of my ex wife?" I shake my head at him. "My ex wife was pasty white had redishbrown hair and always wore this bright red lipstick when she went out. But you have never seen her so how could you dream of her?" Ok that's creepy as hell. Maybe I have a sixth sense like I know who's going to kill me. Ok I'm going to creep myself out more if I don't stop.
"So you're saying that I had a dream about your wife murdering me in some woods somewhere?" Now that I've said it out loud it sounds just as stupid as it did in my head. "Ok this is crazy. It was just a nightmare of some crazy women. Amelia quit looking at me like that I know you believe in all that shit about your subconscious warning you, but damn it I refuse to let this stupid dream scare me into hiding."
"Sook, maybe we should stay together you know? Maybe to somewhere else for a while just in case." So now I have to give up my life because of a damn dream? Last time I tell them shit. I know Gran would have said the same thing Amelia said and I would have listened, but I have to be stubborn at some point. I wouldn't be me if I wasn't.
"Well I already told you I'm not hiding out. What's the worst that can happen?"
"You die." They all had identical looks on their faces when they spoke together. If that isn't enough to make you want to run for the hills then I don't know what the fuck would.
"Oh that was just fucking creepy. Fine what do you suggest?"
"You guys could stay at my place. Bill doesn't know where it is and neither does Eric's ex wife. I mean it's big enough for all of us." Trey doesn't live far from here so it's not a bad plan.
"On one condition Trey, that I will stay at your house with your tigress." Ames smirks at me. "Eric has to stay with me. It's only fair if you guys get to have all the hot monkey sex in the work then I want to have some too." I got Eric to smile I win!
"Oh please Trey? You know how I love listening." Oh gross she's my best friend but she is a freak of nature!
"Ok but you don't have to beg I already planned on having him there. More security the better. You two better cook though." Typical man all he can think about is food and sex possible at the same time, which in my mind is kind of appealing. I wonder when I started thinking like a man. Been hanging out with Ames too long. Ok mind back on track now.
"Ok now that my life is planned out for me. What's for breakfast? And when do we leave?" I hear our house phone go off. Who is calling at..oh it's after 12. Oops.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Miss. Stackhouse this is Bud Dearborne. I was just calling to let you know Bill was in court this morning. We couldn't find Calvin but Bill's lawyer was good. He only got a slap on the wrist and has to stay away from you. Apparently his money is worth more to the judge then his guilt. I just wanted to give you a heads up. We are still looking for Calvin. If you need anything give us a call." Click. What. The. Fuck.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me."
"Sook, who was that?"
"Bill was in court this morning. Money is everything in the land of the law it seems. He's free." I hid my emotions very well. I would not cry I would not scream. I was blank. Numb. Who lets a criminal go? Oh yea our judge did.
"Baby, are you ok?" I just blinked at him.
"Do I look ok? First I had this dream about being killed and now my would have been, could still be rapist, psychotic ex boyfriend is not going to jail for kidnapping and drugging me. I'm Peachy!" Fuck. "I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to snap like that." So much for holding it together.
"Come here Lover. All will be fine I swear. I love you and I promise you I will keep you safe." I cuddle into his side and can't help but think about wanting to get him lock up myself. Who needs Calvin when I can make myself bait.
"I don't want to quit dancing just because he is on the loose. We can stay at Trey's, but think about it he'll know I won't go back to work so why not go back there. He won't think I'm there. Plus Eric you own the club and he's seen you. He could go there as well." I know Bill knows me well enough to not want to leave my job so I'll lure him right out to me.
"Sookie, I don't think that's such a good idea. I know you well enough to know that you're up to something." Damn it Amelia shut up. I give her the 'don't say anything more I'll tell you later' look. With a barely noticeable nod she drops the subject. I look over to Trey who seems to know what just transpired with me and Ames but he stays quiet. Thank God!
"Hey man we need to get the house set up will you come with me to get everything fixed up?" Thank you Trey. Eric looks like he is about to tell him hell no when I decide to sooth his worries.
"Baby me and Ames need to go to the grocery store anyways to get food for you guys. We'll be ok. He won't do anything in a big crowd. Plus is he tries Amelia will scream rape or something. You know her she's crazy." I look over to Ames and wink.
"Damn straight! I am one crazy bitch." I smile at Eric and give him a big passionate kiss. He pulls away and hugs me tight.
"You get yourself injured I will punish you!" I shiver from his words. "I love you Min vackra älskare." Mmm he's never spoke his language to me before. Oh damn its sexy and I cant stop myself from burying my head and licking his neck.
"I love you too. What did you say to me?" He smirks and kisses me then leaves with Trey. Asshole I wish I knew how to spell that shit I'd so Google it!
"So missy you gonna explain to me what the fuck you think your doing?" Butter me up Ames I'll tell you everything that way.
"Well since I know Bill and you know Bill and he knows me.."
"Ok yes we know Bill and you get on with it."
"I would have if your ass didnt cut me off. So like I was going to say. He knows i won't stop working at my job just because I got scared. I want to lure him out and have him come to me so he can try to get me and we can get it on camera. I dont want Eric to find out because I dont want him worrying himself bald. I like his hair the way it is now."
"Well that my dear would be a grand plan if and only if you can keep Eric from flipping his shit and killing Bill when he shows up. Other wise you'll have a boyfriend who is bald and gets locked up for life." She's right I need to be careful.
"We need to call Pam and let her in on it but we have to make sure she won't tell Eric a word. Trey already knows somethings up he saw our little exchange. You know better than to say shit out loud when you see I'm trying to make a plan."
"Sorry sook, I wasnt thinking just worried about you." Love her to peices. "What do you think about your dream?"
"Honestly it freaked me the fuck out. I didnt know who that woman was but she seemed to know me and the words she said about me being with him? I have a feeling if she is who Eric thinks she is then she was talking about him and me being together. That by its self is creepy.I dont know what to think about this whole situation. All I know is Eric is my man and no one is going to take him from me."
"But someone can take you from him." It was said so low that I barely heard Ames, but I did and she knew it. She was right I just needed to be more careful with how I do this. Not long after we made our plan to dance the rest of the month and called Pam to let her in on our plan, we made it to the grocery store. Walking around getting meals together for the guys and us I felt like I was being followed. Ames walked off to go find the fresh meat and I was down the Seasoning isle, but I knew I was being watched. I tried to descretely look around me to see who could possible be following me here. What I saw froze me right in my tracks. There not four feet from me was the woman from my dreams and she was staring right at me. I turned as fast as I could without drawing attention and walked towards the meat section. I came out of the isle so fast I ran right into Ames sending her flying onto the floor. I quickly grab her and drag her into another isle.
"Amelia we have to leave now I mean get to the register and check the fuck out. I saw the woman form my dream. She's been following me and she was staring right at me when I turned around on a hunch that someone was watching me." If Amelia's eyes were so wide I thought they were going to pop out. "Amelia get it together we need to get out of here. Now." We walk as quickly as we can trying to act normal. I look around and dont see her anywhere. I know we shouldnt go straight to Trey's but he have to go there or Eric will know somethings up. Why the hell is she here? What does she want? After we paid for everything we got the hell out of there. Being paranoid is not a trait Ames hides well. So we drive around a little while until she calms down. Even though the woman is after me she's the one panicking. We get to Treys and the boys are outside helping unload the car. Trey keeps looking at us expectantly and I told Ames to take him to their room and discuss the plan.
"Sweety, I'm going to be dancing with Ames tomorrow. Pam knows of the situtation and it going to be on the look out for us. I know your worried, but can you please not wrinkle your forehead it makes you look old." He smiles at me.
"I do not look old. I am a sexy man thank you very much."
After we got settled in for the night and Ames and I, ok so mostly me, made chciken and gravey for dinner we all piled on the couch to watch a movie. Half way through I felt Eric pick me up and take me to bed.
"Sorry I fell asleep baby." I said yawning and stretching like a cat.
"Lover, no need to apologize we all have had a stressful day. Go to sleep i'll be back in a few minutes." I snuggle into the bed and drift off to sleep.
Ok so Dont be mad I have the next chapter ready and it is the action chapter I will have it up as soon as I'm done editing it. Which shouldnt take too long. Let me know what you think. Your reviews keep me inspired.
