I know I said it wouldn't be too long until I updated SCAL but this chapter just wouldn't come to me! Also, I am working on some more stories (some of them are one – shots for Kiss My Country Ass, and if you have any ideas for songs that I could use, let me know!

Disclaimer: Not Mine

Enjoy!

SPOV

This kiss was nothing like the one that I had experienced earlier. Our lips met this time in a slow, passionate embrace and as Eric slid his tongue into my mouth, I moved so that my arms were around his neck and even though the kiss didn't last very long, both Eric and I were breathless when we reluctantly pulled back, only for him to rest his forehead against mine, and we simply just started into each other's eyes for what felt like the longest time ever.

I can't say that it wasn't disappointing for Sookie to say that she wasn't ready to have sex with me, because it was. But, I meant what I told her. I would wait for her. As long as it takes.

Because she was all I wanted.

We were quickly pulled out of the bubble that we had somehow managed to build up for ourselves when Pam entered into the room behind us, saying "I don't know what the fuck it is that you two are doing up here but I could really use some help today". My heart broke at hearing my little sister's voice crack at the end of the sentence, and it was enough to make me pull away from Sookie, and get up out of the bed before wrapping my arms around her as she began to cry softly into my chest.

Pam never cried.

"What is it that you need some help with doing today?" I whispered lowly into her ear, so low that I was sure that Sookie wouldn't even hear – and she was sitting in the bed behind us.

"I need … I need to cancel everything … " she sniffled into my still bare chest. (I was only wearing a pair of boxers).

"Shh … don't worry about it Pam … Sookie and I will help you to sort everything out. You know that you have the both of us for everything that you need. You don't have to go through this alone" I told her, and then somewhere in the background, I heard Sookie's phone begin to ring, and then she got up of the bed, and left the room in order to answer it.

"I … am so sorry for being like this, Eric …" she sniffled.

"Pam .. don't worry about it … I know that you really loved Stan, so of course you are going to be upset. Just promise me one thing" I said to her.

"What is that, Eric?" she said, looking straight up into my eyes.

"Please stop crying. You know I can't handle a crying woman. Especially when it is either you, mum or Sookie." I admitted, and Pam laughed through her tears.

"Seriously Eric … for someone so tall and so manly … you can't handle a tiny, crying woman." She said, and I nodded whilst smiling.

"Alright so … just let me get changed, and then I can help you get started on everything" I said, giving her a kiss on the forehead and then shooing her out of the room with my hands. She stuck her tongue out at me and walked away laughing.

Ah. My Pammy was coming back. Slowly, but surely, she was coming back.

I quickly pulled on a pair of old black jogging bottoms that I kept at Pam's for when I stayed over with her, as well as a plain t-shirt. I was sitting on the bed, pulling on a pair of worn socks as Sookie came back into the room. She threw the phone down on to the bed, and then wrapped her arms around me.

"Well … how did it go?" she asked, and I assumed she meant my little impromptu chat with Pam.

"Pam is holding up as well as can be expected." I said to her.

"I know … when she picked me up at the airport, she looked like she really loved him. I mean, she was so excited to become Mrs. Davis." she said.

"I agree with you there, lover … I have never in my whole life seen Pam so happy." I said, and neither I had.

"I am just glad that we managed to find our way back to each other … maybe there is a silver lining in this mess after all" Sookie said to me, and then leaned up to give me a chaste kiss on the lips. "I love you Sookie" I said to her, and then untangled myself from her arms before dragging myself up off of the bed.

"I love you too, Eric but why do I sense there is a but in that sentence somewhere?" she said, her eyes teasing.

"There is. I have to get downstairs to help Pam to cancel everything." I said, and then picked up my grey zip up hoodie from where I had left it on the bed. I gave Sookie another chaste kiss on the lips before making my way down the stairs to Pam.

"Hello" I said, when I left the room and walked as far as the top of the stairs.

"Hey, it's me" Amelia said from the other end of the phone line.

"Hey, Amelia" I said, as I sat on the top stair.

"Can you come over today, Sooks. I really need you today." She said. I sighed.

"I am sorry, Ames. I am in Louisiana. I am not in California anymore." I confessed.

"Where the hell are you then?" she asked, sounding concerned.

"I am back home in Louisiana." I said.

"Why? I thought after everything that happened with the fucktard down there made you want to never ever go back?" she said. Amelia was one of my closest friends that I had in California. We had a very different relationship than the one that I had with Pam. Pam and I could be separate for liftimes but we would always have that same relationship. We could pick up where we left off.

"Don't call Eric a fucktard. He is everything but a fucktard." I gushed.

"How about a lying rat bastard?" she said.

"Ames. I returned home for his sister's wedding, which now isn't happening, and a lot of other things have happened. I don't think I will be returning to California any time soon." I confessed.

"You got back with that lying bastard didn't you?" she screeched.

"Yes, I got back with Eric, but it is a long story. I don't have time to tell you about it right now." I said when I saw Pam come out of Eric's/my room.

"Fine. I am coming to Bon Temps. It sounds like you need a friend. Plus, Tray left me for some other tart. I need you too" she said, and I groaned.

"Ames. I am staying with Pam right now so you will have to stay in a hotel" I told her.

"Fine" she sighed, and hung up without saying goodbye.

So … the plot thickens. What do we think of this one? Review to let me know …
