Chapter twelve
Eric's POV
I take a deep breath as I prepare myself for mine and Sookie's second date. It has been just under a week since our last date, and only a few days since the last time I saw her. I can't say we did that much at my supposed appointment at the centre. I guess our mouths just got away with us, but I wasn't bothered by not actually talking about my behaviour. I was more bothered about the fact that Sookie could get fired, if that's even possible seeing as she is a volunteer, for not actually doing her job correctly. Actually, they technically can't fire her because they have no evidence what-so-ever to show that she didn't do her job. With that relief off of my chest I make my way up the steps of Sookie's porch until I'm stood in front of her door. Yes, I have spent the last few minutes sat in my car faffing with my hair. I'm that nervous.
I find that I really like Sookie and I don't want to screw this up; she's actually the first girl who's ever managed to keep my interest for more than just an hour. She's had my interest for an entire week! Now that, my dear friend, is a world record for me. I knock on her door, only to be greeted by a woman who definitely isn't Sookie. This woman has short brown hair and is dressed in skinny blue jeans and a crop top. She's sexy, I'll admit it, but compared to my Sookie, she's nothing but another woman. Wait; did I just say my Sookie? What the fuck is this woman doing to me?
"Eric, it's a pleasure to meet you" the girl winks at me as she steps to the side, a clear indication for me to enter. I follow her lead and step into the old farm house, a firm slap hits my ass making me jump slightly.
"Amelia, hands off. You have Tray, this one is mine" Sookie shoos away the woman, but to be honest I wasn't paying too much attention seeing as Sookie is stood before me looking like a goddess. Her golden locks are falling over her shoulders in soft waves; her bright blue eyes are shining with joy as she looks at me. She's dressed in a beautiful flowing short red dress that has a black sachet around the waist, which accentuates her every mouth-watering curve, and she's topped off the look with a pair of black fuck me pumps and a black handbag. Her make-up is light and I almost had an orgasm just looking at her.
"Wow, you look…breath taking" I compliment her as I take a step forward and gently press my lips to hers. You would think that I would be praying to lure her into my bed tonight, but I'm not. Yeah, I would love to have her in my bed, but right now I just want to enjoy the evening with her.
"You don't look too bad yourself" she grins as she takes in my smart black trousers, tucked in dark blue shirt with the top two buttons undone and the black blazer I've partnered it all off with. I have my hair tied back at the nape of my neck, and I made sure to polish my black shoes this morning. I wanted to look perfect for her, and now that I think about it; I sound like a girl. Well, fuck me sideways. Hmm, now that's quite an interesting position. I wonder if I can get Sookie to tr- my thoughts get cut short there when I realise that we're heading towards my car.
Strange, I never even noticed us leaving the house; but from the amused expression on Sookie's face I can clearly see that she spotted me gauming.
"Sorry" I admit like an abashed child as I help her into the car, her dress sliding up enough to reveal her smooth tanned thigh. I think I may have drooled, and not just from my mouth…
"It's okay, you're really cute when you're thinking" she smiles as she bites her lower lip lightly. I climb into the car and start up the engine before making the drive to a different restraunt this time. I didn't want to take her back to the same restraunt; I want to take her somewhere new. And the restraunt I'm actually taking her too has been voted 'the most romantic establishment' by that magazine Pam reads. I cannot remember for the life of me what it's called.
When we walk into the restraunt, after I've parked and locked my car obviously, I hear Sookie gasp as she takes in the place. The lights are slightly dimmed and there are candles on every table, the booths are all private, well, most of them are anyway. I specifically booked us a table in a corner away from everyone; I have the pure intentions of kissing Sookie every chance I get. And I don't plan on kissing her under the prying eyes of everyone else. Once we are seated at the booth, out of everyone's view, I order us a bottle of wine. I want us out of everyone's view because I have recently heard that the paparazzi are back in the country. Apparently they've found out that I'm back in the country, and I want to avoid them as much as possible. Especially when I have Sookie with me. I don't want her to be put off of me because of those stupid, inconsiderate assholes.
"This place is beautiful, it's so romantic. I could have only have dreamt of coming to a place like this before I met you" she confesses, her eyes still milking in all of her surroundings. I remember then that she said she didn't grow up with much, that she never really had the money to do things like go out to places like this. Well, that all changes now. I am determined to spoil her rotten. She's a beautiful woman, and I am determined to keep her; I think she's perfect. And now I sound like I'm some pussy whipped bastard. Just fucking great.
"Eric, thank you for all this" Sookie smiles at me after we have gave our orders in.
"It's nothing, Sookie. I'm just glad to see you happy, I want to make you happy" I assure her as I rest my hand over hers.
"You do make me happy, and I know that sounds crazy because we've only known each other for li"- I cut her off there by attaching my lips to hers. I lick across her lower lip, begging for permission into her mouth which she happily grants. As I slide my tongue into her mouth, her tongue meets mine half way; the feel of her tongue against mine is orgasmic. Fuck, she tastes so good.
"You taste like strawberries, I love strawberries" I inform her with a goofy grin before kissing her again.
"Funny, I don't like strawberries" she giggles as she scoots around the couch that surrounds half the table until she's cuddled to my side. My arm wrapping around her instantly, almost as if this is just natural to me; as if this is an everyday occurrence.
"I know this is a little off topic and probably inappropriate, but how's the bruising around your penis doing?" well, I can't say I have any objections about her talking about Jr.
And from the feelings of it, neither does Jr.
"It's gone, actually" I tell her confidently, I noticed that this morning when I had to take yet another shower because I had a dream about Sookie. Even cold showers can't help me now. After we've eaten dinner and had a glass of wine or two the waiter comes back to take our dessert order, I unfortunately had to break away from Sookie's lips to address him.
"Would you like any deserts?" he inquires, I look over to Sookie who kisses me softly before moving her lips near my ear.
"I have a different kind of dessert in mind" she practically purrs, completely taking me by surprise.
"Are you sure?" I confirm with her before she nods, biting her lower lop slightly before nodding again. Looking much more sure of herself than she was before. With that I quickly pay the bill before guiding her out the restraunt and to my car. Before I start up the engine I kiss her again, softly this time because I want her to know I don't want to go any faster than she is. I want her to be in full control of where this goes.
"Eric, if we do this, do you promise you won't leave me afterwards? I don't want to be one of your other women, I want to be your woman" she whispers and for answer I look straight into her eyes as I prepare myself for what I'm about to say.
"You could never be one of my flings; I like you far too much for that. I would be honoured if you would be my partner" I tell her truthfully. Surprising both her and me.
With a quick tender kiss shared between us I start up the engine and pull onto the road. This is going to be the best night of my life, I can just tell. I can feel it. And it's all because I'm here with her. Yep, now I definitely sound like a pussy whipped twat. How the hell has she gotten under my skin so much? But I find that I really like her being under my skin, it shows that I won't break her heart because I find that care for her. And tonight I'm going to show her just how much I care for her. Despite the little amount of time I've known her for.
AN: I know this sounded a little soppy and I apologise, but I hope you are all happy with the ending result. And I know this is a little OOC but I did say in the first chapter that the story would be a little OOC and I apologise for that xx
So prepare yourselves for some yummy lemons in the next chapter xx
