Chapter 11
Pam's POV
"Elly darling, I have figured out the puzzle and two Hawaiian gods are headed your way to straighten everything out. I will be back in a couple days. I have some unfinished tasks to perform for the queen" I left the message on her voice mail.
There was no way I was going to be there when Erica found out the truth. All the lollipops in the world won't stop that eruption. I know I've been there for Hurricane Sookie and Earthquake Eric.
Erica's POV
This is officially the worst year of my life. First I break up completely with Kai, of course that was for his benefit, then my mother got sick and passed, now Kai is happy a fiance and soon to be daddy to the one chick that I could go the rest of my life not hearing about.
So I did what I do best, I alienate myself and concentrated on school and work. Every time Pam would come to see me at work she would say… "So much like your father", "I need to make sure vampires can't have kids", or "Can I get a DNA sample." Whatever the fuck she meant.
I don't know why everybody had a problem. I was FINE. I spent time with dad the most. We enjoyed quiet together. We mostly talked about mundane things. He never brought up HIM. He understood what it was like to cut somebody out of your life.
Then one night Elly called me to the farmhouse. She said it was an emergency and I better not flake out. So I made sure I went. I was just a half hour late. Hey I can't put off work.
"Elly I'm here and since nobody is bleeding and the right people are still dead, what's the problem?" I called out.
"In the kitchen" she called out. Uh oh this must be bad all the important conversations happen at the kitchen table.
"Yeah, so what's up?" I said sitting down across from her. Dad was at the table too.
"You're late." she told me.
"You didn't say it was a family meeting." I rolled my eyes.
"Look I need you to listen before you say anything" she said. I nodded and gestured for her to continue. "Ok ...so ..I...um...I...was .."
"Oh for pete's sake Elly what is it already. I have things to do." I scolded
"Ok so I kinda sent Pam to find out what was up with KaiandNani." she said so quickly I thought I heard her wrong she kept going "I know you haven't been dating anyone Erica, you lied to Kai. So why would you blame him for moving on? You weren't being fair to him. I told him everything!" she finished
I stared at her for what felt like an hour then something snapped in me. I jumped up and over the table lunging at her throat. "You fuckin' bitch!" Dad snatched me mid air and held me back from a shocked Elly. "Why couldn't you just leave it alone. Always trying to help Adele. Sweet fuckin' Adele. It was none of your damn business. Worry about your love life oh I'm sorry you only have a sex life you don't know what love is." I was yelling as dad pulled me upstairs to my old room.
Eric's POV
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My daughters had bickered before and Erica could be violent, but never against her sister. I wasn't expecting Erica to jump at her Elly like that. I almost didn't catch her in time.
I carried her over my shoulder upstairs. The whole time she was screaming at Elly, not yelling screaming. I plopped her down on her bed with a little force. She was still fuming mad.
I knew it was time to explain some things to her. In a way I failed her by not telling her what life is like when you cut someone you love from your life. I had issued a punishment for me and Pam. I was not going to let my child go through pain she did not have to.
"Erica you will calm down this instant. What you did down stairs is not acceptable at all. We never strike against our family. Your mother would be horrified if she were to see your actions." I scolded her. Instantly she settled down.
"Now that you are ready to listen I am going to explain something to you." I sat down in the chair next to the bed and looked her straight in the eye. Her stare was ice cold. Under different circumstances I would have been proud of her death glare.
"55 years ago I made a decision that I felt was right. I sent my best friend, my confidant, my partner and my Child away. I felt it was the right thing to do. It was a punishment for her and in its own way one for me also. It was the hardest thing I have ever done other than bury your mother. I saw the way you looked in that hotel room after you sent Kai away. I recognized the coldness you began to develop. The problem is that I unknowingly affected all of our lives. I cut a friend out of your mother's life. I denied a family member from you girls. Your sister can see your life changing in front of her eyes and it frightens her. I can see it also and I have failed to stop it. You did not just close yourself off from Kai you closed yourself off from everyone. I was lucky to have your mother to save me from becoming a cold hearted bastard. You are lucky enough to have your sister."
She looked at me for a couple of minutes and I almost expected her to lunge at me. Then she spoke in almost a whisper. I knew she was still angry.
"I know what you're trying to say dad, but I can't handle this right now... I need time to think." then she left the room.
I heard her walking out the front porch. She might want to think fast cause reality was waiting for her outside.
"Oh Sookie please help our teacup" I silently prayed
Kai's POV
Da second she walks out onto da lanai, my heart starts to pound out of my chest. I heard her go off on Elly, not like Erica at all. She's so different now. I fucking hate Nani. She's always been crazy. Why da fuck did I believe Nani. Why did I walk away from Erica. This is my fault as much as it's Nani's.
"Hey Killah…" I said soft to her.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she said pissed off.
"I came to tell you da truth. Will you listen? I no more lollipops and my Uncle no stay so no attack me please?" I tried to joke with her. I got nothing. I frowned.
"Look Kai, I can't do this with you right now… just leave me alone." She said and walked away.
"Yeah that's right runaway Erica, what happen to the girl I fell in love with!" I yelled after her. She stopped and smiled one evil smile and walked up to me slowly. I thought she was going to break my nose again but instead she punch me in da stomach and walk off.
"FUCK ERICA!" I heard her dad yell from da house. He must have heard it.
"I didn't break anything." she said as she stomped off.
Oni laughed and patted me on da back and went after her. He stopped her at the edge of the graveyard.
"Erica, listen to what Kai has to say." Oni pleaded.
"What the fuck are Hawaiians growing in Bon Temps now?" She snapped. Oni chuckled and shook his head.
"You know what I missed you girl! You always make me laugh." He said picking her up in a hug.
"Put me down Oni. I'm not opposed to kicking your ass, too." He dropped her and they smiled at each other. That hurt me just a little bit.
"Fo' real Erica, he's stay hurting as much as you are. Da both of you are victims in this." She looked at Oni confused.
"What are you talking about Oni?" she demanded. He just nodded his head in my direction. She looked up at me and sighed, then walked over to me.
"So… talk." She stared me down.
"Fuck where do I start?" I looked at her little bit pissed too for her hitting me "How about… why you lie to me about being with other guys?" I spat.
"You know what… I really don't have time for this shit. Good bye Kai." she said and started to walk away. "No you know what let's settle this once and for all." She came back stomping up to me and got in my face. I backed away hands up. I swear I saw one smile, but she looked really pissed so I couldn't be sure.
"We said when we were sixteen that if it doesn't work and that if we were miserable we'd end it, remember?" she screamed in my face.
"No, YOU said… I wasn't miserable, and how was I suppose to know you were? Not like you said anything to me." I yelled right back at her.
"Oh don't give me that shit! Oni told me how miserable you were. We were FRIENDS… you weren't living Kai. I couldn't take it anymore being apart was killing the both of us…" She spat. "… and besides, all this talk about love! What a crock of shit. You fucking got back with that fucking crazy bitch! I wasn't with anyone and I told you that." She started to walk away again.
"Kinda late in telling me, but… shouldn't have lied to me in the first place. You made sure I moved on. You pushed me away and I do LOVE YOU!" I yelled after her "I'm sorry okay! I didn't listen to you the last time I saw you at your hotel. It didn't click until Elly told me everything. I did hear you though. I was just so messed up over the news of Nani. I remember you saying that you wasn't seeing anybody." I sighed "You should have been more clear. I never understand. I'm sorry. I love you Erica, please." She stopped.
"Well it doesn't matter does it, Kai? None of this does. You're getting married and have a baby on the way." She said still facing away from me. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her.
"No, I'm not. It was a lie Erica. It was all a lie. The baby is someone else's." she turned in my arms and looked in my eyes.
"Really?" Her eyes started to well with tears.
"Really…" I kissed her softly on the lips then pulled away "and we no need worry about Nani anymore. Your Aunty when glamour her and Ekolu into moving to the Himalayas." She laughed and kissed me back. Felt so good to have her in my arms again. She pulled away again and was crying.
"No you still live in Hawaii and I live here it still won't work. I think you should leave." she told me I was shocked.
Then Elly came rushing out the house and she was mad.
"ERICA RAVEN NORTHMAN. YOU STOP THIS SHIT" Wow Elly cuss? I never heard that, but she keep going. "YOU LOVE HIM AND FOR SOME ODD REASON HE FUCKIN' LOVES YOU. NOW SOME HOW YOU WILL WORK THIS OUT. DID YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM MOM, DAD, AND AUNTY PAM? YOU HAVE LOVED HIM SINCE YOU WERE 16. SO CUT THE SHIT AND BE WITH YOUR MAN AND IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME FOR FIXING THIS MESS THAT YOU STARTED THEN FINE. WE'VE BEEN SPARRING FOR 15 YEARS I WILL FUCK YOU UP AND DAD WON'T STOP US THIS TIME."
Then Elly took a fighting stance, Oni yelled "I get twenty on Tigah", and Erica started to laugh, laugh hard. Then Elly and Oni laugh too. I never think was funny. I was still shocked by Elly. I saw her drop one chick before but damn!
Erica stopped and looked at me. "I'm sorry, for everything. I was stupid. I just didn't like feeling the way I was and It wasn't fair too you." she when kiss me with so much passion I almost came right there. Then I heard somebody clear their throat and looked on da lanai.
"Just for the record Erica I would have let Adele fuck you up" her dad said with a smile then took off into the sky.
She turned and whispered in my ear "You know we're alone and I've never had make-up sex."
I looked around and Elly and Oni was gone. So was Elly's car. We were alone and who was I to deny my love for some making up.
ERICA'S POV
After Kai confirmed we were alone he kissed me again with as much passion as I had kissed him earlier. He grabbed me under my butt and lifted me. I automatically wrapped my legs around his waist. It felt so good to be back in his arms.
He started walking towards the house never breaking our kiss. It was like if we separated one of us, would disappear. When we got to the door he stopped and had me, pinned to it. He was grinding against me. It felt so good and I cursed my decision to wear jeans today, but the friction was AWESOME.
I reached behind me to open the door and we almost fell in the house. He put me down and we started walking toward my room. He still did not let me go. He moved his kisses to my jaw then my ear. I wrapped my hands in his hair and pushed his head more into my neck. He was nibbling and licking my neck causing me to moan. We were half way up the stairs when I tripped and he caught me. I decided I needed to turn around and climb them. I did not want to break my neck for sex. He smacked my ass on the way up. I giggled and ran to my room.
He caught me just as I got inside the room. He picked me up and tossed me on the bed. He looked like he was stalking prey as he walked up to the bed. He snatched my ankle and pulled me to the edge. I took off my tee shirt and threw it to the ground. Kai removed my tennis shoes and socks. He took my toes into his mouth and sucked. Did you know that your toes being sucked can cause your panties to get wet, well it can. I unbuttoned my jeans. He grabbed them and snatched them off. I lay there in my bra and panties while he kissed and licked up my legs. I swear he was trying to taste every inch of me. Kai took the side of my thong and actually ripped it off of me. He dropped to his knees and put my legs over his shoulder. He licked me as if I was a dripping ice cream cone. I have never felt anything so good. He kept eating away like a starving man at a buffet. I started feeling my stomach tightening and knew what was about to happen "OH. MY. GOD. KAI." I yelled as he began to fuck me with two fingers and suck on my nub. I came harder than I ever have. My legs clenched trapping his head between them.
"Ho, Erica... baby if you like more you have to loosen those legs little bit." I heard his muffled voice say. I loosened my legs and panted out an apology.
"No be sorry for one reaction like that." he said and stood somehow he was completely naked. I had forgotten just how beautiful his body was. It was still cut and seemed more muscular then I remember. He began to kiss up my body as we backed up onto the bed and I moaned again. I removed my bra just as he reached my breast. He flicked my nipple with his tongue and a whole new sensation of pleasure gripped my body.
He lined his dick up to my entrance and worry suddenly gripped me. He must have noticed 'cause he stopped and stared at me with a questioning look. "You still on the pill right?" he asked
"Ah...yeah" I told him nervously
"Do you want me to stop?" He asked and started to pull away
"NO!" I yelled and grabbed him back." It's just well I haven't had sex since you. 2 and a half years ago." I whispered to him and started to fidget.
He looked at me with concern in his eyes then said "I so sorry Ku'ulei, I'll never hurt you." Somehow I knew he didn't mean physically.
I nodded and he kissed me deep and slowly slid into me. There was so much love in the kiss and he filled me so completely tears ran down my cheeks. He paused when he felt them and asked me if I was ok.
"I love you so much Kai" was all I could say.
"I love you too Ku'ulei with all my heart always" he said and made slow meaningful love to me all night.
