Stepping off the plane, the first thing Sookie saw was a human man standing next to a black SUV. She figured it must be someone Eric knew as he walked up to the man. Helping Jason and Godric grab all the bags, they all made their way over to Eric. Eric turned to them as they approached.

"Sookie, Jason, I thought that at least for tonight you could stay at one of my homes. It's already light tight and safe. If you want to stay until your home is ready, you both are more than welcome to." Eric said.

Sookie smiled at him, grateful for the offer. "Thank you Eric, I'll stay tonight and let you know tomorrow at sundown what I want to do after that.

Jason nodded his head in agreement. "Where she goes, I'm going to. I ain't leaving her in a strange town, in a strange house with y'all. No offense."

Neither Eric or Godric took offense, both understand what he was saying. Eric turned to his dayman to finish questioning him on the list of things he asked of him.

"Bobby, are the things I asked for in the SUV already?"

"Yes Sir, I picked up everything and it's waiting for you."

"Thank you Bobby, you may leave now." Eric dismissed the man and started to bring the bags to the back of the SUV.

"I'm sure you two are hungry, where would you like to go eat?"

Not knowing what was in the area Sookie looked at her brother, hoping he had a clue.

"Anywhere?" Jason asked with a goofy grin on his face.

"Sure, you and Sookie are the two eating, it won't matter to us where you go." Eric replied.

"Well alright then. Sook, I'm taking you to the Blind Tiger!"

The moment Sookie heard the name she started to groan. She had heard stories of that place, it was where Jason had gone to do karaoke a few times. "Jason Stackhouse I'm not doing karaoke, you can kiss that idea good-bye."

He chuckled at his sister. "That would be fun, but they don't have it tonight. But I still want to go, it's a great place. The food is great. They have this dessert I know you'll love, it's called Thedevilmademedoit, it's a brownie with toppings. It tastes like sin. Come on Sook, please?"

Her brother played dirty, he knew she had him at the dessert. "Fine, but I'm not sharing with you. Last time I only got one bite!" She opened one of the back doors on the SUV and jumped in, closing the door on her brothers teasing laughter. Only a moment later Jason went to the other side and sat in the back with her, letting Eric drive and Godric taking the passenger seat. Jason gave Eric the address so he could put it in the GPS and off they went, making their way to eat.

The four of them made small talk on the short drive and before they knew it, they had arrived. It was nothing like Sookie was expecting. She was honestly thinking it was going to be some run down crappy bar. But it actually looked decent, not only that but based on the smells coming from it, it seemed like it would be a good place to eat as well.

The service was great, almost as soon as they walked into the door someone was showing them to a table. Sookie blushed like crazy when Godric pulled out her chair for her before taking the seat next to her. Jason sat across from her, leaving Eric to sit next to him.

Their waitress came walking up to them, took their drink order and quickly brought back the two sweet teas they asked for.

The two vampires just sat back and took everything in while thinking. Eric was thinking about ways to make Sookie's home safe and if she would let him get guards for her. Godric was thinking about all the stuff he wanted to look up online the first chance he got, he wanted to make sure he tried his best at this relationship thing. He was also thinking that he was happy that Sookie seemed to enjoy a rather simple life, he would fit right in and couldn't wait to.

"So Jase, what's good here?" Sookie inquired.

Jason who had glanced over the menu, looked over at her. "Well I ain't tried that many of the things here but last time I came with Hoyt and some chicks, one of them ordered the Dixie Chicken, it looked like something you would like."

She checked that dish out and figured out it was one of the two she had already made note of. She just made up her mind of what side dish she wanted as the waitress came back to get their food order. Sookie ordered the Dixie Chicken with a loaded baked potato while Jason got a Ribeye with his own loaded baked potato.

Sookie tried to follow the conversation that they seemed to be having around her but was unable to. Every once in awhile her eyes seemed drawn to Godric and she let them trail over his face and what she could see of his body. She felt slightly vain but she couldn't help but send her thanks up to someone that she was blessed with him. The fact that he was wrapped up in such an attractive package was great, but what she really like was that for a vampire he seemed intent on getting to know her, a mostly human female. From what she had seen so far from vampires, it wasn't something they normally did. Most of them acted like humans lived to serve them, to do their bidding, not that they mattered in any way.

Godric could feel her eyes on him as they roamed his body, but as much as it pleased him, he did nothing. He remembered that she was in fact a virgin and he didn't want to scare her off, no matter how much he wanted to turn his head just slightly and catch her eyes as she eye fucked his face. Fuck. That damn blush on her face was going to drive him nuts.

Jason watched his sister with hidden glee as she was checking Godric out while Godric was trying hard to act like he couldn't tell. Jason tried not to think about it too much, in case his sister was listening in. Luckily, it seemed that she was too busy to pay attention to what was going on in his mind.

When the food came Sookie was happy to find out that her brother was right, the Dixie Chicken was delicious. It was a grilled and marinated piece of chicken breast topped with tomato and gooey, yummy, melted swiss cheese. All too soon their dinner was over and it was time to head to Eric's. Jason and Sookie thought about having dessert, but both agreed they were both too full and would come back another time to try it out.

After a short fight over who paid, which Eric won, the bill was paid and Eric lead them all back to the car.

The house he took them too was surprisingly in a small gated, private community. Eric had to speak to the guards at the gate to get passes for Jason and Sookie to come and go during the day if they wished.

Sookie couldn't stop the snort that came out when she took in his house. To her discomfort, the small noise wasn't as small as she thought as the others looked back at her.

"Um, it's not what I expected?" She claimed.

With an amused twinkle in his eye Eric teased her, "Oh? Have you thought of my home before Sookie?"

Sookie exhaled deeply in mock anger. "Oh yes Eric, every night." She rolled her eyes at him, making sure he was watching.

Getting out and heading to the back, Godric grabbed some of the bags. "Ok children, stop fighting and let's head inside."

But Eric being who he was, had to get one last dig in. "Great mom, you got me in trouble with dad. Thanks so much." He said with an exaggerated groan, but did as he was told and got the rest of the bags and opened the door to go inside.

Eric took Jason and Sookie on a short tour of the house and showed them to the rooms they would stay in. He left them to wash up or do whatever it was humans did after telling them to meet him and Godric in the office soon. They took a short bathroom break and walked back down to where Eric had pointed out the office. The moment they stepped in and sat down Eric started talking.

"I'm sure you are both tired and are ready to go to sleep but we thought it would be a good idea to go over a few things first. Since we will be dead for the day tomorrow while you are awake, it would save some time if you could do a few things."

Sookie was all for helping out, without even knowing what it was she jumped in. "Sure Eric, what do you need?"

"Well it's not what I need, it's what you need. Godric needs a safe and light tight space in your home. You and Jason know that house better than us, between you and him I think you can figure out the best place. I've wrote down how large it should be and a few other things." He handed Sookie a notepad and a piece of paper with numbers, measurements and other details on it. "If you figure out a place before we rise tomorrow, you can call the number on the top and make an appointment to meet someone from that company tomorrow night after dark. This is a company I have used countless times, even in this home so I trust them. I wrote down their website which shows all of their security options and what else they offer. If you also have time, you can use one of the laptops down here to check it out and see if anything they offer catches you eye. You do agree the home needs to be more secure correct?"

Sookie was taking all this information in and was in shock. When did he have time to write all this down? Oh right, vampire speed, duh!

"Wow Eric, thank you. I do agree, the house does need it. I'll get as much done tomorrow as I can."

They spent a few more minutes going over the list, making sure they got everything covered. After Eric answered Sookie's last question, he looked up and asked if there was any more.

Jason spoke up, "Ya, I got one. Where's the nearest coffee shop and can you leave us some car keys or something for tomorrow?"

"There is a coffee shop right down the road, I'll leave the directions and keys on the kitchen table. I'm sorry, I didn't think about coffee when I asked Bobby to get you guys some food and other human stuff, it just didn't cross my mind as one of the important things to get. I haven't been around that many humans before." Eric said.

"Well it might not be that important for most humans, but it's very important to Sookie." Jason told them and laughed when Sookie flipped him off.

The vampires were confused. Was coffee really that important? Godric bit the bullet and asked. "Is coffee really that important or are you joking?"

"Hell no I wasn't joking. Y'all don't ever want to see Sookie when she first wakes up and there ain't no coffee. That shit ain't pretty, she's scary as fuck! Think of it like y'alls blood, you need it to survive right? Well Sook needs coffee to survive." He finished saying as he dogged the elbow Sookie was trying to dig into his ribs.

"Have your laughs you jerk, you can't function without coffee either! I'm going to bed. Good night everyone." Sookie got a round of good nights back and was almost to the door when she felt a soft touch on her lower back. Turning around she saw it was Godric.

"May I walk you upstairs?"

Struggling not to let it show how much his light touched burned her, in such a delicious way, Sookie agreed. He didn't take his hand off of her back the whole way up. When they reached her door he turned her gently to him and moved his hand from her back to her waist. She wondered if her heart was pounding as much as it felt like it was.

"Sookie, may I kiss you good night?"

Sookie forgot how to breathe. Inside her mind she was jumping up and down while she was screaming to herself. A sexy guy asking my permission to kiss me? Of course you can big guy, lay one on me, right here on my kisser! Pucker up hot stuff! She was glad that she let none of her insane inner ramblings out, instead just giving a shaky nod of consent.

As he leaned closer to her, time seemed to stand still. Her heart was pounding, the temperature in the hallway felt like it had gone up so high that she was sweating. Her heart then skipped a beat and she forgot how to breathe as his lips tentatively caressed hers in a kiss that was soft, tender and amazing. He pulled away after a moment and as his thumb rubbed a circle on her waist he whispered against her lips, "Good night Sookie, I shall see you when I rise." Laying another soft kiss, this time on her temple, he let her go and gave her a gently nudge into her room.

Sookie tried not to stutter as she told him good night back, but she was sure she did not succeed. She grabbed some night clothes from her bags and quickly got ready for bed. She wanted to fall asleep fast and get tomorrow over with, already was she counting the hours until she would see Godric again, wondering when their next kiss would be.

Shortly after Sookie and Jason had fallen asleep, Eric's door was slammed open by a visibly upset female.

"Eric, explain to me what the fucking hell this tattoo is!"

Eric laughed at her. "I wondered when you would be by. Have a seat, let me tell you a little bed time story." As the female sat, Eric and Godric explained the last few days. If she didn't have the proof on her wrist and had seen theirs, she would have thought it was a made up fairy tale. A fae and a vampire? It was just unthinkable.

She sat back with a sigh. "Well isn't this just peachy. So does this mean I have to like her now?"

A/N- the Blind Tiger is a real restaurant in Shreveport, or at least it was the last time I was there. I tried my hand at making a fake restaurant but it just didn't work, so I used a place I've been to. All the dishes I used are also real, they do not belong to me.
