As always I own nothing. Enjoy...

Chapter 13

Sookie started into a routine of school, friends, Bill, work, and family. Her grades stayed up, she hung out with her friends as often as possible although she didn't see Eric, Sam, JB, Alcide, Tray, and Terry as much as everybody else because of football. She had dinner with her family every night except Friday nights because of work, and she still went to church every Sunday with them. She still had her Saturday night dates with Bill and with every date Bill got a little more handsy with her then the week before. Then one week in mid October they were parked by the lake and no matter how many times Sookie moved Bill's hands it didn't slow him do one bit.

"Bill stop" Sookie yelled at him as she pushed him away.

Bill moved back from her and said "What now" with his voice slightly raised.

"Bill we need to stop I've been letting you go farther then I was comfortable with for a while now and now it heading down a road I am not willing to or ready to go down" Sookie told him.

"Jesus Sookie, what more can I do, I love you and I gave you a promise ring to show you that when you are ready I will marry you does that mean nothing to you" Bill said throwing his hands in the air.

"It means a lot to me and I love you too..."

"Then what's the problem, we are in love and we have made a commitment to each other, I don't see what is wrong with taking things farther." Bill said trying to get his anger under control.

"I have a plan for my life, a plan that I made you aware of a long time ago and a lot can happen in five years Bill. Lets say I didn't wait till we are married and you go off to college, meet someone and she is the love of your life what then, my virginity is something I want to give the man I marry and I'm old enough to know that we are to young to be thinking that we will be together forever." Sookie said slightly exasperated.

"Well then let's say I do go to college and meet 'the love of my life' and you meet yours, you get married and give him your virginity. Then you get divorced and you've given it to someone not worthy of it, then you'll regret it" Bill said his anger rising a little again.

"Well if we do get divorced, I won't regret it because if he was worth getting married to the he's worthy of my virginity and stop trying to make arguments so I will just say fuck it and give you what you want because it's not going to work" Sookie said her anger getting the better of her and making her curse. She got out of the car and walked home before she said something she did regret.

Bill followed her home to make sure she got home safe and as she was walking up her drive way he sped off to go see Lorena so he could release some of his frustrations. When Sookie got home she went straight too her room and let the tears fall as she questioned if her beliefs were in fact the right choice. Just as she was falling asleep Jesus' words about being true to her self no matter what drifted through her head.

The next day after church Bill walked up to her and took her hand to lead her to his car so they could ride together to Gran's house like they always did but Sookie hesitated.

"I know you are mad at me and I am very sorry about last night, please come with me I want to talk to you" he whispered in her ear and pulled back to smile at her. Sookie heart melted looking at him smile at her with an unsure smile on his face and decided to go with him. On the way to Gran's they had worked everything out and were back to being a happy couple by the time they got there.

Eric and Pam had decided to throw a costume party the Saturday before Halloween. So the whole school was excited about and every body was talking about what they were going to go as.

The Monday before the party every one was at Amelia's doing homework when Pam asked "So what's everybody wearing to the party Saturday?"

Sookie said "I'm going as a fantasy fairy and Bill is going as a gunslinger" Pam nodded and looked at Arlene.

"I'm going as a flirty fralein beer maid and Terry is going as an old west bartender" Arlene told her.

"Like a couple's costume?" Pam asked.

"Something like that" Arlene replied and Pam looked at Lafayette.

"I'm going as super mac daddy pimp hookah" and Pam smiled while turning toward Tara and saying "and you and JB"

"I'm going as a midnight medic nurse and JB is going as a silly looking doctor called Dr. Shots" Pam just laughed at the idea of JB as a doctor and looked at Maria-Star.

"Alcide is going as prince charming and I'm going as that seductive snow white you showed me last Saturday" Pam nodded her head in Amelia's direction.

"You know I'm going as a mischievous witch."

"Yes I do but what about Tray?" Pam asked.

"Oh he's going as this animated full moon werewolf" Pam just rolled her eyes at Tray's obsession with wolfs and looked at Luna.

"I'm going as a flower child hippie and Sam is costume is called right on hippie"

"How did you convince him to do a couples costume?" Maria-Star asked.

"It wasn't hard the costume for him isn't much more then a pair of jeans, a shirt and a vest, with a head band and I promised him oral sex" Luna said with a devilish glint in her eye.

"Luna" Sookie said blushing.

"Oh Sook, you'll see one day that it's the best way to get your man to do something he doesn't want to do" Luna said with everybody agreeing with her.

Pam looked at Jesus and he told her he was a flight suit something like Tom Cruise wore in 'Top Gun'.

"What about you and Miriam" Tara asked.

"I'm going as Miss Wonderland it a sexy version of Alice in Wonderland" Pam said.

"And I'm going as a racy red riding hood" Miriam said.

"What about Eric" Sookie asked and a voice from the foyer said "what about me" Sookie turned toward the foyer, just as Eric and the guys walked into the living room.

"What costume are you wearing to the party?" Sookie asked him.

"He's not telling anyone" said Pam annoyed with an eye roll.

"I tried to get it out of him at practice today but nothing" Tray said.

"Y'all just ain't asking right" Sookie said and turned to Eric giving him the puppy dog eyes and said "Pleeeease tell us what you are wearing to the party"

Eric looked at her and groaned and said "I'm going as a Viking warrior" and the minute Pam saw him look at Sookie she knew he was in love with Sookie.
